(Ord. 179 § 14, 1996)

The proposed starting and ending time.
C. 
The application shall be signed by the person designated as chairperson.
D. 
The Council or its designee shall issue a parade permit conditioned on the applicant's written agreement to comply with the terms of the permit unless the Council or its designee finds that:
1. 
The time, route and size of the parade will unreasonably disrupt the movement of other traffic;
2. 
The parade is of a size or nature that requires the diversion of so great a number of police officers in the line of movement and contiguous areas that allowing the parade would deny reasonable police protection to the City;
3. 
The parade will interfere with another parade for which a permit has already been issued;
4. 
Information contained in the application is found to be false or a material detail is omitted;
5. 
The applicant refuses to agree to abide by or comply with all conditions of the permit.

If one or more of the conditions listed in subsection D (other than subdivision (D)(3)), exists, the Council or its designee may impose reasonable conditions in the permit, including, but not limited to:
1. 
Requiring an alternate date;
2. 
Requiring an alternate route;
3. 
Restricting the size of the parade.
F. 
The Council or its designee shall notify the applicant of the decision within three days after receipt of the application.
(Ord. 179 § 15, 1996)
The Council or its designee may revoke a parade permit if circumstances clearly show that the parade can no longer be conducted consistent with public safety.
