(b)

[Rules and regulations.] The city recreational department shall, from time to time, create rules and regulations for the use of city athletic fields and municipal facilities. These rules and regulations shall be created and amended from time to time by the city recreation department and may be enforced by that department to the exclusion or expulsion of violators or by the withdrawal of permits solely at the discretion of the recreation department. In the event that a permit shall be withdrawn, any fees previously paid to the city shall not be refunded in whole or in part.

(c)

Use by commercial and/or for-profit users.

(1)

Intent and purpose. The city commission wishes to continue its efforts to protect and preserve its parks and recreation facilities as areas devoted to rest, relaxation, recreational sports, family outings, special events and other activities which serve to enhance the enjoyment of life, for the use of its present and future citizens. The city commission is aware, however, that the personal liberties guaranteed under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution allow persons the right to express their fundamental freedoms of speech, assembly and religion in public areas such as the city parks, since parks have been consistently regarded and treated by the courts as traditional public forums for such expressions.

It is, therefore, the purpose and intent of the city commission to try to strike a reasonable balance and achieve a reconciliation of such uses, which occasionally compete with each other, by the enactment of regulations which are content neutral as to the subject matter of expressions of opinions or of the viewpoints of a person or a group. Furthermore, the city commission wishes to ensure that such regulations are tailored to avoid undue restrictions upon or intrusions into personal freedoms of expression and to further ensure that reasonable alternative modes of communications are available.

In addition, the city commission is aware that use of the parks and recreation facilities by commercial and for-profit users may result in damage to the parks and recreation facilities greater than that customarily associated with park usage. The city commission wishes to protect the condition of its parks and recreation facilities so that the city's residents are not unfairly and unduly burdened with bearing the costs to repair said damages.

(2)

[Reservation required, when.] Any person, organization, entity or group of persons who wishes to temporarily and exclusively use any city park area, recreation facility, or both, to sponsor, conduct or stage any function, activity or event to be conducted or held with the recreation area, facility or both, must obtain a reservation in advance of the event from the city parks and recreation department on a form promulgated by that department for such purpose.

a.

Reservation procedure. Upon application, a reservation for any such use shall be issued to the applicant in writing, specifying:

1.

The date and time it was issued;

2.

The name, address and telephone number of the applicant or designated agent;

3.

The name or other identification of the proposed event or use, including a brief description of it;

4.

The requested hours and days of use; and

5.

The boundaries, location or identity of the recreation area, facility, or all of the foregoing sought to be used.

(3)

All such applications shall be processed free of charge on an annual "first-come, first-served" basis, commencing at the beginning of each calendar year. However, the actual reservation of the recreation services, recreation areas, recreation facilities, park area or any of the foregoing shall be subject to payment to the city of the user fees as established by the city.

(4)

Each reservation shall be issued promptly by the department as soon as a determination has been made that:

a.

There will be no overlapping, conflicting or concurrent use of an area, facility or both;

b.

The area, facility or both are otherwise reasonably available for use (for example, some areas cannot be continuously used without damage; instead, the area must "rest and recover" from use to regenerate grass, and be maintained so as to keep in good condition);

c.

City equipment or personnel which must reasonably be available to service the reservation are so available (e.g., stages or special duty police or recreation personnel); and

d.

All other requirements of this section are satisfied or the city has received reasonable assurances that same will be satisfied.

(5)

If the proposed function, activity, or event is, or may be, in the reasonable estimation of both the police chief and the parks and recreation director, likely to be attended by a large number of patrons, attendees or invitees, they shall, after consultation with the fire department and the applicant, outline reasonable conditions governing vehicular parking locations and traffic control, points of access for pedestrians, movement of pedestrian traffic within the park area, the facility or both, and provisions to ensure that the grounds are within the park area, the facility or both, and provisions to ensure that the grounds are protected from undue wear and tear, damage or destruction. For all purposes of this section, the term "director" shall include the director of the parks and leisure services department or any authorized designee of the director. Further, the director shall ensure that suitable arrangements are made in consultation with the applicant for sanitation and hygiene, such that a reasonable number of restroom facilities are accessible (or, if necessary, additional temporary facilities are procured by the applicant), and that trash collection and disposal arrangements are sufficient to accommodate the event. The "reasonable estimation" by the director and police chief of the anticipated number of patrons shall be based upon consideration of the following factors:

a.

Prior experiences with activities conducted by the particular applicant for the function, activity or event requested, or prior experience with similar functions, events or comparable activities;

b.

The size of the entire park, including pedestrian and vehicular access in relation to the area facility or both sought to be used; and

c.

The anticipated size or intensity and characteristics of the proposed use.

(6)

If the application involves allocation of limited space for exhibitors, concessionaires and other event participants, and there are corresponding limitations on the areas remaining for pedestrian traffic, then any and all persons who wish to exhibit, sell or distribute any items of any kind may be required by the sponsor of the event to do so within the confines of designated booths or areas, to ensure orderly movement and maintenance of crowd control.

(7)

Deposits; insurance.

a.

The director shall require the posting of a damage deposit in the minimum amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00). If the expected number of patrons, attendees or invitees is reasonably expected to exceed five hundred (500) persons, then the amount of such deposit shall be increased by one hundred dollars ($100.00) for each additional five hundred (500) persons anticipated to attend. Such deposit may be used by the city to defray the costs to repair any damages to park and/or recreation facilities that arise as a result of the function, activity or event. Any balance remaining, or the entire deposit, if applicable, shall be returned to the applicant within fifteen (15) days after the function, activity or event has concluded. Any person who is dissatisfied with the determination of the city to retain all or a portion of the deposit may appeal such determination to the city commission for a hearing. Such appeal must be made with fifteen (15) days from the date the applicant is notified of the determination of the city.

b.

If an event is authorized to provide for sales of beer, wine or both, as otherwise provided in this section, the applicable deposit shall be doubled.

c.

Each applicant shall provide the city a certificate of insurance with such limits, coverages and underwriters as the city risk insurance supervisor may require, given the size, nature, and scope of the activity contemplated by the reservation. The city shall be named as an "additional insured" under the policy of insurance and a copy of said insurance page shall be provided to the city prior to the date of the event.

(8)

On those occasions in which a park reservation is sought, an applicant whose purpose is primarily devoted to civic, charitable, religious, or fraternal purposes may be authorized by the department to provide for the sale and consumption of beer, wine, or both during the function, activity or event, provided, however, that if the city police department determines, at any time while the event is underway, that such activities should be terminated, such determination shall be immediately communicated to and observed by the applicant. Any applicant obtaining such authorization shall be solely responsible for securing all applicable state licenses relating to such sales and consumption.

(9)

It shall be unlawful and a violation of this section for any person to exhibit, sell or offer for sale any item or thing, to distribute literature of any kind, or to convey any message, opinion or the like within the park area, facility or both which is the subject of a reservation unless such person has obtained authorization of the holder of the reservation.
