('64 Code, § 25-25) (Ord. passed 6-10-63)
The Chief of Police shall issue a permit as provided for by this subchapter when, from a consideration of the application and from any other information as may otherwise be obtained, he determines that the parade will not substantially interrupt the flow of traffic; will not require the diversion of an undue or burdensome number of police officers or fire, rescue, or health units; the concentration of persons, animals, and vehicles will not unduly interfere with fire and police protection, ambulance or rescue service, or place any dangerous burden upon any portion of the route to be traveled; is not reasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property, to provoke disorderly conduct or create a disturbance; and the parade is scheduled to move expeditiously and without unreasonable delay over the designated route.

The City Council shall act upon the appeal within 15 days after receipt of notice thereof, and shall be empowered to fix a time and place for public or executive hearing thereon.
(C) It shall be the responsibility of an applicant for a permit to call at the office of the Chief of Police or the City Manager to determine whether or not the application has been rejected or granted and any further notices contemplated herein shall be given either to the City Manager or to the applicant, at the address indicated in the application, as may be appropriate.

Any permit issued pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter shall indicate the starting time, the route, speed, space intervals, or any other information which the Chief of Police shall find necessary to the enforcement of this subchapter. The permit shall be in the possession of the parade chairperson or other person heading or leading the parade, and the terms and conditions of the permit shall be observed. Failure to meet these requirements entitles the Chief of Police to revoke the permit, and he shall likewise be entitled to revoke the permit in the event that the allowed parade should provoke demonstration, congestion, undue noise, or threaten to bring about a public disturbance or breach of the peace.
