5. 
Any person or organization seeking permission to conduct such activity shall review the schedule maintained by the City Clerk to ascertain availability. If an availability exists (under the limitations set forth herein) the Clerk may grant the permission for the assigned date.
6. 
Any person or organization seeking permission to conduct such activity shall:
a. 
If an individual, the individual must be a resident of the City of Chaffee, Missouri, and the resident shall be responsible for the activity, or

Note — At the meeting of the City Council on April 4, 2005 the Council determined that the interpretation to be applied to paragraph 3 would be as follows: "Organization" is based on the actual organization making the request for road block purposes and not the parent entity of the organization. Therefore, by example, twelve (12) different entities or groups from the school could utilize the monthly road block and not violate the provisions of item 3.
