The council approved a slate of event and loudspeaker permits for parks, stadiums and community groups — including a trail-build week, youth softball tournaments, a Labor Day march, multiple loudspeaker permits and other community events — all subject to insurance and usual conditions.

The Common Council approved multiple permit requests that allow community events and use of municipal facilities this spring and summer.
