If the venue is in the county, check with the county offices on it. I am unfamiliar with their set up in your state. I know those who want to do something in our city limits have to contact City Hall and the County offices, if in the county, for permits or licenses. I am not familiar with fire regulations in your state, so ask at the City Hall or County Offices about it as well. If they don't know, they should be able to direct you to the office you can inquire. Most city and county governments have a website showing codes and ordinances on it to allow you to see what can and cannot be done. You might want to go online to see if your area has one of those and get familiar with the codes and laws pertaining to this. Ed, that term of the cops having discretion on it sounds horrible. That means they can shut you down for no reason. I will say that there are some cops who go overboard with their authority just to bust someone's chops, which is wrong. Sorry to hear you encountered such a cop. They give us a black eye in this business when they overstep their bounds. Complaints made against an officer should be investigated and they should contact you back to let you know their decision with it. When a person wants to file a complaint against an officer here, I tell them to go to the main headquarters and file a written complaint. That way, it is a matter of record. I cannot speak for other agencies, but that is how we do it here. Glenn [/quote] [HTML is Off] [BBcode is On] Options: Disable BBcode on this Post Disable Smilies on this Post
