(A) The City Council may, from time to time, approve the private use of streets, parks, public buildings and other public areas for the exclusive use of private persons. But in no case shall this be of an unreasonable or continuous nature such as to deprive the normal use of these properties by the residents of the city. Such approvals shall be similar to, but not limited to, the use of parks by private sports teams, the use of city buildings for organizations of a social or fraternal nature, the use of city buildings for private weddings and parties and other such uses which the Council deems to be compatible with the public uses of those facilities.
(B) Any person or firm wishing to use such public facilities shall apply to the City Administrator/Clerk/Treasurer for such permission and appear before the Council. The Council shall withhold its approval until the applicant has guaranteed to be responsible for any and all damages resulting from the private use and to conform with any other reasonable requirements which the Council feels is necessary for the protection of the property, the users and the general public.
(C) The Council may establish user fees and impose any necessary cleaning, maintenance or security requirements it deems reasonable. The applicant shall not be given approval until any required deposits are made with the City Administrator/Clerk/Treasurer.
