Standards for issuance of a use permit by the Recreation Director or Borough Clerk include the following findings:
(1) 
The proposed activity or use of the park will not unreasonably interfere with or detract from the general public enjoyment of the park.
(2) 
The proposed activity and use will not unreasonably interfere or detract from the promotion of public health, welfare, safety and recreation.
(3) 
The proposed activity or uses that are reasonably anticipated will not include violence, crime or disorderly conduct.
(4) 
The proposed activity will not entail extraordinary or burdensome expense or policing by the Borough. The need for police presence will be determined by the Kinnelon Police Department. All costs incurred for policing of the proposed activity shall be paid by the permittee.
(5) 
The facilities desired have not been reserved for other use at the date and hour requested in the application.
B. 
For any denial of an application, the Recreation Director or Borough Clerk shall apprise an applicant of the denial and the reasons for refusal in writing.
A. 
A permit to do any act shall authorize the same only insofar as it may be performed in strict accordance with terms and conditions thereof. Any violation by its holder or his agents or employees of any terms or conditions thereof, shall constitute grounds for its revocation by the Borough.
B. 
A permittee shall be bound by all park rules and regulations and all applicable ordinances fully as though the same were inserted in the permits.
C. 
The person or persons to whom the permit is issued shall be liable for all loss, damage or injury sustained by any person whatever by reason of the negligence of the person or persons to whom the permit shall have been issued. The Recreation Director or Borough Clerk shall have the right to require any permittee to submit evidence of liability insurance covering injuries to members of the general public arising out of such permitted activities in such amounts as may be from time to time determined by the Recreation Director or Borough Clerk prior to the commencement of any activity for which a permit has been issued or issuance of any permit.
D. 
All permits that are granted must be produced upon demand of a police officer or other designated Borough official.
The Recreation Director or Borough Clerk shall have the absolute authority to revoke a permit upon finding of a violation of any rule, regulation or ordinance or upon good cause shown. In case of the revocation of any Borough permit, all monies paid for or on account thereof shall, at the option of the Borough, be forfeited to and be retained by it; and the holder of such permit, together with his agents and employees who violated such terms and conditions, shall be jointly and severally liable to the Borough for all damages and loss suffered by it in excess of the money so forfeited and retained; but neither such forfeiture and retention by the Borough of the whole or any part of such monies, nor the recovery or collection thereby of such damages, or both, shall in any manner relieve such person or persons from liability to punishment for any violation of any provision of any Borough regulation. These regulations shall be deemed a part of each permit issued.
