The Board of Trustees finds that the possession or consumption
of alcoholic beverages in public streets and public places, except
under certain conditions, is detrimental to the health, safety and
welfare of the residents of the Village of Wolcott, causes unsightly
and unsanitary conditions and creates a nuisance.
No person shall have, possess, carry, transport, drink or otherwise
consume any open bottle or other open container containing liquor,
wine, beer or other alcoholic beverage in or upon any public sidewalk,
street, highway, parking lot or public park or in any vehicle upon
such area in the Village of Wolcott.
A.
If any individual or organization desires to distribute or consume
alcoholic beverages on public property in the Village of Wolcott where
picnic facilities exist, said individual or organization must apply
to the Village Board or to the Chief of Police or his duly authorized
representative for a permit therefor on or before the date scheduled
for dispensing such beverages.
B.
No fee shall be charged for the granting of said permit, and said
permit shall be issued only upon the following conditions:
(1)
Such individual or organization, by its duly authorized officer,
must agree, in writing, to assume full responsibility for supervising
the conduct of the group of individuals benefiting from such permit
and to properly clean up the premises after use.
(2)
Such individual or organization must further agree, in writing, that
adequate precautions shall be taken to ensure that minors will not
be served alcoholic beverages at the permitted event or gathering.
(3)
No alcoholic beverages shall be consumed other than on the specific
premises described in the permit and only during the time stated therein.
(4)
No permit shall be issued to any individual or organization which
has previously been issued a permit and has failed to comply with
the provisions hereof.
The violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall
be punishable by a maximum fine of $250 or by imprisonment for 15
days, or by both such fine and imprisonment. Each day any violation
shall continue shall constitute a separate violation.
