CHAPTER121:DANCES Section 121.01 License required 121.02 License fee 121.03 License application 121.04 Security 121.99 Penalty § 121.01 LICENSE REQUIRED. It is unlawful for any person to operate a public dancing place, or to hold a public dance, without a license for that activity from the city. In lieu of a per dance license for a specific dance, the City Council may grant an annual license under terms and conditions as it deems appropriate. The Council may impose conditions on the license to ensure the safety and well-being of the public and may consider such factors as capacity of the room or rooms where the dance is to be held, the availability of parking for patrons and impact on adjoining properties and residents. A license shall not be required for a school conducting student dances on its own premises. Penalty, see § 121.99 § 121.02 LICENSE FEE. The license fee shall include the cost of providing attendance by a designated security officer or officers when required by the Chief of Police. The license fee shall be fixed and determined by the Council at the time the application is approved, which fee shall also include the cost of any investigation. An annual fee may be charged for the application processing and investigation portion when license applicants contemplate numerous public dances throughout a calendar year. Any portion or all of the license fee may be waived if the Council finds that the applicant is a charitable, religious or fraternal committee, association or organization operating on a purely nonprofit basis, and all dance proceeds other than direct operating expenses are used for benevolent or charitable purposes. § 121.03 LICENSE APPLICATION. An application for a dance license shall be filed with the city on forms as are specified by the City Administrator and shall specify the names and addresses of the person, persons, committee or organization that is to hold the dance, the time and place thereof, the area of the dance floor, the estimated number of dance patrons and other information as the city may reasonably request. 240΋tğŭĻ
