A.Â
Any provision of this Municipal Code to the contrary notwithstanding,
the possession and consumption of fermented malt beverages and wine

The permit shall authorize the permit holder and each member of the
permit holder's event who is of lawful drinking age or otherwise
permitted by law to possess and/or consume alcohol to lawfully possess
and consume permitted alcohol only within the pavilion.

I.Â
No member of the permit holder's event shall leave or permit
the leaving behind of any litter, including any alcohol container,
within the pavilion or elsewhere within the Footville Community Park
after the event for which the permit is issued unless placed in an
appropriate trash or recycling container. Any such litter which has
not been removed from the park within 24 hours after the conclusion
of the event shall be removed by Village personnel and the cost of
such removal shall be charged to and paid promptly by the permit holder.
Such cost shall be calculated based upon the hourly rates paid by

to payment of the cost of such removal, the permit holder and any
other person responsible for producing the litter may be subject to
prosecution under any Village ordinance prohibiting littering or similar
activity.
