Azusa Municipal Code Div. 1 Generally

(a) Required. The application for a permit as required in division 2 of this article shall be presented to the council, who may grant a permit. However, prior to the issuance of such permit to the permittee and prior to the maintaining of any bench in or upon any street, such permittee shall pay the city $60.00 plus $6.00 for each bench for which a permit has been granted and shall file with the business license officer a surety bond or policy of public liability insurance in the amount of $100,000.00 public liability and $5,000.00 property damage, approved by the city attorney as to form, and conditioned as approved in subsection (b) of this section. All moneys collected under this article shall be deposited to the general fund.

(b) Conditions, coverage. The bond or policy required by subsection (a) of this section shall be conditioned that the permittee will indemnify and save the city, its officers and employees free and harmless from any and all loss, costs, damages, expenses and liability which might result from or arise out of the granting of a permit or the maintenance of a bench for which the permit is issued and that the permittee will pay any and all loss or damage which may be sustained by any person as a result of or which may be caused by or arise out of such maintenance. The bond or policy of insurance shall be maintained in its original amount by the permittee at his expense at all times during the period for which the permit is in effect. Each such bond or policy shall be of such a type that its coverage shall be automatically restored immediately after the time of any accident from which liability may thereafter accrue and shall specifically provide that the policy shall not be exhausted by successive suits upon the policy and, further, that the policy shall not be cancellable without ten days' prior written notice delivered to the business license officer.
