(A) The Chief of Police shall issue or deny a parade permit within 14 days after an application is filed after consideration of the information contained in the application and determining:
(1) Whether or not the parade will substantially interfere with the delivery of emergency services in the community and the safe and orderly movement of vehicular or pedestrian traffic;
(2) Whether or not the parade will unreasonably interfere with the peace and quiet in the community or cause or create a public nuisance.
(3) Whether or not the parade is likely to cause injury to persons or property, will provoke disorderly conduct or create an unreasonable disturbance;
(4) Whether or not the parade is held substantially for the purpose of advertising any product, cause, goods or events and is not designed to be held purely for private profit.
(B) Prior to the final issuance of any permit, each permit applicant and parade sponsor shall execute an agreement, on forms prepared by the town attorney, to indemnify and hold the town and its agents, servants or employees harmless for any and all injuries, damages, claims; costs, or attorney fees that may arise from any property damage, injury or any other claims resulting from, caused or contributed to by the parade or its participants.
(C) The Chief of Police is authorized to impose all reasonable restrictions or conditions on any parade permit that he deems necessary to preserve the public peace and safety.
(D) The Chief of Police is authorized, where good cause is shown, to consider any application filed less than 14 days before the date of the parade.
