A. As a follow-up to the security-related information that is included in a permit application pursuant to Section 7-2-5, the City Clerk may require the applicant to submit a comprehensive security plan to detail how order will be preserved and property protected in and around the location where the event is to be conducted. The security plan shall be based on the size, location, duration, time and date of the event; the expected service and consumption, if any, of alcoholic beverages; the number of streets and intersections blocked; and the need to detour or preempt vehicular or pedestrian travel and use of public rights-of-way.
B. Except as otherwise provided in, or determined pursuant to, Subsection D., a required security plan must first be approved by SPPD and shall include the number and character of security personnel SPPD determines necessary for the special event. The decision whether or not to approve a security plan under this Section shall be based on the considerations set forth in Subsection A.
C. In the case of a security plan under this Section that includes the use of police officers of SPPD:
1. Funds to engage the specified number of police officers, at an appropriate hourly rate for police officers, shall be deposited with SPPD at least ten (10) days prior to the date of an event. The total necessary funds shall be calculated by the SPPD Chief or his designee and calculation and the basis thereof (“SPPD's decision") shall be conveyed in writing to the applicant.
a. Within five (5) days of being notified of SPPD's decision, the applicant must respond in writing whether it agrees to pay the deposit; or, alternatively, file a request for review of SPPD's decision with the City Clerk as provided in Subsection D. herein.
2. Police officers engaged under this Subsection C. shall be under the complete direction and control of SPPD.
D. An applicant may file a request for review concerning a decision by SPPD under this Section in order to propose alternative security measures. The review will be conducted by the City Manager in consultation with the SPFD Chief. Alternative security measures may be approved and implemented if the City Manager determines that such measures will provide equivalent or acceptable security for the event. (Ord. 2020-6, 9-1-2020)
