A. It is the intent of the City Council, by the adoption of this Chapter, to impose on and collect from the person(s) in charge of or responsible for an event that generates extraordinary cost to the City over and above the cost of providing normal law enforcement services and police protection City-wide. The event for which charges are imposed are those voluntarily elected by the person(s) responsible for the services, or his or her parent, guardian or the person having custody of a minor. The purpose of this Chapter is to recover the actual cost to the City incurred by providing these police services. The City Council believes it is necessary that persons voluntarily incurring special and extraordinary police services pay to the City the reasonable cost of providing such services.
B. This ordinance is not intended to apply, and shall not apply, to events of a political or religious nature, or any event involving speech protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States or by the Constitution of the State of California.
