Any person operating a carnival, menagerie or circus shall be required to obtain a city business license and pay the license fees as provided herein.

A. Business license fees - enumerated. The fee for a carnival, menagerie or circus business license shall be the sum of two hundred fifty dollars ($250.00) per week, or thirty-five dollars ($35.00) per day.

B. Bond required with application. Every carnival, menagerie or circus shall file with the director a cash bond of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00), conditioned that such carnival, menagerie or circus shall pay all damages that may be done to streets or public places and shall remove all advertising matter placed within the city of Aberdeen, within ten days after its business license has expired. The bond must be filed before any business license shall be issued to the carnival, menagerie or circus. Should the license fee payer fail to meet the above conditions, the director shall have the right to make claim against said bond, otherwise the bond shall be returned to the bondee within thirty (30) days from the date the license expired.

C. Business license - issuance, expiration and renewal. After an application and cash bond are received and the license fee paid, the director shall issue the carnival, menagerie or circus business license to the applicant, who shall then conspicuously display the license so that it may be inspected by the city of Aberdeen or its agent at any time. The business license shall clearly state the name of the licensee and the expiration date of the license. The license holder must renew a business license upon its expiration by filing a new application with the director, and paying the applicable business license fee.
