City proposes changing filming-permit lead time from 72 hours to seven business days
Summary
The municipal clerk proposed amending the filming ordinance to require seven business days instead of 72 hours for filming applications, citing the need for multi-department review for larger productions and on-site food trucks; council asked the city attorney to review ordinance language.
City staff asked the council to consider an amendment to the city's filming ordinance that would change the minimum application lead time from 72 hours to seven business days. The municipal clerk explained that larger productions often include food trucks and expanded footprints that require fire and health-department review, and that longer lead time would allow departments to complete necessary inspections and permit reviews.
The clerk described current fees as $300 per day for private-property shoots and $600 per day for public-property shoots and said the proposed change is intended to give departments sufficient review time. Council asked the city attorney to examine sample language and comparators from nearby municipalities before the council takes formal action.
