(Ord. 00-09; Ord. 11-11 § 7)
A permit is required for any activity defined as a special event
park use. It is unlawful for any person to conduct an event for which
a special event permit is required, or knowingly participate in any
such event, unless or until a permit has been obtained.
(Ord. 00-09; Ord. 11-11 § 7)
Any person who wants to conduct an event for which a special
event permit is required shall apply to the park supervisor for a
permit at least 60 days in advance of the date of the proposed event.
The park supervisor may, at his or her discretion, consider any application
for a permit to conduct such an event which is filed less than 60
days prior to the date such event is to be conducted. The application
for such permit shall be made in writing on a form provided by the
County. In order that adequate arrangements may be made for the proper
policing of the event, the application shall contain the following
information:
A.
The
name of the applicant, the sponsoring organization, the event chair
and the addresses and telephone numbers of each.
B.
The
purpose of the event, the date when it is proposed to be conducted,
and the specific proposed location of the event.

A.
Standards
for Issuance. The park supervisor shall issue a permit conditioned
upon the applicant’s written agreement to comply with the terms
of such permit unless the park supervisor finds that:
1.
The
time, size, or an activity at the event will disrupt to an unreasonable
extent the peace of other citizens or will endanger the safety of
participants or citizens, or cause a safety hazard.
2.
The
event is of a size or nature that requires the diversion of too many
County law enforcement officers, public works employees or other County
personnel to properly control the event or that allowing the event
would deny reasonable law enforcement or other emergency service protection
to the County.
3.
Such
event will interfere with another event for which a permit has been
issued.
4.
The
event when considered in conjunction with special events that have
already been approved will overly restrict the general public’s
ability to access and enjoy park facilities.
B.
Standards
for Denial. The park supervisor shall deny an application for a special
events permit and notify the applicant of such denial where:
1.
The
park supervisor makes any finding contrary to the findings required
to be made for the issuance of a permit.
2.
The
information contained in the application is found to be false or nonexistent
in any material detail.
3.
The
applicant refuses to agree to abide by or comply with all conditions
of the permit.
(Ord. 00-09; Ord. 11-11 § 7)
A permit of a special event shall specify:
A.
Indemnity

Upon denial by the park supervisor of an application, the applicant
may appeal the determination of the park supervisor within seven days
thereafter to the Board. The Board shall consider the appeal as soon
as practicable after receipt of the appeal. Upon such appeal, the
applicant and appellant shall have the right to be heard. The Board
may reverse, affirm, or modify in any regard the determination of
the park supervisor.
(Ord. 00-09; Ord. 11-11 § 7)

be summarily revoked by the park supervisor or Sheriff at any time
when by reason of disaster, public calamity, riot or other emergency,
the Sheriff or park supervisor determines that the safety of the public
or property requires such revocation. Notice of such action revoking
a permit shall be delivered in writing to the permittee by personal
service or by certified mail.
(Ord. 00-09; Ord. 11-11 § 7)

of such special event and the activities permitted in connection therewith.
Applicants shall provide the County with evidence of liability insurance
in amounts not less than the Oregon Tort Claim limits set forth in
ORS 30.272 and ORS 30.273. All policies shall name the County as an
additional insured. Provided, the park supervisor may waive proof
of insurance if circumstances warrant for events of less than 200
participants.
(Ord. 00-09; Ord. 11-11 § 7)
Applicants shall pay to the County the cost of County personnel
who are required by the County to work or perform duties during or
as a result of such events and all other costs incurred by the County,
including, but not limited to, trash removal, facility clean-up and
crowd control assistance. Applicants shall provide the County a deposit,
as described below, in an amount required by the park supervisor for
the purpose of covering costs to the County.

Applicant shall provide a deposit to the County not less than
15 days prior to the event in an amount set by the park supervisor.

permit, shall be deducted from the deposit. Any remaining funds shall
be refunded to the applicant within 30 days of the event.
(Ord. 00-09; Ord. 11-11 § 7)
