The Mayor and Council have determined that a number of special events
conducted in the Town of Federalsburg are conducted for the general benefit
of the public and some are conducted for the development of income by nonprofit
charitable organizations. It is further determined that it is in the best
interest of the public welfare and the orderly operation of such events to
require certain permits in order to proceed. In furtherance of these determinations
the following requirements and prohibitions with respect to such events are
established.

a permit and must apply to the Clerk-Treasurer for a permit to conduct same.
All applications shall specify the nature of the function or activity; the

Council before a permit permitting the function or activity may be granted.
No person shall engage in any of the special event activities without a permit.
No permit shall authorize any person, except the person or firm named therein,
to perform the function or activity sought to be carried on, and such permit
is nontransferable.

of $10. The Mayor and Council reserve the right to waive this fee for certain
approved civic organizations.
