Each application for a parade or demonstration permit shall be signed and sworn to by at least one person, who shall be the person named in the application as the one who shall be in charge of such parade or demonstration and who shall be responsible for the conduct thereof and for compliance with all applicable provisions of law, this code and other ordinances by participants in such parade or demonstration.
(Prior Code, § 315.05)
Upon the filing of a completed and properly signed and sworn application for a parade or demonstration permit, the City Recorder shall transmit copies thereof promptly to all members of Council. Council, at its next meeting, shall consider such application and take action thereon. If Council considers that such parade or demonstration would not be detrimental to the good government or the peace, safety, health or welfare of the city or the inhabitants thereof, and would not constitute a threat to the maintenance of law and order or cause unacceptable traffic conditions within the city, the permit applied for shall be granted. If, however, Council, in the exercise of sound discretion and in view of circumstances then existing, considers that the holding of such parade or demonstration would be detrimental to the good government or the peace, safety, health or welfare of the city or the inhabitants thereof, or would constitute a threat to the maintenance of law and order or would cause unacceptable traffic conditions within the city, the permit shall be denied.
(Prior Code, § 315.06)
(A) In granting a permit pursuant to this subchapter, Council may include therein such prohibitions, conditions, restrictions and limitations as it may consider appropriate, under the general police powers of the city, to safeguard the good government and the peace, safety, health and welfare of the city and the inhabitants thereof, as well as to maintain law and order and acceptable traffic conditions within the city, and no person covered by the permit shall violate or fail to comply with any such prohibition, condition, restriction or limitation.
(B) The provisions of this subchapter shall be deemed to be a part of each parade or demonstration permit, whether or not so stated in the permit.
(Prior Code, § 315.07) Penalty, see § 93.99
Prior to the granting of a permit pursuant to this subchapter and as a condition precedent for the granting of such permit, Council may require that the person named in the application as the one to be responsible for the conduct of the parade or demonstration shall give bond to the city, in such amount and with such surety as Council may consider necessary, conditioned upon the full satisfaction of all judgements and decrees which may result by reason of any negligent or unlawful act or omission of any person participating in such parade or demonstration and included within the permit; with the further condition that he or she will save the city harmless from all claims and demands whatever which may arise by reason of such parade or demonstration; and with the further condition that he or she will pay the city for all extra expenses incurred for clearing the streets, sidewalks and public places of litter and waste matter resulting from such parade or demonstration and for the cleaning and repair of public property which may be soiled or damaged by acts of vandalism during the period of organizing and holding the parade or demonstration, and within six hours thereafter, when such acts of vandalism are reasonably attributable to the holding of such parade or demonstration.
