Chapter 165 : Parades
This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Parade Ordinance of the Borough of Mount Oliver."
The Chief of the Borough of Mount Oliver.
The Council of the Borough of Mount Oliver.
Any parade, march, ceremony, show, exhibition, pageant, rally, or procession of any kind or any similar display in or upon any street, park or other public place in the Borough.
Any person, firm partnership association, corporation, company or organization of any kind.
Students going to and from school classes or participating in educational activities, provided that such conduct is under the immediate direction and supervision of the proper school authorities. This exception does not apply to parades organized by a school or any body thereof more than 24 hours prior to the occurrence.
Filing period. An application for a parade permit shall be filed with the Chief of Police not fewer than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the date on which it is proposed to conduct the parade.
If the parade is proposed to be conducted for, on behalf of, or by an organization, the name, address and telephone number of the headquarters of the organization and of the authorized and responsible heads of such organization.
The lime at which units of the parade will begin to assemble at any such assembly area or areas.
If the parade is designed to be held by and on behalf of or for any person other than the applicant, the applicant for such person permit shall file with the Chief of Police a communication in writing from the person proposing to hold the parade, authorizing the applicant to apply for the permit on his behalf.
Late applications. The Chief of Police, where good cause is shown therefor, shall have the authority to consider any application hereunder which is filed fewer than 30 days before the date such parade is proposed to be conducted.
The conduct of the parade will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of traffic within the Borough of Mount Oliver on and contiguous to the proposed route so as to create a real and present danger to the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Borough of Mount Oliver.
The conduct of the parade will not create a real and present danger to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Borough of Mount Oliver by preventing fire-fighting equipment, ambulances, rescue vehicles and/or police vehicles from being able to reach any property in the Borough of Mount Oliver.
The conduct of such parade wilt not require the diversion of so great a number of ambulances as to prevent normal ambulance service to portions of the Borough other than that to be occupied by the proposed line of march and areas contiguous thereto.
The conduct of the parade is not reasonable likely to cause injury to persons or property, to provoke disorderly conduct or to create a disturbance.
The Chief of Police shall act upon the application for a parade permit within 10 days after the filing thereof. If the Chief of Police disapproves the application, he shall mail to the applicant, by certified mail within 10 days after the day upon which the application was filed, a notice of his action stating with specificity the reasons for his denial of the permit. Said notice shall also advise the applicant of his or her right to file an appeal and shall also advise him or her of the procedure for filing an appeal by providing him or her with a copy of § 165-7, Appeals.
Any person aggrieved shall have the right to appeal the denial of a parade permit to Borough Council. The appeal shall be taken by sending a letter to the Borough Secretary requesting that Borough Council hear an appeal of the decision to deny a parade permit. This letter must be sent by certified mail or delivered to the Borough Office of the Borough of Mount Oliver at 150 Brownsville Road, Mount Oliver, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and must be received by the Borough Secretary within 10 days from the date on which the applicant received notice of the denial of the application for a parade permit. Borough Council must render a decision on said appeal, in writing, within 10 days of receipt of the appeal.
Where the Chief of Police, after applying the standards set forth in § 165-5 above, shall find that the application for issuance of a permit for a parade on the date, at the time and over the route requested by the application must be denied, he may, in addition to advising the applicant of the denial of the application, also issue an alternate permit which authorizes the conduct of the parade on a date, at a time or over a route different from that named by the application. The alternate permit shall be sent to the applicant by certified mail, together with the letter required by § 165-6 above. Whenever the Chief of Police shall issue an alternate permit, the letter sent to the applicant, in addition to conforming to the requirements of § 165-6 above, shall also advise the applicant that, if the applicant wishes to accept the alternate permit, the applicant must mail or deliver a letter to the Borough Secretary of the Borough of Mount Oliver at 150 Brownsville Road, Mt. Oliver, Pennsylvania, in which the applicant accepts the alternate permit and, further, advising the applicant that this letter must be received within 10 days after receipt by the applicant of the letter sent to the applicant pursuant to § 165-8 above. The applicant shall also be advised that, unless the applicant accepts the alternate permit within 10 days, the alternate permit will be void and of no effect. Finally, the applicant shall also be advised that the applicant may either accept the alternate permit or pursue an appeal of the denial of a parade permit for the date, time and route requested by the applicant by following the procedure set forth in § 165-6 above. An alternate parade permit issued pursuant to this section shall be issued pursuant to the standards set forth in § 165-6 above and, if accepted by the applicant in the manner provided above, shall have the effect of a parade permit under this chapter.
The portions of the streets to be traveled that may be occupied by the parade.
Such other information as the Chief of Police shall find necessary to enforcement of this chapter.
Driving through parade. No driver of a vehicle shall drive between the vehicles or persons comprising a parade when such vehicles or persons are in motion and are conspicuously designed as a parade.
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 apart 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.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be fined in an amount not exceeding $1,000 or be imprisoned for a period not exceeding 30 days, or be both so fined and imprisoned. Each day such a violation, is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall be punishable as such hereunder.
