<br />Footnotes:
<br />--- (10) ---
<br />Editor's note— Ord. No. 09-01, § 1, adopted March 2, 2009, enacted provisions intended for use as art.
<br />XI, §§ 38-510—38-522. To preserve the style of this Code, and at the editor's discretion, these provisions
<br />have been included as §§ 38-511—38-523.
<br />Sec. 38-511. - Purpose and findings.
<br />The purpose of this chapter is to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of this city by
<br />regulating the time, place and manner of special events as defined herein, and by establishing permit
<br />requirements and other regulations for conducting special events. The city council finds that special
<br />events often exceed the city's capacity to provide usual city services. These city services include, but are
<br />not limited to, sanitary facilities, fire, police and utility services. The city council also finds this article
<br />necessary to ensure that such events are conducted with sufficient consideration given to public safety
<br />issues including, among other things, the impact of these events on parking and traffic management
<br />within the city.
