Summary

The board granted permits for two July fireworks displays — July 3 at Wolf Lake Memorial Park Island and July 11 at the west end of the lake for the Thomas M. McDermott senior Hammond Marina event — with Matt Baumer contracted as the aerial-display provider.

The board approved permits for two July fireworks displays: an approximately 10 PM show on July 3 at Wolf Lake Memorial Park Island and a July 11 display for the Thomas M. McDermott senior Hammond Marina event at the west end of the lake. Staff said the park board had already approved the requests and recommended City approval.

"Matt Baumer is the contractor providing providing both professional aerial displays for both events," a board item read; staff confirmed park‑board approval and asked the board to approve the permits, which members did by voice vote.

The board did not record additional special conditions in the transcript; staff noted usual coordination with public safety and park staff.
