[Adopted 7-15-2021 by Ord. No. 07-21]
Permits for special events or activities shall be obtained by
application to the Kinnelon Recreation Director or Borough Clerk in
accordance with the following procedures:
A.
A person seeking issuance of a permit for recreational or athletic
use shall file an application with the Recreation Director. A person
seeking issuance of a permit for a nonrecreational or nonathletic
use (such as for a concert, rally or political event, etc.) shall
file an application with the Borough Clerk.
B.
Permit applications for recreational or athletic use should be made
at least seven days in advance of the proposed use. Permit applications
for nonrecreational or nonathletic use shall be made at least 60 days
in advance of the proposed use.
C.
A person seeking issuance of a permit hereunder shall provide the
following information:
(1)
The name and address of the applicant;
(2)
The name and address of the person, persons, corporation, or association
sponsoring the activity, if any;
(3)
The day and hours for which the permit is desired;
(4)
The park, or portion thereof, for which such permit is desired;
(5)
Any other information which the Recreation Director or Borough Clerk
shall find reasonably necessary to render a fair determination as
to whether a permit should be issued hereunder.
A.
Standards for issuance of a use permit by the Recreation Director
or Borough Clerk include the following findings:
(1)
The proposed activity or use of the park will not unreasonably interfere
with or detract from the general public enjoyment of the park.
(2)
The proposed activity and use will not unreasonably interfere or
detract from the promotion of public health, welfare, safety and recreation.
(3)
The proposed activity or uses that are reasonably anticipated will
not include violence, crime or disorderly conduct.
(4)
The proposed activity will not entail extraordinary or burdensome
expense or policing by the Borough. The need for police presence will
be determined by the Kinnelon Police Department. All costs incurred
for policing of the proposed activity shall be paid by the permittee.
(5)
The facilities desired have not been reserved for other use at the
date and hour requested in the application.
B.
For any denial of an application, the Recreation Director or Borough
Clerk shall apprise an applicant of the denial and the reasons for
refusal in writing.
A.
A permit to do any act shall authorize the same only insofar as it
may be performed in strict accordance with terms and conditions thereof.
Any violation by its holder or his agents or employees of any terms
or conditions thereof, shall constitute grounds for its revocation
by the Borough.
B.
A permittee shall be bound by all park rules and regulations and
all applicable ordinances fully as though the same were inserted in
the permits.
C.
The person or persons to whom the permit is issued shall be liable
for all loss, damage or injury sustained by any person whatever by
reason of the negligence of the person or persons to whom the permit
shall have been issued. The Recreation Director or Borough Clerk shall
have the right to require any permittee to submit evidence of liability
insurance covering injuries to members of the general public arising
out of such permitted activities in such amounts as may be from time
to time determined by the Recreation Director or Borough Clerk prior
to the commencement of any activity for which a permit has been issued
or issuance of any permit.
D.
All permits that are granted must be produced upon demand of a police
officer or other designated Borough official.
The Recreation Director or Borough Clerk shall have the absolute
authority to revoke a permit upon finding of a violation of any rule,
regulation or ordinance or upon good cause shown. In case of the revocation
of any Borough permit, all monies paid for or on account thereof shall,
at the option of the Borough, be forfeited to and be retained by it;
and the holder of such permit, together with his agents and employees
who violated such terms and conditions, shall be jointly and severally
liable to the Borough for all damages and loss suffered by it in excess
of the money so forfeited and retained; but neither such forfeiture
and retention by the Borough of the whole or any part of such monies,
nor the recovery or collection thereby of such damages, or both, shall
in any manner relieve such person or persons from liability to punishment
for any violation of any provision of any Borough regulation. These
regulations shall be deemed a part of each permit issued.
