§ 66-186. Permit; conditions.  


Latest version.
  • The city manager may, when it deems the occasion warrants, grant a special event permit to hold a regatta or boat race in the city or make temporary use of a designated area in the city for a special event or activity in which unmuffled engines may be used, speed limits may be exceeded, and normal traffic interrupted. A permit for boat races shall not exceed ten days and shall be limited to the hours between 8:00 a.m. and sunset. No permit shall authorize interference with normal harbor traffic for a period exceeding eight hours in any 24-hour period. As a condition for granting such permit, the city manager shall require the permittee to provide liability insurance for the full period of time for which the permit is granted in an amount of not less than $1,000,000.00 for bodily injury to one person, and those other amounts of insurance mandated by the city's risk manager. The policy providing such insurance must name the city as an additional insured. A certificate evidencing that such insurance is in force and will remain in force for the period of such permit shall be filed with the city's finance department and risk manager in a form approved by the city attorney before any such permit shall be effective. The city manager or his/her designee may impose additional conditions as deemed necessary to protect persons and property and to assure that the activity will not create a nuisance or interfere with the reasonable use of the waters of the city by other vessels. No such permit shall be effective until it has been granted by the city manager.
