[Adopted by Ord. No. 1411 (Sec. 15.08 of the Codification)]
[Amended by Ord. No. 1596]
Permission may be obtained for fireworks displays upon application
and issuance of a permit by the Village. Written notice shall be given
by the Village to all property owners within 500 feet of the site
of the display of either a Village Committee or Village Board meeting
at which the issuance of the permit is considered. Approval may be
granted by the Village Board if it is fully satisfied as to all aspects
of the display, including safety, appropriateness and the effect on
other residents and the community. If so approved by the Village Board,
the permit is to be issued by the Village Manager only upon his full
and complete satisfaction as to all safety factors.
Upon the issuance of a permit for a fireworks display under
the provisions of this article, the provisions of §§ 8-3A
and 9-2D(6) of this Code shall be superseded but only to the extent
of the activities expressly provided for in said permit.
No fireworks display permit shall be issued nor shall the Village
enter into any contract with a fireworks display company unless the
Village is assured that the contract with the fireworks display company
expressly binds the fireworks display company to cause its employees
to search the grounds of the fireworks display for any combustible
material or other dangerous material left by the fireworks display
company, and to remove all of said combustible and dangerous material,
said search and removal to be completed by one hour after sunrise
the day following the display.
[Amended by Ord. No. 1596; at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 17, Village Code and Ordinances,
Art. I)]
The applicant for the fireworks display permit shall pay a permit
fee within five working days of the approval by the Village Manager.
The permit fee shall be the estimated costs of the event to the Village,
including salary and benefits for police officers and DPW workers,
as determined by the Village Manager, plus an administrative fee.
The permit fee may be waived by the Village Manager for events which
are conducted by charitable nonprofit organizations or are of a civic
nature.
