The purpose of this chapter is to establish permitting provisions
for outdoor community events within the Town of Poughkeepsie, such
as block parties, car shows, flea markets, parades, or farmers' markets,
and to authorize the Town Board of the Town of Poughkeepsie to approve
the issuance of a permit therefor.
The authority for such provisions is set forth in the Municipal
Home Rule Law of the State of New York, specifically Municipal Home
Rule Law § 10(1)(ii)(a)(12).
No permit shall be issued until the applicant has provided proof
of insurance or a surety bond in favor of the Town of Poughkeepsie
insuring the Town against any claim for liability, in form and amount
acceptable to the Town Attorney.
All signs associated with the community event shall comply with §
210-120 of the Town Code, "Temporary signs."
