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 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.
