§ 5.08.080. Circus, etc.

A.

Every person engaged in the business of exhibiting, conducting, managing or operating a circus, wild west show, carnival, sideshow, bazaar, street fair, fiesta or other exhibition or entertainment at which feats of horsemanship, acrobatic feats, mechanical amusement devices, or trained or wild animals are exhibited or displayed, or other similar show or exhibition, shall be assessed an annual license feet set by city council resolution. Provided, however, that no person shall conduct or carry on such business within said city without first having obtained a special permit therefor from the city council upon written application filed with said council setting forth:

1.

The name of the person engaged in the business of managing, carrying on or directing said show;

2.

The place where such show is to be exhibited;

3.

The type of manner of such exhibition;

4.

The time, date and number of performances to be exhibited;

Upon receipt of the application, the council shall investigate the business of the applicant, the appropriateness of the location at which said applicant proposes to engage in business as specified in the application, and the type of circus, show or carnival proposed to be produced. Thereupon the council may approve the application and authorize the issuance of a license thereon or the council may deny any application, if in its judgment the granting of the request permit would be contrary to the public interest or would result in appreciable discomfort or serious inconvenience to persons residing in the vicinity or if the proposed location is an inappropriate one.

B.

In addition to the daily fee as assessed and set by council resolution, there shall be a daily fee for each sideshow to the circus, wild west show, carnival, sideshow, bazaar, street fair, fiesta or other exhibition or entertainment.
