(a) A permit must be first obtained from the city manager for the making of still or moving
pictures that involve the use of special settings, structures or apparatus, or the
performance of a cast of persons, whether amateur or professional, or the posing of
professional models. Reservations shall be made no less than forty-five (45) days
in advance and no more than six (6) months in advance. Filming for commercial purposes
will require special event approval by the city commission if such filming will, in
the opinion of the city manager, require a significant amount of city services or
closure of any city street. The city manager may waive all or a portion of the advance
reservation requirement if the filming will entail no unusual, extraordinary or burdensome
expense for supervision, maintenance, cleanup or police protection by the city.
(b) A permit for special photography on city park property shall be granted only when
such activities will be in full compliance with all laws and regulations of the United
States, the state, the county and the city, and will in no way interfere with the
normal use of park facilities by the general public. The provisions of this section
do not in any way restrict the use of cameras, whether by amateur photographers or
professionals who are not using such settings, scenery, casts or models.
(c) Bona fide newspaper press, association, newsreel or television news department personnel
advertised by press cards or press papers and assigned by their representative editors
to make photographs for use of their respective communication media will be regarded
as persons performing a task involving the freedom of the press as set forth in the
Constitution of the United States of America.
