A.
Any individual or group that desires to use a street or park for any type of organized activity(ies) shall first obtain a permit therefor as provided in this § 192-11. Organized activities include, but are not limited to, recitals, performances, group athlete activities, neighbor meetings, and similar events.

A request for street or park use must be made to the Village Administrator
at least 72 hours prior to the regular Village Board meeting preceding
the desire use. This requirement may be waived by the Trustees.
C.
The request shall be supported by such information as the Village
Administrator and the Village Board may require.
D.
The Chief of Police and the Fire Chief shall be notified of the request
and shall provide the Village Board information which the Board shall
deem relevant.
E.

of safety, convenience and any other matter determined relevant by
the Trustees and, when granting a permit, may condition the same on
compliance with such requirements as the Trustees shall deem appropriate.
A street or park use permit for an event in
progress may be terminated by the Chief of Police, Village Administrator,
or the Village President if the health, safety and welfare of the
public appear to be endangered by the activities generated as a result
of the event or if the event is in violation of the conditions of
the permit.
The Trustees may, under circumstances deemed
appropriate by them, grant permits for use of municipal meeting facilities
for private short-term use, upon such terms and conditions as the
Trustees shall require.
Unless otherwise provided for herein, any person violating any provision of this article shall be subject to a penalty under § 1-4 of this Municipal Code.
