Under a municipal ordinance passed in , parades must pick up percent of the police and public works costs incurred by the city. Last year, she said the permits for the parades were issued at the last minute. Permits were issued on Friday when the parade was scheduled to march through Paterson on Sunday.

She said she met with Lopez and another member of the parade organization in May to avoid an eleventh-hour situation like last year. Lopez met with mayor Andre Sayegh and public safety director Jerry Speziale last month. He said the mayor offered to let his organization pay in installments. Instead, the parade route for the July 28 event will be limited to Clifton and Passaic, said Mario Lopez, head of the group that holds the event.

The parade bypassed Paterson only one other time in the past 33 years, he said. The group would have to pay that balance plus half the projected costs for in order to get the requisite parade permit, officials said. The issue of fees for the various ethnic parades in Paterson has been a topic of controversy since , when city officials struggling with a budget crisis unsuccessfully attempted to charge the organizers of the various events the full cost of police and public works coverage.

The parade traditionally has started in the city of Passaic and gone north on Main Street through Clifton and to downtown Paterson, where there has been a festival afterward. This year, Lopez said, the parade will start at Crooks Avenue, just beyond the Paterson border, and head south through Clifton and Passaic, with the festival taking place in Pulaski Park in Passaic.
