(a) Permit Required. There shall be a per day fee for a Special Event Vending Permit per Section 1-3-1. The Village Board will determine whether an applicant party or organization qualifies for a Special Event Vending Permit to conduct specified activity related to a civic event, fair, festival or community promotion event on municipal property and public right- of-ways. The permit shall set forth the dates of the special event, its location parameters, and the location(s) where such business or vending will occur. Such permit shall be valid only during the dates and at the locations specified. In addition, the vendor shall have adequate liability insurance in force as required by this Section.
(b) Exclusive Vending Rights During Special Events.
(1) During a special event the Village Board may, and after public hearing, suspend specifically enumerated restrictions on transient merchants, direct sellers and/or mobile food establishments on any street, alley, sidewalk, public property, boat landing and/or public park or recreation area. Alternative rules and procedures may be established by the Village Board for the special event.
(2) To encourage the integrity, comprehensiveness and success of a special event taking place on any street, alley, sidewalk, public property, boat landing or public park or recreation area, the Village Board may, after public hearing, reserve up to fourteen (14) days during any vending year when some or all aspects of licensing and regulation of transient merchants, direct sellers, and/or mobile food establishments will be suspended in the perimeter of the special event. During any special event, the rules, guidelines and procedures as set forth in the resolution approved by the Village Board shall take precedence.
(3) For each such specific day during which certain or all vending permits have been declared to be suspended, the Village Board may by separate resolution and after public hearing, authorize the sponsor of a special event to select vendors, mobile food establishments, salespersons and vending sites for the duration of the special event within its perimeter. The event's sponsor shall contact the Village Board at least one (I) week before the public hearing with an outline of the rules, regulations, fees, areas affected and a proposed resolution for exclusive vending rights. The determinations of the Village Board as to any specific day during which a transient merchant, direct seller and/or mobile food establishment permit will not be suspended shall be by resolution adopted in advance of such specific day.
(4) No person holding a transient merchant, direct seller, solicitor, or mobile food establishment permit may sell or offer for sale any goods or foods during a Village-authorized special event unless authorized by the sponsor of the special event as specified above.
