A. The city council may grant a permit to a group of citizens or an organization to allow the public consumption of beer in any city parks and/or public parking lots.
B. Before any such permit shall be granted, application shall be made to the chief of police at least two (2) weeks prior to the date of the city council meeting which next precedes the proposed date of the event for which the permit is sought.
C. No permit shall be issued for a group of fewer than ten (10) persons. For groups between ten (10) and twenty (20) persons, a fifty dollar ($50.00) deposit shall be required. For groups over twenty (20) persons, a one hundred dollar ($100.00) deposit shall be required.
The deposit shall be held by the city to ensure that the park grounds and/or public parking lots are left free of refuse. The grounds or lots must be cleaned of all litter or refuse from the event by ten o'clock (10:00) A.M. of the day following the event, and after the grounds have been checked by a city police officer and determined to have been properly maintained, the deposit shall be refunded in full. If the grounds or lots have not been properly maintained, the deposit money shall be used to offset the cost of necessary cleanup.
D. In no event shall any beer in glass containers be brought into the parks and/or public parking lots, nor shall any alcoholic beverage other than beer be brought into the parks and/or public parking lots.
E. Violation of any city ordinances regarding excessive noise, disturbance of the peace or disorderly conduct during the event shall be grounds for the immediate revocation of such permit.
F. Permits shall be valid from ten o'clock (10:00) A.M, until ten o'clock (10:00) P.M. on the day of the event only. (Ord. 335, 7-19-1982; amd. Ord. 353, 9-19-1983)
