§ 12-1. Definitions.

The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

Mass gathering means the congregation or assembly in which admission is charged in reasonable contemplation of profit of more than one thousand (1,000) people for a continuous period of more than six (6) hours in an open space or open air, or in permanent buildings or structures. A mass gathering in a permanent building or structure shall include only those assemblies which by reason of their size the county health director determines to be likely to pose a threat to public health, safety or welfare through unsatisfactory provision of adequate public safety, fire and sanitary facilities. A mass gathering shall not include an event sponsored by a school or other agency of government or any private school when the assembly is of a size and scope such that there is a reasonably apparent capability to service the needs of that assembly without threatening the public health, welfare or safety, as determined by the county health director.

Permittee means any person who is issued a permit under this chapter by the county health director.

Person means any person, firm, corporation or legal entity.
