§ 110.02 RAILROADS.
   (A)   Safe crossings. It shall be the duty of every railroad company doing business in or traveling through the municipality to keep in a suitable and safe condition the crossing and right-of-way in the municipality. If any such crossing shall at any time fall into disrepair and become unsafe or inconvenient for public travel, the governing body may, by resolution, call upon said company to make whatever repairs that it may deem necessary to correct the dangerous condition. Notice of said resolution shall be served upon the local agent of said company. In the event that the railroad shall fail or neglect to repair and correct said condition as aforesaid within 30 days, neglect for each 24 hours thereafter shall be deemed and is hereby made a separate and distinct offense against the provisions herein.
(Prior Code, § 10-801)
   (B)   Lighting. It shall be the duty of all railroad companies owning, operating and maintaining a railroad through the municipality to sufficiently light all crossings and to install as many signal systems as the governing body shall deem necessary at the expense of said company.
(Prior Code, § 10-802)
   (C)   Obstructing traffic. It shall be unlawful for any railroad company, its employees, agents or servants operating a railroad through the municipality to obstruct traffic on any public street, except in the event of an emergency, for a longer period, at one time, of more than five minutes.
(Prior Code, § 10-803)
   (D)   Warning. It shall be the duty of every railroad company, its agents or servants to ring a bell continually or to sound a whistle while crossing the streets within the corporate limits.

(Prior Code, § 10-804)
   (E)   Drainage. It shall be the duty of any railroad company owning, maintaining or operating a railroad within or through the corporate limits of the municipality to construct and keep in repair all ditches, drains and culverts along and under its railroad tracks at all places within the municipal corporate limits where the same may be necessary for the escape of water and the proper draining of the territory on either side of the railroad right-of-way. If the railroad company should fail or neglect to construct or repair the drain, ditch or culvert and to put the same in a proper condition for the escape of water, the governing body shall, by resolution, order the railroad to provide for the proper drainage of water on the right-of-way. A copy of the resolution shall be served to the local agent for the railroad, and failure or neglect by the railroad to correct the drainage within 14 days shall constitute a separate and distinct misdemeanor for each 24-hour period thereafter.
(Prior Code, § 10-805)

It shall be unlawful for any railroad company to obstruct or obscure the traveling public’s view by storing or parking any railroad car on a railroad track within 40 feet of the crossing of any such railroad track and a public road within the corporate limits of the municipality; provided, however, in no instance shall any person who is authorized to control the movement of such railroad car or cars within such distance be prevented from reasonably conducting his or her business.

      PUBLIC DANCE. Includes any dance, rock festival, masquerade or ball given or conducted for which a fee, contribution or collection for the purpose of admission is charged; provided, that this term shall not be construed to include dances, music festivals, masquerades or balls to which admission is limited strictly to persons expressly invited by the person, organization or society giving or holding such dance, masquerade or ball and which is not given or conducted designedly for profit or gain to such person, organization or society giving or conducting the same; and provided further, that the provisions herein shall not apply to any dance conducted under the supervision and direction of the governing body of any college or school district within the municipality.
(Prior Code, § 10-701)
   (B)   Supervision. Any village law enforcement officer(s) shall be permitted to enter any public dance for the purpose of inspection at any time. The governing body is hereby empowered to appoint or designate an Inspector to be present at any and all public dances conducted within the municipality. The Inspector shall take the oath required of a law enforcement officer and shall have all the powers and duties conferred upon regularly appointed law enforcement officers. It shall be the duty of said Inspector to enforce the provisions herein. Said Inspector may call upon any police officer or the person or persons conducting said dance for assistance in ejecting any person from the dance if that person is offending against the decent and peaceful proprieties of a social gathering. The Inspector so appointed shall be entitled to charge for his or her services at each dance and shall receive such fee as the governing body shall, by motion, designate. Said fee shall be paid by the person or persons conducting the public dance prior to the opening of said public dance. It shall be unlawful for any person or persons conducting a public dance to begin said dance until the Inspector is present, unless the governing body waives its right to make such an appointment. Said Inspector shall make a written report to the governing body concerning each dance attended. The governing body may, in its discretion, designate one or more additional peace officers to work with the Inspector during the hours of the public dance, and the compensation of any additional peace officer so appointed shall be equal to and paid in the same manner as the Inspector’s compensation.
