(A) Applicants shall submit permit applications at least two working days prior to the dates on which such persons desire to conduct an activity for which a permit is required by this chapter. If it appears that such activity may interfere with traffic or involve potential public safety hazards, the City Manager or his or her designee may require that the permit be submitted at least four working days in advance.
(B) The permittee shall be required to conduct operations in an orderly fashion with continuous attention to the storage of equipment not in use and the cleanup of trash and debris. The area used shall be cleaned of trash and debris upon completion of filming at the scene and restored to the original condition before the permittee leaves the site.
(C) An applicant must obtain the property owner's permission, consent, and/or lease for use of property not owned or controlled by city prior to the issuance of the filming permit under this chapter. The City Manager or his or her designee shall require proof of such permission prior to the issuance of a permit.
(D) If the applicant must park equipment, trucks, and/or cars in areas where such parking is not safely permitted, then temporary "no parking" signs must be posted by the Department of Public Works. The permittee must consult with the Department of Public Works in advance of the filming date to coordinate the placement of such signs.
(E) For filming that affects traffic flow, the permittee shall use local law enforcement personnel to provide such traffic control and comply with all traffic control requirements deemed necessary by the Police Department.
(F) As a condition of approval of the permit, the permittee shall agree to reimburse the city for the costs of personnel and/or equipment utilized for the purpose of assisting the production. The City Manager, as a condition to the issuance of the permit, shall require a cash deposit for such costs.
(G) Before a permit is issued under this chapter, a certificate of insurance must be on file with the City Manager in an amount not less than $1,000,000 and naming the city as a co-insured providing protection against claims for personal injuries, wrongful death, and property damage. The certificate or policies of insurance shall provide they are not subject to cancellation or modification until after 30 days prior written notice has been given to the city. A copy of the policy of insurance must remain on file with the city at all times relevant to the permit.
(H) As a condition of the issuance of the permit, the applicant shall execute a hold harmless agreement prior to the issuance of the permit under this chapter.
(I) To insure clean up and restoration of the filming site, the City Manager may require an applicant to post a refundable faithful performance bond or cash deposit, in an amount determined by the City Manager, at the time the permit is issued. Upon completion of filming and inspection of the site by city personnel, the bond or deposit shall be returned to the applicant if the clean up and restoration is complete and satisfactory.
