(A) No person shall conduct a special event unless the sponsor of the event obtains a special event permit from the city.
(B) Where the sponsor of the event is not the owner of the property where the outdoor special event will be held, the property owner must provide to the sponsor proper written authorization to hold an event.
(C) Once authorization is obtained, the owner of the property must inform the sponsor in writing regarding this subchapter and the city’s requirements for special event permits for outdoor special events.
(D) If proper written notice is not provided by the property owner to the sponsor of the outdoor special event, the sponsor of the event and the property owner will be jointly and severely liable to the city to pay any and all expenses incurred by the city relating to the special event and any application fees, interest, penalties or fines that would have been owed to the city if proper written notice were provided.
(E) The failure of the property owner, if the property owner is not the sponsor of the event, to provide written notice of the requirements of this subchapter to the sponsor of the event does not relieve the sponsor’s duty to comply with this subchapter, nor of their joint and several liability to pay any damages incurred by the city relating to the special outdoor event or of any application fees, interest, penalties or fines.
(F) A property owner, if the property owner is not the sponsor of the event, shall require in all of its agreements or permits with the sponsor of the event a provision that will obligate the sponsor to comply with the regulations set forth in this subchapter.
