a. The applicant for an event in public facilities or on public property or rights-of-way involving the sale of food or beverages, erection of structures, horses or other large animals, or water aid stations, shall be required to provide a clean-up deposit prior to the issuance of a permit. As an alternative to such deposit, the applicant may provide a written contract for event clean-up.

b. The clean-up deposit shall be returned after the event if the area used for the Event has been cleaned and restored to the same condition as existed prior to the event.

c. If the public facilities, public property or rights-of-way used by the participants have not been fully cleaned or restored, the permittee shall be billed for the actual cost for clean-up and restoration, and the clean-up deposit, or a portion thereof, shall be applied toward payment of the bill. If the permittee disputes the bill, the permittee may appeal to the City Manager within five (5) days after receipt of the bill. Should there be any unexpected balance on deposit after completion of the work, this balance shall be refunded to the permittee. Should the amount of the bill exceed the clean-up deposit, the difference shall become due and payable to the City of Clearlake upon the permittee’s receipt of the bill.

d. Clean up deposits may be waived by the Clearlake City Council for nonprofit organizations. (Ord. #2008-134, S3; Ord. #2012-153)
