(b) Monitored Bicycle Parking at Public Events. ISCOTT or other applicable permitting authority is authorized and encouraged in its discretion to require, and to develop guidelines regarding, monitored bicycle parking at appropriate large permitted public events. The Sponsor of the public event may provide such monitoring service or ensure that such monitored bicycle parking is available in local garages or other similar facilities. If the Sponsor provides monitored bicycle parking, the Sponsor may charge a nominal fee for such service. The amount of such fee shall be included as part of the Sponsor’s permit application. If the Sponsor is unable to ascertain the fee amount at the time of the permit application, the Sponsor may submit a fee schedule to ISCOTT, or other applicable permitting authority, as soon as possible but no later than 10 days before the event. (c) Recycling Conditions. The City Administrator or their designee shall review recycling plans submitted pursuant to this subsection 6.6(c) and recommend any conditions to ISCOTT that should be imposed on any applicant. (1) Recycling Plan. Any applicant seeking permission for the temporary use or occupancy of a public street under Sections 6.3 through 6.5 of this Article 6, for an event that includes dispensing of beverages from glass, aluminum, or plastic containers, or which causes to be generated large amounts of other recyclable materials, shall be required to submit a plan demonstrating a good-faith effort to provide a method to separate glass, aluminum, and plastic beverage containers or other materials for recycling. (2) Disposition of Recyclable Materials. Prior to ISCOTT’s review, the applicant shall submit to the chair of ISCOTT the following information: (A) A plan that describes the number and location of source-separated recycling containers that are necessary to ensure convenient utilization and protect public health and safety; and (B) Documentation that a private or nonprofit entity will perform collection services. (3) Collection of Recyclable Containers. At the time ISCOTT considers the application, it shall determine whether the applicant

has provided the required information and whether the measures proposed provide for the collection and disposition of source-separated materials. The applicant shall pay to the Director of Public Works at the time the application is filed a deposit in the amount of $100, for each day of the event, which shall be forfeited if applicant fails to collect and deposit recyclable materials at a recycling facility. The Director of Public Works shall refund the deposit upon receipt of documentation verifying that the collected material was disposed at an appropriate recycling facility. (4) Past Performance. If an applicant for a temporary street closing, Street Fair or Athletic Event has been previously granted a permit and failed to collect and dispose recyclable beverage containers, ISCOTT may require the applicant to pay a deposit in an amount greater than normally required, so long as the increased amount is reasonably related to the anticipated costs of collecting and disposing of recyclable materials. However, if an applicant who has failed to comply with a recycling plan in the past has, since that occurrence, temporarily used a public street, or sponsored a Street Fair or Athletic Event pursuant to a permit and has complied with a recycling plan, the amount of the deposit normally required of applicants shall apply. The Director of Public Works shall maintain records for a period of three years that document applicants’ recycling performance. (5) Rules and Regulations. The City Administrator shall promulgate any rules and regulations necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes and requirements of this Article 6. Before issuing or amending any rules or regulations, the City Administrator shall provide a 30-day public comment period by providing published notice in an official newspaper of general circulation in the City of the intent to issue or amend the regulations. (d) Exceptions.
