Mount Wolf 4-14-1992 by Ord. No.
1992-03. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It shall be unlawful for anyone to participate in a parade or
procession of any kind unless a permit has been issued for the parade
or procession.
A.
General rule. An application for a permit shall be submitted to the
Borough Secretary, and shall contain the following information:
(1)
The name and address of the sponsor of the parade or procession,
the names and addresses of at least two of the principal officers
of the sponsoring organization, and the name and address of the person
designated by the sponsor to be in charge of the parade.
(2)
The purpose of the parade or procession.
(3)
The proposed date and time of the parade or procession. The date
shall be at least 60 days subsequent to the date of application for
the permit.

The anticipated number of participants in the parade or procession.
The date, time and route of the parade or procession shall be
determined by the Council and set forth in the permit.
The sponsor shall be responsible for all costs associated with
the parade or procession, including, but not limited to, police and
fire protection, damage to persons and property, and cleanup.
As a condition of issuing the permit, the Borough Council may
require the sponsor to obtain liability insurance and/or post a surety
company bond to cover the costs of police and fire protection, personal
injury to participants, spectators and bystanders, damage to property,
including Borough property, and cleanup. The bond and/or liability
insurance shall be in such amount as the Council reasonably believes
to be necessary to cover the anticipated costs enumerated above.
A.
Weapons. No firearm or other weapon may be carried by participants
in a parade or procession, unless specifically authorized in the permit.
B.
Animals. Any animals in a parade or procession must be followed by
a cleanup squad, which shall immediately clean up any droppings.
C.
Flags; banners; signs. The permit may restrict the size and manner
of construction of flags, banners, signs and similar devices.
D.
Parades and processions having as their sole purpose the advertisement
or promotion of a product or service are prohibited.
A.
Denial. The Council may deny issuance of a permit applied for under
this chapter:
(1)
If any required information is not provided in the permit application
or is determined to be untrue; or
(2)
If it determines that the size or nature of the parade will disrupt
to an unreasonable extent the movement of traffic or the public peace,
or will require a greater number of police officers than are available
to the Borough.
