(A) The Mayor and Board of Trustees may, on occasion, choose to sponsor, co-sponsor or make portions of the Village Hall available for public forums, events or activities which will normally be concluded within one day, but under no circumstances will extend beyond two consecutive days. Only public forums, events or activities which conform with all of the following requirements may be considered for use of the Village Hall. The forum, event or activity must:
(1) Be open to all citizens of the village;
(2) Be sponsored or put on by a local not-for-profit group or organization based within the village;
(3) Not be a religious assembly for purposes of prayer or worship; except that, wedding ceremonies shall be permitted; and
(4) Not be a partisan political rally, assembly or meeting.
(B) The permitted meeting uses of Village Hall shall have a priority over public forums, events and activities in terms of scheduling the use of Village Hall space. Applications for the use of the Village Hall to conduct a public forum, event or activity shall be delivered to the Village Manager with all required information no later than 30 days prior to the scheduled event. The Village Manager may schedule such uses of the Village Hall, which will, at the Manager’s discretion, be least disruptive to the normal operations of the Village Hall and the most convenient to the members of the public in terms of attending the public event. Groups sponsoring or putting on such public events within the village shall comply with all applicable village ordinances, regulations and requirements.
