(a)

Required. It shall be unlawful for any person to keep or maintain within the corporate limits of the city a park or grounds upon which baseball or other athletic games or sports shall be engaged in for public amusement for which any fee or charge is made for admission or for observing such event, without first having obtained a permit therefor from the council.

(b)

Application. All applications for the permit required by subsection (a) shall distinctly state where the park is to be located, the character of the sports or games to be played, the class of persons who are to participate in them, and the time for which the permit is desired.

(c)

Revocation. All permits given under the provisions of subsections (a) and (b) shall be subject to revocation in the discretion of the council.

(d)

Temporary permits. In the intervals between regular meetings of the council, the mayor or his designee shall have authority, in his discretion, to grant permission for games, sports or public amusements, not specified in a general permit. Such permit shall be of force only until the first regular meeting of the council after it is granted, unless approved and extended by the council.
