or rights-of-way before securing a permit from the City Clerk. If the activity does not obstruct pedestrian or

Manager may require the applicant to provide, at the applicant’s expense, traffic control devices such as traffic
cones, barricades, directional signs, etc.; proof of ambulatory services; proof of financial responsibility;
volunteer traffic control personnel and/or off-duty police officers; sanitary facilities; or other needed material or
equipment. Failure to provide any of the requirements specified for the day of the activity may result in the
suspension of the permit by the ranking Police Officer assigned to the activity. The applicant shall post a
deposit, either cash or surety bond, with the City Clerk in the amount of $100.00 to ensure that all refuse; litter,
materials and equipment used in the activity are removed within forty-eight (48) hours after the activity. Said
deposit will be returned to the applicant when all items have been removed to the satisfaction of the Police
