2. Complete the cover page, indicating who you are, what you want to do, when you want to do it, and where you will be doing it. If it is a race or walk, a map is required.

3. Obtain signatures from:

the Police Department (ask for Lt. MacVicar — if a police detail is necessary the rate is $45.00 an hour with 4 and 8 hour minimums plus 11% Town fees.);

the Fire Department (to determine whether EMTs will be needed);

the Finance Department (usually events are sponsored by non-profits that have to provide an Insurance Liability Certificate — in this case, each participant will need to sign in and acknowledge a Hold Harmless Agreement with the Town);

the Health Department (to let them know if food will be served, and so they can decided if portable toilets are necessary);

the Building Department (checking to see if any tents or structures are to be erected);

the Department of Public Works (to arrange for any closing or partial blocking of public ways);

and finally back to Town Administration for the final consent (there is also a $20 fee for the application, which was kindly waived in this instance).
