in effectSec. 8-151. - Cleanup deposits for certain special events.
(a) All applicants/sponsoring organizations shall be responsible for the cleanup of the event site or route within twelve (12) hours of the conclusion of the event. To ensure such cleanup, the applicant/sponsor of an event may be required to provide a cleanup deposit prior to the issuance of a special event permit.
(b) The committee shall conduct a closeout meeting at the conclusion of each event at which time the permittee/sponsoring organization's compliance with the permit shall be assessed.
(c) The cleanup deposit shall be returned to the applicant/sponsor after the event if the area used for the permitted event has been cleared and restored to the same condition as existed prior to the event within twelve (12) hours of the conclusion of the event.
(d) If the property used for the event has not been properly cleaned or restored, the city shall do so, and the applicant/sponsor shall be billed for the actual cost incurred by the city for cleanup and restoration, and the cleanup deposit, or a portion thereof, shall be applied toward the payment of the bill. If the applicant/sponsor disputes the bill, he may appeal to the city board of alderman within ten (10) days after receipt of the bill. Should there be any unexpended balance on deposit after completion of the work, this balance shall be refunded to the applicant/sponsor. Should the amount of the bill exceed the cleanup deposit, the difference shall become due and payable to the city upon the applicant's receipt of the bill.
