Full Breakdown
040(A) lets the city approve special event or reservation applications from private parties for park facilities, trails, or other city-owned property, granting exclusive use for group-sponsored uses such as entertainment events, association or club activities, family reunions, ticketed events and political activities. 05. City-sponsored recreation programs and city special events take priority over private group requests when facilities are double-booked. 030 defines a special event as any group-sponsored activity requiring approval for reservation of specific park areas, trails, roadways or single-purpose facilities, and 'supervisory authority' as the city manager or designee.
The deposit is calculated to reimburse the city's reasonable costs for emergency services, sheriff's personnel, city supervision of the use, and clean-up and repair of city facilities afterward. 040(V) requires prior written approval from the city manager or supervisory authority for amplified sound or music in a park.
