Permits shall be issued under this chapter by the Director of Community Services when and only when he finds:
A. That the proposed activity or use of the park will not unreasonably interfere with or detract from the general public enjoyment of the park;
B. That the proposed activity and use will not unreasonably interfere with or detract from the promotion of public health, welfare, safety and recreation;
C. That the proposed activity or use is not one which usually draws crowds in excess of the capacity of the park or area involved as such capacity has been established by a resolution of the Council;
D. That the proposed activity will not entail unusual, extraordinary or burdensome expense or police operation by the City;
E. That the facilities desired have not been reserved for other use at the day and hour required in the application;
F. That the applicant has obtained a statement from the Chief of Police, or his designated agent, showing either that no police attendance at the event is necessary or the number of police officers he deems necessary to attend the event for the peace and safety of those attending and that the applicant has arranged for such designated number of police officers to be provided at the expense of the applicant. In the determination of the necessary number of police officers, or whether any are necessary, the Chief of Police shall give consideration to the size and age of the group estimated to be in attendance, the nature of the activity or event, the site selected, the potential for conflict with other events, and the experience of police departments locally and nationally with similar events.
The Chief of Police shall require none at all or not more than one police officer for each one hundred fifty persons he reasonably anticipates will attend any event at which any musical instrument is played by a person then present and the volume of the sound therefrom is increased by any electrical device;
G. That an adult determined by the Chief to be a person of good moral character has signed the application and thereby promised to use his best efforts to encourage obedience to all laws during the conduct of the event;
H. That no amplification or other equipment will be brought into the park except upon approval in writing by the Director at the time the permit is issued and that such approved equipment will enter the park and be used at places therein designated by him;
I. That for any event at which the Chief of Police estimates the attendance will exceed three hundred persons, a cash deposit or bond in the amount of one thousand dollars has been deposited with the City Treasurer from which the City may draw to pay all of its costs to restore any public property damages during, or from, such event.
