A. Any person or persons desiring to use the Community Hall shall, at least forty-eight hours prior to the time of the proposed use, file with the City Manager a written application showing the nature of the intended use, the names of the applicants, and their residences.

B. In the event any one or more of the applicants is a nonresident of the City, or in the event it is proposed that nonresidents of the City attend during the proposed use, the City Manager shall collect from applicants such fee as is hereafter fixed by City Council resolution before issuing any such permit. (Ord. 82-5 § 20, 1982; Ord. 80-3 § 1, 1980; Ord. 76-3 § 1, 1976; Ord. 128 NS § 2, 1963; prior code §§ 8-2, 8-3.)

In the event it appears from the application that an admission charge will be made for attending during the proposed use, an additional fee as hereafter fixed by City Council resolution shall be collected by the City Manager from the applicants before issuing any permit, in addition to the fee, if any there be mentioned in Section 2.44.020 above.

The City Manager shall issue no such permit unless he finds and determines that the intended use will neither tend to disturb the public quiet and peace of the neighbors, cause damage to the property of the City, nor otherwise be inimical to the public health, safety and welfare. The findings of the City Manager on such questions shall be conclusive. (Ord. 80-3 § 1, 1980; Ord. 76-3 § 1, 1976; Ord. 128 NS § 4, 1963; prior code § 8-5.)

It is unlawful for any permittee, its invitees or guests to make any use of the Community Hall after twelve midnight on any day of the week except Sunday, on which day all use of said building shall terminate at nine p.m. and, furthermore, any use of the Community Hall on Sunday shall be limited to religious or educational meetings. (Ord. 128 NS § 5, 1963; prior code § 8-6.)

The consumption of any alcoholic beverages by the permittee, its invitees, or guests in the Community Hall is expressly prohibited to insure preservation of the property and the interest of the public, unless the City Manager previously approves such consumption, in which event the consumption of wine or beer only shall be permitted. (Ord. 87-2 § 1, 1987; Ord. 80-3 § 1, 1980; Ord. 76-3 § 1, 1976; Ord. 128 NS § 6, 1963; prior code § 8-7.)

By filing such an application, the applicants and the members of any group sponsoring the use shall be jointly and severally liable for the cost of repairing any damage to the property of the City resulting from such use and shall present to the City evidence of insurance which indemnifies the City from any loss, damage, or injury of any kind or character whatsoever that may arise from the use of the facility, in an amount to be determined by the City Manager. (Ord. 87-2 § 2, 1987; Ord. 128 NS § 7, 1963; prior code § 8-8.)
