The City Clerk may consult with the Police Department regarding the need for security and, where appropriate, may require the provision of private security or the provision of a designated security representative, as those terms are defined below, at the applicant's expense as a condition to the issuance of a Special Private Occasion Permit.
(a)
For purposes of this subsection (14), it shall be presumed that a designated security representative be sufficient, where appropriate, for events with less than one hundred (100) people in attendance. For events of one hundred (100) people or more, the applicant shall provide private security at a ratio of at least one private security officer per one hundred (100) attendees.

A permit may be denied, or conditions imposed, on the grounds that approval would be detrimental to the public safety, health, morals, order or welfare by reason of the nature of the event, the likelihood that the event would create a public nuisance or result in the consumption of alcoholic beverages by minors, its location within the community, or the failure of the applicant to conduct a past event in compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
The request may also be denied if another event has previously been scheduled for that location on the same day and time, or if the event would unreasonably interfere with normal activities and customary and general use and enjoyment of the facility.
