One chapter proposed for revIew IS DMC Chapter 5 12 (Attachment 1 ), whIch establishes regulatIOns
relatmg to parades wlthm the CIty of Dublin (the HCIty") Chapter 5 12 was carned forth from the
Alameda County Code upon the CIty'S mcorporatIon, and has not been amended SInce that time Due to
several developments III the law relatIng to the regulatIOn of parades, Staff proposes that the current
Chapter 5 12 be repealed and replaced with the proposed Ordmance reldtmg to Parades and Events

Scope of the Proposed Ordmance
The proposed Ordmance regulates parades occumng on, upon, or along any street, sIdewalk, alley or other
public way, Just as the current ordmance does However, the proposed Ordmance clanfies the definItion
of "parade" to mean any parade, march, demonstratIOn, assembly, ceremony, show, reView, exhIbition,
pageant, motorcade, athlettc event or processIOn of any kmd, or any simIlar dIsplay, whIch IS to assemble
or travel m UnIson on, upon, or along any portIOn of any publIc street, sIdewalk, alley or other publtc way
and WhICh 1) does not comply wIth the normal and usual traffic regulatIOns or controls, or 2) IS lIkely to
Impede, obstruct, Imp au or mterfere With the free use of such pubhc street, sidewalk, alley, or othcr pubhc
way
Thus, parades mclude a wIde vanety of events that occur wIthin any street, sidewalk, alley or other publIc
way For example, the proposed Ordmance applIes to athlettc events, such as lOK races, marathon races
and bicycle races In additIOn, the proposed Ordmance applies to marches and parades that mvolve
"expressive actiVIty," - parades that Involve the commUnIcatIOn of OpinIOnS, VIews or Ideas -- which are
protected by the First Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech and assembly (Long Beach Lesbwn
and Gay Pnde, Inc v Cztyof Long Beach (1993) 14 Cal App 41h 213, 324 (Long Beach))
Due to the constttutIonal concerns ImplIcated m the regulatIon of parades, the proposed Ordmance treats
differently those parades InvolvIng expreSSIve acttvlty and those parades that do not mvolve expressIvc
acttvlty Whlle the same apphcatton reqUirements and procedures are generally applicable to both types of
parades, the followmg table proVIdes a companson of those proposed permlttmg regulations that treat
non-expressIve actIvity parades and expressIve acttvlty parades differently Thesc differences are
dIscussed III greater detail throughout the staff report Please see page 5 of this staffreport for a
dISCUSSion of the effect of the proposed Ordmance on the City's eomffion and recumng paradcs Please
also note that the proposed Ordmance mcludes deSignated parade routes, whIch are discussed later m thIS
staff report The purpose of desIgnated parade routes IS to balance the mterests of persons wlshmg to
conduct expressive acttvIty parades III a ttmely manner and the CIty'S mterest III ensunng It has the
services necessary to protect the publIc and parade partiCIpants

Application Procedure
The current ordmance reqUires that an apphcatIOn for a parade permit contam several Items of
mformatIOn, IncludIng contact mformatlon for the appltcant and orgalllzatlOn, If apphcable, date and time
for the parade, estlmated numbers of persons, vehicles, anImals and structures m the parade, the location
of assemb 1 y 0 f the parade, and other In formatl on The proposed Ordmance carnes forth thIS reqUIred
mformatlOn, and addItionally reqUIres mformatIOn such as locatIOn of dIsassembly ofthe parade and
parkmg reqUIrements for parade partiCIpants In addItIOn, the proposed Ordmance carnes forth the
applicatIOn fee requlfement of the current ordmance, whIch IS currently set at $90 per appbcatIOn,
pursuant to the Master Fee Schedule effective July 1, 2006, and whIch WIll remam the same for fiscal
year 2007/2008
The current ordInance requlfes an appltcatlon for a parade permit to be filed not less than 20 days before
the date of the parade However, due to federal and state court deCISions challengmg mUnIcIpal parade
ordmances, the proposed Ordmance Imposes a notice reqUIrement of 30 calendar days for parades that do
not Involve expressive actiVIty, but reduces the advance notice reqUired for parades mvolvIng expressive
activity
The advance notIce requlfement for parades mvolvmg expressIve activity vanes dependmg on the amount
of time necessary for the CIty to prepare for the parade The proposed Ordmance reqUires the CIty
CouncIl to deSignate certaIn parade routes In the CIty, as dIscussed below, whIch have been studied by
City Departments for service proVISIOn If an applIcant chooses to use the City CounCIl deSIgnated parade
route, the appltcant need only gIve 48 hours advance notice to the CIty The 48-hour advance notice
comphes WIth the standard upheld by the Nmth CIrCUIt (Santa Momca Food Not Bombs v City of Santa
Momca (2006) 450 F 3d 1022, 1045 (Santa MOnica) )
Alternatively, If the applicant chooses not to use the deSIgnated parade route, the applicant must gIve the
CIty five calendar days' notIce, to prOVIde the City time to prepare for the parade No court has addressed
a five-day notice reqUirement Imposed on applicants who choose a non-deSIgnated parade route
However, such a reqUirement would appear to comport wIth the Nmth CircUit's reasonIng that CIties
reqUIre time to coordmate the vanous demands on the streets, mcludmg services for parades (Ibid)
It should also be noted that the proposed Ordmance apphes to actiVIty occumng m pubhc streets,
SIdewalks, alleys or other publIc ways, and does not apply to publIc spaces such as City parks and the City
Hall entrance In addition, the City does not Impose any permIttmg reqUIrements on the use of CIty parks
and the City Hall entrance for purposes of expreSSIve actiVIty Thus, persons may engage m spontaneous
events, generally defined as events occasIoned by news or affaIrs commg mto publIc knowledge less than
48 hours pnor to such event, III the City's parks and pubhc spaces, so long as such spontaneous activity
does not occur In the streets, SIdewalks, alleys or other public ways In other words, the proposed
Ordinance docs not foreclose opportumtIes for persons to engage III expreSSIve actiVIty through
spontaneous events, such as a spontaneous labor protest or protest of some publIc event
Page 3 of?
ActIOn on Permit ApphcatlOn
The current ordmance reqUIres permIt Issuance upon a findmg that the parade Will not adversely affect the
publIc health, safety or welfare, gIVIng broad dIscretton to the declSlon-maker, but does not set forth the
basIs for dellJal of d permit and does not establish a deadlme for actIOn on the permIt applIcatIOn
Conversely, the proposed Ordmance provIdes that the ChIef of PolIce shall approve, approve WIth
condlttons or deny an apphcatlOn for a parade permIt wlthm 10 days of receIvmg a completed apphcatton,
except that applicattons for parades mvolvmg expressIve activIty must be approved, approved wIth
conditIOns, or denIed wlthm three days of reCeIVIng a completed apphcatIOn, or wlthm 12 hours lfthe
designated parade route IS used unless the appltcatIOn IS receIved after noon on a Fnday or a day before a
legal holIday, In whIch case the Chief of Police must act by one o'clock pm on the followmg busmess
day Because the CIty does not have management or admmIstrattve staff aVaIlable dunng weekends and
holidays, the ChIef of PolIce may be unable to act wIthIn 12 hours on an applicatIOn for a parade mvolvmg
expressive activIty that IS receIved after noon on a Fnday or a day before a legal holiday CIty Staff will
provide the Chief of PolIce with general estimates of costs, dependmg on the size of a parade If It IS
conducted on the designated parade route, so as to facIlttate speedy review and actton on an applicatIOn
First Amendment junsprudence lImits the dIscretIOn that a government offiCial may have over hcensmg
parades Thus, the proposed Ordmance provIdes that the ChIef must approve the apphcatIOn If It meets
the several cntena enumerated In Sectton 5 12090 B 1, whIch Includes a reqUirement that the proposed
parade WIll not substanttally disrupt vehIcular traffic, pubhc transportatton or pedestnan traffic, not
,
unreasonably mterfere WIth access to police or fire statIons or other pubhc safety facIlittes, and WIll have
avaIlable suffiCIent on-street and/or off-street parkIng to accommodate participants It IS Important to note
that the proposed OrdInance provIdes that, m evaluatIng the applIcatIOn, no consideration shall be given to
the content ofthe speech or message of the parade
In addItIOn, the proposed Ordmance provides the Chief ofPohce an option to approve a permIt WIth the
conditions enumerated m Section 5 12090 B 2, whIch mclude the accommodatton of the parade's
pedestnan and vehIcular traffic, mc1udmg the restnctIon of parade partIeIpants to City Sidewalks, or
portIOns of City streets or other publIc ways
Fmally, the proposed Ordmance provIdes that the ChIef must deny any appltcatton that does not meet the
approval cntena or any condIttons Imposed on the permIt, or If the applicant has not paId any apphcable
fees under the OrdInance
Ordinance Imposes ServIce Charges
In addItIon to the parade permIt applIcatIon fee, the proposed Ordmance Imposes service charges on the
appltcant, which represent the actual cost the CIty Incurs In connection WIth the actIvIttes for whIch the
permIt IS reqUired, mc1udmg, but not lImited to, costs assocIated With fire safety, traffic and pedestnan
control, street closures, admlnIstratton and coordmatlOn of City services, and admInIstrative and overhead
expenses The current ordmance does not reqUIre the payment of such costs
Upon receIpt of a complete applIcatIOn, the servIce charges WIll be esttmated by the Chief ofPohce, the
Director of PublIc Works, the Duector of Parks & CommunIty ServIces, and the Fire ChIef The applicant
must pay, In advance ofthe parade, a cash depOSit or other adequate secunty to cover the total estImated
servICe charges
Although a CIty can Impose servIce charges, It cannot charge for the cost ofpohce protectIOn of those
engaged In or observIng a parade that Involves expreSSIve acttvIty (see Long Beach Lesbwn supra 14
Cal App 4th at p 335), so the defimtIOn of "Service Charges" excludes those costs
Page 4 of7
In addition, an mdlgent person who mtends to engage 10 expressive actiVIty and cannot pay the servIce
charges may apply for a WaIver upon venficatlon ofmdlgent StdtUS, as set forth m the Ordmance
Government agencIes are also exempt from the service charge reqUirement
The proposed OrdInance reqUIres the applIcant to reimburse the City for actual repaIr or replacement costs
m the event that CIty property IS damaged or destroyed by the permitted parade
fndemOlficatlOn and Insurance ReqUirements
The Nmth CIrCUIt upheld Santa MOllIca's IndemnIficatIOn proVIsIon III Its CommUnIty Events Ordmance,
despite the fact that the provIsIOn appltes to those engaged m expressIve actIVity (Santa MOnica. supra
450 F 3d at p 1056) Thus, the proposed OrdInance reqUIres an apphcant to execute a hold harmless
agreement In a form approved by the CIty Attorney to protect the CIty from claims ansmg out of the
permItted parade
Conversely, the Court of Appeal struck down Long Beach's msurance reqUIrement because It applIed to
expressive activity (Long Beach Lesbwn supra 14 Cal App 4th at p 342) Thus, the proposed
Ordmance reqUIres the appltcant to obtam publtc habIlIty and property damage Insurance m an amount of
at least $1,000,000 combmed smgle lImIt, except that appltcants who mtend to engage In expreSSIve
actiVIty need not proVIde such msurance, unless there IS a specific demonstrable hIStOry of personal mJury
or property damage claIms bemg awarded agalllst the applicant attnbutable to the applIcant's conduct of
prevIous parades In the CIty that are SImilar to the proposed parade
The current ordInance does not address IndemmficatIon or Insurance reqUIrements
Conduct of Parade
The proposed Ordmance carnes forth the current ordInance's reqUIrement that, once a permit has been
obtamed and applIcable fees have been paId, no one shall mterfere WIth the parade WIth vehIcles or
otherwIse, and that the ChIef of PolIce has the authonty to prohIbIt and restnct parkmg along the route of
the parade
Effect of Proposed OrdInance on the CIty'S Common and Recumng Parades
Dublin PolIce ServIces receIves about 10 applIcations for parade permIts each year The CIty rarely
receives applicatIOns for parade permIts to engage In expressIve activity Based on a reVIew ofDubhn
Police records, It appears that the most recent applIcant for a parade permit to engage III expressIve
actl VI ty was submitted on behal f 0 f March fOf Jesus In 1995 and 2 000 To the extent that a parade permIt
applIcant Intends to engage III expreSSIve actiVIty, the permIttmg regulatIOns applIcable to expressIve
activIty parades as descnbed III thIs staffreport shall apply
Parade permIt applIcatIOns for non-expressIve actiVIty are much morc common For example, the CIty has
III the past receIved apphcatIOns for several athletIC events, such as the Top Hat ClassIc bIcycle event on
behalf of the Multiple SclerosIs SOCIety, the Cmderella ClaSSIC bicycle event on behalf of the Valley
Spokesmen BIcycle Tounng Club, the fundraIsmg walk on behalfofDublm Umted Soccer, and a 10K run
sponsored by the Deputy Shenff's AssociatIOn called the Jml Break Run Parade applIcants would be
responsible for the servIce charges Incurred by the CIty III connectIOn WIth the parade The amount of
service charges would depend on the size and location of the event For example, the servIce charges
assessed for a parade of 200 persons usmg the City deSignated pafade routc would be about $6,000 to
Page 5 of?
$9,000 A parade of this scope and partlclpatJOo would reqUire the closure of CIty streets, mstallatlOn of
temporary bamcades, and Staff time (pnmanly MCE and Police) to prepare the route and prOVIde traffic
control servIces dunng the event, The recumng parades, as they have been conducted hIstoncalIy, have
reqUired little to no CIty services, typIcally, the recuITlng parades have not requued such thmgs as road
closures, traffic control aSSistance or clean-up services If these events are conducted m the same manner
In the future there would contmue to be mmlmal or no service charges mcurred
-'
The proposed ordmance exempts parades sponsored by a government agency actmg wlthm the scope of ItS
functIOns from the payment of service charges For example, parade permIt applIcatIons submitted on
behalf ofDubhn Umfied School DIstnct would be exempt from the payment of servIce charges (I e
Dublm High School Homecommg Parade, Wells MIddle School Tour de SPCA (marchmg band))
In addition, parades hosted by the City or III conjUnctIon WIth the City are exempt from the proposed
Ordmance Thus, the St Pdtnck's Day parade IS exempt from the proposed Ordmance, as the Lion's Club
hosts the parade In conjUnctlOn WIth the CIty
Fmally, weddmg and funeral proceSSIons are exempt from the current and proposed Ordinance III the
mterest of pubhc pohcy
Appltcants would also be responsible for provIdmg msurance and mdemmficatIon m compliance With the
proposed Ordmanee, whIch would amount to about $200 to $250 for a Similar parade Most applicants
prOVide proof of msurance when they apply already as Illsurance IS reqUIred by many other cItIes
ResolutIOn DcsmnatlOg Paradc Routes Within the City
As discussed above, the proposed Ordmance prOVIdes that the City CouncIl shall establish a deSignated
parade route wlthm the City, upon r_ecommendatIon of the City Manager DeSignatIon of parade routes
enables the City to antIcipate applicatIOns for parades along these routes, and be prepared for deployment
of servIces and estimation of costs mcurred III dehvenng such servIces Although no court has reVIewed
the constltutlonaltty of deSIgnated parade routes, the establIshment of such a route would seem to comport
WIth the Nmth CIrcUIt's reasonIng that cItIes need ttme to coordmate vanous demands on pubhc nghts-of-
way, and several CalIfornia CIties have successfully adopted such deSignated parade routes (Santa
MOnica supra 450 F 3d at p 1045)
The proposed resolutIon deslgnatmg a parade route reflects the recommendatIOn of the CIty Manager
(Attachment 3) The resolution would estabhsh a deSIgnated parade route around a portion of Emerald
Glen Commumty Park, along Gleason Dnve, TassaJara Road and Central Parkway As the CIty contmues
to develop, the City WIll examme dddItlonal deSIgnated parade routes for proposal to the City Council
However, the establIshment of deSIgnated parade routes does not preclude apphcants from requestmg a
parade route dIfferent from one deSIgnated by the CIty Council As discussed above, parades mvolve the
constitutIOnally-protected nght to freedom of speech and assembly, and any blanket prohlbltlOn of parade
locatIon would most hkely VIolate the reqUirement that parade regulatIOns be narrowly-tailored to serve
the CIty's sIgnIficant governmental mterest III preservmg the pubhc health, safety and welfare (Santa
MOnica supra 450 F 3d at pp 1037-38)
In the event that the CIty CouncIl mtroduces the proposed parades ordmance, Staffwtll return to CouncIl
WIth the proposed resolutIOn establIshmg the deSIgnated parade route (Attachment 3) so that It can be
adopted when the ordmance IS adopted and WIll take effect on the same day
