§ 11.15.050. General requirements.

Every permit is subject to and conditioned upon the fulfillment by the permittee of each of the following:

(1)

The application for permit shall be submitted, together with the processing fee, to the city film permit coordinator a minimum of seven working days in advance of the first date on which the applicant proposes to conduct any activity for which a permit is required. However, city film permit coordinator may choose to accept an application with less than seven working days' notice if it is reasonable to do so. All fees must be paid prior to the scheduling of any city personnel for the activity for which the permit is required.

(2)

One firefighter and such other personnel as the city film permit coordinator may designate, shall be present during rehearsal and shooting and at all scenes and locations.

(3)

Following submission of a completed application for permit and deposit of the processing fee, the city film permit coordinator may choose to call a pre-production meeting with the applicant, members of the city staff whose departments are affected by the proposed filming operations and other persons who may be affected by the proposed filming operations and other persons who may be affected as selected by the city manager. Upon information supplied in the application and at the meeting, and with the advice of city staff, the city manager shall establish the estimated fees for city-supplied personnel required for the proposed filming, the Chamber of Commerce fees and the amount of the encroachment fee if it appears to him that the reasonable burden to the city by reason of the filming will be less than the required daily fee. Unless reduced in the discretion of the city manager, the applicant shall deposit with the city film permit coordinator, before commencing filming, a deposit equal to the required daily fee for each day that filming will be carried on according to the application. All estimated fees for city-supplied personnel shall be paid prior to the scheduling of any city personnel to be engaged in the activity for which the permit is sought.

(4)

The specific written authorization of each property owner and occupant whose premises will be used or affected in the filming shall be delivered to the clerk before issuance of the permit.

(5)

The permittee shall conduct all operations in an orderly fashion, giving continuous attention to the storage of equipment not in use and the cleanup of trash and debris. Areas affected by filming shall be restored to their original condition at the conclusion of the operation, unless other arrangements are made between the permittee and the property owner.

(6)

Ambulances provided in connection with filming shall be approved by the Ventura County Health Care Agency.

(7)

No-parking and traffic control signs and barricades prescribed by the police chief shall be provided and posted by the permittee, as directed by the police chief.

(8)

Filming of actual or simulated acts of the kind prohibited by California Penal Code Sections 286—288, 288a, 298, 647(a), (b) and (d), and 647a is prohibited.

(9)

The applicant shall present, with the application, evidence in form suitable to the city attorney of liability insurance in an amount not less than one million dollars, running to the protection of the city, its officers, employees and volunteers against claims of third persons for personal injury, wrongful death and property damage resulting from or in any way connected with the operations of the permittee under the permit.

(10)

The permittee shall conform to the requirements of the California Workers' Compensation Law and shall furnish the city with such declarations and evidence of coverage in connection therewith as may be required by the city attorney.

(11)

The applicant shall execute the hold-harmless agreement forming a part of the application for the permit.
