Requested Waiver for Permit for St Roch’s Feast Procession Determined Unnecessary

“As far as the application for the procession, I personally can’t remember when we didn’t have some kind of permit issued. It’s a street event. I don’t have anything to do with the Greenwich Sidewalk Sales, but we issue a permit for the Sidewalk Sales.”

– Joe Siciliano, Director Greenwich Parks & Rec

He said the process for a special event permit was to come to Parks & Rec and the fill out an application and create a routing slip that goes to the related town departments whose approval is required including the Building Dept, GEMS and the Police Department, so they can weigh in or sign off.

“It’s more of an organizational thing versus territorial and who has control of the streets versus who doesn’t,” he said.

“Thank you for clarifying that,” Camillo said. “I should have known that.”

“I don’t know why this took up time on our Board of Selectmen agenda,” Rabin said. “It was probably a question and answer that could have happened separately. To do anything, it’s a special permit process facilitated by Parks & Recreation. It’s simple.”
