(A) In addition to any fee to be paid for a license hereunder, an applicant for a carnival license shall deposit the sum of $200 with the City Clerk at the time of filing an application for the license. This deposit shall ensure compliance with all applicable ordinances of the city and shall further ensure that the owner or operator of the carnival restore the public way and the grounds upon which the carnival was held to their original condition.
(B) At the close of any carnival, the Superintendent of Public Works shall inspect the grounds and public way upon which the carnival was held. In the event that the grounds and public way are free from debris, litter and restored to their original condition, the Superintendent shall direct the City Clerk in writing to refund the deposit heretofore posted. If the Superintendent of Public Works deems that the grounds or public way are not restored to their original condition, and upon refusal or failure of the depositor to make the required correction, the city may do the necessary work with the costs thereof being deducted from the deposit. The balance of the deposit, if any, shall be returned to the depositor or, if the costs of proper restoration exceed the deposit, then the depositor shall pay to the city the amount of the excess.
