b. Admission to view the event must not be limited to membership of the sponsoring
group, nor will any discrimination be made against a person because of race, creed, sex, or
national origin in conducting activities. Special event permits will include the following condition
relating to discrimination:
"Admission to view the event will be open to the general public without
discrimination on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or age.
Participation in the event may be limited to members of the sponsoring group
provided that the group does not unlawfully discriminate against participation in
the event on grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, sex or age. Request
for special events permits citing "special circumstances" for participation requiring
gender or age discrimination must be accompanied by an exceedingly persuasive
justification. This may be appropriate for activities such as contact sports and
sports such as tennis, golf, or competitive swimming. Fishing tournaments do not
qualify for discrimination based on gender."

persons attending the event. The permittee will be responsible for health and safety requirements
of participants.
