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 transient or temporary public entertainment
licenses shall be made by the applicant to the Administrator 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 transient or temporary 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 Administrator 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 transient or temporary 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 transient
or temporary 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 transient or temporary public entertainment.

Posting of license. Such licenses when issued shall be prominently
displayed while the transient or temporary public entertainment is
in operation.

such transient or temporary 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.

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 chapter may be suspended or revoked by the Village President
where such transient or temporary public entertainment is not maintained
in accordance with, or if the person who maintains, owns, controls
or operates such entertainment shall permit the violation of, any
provisions of this Code or state law or where, in the opinion of the
Village President, the entertainment is deemed undesirable. Revocations
or suspensions may be appealed to the Village Board.
