§ 9-6-4. Same—approval; denial; conditions for issuance.

(a)

Within 21 days after an application is filed, the city manager shall approve or deny the application. Failure by the city manager to act within that period shall constitute approval of the application. In approving an application, the city manager may set conditions prerequisite to the issuance of a permit and shall, as a minimum, require the following of all permits:

(1)

Security personnel. The permittee shall employ at his own expense such security personnel as are necessary and sufficient to provide for adequate security and protection of the maximum number of persons expected to attend the concert and for the preservation of order and protection of property in and around the site of the concert. The required number of security personnel shall be determined by the chief of police whose decision shall be final.

(2)

Fire protection. The permittee shall at his own expense take adequate steps as determined by the fire marshal to ensure fire protection.

(b)

Any other conditions imposed by the city manager as a prerequisite to the issuance of a permit shall be reasonably calculated to protect the health, safety, welfare and property of persons attending the concert or of the citizenry in general. If such other conditions are imposed as a prerequisite to the issuance of a permit or where an application is denied, within three days of such action, notice thereof must be mailed to the applicant by certified mail and, in the case of denial, the reasons therefore shall be stated in the notice.

(c)

A permit may be denied if:

(1)

The applicant fails to comply with any requirements of this chapter, or with any conditions imposed pursuant hereto, or with any other applicable provision of state or local law, rule or regulation.

(2)

The applicant has knowingly made a false, misleading or fraudulent statement in the permit application or in any supporting document. (Code 1963, Sec. 9C-4)
