As used in this Chapter
205, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
BOROUGH PROPERTY
Includes all municipal buildings, parks, pools, beaches,
athletic fields and complexes, streets and other rights-of-way, parking
lots, and any other property owned, leased or controlled by the Borough.
EVENT ORGANIZER
Any person or organization that conducts, manages, promotes,
organizes, aids or solicits attendance at a commercial or noncommercial
special event.
EXTRAORDINARY SERVICES
Reasonable and necessary services provided by the Borough
which specifically result from the special event. Extraordinary services
result in measureable financial costs which are beyond the normal
levels of public health and safety services on a non-event day. Extraordinary
services will normally be those services requiring Borough employees
to be specifically assigned to tasks in support of the special event
and/or those services resulting in overtime pay or similar costs which
result from the event. Examples of extraordinary services may include
but are not limited to police protection, traffic control, park services,
and other services necessary to ensure the protection of participants
and citizens, the proper functioning of Borough services, and the
proper administration of this policy. The Borough will make reasonable
efforts to minimize the requirement for overtime pay or other costs
for extraordinary services where sufficient advanced notice of the
event is provided.
NOT-FOR-PROFIT CORPORATION
A federal tax exempt, nonprofit corporation incorporated
in New Jersey. A New Jersey corporation which can demonstrate proof
of pending federal tax exempt status shall also be deemed a nonprofit
corporation for the purposes of this chapter.
SPECIAL EVENT
A.
A temporary gathering of people on public or private property
not sponsored or cosponsored by the Borough and involving at least
one of the circumstances listed below:
(1)
The closing of public streets or public rights-of-way which
increase traffic congestion and create parking problems;
(2)
Installation or construction of temporary structures;
(3)
Requires extraordinary services by any Borough department;
(4)
Hours of the event extend beyond those otherwise adopted in
Borough ordinances.
B.
The Borough Manager or his/her designee shall have the authority
to determine whether an event meets the definition of "special event."
Examples of special events include but are not limited to outdoor
activities, such as running/jogging/walking events, bicycle races
and other forms of competition and athletic events, street fairs,
carnivals, festivals and any other gathering meeting the above criteria.
Demonstrations, rallies, protests, or vigils are not considered a
special event.
The Borough Manager or the Mayor and Council may cancel a special
event without prior notice for any significant change in conditions
which would or may adversely affect the public health or safety of
the community, or for any condition that would place Borough facilities,
grounds, or other resources at risk of damage or destruction.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to the penalty as stated in Chapter
1, General Provisions, Article
III, General Penalty Provisions, of this Code, or other state codes.
