(A) To defray the burden such events put on the village infrastructure, a surcharge per ticket shall be collected and paid over to the village’s General Fund for each ticket sold and shall be due 60 days after the conclusion of the event. The amount of the surcharge shall be set by the Village Board.
(B) (1) The surcharge amount to be paid to the village’s General Fund must be accompanied by supporting documents to confirm the amount of tickets sold and the amount of overall attendance. The Village Board reserves the right to conduct an independent audit of the amount of tickets sold and overall attendance.
(2) If the independent audit reveals that the Village Board is entitled to a larger amount than what the organizer submitted to the Village Board, the village shall be entitled to the difference between the amount that was submitted by the organizer and the amount revealed by the independent audit, plus the cost of the independent audit, and may unilaterally terminate any future mass gatherings previously applied for by the applicant and approved by the village.
