There shall be a Local Film Commission consisting of the Director
of Public Safety, Director of Recreation and Business Administrator.
The Commission shall be charged with the responsibility of overseeing
the application of all rules, regulations and guidelines as set forth
herein to those desiring to engage in filming by way of use of the
Township streets, parks and other public places.
Anyone desiring to film or videotape in the Township in a way as set forth in §
299-1 shall first file an application for same in the Township Clerk's office. The Clerk's office will ultimately issue the permit. The permit must be required at least seven days prior to the requested shooting date with only the Local Film Commission having jurisdiction to waive such a requirement.

A. For bodily injury: $250,000.
B. For property damage: $150,000.
The person or company responsible for filming must, without
exception, give written notice to the residents and businesses directly
affected by the filming at least five days before the requested shooting
and include notice of any parking restrictions resulting from the
filming to take place.
No filming shall be permitted in a restricted area after 10:00
p.m. and in any other area no later than 12:00 midnight.
Any person aggrieved by the Commission's decision to deny
or revoke a permit can request relief from such decision by filing
a written appeal before the Irvington Municipal Council. The Council
shall act as an appellate review panel and decide to either affirm
or reverse such decision.
Any permit holder who shall violate any provision of this chapter shall be subject the penalty set forth in Chapter
1, Article
