(A) Within ten days after the receipt of the application, the County Manager and the Health Director shall review the application and inspect the proposed site for the mass gathering. If it reasonably appears that the requirements of this chapter can be met by the applicant, a provisional permit shall be issued.
(B) If the County Manager shall deem it necessary to protect the health, welfare, and safety of those persons in attendance at mass gatherings and of other persons who may be affected by mass gatherings and to carry out the provisions of this chapter, he or she may require the permittee within five days after issuance of the provisional permit to file with the County Manager a performance bond or other surety to be executed to the county in the amount of $5,000. The bond, if required, shall be conditioned on full compliance with this chapter and shall be forfeitable upon noncompliance and a showing by the County Manager of any injury, damage, or other loss to the state or local governmental agencies caused by the noncompliance. The permittee shall in addition file satisfactory evidence of public liability and property damage insurance in an amount determined by the County Manager to be reasonable (but not to exceed $1,000,000 in amount) in relation to the risks/hazards involved in the proposed mass gathering.
