KOSTER Wyckoff’s film fee ordinance has been adopted unanimously by the Wyckoff Township Committee. The ordinance establishes formal etiquette and a fee scale for filmmakers, with $1,500 a day for upscale commercial productions. The fee for the permit is $250, and the fee for filming is $500 a day in addition to the initial permit. However, the fee for a feature film or television series is $1,500. The permit for a non-profit filming -- a student or charitable production -- is $25, and no daily fee is required. Permits are required for filming, and must be applied for at least five days before shooting begins. The municipal clerk may waive the fee if neighbors of the film shooting do not need to be notified. The permit Film fee ordinance approved fee is contingent upon posting a cash bond for $2,000 and demonstrating that the film company has at least $1 million in insurance coverage. The film company is required to hire one or more off-duty police officers if the filming impacts on automobile traffic. The rest of the ordinance stipulates that filming outdoors be limited to hours from 7 a.m. until 9 p.m., and that the privacy of Wyckoff’s citizens be protected. The ordinance establishes a limit of six days to filming schedules, except in cases where major motion pictures may need to extend. Violators face a $2,000 fee for breaches of the terms of the permit, and a possible 90 days in jail for continued violations. J. KOSTER A firefighter surveys the damaged vehicle.
