• A. Time for Taking Action. Following the filing of a completed application for a permit authorizing a parade, athletic event or public assembly, the director of community development shall act on the application, either by approving or disapproving the application, not later than 7 days from the date of filing the application where the application is for a permit authorizing a parade or athletic event which will be conducted along a designated parade route; not later than 15 days from the date of filing the application where the application is for an event which will not be conducted along a designated parade route; and as soon as practicable prior to the date of an event where the director has waived the time for filing of an application for the event in the manner hereinbefore provided in this chapter.

• B. Approval and Issuance of Permit. Where the director of community development determines that a completed application has been filed for a permit authorizing a parade, athletic event or public assembly in a manner required by this chapter, that there is no reason for proposing approval of a permit authorizing the event on alternative dates or times and/or at alternative locations, and that there are no grounds for denying such permit, the director shall approve such permit subject to all the general conditions herein-after required by this chapter plus any special conditions authorized by this chapter and determined by the director to be necessary in order to protect the safety of persons and property and/or the control of pedestrian and vehicular traffic in and around the site of the event. Upon approving an application for a permit authorizing an event, the director shall promptly cause a notice of such action to be served on the permit applicant and shall also provide copies of such notice to the city administrator, chief of police and fire chief. Thereafter, the director shall issue a permit authorizing the event to the person or organization designated as the permittee on the application when the permittee has executed the indemnification agreement, provided the liability insurance and paid the traffic control fee required as a general condition for such permit, and has complied with all special conditions of the permit which are required as conditions precedent to the issuance of the permit.

Promptly following such action, the director shall cause a notice proposing such permit alternatives to be served on the permit applicant and shall also provide copies of such notice to the city

administrator, the chief of police and fire chief. In such notice, the director shall set forth, with particularity, the reasons for the determination of the director not to approve the event proposed by the application on the date or time or at the location set forth therein. Any applicant desiring to accept such permit alternatives shall file a written notice of acceptance with the director not later than 5 days after service of such notice of permit alternatives. In the event the applicant fails to accept such permit alternatives in a manner and within the time provided for herein, then the permit application shall be deemed denied.

• D. Denial of Permit.

  1. Grounds for Denial. The director of community development shall deny any permit required by this chapter if the director determines that:

     • a. The person applying for the application has failed to provide the supplemental information requested by the director, or has otherwise failed to complete the application;

     • b. The information contained in the application, including supplemental application information requested by the director, is found to be false in any material respect;

     • c. An application for another event to be held on the same date as that requested by the applicant has been previously filed or approved, and such other event is so close in time and location to the event proposed by the applicant as to cause undue traffic congestion or to place the city in a position of being unable to meet the needs for police services for both events;

• d. The time, route or size of the event will substantially interrupt the safe and orderly movement of traffic contiguous to the site or route of the event or disrupt the use of a street at a time when it is usually subject to great traffic congestion;

  • e. The concentration of persons, animals and/or vehicles at the site of the event or at the site of an assembly or disbanding area around the event will prevent proper police, fire or ambulance services to areas contiguous to the event;

  • f. The size of the event will require the diversion of so great a number of city police officers to ensure that participants stay within the boundaries or route of the event, or to protect participants in the event, as to cause police protection to the rest of the city to be seriously jeopardized; provided, however, that nothing herein authorizes the denial of a permit because of the need to protect participants from the conduct of others if reasonable permit conditions can be imposed to allow for adequate protection of event participants given the number of city police officers available to monitor the event;

  • g. The event consists of a parade or athletic event moving along a route which will not move from its point of origin to its point of termination in 3 hours or less;

  • h. The location of the event will substantially interfere with construction or maintenance work previously scheduled to take place on or along the city street, sidewalk or other public right-of-way to be occupied by the event;

  • i. The event will occur at a time when a school is in session and along a route or at a location adjacent to the school or a class thereof, and the noise created by

In addition, such agreement shall provide that in the event a claim is made against the city by suit or otherwise, whether the same is groundless or not, arising out of such negligent or intentional act or omission, then the permittee shall defend the city and shall indemnify the city for any judgment rendered against it or any sums paid out in settlement or otherwise. Such agreement shall be filed with the director of community development prior to the issuance of the permit.
