A.
No person shall maintain or operate any transient or temporary public
entertainment within the Village without first obtaining a license
therefor as hereinafter provided.
B.
This article does not require a license for the conducting of fairs,
lectures, concerts, exhibitions or entertainments of a scientific,
historical, political, literary or musical character for humane, religious,
charitable or scientific purposes.
A transient or temporary public entertainment is one to which
the public may gain admission by payment of an admission charge. It
includes shows, circuses, exhibitions, carnivals and vaudeville.
Application for a public entertainment license shall be made
by the applicant to the Clerk-Treasurer in writing at least 10 days
before the planned event, and all of the information regarding insurance,
etc., shall be filed within 10 days and referred to the Village Board
for examination of the qualifications, character and reputation of
the applicant and of the desirability of permitting the public entertainment
to operate, show or exhibit in the Village.
A.
Insurance required. No license shall be granted unless the applicant
therefor shall have filed with the Clerk-Treasurer a public liability
insurance policy in a sum as set by the Village Board from time to
time with the condition that the applicant shall indemnify and save
harmless the Village and its officers and agents and citizens against
any injuries and damages resulting or arising from the conducting
of any public entertainment for which the license is issued or from
the performance by the applicant or his agents of any negligence incident
to or connected with the conduct of such public entertainment and
that the applicant shall pay all judgments, costs and charges that
may be recovered against the Village or any of its officers or agents
by reason of the conducting of such public entertainment.
B.
License fee required. No license shall be issued unless the applicant shall pay a license fee for the operation or maintenance of the public entertainment as set by the Village Board. All public entertainments listed in § 196-2 shall be exempt from any license fee if sponsored by a nonprofit organization.
C.
Posting of license. Such license when issued shall be prominently
displayed while the public entertainment is in operation.
D.
Food handlers to obtain health certificate. Any person employed in
such public entertainment for the purpose of preparing, handling or
selling food or drink shall submit to a physical examination and obtain
a health certificate as required by state statute.
E.
Inspection of mechanical devices. The applicant shall indicate the
date of the last state inspection of rides, merry-go-rounds and other
mechanical devices. The Village reserves the right to require inspections
of all mechanical devices that would be available to the public. All
inspection costs shall be paid for by the licensee.
Any license granted by the Village Board under the provisions
of this article may be revoked by the Village President provided such
public entertainment shall not be maintained or if the person who
maintains, owns, controls or operates such public entertainment shall
permit the violation of any provisions of this Code or state laws
or where, in the opinion of the Village President, the public entertainment
is deemed undesirable. Revocations or suspensions may be appealed
to the Village Board.
