Pedestrians shall move whenever practicable upon the right half

[Amended 10-7-2003 by Ord. No. 33-03]
It shall be unlawful to conduct a parade or march in or on any
public street, alley or other public way or place in the City unless
a permit therefor is first obtained from the Chief of Police. Application
for such permit shall be filed with the Clerk on forms provided for
that purpose. Such application shall set forth the suggested route,
the date such parade or march is to be conducted, the time such parade
or march, including preparation therefor, for which the street, alley,
public way or other place may be used shall begin, the approximate
duration of such parade or march, the name of the person or persons
or organization or organizations sponsoring or conducting such parade
or march, any unusual equipment to be used, and such other information
as may be required. The application shall be brought before the Chief
of Police, who may grant or deny such application, may alter or change
the suggested route, may establish conditions and restrictions as
to time and any other matters relating thereto, and may, in his discretion,
require a bond of not more than $5,000, with good and sufficient personal
sureties, as a condition to the granting of such permit, conditioned
to indemnify the City for any loss, damage or liability incurred or
caused by the conduct of such parade or march. If the application
is approved by the Chief of Police, the Clerk shall issue a permit
which shall include the conditions or restrictions or alterations,
if any, made by the Chief of Police. In lieu of a personal surety
bond, a corporate surety bond may be furnished. If bond is required
by the Chief of Police, such permits shall not be issued until said
bond and the sureties thereon are approved by the Clerk. Such permit
shall be valid only for the time and date set forth therein. In the
event that the Chief of Police denies said application, such denial
may be appealed to the City Council for further action.
[Amended 9-20-2011 by Ord. No. 23-11]
A. In addition to satisfying the requirements of §
382-8.4, any applicant for parade or march permit which will involve the temporary use of any portion of the state highway system, and any special event which will involve the temporary use of any portion of the state highway system, shall comply with the Neb. RS 39-1359.
B. Neb. RS 39-1359 provides that any parade, march, or special event
approved by the City which will involve the temporary use of any portion
of the state highway system shall require formal action by the governing
body of the City acknowledging that the City accepts any statutory
or common law duty of the state to protect the public from damage,
injury, or death and that the state shall not have such statutory
or common law duty during the time the City is in control of the portion
of the state highway system being used for the parade, march, or special
event. The City shall, by official governing body action, acknowledge
that it accepts the foregoing duties, and if a claim is made against
the state, the City shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the
state from all claims, demands, actions, damages, and liability, including
reasonable attorney's fees, that may arise as a result of the special
event. The City shall further provide 30 days' advanced notice of
the parade, march, or special event to the Nebraska Department of
Roads (NDOR) prior to proceeding with the use of the state highway
system. The notice shall specify the date and time the City will assume
control of the state highway property and relinquish control of such
state highway property to the state, as well as the beginning and
ending locations for the highway closure, including sufficient area
for the placement of advance warning and/or detour signing.
C. In the event of failure to provide a specific acknowledgment as defined
above from the City's official governing body, as well as 30 days'
advance written notice now required by law, the state highway system
cannot be used for the event.
