(a) 
It shall be unlawful for any person, association or corporation to hold any public dance or public ball within the limits of the city unless the dance hall in which the same is held has been duly licensed for such purpose. Applications will be made on forms furnished and prescribed by the city for that purpose. The license shall be issued by the city secretary after the application has been approved by the chief of police and the building official. The fee therefor shall be paid at the time of the issuance of the license. An annual fee for each public dance hall license shall be required in the amount of three hundred dollars ($300.00).
(b) 
No license for a public dance hall shall be issued until it is found by inspection that such hall complies with and conforms to the health and fire regulations of the city, and that it is properly ventilated and supplied with sufficient toilet conveniences and is a safe and proper place for the purpose for which it is used, as determined by regulations adopted by the city council.
(1964 Code, sec. 22-15)
In addition to the dance hall license provided for in section 4.03.003, there shall be required a public dance permit. No person shall hold a public dance or public ball until a permit shall be issued therefor by the city secretary upon approval by the chief of police and the building official. Application for such permit shall be upon a form furnished by the city and shall be filed with the secretary at least forty-eight (48) hours before the dance or ball is to begin. Said permit shall require that there be a minimum of two (2) certified officers or two (2) commissioned private security officers present during the dance or ball. Additional security requirements are to be determined by the chief of police of the city. Such permit shall be issued by the secretary when all the provisions of this article and other ordinances in reference thereto are complied with and upon payment of the dance permit fee, which fee shall be two dollars and fifty cents ($2.50). In the event, however, that the room in which such dance is to be held contains a minimum of one thousand (1,000) square feet of floor space and the music used is by radio, phonograph or record playing machine and no bar for the dispensing of alcoholic beverages is located therein, the provisions of this section shall not apply.
