A. Incident to and as a condition of the approval of an application for the reservation of city park facilities for the exclusive use of a group of persons which number more than 150 persons, the applicant shall obtain comprehensive general 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 any death, personal injuries or property damage arising out of or in any way connected with the use of such facilities.
Such insurance shall be in a form approved by the city's risk manager, shall name the city and the city's officers, employees and agents as additional insureds under the coverage afforded, shall be primary 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 in the office of the director prior to undertaking the use of the reserved facilities and such insurance shall be maintained in full force and effect at all times throughout the course of the reservation or public event authorized by the permit.
B. Waiver of Insurance Requirements. The insurance required by this section shall be waived by the director for any permit authorizing an event in a city park facility or portion of a city park facility designated as an intensive or exclusive use area which does not exceed 15 consecutive hours in length where the director determines that the dominant purpose of the use of reserved facilities is the exercise of free speech rights.
