(a) No permit shall be issued pursuant to this section unless the applicant shall post and maintain with the Board a surety bond or policy of public liability insurance, approved by the Board and conditioned as hereinafter provided.
(b) The bond or policy shall be conditioned that the permittee will indemnify and save harmless the City of Los Angeles, its officers and employees from any and all loss, costs, damages, expenses or liability which may result from or arise out of the granting of the permit, or the installation or maintenance of the bench for which the permit is issued and that the permittee will pay any and all loss or damage that may be sustained by any person as a result of, or which may be caused by or arise out of such installation or maintenance. The bond or policy of insurance shall be maintained in its original amount by the permittee at the permittee’s expense at all times during the period for which the permit is in effect. In the event that two or more permits are issued to one permittee, one such bond or policy of insurance may be furnished to cover two or more benches, and each bond or policy shall be of such a type that its coverage shall be automatically restored immediately from and after the time of the reporting of any accident from which liability may thereafter accrue.
The limit of liability upon any bond or policy of insurance, posted pursuant to the requirements of this article, shall in no case be less than $5,000.00 for bodily injuries to or death of one person. The permissible limit of liability for bodily injuries or death of more than one person shall depend upon the number of bench permits covered thereby and shall not be less than the amount specified in the following schedule:
Number of Bench Permits | Limit of Liability |
1 to 10 | $10,000 |
11 to 50 | $20,000 |
51 to 100 | $40,000 |
101 or more | $80,000 |

The Council of the City of Los Angeles hereby finds that the Marina del Rey Entrance Channel is a unique portion of the City of Los Angeles and requires special rules and regulations which cannot properly be applicable to any other portion of the City of Los Angeles. The reason for said uniqueness is that the Marina del Rey Entrance Channel is owned by the County of Los Angeles but is located within the City of Los Angeles. It is the means whereby small boats traverse from the Pacific Ocean into the Marina del Rey, a small boat harbor owned and operated by the County of Los Angeles and located within unincorporated territory. The provisions of this article shall be applicable only to the Marina del Rey Entrance Channel.
“Marina del Rey Entrance Channel” as used herein, and to which this article is applicable, shall mean all those inland waters of the State of California and lying within the city limits of the City of Los Angeles, lying northeasterly of the Marina del Rey Detached Breakwater and bounded by lines drawn northeasterly and perpendicular to the shore from lights 1 and 2 of said Breakwater (and being more particularly described as those waters inside of the lines of the “high seas” as described in Section 6552(f)(13), Title 14, of the California Administrative Code).
Harbor patrol officers of the County of Los Angeles, acting under the jurisdiction and orders of the County’s Director of Small Craft Harbors and/or the County’s Harbor Master, Marina del Rey Small Craft Harbor, shall have full authority to enforce the provisions of this ordinance and the provisions of the California Harbors and Navigation Code within the area described in section 69.01, or the area immediately adjacent thereto, including the power to arrest for violation of the provisions thereof, as though employed by the City of Los Angeles in the capacity of harbor patrol officers or harbor police officers. Nothing contained herein, however, shall constitute such harbor patrol officers as employees or agents or officers of the City of Los Angeles.
