However, any such details deemed by the Public Safety Director or his/her designee, based upon prior history, to involve major or unusual crowd control issues, including, but not limited to, parades and festivals, then in that event the hourly rate shall be $57 per hour.

F. 

Exemption. All public utility companies are exempt from the provisions set forth in this section requiring advance payment to the trust account, providing, however, that there are no amounts previously due that are outstanding for a period in excess of 15 days.

(1) 

Marked police vehicle: $10 per hour.

I. 

The request shall be approved in writing by the Public Safety Director if, in the opinion of the Public Safety Director, the intended use of the vehicle by the off-duty officer would not be inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the East Orange Police Department, the laws of this state and/or the efficient functioning and good reputation of the East Orange Police Department.
