Prior to the issuance of a parade permit, the permit applicant and authorized officer of the sponsoring organization (if any), must sign an agreement to reimburse the city for any costs incurred by it in repairing damage to city property occurring in connection with the permitted event proximately caused by the actions of the permittee/sponsoring organization, its officers, employees, or agents, or any person who was under the permittee's/sponsoring organization's control insofar as permitted by law. The agreement shall also provide that the permittee/sponsoring organization shall defend the city against, and indemnify and hold the city harmless from, any liability to any persons resulting from any damage or injury occurring in connection with the permitted event proximately caused by the actions of the permittee/sponsoring organization, its officers, employees or agents, or any person who was under the permittee's/sponsoring organization's control insofar as permitted by law. Persons who merely join in a parade or event are not considered by that reason alone to be “under control” of the permittee/sponsoring organization. (Ord. 481 § 1 (part), 1986).
