(a) No person, group of persons or organization shall conduct or participate in any special event upon any street or highway or right-of-way, without first obtaining a permit from the City Manager.
Applications for such permits shall be made on such forms as may be prescribed and shall
contain such information as is reasonably necessary consistent with this chapter to a fair determination of whether a permit should be issued. Applications shall be filed not less than thirty days before the time intended for such parade or procession. An application fee of $100.00 shall be due and payable to the city at such time as an application for a permit is filed with the City. The permit may be refused or canceled if:
(1) The time, place, size or conduct of the special event including the assembly areas and route of march would unreasonably interfere with the public convenience and safe use of the streets and highways.
(2) The special event would require the diversion of so great a number of police officers to properly police the line of movement, assembly area and areas contiguous thereto so as to deny normal police protection to the Municipality.
(3) The special event route of march or assembly areas would unreasonably interfere with the movement of police vehicles, fire-fighting equipment or ambulance service to other areas of the Municipality.
(4) The special event would unreasonably interfere with another event for which a permit has been issued.
(5) The information contained in the application is found to be false, misleading or incomplete in any material detail. An emergency such as a fire or storm would prevent the proper conduct of the event.
The permit or any order or memorandum accompanying it may limit or prescribe reasonable conditions, including the hours, the places of assembly and of dispersal, the route of march or travel and the streets, highways or portions thereof which may be used or occupied.
(b) Whoever violates any provision of this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the first degree. (Ord. 2006-45. Passed 4-19-06.)
