All persons shall obtain a business license in accordance with the
procedures of Chapters 5.04 and 5.05 and the business license shall be

maintained on public rights-of-way. Before issuing a business license, the
director of finance shall insure that there is on file the following:
A. A
written statement satisfactory to the city attorney whereby the person who will
place or maintain such machine on a public street agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the city and its officers, agents, or employees from any loss or
liability or damages including expenses and costs for bodily or personal injury
and for property damage sustained by any person as a result of the installation,
use, or maintenance of such a machine within the city;
B. A certificate of
insurance establishing that there is in force and effect an insurance policy
which will remain in force during the time that such machine is allowed to
remain on public property, which such policy shall be of public liability
insurance against liability for death or for injuries to persons or damage to
property arising out of accidents attributable to the newspaper or magazine
racks or stands or publication vending machines on city property in the amounts
determined by the city with limits of at least one hundred thousand dollars for
injury or death to any person, and three hundred thousand dollars for injury or
death arising from any one accident or occurrence, and twenty-five thousand
dollars for property damage. The policy of insurance so provided shall contain a
contractual liability endorsement covering the liability assumed by the
permittee by the terms of his permit and shall contain a provision that such
policy may not be cancelled except after thirty days’ notice in writing
given to the director of finance. Copies of these policies or certificates
evidencing the same shall be filed with the city. (Ord. 901-01 § 2
