§ 12.44.100. Application procedure—Fee.

A.

Any person desiring to sponsor a parade shall apply for a permit by filing a verified application with the Chief of Police on a form supplied by the Chief of Police.

B.

If the application is for a parade along a free-speech route, the application shall be filed not less than ten days but not more than ninety (90) days before the date on which the parade is to occur. All other applications shall be submitted not less than thirty (30) days but not more than ninety (90) days before the date of the parade.

C.

Upon a showing of good cause, the Chief of Police shall consider an application which is filed after the final filing deadline, provided that there is sufficient time to process and investigate the application and obtain police services for the parade. Good cause can be demonstrated by the applicant showing that the circumstance which gave rise to the permit application did not reasonably allow the participants to file within the time prescribed, and that the parade is for the purpose of exercising the right of free speech.

D.

Each application for a permit shall be accompanied by a nonrefundable permit application fee in the amount set by City Council resolution.
