[Adopted 4-5-1988 as Title 7, Ch. 8, of the 1988 Code]
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 Board 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.
A written application for a street use permit by persons or
groups desiring the same shall be made on a form provided by the Village
Clerk-Treasurer and shall be filed with the Village Clerk-Treasurer.
The application shall set forth the following information regarding
the proposed street use:
A.
The name, address and telephone number of the applicant or applicants.

or by an organization, the name, address and telephone number of the
headquarters of the organization and of the authorizing responsible
heads of such organization.

will be responsible for conducting the proposed use of the street.

is requested.
The person or representative of the group making application
for a street use permit shall be present when the Village Board gives
consideration to the granting of said street use permit to provide
any additional information which is reasonably necessary to make a
fair determination as to whether a permit should be granted.
The application shall be accompanied by a petition designating
the proposed area of the street to be used and time for said proposed
use, said petition to be signed by not less than 75% of the residents
over 18 years of age residing along that portion of the street designated
for the proposed use. Said petition shall be verified and shall be
submitted on a form provided by the Village Clerk-Treasurer.
An application for a street use permit for less than three blocks
shall be accompanied by a fee as set by the Village Board. If the
application is for three or more blocks, a fee as set by Village Board
shall accompany the application plus a flat user fee as set by the
Village Board if traffic must be rerouted for the street closure.
If the application is for an event in which a major activity is the
sale or promotion of commercial products or services, the application
shall be accompanied by a fee as set by the Village Board, plus a
flat user fee per day as set by the Village Board, and the applicant
shall agree to pay within 20 days of billing all Village costs incurred
by the occasion of the event. The applicant may be required to furnish
a performance bond prior to being granted the permit.
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 with the Village of Tigerton. 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 a law enforcement officer if the health, safety and welfare of
the public appears 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 permits or ordinances of the Village of Tigerton. The Chief
of Police 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.
