+
+The Municipal Code of the City of Moore, OK began in-­house in 2020 with
+the assistance of Municipal Code Corporation. This City Code shall be
+cited as Moore City Code or "MCC" as an acronym. MCC references found
+within the code maintain a structure by subject matter using a decimal
+and hyphenated numbering system which identifies the chapter and section
+(**example: 1-101.01**). This complete set of numbers is designed to aid
+in searching and/or referencing the Municipal Code, and to assist in
+subsequent codification is new ordinances are added to the Municipal
+Code.
+
+- The first number in the sequence designates the **PART** level
+- The second series of numbers (**1**-101) designates the **CHAPTER**
+ level
+- The third series of numbers (1-**101**) designates the **Section**
+ level
+- If a fourth series exists comprising letters or numbers beyond the
+ section level, it designates a **Subsection** level.
+
+To outline, give structure, and more granularly reference the
+legislation herein, the following list order (or pattern of ascending
+alphanumeric characters) is used: **(a), (1), a, 1, i**. Drafting
+legislation with this list order better reconciles the content in local
+software and hard copies, with the content in this online code. The
+legislative history beneath a legislation's content identifies the
+specific legal sources, and may be provided to substantiate the online
+code.
+
+The Municipal Code is supplemented from time­ to ­time with amendments and
+additions made by Moore, Oklahoma. The specific legal sources that
+comprise this Municipal Code have been adopted during the codification
+process from the original formatting of the official hard copy. In the
+event of discrepancies between the online Municipal Code and the
+official hard copy, the official hard copy governs. Municipal Code
+Corporation, provides a searchable database of the Municipal Code for
+easy reference and convenience. NOTICE: THE MUNICIPAL CODE MAY NOT
+REFLECT ALL OR THE MOST CURRENT VERSION OF LEGISLATION ADOPTED BY THE
+CITY COUNCIL THAT HAS YET TO BE UPDATED ONLINE. IN THE EVENT OF CONFLICT
+BETWEEN THE MUNICIPAL CODE AND A WRITTEN ORDINANCE, THE ORDINANCE
+TYPICALLY GOVERNS. ALSO, THE MUNICIPAL CODE MAY NOT REFLECT RULES OR
+OTHER REGULATIONS PROMULGATED UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE CODE, INCLUDING
+TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS. FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT THE CITY CLERK.\

+The city Charter establishes the personnel board and requires three
+members appointed by the council for overlapping six-year terms. It is
+anticipated that, on occasion, an appointed member of the personnel
+board may need to recuse or remove himself from a particular hearing
+because of a conflict of interest. When such occasion arises, the
+council may appoint a temporary replacement to ensure that there are
+three non-biased members to hear all cases. The temporary replacement
+shall be only for a particular case and should be a person who
+demonstrates the requisite impartiality toward the issue to be decided.
+Council may consider selecting and employing a person from a public or
+private agency which offers such services.

+
+1. Purpose. The intent of this section is to protect the health,
+ safety, and welfare of the community and its wildlife by prohibiting
+ the feeding of wild animals and waterfowl on public and private
+ property within the corporate limits of the City of Moore. The
+ feeding of waterfowl and other wild animals increases the potential
+ for damage to public parks and private property. It also elevates
+ the potential for the spread of disease in people and companion
+ animals. In addition, it is the intent of this section to protect
+ the welfare of the waterfowl and wild animals themselves. Wildlife
+ studies have shown that feeding waterfowl and other wild animals can
+ interrupt their normal migration patterns, can make them more
+ aggressive in demanding food, cause nutritional problems, expose
+ them and our citizens to danger by eliminating the animals' natural
+ fear of predators, and promote the spread of diseases and
+ disease-carrying parasites. 
+2. Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have
+ the meanings indicated:[]{.cursor-fix}
+ 1. BIRD FEEDER. A container, receptacle or apparatus designed for
+ the feeding of songbirds or other backyard birds.
+ 2. FEED. To give, place, expose, deposit, distribute or scatter any
+ edible material which can be utilized for consumption by wild
+ animals. Feeding does not include legal baiting for the legal
+ taking of fish and/or game.
+ 3. PERSON. Any individual, corporation, company, partnership, firm,
+ association, or political subdivision of this state subject to
+ municipal jurisdiction.
+ 4. WATERFOWL. Wildfowl of the order Anseriformes, especially
+ members of the family Anatidae which includes any bird that
+ swims, frequents the water, or lives about rivers, lakes, or
+ other bodies of water, including but not limited to ducks,
+ geese, swan and gulls.
+ 5. WILD ANIMAL. Any animal, which is usually not a domestic animal
+ and which can normally be found in the wild state, with or
+ without mean or vicious propensities, including, but not limited
+ to, coyotes, deer, leopards, panthers or other feral cats,
+ bears, wolves, foxes, groundhogs, squirrels, chipmunks, mice,
+ rats, rabbits, opossums, raccoons, skunks, and waterfowl. 
+3. Prohibitions:
+ 1. No person shall purposely or knowingly, feed or in any manner
+ provide access to food to any wild animal or waterfowl within
+ the corporate limits of the City, on lands either publicly or
+ privately owned. Feeding does not include baiting in the legal
+ taking of fish and/or game.
+ 2. Feeding of songbirds and other backyard birds, not including
+ waterfowl, shall be permitted outdoors at such times and in such
+ a manner that:
+ 1. The feeding does not create an unreasonable disturbance with
+ wildlife;
+ 2. Any feed must be placed within a bird feeder with a maximum
+ volume of not more than one cubic foot, placed at least four
+ feet above ground;
+ 3. Bird feeders are placed where wildlife other than songbirds
+ and backyard birds are unable to eat from them and do not
+ become an attractant for wild animals.
+4. PENALTY: Any person violating any of the provisions of this section
+ shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished as provided in Section
+ 1-108.\

+ it would be reasonable and fair to do so, may amend his answer at
+ any time. Both complaints and answers shall be verified.
+3. If, within 30 days after a complaint is filed with the city manager

+ and other evidence or possible sources of evidence and may examine,
+ record, and copy such materials and take and record the testimony or
+ statements of such persons as are reasonably necessary for the

+ of the United States Constitution relating to unreasonable searches
+ and seizures. The city manager may issue subpoenas to compel his
+ access to or the production of such materials, or the appearance of

+ same extent and subject to the same limitations as would apply if
+ the subpoenas or interrogatories were issued or served in aid of a
+ civil action in the United States District Court for the district in
+ which the investigation is taking place. The city manager may
+ administer oaths.
+2. Upon written application to the city manager, a respondent shall be
+ entitled to the issuance of a reasonable number of subpoenas by and
+ in the name of the city manager to the same extent and subject to
+ the same limitations as subpoenas issued by the city manager
+ himself. Subpoenas issued at the request of a respondent shall show
+ on their face the name and address of such respondent and shall
+ state that they were issued at his request.
+3. Witnesses summoned by subpoena of the city manager shall be entitled
+ to the same witness and mileage fees as are witnesses in proceedings
+ in United States District Courts. Fees payable to a witness summoned
+ by a subpoena issued at the request of a respondent shall be paid by
+ him.
+4. Within five days after services of a subpoena upon any person, such
+ person may petition the city manager to revoke or modify the
+ subpoena. The city manager shall grant the petition if he finds that
+ the subpoena requires appearance or attendance at an unreasonable
+ time or place, that it requires production of evidence which does
+ not relate to any matter under investigation, that it does not
+ describe with sufficient particularity the evidence to be produced,
+ that compliance would be unduly onerous, or for other good reason.
+5. In case of contumacy or refusal to obey a subpoena, the city manager
+ or other person at whose request it was issued may petition for its
+ enforcement in the municipal or county district court for the
+ district in which the person to whom the subpoena was addressed
+ resides, was served, or transacts business.
+6. Any person who willfully fails or neglects to attend and testify or
+ to answer any lawful inquiry or to produce records, documents, or
+ other evidence, if in his power to do so, in obedience to the
+ subpoena or lawful order of the city manager shall be punished as
+ provided in section 1-108. Any person who, with intent thereby to

+ exemption or self-insurance as authorized pursuant to the Workers\'
+ Compensation Act. If the city deems it appropriate or necessary, the
+ city may also require other information to be included on the
+ application form to assist the city in registering the person as a
+ contractor. The application shall contain statements that the
+ applicant desires the issuance of a roofing contractor registration
+ certificate; that the applicant will comply with the provisions of
+ this chapter; that the applicant will comply with state laws and
+ local ordinances relating to standards and permits; that the
+ applicant has or has not been registered or licensed as a roofing
+ contractor in another state and whether any disciplinary action was
+ taken against such registration or license or whether it is still in
+ good standing; and that the nonresident applicant appoints the
+ secretary of state as legal service agent for all lawful process to
+ be served upon the applicant for work performed in the state or as
+ otherwise provided in this chapter.
+2. The city shall refuse to register any person if the city determines:
+ 1. The application contains false, misleading, or incomplete
+ information;
+ 2. The applicant fails or refuses to provide any information
+ requested by the city;
+ 3. The applicant fails or refuses to pay the required fees;
+ 4. The applicant is ineligible for registration due to a suspended
+ or revoked registration in the state;
+ 5. The nonresident applicant has a revoked or suspended
+ registration or license required by law for roofing contractors
+ in another state; or
+ 6. The applicant has failed or refuses to submit any taxes due in
+ the state.
+3. The city shall notify the applicant in writing if the city denies a
+ registration or renewal certificate, and shall provide the applicant
+ an opportunity to respond to or cure any defect in the written
+ application or renewal for a period of ten days from the date of the
+ written notification. An applicant aggrieved by a decision of the
+ city denying a registration or renewal may appeal the decision to
+ the city manager as provided in the Administrative Procedures Act
+ (75 O.S. § 250 et seq.), or the applicant may reapply after a 90-day
+ waiting period, if otherwise eligible in the provisions of this
+ chapter. The application and renewal fees shall not be refundable.
+4. The city shall classify as not in good standing the registration of
+ any roofing contractor who fails to:
+ 1. Maintain liability insurance coverage;
+ 2. Maintain workers\' compensation coverage satisfactory under the
+ Workers\' Compensation Act, or provide an affidavit of exemption
+ or self-insurance as authorized pursuant to the Administrative
+ Workers\' Compensation Act (85A O.S. § 1 et seq.);
+ 3. File, renew, or properly amend any fictitious name certificate;
+ 4. Maintain an active status of a corporation or registration as a
+ foreign corporation, a limited liability company or registration
+ as a foreign limited liability company, a limited liability
+ partnership registration or foreign limited liability
+ partnership registration, or a limited partnership certificate
+ or limited partnership or foreign limited partnership
+ certificate of authority, with the office of the secretary of
+ state;
+ 5. File or renew a trade name registration;
+ 6. Maintain or renew a roofing contractor registration as provided
+ in this chapter;
+ 7. Notify the city of a change in name, address, legal business
+ entity, legal service agent, or adjudication by a court of
+ competent jurisdiction for any act or omission specified in 59
+ O.S. § 1151.14(A) or a violation of this chapter;
+ 8. Maintain a registration as required by law in another state
+ while registered in this state as a nonresident roofing
+ contractor; or
+ 9. File and pay all taxes when due in the state.
+5. The city shall send a written notice to the person when his
+ registration is not in good standing. Any roofing contractor who has
+ been notified by the city that his registration is not in good
+ standing shall cease soliciting or entering new roofing services and
+ projects as of the date of such notification; however, the roofing
+ contractor shall be allowed to complete roofing projects where
+ actual physical work has begun prior to the date of issuance of the
+ notice that his registration is not in good standing. If the roofing
+ contractor fails to correct the deficiency specified in the notice
+ by evidence satisfactory to the registrar within 30 days of the date
+ of the notice, or if the roofing contractor solicits or enters into
+ new roofing services contracts or projects while the roofing
+ contractor\'s registration is not in good standing, or while such
+ registration is suspended or revoked, the roofing contractor shall
+ be in violation of the provisions of this chapter. Any registration
+ that remains not in good standing for a 60-day period shall be
+ suspended on the 60th day from the date of issuance of the notice to
+ the roofing contractor that his registration is not in good
+ standing. Any registration that remains not in good standing, and is
+ suspended for such cause, shall be revoked on the 90th day from the
+ date of issuance of the notice to the roofing contractor that his
+ registration is not in good standing. The city shall notify the
+ roofing contractor upon suspension or revocation of his registration
+ for failure to comply in bringing such registration into good
+ standing as required by law. The roofing contractor may reinstate
+ his registration to good standing by paying the required fees
+ provided in section 5-1007 and complying with all other requirements
+ for issuance of a registration in good standing. Any person
+ aggrieved by the decision of the city to suspend or revoke a
+ registration pursuant to this section may appeal such decision to
+ the city manager\'s office.

+ or other electronic means, regardless of whether the sale
+ structure or distribution site is within the state; or
+ 4. By any other means as determined appropriate by the court,
+ including, but not limited to, destruction.\
+ Regardless of the means of disposition, the chief of police
+ shall make a return of the donation or sale and the order of the
+ court confirming the donation or sale shall vest title to the
+ property in the recipient or purchaser. After payment of court
+ costs and other expenses, the remainder of money received from

+ order authorizing him to transfer the money for deposit in the
+ general fund. The application shall describe the money or legal
+ tender, any serial numbers, the date the same came into his
+ possession, and the name of the owner and his address, if known.
+ Upon filing the application which may be joined with an application
+ as described in subsection (C) of this section, a hearing shall be
+ set not less than ten days nor more than 20 days from the filing of
+ the application. Notice of the hearing shall be given as provided
+ for in subsection (D) of this section. The notice shall state that
+ upon failure of anyone to appear to prove ownership to the money or
+ legal tender, the court shall order the same to be deposited in the
+ general fund. The notice may be combined with a notice to sell
+ personal property as provided for in subsection (B) of this section.
+ If no one appears to claim and prove ownership to the money or legal
+ tender at the hearing, the court shall order the same to be
+ transferred to the general fund as provided in this subsection.

+ deadly weapons, narcotic or poisonous drugs, explosives, or any
+ property of any kind or character, which the possession of is
+ prohibited by law, nor to any property for which a specific
+ procedure is otherwise established by law, ordinance or proper

+ specifically designed to treat liquid organic wastes by biological,
+ chemical and physical processes commonly referred to as natural
+ self-purification. It is normally a relatively shallow, diked
+ structure and may receive either raw or pretreated wastes. The
+ satisfactory operation of the process depends upon the growth of
+ algae and like organisms for the production of oxygen through
+ photosynthesis; therefore, conditions must be maintained which are
+ conducive to the growth of algae, such as proper water depth,
+ sufficient dissolved oxygen, and maximum penetration of sunlight.
+2. *Construction.*
+ 1. No waste stabilization lagoons shall be installed or constructed
+ within the limits of the city until and unless the city council
+ has approved the proposal for such construction and
+ installation. The review herein contemplated to be made by the
+ council shall consist of, but not necessarily limited to, the
+ following matters:
+ 1. The location of the lagoon site;
+ 2. Its proximity to residential areas;
+ 3. A consideration of the effect on the surrounding area if the
+ lagoon breaks or its proper operation is interrupted for any
+ cause;
+ 4. The effect of such lagoon on surrounding property values;
+ 5. If the lagoon is not a full retention lagoon, the direction
+ of flow and ultimate disposition of the effluent from
+ overflow.
+ 2. If city council approves a proposed waste stabilization lagoon,
+ construction and installation shall comply with the state
+ department of environmental quality regulations.

+
+After a building has been declared dilapidated as provided in this
+chapter, and before the commencement of the tearing and removal of a
+dilapidated building, the city may cause the building to be boarded and
+secured in accordance with the following procedure. The city may
+determine that a building is unsecured and order that such building be
+boarded and secured in the manner provided for in this section even
+though such building has not been declared by city to be dilapidated.
+
+1. Before the city orders such action, at least ten days\' notice that
+ such unsecured building is to be boarded and secured shall be given
+ by mail to any property owners and mortgage holders as provided in
+ section 8-303. At the time of mailing of notice to any property
+ owners or mortgage holders, the city clerk shall obtain a receipt of
+ mailing from the postal service, which receipt shall indicate the
+ date of the mailing and the name and address of the mailee. A copy
+ of the notice shall also be posted on the property to be affected.
+ However, if neither the property owner nor mortgage holder can be
+ located, notice may be given by posting a copy of the notice on the
+ property or by publication as defined in 11 O.S. § 1-102. Such
+ notice shall be published one time, not less than ten days prior to
+ any hearing or action by the city pursuant to the provisions of this
+ section. If the administrative officer anticipates summary abatement
+ of a nuisance in accordance with the provisions of this section, the
+ notice shall state that: any subsequent need for boarding and
+ securing the building within a six-month period after the initial
+ boarding and securing of the building pursuant to such notice may be
+ summarily boarded and secured by the city, that the costs of such
+ boarding and securing shall be assessed against the owner, and that
+ a lien may be imposed on the property to secure such payment, all
+ without further prior notice to the property owners or mortgage
+ holders;
+2. The owner of the property may give his written consent to the city
+ authorizing the boarding and securing of such unsecured building and
+ to the payment of any costs incurred thereby. By giving the written
+ consent, the owner waives his right to a hearing as provided in this
+ section;
+3. If the property owner does not give his written consent to such
+ actions, a hearing may be held by the administrative officer to
+ determine whether the boarding and securing would promote and
+ benefit the public health, safety or welfare. Such hearing may be
+ held in conjunction with a hearing on the accumulation of trash or
+ the growth of weeds or grass on the premises of such unsecured
+ building held pursuant to this Code. In making such determination,
+ the administrative officer shall apply the following standard: the
+ administrative officer may order the boarding and securing of the
+ unsecured building when the boarding and securing thereof would make
+ such building less available for transient occupation, decrease a
+ fire hazard created by such building, or decrease the hazard that
+ such building would constitute an attractive nuisance to children.
+ Upon making such a determination, the administrative officer may
+ order the boarding and securing of the unsecured building;
+4. After the administrative officer orders the boarding and securing of
+ such unsecured building, the city clerk shall immediately file a
+ notice of unsecured building and lien with the county clerk
+ describing the property, stating the findings of the city at the
+ hearing at which the building was determined to be unsecured, and
+ stating that the city claims a lien on the property for the costs of
+ boarding and securing the building and that such costs are the
+ personal obligation of the property owner from and after the date of
+ filing the notice;
+5. Pursuant to the order of the administrative officer, the agents of
+ the city are granted the right of entry on the property for the
+ performance of the boarding and securing of such building and for
+ the performance of all necessary duties as a governmental function
+ of the city;
+6. After an unsecured building has been boarded and secured, the
+ administrative officer shall determine the actual costs of such
+ actions and any other expenses that may be necessary in conjunction
+ therewith, including the cost of the notice and mailing. The city
+ clerk shall forward a statement of the actual costs attributable to
+ the boarding and securing of the unsecured building and a demand for
+ payment of such costs by mail to any property owners and mortgage
+ holders as provided in section 8-303. At the time of mailing of the
+ statement of costs to any property owners or mortgage holders, the
+ city clerk shall obtain a receipt of mailing from the postal
+ service, which receipt shall indicate the date of mailing and the
+ name and address of the mailee;
+7. If the city boards and secures any unsecured building, the cost to
+ the property owner shall not exceed the actual cost of the labor,
+ materials and equipment required for the performance of such
+ actions. If such actions are done on a private contract basis, the
+ contract shall be awarded to the lowest and best bidder;
+8. When payment is made to the city for costs incurred, the city clerk
+ shall file a release of lien, but if payment attributable to the
+ actual costs of the boarding and securing of the unsecured building
+ is not made within 30 days from the date of the mailing of the
+ statement to the owner of the property, the city clerk shall forward
+ a certified statement of the amount of the costs to the county
+ treasurer of the county in which the property is located. The costs
+ shall be levied on the property and collected by the county
+ treasurer as are other taxes authorized by law. Until fully paid,
+ the costs and the interest thereon shall be the personal obligation
+ of the property owner from and after the date the notice of
+ unsecured building and lien is filed with the county clerk. The lien
+ shall be coequal with the lien of ad valorem taxes and all other
+ taxes and special assessments and shall be prior and superior to all
+ other titles and liens against the property, and shall continue
+ until the costs and interest are fully paid. At any time prior to
+ collection as provided herein, the city may pursue any civil remedy
+ for collection of the amount owing and interest thereon, including
+ an action in personam against the property owner and an action in
+ rem to foreclose its lien against the property. A mineral interest
+ if severed from the surface owner shall not be subject to any tax or
+ judgment lien created pursuant to this section. Upon receipt of
+ payment in full, the city clerk shall forward to the county
+ treasurer a notice of such payment and direct discharge of the lien;
+9. An appeal may be taken from the decision of the administrative
+ officer to the city council if filed in writing with the city clerk
+ within ten days after the administrative order is rendered;
+10. If the city causes a structure to be boarded and secured, in
+ accordance with the procedures provided for in this section, any
+ subsequent need for boarding and securing the property within a
+ six-month period may be declared a nuisance and may be summarily
+ abated without prior notice to the property owner. At the time of
+ such summary abatement, the city clerk shall notify the property
+ owner of the boarding and securing and of the costs thereof. The
+ notice shall state that the property owner may request a hearing
+ within ten days from the date of mailing the notice. The notice and
+ hearing shall be as provided in this section. Unless otherwise
+ determined at the hearing, the cost of such abatement shall be
+ determined and collected as provided in this section. This section
+ shall not apply if the records of the county clerk show that the
+ property was transferred after notice was given pursuant to this
+ section.

+ holding, conducting, causing or participating in any parade, street

+3. Permits shall not be required under this section in the case of

+ when, from a consideration of the application and from such other
+ information as may otherwise be obtained, he finds that:
+ 1. The conduct of the parade will not substantially interrupt the
+ safe and orderly movement of other traffic contiguous to its
+ route;
+ 2. The conduct of the parade will not require the diversion of so
+ great a number of police officers of the city to properly police
+ the line of movement and the areas contiguous thereto as to
+ prevent normal police protection to the city;
+ 3. The conduct of such parade will not require the diversion of so
+ great a number of ambulances as to prevent normal ambulance
+ service to portions of the city other than that to be occupied
+ by the proposed line of march and areas contiguous thereto;
+ 4. The concentration of persons, animals and vehicles at assembly
+ points of the parade will not unduly interfere with proper fire
+ and police protection of, or ambulance service to, areas
+ contiguous to such assembly areas;
+ 5. The conduct of such parade will not interfere with the movement
+ of firefighting equipment en route to a fire;
+ 6. The conduct of the parade is not reasonably likely to cause
+ injury to persons or property, to provoke disorderly conduct or
+ create a disturbance; and
+ 7. The parade is scheduled to move from its point of origin to its
+ point of termination expeditiously and without unreasonable
+ delays en route.
+6. The city manager, in such cases as shall be determined in his
+ discretion, may require as a condition to the issuance of a permit
+ herein such insurance or bond holding the city harmless from any and
+ all liability for injury or damage of any kind whatsoever occurring
+ during such activity covered by the permit.
+7. Without regard to the above provision of this section, the city
+ manager, from his consideration of available, appropriate and
+ necessary information, shall deny the application for a permit
+ provided for by this section when, from this information, he has
+ reason to believe that any contemplated advocacy at the proposed
+ event will be directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless
+ action and will likely incite or produce such action.
+8. The city manager, in denying an application for a parade permit, may
+ authorize the conduct of the parade on a date, at a time or over a
+ route different from that named by the applicant. An applicant
+ desiring to accept an alternate permit shall so indicate within five
+ days after notice of the action of the city manager. An alternate

+ reasonably affect the ordinary use of public streets, rights-of-way
+ or sidewalks, or (2) include the erection of any temporary structure
+ (inflatables/bouncy toys, or tents or canopies larger than 400
+ square feet, etc.) where the public is invited, or (3) include the
+ sale or consumption of alcoholic beverages on a premises not
+ currently licensed by the state for the sale or consumption of
+ alcohol on the premises where the public is invited. This includes,
+ but is not limited to, fairs, festivals, foot races, bike races,
+ block parties, grand opening celebrations, and other temporary
+ assemblages of people. The term \"expressive special event\" means a
+ special event as defined above, organized or conducted solely or
+ primarily for the purpose of engaging in speech protected by the
+ First Amendment of the United States Constitution. The term
+ \"spontaneous expressive event\" shall mean an expressive special
+ event that is occasioned by news, affairs, or circumstances coming
+ into public knowledge less than five days prior to the date of such
+ event.
+ 1. No person, organization, business or corporation shall conduct
+ any type of special event as defined above without a special
+ event permit from the city.
+ 2. An application for a special event shall be submitted to the
+ city no later than 30 days prior to the proposed event. In the
+ event of an expressive special event, the application must be
+ submitted within five business days prior to the proposed event.
+ In the event of a spontaneous expressive event, the event must
+ not present a substantial safety or traffic hazard and must not
+ unduly impede, obstruct, impair or interfere with the public\'s
+ use of the street or other public property, the operation of
+ emergency vehicles, the provision of the city services, or any
+ lawful competing use of the location where the event is located.
+ If any portion of the preceding cannot be met, then the event
+ organizer must make a diligent and good faith effort to relocate
+ the event to another location. If the location cannot be
+ relocated due to the special communicative value of the event\'s
+ location or the unavailability of another location, then the
+ chief of police shall take appropriate action to the extent
+ reasonably necessary to eliminate the hazard, risk,
+ interference, or impairment; provided however, that the chief of
+ police shall not order the area cleared or the cessation of
+ spontaneous expressive activities unless reasonably necessary to
+ avoid imminent danger to person or property. Applicants may file
+ application as early as desired by the applicant.
+ 3. Reasons for denial of a special events permit include, but are
+ not limited to, the event will disrupt traffic within the city
+ beyond practical solution; will interfere with access to fire
+ stations and the fire hydrants; the location of the special
+ event will cause undue hardship to adjacent businesses or
+ residents; the event would require the diversion of so many
+ city, public safety and/or and public works employees that
+ allowing the event would unreasonably deny service to the
+ remainder of the city; and the application contains incomplete
+ or false information.
+ 4. This section shall not be construed as imposing upon the city or
+ its officials or employees any liability or responsibility for
+ any injury or damages to any person in any way connected to the
+ use for which permits have been issued. The city and its
+ officials and employees shall not be deemed to have assumed any
+ liability or responsibility by reasons of inspections performed,
+ the issuance of any permit or the approval of any use of the
+ right-of-way.
+ 5. A special event permit may be issued only after adequate waste
+ disposal facilities and toilet facilities as necessary have been
+ identified and obtained by the permittee. The permittee will
+ clean their property, city property and any adjacent properties
+ of trash, rubbish, or debris generated by the special event,
+ returning it to its pre-event condition within 24 hours of the
+ conclusion of the event. If the permittee fails to clean up such
+ refuse, such clean up shall be as required by law or other
+ sections of this Code and the costs charged to the permittee.
+ 6. The permittee shall obtain other permits that may be required
+ from other jurisdictions for this special event.

+ compression and rarefaction of that medium, and which propagates at
+ finite speed to distant points and can evoke an auditory sensation.\
+ *\
+ Sound level meter* means an instrument which includes a microphone,
+ amplifier, RMS detector, integrator or time averager, output meter,
+ and weighing networks used to measure sound pressure levels.\
+ *\
+ Sound pressure* means the instantaneous difference between the
+ actual pressure and the average barometric pressure at a given point
+ in space, as produced by sound energy.\
+ *\
+ Sound pressure level* means 20 times the logarithm to the base ten
+ of the ratio of the RMS sound pressure to the reference pressure of
+ 20 micropascals (20 x 10 - 6) n/m2). The sound pressure level is

+1. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section,
+ shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except
+ where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:\
+ *\
+ Minor* means any person under the age of 18.\
+ *\
+ Parent* means any person having legal custody of a minor as a:
+ 1. Natural or adoptive parent;
+ 2. Legal guardian;
+ 3. Person who stands in loco parentis; or

+ court.
+
+ *Public place* means any street, alley, highway, sidewalk, park,

+ right to resort for business, entertainment, or other lawful
+ purpose. A public place shall include, but not be limited to, any

+ include the front or immediate area of the above.\
+ *\
+ Remain* means to stay behind, to tarry and to stay unnecessarily
+ upon the streets, including the congregating of groups (or of
+ interacting minors) totaling four or more persons in which any minor
+ involved would not be using the streets for ordinary or serious
+ purposes such as mere passage or going home.\
+ *\
+ Street* means a way or place, of whatsoever nature, open to the use
+ of the public as a matter of right for purposes of vehicular travel
+ or in the case of a sidewalk thereof for pedestrian travel. The term
+ \"street\" includes the legal right-of-way, including, but not
+ limited to, the cartway or traffic lanes, the curb, the sidewalks,
+ whether paved or unpaved, and any grass plots or other grounds found
+ within the legal right-of-way of a street.\
+ *\
+ Time of night* referred to here is based upon the prevailing
+ standard of time, whether Central Standard Time or Central Daylight
+ Saving Time, generally observed at that hour by the public.\
+ *\
+ Year of age* continues from one birthday, such as the 17th to (but
+ not including the day of) the next, such as the 18th birthday,
+ making it clear that 17 or less years of age is herein treated as
+ equivalent to the phrase \"under 18 years of age.\"
+2. It shall be unlawful for any person 17 or less years of age
+ (under 18) to be or remain in or upon the streets or public places
+ within the city at night during the period ending 5:00 a.m. and
+ beginning:
+ 1. At 11:00 p.m. for minors on Sunday through Thursday; and
+ 2. At 1:00 a.m. on Saturday morning and Sunday morning for minors.
+3. In the following exceptional cases, a minor on a city street or in a
+ public place during the nocturnal hours for which this section is
+ intended to provide the maximum limits of regulation does not
+ constitute a violation of the curfew regulations:
+ 1. When accompanied by a parent of such minor;
+ 2. When accompanied by an adult authorized by a parent of such
+ minor to take the parent\'s place accompanying the minor for a
+ designated period of time, date and purpose within a specified
+ area. The authorized adult shall possess a written communication
+ signed by the minor and countersigned by the parent/legal
+ guardian of such minor which includes their home address and
+ telephone number. The authorized adult shall have this
+ communication from the minor\'s parent/guardian in his
+ possession;
+ 3. When exercising First Amendment rights protected by the United
+ States Constitution, such as the free exercise of religion,
+ freedom of speech and the right of assembly. Such minor shall
+ evidence the bona fides of such exercise by possessing a written
+ communication, signed by such minor and countersigned by a
+ parent or legal guardian of such minor with their home address
+ and telephone number, specifying times and dates when, and
+ where, and in what manner the minor will be on the streets and
+ other public places at night (during hours when the curfew
+ regulations are otherwise applicable to the minor) in the
+ exercise of a First Amendment right specified in such
+ communication;
+ 4. The minor is on an errand, specific business or activity of an
+ emergency nature directed or permitted by his parent;
+ 5. If the minor has in the minor\'s possession a written
+ communication signed by the minor and countersigned by a parent
+ or legal guardian of such minor evidencing their home address
+ and telephone number, and establishing such reason relating to a
+ direct route for a designated time for a described purpose
+ including points of origin and destination. Each communication
+ will also note the date and time limits the reason will
+ encompass;
+ 6. When the minor is on the sidewalk of the place where such minor
+ resides, or on the sidewalk of either next-door neighbor not
+ communicating an objection to the police officer;
+ 7. When returning home, by a direct route, from (and within 45
+ minutes of the termination of) a school activity, or an activity
+ of a religious or the voluntary association, provided the minor
+ has a written communication in the minor\'s possession,
+ countersigned by the parent or legal guardian indicating the
+ home address and telephone number, the purpose for the event,
+ and when, where and in what manner the minor will be on the
+ streets at night;
+ 8. Upon being petitioned, the city council may authorize by
+ regulation a relaxation of the curfew in other matters of
+ reasonable necessity and is determined to be consistent with the
+ public interest and the purposes of these curfew regulations.
+ Normally, such regulation by the city council permitting use of
+ the streets or public places should be issued sufficiently in
+ advance to permit appropriate notification of agencies, such as
+ the schools, and the media when appropriate. The regulation
+ shall define the activity, the scope of the use of the streets
+ or public places permitted, and the period of time involved, not
+ to extend more than 45 minutes beyond the time for termination
+ of such activity;
+ 9. When the minor is within the scope of his employment and carries
+ a certified card or some other form indicating employment,
+ briefly identifying the minor, the addresses and telephone
+ numbers of his home and his place of employment and his hours of
+ employment or carries a valid proof of employment; or
+ 10. Whenever the minor is engaged in interstate or intrastate
+ vehicular travel with consent of his parent or legal guardian.
+ This contemplates normal travel and clearly exempts bona fide
+ interstate movement through the city, particularly on normal
+ routes.
+4. It shall be unlawful for a parent, or other person, having legal
+ custody of a minor knowingly to permit, or by inefficient control to
+ allow, such a minor to be or remain upon any city street or public
+ place under circumstances not constituting an exception to, or
+ otherwise beyond the scope of, the curfew regulations. The term
+ \"knowingly\" includes knowledge which a parent, or legal guardian,
+ should reasonably be expected to have concerning the whereabouts of
+ a minor in that parent\'s or person\'s legal custody. It is intended
+ to continue to keep neglectful or careless parents or legal
+ guardians up to a reasonable community standard of parental
+ responsibility through an objective test. It shall be no defense
+ that a parent was completely indifferent to the activities or
+ conduct or whereabouts of such minor.
+5. A police officer of the city, upon finding or having attention
+ called to any minor on the streets in prima facie violation of the
+ curfew regulations, normally shall take the minor to the city police
+ station, or other place designated by the chief of police, where a
+ parent, or legal guardian, shall immediately be notified to come for
+ such minor, whereupon they may be questioned about the necessary
+ facts constituting a violation of these regulations. In the absence
+ of convincing evidence such as a birth certificate, a police officer
+ on the street shall in the first instance use his best judgment in
+ determining age. In the case of a first violation by a minor, the
+ municipal court shall cause to be personally delivered or, by
+ certified mail, sent to a parent, or legal guardian, written notice
+ of the violation with a warning that any subsequent violation will
+ result in full enforcement of the curfew regulations, including
+ enforcement of parental responsibility and of applicable penalties.
+6. If, after the warning notice pursuant to subsection (E) of this
+ section of a first violation by a minor, a parent or legal guardian
+ violates the section (in connection with a second violation by the
+ minor), this shall be treated as an offense by the parent or legal
+ guardian. The penalty, upon a plea of guilty, nolo contendere, or
+ finding of guilt, shall be punished as provided in section 1-108, or
+ a term of community service.

+The term \"false alarm\" means the activation of an alarm system through
+mechanical failure, malfunction, the negligence of the alarm business
+operator or his employees or agents, or the negligence of the owner,
+user or lessee of an alarm system or his employees or agents, or which
+otherwise elicits a response by a law enforcement agency or the fire
+department when a situation requiring such response does not in fact
+exist. The term \"false alarm\" shall also mean the activation of an
+alarm, the purpose of which is to communicate or indicate a specific
+emergency situation when in fact that specific emergency situation does
+not exist. The term \"false alarm\" does not include, for example,
+alarms activated by utility line mishaps, tornados, earthquakes, or
+other violent conditions of nature, or other conditions clearly beyond
+the control of the alarm manufacturer, installer, owner or user.
+
+1. False alarms include those caused by:
+ 1. *Error* or *mistakes*. Any action by any person, firm or
+ corporation, or other entity or agent thereof, owning or
+ operating any dwelling, building or place, which results in the
+ activation of any alarm system when no emergency exists;
+ 2. *Malfunction*. Any activation of any alarm system caused by a
+ flaw in the normal operation, design, installation, or
+ maintenance of the system, by faulty equipment or by a change in
+ the environment or premises upon or within which the alarm
+ system is operating;
+ 3. *Intentional misuse*. Any intentional activation of an alarm
+ system when no burglary, robbery, vandalism, fire or other
+ emergency is in progress.
+2. An alarm will not be considered a false alarm if it is determined
+ that the alarm was caused by:
+ 1. Natural or manmade catastrophe, or an act of God. Such events
+ include tornadoes, floods, earthquakes or other similarly
+ violent conditions;
+ 2. Vandalism, causing physical damage to the premises;
+ 3. Telephone line outage;
+ 4. Attempted entry of a location causing visible, physical or other
+ evidence of damage to the location;
+ 5. Severe weather causing physical damage to the premises; or
+ 6. The testing of a local/audible alarm system by a licensed alarm
+ business agent or employee who is present at the premises
+ servicing, repairing or installing the alarm when such testing

+ requested by the city;
+ 3. The applicant fails or refuses to pay the required fees;
+ 4. The applicant is ineligible for registration due to a suspended

+ registration or renewal certificate, and shall provide the applicant
+ an opportunity to respond to or cure any defect in the written
+ application or renewal for a period of ten days from the date of the
+ written notification. An applicant aggrieved by a decision of the
+ city denying a registration or renewal may appeal the decision to
+ the city manager as provided in the Administrative Procedures Act,
+ or the applicant may reapply after a 90-day waiting period, if
+ otherwise eligible in the provisions of this chapter. The
+ application and renewal fees shall not be refundable.
+4. The city shall classify as not in good standing the registration of
+ any contractor who fails to:

+ or self-insurance as authorized pursuant to the Workers\'
+ Compensation Act;
+ 3. File, renew, or properly amend any fictitious name certificate;

+1. Unless otherwise provided by law, no motor vehicle shall be operated
+ within the city unless there is in effect with respect to such
+ vehicle security for the payment of loss resulting from the
+ liability imposed by law for bodily injury, death and property
+ damage sustained by any person arising out of the ownership,
+ maintenance, operation or use of the vehicle. Every person, while
+ operating or using a motor vehicle within the city which is not
+ owned by such person, shall maintain in force security for the
+ bodily injury, death or property damage sustained by any person
+ arising out of the operation or use of the vehicle, unless such
+ security has been provided by the owner in accordance with this
+ section which does not exclude the person from coverage. Proof of
+ such security shall be carried in the vehicle at all times and shall
+ be produced for inspection upon request by any law enforcement
+ officer or representative of the department of public safety and, in
+ case of collision, such proof shall be shown upon request of any
+ person affected by the collision.
+2. The following shall not be required to carry an owner\'s or
+ operator\'s security verification form or an equivalent form from
+ the department of public safety during operation of the vehicle:
+ 1. Any vehicle owned or leased by the federal or state government,
+ or any agency or political subdivision thereof;
+ 2. Any vehicle bearing the name, symbol or logo of a business,
+ corporation or utility on the exterior, and which is in

+ Compulsory Insurance Law* means the law requiring liability
+ insurance in conjunction with the operation of a motor vehicle in

+ *\
+ Online verification system for motor vehicle insurance* is an online
+ verification system for motor vehicle liability policies as required
+ by the Compulsory Insurance Law which is provided and maintained by

+ traffic stop or accident investigation, shall access information
+ from the online verification system to verify the current validity
+ of the policy described on a security verification form produced by
+ the operator of each motor vehicle during the traffic stop or
+ accident investigation. If compliance is not confirmed for the
+ policy described on the security verification form produced by the
+ operator and a subsequent investigation conducted by the officer
+ verifies that the operator is not in compliance or if no security
+ verification form is produced, the officer shall issue a citation to
+ the operator for failure to comply with the Compulsory Insurance
+ Law. Establishing compliance with the Compulsory Insurance Law
+ through the online verification system shall not be the primary
+ cause for law enforcement to stop a motor vehicle.\
+ *\
+ Operator\'s policy* means an operator\'s policy of liability
+ insurance which shall insure the named person against loss from the
+ liability imposed upon him by law for damages arising out of the
+ operation or use by him of any motor vehicle not owned by him,
+ subject to the same limits of liability required in an owner\'s
+ policy.\
+ *\
+ Owner\'s policy* means an owner\'s policy of liability insurance
+ which:
+ 1. Shall designate by explicit description or by appropriate
+ reference all vehicles with respect to which coverage is thereby
+ to be granted;
+ 2. Shall insure the person named therein and insure any other
+ person, except as provided in subsection (3) of this definition,
+ using an insured vehicle with the express or implied permission
+ of the named insured, against loss from the liability imposed by
+ law for damages arising out of the ownership, maintenance,
+ operation or use of such vehicle;
+ 3. May provide for exclusions from coverage in accordance with
+ existing laws; and
+ 4. Shall be issued by an authorized carrier providing coverage in
+ accordance with 47 O.S. § 7-204.
+
+ *Security* means:
+ 1. A policy or bond meeting the requirements of 47 O.S. § 7-204;
+ 2. A deposit of cash or securities having the equivalency of limits
+ required under 47 O.S. § 7-330 as acceptable limits for a policy
+ or bond; or
+ 3. Self-insurance, pursuant to the provisions of 47 O.S. § 7-503,

+ department shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction,
+ shall be subject to a fine as provided in section 1-108 and court
+ costs.
+5. The nonresident owner of a motor vehicle not registered in the state
+ may give proof of financial responsibility by providing proof of
+ compliance with the financial responsibility laws of the state in
+ which the vehicle is registered or by filing with the department of
+ public safety a certificate of an insurance company authorized to
+ transact insurance in the state in which the vehicle is registered,
+ or if such nonresident does not own a motor vehicle, then in the
+ state in which the insured resides, provided such certificate
+ otherwise conforms to the provisions of this section, and the
+ department of public safety shall accept the same upon condition
+ that the insurance company complies with the following provisions
+ with respect to the policy so certified:
+ 1. The insurance company shall execute a power of attorney
+ authorizing the department to accept service on its behalf or
+ notice of process in any action arising out of a motor vehicle
+ accident in the state; and
+ 2. The insurance company shall agree in writing that such policies
+ shall be deemed to conform with the laws of the state relating
+ to the terms of motor vehicle liability policies issued in the
+ state.
+
+ The provisions of this section shall apply to nonresident owners and
+ operators of vehicles that are not registered in the state only if
+ the state in which the vehicle is registered requires compulsory
+ liability insurance. In such cases, compliance with the requirements
+ of the law of the state of registration shall be deemed in
+ compliance with the laws of the state.
+6. A sentence imposed for any violation of this section may be
+ suspended or deferred in whole or in part by the court.
+7. Any person producing proof in court that a current security
+ verification form or equivalent form which has been issued by the
+ department reflecting this liability coverage for such person was in
+ force at the time of the alleged offense shall be entitled to
+ dismissal of such charge. Any person producing proof in court that a
+ current security verification form or equivalent form which has been
+ issued by the department of public safety reflecting liability
+ coverage for the person was in force at the time of the alleged
+ offense shall be entitled to dismissal of the charge. If proof of
+ security verification is presented to the court by no later than the
+ business day preceding the first scheduled court appearance date,
+ the dismissal shall be without payment of court costs. The court may
+ access information from the online verification system to confirm
+ liability coverage. The court shall not dismiss the fine unless
+ proof that liability coverage for the person was in force at the
+ time of the alleged offense is presented to the court.
+8. Upon conviction, bond forfeiture or deferral of sentence, the court
+ clerk shall forward an abstract to the state department of public
+ safety within five days reflecting the action taken by the court.

+ 1. Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop at a clearly
+ marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on
+ the near side of the intersection, or, if none, then before
+ entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until
+ indication to proceed is shown. However, vehicles in the right

+ vehicle having any metal tire in contact with the roadway, except
+ when authorized by special permit.
+
+3. 1. Any tire on a vehicle moved on a highway shall not have on its
+ periphery any block, stud, flange, cleat or spike or any other
+ protuberance of any material other than rubber which projects
+ beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire, except
+ that it shall be permissible:
+ 1. To use farm tractors or implements of husbandry with tires
+ having protuberances which will not injure the highway;
+ 2. To use tire chains of reasonable proportions upon any
+ vehicle when required for safety because of snow, ice, or
+ other conditions tending to cause a vehicle to skid; or
+ 3. For pneumatic tires equipped with or having on their
+ periphery studs of metal, porcelain or other material to be
+ sold or used in the state, if constructed to provide
+ resiliency upon contact with the road surface, so that not
+ more than three percent in the aggregate of the traction
+ surface of such tire is composed of such studs and so that
+ such studs do not project more than three thirty-seconds of
+ an inch beyond the tread of the traction surface of such
+ tire and have a rate of wear which will so limit such
+ projection.
+ 2. The exceptions permitted in subsection (C)(1) of this section
+ shall be subject to the following restrictions:
+ 1. The use of such tires or tire chains shall be limited to
+ vehicles with rated capacities up to and including two tons;
+ 2. Any tire so equipped shall not be used on a public highway
+ earlier than November 1 of each year or later than April 1
+ of the following year; and
+ 3. Copies of this subsection (C) shall be posted in all places
+ at which tires or tire chains are sold, and a printed or
+ written warning on the time limitation for the use of such
+ tires or tire chains shall be furnished to each buyer,
+ purchaser, or user by the seller of such studded tires or
+ tire chains.
+
+4. Operator selectable \"on demand\" studded tires having
+ traction-enhancing studs located outside the normal tread area which
+ allows their operation as conventional tires on dry roads or as
+ studded tires on ice-coated roads by the expedient of reducing or
+ increasing the air pressure within the tires, shall be exempt from
+ the prohibitions of subsection (C) of this section with the
+ following exceptions:
+ 1. The use of such tires shall be limited to vehicles with rated
+ capacities up to and including two tons;
+ 2. Any such tire shall not be deflated so that the studs lower and
+ make contact with the road surface earlier than November 1 of
+ each year or later than April 1 of the following year.
+
+5. A person shall not operate any vehicle when one or more of the tires
+ in use on that vehicle is in unsafe operating condition or has a
+ tread depth less than two-thirty-seconds inch measured in any two
+ adjacent tread grooves at three equally spaced intervals around the
+ circumference of the tire, provided such measurements shall not be
+ made at the location of any tread wear indicator, tie bar, hump, or
+ fillet. As used in this subsection, an unsafe tire includes, but is
+ not limited to, any tire:
+ 1. On which the ply or cord is exposed in the tread area;
+ 2. Which has been regrooved or recut below the original groove
+ depth, except tires that have been designed with under-rubber
+ sufficient for regrooving and are so marked;
+ 3. Marked \"Farm Implement Only,\" \"Not for Highway Use,\" or any
+ other marking that would indicate that the tire is not for
+ normal highway use, provided no such marking shall be altered or
+ removed;
+ 4. On which any bulges, bumps, or knots show in the tread or
+ sidewall area; or
+ 5. On the front steering axle of a truck-tractor which has tread
+ depth measuring less than four-thirty-seconds inch.
+
+6. Every wheel on a vehicle shall not be cracked and shall be securely
+ fastened to the hub of the vehicle with all lug nuts properly
+ affixed.
+
+7. No vehicle or combination of vehicles, weighing eight tons or more,
+ loaded or unloaded, shall be driven or moved on Eastern Avenue,
+ between SW 34th Street and Indian Hills Road, within the corporate
+ limits of the city. This subsection shall not apply to vehicles
+ owned and operated by public utility corporations or the city while
+ such vehicles are being used in the performance of their official
+ duties.

+1. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section,
+ shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except
+ where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:\
+ *Child passenger restraint system* means an infant or child
+ passenger restraint system that meets the federal standards as set
+ by 49 CFR 571.213.
+2. Every driver when transporting a child under eight years of age in a
+ motor vehicle operated on the roadways, streets, or highways of the
+ state, shall provide for the protection of said child by properly
+ using a child passenger restraint system as follows:
+ 1. A child under four years of age shall be properly secured in a
+ child passenger restraint system. The child passenger restraint
+ system shall be rear-facing until the child reaches two years of
+ age or until the child reaches the weight or height limit of the
+ rear-facing child passenger restraint system, whichever occurs
+ first.
+ 2. A child at least four years of age but younger than eight years
+ of age, if not taller than four feet nine inches in height,
+ shall be properly secured in either a child passenger restraint
+ system or child booster seat.
+ 3. If a child is eight years of age or is taller than four feet
+ nine inches in height, a seat belt properly secured to the
+ vehicle shall be sufficient to meet the requirement of this
+ section.
+3. This section shall not apply to:
+ 1. The driver of a school bus, taxicab, moped, motorcycle, or other
+ motor vehicle not required to be equipped with safety belts
+ pursuant to city ordinance, state statute, or federal law;
+ 2. The driver of an ambulance or emergency vehicle;
+ 3. A driver of a vehicle if all of the seat belts in the vehicle
+ are in use;
+ 4. The transportation of children who for medical reasons are
+ unable to be placed in such devices, provided there is written
+ documentation from a physician of such medical reason;
+ 5. The transportation of a child who weighs more than 40 pounds and
+ who is being transported in the back seat of a vehicle while
+ wearing only a lap safety belt when the back seat is not
+ properly equipped with combination lap and shoulder safety
+ belts, or when the combination lap and shoulder safety belts in
+ the back seat are being used by other children who weigh more
+ than 40 pounds; provided, however, for purposes of this
+ subsection, the term \"back seat\" shall include all seats
+ located behind the front seat of a vehicle operated by a
+ licensed child care facility or church; Provided further, there
+ shall be a rebuttable presumption that a child has met the
+ weight requirements of this subsection if, at the request of any
+ law enforcement officer, the licensed child care facility or
+ church provides the officer with a written statement verified by
+ the parent or legal guardian that the child weighs more than 40
+ pounds.
+4. A law enforcement officer is hereby authorized to stop a vehicle if
+ it appears that the driver of the vehicle has violated the provision
+ of this section and to give an oral warning to the driver. The
+ warning shall advise the driver of the possible danger to children
+ resulting from the failure to install or use a child passenger
+ restraint system or seat belts in the motor vehicle.
+5. A violation of the provisions of this section shall not be
+ admissible as evidence in any civil action or proceeding for
+ damages. In any action brought by or on behalf of an infant for
+ personal injuries or wrongful death sustained by motor vehicle
+ collision, the failure of any person to have the infant properly
+ restrained in accordance with the provisions of this section shall
+ not be used in aggravation or mitigation of damages.
+6. Any person convicted of violating this section shall be punished by
+ a fine of \$50.00, or the maximum amount allowed by state law,
+ whichever is greater, and shall pay court costs. This fine shall be
+ suspended in the case of the first offense upon proof of purchase or
+ acquisition by loan of a child passenger restraint system. The fine
+ need not be suspended if the child was being transported in a motor
+ vehicle already equipped with a child passenger restraint system.

+2. No person shall drive any vehicle upon a street at a speed greater
+ than will permit him to bring it to a stop within the assured clear
+ distance ahead.
+3. Except when a special hazard exists that requires lower speed for
+ compliance with subsection (A) of this section, the limits specified
+ in this chapter or established as authorized shall be maximum lawful
+ speeds. No person shall drive a vehicle on a highway at a speed in
+ excess of such maximum limits as follows:
+ 1. 25 miles per hour on any street, except as may be posted
+ otherwise; and
+ 2. 25 miles per hour in any designated school zone under the

+5. The fact that the speed of a vehicle is lower than the designated
+ limits shall not relieve the driver from the duty to decrease speed
+ when approaching and crossing an intersection, when approaching and
+ going around a curve, when approaching a hill crest, when traveling
+ upon any narrow winding roadway, or when a special hazard exists

+ necessary to avoid colliding with any person or vehicle or on
+ entering the roadway in compliance with legal requirement and the
+ duty of all persons to use due care and precaution.
+6. The driver of every vehicle shall, consistent with the requirements
+ of subsection (A) of this section, drive at an appropriate reduced
+ speed when approaching and crossing an intersection or railway grade

+17. \"Volumetric Rate" shall mean Three Percent (3%) of the Calculated
+ Value of Transport Gas as determined by Grantee in accordance with
+ the provisions of this definition. The Volumetric Rate Calculation
+ Form incorporated herein as Exhibit "A" shall be used for the

+ enacts an ordinance as described in Paragraph 3.B(1) below, the
+ three percent (3%) multiplier labeled "3% Bundled Franchise Fee

+ immediately preceding the July 31 calculation. The average
+ Settlement Prices for each month during said twelve-month period
+ shall be calculated by adding the Settlement Prices for such month
+ and the previous eleven (11) months as published and dividing by
+ twelve. The average Settlement Prices for each of the twelve months
+ shall then be summed and divided by twelve to determine the average

+ "Inside FERC's Gas Market Report" published on the first business
+ day of the respective month ("Platt's Index price"), then the
+ Platt's Index price shall be used to calculate the Volumetric Rate
+ for that delivery month in lieu of the average of the average
+ Settlement Prices entered on the Volumetric Rate Calculation Form
+ (Exhibit A) (i.e., for that respective delivery month, the
+ Volumetric Rate shall be determined by taking the Platt's Index
+ price and multiplying that price by 3% or the then applicable
+ increased percentage determined in the same manner set out in
+ Paragraph 11.A(2) of this franchise).
+18. "Volumetric Rate Fee" or "Volumetric Rate Fees" shall mean the fee
+ or fees based on the Volumetric Rate to be collected and remitted to
+ the City by Grantee as required by Paragraph 11.A(2) of this

+1. In consideration for the rights and privileges enjoyed under this

+ 1. Grantee shall pay Grantor a franchise fee the sum of which is
+ equal to Three Percent (3%) of the Gross Receipts received by
+ Grantee, per billing period, from the transportation,
+ distribution, and sale of natural gas for domestic, commercial
+ or industrial consumption within the municipal corporate limits
+ of the City. All sums due from Grantee shall be in lieu of all
+ other franchise, license, or occupational taxes or fees, which
+ may be levied or attempted to be levied on Grantee by the City.
+ 2. In the event that Grantor, pursuant to Paragraph 3.B(1) of this
+ ordinance, requires persons transporting gas pursuant to a
+ Transportation Tariff Arrangement to pay compensation to Grantor
+ for use of the Public Ways in connection the sale of Transport
+ Gas, said compensation shall be calculated as a Volumetric Rate
+ fee for such Transport Gas, which shall be the sum equal to the
+ then current Volumetric Rate multiplied by the number of Dth of
+ Transport Gas reported or distributed through Grantee's
+ facilities within the municipal corporate limits of the City by
+ Grantee or by any third-party to transport customers for
+ consumption within the City. Grantee will in that event collect
+ such Volumetric Rate Fees from persons transporting gas pursuant
+ to a Transportation Tariff Arrangement and remit the same to
+ Grantor.
+2. In the event a customer of Grantee does not pay a monthly bill from
+ Grantee in full, Grantee shall prorate its payments of remissions to
+ the City for sums due on that particular bill so that the amount
+ actually paid by the customer to Grantee on the bill is distributed
+ to Grantee for the natural gas commodity and transportation or
+ distribution service and to the City for sums due on the bill in
+ proportion to the percentage of the total bill actually paid by the
+ customer. In the event Grantee actually collects any outstanding
+ amounts due on a past due, unpaid or partially paid monthly bill to
+ a customer, then Grantee shall pay Grantor its proportionate share
+ of sums due to the City on such bill.
+3. Grantee's franchise fee based upon a percentage of gross cash
+ receipts or a volumetric rate shall be payable monthly on or before
+ the 25th day of each month, on its gross cash receipts for the
+ preceding calendar month.
+4. All sums due from Grantee under this Section shall be in lieu of all
+ other franchise, license, or occupation taxes or fees, which may be
+ levied or attempted to be levied on Grantee by the City.
+5. The City's chief administrative officer or his designee may waive
+ the Volumetric Rate Fee or any part thereof due from a Transport Gas
+ Consumer, but such waiver shall only be granted if:
+ 1. The Transport Gas Consumer could otherwise obtain its energy
+ needs from another source that would not be subject to the fees
+ imposed in Subparagraph 2 of Subsection 11.A above and
+ sufficient evidence is produced by the Transport Gas Consumer so
+ as to substantiate such alternative source; and
+ 2. Such alternative source, including all other fees, would be less
+ than the cost of utilizing Grantee to furnish and transport the
+ gas or transport alone, as the case may be.
+6. Grantee shall update its records for the purpose of franchise fee
+ payments as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving such
+ notice.
+7. In the event the accounting rendered to Grantor by Grantee is found
+ to be incorrect, then payment shall be made on the corrected amount,
+ it being agreed that Grantor may accept amount offered by Grantee,
+ but the acceptance thereof by Grantor shall not be deemed a
+ settlement of such item if the amount is in dispute or later found
+ to be incorrect. Grantee shall have no obligation, however, to make
+ payment upon Transport Gas for which Grantee has not been paid.
+ Grantee shall provide notice to Grantor of such delinquent accounts
+ within ninety (90) days and Grantor shall hold Grantee harmless from
+ the cost or liability for the collection of franchise fees on such
+ delinquent accounts.
+8. Grantor agrees that the franchise fee percentage rate set forth in
+ Subsection 11.A, at Paragraphs (1) and (2), of this Ordinance shall
+ in no event exceed the percentage rate hereafter approved to
+ calculate any fee paid to Grantor by any other person or entity for
