Any person found in, on or about such premises during the hours herein set forth, unless such person is actually engaged at such time in official business for the city, the county, the state or the United States, shall be deemed to have violated this section. The prohibition herein contained shall not extend to any public meeting, exercise or exhibition held upon any such municipal properties which shall extend beyond 11:00 p.m., unless the person attending such public meeting, exercise or exhibition shall have been allowed a reasonable time in which to leave the premises. Nothing contained in this section shall interfere with the closing hours of any city department or division thereof and the use of its own facilities in the public interest, but this section is designed to prevent persons from entering or loitering upon municipally owned real estate referred to herein during the prohibited hours when such entering or loitering is not connected with official business.
