A. Fee Waivers: An applicant for a special event may request, by separate application in writing, a waiver of the fees associated with part or all of the permitting for the event.

Fee waivers may be granted if the applicant:

1. Provides evidence of their inability to pay the fees;

2. Shows good cause that the event promotes the health, safety, or welfare of the citizens and why the fees should be waived, and the event subsidized by taxpayers; and

3. Provides evidence of other remuneration or benefit that the city will receive in lieu of fees.

B. Sponsorship: An applicant for a special event may request, in writing with the application for the event, a city sponsorship for the event. The application for sponsorship shall include the specific type of sponsorship requested (monetary or in-kind), the quantity or amount, and a sample of how and where the city’s name and logo will appear on any materials.

C. An applicant for a special event may request both a fee waiver and sponsorship, when eligible, for a single event through independent requests for each. Requests and approvals for fee waivers and sponsorships shall be considered independently and mutually exclusive of each other. Decisions of the city council on fee waivers and sponsorship requests shall not carry influence on the other. The city council shall maintain full discretion for the approval, partial approval, or denial of any fee waiver or sponsorship request. The decision of the city council is final and not subject to appeal. (Ord. 2023-017, 8-31-2023)
