[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council

noted where applicable.]
The film company will request a permit, in writing,
directed to the Borough of Harrington Park, which shall be reviewed
by the Mayor and Council, at least 10 days prior to the date of filming
at a regularly scheduled Council meeting. In such notification, the
film company shall advise of the filming dates, exact location, and
name and contact information of the person in charge of filming, and
name of insurance carrier.
The cost of the permit shall be $75. The permit
shall be valid for up to two consecutive days of filming. No filming
is permitted for more than two days without a permit extension, and
no more than two permits will be issued to any one property in any
twelve-month period for purposes of the filming referenced herein.
The fee for filming in Harrington Park shall
be $1,500 per event, payable to the Borough of Harrington Park before
filming begins.
If it is required that one or more officers
from the Harrington Park Police Department be present on or near the
filming location, then the film company will compensate the Borough
for overtime pay for any police officer (at their respective, contracted
overtime rate of pay) posted in the vicinity due to filming for the
period of time the crew is on site. The production company shall file
with the Chief of Police a copy of the attached Film Permit Police
Review form.[1] If after review the Chief determines that police presence
will be required, the Chief shall so note on the form, and an escrow
as established by the Chief for that purpose shall be deposited with
the Chief Financial Officer before any filming is to begin. In the
event, after filming begins, the Chief of Police determines that police
presence is required, then he shall immediately amend the permit,
requiring the appropriate escrow, and post the necessary police personnel.
