It shall be unlawful for any person to erect, construct, maintain, place or leave any structure, fence, post or other object upon any public way or to obstruct traffic on any public way without a permit first obtained from the city clerk or his designee.
The city clerk, or his designee, may issue permits for the temporary closure of streets and other public ways upon application for such permit. Such permit shall be granted when:
A. The proposed use of the public way will not unreasonably interfere with the public's right to use the public way;
B. The proposed use of the public way is not anticipated to incite violence, crime or disorderly conduct;
C. The proposed activity will not cause the city of Deming to incur unusual expenses;
D. The public way is suitable for the proposed activity;
E. The permit applicant shows evidence of valid and current liability insurance coverage for the proposed use of the public way in an amount of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) with the city of Deming named as an additional insured; and
F. The applicant has paid a permit fee of twenty five dollars ($25.00).
The city clerk or his designee may condition the issuance of a permit on the payment of a reasonable deposit to assure the cleanup of the public way after its use by the applicant.
The city clerk or his designee may revoke a permit upon good cause being shown, including, without limitation, the applicant's use of false information to obtain a permit.
Appeal from the denial or revocation of a permit shall be made to the city council and shall be in writing, filed with the city clerk within five (5) days of the denial or revocation. (Ord. 1051, 11-14-2001)
