A person seeking a parade/public assembly permit shall obtain an application form and file a completed application with the parks and recreation department on forms provided.
An completed application for a permit shall be filed with the parks and recreation department as soon as the applicant knows sufficient information to complete an application and at least three (3) business days before the event, and not more than one (1) year before a parade or public assembly is proposed to commence. The time frame set forth herein may be waived in the discretion of the mayor or parks and recreation director for good cause and upon a finding that such waiver would not compromise the ability of the city to prepare for the activity for which the permit is requested.
Good cause may be shown when the parade or public assembly is related to an unanticipated or recently announced or occurring event and the application for permit or public assembly cannot be processed in compliance with the provisions of this chapter in sufficient time to allow the parade or public assembly to proceed as scheduled without causing fiscal or operational hardship to the city's operating departments.
