   A.   The director shall waive the requirement to obtain a park use permit when the activity includes only the exercise of free speech rights without the use of amplified sound, is organized on short notice in response to a recent event occurring within the sixty (60) days prior to the date of the activity, and the applicant certifies in writing that preparing the application and waiting the full period for the permit to be issued would deprive the applicant or sponsoring organization the opportunity for holding an assembly in response to such recent event.
