(2) A description of the equipment proposed to be used in collection;
(3) The disposal facility to which the solid waste is to be hauled; and
(4) The manner in which the solid waste is to be disposed of; and
(5) A proposed contract with the city, setting forth the details of the applicant's proposal for collection of mixed municipal solid waste and recyclable materials.
(B) Before any license is issued, an applicant shall file with the city, evidence that the applicant has in effect insurance for at least the amount of $500,000 for bodily injuries to or death of one person, and $1,000,000 for any one accident resulting in injuries and/or death of more than one person, and a total of $250,000 liability for damages to property of others arising out of any accident. Before the license shall be issued, the licensee shall agree to hold the city harmless and shall agree to defend and indemnify the city, and the city's employees and agents, for any claims, damages, losses, and expenses related to the work under the license. The city shall be named as an additional insured under that insurance for the services provided under the license. The licensee's contract of insurance shall be the primary insurance for the city and the licensee or insurance company shall provide a certificate of insurance which verifies the existence of the insurance required, including provisions to hold the city harmless and defend and indemnify the city. Any insurance or indemnity provisions of this chapter, or contained in any contract for licensed hauling approved pursuant to this chapter, shall not be interpreted to constitute a waiver by the city of any of it's defenses of immunity, or limitations on liability under M.S. Chapter 466.
(C) At the time the application is submitted, the applicant shall pay to the city an annual license fee in an amount to be established by resolution of the City Council.

Upon review of the documents submitted, the City Council shall issue a license if the documents comply with provisions previously stated. An applicant denied a license by the city may have the decision reconsidered by the City Council. The applicant shall request reconsideration by the City Council in writing within ten days after denial of the license.
(E) Licenses may be suspended or revoked by the City Council, after the licensee has been given reasonable notice and an opportunity to be heard, for the violation of any provision of this chapter or upon failure of the licensee to comply with any condition, order, or direction issued by the city.
