A. The Bonners Ferry city council finds that special events which take place in the city of Bonners Ferry which are offered to the general public or a substantial segment of the public have the potential to attract large gatherings of people which may cause adverse public health and safety conditions requiring municipal involvement and regulation to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety.
B. It is the intent of the Bonners Ferry city council that this chapter be enacted to protect and promote the health, welfare, and safety of citizens and visitors to the city of Bonners Ferry and to regulate special events for the benefit and protection of the public health and safety. Special event applicants, promoters, and sponsors whose special events require the use of extraordinary city resources as a result of anticipated attendance, heightened security concerns, or other logistical situations should pay for those extraordinary resources in order to alleviate the cost to the public taxpayer.
