(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. |
