A governmental agency acting within the scope of its function.
A person seeking issuance of a parade permit shall file an application with the Village Clerk on forms provided by such officer.
Filing. An application for a parade permit shall be filed with the Village Clerk not less than 15 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 approximate number of persons who, and animals and vehicles which, will constitute such parade, the type of animals and the description of the vehicles;

Any additional information which the Village Clerk shall find reasonably necessary to a fair determination as to whether a permit should be issued.
Late applications. The Village Clerk, where good cause is shown therefor, shall have the authority to consider any application hereunder which is filed less than 15 days before the date such parade is proposed to be conducted.
Fee. There shall be a fee charged for a parade permit. (See Village Fee Schedule.)
The Village Clerk, upon written approval of the Village Manager and Chief of Police, shall issue a permit as provided for hereunder when, from a consideration of the application and from such other information as may otherwise be obtained, he finds that:
The conduct of the parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of police officers of the Village to properly police the line of movement and the areas contiguous thereto as to prevent adequate police protection to the Village;
The conduct of such parade will not prevent or interfere with the operation of any public service within the Village which it may be necessary to provide during the period the parade is in progress;
The concentration of persons and vehicles at assembly points of the parade will not unduly interfere with proper police and fire service or ambulance service to areas contiguous to such assembly points;
The conduct of the parade is not reasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property, to provoke disorderly conduct, or to create a disturbance;
The parade is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delays en route; and
The parade is not to be held for the sole purpose of advertising any product or goods and is not designed to be held purely for private profit.
The Village Clerk shall act upon the application for a parade permit within three days after the filing thereof. If the application is not approved, the Village Clerk shall mail to the applicant, within five days after the date upon which the application was filed, a notice of the action, stating the reasons for the 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 10 days after notice. The Village Board shall act upon the appeal at its next meeting after the receipt of same or within a reasonable time thereafter.
The Village Clerk, in denying an application for a parade permit, with the written approval of the Village Manager and Chief of Police, 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. An applicant desiring to accept an alternative permit shall, within five days after notice of the action of the Village Clerk, file a written notice of acceptance with the Village Clerk. An alternate parade permit shall conform to the requirements of and shall have the effect of a parade permit under this chapter.

Interference. No person shall unreasonably hamper, obstruct or impede, or interfere with any parade or parade assembly, or with any person or vehicle participating or used in 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 a part of the route of a parade. Signs shall be posted 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 Village Clerk, with written approval of the Village Manager and the Chief of Police, shall have the authority to revoke a parade permit issued hereunder upon application of the standards of issuance as herein set forth.
