(a) The city manager shall issue a permit as provided for under this division when, from a consideration of the application and from such other information as may otherwise be obtained, he finds that:
(1) The conduct of the parade will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other traffic contiguous to its route.
(2) The conduct of the parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of police officers of the city to properly police the line of movement and contiguous areas as to prevent normal police protection to the city.
(3) The conduct of such parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of ambulances as to prevent normal ambulance service to portions of the city other than that to be occupied by the proposed line of march and contiguous areas.
(4) The concentration of persons, animals and vehicles at assembly points of the parade will not unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection of or ambulance service to areas contiguous to such assembly areas.
(5) The conduct of such parade will not interfere with the movement of firefighting equipment en route to a fire.
(6) The conduct of the parade is not reasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property, to provoke disorderly conduct, or to create a disturbance.
(7) The parade is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delays en route.
(8) The parade is not to be held for the sole purpose of advertising any product, goods or event, and is not designed to be held purely for private profit.
(b) Where in the sound discretion of the city manager it is deemed necessary by reason of the nature of the parade and the number of persons, vehicles or animals involved, there is a reasonable likelihood of damage to a person or property, accumulations of waste or debris on the streets and unusual demands on police, fire or other city services, the city manager shall estimate the cost to the city by virtue of such parade activities; and the applicant shall post a security deposit for payment to the city of actual costs of cleaning the streets, providing necessary police, fire and other protective services and such estimated costs as may arise from parade activities. Any sum not expended shall be returned to the applicant. In addition, the applicant shall file with the city a policy of liability and property damage insurance indemnifying the city against any liability to persons or property, including property owned by the city, arising out of the parade.
