(A) No person, group of persons or organization shall conduct or participate in any parade, procession or assemblage upon any street or highway, or block off any street or highway area, without first obtaining a permit from the Village Manager.
(B) Applications for such permits shall be made on such forms as may be prescribed 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 parade, procession or assemblage.
(C) The permit may be refused or cancelled if:
(1) The time, place, size or conduct of the parade including the assembly areas and route of march would unreasonably interfere with the public convenience and safe use of the streets and highways;
(2) The parade 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 parade route of march or assembly areas would unreasonably interfere with the movement of police vehicles, fire-fighting equipment or ambulance service to other areas of the village;
(4) The parade would unreasonably interfere with another parade 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; and
(6) An emergency such as a fire or storm would prevent the proper conduct of the parade.
(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, highways, or portions thereof which may be used or occupied.
(E) The Village Manager is authorized to adopt rules and regulations relating to the issuance of permits not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this chapter and consistent with the requirements of all applicable law.
(F) Violation of this chapter shall be a minor misdemeanor.
(G) That this chapter shall take effect from and after the earliest period allowed by law.
