No carnival shall be set up, run, operated or conducted within the limits of the city unless a written permit from the corporate authorities has been issued, setting forth the conditions under which such carnival shall be operated. The permit shall be granted upon the condition that there shall not be set up or operated any gambling device, lottery, number or paddle wheel, number board, punch board, or other game of chance, or any lewd, lascivious or indecent show or attraction making an indecent exposure of the person or suggesting lewdness or immorality.
In addition, each permit shall have attached thereto a copy of this chapter, and a copy of the city's amusement tax ordinance (chapter 12 of this title), and no permit shall be issued until the applicant has affirmatively demonstrated that the carnival and its personnel will comply with the provisions of this chapter and all other pertinent laws and regulations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no permit shall be required for an inflatable bounce house or similar air supported, inflatable amusement device. (Ord. 2755, 11-19-2012)
