New Germany council waives hall fee, approves fireworks for Sept. 28 Fire Department dance
Summary
The New Germany City Council approved a seven-minute fireworks display after the Fire Department dance on Sept. 28, 2024, set for an 8 p.m. shoot at Lindstrom Park, and waived the hall rental fee; the council voted 5-0 and directed that an application be filed.
The New Germany City Council on Aug. 6 approved a fireworks presentation to follow the Fire Department’s Sept. 28 community dance and voted to waive the hall rental fee, the council record shows.
During the public-comment portion of the meeting, organizers including Mitch Hall described plans for a seven-minute fireworks show to be launched at 8 p.m. in the Lindstrom Park area adjacent to the old tennis court or horseshoe pit; organizers said they would not use shells larger than 2 inches in diameter and that Dan Mielke would submit the required fireworks application.
Councilmember Kevin Grove moved to approve waiving the hall fee and allowing the fireworks presentation; Councilmember Thomas Mielke seconded the motion, and the council approved it 5-0. The motion record does not specify additional safety conditions beyond the size limitation noted by commenters, and the application filing was identified as the next procedural step.
The approval follows other event planning details raised in the public-comment period, including a planned performance by a Johnny Cash tribute band. The council did not record additional conditions attached to the waiver in the minutes; the organizers are responsible for filing the fireworks application and meeting any permit or safety requirements required by state law or local ordinance.
