Prior to receiving a permit and, in any event,
no later than 60 days prior to the scheduled date of the mass gathering,
the operator shall furnish to the Board of Selectmen a certificate
of insurance issued by an insurance company licensed in the State
of Maine providing liability coverage in the amount of at least $200,000
with respect to the injury or death of one or more persons in connection
with the mass gathering. Such insurance policy shall also provide
coverage for property damage in the amount of at least $50,000. The
insurance policy in question shall contain a provision requiring that
at least 10 days' notice be given to the Board of Selectmen prior
to cancellation.
The operator of the mass gathering shall provide
a cash deposit to the Town, which amount shall be determined by the
Board of Selectmen, and will be deposited in an interest-bearing account.
The purpose of the account shall be to allow the Town to pay costs
related to protecting the public health and safety. Any interest earned
and any remaining balance in this account shall be returned to the
applicant following completion of the mass gathering, and cleanup
by the applicant of the area used for this mass gathering, compliance
by the applicant with any applicable state or local law or regulation,
and payment by the applicant of all proper claims against the applicant
for damage to real or personal property in the municipality for which
the permit is issued and arising out of facts done or omitted to be
done by the applicant, his agents or employees. A permit shall not
be issued until receipt of said deposit.
