(M) Any additional information which the Town Administrator may find reasonably necessary to a fair determination as to whether a permit should be issued.
The Town Administrator shall issue a permit when, from a consideration of the application and from such other information as may otherwise be obtained, he or she finds that:
(A) The conduct of the parade will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other traffic contiguous to its route;
(B) The conduct of the parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of police officers of the town to properly police the line of movement and the areas contiguous thereto as to prevent normal police protection to the town;
(C) The conduct of such parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of ambulances as to prevent normal ambulance service to portions of the town other than that to be occupied by the proposed line of march and areas contiguous thereto;
(D) The concentration of persons, animals and vehicles at assembly points of the parade will not unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas contiguous to such assembly areas;
(E) The conduct of such parade will not interfere with the movement of firefighting equipment en route to a fire;
(F) The parade is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delays en route; and
(G) The parade is not to be held for the sole purpose of advertising any product, good or commercial venture, and is not designed to be held purely for private profit.
(A) The permittee shall be responsible for the cleanup of the streets and other used town property and equipment within 24 hours after the event. The Town Administrator or designee will then carefully inspect the used streets, property and equipment. If, in the opinion of the Town Administrator or designee, the streets or other areas or equipment have not been properly cleaned or if there has been any damage to town streets or property, the Town Administrator or designee will cause the organization or persons during whose use the damage occurred to be billed the necessary cost of cleaning or repairing town property. The person who makes the application for the parade permit on behalf of an organization may be held liable as principal in place of the organization. The penalty for damages to town property will be assessed at twice the costs of repairs. Such costs shall be determined by the town staff.
(B) The Town Administrator shall have the authority to require that the permit applicant pay a cleaning and repair bond before issuance of a permit. The amount of the bond shall be determined by the Town Administrator and set at an amount sufficient to cover the cost of cleaning or repairing town property damaged as a result of the parade, picket, march or demonstration.
(C) The Town Administrator shall have the authority to require that the permit applicant pay a public safety bond before issuance of a permit. The amount of the bond shall be determined by the Town Administrator and set at an amount sufficient to cover the cost of diverting to the parade, picket, march, or demonstration additional law enforcement, fire protection or other emergency services necessary for safe and orderly progression of the parade, picket, march or demonstration.
