1. “Public dance” means any dance to which the public is admitted and which is held and conducted for a profit, either direct or indirect. A licensee holding a cabaret license does not need a public dance license.

2. “Public dance hall” means any place where public dancing as defined above, is permitted.

1. Security Attendant Required. The owner or operator of every dance shall be required to hire at its own expense a security attendant or attendants, as required by the chief of police of the city, necessary to maintain good order in each dance.

2. Floor Manager. Every person conducting a public dance shall have a floor manager in control of the premises continuously from one-half hour before dancing begins until the dance hall is closed. It shall be the duty of the floor manager to see that standards of decency and good taste are maintained and to see that disorderly, familiar or objectionable conduct is not tolerated. The floor manager shall take effective steps promptly to remove objectionable persons and stop objectionable practices, and shall cooperate in carrying out the provisions of this chapter relating to public dance hall and public dancing and in preserving order and good conduct on the part of the patrons and employees of the dance.

3. Lighting. After sunset, before any patrons are admitted thereto, every public dance hall shall be lighted or illuminated in such a manner and to such an extent as is usual or customary for lighting halls or rooms of like dimensions in the nighttime for public assemblies. Such lighting or illumination shall be maintained thereafter throughout the entire time for which such dance hall is open and entertaining patrons, and during any recess or other intermission, without diminution or interruption until such dance hall is cleared and closed.

4. Prohibited Activities. It is unlawful for any person to whom a license is issued pursuant to the terms of this chapter to allow or permit in any public dance any indecent acts to be committed or any disorder or conduct of a violent character. Any member of the police department of the city shall have the power and it shall be their duty to cause any dance hall to be vacated whenever any provision of this chapter is being violated or when any indecent act is committed or when any disorder or conduct of a violent character takes place therein.

5. Pass Checks Prohibited. It is unlawful to issue pass checks, or other checks which permit a person to leave and enter a public dance hall.

6. Closing Hours. All public dances and all music therein shall cease and terminate on or before midnight; provided, however, that upon application and for good cause shown the police chief may grant permission to hold or continue a dance after the times provided above if they finds that the same may be conducted without undue annoyance to any considerable number of people.

7. Entry for Inspections. The chief of police or some officer specifically designated by them shall investigate all complaints against public dances.

8. Access by City Officials. All city officials shall have free access to public dances for the purposes of inspecting and enforcing compliance with the provisions of this chapter. (Ord. 4012 § 2, 1984.)
