§ 5-17.12. General permit conditions: Liability insurance.

(a)

Insurance requirements. As a condition precedent to the issuance of a permit authorizing an event, the permittee shall obtain public liability insurance from an insurance company licensed to do business in the State of California and having a financial rating in Best's Insurance Guide of at least "B" which provides insurance coverage against liabilities for death, personal injury or property damage arising out of or in any way connected with such event. Such insurance shall be in the amount of at least One Million and no/100ths ($1,000,000.00) Dollars, combined single limit, and shall name the City and the City's officers, employees and agents as additional insureds under the coverage afforded. In addition, such insurance shall be primary and noncontributing with respect to any other insurance available to City and shall include a severability of interest (cross liability) clause. Proof of such insurance, in a form approved by the City's Risk Manager, shall be filed with the Chief of Police prior to the issuance of the permit and such insurance shall be maintained in full force and effect throughout the course of the event authorized by such permit.

(b)

Waiver of insurance requirements. The insurance required by this section shall be waived by the Chief of Police for any permit authorizing an event where the event involves an exercise of free speech rights.
