§ 12-28. Same—Hearing.

The board of supervisors shall consider the documentary and testimonial evidence of witnesses presented at said hearing, including all reports of investigation and shall thereafter grant the license without conditions or with conditions which must be met, including security required from the applicant as a guarantee that the conditions will be met, before a license is granted.

If conditions are imposed by the board, the applicant shall furnish or cause to be furnished to said tax collector proof that all conditions have been met, and the required security has been given, before the license may be issued by said tax collector.

Security required by the board of supervisors may include the posting of an indemnity bond and/or a performance bond in favor of the county in connection with the operation of an outdoor festival as defined in this article. Such bond or bonds shall be prepared by a corporate bonding company authorized to do business in the State of California by the department of insurance, in an amount determined by the board of supervisors of Butte County. Said bond or bonds shall indemnify the County of Butte, its agents, officers, employees, and the board of supervisors of said county against any and all loss, injury and damage of any nature whatsoever arising out of, or in any way connected with, said outdoor festival and shall indemnify against loss, injury and damage to both person and property.

The board of supervisors may also require that the applicant provide a corporate surety bond prepared by a corporate bonding company authorized to do business in the State of California, indemnifying the County of Butte and the owners of property adjoining the outdoor festival site for all costs necessitated by such activity to clean up and/or remove debris, trash, garbage or other waste from, in and around the premises. Such bond shall be in an amount determined by the Butte County Board of Supervisors in its discretion to be adequate to provide for such indemnification.

The board of supervisors may also require the applicant to obtain and maintain public liability and property damage insurance in an amount to be determined at the hearing.
