As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
Any planned extraordinary occurrence on the public right-of-way or
public premises, including, but not limited to, parades, processions, bicycle
or foot races, festivals or celebrations; any event occurring on public property
in which alcoholic beverages are to be served which require the issuance of
a temporary Class "B" retailer's permit.
A.
Permit required. No person may hold a special event on
the public right-of-way or public premises without obtaining a special event
permit. Applications for permits and copies of this chapter are available
from the Village Administrator. All applications must be submitted 30 business
days prior to the event. Any special event in which alcoholic beverages are
to be sold will require a special event permit. Annual events must obtain
a permit each year the event is planned.
B.
Approval procedure. Completed applications shall be filed
with the Village Administrator. The Village Administrator shall forward copies
of the application to the Police Chief and Director of Public Works/Utilities.
The Police Chief shall review the application, determine if on-site police
personnel will be required, including labor cost thereof, and make recommendations
for approval, denial or modification based upon expected number of participants,
sale of alcoholic beverages, traffic and parking issues. The Director of Public
Works/Utilities shall review the application, determine any additional services
or equipment necessary, including any costs thereof, and make recommendations
for approval, denial or modification. The determinations and recommendations
shall be forwarded to the Village Administrator for his/her approval, denial
or modification. The permit fee shall not include reimbursement for fixed
administrative costs incurred by the Village (i.e., salaried employees, insurance,
etc.).
C.
Appeal of permit denials. Any applicant who has been
denied a special event permit or has had an application modified may, upon
written request to the Village Administrator, have the denial reviewed by
the Village Board Administrative Committee. The Administrative Committee may
affirm, reverse or modify the initial action on the application. Such determination
by the Administrative Committee shall constitute final action.
A.
Route/Location. All permit applications for special events
shall include a detailed map of the proposed route for parades, races or processions
and the location for festivals or celebrations. Routes/Locations for annual
events must be submitted each year the event is planned. Recommendations for

or Director of Public Works/Utilities and may be altered by the Village Administrator.

Fee; refunds. The applicant for the special event permit
shall pay the permit fee within five days of the permit approval. The permit

Department for additional labor and/or equipment during the event. Refunds
due to overestimation of additional Village or police costs will be made within
five working days after the event; no interest will be paid on refunded amounts.
Refunds of permit fees may be obtained upon written request if the event is
canceled. The applicant for the special event permit shall not be responsible
for additional fees if actual costs for additional labor and/or equipment
exceed the permit fee.

shall furnish the Village Administrator with a certificate of insurance written
by a company licensed in the State of Wisconsin, approved by the Village Administrator,
and covering any and all liability or obligations which may result from the
