(a) Each person, desiring to conduct, stage, or give a circus, menagerie, carnival, sideshow, musical or minstrel entertainment, or exhibition of any nature, for which money or reward is demanded or received, shall first obtain a license and pay the license fee or fees provided herein.
(Ord. 97-65. Passed 11-17-97.)
(b) The applicant for a license to conduct, stage, or give such exhibition shall give at least one week's notice in writing to the Mayor, stating the dates of the performances and the location at which they are to be presented. The Mayor or the Administrative Director shall give his consent to the issuance of such license if he deems that the location is suitable for the purpose; that it will properly accommodate the patrons; that the nature of the performance or exhibition is morally proper; and that the use of the location will not throw too great a burden on the Police and Fire Departments.
(c) No circus, menagerie, or carnival shall be given for more than two consecutive days, except in cases where Council, by special resolution, shall allow a longer period, or where such exhibition is to be conducted on municipal property and the use thereof for a longer period shall have been approved by Council.
(1980 Code 111.01)
At the time application for a license is made, where use of municipal grounds is contemplated, the applicant shall deposit with the Finance Director a cash bond of five hundred dollars ($500.00), conditioned on the restoration and cleaning up of the grounds in a manner satisfactory to the Mayor or the Administrative Director. In the event the grounds are restored and cleaned up properly following the exhibition, the deposit shall be returned; otherwise the same shall be used to pay the cost of cleaning and restoration and the balance only returned.
(Ord. 97-65. Passed 11-17-97.)
