which involve the exercise of activities which are
constitutionally protected, including but not limited to the
distribution of non-commercial, non-obscene, or any other goods

(a) Such solicitation does not result in interference with
the transportation function of the Airport;
(b) The solicitation does not constitute a commercial
activity;
(c) Such person, group or organization shall have first
secured the permit (charitable solicitations) required by Section
20-17A-2 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt Lake City, 1965, as
amended or the certificate (religious or political solicitation)
required by Section 20-17A-6 of the Revised Ordinances of Salt
Lake City, 1965, as amended; and
(d) The person, group or organization desiring to solicit
funds at the Airport shall first obtain a written permit therefor
from the Director of Airports ("Director"). For purposes of
obtaining such permit, there shall be submitted to the Director a
written application setting forth the following:
(1) The full name, mailing address and telephone
number of the person or organization sponsoring, promoting
or conducting the solicitation;
(2) The full name, mailing address and telephone
number of the individual person or persons who will have

(4) The dates and hours on and during which the
-2-

funds, the following requirements shall apply:
(a) No sound or voice amplifying apparatus or noise making
devices shall be used;
(b) No signs or printed matter shall be attached to the
"Solicitation Booth," except such as may be necessary to identify
the organization which is conducting a solicitation and any such

(c) No person, group or organization soliciting funds shall
in any way indicate to the public that he or she is a
representative of the City of Salt Lake or the Salt Lake City
Airport Authority;
(d) Funds shall neither be demanded nor required in return
for written material or other items such as flowers or candy
which are proferred to the general public as "free", "gifts", or
"gratuities"; and
(e) The solicitations referred to herein shall be conducted
strictly in conformity with the terms and conditions of these
regulations.
Sec. 2-2-32. Issuance of permit. Upon receipt of an
application containing information as described in Section 2-2-
30(d) the Director shall forthwith issue a permit to the
applicant, if there is space available in the Airport terminal,
applying only the limitations and regulations set forth in these
ordinances. The Director shall exercise no judgment regarding
the purpose or content of the proposed activity and shall
exercise no discretion over the issuance of a permit hereunder,
except as provided in these ordinances, it being the intent of
these ordinances that the issuance of a permit by the Director
under this section shall be a routine clerical and ministerial
-3-
function. Provided, that in no event shall the Director issue a
permit for a period of time in excess of 30 days.
Sec. 2-2-33. Solicitation booth. In each permit issued by
him, the Director shall specify, in accordance with the
provisions of these ordinances, the area or areas in which the
proposed "Solicitations Booth" shall be located. Such
solicitations shall be conducted only from a "Solicitation Booth"
which shall be furnished by the Director; and such booth shall be
located within the permissible areas at such points as may he
designated from time to time by the Director.
Sec. 2-2-34. Relocation. The Director, or his designee,
may move such permitted activities from one area to another upon
reasonable written notice to the applicant when such move or
moves are necessary to the efficient and effective operation of
the transportation function of the Airport; provided, however, no
such move shall unreasonably interfere with the permittee's
access to the general public.
Sec. 2-2-35. Apportionment of available space. In the
event that two or more persons, groups or organizations seek to
conduct the activities described herein at the same time, the
Director shall apportion the available areas between or among
them all on as equitable a basis as possible.
In no event, however, shall more than three (3) persons be
engaged in any solicitations permitted by these rules and
regulations in any one area at the same time. When the Director
receives more applications for permits than he is able to grant
by following this rule, permits shall be granted on a first come
first served basis and the Director may impose such reasonable
and equitable restrictions as to allowable dates or hours or
numbers of participants as may reasonably be required to provide
fair and as equal as possible opportunities for all applicants,
while insuring the efficient and effective operation of the
transportation function of the Airport.
Sec. 2-2-36. Face-to-face discussions not prohibited. The
-4-
i;'
foregoing regulations shall not prevent or prohibit any person,
group or organization from communicating their views in face-to-
face discussions at locations in the Airport other than the

be conducted only in or upon those premises which are non-
secured, public use areas. Further, under no circumstances shall

disturb any other person, or hamper or impede the conduct of any
authorized business at the Airport;
(b) Use any sound or voice amplifying apparatus on the
premises of the Airport;
