this chapter.
Upon filing such application with the Town Clerk, the applicant shall
pay to the Town Clerk a fee as set from time to time by resolution of the

than $100,000 for those events for which the applicant anticipates the event
to attract fewer than 1,000 people, and in a sum not less than $500,000 for
those events for which the applicant anticipates the event to attract more

to persons or property by reason of such exhibition or performance.
The Fire Chief, Police Chief or County Environmental Health Inspector
or their designees or other person or official designated by the Town Board
shall inspect the site of the exhibition or entertainment prior to and during
the entertainment, and in the event that these officials shall report a breach
of conditions or situation hazardous to the public health, safety or welfare
which the permittee shall refuse to correct, or in the event that they are
denied reasonable access for purposes of inspection, they shall immediately
report the same to the Supervisor of the Town, and the Town Board, upon the
recommendation of such Town official or his designee, may with cause revoke
such permit. Upon service of a copy of such written revocation upon the applicant,
conduct of the exhibition or public entertainment shall cease.
