A transient or temporary public entertainment is one to which the public
may gain admission by payment of an admission charge. It includes shows, circuses,
exhibitions, carnivals and vaudeville.
Application for a carnival licenses shall be made by the applicant to
the Town Clerk 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 Town Board for examination of the qualifications, character
and reputation of the applicant and of the desirability of permitting the
carnival to operate, show or exhibit in the Town.
Such license when issued shall be prominently displayed while the carnival
is in operation.
Any license granted by the Town Board under the provisions of this chapter
may be revoked by the Town Chairperson or Town law enforcement officer, provided
that such carnival shall not be maintained if the person who maintains, owns,
controls or operates such carnival shall permit the violation of any provisions
of this Code or state laws or where, in the opinion of the Town Chairperson,
the carnival is deemed undesirable. Revocations or suspensions may be appealed
to the Town Board.
