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-Treasurer 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.
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.
