A. The mayor shall issue a permit as provided hereunder 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 the areas contiguous thereto as to prevent normal police protection to the city; (1997 Code § 10-405)
3. The conduct of such parade will not require the diversion of so great a number of emergency vehicles as to prevent normal emergency service to portions of the city other than that to be occupied by the proposed line of march and areas contiguous thereto;
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 emergency service to, areas contiguous to such assembly areas; (1997 Code § 10-405; amd. 2014 Code)
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 create a disturbance; and
7. The parade is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delays en route.
B. The mayor, in such cases as shall be determined in his discretion, may require, as a condition to the issuance of a permit herein, such insurance or bond holding the city harmless from any and all liability for injury or damage of any kind whatsoever occurring during such activity covered by the permit. (1997 Code § 10-405)
