(A) Prior to the issuance of any permit for any special event to be held on public property pursuant to this chapter the proposed permittee shall furnish evidence of commercial general liability coverage insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 naming the city, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers, as additional insured’s on a primary and non-contributory basis by policy endorsement in such form as may be determined by the City Administrator to provide for the payment of any claims for bodily injuries (including death and any injuries to village employees, agents, or contractors), property damage or other suits arising out of or connected with such special event, or other related activities.
(B) Each insurance policy required hereunder shall include a provision to the effect that it shall not be subject to cancellation, reduction in any coverage, or to other material changes until notice thereof has been received by the City Administrator not less than 30 days prior to such cancellation or change and the City Administrator has approved in writing such cancellation and/or change. The City Administrator shall be authorized to approve or disapprove any such material change in an insurance policy, and the city’s disapproval thereof may result in the non-issuance, suspension, and/or revocation of said permit.
(C) Failure of the permittee, event manager, and/or sponsor to maintain such insurance during such period shall result in automatic revocation of the permit. For the purposes of this chapter, the permit shall be effective during the event and include the time required before and after the event for construction, assembly, dismantling, and removal of all materials, equipment and/or support structures, as well as the time following the event during which the public property shall be cleared and restored to the condition which existed prior to commencement of such event.
(D) No permit shall be issued unless the permittee, event manager and sponsor have executed the prescribed portion of the permit application pursuant to which they agree to release, indemnify, defend and hold the city and all of its officers, employees and agents harmless against any and all claims, liabilities, suits, judgments, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in consequence of any acts or omissions of the permittee, event manager and/or sponsor, and, as may be the case, each of its directors, officers, employees or agents, in connection with the special event. Any application that is filed with the city for a special event shall constitute such a release, hold harmless and indemnification by the applicant. Any and all permits issued hereunder shall likewise be subject to all such conditions.
