Any person desiring to obtain a permit shall apply to the City
Clerk for approval by the Mayor, and the application shall include,
but not be limited to, the following:
A. Name, address, including local address, and telephone number.
B. Locations, dates of filming, special parking requirements, and scenes
to be filmed, list of City personnel or equipment required.
C. The signature and title of an authorized representative of the company
requesting the permit.
The applicant shall, as a prerequisite to the issuance of a
permit, maintain in force at all times during the permit period a
comprehensive general liability policy with its limits determined
upon a review of the motion picture or television project by the Mayor
of the circumstances involved. The applicant, as a prerequisite to
the issuance of a permit, shall provide to the Mayor a certificate
of insurance evidencing that the insurance is in existence and certifying
that the City is a named insured and that the City shall be given
30 days' notice prior to the expiration or cancellation of the policy.
The limits of the policy shall range from $300,000 up to $5,000,000
according to the degree of risk evidenced by examination by the Mayor
of the scripted scenes to be filmed.
Should it be determined that the production company will require
the direct participation of one or more City services, the production
company will compensate the department directly for services rendered
according to that department's rate structure. That department may
also determine whether the production company will be billed for services
rendered or will pay for services in advance.
The City will charge no fee for a motion picture and television
permit.
Upon presentation of the completed application and proof of
insurance, the Mayor shall cause the permit to be issued.
