[1983 Code]
No parade shall be allowed on any public way, including sidewalks,
nor shall any open-air public meeting be held in or upon any public
way or upon any ground abutting upon any public way, including sidewalks,
until a permit in writing therefor shall first be obtained from the
President of the Village.
[1983 Code]
Application to conduct such parade or procession or open-air
meeting shall be made in writing to the Board of Trustees at least
30 days prior to the event, by the person or persons in charge or
control thereof, or responsible therefor, and such application shall
set forth the desired route along which such parade or procession
is to proceed, the desired time of starting, the duration, and the
name of the person or society in control thereof, or responsible therefor,
and the purpose of such parade or procession. In case of an open-air
meeting such application shall specify the place at which it is desired
to hold such meeting, the purpose thereof, and the name of the person
or society in control thereof, or responsible therefor, the time at
which such meeting is to be held and the probable duration thereof.
Upon such application being made, the Board of Trustees shall investigate
or cause to be investigated the person or society making such application
and the truth of the statements made in such application regarding
the purpose or object of such parade, procession or open-air meeting.
[1983 Code]
The Board of Trustees shall consider all applications for permits
for parades or processions to be held on any public way, including
sidewalks and applications for permits for open-air public meetings
to be held in or upon any public way or upon any grounds abutting
upon any public way, including sidewalks, and will approve, disapprove,
or amend said applications. The findings of the Board of Trustees
are to be forwarded to the President for final action. If he shall
be informed by the Board of Trustees that such parade, procession
or open-air meeting is not to be held for any unlawful purpose and
will not in any manner tend to be a breach of the peace, and will
not unnecessarily interfere with the public use of the public ways,
including sidewalks, of the Village or the peace and quiet of the
inhabitants thereof, he shall issue such permit to the person or society
making application therefor.
[1983 Code]
A.
The fee for a parade or open-air meeting permit shall be $100. This
fee shall be paid after approval by the President and Board of Trustees
of the issuance of said permit. In the case of hardship or other good
cause shown the President and Board of Trustees may waive the permit
fee.
B.
There may also be filed at the time the applicant secures his parade
or open-air meeting permit, a bond in the sum of $1,000 to be executed
by two responsible citizens, one of whom shall be a resident of the
Village, indemnifying the Village for the additional costs and expenses
incurred in supplying additional police, fire and other Municipal
services for the parade or open-air meeting. In lieu of the individual
bond, a bond from an insurance company authorized to do business in
Illinois may be supplied. The applicant and surety shall agree to
pay the additional costs and expenses of the Village incurred by reason
of the issuance of the parade or open air meeting permit within 30
days of receipt of the itemization of expenses from the Village.
