At any time the City Manager is unable to perform the duties of that office, whether because of absence or disability, he or she may delegate such authority to another City employee, subject to prior approval by Council.
In the event the City Manager position is deemed vacant without any such authority having been previously delegated as described in the preceding sentence, a majority of the members of Council may appoint an Acting City Manager at any time during which the City Manager position remains vacant, for any reason.
(Ord. 4654. Passed 10-27-93; Ord. 5210. Passed 10-26-16.)
All departments, offices and agencies under the supervision of the City Manager shall be administered by an officer appointed by and subject to the direction of the City Manager.

(a) Requests for the use of City facilities and thoroughfares must be made, in writing, to the City Manager's office.
(1) Requests for a parade or procession must give the City written notice of the character, time, place and route of such parade or procession and the names of the event officers.
(2) Facility use requests shall describe the nature of the event, the date of the event, a description of the City services needed and any other information the City Manager deems appropriate. All requests shall be presented to the City Manager's office in a timely fashion so as to allow the City to coordinate services and schedule staff.
(b) To ensure public safety and a smooth flow of traffic, the City hereby establishes an official parade route. All parades shall follow this route, unless otherwise shortened by the City Manager upon the request of the event sponsor. The official parade route shall be as follows:
(1) All parades shall start at the corner of Johns Street and Main Street near the Point Stadium.
(2) The parade shall then proceed up the length of Main Street.
(3) At the corner of Main Street and Bedford Street, the parade shall turn right onto Bedford Street and proceed out Bedford Street.
(4) From Bedford Street, the parade shall then turn onto Levergood Street and disband on Vine Street.
If circumstances require, and the event sponsor wishes to disband near Central Park, the parade shall follow the route described above, but it shall turn left onto Franklin Street and left again onto Locust Street. The parade shall then disband near Central Park.
(c) The City shall deliver as many of the requested services on City time as feasible. Should any services or event require the City to incur costs it would not normally have incurred, the event sponsor will be asked to reimburse the City. A fee for the use of City facilities, streets, and parades shall be established by ordinance of City Council and amended from time to time.
(d) Event sponsors will be asked to complete an indemnity agreement to protect the City in the event of an accident. This agreement may also include an insurance requirement.
(e) The City Manager shall have the authority to determine whether or not a particular event shall be required to comply with the requirements of this section. A particular event may be deemed to be of special significance, where the City will absorb some of the incurred costs. The City Manager has the right to waive the insurance requirement; however, the event sponsors shall be informed that by waiving this requirement they will have no protection in the event of an accident.
(f) Certain events have become "City-sponsored" activities due to their impact on local tourism, size, scope and local importance and the prominence such events bring to the City. The City Manager shall have the authority to reduce or waive the requirements described in this section for events meeting the criteria of this subsection.
