§ 25-6. Issuance; priority of conflicting applications.

(a)

The MOSE director shall review each application to ensure that the proposed special event complies with all applicable provisions of this chapter. The MOSE director shall:

(1)

Notify the special event organizer of the denial of the application if it is found to conflict with another special event already permitted for the same time, location, and date, or to be incomplete or to violate any provision of this Code, which notice shall set forth the reasons for the denial; or

(2)

Issue a permit if the special event organizer has satisfied all applicable requirements of this chapter.

(b)

All permits shall be issued on a first-come, first-served basis and no application shall be accepted for filing that is submitted prior to 365 consecutive days immediately preceding the date(s) sought. All applications shall be time stamped immediately upon receipt. An application received first in time shall be the first in right; provided that if two or more conflicting applications are received simultaneously, precedence shall be determined by an impartial means of chance.

(c)

The MOSE director shall notify the special event organizer of the approval or denial of an application upon the receipt and review of all information requested by the MOSE director and any appropriate director taking into consideration the nature and size of the proposed special event and the time necessary for the MOSE director to coordinate with any appropriate director to determine the availability of city personnel resources to provide the necessary city services requested by the special events organizer or required by the MOSE director.
