(A) A vending cart permit is not effective until the applicant has filed with the City Clerk-Treasurer evidence of insurance insuring the applicant against liability imposed by law arising out of the ownership, maintenance or operation of such vending cart in amounts of at least $500,000 for the injury or death of one person, $1,500,000 for the injury or death of two or more persons and $10,000 for damage to property.
