[HISTORY: Adopted by the Town Board of the
Town of Brighton as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted
where applicable.]
[Adopted 9-12-1979 by L.L. No. 4-1979]
It is the intent of the Town of Brighton as
an exercise of its police power to promote the general health, safety
and welfare of the residents of the Town by enacting this article,
since it is the finding of the Town Board that the consumption of
alcoholic beverages and/or the possession of open containers of alcoholic
beverages by persons on public premises, except under controlled conditions,
is detrimental to the health, safety and welfare of the residents
of the Town and contributes to the development of unsanitary conditions
and the creation of a nuisance.
[Amended 1-24-1996 by L.L. No. 1-1996]
No person shall consume, have, possess, carry
or transport any liquor, wine, beer or other alcoholic beverage in
an open bottle or other open container in or upon any public sidewalk,
street, land, highway, building or other public property without a
permit issued pursuant to the provisions of the Code of the Town of
Brighton.
A.
If any individual or organization desires to have,
distribute, or consume alcoholic beverages on public property in the
Town of Brighton, said individual or organization must apply in person
to the Town Clerk of the Town or his or her duly authorized representative
for a permit therefor at least three days prior to the date scheduled
for using such beverages. The fee shall be as set by resolution of
the Town Board and on file in the Clerk's office for the granting
of said permit.
[Amended 1-24-1996 by L.L. No. 1-1996; 6-26-2002 by L.L. No. 4-2002]

officer must agree, in writing, to assume full responsibility for
supervising the conduct of the group or individuals benefiting from
such permit and to properly clean up and restore the premises after
use to their prior condition.
(2)
Such individual or organization must further agree,
in writing, that adequate precautions shall be taken to ensure that
