(A) The applicant shall pay to the town a fee sufficient to reimburse the town for the costs of any extraordinary services, equipment, or personnel provided unless the services to be provided by the town at the event have been budgeted by the Town Council as an expense of the town.
(B) For police coverage, an applicant may choose to hire off-duty uniformed officers at a negotiated rate between the event and the officers. Any such officers shall be certified as North Carolina law enforcement officers and hold a certification with a North Carolina law enforcement agency.
(C) For events where the anticipated number of people is in excess of 500 people and where extraordinary services or equipment will be required and the Town Council has not budgeted for such expenses, the applicant shall pay to the town the estimated cost of such extraordinary services at least 30 days prior to the start of the event. In lieu of making this payment, the applicant may post a bond or other sufficient security to guarantee compliance with this section, including the payment of the fees described in division (A) above and the cleaning up of the event site to return it to the condition that existed prior to the event. If the required bond or deposit is not promptly paid, the Town Manager, Chief of Police, or designee may cancel the permit for the event.
