(a)
Decision by chief of police.
The chief of police shall
determine whether and to what extent additional police protection
is reasonably necessary for the parade for traffic control and public
safety. The chief of police shall base this decision on the size,
location, duration, time and date of the parade, the number of streets
and intersections blocked, and the need to detour or preempt citizen
travel and use of the streets and sidewalks. If possible, without
disruption of ordinary police services or compromise of public safety,
regularly scheduled on-duty personnel will police the parade. If additional
police protection for the parade is deemed necessary by the chief
of police, he shall so inform the applicant for the parade permit.
The applicant then shall have the duty to secure the police protection
deemed necessary by the chief of police.
(b)
Payment of costs.
In the event the chief of police determines,
upon a review of the application, that a parade may require the special
attention and involvement of city personnel or facilities, the chief
of police shall so notify the city manager. In such event, prior to
the issuance of a parade permit, the applicant and the city manager
shall agree upon the cost of policing and cleaning and the closure
of roads, and the applicant shall pay that amount to the city prior
to application approval. Prior to the issuance of a parade permit,
the applicant shall agree in writing to pay any additional costs to
the city within five (5) days of the date upon which the city informs
the applicant of the amount of such additional costs.

for such postponement, cancellation, or closure. Further, the city
shall have no liability from the failure to postpone, cancel, or close
early the parade.

A
parade shall move from its point of origin to its point of termination
without unreasonable delays en route.

The
city, when reasonably necessary, may temporarily close or restrict
the use of city streets or other public property for a parade. The

the temporary closure or restriction of city streets and public property
for a parade. It shall be unlawful for any person to disregard or
disobey any such temporary traffic-control device.
(f)
Speeds

throwing, tossing, or distribution of candy, beads or other material
from a parade float or other vehicle is specifically prohibited. Candy,

spectators are required to move into the parade path to retrieve said
material. Any violation of this provision may result in the removal
of the parade float or vehicle from the parade.

rider or handler of any animal participating in the parade that shows
an inability to control their animal will be deemed unsafe by a peace
