The City Administrator shall, forthwith, refer all applications for parades to the Chief of Public Safety for his or her consideration. If any state trunk highways are in the route, the Chief of Public Safety shall make all necessary arrangements with the state’s Highway Department for alternate routes or whatever may be necessary. If the Chief of Public Safety finds that a parade will not cause a hazard to persons or property, and will cause no great inconvenience to the public, and if he or she is able to make arrangements for necessary direction and control of traffic, he or she shall endorse his or her acceptance and return the application to the City Administrator, who shall then issue the permit. If the Chief of Public Safety finds the parade described in the application to be a hazard, a substantial inconvenience or, if he or she is unable to make adequate arrangements for direction or control of traffic, he or she shall return the same to the City Administrator with his or her reasons for denial, and the permit shall not be granted unless all conditions and objections of the Chief of Public Safety are met or removed by the applicant.
