Such insurance coverage shall include both bodily injury and property damage liability protection for the property owner, his or her contractor and the municipality against all claims arising out of the demolition of the building. The municipality may require a certificate evidencing liability insurance coverage in excess of the minimum sum stated above, and all certificates of insurance shall be approved by the City Attorney.
