The Village of Valparaiso Board of Trustees unanimously approved a permit allowing applicant Richard Haxton to sell fireworks during a special meeting Thursday at the Valparaiso Senior Center. Trustee Zwiener moved to accept the application and Trustee Turnwall seconded; the board recorded the vote as "YEA: All," and the motion carried.

The application stated that all tents, containers and restrooms associated with the sales would be removed by July 15, 2023, a condition noted in the motion that the board approved. The minutes do not record any amendments to that condition or further restrictions.

Chairperson Dan Homes convened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. with Trustees Draper, Turnwall, Wilson and Zwiener present. After the fireworks permit vote, board members discussed the village sewer project and the municipality's container policy; an older brochure listing town contacts was circulated for review, but the minutes do not show any formal action or vote on those items.

Chairperson Homes moved to adjourn at 7:43 p.m.; Trustee Turnwall seconded. The minutes were attested by Stephanie Nelson, Clerk, and Dan Homes, Chairperson.

Next steps were not specified in the minutes; the record shows the permit approval and the noted removal date for temporary structures as the only formal action taken at the special meeting.
