[HISTORY: Adopted by the Village Board of the Village of
Grantsburg at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions,
Art. II). Amendments noted where applicable.]
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 section 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 on private property.
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 public entertainment licenses shall be made
by the applicant to the Clerk 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 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.
C.
Posting of license. Such licenses when issued shall be prominently
displayed while the public entertainment is in operation.
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.
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 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.
