Except for a special event sponsored by the city, priority may be given for the scheduling of a special event permit to local tax-exempt nonprofit organizations operating in and providing services to the citizens of the city. Priority may also be given to annual, semiannual, or other regularly scheduled or recurring special events. If competing applications cannot be resolved on this basis, permits shall be granted to the earliest completed application received for the time and place requested. (Ord. M-3956 §1, 2010)
