The intent of these regulations as hereinafter set out is to assure that such events are produced in a manner that promotes and protects public safety and that are in compliance with certain insurance, business licensing, permitting and other requirements of City ordinances and policies.
[Ord. No. 1143 §2, 3-14-2016]
Any event that is proposed to be held on City right-of-way or City-owned real property shall be subject to the review and approval of the City. For purposes of this section, an "event" is defined as an organized public activity which has a sponsor and which actively solicits participation by the general public. Examples of events include, though not necessarily are limited to, the following: festivals, fairs, carnivals, bazaars, arts and craft shows, parades, running road races, obstacle course races and similar events. An occasion that is private in nature and is generally limited to participation by invitation only shall not be considered an event under this section.
Events that are approved shall be issued a special event permit and shall be subject to certain terms and conditions as may be imposed by the City. The City Administrator is authorized and directed to develop a permit application and review process for such special events.
The permit application shall contain, at minimum, the following:
The name, address and contact information of the person or entity sponsoring the event.
A general description of the event and the City properties/facilities/locations proposed to be used during said event.
A listing of City personal property, if any, proposed to be used in the event. City personal property may include City traffic cones and other traffic control equipment; marking tape, flags and related items; trash cans, etc.

Notwithstanding the above provisions, New Haven Police Officers shall be prohibited from serving as private security personnel for any special event issued a City permit under these provisions.
[Ord. No. 1143 §5, 3-14-2016]

Notwithstanding the above provisions, the City has no duty or obligation to provide City labor/equipment services for any special event.
