The City finds that to preserve each citizen’s right of free speech and assembly, in both public and private places, the coordination of the City services is necessary to maintain the safety of the persons and properties of the participants and those electing not to participate in the event, and to provide continued municipal services for the benefit of all the citizens of the City, minimal regulations are necessary to provide for the coordination of essential municipal services. These regulations are established for the purpose of regulating those events which are intended to draw large numbers of people, involve use of public facilities and to establish a fee required to defray the costs of assuring the public health and safety. [Ord. 3524 § 4, 2001; Code 1970 § 5.25.005.]
