An application form available from the City Clerk's Office must be filled out and submitted to the City Clerk for processing. The completed application must be submitted together with a copy of the applicant's Iowa retail Sales Tax permit and proof of liability insurance, including commercial general liability insurance coverage and automotive liability insurance coverage. Commercial general liability insurance shall include coverage for bodily injury, death and property damage with limits of liability of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence and aggregate combined single limit. Automobile liability insurance coverage shall include coverage for bodily injury, death and property damage with limits of liability of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, combined single limit. Certificates of insurance shall provide that the policy or policies have been endorsed to provide thirty (30) days' advance notice of cancellation and forty five (45) days' advance notice of non-renewal and ten (10) days' advance notice of cancellation for non-payment of premium and that these notices shall be provided to the City Clerk's Office by email, facsimile or mail. Cancellation of required insurance automatically revokes and terminates the mobile food unit license to operate in Bettendorf unless other insurance policies are provided in a timely manner to the City. The City of Bettendorf shall be added as an additional insured.
