(c) Include the application fee.
(2) A waiver of the deadline in subsection (1)(b) of this section may be granted by the director upon a showing of good cause.

(ii) Adequate restroom and washroom facilities must be identified and information demonstrating how facilities will be arranged for or obtained by the applicant, subject to the Snohomish County health department’s review and certification process, must be provided.
(4) Permits, approvals, or coordination from other public agencies (e.g., Community Transit, Island Transit, Department of Transportation) when required must be submitted prior to the issuance of the permit.
(5) Five days prior to the event, a complete list of concessionaires operating any booths must be submitted.
(6) The city may require other information deemed reasonably necessary to determine that the permit meets the requirements of this chapter.
(7) When an event will be an exercise of rights protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, the application must be processed promptly, without charging a fee or imposing terms or conditions that infringe upon constitutional freedoms, and in a manner that respects the liberty of applicants and the public.
