The text

(a)

When any police officer responds to any large party, gathering or event and that police officer determines that there is a threat to the public health, safety, or general welfare, the police officer shall issue a written notice to the person responsible for the event. That notice shall state that a subsequent response to that same location or address within a thirty-day period shall be deemed a special security assignment rendered to provide security and order on behalf of the party, gathering or event and that the person responsible may be liable for a police services fee as defined in this chapter.

(b)

If no "person responsible" is available on the premises when the police are present or the person responsible refuses to sign a receipt of notice, a copy of the notice shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises on each occasion that the police are required to respond within a thirty-day period.
