§ 19-145. Cost recovery for commercial special events.

(a)

Absent a specific finding of city council to the contrary, for any commercial special event requiring expenditure of public resources, the manager shall charge for the actual cost of:

(1)

The salaries of city personnel involved in permit processing, event traffic control, fire safety or other facility or event support; and

(2)

The use of city equipment and other nonpersonnel expense.

(b)

The city shall require the payment of fees required pursuant to subsection 19-145(a), or a reasonable estimate thereof, at the time the completed application is approved, unless the city manager, with the concurrence of council, for good cause extends time for payment.

(c)

If in the sole judgment of the city manager or his designee, the event organizer fails to, adequately and expeditiously clean the event site, the event organizer will be billed for actual city costs for clean up and repair of the area or route occasioned by the event. If the event organizer failed to adequately and expeditiously clean the event site under a previously issued special event permit, the event organizer shall deposit adequate surety in the form of cash or bond.
