    17  additional police personnel should be scheduled for the event;  (b)  the
    18  local  law  shall not apply to any corporation formed under the not-for-
    19  profit corporation law; and (c) the operator,  conductor,  promoter,  or
    20  sponsor of the activity shall pay all or a portion of the estimated cost
    21  of additional police protection prior to the commencement of the event.
