(a) The City Manager shall issue a permit as provided for herein when, from a consideration of the application and from such other information as may otherwise be obtained, he finds that:
(1) The conduct of the parade, public assembly or special event will not substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of other pedestrian or vehicular traffic contiguous to its route or location;
(2) The conduct of the parade, public assembly or special event will not require the diversion of so great a number of City police officers to properly police the line of movement and the areas contiguous thereto as to prevent normal police protection of the City;
(3) The concentration of persons, animals, and vehicles at public assembly points of the parade, public assembly or special event will not unduly interfere with proper fire and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas contiguous to such public assembly areas;
(4) The conduct of the parade, public assembly or special event is not reasonably likely to cause injury to persons or property;
(5) The parade, public assembly or special event is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable delays en route;
(6) Adequate sanitation and other required health facilities are or will be made available in or adjacent to any parade, public assembly or special event areas;
(7) There are sufficient parking places near the site of the parade, public assembly or special event to accommodate the number of vehicles reasonably expected;
(8) The applicant has secured the police protection, if any, required under Section 904.05;
(9) Such parade, public assembly or special event is not for the primary purpose of advertising any product, goods or event that is primarily for private profit, and the parade itself is not primarily for profit. The prohibition against advertising any product, goods or event shall not apply to signs identifying organizations or sponsors furnishing or sponsoring exhibits or structures used in the parade, public assembly or special event;
(10) No parade, public assembly or special event permit application for the same date, time and location is already granted or has been received and will be granted;
(11) No event is scheduled elsewhere in the City where the police resources required for that event are, so great that the deployment of police services for the proposed parade, public assembly or special event would have an immediate and adverse effect upon the welfare and safety of persons and property.
(b) No permit shall be granted that allows for the erection or placement of any structure, whether permanent or temporary, on a City street, sidewalk, or right-of-way without the express consent and authorization of the City Manager or his/her designee.
(c) No permit shall be granted unless the applicant or the person seeking to conduct a parade, public assembly or special event and all persons, acting in concert with such applicant/person acknowledges and agrees that the City of Sidney is in no way responsible for such parade, public assembly or special event, and such applicant/person and all others in concert therewith shall indemnify and hold the City of Sidney, its employees, representatives and agents harmless from any and all damage or injury of any kind, nature or amount arising from the conduct of the parade, public assembly or special event.
