The Police Chief shall grant a permit to sponsor, promote or
conduct a mass outdoor gathering to be attended by 200 or more persons
upon written application therefor unless it appears to the Police
Chief within a reasonable certainty that such gathering will unreasonably
endanger the public health or public safety. An applicant who has
been denied a permit shall be granted a prompt hearing for reconsideration
of such denial if the applicant so requests in writing submitted to
the City Clerk within five days after notice of such denial; such
hearing shall be before the City Council.
The fee for a permit under this article shall be $100, plus
the cost estimated by the City for cleanup and traffic control. The
fee of $100 is payable at the time of application and the balance
when the permit is issued. The City Council may modify this fee from
time to time by order.
Any person violating any provision of this article shall be
punished by a fine of not more than $1,000 or by imprisonment for
not more than 30 days, or by both.
This article does not apply to athletic events conducted by
the Board of Education, Little League or other organizations, provided
