412.06 PARADES AND ASSEMBLAGES.
   (a)   No person, group of persons or organization shall conduct or participate in any parade, procession or assemblage upon any street or highway, or block off any street or highway area, without first obtaining a permit.
   (b)   Applications for such permits shall be made on such forms as may be prescribed and shall contain such information as is reasonably necessary to a fair determination of whether a permit should be issued. Applications shall be filed not less than five days before the time intended for such parade, procession or assemblage.
   (c)   The permit may be refused or canceled if:
      (1)   The time, place, size or conduct of the parade including the assembly areas and route of march would unreasonably interfere with the public convenience and safe use of the streets and highways.
      (2)   The parade would require the diversion of so great a number of police officers to properly police the line of movement, assembly area and areas contiguous thereto so as to deny normal police protection to the Municipality.
      (3)   The parade route of march or assembly areas would unreasonably interfere with the movement of police vehicles, fire-fighting equipment or ambulance service to other areas of the Municipality.
      (4)   The parade would unreasonably interfere with another parade for which a permit has been issued.
      (5)   The information contained in the application is found to be false, misleading or incomplete in any material detail.
      (6)   An emergency such as a fire or storm would prevent the proper conduct of the parade.
   (d)   The permit or any order accompanying it may limit or prescribe reasonable conditions, including the hours, the places of assembly and of dispersal, the route of march or travel and the streets, highways or portions thereof which may be used or occupied. (Ord. 79-10. Passed 12-4-79.)
   (e)   The Mayor is hereby authorized and ordered to examine each application made for a parade permit, and from the information contained in such application and from any other relevant information, said Mayor shall determine the cost the Village will incur as a direct result of said parade.
   (f)   If the Mayor determines that the Village will incur expenses to clean up the affected area after the parade or for police protection or other matters arising out of or connected with such parade, he or she may require the applicant to post cash or such other security as he or she deems reasonable to defray the same.
   (g)   If the applicant believes that the requirements made by the Mayor are unreasonable or in error, said applicant may ask for a hearing which shall be before a committee of two members of Council, selected by Council, at which hearing any person may present relevant evidence. Said hearing shall be held within one week of the receipt of notice of the request for the same which shall be served on the Clerk of the Village by personally delivering the same to the Clerk at the Clerk's office located in the Municipal Building or by mailing the same to the Clerk at 215 West Street, Caldwell, Ohio 43724, by certified mail.
