No person shall engage in, form, start or aid in any parade,
march, demonstration, motorcade or show of any kind in or upon any
street, park or other public place unless a parade permit shall have
been first obtained from the Borough Administration, provided that
no permit shall be required for:
A. Funeral and wedding processions.
B. Activities of a governmental agency acting within the proper scope
of its function.
An application for a parade permit shall be filed with the Chief
of Police, Fire Department Chief, Director of EMS and Director of
Public Works on forms to be provided by the Borough.
Within 10 days of full submission, the Borough Administration
shall issue the permit upon receiving input from the Chief of Police,
Fire Department Chief, Director of EMS and Director of Public Works,
provided that the application has established that the parade:
A. Will proceed expeditiously and without unreasonable delays.
B. Will not substantially interrupt the orderly movement of traffic.
C. Will not reasonably require the diversion of so great a number of
policemen so as to prevent normal and proper police protection in
other areas.
D. Will not cause interference with the proper movement of fire apparatus,
ambulances and police vehicles.
E. Will not be reasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property
or to promote disorderly conduct or to cause a disturbance.
If the Borough Administration does not issue the permit, the
Borough Administration shall promptly notify the applicant, who shall
have the right to request a reconsideration by the Borough Council.
The Borough Council may direct the Borough Administration to issue
an alternative permit, authorizing the parade on a different date,
time or location, provided that such alternative permit, to be effective,
must be accepted within three days by the applicant.
The Borough Administration shall have authority to revoke a
parade permit or an alternative permit issued upon application of
the standards as heretofore set forth.
