(a)

Fee requirements. As a condition precedent to the issuance of a permit authorizing an event, the permittee shall pay to the City a fee in an amount equal to the City's total estimated costs for providing all of the personnel and materials, including, but not limited to, police department personnel, which are necessary in order to control and monitor pedestrian and vehicular traffic in and around the site of such event. Such traffic control fee shall be determined by the Chief of Police based upon a schedule of traffic control fees and rates established by resolution of the City Council; the estimate of Chief of Police as to the type, number and hours of employment of police department personnel necessary to control and monitor pedestrian and vehicular traffic in and around the site of the event, all as set forth by the Chief of Police in his or her report on the event; and, on the estimate of the Chief of Police as to the type, number and hours of employment of other City personnel necessary to control or monitor the event. Such fee shall be paid by the permittee prior to the issuance of the permit.

(b)

Waiver of traffic control fee. The traffic control fee required by this section shall be waived by the Chief of Police for any permit authorizing an event where the event involves an exercise of free speech rights.
