It shall be unlawful for any person or persons, partnership, corporation or organization to conduct, manage, sponsor or promote any carnival, circus, amusement park rides or similar activity without first obtaining a license from the city. Application shall be made to the City Clerk and shall contain all information and documents which the governing body may deem necessary to determine whether to grant or reject said application. Each applicant shall also be required to post a security bond in an amount set by resolution of the governing body, or give sufficient proof that said applicant is currently covered by an equal amount of liability insurance, to adequately protect the interests of the city and its citizens. Upon the determination that it would be proper to grant such application, the governing body shall immediately direct the City Clerk to issue the said license to the applicant upon the payment of the appropriate fee. Any license so granted shall be subject to revocation by the governing body for good cause after proper notice has been served and the licensee has been allowed a hearing. In no event shall this section be applicable to governmental entities.
