This chapter does not require a license for the giving of fairs, lectures, concerts, exhibitions or entertainments of a scientific, historical, political, literary or musical character for humane, religious, charitable or scientific purposes. No license shall be required for shows, exhibitions, carnivals or other amusements given on the grounds of the Barron County Fair Association during the annual fair of such association.
Application for a carnival license shall be made by the applicant to the Common Council, in writing, at least 10 days before the planned event, and all of the information regarding insurance, etc., shall be filed within 10 days and referred to the Council for examination of the qualifications, character and reputation of the applicant and into the desirability of permitting the carnival to operate, show or exhibit in the city.
No license shall be granted unless the applicant therefor shall have filed with the City Clerk-Treasurer a public liability insurance policy, in a sum as set by the Council from time to time, with the condition that the applicant shall indemnify and save harmless the city and its officers and agents and citizens against any injuries and damages resulting or arising from the conducting of any carnival for which the license is issued or from the performance by the applicant or his agents of any negligence incident to or connected with the conduct of such carnival and that the applicant shall pay all judgments, costs and charges that may be recovered against the city or any of its officers or agents by reason of the conduct of such carnival.
No license shall be issued unless the applicant shall pay a license fee for the operation or maintenance of the public entertainment as set forth in the fee schedule adopted as part of the annual budget document. All public entertainments listed in § 115-2 shall be exempt from any license fee if sponsored by a nonprofit organization.
Any license granted by the Common Council under the provisions of this chapter may be revoked by the Council if the person who maintains, owns, controls or operates such carnival shall permit the violation of any provisions of this Municipal Code or state laws or where, in the opinion of the Council, the carnival is deemed undesirable.
