As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
FILMING
The recording on film, videotape, digital or other medium
of motion pictures, commercials, television, documentaries, shows,
performances, athletic or sports events or other similar events or
activities, excluding still photography. As used herein, "filming"
shall include the use of public or private property for persons, equipment,
vehicles, props, cameras and any other items or materials used in
connection with such filming. The filming of home movies or videos
intended for the exclusive use of the owner and his/her immediate
family and any filming for a governmental/municipal access broadcast
or in connection with a news broadcast are exempt from this chapter
and are not included within the definition of "filming."
VILLAGE
The Incorporated Village of East Rockaway.
No person, firm, association or corporation shall commence filming
within the Village unless a permit therefor has been issued by the
Village Clerk.
An applicant for a permit under this chapter shall pay an appropriate
fee as determined by the Board of Trustees, but not to exceed $5,000.
Such fee shall be paid in cash or check three days prior to the issuance
of the permit. This fee, however, may be waived in connection with
filming done for a charitable, educational, public service, or other
similar nonprofit purpose. Proof of such purpose, in a form satisfactory
to the Board of Trustees, must be submitted for a waiver of the permit
fee to be considered.
The applicant shall pay the actual cost for the incidental use
for Village personnel, services or equipment in connection with filming.
No permit shall be issued, until the applicant has filed with
the Village Clerk a certificate or policy of general liability insurance,
including personal injury liability, in an amount not less than $2,000,000
bodily injury and property damage combined single limit per occurrence
and naming the Village as an additional insured, thereby providing
a defense for and indemnify the Village from and against any claim,
loss or damage resulting from the filming for which the permit is
issued.
