Late applications. The Chief of Police, where good cause is shown therefor, shall have the authority to consider any application hereunder which is filed less than 10 days before the date such parade is proposed to be conducted.

The parade is not designed to be held purely for private profit.
The Chief of Police shall act upon the application for a parade permit within five days after the filing thereof. If the Chief of Police disapproves the application, he shall mail to the applicant, within five days after the day upon which the application was filed, a notice of his action, stating the reasons for his denial of the permit.
Any person aggrieved shall have the right to appeal the denial of a parade permit to the Village Board. The appeal shall be taken within five days after notice. The Village Board shall act upon the appeal within 14 days after its receipt; late applications rejected under § 125-3C may be appealed as soon as the Village Board convenes.
The Chief of Police, in denying an application for a parade permit, shall be empowered to authorize the conduct of the parade on a date, at a time or over a route different from that named by the applicant.

Parking on parade route. The Chief of Police shall have the authority, when reasonably necessary, to prohibit or restrict the parking of vehicles along a highway or part thereof constituting a part of a route of a parade. The Chief of Police shall post signs to such effect, and it shall be unlawful for any person to park or leave unattended any vehicle in violation thereof. No person shall be liable for parking on a street unposted in violation of this chapter.
The Chief of Police shall have the authority to revoke a parade permit issued hereunder upon a violation of the standards for issuance as herein set forth.
