[Adopted 6-2-1998 by L.L. No. 3-1998 (Ch. 98, Art. II, of the 1992 Code)]
The Village Board of the Village of Woodridge finds that there is a substantial use of the Village park located on Greenfield Road by large groups from area summer camps and bungalow colonies located outside of the Village of Woodridge. As a result of the significant use of the park by these summer camps and bungalow colonies, the Village Board has determined there are significant additional costs and expenses in operating and maintaining the Village park, including maintaining the roadways and parking areas for use by commercial buses necessary to transport these groups from the summer camps and bungalow colonies using the park; additional maintenance to pick up and remove litter and debris left by the large groups; and repair and replacement of park facilities as a result of the wear and tear from the significant use of the facilities by these groups. While it is the desire of the Village Board to continue to maintain and operate the Village park for use by the general public, the Village Board of Trustees believes it to be unfair and inequitable that the entire cost and expense of operating and maintaining the park should be borne by Village residents when a significant amount of the use of the park is by area summer camps and bungalow colonies located outside of the Village limits. In order to equitably distribute the cost of operation and maintenance at the park, the Village Board of Trustees believes that the issuance of permits for a fee to area bungalow colonies and summer camps located outside of the Village of Woodridge that use the Village park is a fair and equitable manner to pay for the cost of operation and maintenance of the park.
The use of the Village park by groups of more than 25 in number from summer camps or bungalow colonies located outside of the Village of Woodridge is prohibited without first obtaining a permit for a fee to be determined annually by the Village Board.
Each permit shall be valid for use of the park by the permit holder for the entire year in which the permit is issued.
A violation of this article shall constitute an offense punishable by a fine not to exceed $250 for each and every such offense.
