§ 3.14.030. Application.

A person seeking issuance of a parade permit shall file an application with the City Treasurer on forms provided by the City Treasurer.

(a)

Application filing period. An application for a parade permit shall be filed with the City Treasurer not less than seven business days before the date on which it is proposed to conduct the parade. The applications shall be signed by the applicant.

(b)

Late applications. The Chief of Police, or his or her designee, shall consider applications that are received after the seven day filing period. The Chief of Police, or his or her designee, shall approve a late application if he or she finds that there is adequate time to review the application, there are City personnel and equipment available to support the parade activity, and the standards for permit issuance set forth in Section 3.14.050 are met. The speech content of the parade shall not be a consideration in whether or not approval of a late application is granted.

(c)

Approval/disapproval of application. The Chief of Police, or his or her designee, shall be responsible for the processing and review of the application. The Chief of Police, or his or her designee, shall act upon the application for a parade permit within four business days after the filing thereof. The applicant will be notified by the City Treasurer if the application has been approved or disapproved. If, due to the nature or scope of the parade, the application cannot be reviewed within four business days, the Chief of Police, or his or her designee, shall notify the applicant within four business days after the filing of the application that additional time is required. The length of any additional time necessary to consider the application shall be no greater than is reasonably necessary, considering the nature and scope of the parade. However, in no event shall the Chief of Police approve or disapprove an application less than forty-eight hours prior to the parade. If the Chief of Police, or his or her designee, disapproves the application, the City Treasurer shall mail to the applicant, within five business days after the date on which the application was filed, a written notice of disapproval, which shall set forth the reasons for disapproval of the permit and the applicant's right of appeal. The Chief of Police, or his or her designee, is empowered to consider alternative dates, times and locations presented by the applicant provided these alternatives meet the standards for issuance set forth in Section 3.14.050. No additional processing fee will be charged for consideration of alternative dates, times and locations, provided the alternatives are presented by the applicant contemporaneously with the notice of disapproval.
