The streets in possession of the Village are primarily for the
use of the public in the ordinary way. However, under proper circumstances,
the Village Clerk-Treasurer may grant a permit for street use, subject
to reasonable municipal regulation and control. Therefore, this article
is enacted to regulate and control the use of streets pursuant to
a street use permit to the end that the health, safety and general
welfare of the public and the good order of the Village can be protected
and maintained.
The applicant for a street use permit may be required to indemnify,
defend and hold the Village and its employees and agents harmless
against all claims, liability, loss, damage or expense incurred by
the Village on account of any injury to or death of any person or
any damage to property caused by or resulting from the activities
for which the permit is granted. As evidence of the applicant's ability
to perform the conditions of the permit, the applicant may be required
to furnish a certificate of comprehensive general liability insurance
to the Village of Woodville. The applicant may be required to furnish
a performance bond prior to being granted the permit.
A street use permit for an event in progress may be terminated
by the Village President or a law enforcement officer if the health,
safety and welfare of the public appear to be endangered by activities
generated as a result of the event or the event is in violation of
any of the conditions of the permit or ordinances of the Village of
Woodville. The Village President or a law enforcement officer has
the authority to revoke a permit or terminate an event in progress
if the event organizers fail to comply with any of the regulations
in the street use policy or conditions stated in the permit.
