No person shall hold, manage, conduct, carry on, or participate in any parade, march or procession of any kind or any other similar activity or bear or play any drum, triangle, tambourine or any wind or string instrument upon any public street or alley in the city without first having applied for and obtained a permit therefor from the chief law enforcement officer with the approval of the director of community services as provided in this section.
(1) Application for Permit. Any person desiring to do any of the acts specified in the paragraph above shall file an application with the director of community services upon a form to be supplied by the city without charge to the applicant setting forth the following information in regard to the proposed event:
(a) The name and address of the applicant;
(b) The purpose;
(c) The date and time;
(d) The place and/or route.
(2) All applications filed pursuant to subsection (1) of this section shall be acted upon by the director of community services within a reasonable time from the date of filing.
Should the director of community services after an investigation of the applicant and the facts contained in the application determine that the applicant has stated true facts in his application and the event as proposed will not interfere unduly with the use of the streets and will not tend to cause a breach of the public peace, he shall issue a permit, with the approval of the chief law enforcement officer endorsed thereon, designating the time, place and route of such event.
(3) In the event the application is denied, applicant may file with the director a statement and the reasons why it is believed the director of community services or sheriff acted improperly. The city council, at its next regular meeting held after the date on which such appeal is filed with the director of community services, shall hear the appeal and determination of the city council thereon shall be final.
