(A) Required permits. Some film productions may include activities that require the issuance of one or more permits by the city, as outlined in the city fee schedule.
(B) Off-duty city personnel. Some film productions may require the use of off-duty city police or fire personnel. Such personnel may be hired directly by the production company at an hourly rate of $30 per hour for four hour minimum periods of time.
(C) Use of city services or facilities. Production companies that wish to use city services or facilities will be charged the same fee as other for-profit ventures for the service or facility used. Production companies that wish to use city services for which a fee has not been established will be charged at the discretion of the city on the basis of time, equipment, and materials. The city reserves the right to deny requests for use of city services or facilities.
(D) Deposit required. Prior to the granting of any film permits, the city will require production companies to assure their financial responsibility through a $5,000 cash deposit. Upon completion of filming, the deposit will be returned after the production company has paid all outstanding bills owed to the city.
