Agenda Title:

An Ordinance to Eliminate the Common Council Permission Requirement for Parades Incorporating Seventy or More Units by Repealing Section 12.20.050 of the Rapid City Municipal Code

Summary:

Pursuant to Rapid City Municipal Code (“RCMC”) Chapter 12.20, the Chief of Police or designee is authorized to issue special event permits provided the event meets the criteria set out in RCMC 12.20.030. Regarding parade permits, the Chief of Police or designee is authorized to issue the same if the parade meets the criteria set out in RCMC 12.20.030, with the additional requirement that parades which will include seventy or more vehicles, floats, bands, or other units must receive Council “permission” prior to issuance of a permit. Repealing RCMC 12.20.050 would make issuance of all parade permits an administrative process under the criteria set-forth in RCMC Ch. 12.20, including permits for parades with seventy or more units, bringing it in line with the special event permit criteria and process set-forth RCMC Ch. 12.20.
