Re: Discussion of Use of Village Property by Outside Agency for Police/Fire Training
The purpose of the attached draft ordinance language, regarding the use of Village
property by any outside agency for police and/or fire training, is to ensure the welfare
and safety of Village residents and limit the liability of the Village. The draft language
provides requirements for any outside agency wishing to utilize available property
within the Village for police and/or fire training, similar to the requirements for special
event permits. A separate ordinance is required because such training events would
not fall under the definition of special event permit (i.e., (h)Definition. For purposes of
this section, a "special event"is any outdoor activity, gathering or group of persons, vehicles
or both, organized and having a common purpose, upon public or private property, which is
likely to inhibit the usual flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic, which is likely to creates noise
in excess of that typically associated with the areas upon which the event is to occur, or which
is likely to preempt or restrict use of property typically accessible by the general public.
Examples of special events include, but are not limited to block parties, parades, races or
walks, grand opening events, charity fundraisers, and other similar events not specifically
permitted by the village's zoning ordinance).
