Within seven (7) business days after receipt of an application for a public assembly permit for a public assembly in a public right-of-way, each such department, division or office shall review the application and prepare and deliver a written report to the county administrator relating to the application. The application shall be reviewed against the requirements of this ordinance, any other applicable laws or ordinances, and any applicable technical codes or manuals, including those related to fire safety, traffic control, structures and buildings.

However, in determining whether to require a pre-payment, the reviewing department, division, or office shall consider the applicant's ability to pay and the purpose of the public assembly, provided that if the purpose of the public assembly is to engage in speech or protection that is protected under the United States Constitution or the Constitution of the State of Florida, no such pre-payment may be required.
