Sacramento Municipal Code Art. V Appeals-Miscellaneous Provisions

An applicant may appeal the decision of the director to deny or revoke any permit provided for in this chapter to the city manager. The applicant must file such appeal with the city manager within two business days of the date the director's decision becomes final. The city manager or his or her designee shall hold a hearing within two business days of the filing of such appeal, at which time applicant may present any evidence relevant to the application. The city manager shall within two business days of such hearing issue his or her decision either affirming the denial of the application, or directing the director to issue a permit. The decision of the city manager shall be in writing, shall specify the grounds therefor, and shall be final. (Ord. 2012-042 § 5)

Fees for the application, permit, and surcharges for certain activities provided for in this chapter shall be in the amounts established by resolution of the city council. Such fees must be paid at the time the application is filed, and the application shall not be considered complete until such fees are paid. If the director requires a security deposit as a condition of the building use or park use permit, such deposit shall be paid prior to issuance of the permit. Permit fees, surcharge fees for costs and services which have not yet been incurred or rendered, and the security deposit shall be refunded if the application is withdrawn, the permit is denied, or the permit is revoked prior to the date of the activity, but the application fee is nonrefundable. (Ord. 2012-042 § 5)

B. The city manager may close any park, building or portion thereof, and remove all persons therefrom when in his or her judgment such closing will best preserve the public peace, prevent damage to public property, quell riots, mobs or violence, or is otherwise in the public interest.

(Ord. 2012-042 § 5)

The director shall promulgate a schedule which shows uses and capacities of each building and park, the extended hours for parks with lighted recreational facilities, hours and areas for use of amplified sound in a building or park, and other special rules.
