For the good government of the Village, the protection of its property, safety, health and welfare of its inhabitants, the protection of their property, the preservation of peace and good order and the suppression of mischief and crime, the Board of Trustees deems it expedient and desirable to regulate the time when the use of any park, dock, public place or property owned by or under the control of the Village by the public shall be prohibited. In pursuance of its inherent police power and statutory authority, this article is adopted and promulgated.
No person or persons shall enter or assemble, congregate, remain or be in any part or parts of any park, dock, public place or property owned by or under the control of the Village during or between such hours of the day or night as the same may be closed for use by the public by order of the Board of Trustees.
Any order of the Board of Trustees pursuant to this article shall be in accordance with a resolution duly adopted by said Board; and any resolution adopted shall be published once in the official newspaper and posted in five conspicuous places. The hours during which any park, dock, public place or property owned by or under the control of the Village is closed for use by the public pursuant to order of the Board of Trustees shall be posted conspicuously at such place.
