It shall be unlawful to hold, sponsor, operate or run a transient show within the city unless a license is first obtained from the city. This license shall be required whether such show is held on private or public property. Each person aiding or abetting in the holding of such transient show or its subsidiary shows, concessions, amusements and businesses shall be equally guilty of a violation of this article when such transient show operates or runs without such license.
(1966 Code, sec. 25-64; 2001 Code, sec. 10-141)

A license shall be issued by the city clerk by order of the city manager to hold such transient show when a proper application in writing is made for the license. Such application shall state in detail the following:

The different component parts of the transient show, including all concessions, shows, amusements, businesses;
(2) 
The proposed location of the transient show;
(3) 
The time the show is to run;
(4) 
The number of persons regularly traveling with the show, if any; and
(5) 
The number of local persons connected with the show.

(1966 Code, sec. 25-65; 2001 Code, sec. 10-142)
No transient show shall be licensed to operate within 300 feet of any private residence, church or school.
(1966 Code, sec. 25-69; 2001 Code, sec. 10-143)
The applicant for a transient show license, if the city manager shall determine that the license required by this article shall be issued, shall pay a license fee established by separate ordinance, together with an additional fee per day for so many days that such transient show is permitted to run, exclusive of the first day, and the city clerk shall issue the license specifying the length of time and the location. In addition to the license fee, the applicant shall pay such fees for electrical inspections as are required under the city electrical code and separate ordinance.
(1966 Code, sec. 25-66; 2001 Code, sec. 10-144)
If a transient show changes from one location to another location within the city, it shall be considered as another show and shall require a new license.
(1966 Code, sec. 25-70; 2001 Code, sec. 10-145)
It shall be unlawful for any transient show to operate in whole or in part after its license expires or after it is revoked for cause, and all persons assisting in such operation shall be deemed in violation of this article.
(1966 Code, sec. 25-71; 2001 Code, sec. 10-146)
If the proposed transient show consists in whole or in part of any unlawful games or enterprises of any kind, the license shall be refused. If such transient show is issued a license and the conduct of such show is in an unlawful manner, in whole or in part, or such show fails to conform to all applicable codes and ordinances, its license may be revoked by the city manager, and all fees paid shall be forfeited.
