(a) No person, group of persons or organization shall conduct or participate in any parade, assemblage, demonstration or procession, herein referred to collectively as "activity," other than a funeral procession, upon any public sidewalk, public parking area, street or highway, or block off any public sidewalk, public parking area, street or highway, without first obtaining a permit from the Mayor.
(b) Applications for such permits shall be made on forms prescribed by the Village and shall contain such information as is reasonably necessary to a fair determination of whether or not a permit should be issued. Applications shall be filed not less than five days before the time intended for such activity, procession or assemblage.
(c) The permit may be refused or canceled if:
(1) The time, place, size or conduct of the activity, including the assembly areas and route of march, would unreasonably interfere with the public convenience and safe use of the streets, sidewalks and highways.
(2) The activity would require the diversion of so great a number of police officers to properly police the line of movement, assembly area and areas contiguous thereto so as to deny normal police protection to the Village.
(3) The activity route of march or assembly area would unreasonably interfere with the movement of police vehicles, fire-fighting equipment or ambulance service to other areas of the Village.
(4) The activity would unreasonably interfere with another activity for which a permit has been issued.
(5) The information contained in the application is found to be false, misleading or incomplete in any material detail.
(6) An emergency, such as a fire or storm, would prevent the proper conduct of the activity.
(d) The permit or any order accompanying it may limit or prescribe reasonable conditions, including the hours, the places of assembly and of dispersal, the route of march or travel and the streets, sidewalks, highways or portions thereof which may be used or occupied.
