A. Decision by Village Council. The final determination on the issuance of any permit for film production lasting for more than five (5) days shall be made by the Village Council. Upon completing his review of all such applications, the Village Manager shall submit a report to the Village Council, summarizing the factual circumstances surrounding the proposed film production and identifying all Village resources that will be used or affected by the film production activities. The Village Manager’s report may also contain recommendations regarding issuance of the permit, conditions to be incorporated into the permit if it is issued, and the estimated film production activities charges.

The referral shall be accompanied by the same type of report as is required for applications subject to final decision by the Village Council under subsection A of this section.
C. Final Permit Decisions. The decision of the Village Manager or, where applicable, the Village Council on the issuance or denial of a film production permit shall be final.
