(A) Cleanup of premises. Each permit holder shall be required to clean up all litter outside of the dance premises, including all adjoining public sidewalks, streets, and alleys and adjoining private property, within seven hours after each dance held by the permit holder ends, but under no circumstances later than 8:00 a.m.
(B) Dances, litter cleanup, litter cleanup deposit.
1. Unless a deposit or statement of liability is made by the owner of the property and the facility owner has signed a waiver form accepting responsibility described in subsection (B)2. of this section, each permit holder shall be required to deposit with the city a litter cleanup deposit as security for the performance by the permit holder of his or her obligations under subsection (A) of this section. If the permit holder fails to perform those obligations, the city can use the security deposit, or any portion of it, to reimburse the city for the city’s costs in performing those cleanup tasks. If the permit holder has an annual or quarterly permit, the permit holder shall, immediately upon demand, pay to the city a sum equal to the portion of the security deposit expended by the city as provided in this section so as to maintain the security deposit in the sum initially deposited with the city. For any other permit holder who is not in default or in violation of any requirement under this section, the city shall return the security deposit to such permit holder upon expiration of the permit. The city’s obligations with respect to the security deposit are those of a debtor and not a trustee. The city can commingle the security deposit with the city’s general or other funds. The city shall not be required to pay the permit holder interest on the security deposit.
2. Every owner of a premises who regularly rents or licenses the premises to others for a fee so that such renters or licensees can hold public dances therein shall be required to deposit with the city a litter cleanup deposit or provide the city with a signed statement of liability stating the facility owner assumes liability as security for the performance by all permit holders using such premises of their obligations under subsection (A) of this section. If a statement of liability is used, and the facility owner fails to meet his or her obligations under subsection (A) of this section, the facility owner will be billed to reimburse the city for the cost of the cleanup, and the facility owner will be required to pay the litter cleanup deposit in the future. This obligation is placed upon the premises’ owner because in most instances the dance permits issued for such premises are for only one day or evening.
3. The amounts of the security deposits required by this section shall be fixed and established from time to time by resolution of the City Council.
