On January 15, 2008, the CouncIl held a publIc hearmg on the proposed ordmance repealIng and
reenactmg Chapter 5 12 FollOWIng the publIc heanng, the Council wftlved the readmg and mtroduced the
Ordmance Repealmg Chapter 5 12 of the Dublm Mumclpal Code Relatmg to Parades and Addmg Chapter
5 12 Relatmg to Parades and Events (Attachment 2)
Scope of the Proposed OrdInance
The proposed Ordmance regulates parades occurnng on, upon, or along any street, Sidewalk, alley or other
publIc way, Just as the current ordInance does However, the proposed Ordmance clarIfies the defimtlOn
of "parade" to mean any parade, march, demonstratIOn, assembly, ceremony, show, reView, exlnbltlon,
pageant, motorcade, athletIC event or processIOn of any kmd, or any Similar display, whIch IS to assemble
or travel m umson on, upon, or along any portIOn of any publIc street, Sidewalk, alley or other publIc way
and which 1) does not comply With the normal and usual traffic regulatIOns or controls, or 2) IS lIkely to
Impede, obstruct, lmpalr or mterfere With the free use of such publIc street, SIdewalk, alley, or other pubhc
way
Thus, parades mclude a Wide variety of events that occur WIthtn any street, Sidewalk, alley or other pubhc
way For example, the proposed OrdInance apphes to athletiC events, such as 10K races, marathon races
and bicycle races In addltIon, the proposed Ordmance applIes to marches and parades that mvolve
"expressIve actIvity," - parades that mvolve the commUnIcatIOn of OpinIOnS, views or Ideas -- whIch are
protected by the FIrst Amendment's guarantees of freedom of speech and assembly (Long Beach Lesbzan
and Gay Pnde, lnc v City of Long Beach (1993) 14 Cal App 4th 213, 324 (Long Beach))
Due to the constItutIOnal concerns Imphcated m the regulatIOn of parades, the proposed Ordmance treats
differently those parades mvolvmg expreSSIve actIvity and those parades that do not mvolve expressive
actlvIty WhIle the same applIcatIOn requIrements and procedures are generally applIcable to both types of
parades, the follOWIng table provIdes a comparIson of those proposed permIttmg regulatIOns that treat
non-expressIve actIvlty parades and expressive actIvlty parades differently These differences are
discussed m greater detaIl throughout the staff report Please see page 5 of thiS staff report for a
dISCUSSIOn of the effect of the proposed Ordmance on the City'S common and recurnng parades 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 WIshIng to
conduct expressive actIvity parades m a tImely manner and the CIty'S mterest m enSUrIng It has the
servIces necessary to protect the publIc and parade partIclpants

ApplIcatIOn Procedure
The current ordmance reqUIres that an applIcatIOn for a parade permit contftlll several Items of
mformatIOn, mcludmg contact mformatIOn for the applIcant and organizatIOn, If applIcable, date and tIme
for the parade, estImated numbers of persons, vehicles, anImals and structures m the parade, the locatIOn
of assembly of the parade, and other mformatIOn The proposed Ordmance carnes forth thiS reqUIred
mformatIOn, and additIOnally requues mformatIOn such as locatIOn of disassembly of the parade and
parkmg reqUIrements for parade partICipants In additIOn, the proposed Ordmance carnes forth the
applIcatIOn fee reqUIrement of the current ordmance, wluch IS currently set at $90 per applIcatIOn,
pursuant to the Master Fee Schedule effectIve July 1,2006, and which Will remam the same for fiscal
year 2007/2008
The current ordmance requues an apphcatIOn 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 mvolve expressive actIVity, but reduces the advance notIce reqUired for parades mvolvmg expressive
actiVity
The advance notIce reqUIrement for parades mvolvmg expresslve actIvlty vanes dependmg on the amount
of tIme necessary for the City to prepare for the parade The proposed Ordmance requues the City
CouncIl to deSignate certam parade routes m 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 applIcant need only give 48 hours advance notIce to the City The 48-hour advance notIce
complIes WIth the standard upheld by the Nmth CUCUlt (Santa MOnIca Food Not Bombs v Czty of Santa
MOnIca (2006) 450 F 3d 1022, 1045 (San fa MOnIca) )
AlternatIvely, If the applIcant chooses not to use the deSIgnated parade route, the apphcant 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-deslgnated parade route
However, such a reqUIrement would appear to comport With the Nmth CIrCUIt'S reasolllng 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 applIes to actIvlty occUITlng m pubhc streets,
Sidewalks, alleys or other publIc ways, and does nof apply to publIc spaces such as City parks and the City
Hall entrance In addItIon, the Clty does not Impose any permlttmg 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, m the CIty'S parks and publIc spaces, so long as such spontaneous actIvity
does not occur m the streets, Sidewalks, alleys or other publIc ways In other words, the proposed
Page 3 of7
Ordmance does not foreclose opportumtIes for persons to engage m expressive activity through
spontaneous events, such as a spontaneous labor protest or protest of some pubhc event
ActIOn on Penmt ApphcatIOn
The current ordmance reqmres permit Issuance upon a findmg that the parade will not adversely affect the
publIc health, safety or welfare, glvmg broad discretion to the declSlon-maker, but does not set forth the
basIs for dernal of a permit and does not establIsh a deadlme for actIOn on the permit applIcatIOn
Conversely, the proposed Ordmance prOVides that the Cruef of PolIce shall approve, approve With
conditions or deny an applIcatIOn for a parade permIt WItrun 10 days of recelvmg a completed applIcation,
except that applIcatIOns for parades mvolvmg expressive actiVIty must be approved, approved With
conditions, or defiled WIthtn three days ofreceIvmg a completed applIcatIOn, or WIthm 12 hours If the
desIgnated parade route is used unless the applIcatIOn IS received after noon on a Fnday or a day before a
legal holIday, m wruch case the Chief of PolIce must act by one o'clock p m on the follOWIng busrness
day Because the Clty does not have management or admlfilstratIve staff avaIlable durmg weekends and
holIdays, the ChIef ofPohce may be unable to act wlthtn 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 Cruef 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 faCilItate speedy review and actIOn on an apphcatIOn
First Amendment JUrIsprudence lImits the discretIOn that a government offiCial may have over hcensmg
parades Thus, the proposed Ordmance proVIdes that the Cruef musf approve the applIcatIOn If it meets
the several cntena enumerated m SectIOn 5 12 090 B 1, whIch mcludes a reqmrement that the proposed
parade WIll not substantially disrupt verucular traffic, publIc transportatIOn or pedestrian traffic, not
unreasonably mterfere WIth access to polIce or fire stations or other publIc safety faCIlItIes, and wlll have
avaIlable suffiCIent on-street and/or off-street parkmg to accommodate partiCIpants It IS Important to note
that the proposed Ordmance prOVides that, rn evaluatmg the applIcatIOn, no consideratIOn shall be gIven to
the content of the speech or message of the parade
In additIon, the proposed Ordmance proVides the Cruef of PolIce an optIon to approve a permit With the
conditIOns enumerated m SectIOn 5 12090 B 2, wruch mclude the accommodatIOn ofthe parade's
pedestrian and verucular traffic, rncludmg the restnctIOn of parade partiCipants to City SIdewalks, or
portIOns of City streets or other pubhc ways
Fmally, the proposed Ordrnance prOVides that the Clnef must deny any applIcatIOn that does not meet the
approval cntena or any conditions lmposed on the permlt, or If the applIcant has not pmd any applIcable
fees under the Ordmance
Ordmance Imposes Servlce Charges
In addition to the parade permit applIcation fee, the proposed Ordmance Imposes servIce charges on the
applIcant, which represent the actual cost the City mcurs m connectIOn WIth the actiVItIes for which the
permit lS reqmred, mcludmg, but not lImited to, costs associated WIth fire safety, traffic and pedestnan
control, street closures, admmIstratIOn and coordrnatIOn of City services, and admmlstratIve and overhead
expenses The current ordmance does not reqmre the payment of such costs
Upon receIpt of a complete applIcatIOn, the service charges Will be estImated by the ChIef of Pohce, the
Director of PublIc Works, the Director of Parks & Community Services, and the Fire ChIef The applIcant
must pay, m advance of the parade, a cash depOSIt or other adequate secUrIty to cover the total estImated
service charges
Page 4 of7
Although a Clty can lmpose service charges, It cannot charge for the cost of polIce protectIOn of those
engaged m or observmg a parade that mvolves expressIve actlvlty (see Long Beach Lesbzan, supra, 14
Cal App 4th at p 335), so the defirutlOn of "ServICe Charges" excludes those costs
In addItIon, an mdlgent person who mtends to engage m expreSSIve actIVIty and cannot pay the service
charges may apply for a WaIver upon venficatlOn of mdlgent status, as set forth m the Ordmance
Government agencles are also exempt from the servIce charge reqUIrement
The proposed Ordmance 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
IndemruficatlOn and Insurance ReqUIrements
The Nmth ClfCUIt upheld Santa Moruca's mdemruficatlOn provIslOn m Its CommunIty Events Ordmance,
despite the fact that the proVISion applIes to those engaged m expressIve actlvIty (Santa MOnIca supra,
450 F 3d at p 1056) Thus, the proposed Ordmance reqUIres an applIcant to execute a hold harmless
agreement m a form approved by the CIty Attorney to protect the CIty from claIms arlSlng out of the
permI tted parade
Conversely, the Court of Appeal struck down Long Beach's msurance reqUIrement because It apphed to
expresSlve actIVIty (Long Beach Lesbzan, supra 14 Cal App 4th at p 342) Thus, the proposed
Ordmance reqUIres the applIcant to obtam publIc habIhty and property damage msurance m an amount of
at least $1,000,000 combmed smgle lImIt, except that applIcants who mtend to engage m expressIve
actlvlty need not prOVide such msurance, unless there IS a speCIfic demonstrable htstory of personal mJury
or property damage clftlms bemg awarded agamst the applIcant attnbutable to the applIcant's conduct of
prevlOus parades m the City that are SImIlar to the proposed parade
The current ordmance does not address mdemmficatlOn or msurance reqUIrements
Conduct of Parade
The proposed Ordmance carnes forth the current ordmance'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 Ordmance on the City'S Common and Recurrmg Parades
Dublm Pohce ServIces receives about 10 applIcatlOns for parade permits each year The CIty rarely
receIves apphcatIons for parade permIts to engage m expreSSIve actlvIty Based on a review of Dublm
Pohce records, It appears that the most recent applIcant for a parade permIt to engage m expreSSIve
actiVIty was submitted on behalf of March for Jesus m 1995 and 2000 To the extent that a parade permIt
applIcant mtends to engage m expressive actlvlty, the permIttmg regulatlOns applIcable to expressive
actIVity parades as descnbed m thts staff report shall apply
Parade permIt applIcatlOns for non-expressIve actlvlty are much more common For example, the CIty has
m the past receIved apphcatlOns for several athletIc events, such as the Top Hat ClaSSIC bicycle event on
behalf of the Multlple SclerOSIS SocIety, the Cmderella ClasS1C bicycle event on behalf of the Valley
Page 5 of7
Spokesmen BIcycle Tounng Club, the fundrmsmg walk on behalf of DublIn Umted Soccer, and a IOK run
sponsored by the Deputy Shenffs ASSocIatIOn called the JaIl Break Run Parade apphcants would be
responsIble for the servIce charges mcurred by the CIty m 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 of200 persons usmg the CIty deSIgnated parade route would be about $6,000 to
$9,000 A parade ofthts scope and partIcIpatIOn would reqUlre the closure of CIty streets, InstallatIOn of
temporary bamcades, and Stafftlme (pnmarlly MCE and PolIce) to prepare the route and proVIde traffic
control servIces durmg the event, The recurrmg parades, as they have been conducted hIstoncally, have
reqUlred lIttle to no CIty servlces, typIcally, the recumng parades have not reqUlred such thmgs as road
closures, traffic control assistance or clean-up servIces If these events are conducted m the same manner
m 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 of Dublm Urufied School DIstnct would be exempt from the payment of service charges (I e
DublIn HIgh School HomecomIng Parade, Wells Middle School Tour de SPCA (marchmg band))
In addItIon, parades hosted by the City or m conjunctIOn With the CIty are exempt from the proposed
Ordmance Thus, the St Patnck's Day parade IS exempt from the proposed Ordmance, as the LIOn's Club
hosts the parade m conjunctIOn WIth the CIty
Fmally, weddIng and funeral processIOns are exempt from the current and proposed Ordmance m the
mterest of publIc pohcy
ApplIcants would also be responsIble for provIdmg msurance and Indemmficatlon m complIance WIth the
proposed Ordmance, wruch would amount to about $200 to $250 for a SimIlar parade Most applIcants
proVIde proof of msurance when they apply already as msurance IS reqUlred by many other CItIes
ResolutIOn DeSIgnatmg Parade Routes wItrun the CIty
As discussed above, the proposed Ordmance prOVIdes that the CIty CouncIl shall estabhsh a deSignated
parade route Wlthm the City, upon recommendatIOn of the Clty Manager DeSignatIOn of parade routes
enables the CIty to antICIpate apphcatlOns for parades along these routes, and be prepared for deployment
of servIces and estImatIOn of costs mcurred m dehverIng such servIces Although no court has reviewed
the constItutlOnahty of deSignated parade routes, the estabhshment of such a route would seem to comport
With the Nmth CIrcUlt's reasorung that CIties need tlme to coordmate vanous demands on pubhc nghts-of-
way, and several CalIfornIa cltles have successfully adopted such deSIgnated parade routes (Sanfa
MOnIca supra 450 F 3d at p 1045)
The proposed resolutIOn desIgnatmg a parade route reflects the recommendatIOn of the CIty Manager
(Attachment 3) The resolutlon would establIsh 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 addltlonal deSignated parade routes for proposal to the City CounCil
However, the establIshment of deslgnated parade routes does not preclude applIcants 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 prohlbItlon of parade
locatlon would most lIkely VIolate the requIrement that parade regulatIOns be narrowly-taIlored to serve
the City'S sIgmficant governmental mterest m preservmg the publIc health, safety and welfare (Sanfa
MOnIca, supra 450 F 3d at pp 1037-38)
