§ 3-51. Purpose and intent.
The city council of the City of Colusa wishes to establish clear time, place and manner regulations for the issuance of a permit for special events to use the City of Colusa ("city") streets, parks and facilities. The city intends for its regulations to provide a coordinated process for managing activities on property owned or controlled by the city, including, but not limited to, the traffic, noise and aesthetic impacts of the activities and to ensure the health and safety of event patrons, residents, workers, and other visitors and to prohibit illegal activities from occurring at events. It is also the purpose of this article to protect the rights of people to engage in communicative activities.
It is further intended to create mechanisms for cost recovery and use charges, to the extent authorized by law, while not unduly impacting the viability of the events.
