The Denver City Council relaxed proposed regulations Monday regarding permit fees for those wanting to hold a parade during the Democratic National Convention.
The council decided the mayor could have the discretion to refund the $50 application fee to those whose parade permit applications might be rejected because of competing demand. The council approved the measure proposed by Councilman Rick Garcia on a 10-3 vote with council members Jeanne Faatz, Charlie Brown and Marcia Johnson dissenting. An earlier version of Garcia’s amendment would have required the mayor to return the fees to those whose applications were rejected. The council defeated that proposal.
