A person or organization desiring to hold any concert, race, walkathon, fair, carnival, festival, celebration, show, or other similar event in or upon any public grounds or private property, park, beach or road of the Borough, must first apply for and obtain a permit from the Borough Clerk in accordance with the requirements of subparagraph a of this section. Any such concert, race, walkathon, fair, carnival, festival, celebration, show or other similar event, which is likely to require the expenditure of Borough resources in the form of Department of Public Safety and/or Department of Public Works salaries, wages or other expense, shall constitute a “Special Event.” To obtain a permit for a special event, the applicant shall also satisfy the requirements of subparagraph b of this section.
In order to further define a “special event” the following shall be inclusive:
Closing of a public street, the blocking or restriction of public property, the sale of merchandise, food, or beverages on public property outside the central business district, or on private property where otherwise prohibited by ordinance. The installation of a stage, bandshell, trailer, van, portable building, grandstand or bleachers on public property, or on private property where otherwise prohibited by ordinance. Placement of portable toilets on public property, or on private property where otherwise prohibited by ordinance, or placement of temporary No Parking signs on a public right-of-way.
The Special Events Committee shall present to the Borough Council their recommendations during their regularly scheduled meeting. In the event that any Council Member voices concern that the event to be held requires additional investigation, he/she may direct that the application be referred back to the Special Events Committee and the Special Events Citizens Advisory Committee. The Council shall make the final determination, by Resolution adopted by majority vote, whether to issue a Permit for a Special Event, and shall set forth in the Resolution such conditions and restrictions as may be reasonably necessary to insure that the standards set forth are satisfied.
