Any person or group of persons may use any of the facilities
for a permitted use provided that no person or organization has previously
been issued a permit for use of said facilities by the Director; provided
however, that no organized activity shall be allowed on any portion
of the park prior to issuance of a permit for any such organized activity.
Any organization or group of persons seeking the issuance of
a permit shall file an application with the Recreation Director and
this application shall state the following:
A.
The name and address of the applicant;
B.
The name and address of the person, persons, corporation or association
sponsoring the activity, if any;
C.
The day and hours for which the permit is desired;
D.
The park or portion thereof for which such permit is desired;
E.
An estimate of the anticipated attendance.
The Director shall issue a permit hereunder when they find that
the activities for which the permit is sought are not in violation
of the requirements of this chapter and that that portion of the park
sought to be used is available and it would not conflict with any
other scheduled activities.
In the event a person, group or organization is denied a permit
by the Director, said person, group or organization may appeal the
denial of said permit to the Mayor by filing a written notice of appeal
to the Mayor within 48 hours after being officially notified of the
denial of the permit by the Director. The Mayor shall thereafter,
as soon as possible, schedule a hearing to ascertain all of the facts
involving the application for the permit and the Mayor may overrule
the decision of the Director and authorize the issuance of a permit.
In the event that the Mayor shall deny the permit after the hearing,
the person, group or organization shall then appeal the denial of
the Mayor for the permit to the Council by filing a written notice
of appeal to the Municipal Council within 48 hours after the official
denial of the permit by the Mayor. The Municipal Council shall thereafter,
as soon as possible, schedule a hearing to ascertain all of the facts
involving the application for the permit and the Municipal Council
may overrule the decision of the Mayor and authorize the issuance
of a permit.
In those instances where a permit is applied for and granted
so as to allow for the use of park premises for any organized activity
other than a purely social, or civic or cultural activity, then, in
such an event, the permittee shall be required to execute an indemnification
agreement as well as provide the appropriate levels of liability insurance
to protect the interests of the municipality.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. III)]
No person shall fail to produce or exhibit any permit for the
Director or Recreation Committee, which the case may be, which he
claims to have upon the request of any authorized person who shall
desire to inspect the same for the purpose of enforcing and complying
with any ordinance or rule.
