§ 109.06. USE OF PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY AND MUNICIPAL PROPERTY.

(A)

Use of Public Right-of-Way. All processions, parades, footraces, marathons, walk-a-thons, bike-a-thons, bike races, open air public meetings, or any other group sponsored activity occupying or using any street or public place in the village, hereinafter referred to as an "event", except funerals, are forbidden unless a special event permit is first obtained. It is unlawful for any person to participate in any of the aforementioned activities that have not been authorized by a special event permit. Use of public right-of-way shall comply with applicable village policies.

(1)

Class A Permit: Not to exceed one hundred fifty (150) anticipated participants, no closure of streets, requires no village employees or village equipment.

(2)

Class B Permit: Exceeds one hundred fifty one (151) anticipated participants, closure or blocking of village streets, or requires use of village employees or village equipment.

(3)

Public Right-of-Way Deposit: A deposit to reimburse the village for any potential costs incurred with respect to the event for which a permit is issued may be required. Any required cash deposit shall be determined by the director of community development or his or her designee, at his or her sole discretion, in accordance with section 41.01 of this Code.

(B)

Use of Municipal Property. A special event permit shall be required to use municipal property. The applicant shall be responsible for securing such permit prior to the proposed activity. Issuance of a special event permit does not entitle exclusive use of any municipal property. Nongovernment use of municipal property requires general liability insurance and must comply with all applicable village codes and policies.
