When any loud or unruly assemblage occurs or is held, and the sheriff’s department is required to respond to the scene in response to citizen complaints and the handling sheriff’s deputy at the scene determines that there is a threat to the public peace, health, safety, or general welfare, then that handling sheriff’s deputy shall notify the owner of the property where the assemblage exists and/or the person responsible for the said assemblage, that such person or persons, or in the case of a minor, the parents and/or guardians of such minor, will be held personally liable for the cost of providing additional sheriff personnel on special security assignment over and above the normal services provided by the sheriff’s department in response to such assemblage. Such person or persons shall be given a first warning, in the form of written notification by the said handling sheriff’s deputy as above described, that the first sheriff response as above described shall be deemed to be the normal police services provided. The sheriff personnel necessarily utilized within a 24-hour period of such first warning to control the threat to the public peace, health, safety or general welfare shall be deemed to be on special security assignment over and above the normal services provided and the owner of the property and/or the person in charge of the property where such assemblage occurs, and/or the person responsible for such assemblage, shall be personally responsible for the cost of such special security assignment in an amount determined upon a cost accounting basis by the city. The cost of such special security assignment shall include damage to city or county property and/or injuries to city or county personnel.
