(A) In addition to any fee to be paid for a permit hereunder, an applicant for a film permit shall deposit a security deposit as specified in § 123.079 with the City Clerk at the time of filing an application for the permit. This deposit shall ensure compliance with all applicable ordinances of the city and shall further ensure that the applicants receiving a film permit restore the grounds upon which the filming activities were held to their original condition.
(B) At the close of any filming activities, the Superintendent of Public Works shall inspect the grounds and public way upon which the filming activities took place. 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 permit holder 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.
