It is unlawful for any person other than personnel of law enforcement or governmental agencies to install, use or operate a loudspeaker or amplifying device in a fixed or movable position or mounted upon any vehicle located on any street within the city without a permit so to do so from the Chief of Police or his or her designee. Such permit shall be issued unless the Chief of Police or designee determines that the physical placement or condition of the loudspeaker will result in a clear danger to public safety. In such determination, the Chief of Police or designee shall not consider the anticipated message that may be disseminated from the loudspeaker or amplifying device. If a permit is denied, specific grounds for such denial shall be provided to the applicant in writing.
