(a) Prior to the issuance of a permit, the owner of each food truck requesting a permit shall provide the Director with proof of an insurance policy currently in effect covering the owner and any other person operating or vending from such unit with the owner's permission, for liability imposed by law for damages on account of bodily injury, death or property damage resulting from the use of such food truck. The limit of this policy shall be not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) and issued from an insurance company duly licensed to transact such business in the State of Ohio or of an insurance company not authorized to transact business in this state, provided such insurance is written through a citizen of this state duly licensed as provided by R.C. § 5905.03, et seq., covering the applicant. Such policy shall agree to pay any judgment rendered against the owner of such food truck or any other person using it with his permission by reason of their use of such food truck. The insurance policy shall list the City as an additional insured and shall require that the City be notified of cancellation of such coverage pursuant to the terms of the policy. Failure to maintain insurance during the life of a permit shall result in the immediate revocation of a vendor's permit.
(b) The permit holder, and each vendor, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City, its elected officials, officers, employees, agents, contractors and volunteers from any and all damage, liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from the operation of a food truck in the City, including bodily injury, death, damage to property, or loss of any kind to a third person.
