days after a complete application is submitted. During the review
of the application, the Chief of Police may consult with all persons
reasonably necessary and available for such consultation, including
the event organizers and all other persons, entities, agencies, and

the public health, safety and welfare, including the date, time, location
and/or route, police and fire protection necessary, and sanitation
provisions required. In the event the Chief of Police denies a permit,

terms, or conditions may be reasonably carried out while protecting
the public's health, safety, and welfare.
