(D) (1) Procedures to be observed by those organizing private outdoor or temporarily sheltered gatherings:
(a) Prior to holding any such event on village premises or private property, if the organizing persons could reasonably conclude that such activity might be disruptive to immediate neighbors or other village residents, either due to sound volume or because of the traffic such an event may generate, such persons shall notify the Police Department and the Mayor of their intent to hold such an event.

(c) Organizers will be encouraged to terminate such events at a reasonable hour, "reasonable" generally being no later than 9:00 p.m.
(d) All judgments of what is "disruptive" will be based on what a reasonable person might find to be so, and if in dispute the decision as to what is "reasonable" will be determined by the village or other officials responding to the complaint.
(e) If complaints are received about noise or traffic at an organized event, and the Mayor and/or law enforcement personnel determine the level of sound or the amount of traffic generated by the event exceed what a reasonable person would find to be disruptive, then warnings will be issued to attendees at the disrupting event by competent village or other competent officials and event organizers will be asked to take effective steps to alleviate the offending condition, whether excessive noise or traffic.
(f) If the offending conditions at the organized event persist, law enforcement officials will be requested by village officials to take appropriate actions to eliminate them under established statutes.
