Any person, firm or corporation desiring to obtain a parade permit shall at least twenty days prior to the parade date, complete an application substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit A attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter and incorporated herein by this reference and submit same together with a ten-dollar nonrefundable application fee, to the Centralia police department.
