The City Council recognizes that special events enhance the
city's lifestyle and provide benefits to area residents, visitors,
and businesses through the creation of unique venues for expression,
recreation, and entertainment that are not normally provided as a
part of governmental services. However, the City Council also recognizes
that special events, if unregulated, can have an adverse effect on
the public health, safety and welfare due to noise, traffic, safety,
and health hazard impacts. The purpose and intent of this chapter
is to set forth reasonable regulations by establishing a process for
permitting special events within the city, to protect the rights and
interest granted to special event permit holders, to ensure the health
and safety of patrons of special events, to prohibit illegal activity
from occurring within special event venues, and to minimize any adverse
effects from special events while ensuring the orderly and efficient
use of public property and city services. It is further intended to
create a mechanism for cost recovery for special events without having
an adverse effect on those special events that contribute to the community.
It is also the intent of the council to protect the rights of citizens
to engage in protected free speech expression activities and yet allow
for the least restrictive and reasonable, time, place and manner regulation
of those activities within the overall context of rationally regulating
special events that have an impact upon public facilities and services.
