Both the Special Event Sponsor and the Promoter shall be responsible for violations of this provision.

(I) The issuance of a Special Event Permit pursuant to this Chapter does not obligate or require the City to provide City services, equipment or personnel in support of the permitted Special Event, although the City may provide such services, equipment or personnel if such are reasonably available and the event organizer makes provisions to reimburse the City for the costs thereof.

The provisions of this Chapter and the Special Event Conditions imposed pursuant to this Chapter are intended as minimum standards for the protection of public health, safety, and welfare.
