(a) Fees. The permit application fee, daily fee and other additional fees for use of city streets or other city- owned or controlled property will be established by resolution of the city council. Other than the application fee, which is nonrefundable and shall be paid when the application is submitted to the city, the total amount of the fees due for the entire permit period shall be paid to the city at least three business days prior to the date when the permit becomes effective.
(b) Service Charge. In addition to application fees, daily fees and any other fees, a permittee shall reimburse the city for the reasonable cost of related city services (including, but not limited, to traffic control, fire safety, clean-up, and trash hauling). If city property is destroyed or damaged by reason of permittee’s use, event or activity, the permittee shall reimburse the city for the actual replacement or repair cost of the destroyed or damaged property.
(1) The final invoice and billing for such reimbursements will be sent within ten business days after the expiration date of the permit.
(2) At least three business days prior to the date any permit is to become effective, the applicant shall pay to the city a cash deposit in an amount sufficient to cover the total city departmental charges which the authorized city official estimates will be incurred in connection with the permit.
(c) Refund. If a permittee is unable to hold or conduct a parade or assembly because of inclement weather or some other cause not within the permittee’s control, the permittee may submit a written request for refund of such fees provided such request is within ten calendar days after the date the parade or assembly was to have taken place. The authorized city official may authorize a refund of the fees or a pro rata portion thereof, except the nonrefundable application fee, which have been paid by the permittee to the city.
(d) Restrictions. All fees and service charges will relate to the size of the parade or assembly and its impact on normal traffic. They will not be based on the content of the message expressed, the size of the crowd or the crowd’s reaction to the message.
