(A) Use. The Council chambers shall be under the supervision and control of the City Clerk or his/her designee when the Council is not in session. Except as provided in this chapter, they shall be used solely by the Council for the transaction of public business of the city. If not required for such use, the City Clerk may permit their use by agencies of the federal, state, or city government for the transaction of public business, and by groups, societies, or organizations for public, literary, scientific, recreational, or educational meetings, or for the discussion of matters of general or public interest to the citizens of the city.

(B) Application for use. Application for such use shall be made to the City Clerk or his/her designee in such manner as may be prescribed by him. The City Clerk shall give preference to use by public agencies. The City Clerk shall not grant the use of the Council chambers to any person, group, society, or organization for the commission of any act intended to further any program or movement, the purpose of which is to accomplish the overthrow of the government of the United States or of the state by force, violence, or other unlawful means. Any permission granted for the use of the Council chambers may be cancelled or rejected by the City Clerk when necessary for the protection of city property, the preservation of order, or other sufficient reason.
