§ 9-284.7. Public liability insurance for towing services
Latest version.
No holder of a permit to conduct a tow operation shall drive or operate a tow unit,
or cause the same to be driven or operated in the city, unless there is on file with
the chief of police, and in full force and effect at all times while such tow unit
is being operated, a policy of insurance, or satisfactory evidence of such insurance,
approved by the city attorney or risk manager, evidencing that the certificate holder
is insured under a policy of liability insurance for personal injury, including death
and property damage, providing minimum coverage of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00)
combined single limit per occurrence. The permit holder's policy of insurance shall
also include coverage for garage keeper's legal liability, or the equivalent, in amounts
satisfactory to the city's insurance committee. The permit holder's policy of insurance
shall further provide that the city shall be given thirty (30) days' prior written
notice of any cancellation, termination or change in the amount of such insurance
coverage. The permit holder's policy of insurance shall be executed by a company duly
licensed under the laws of the State of California to be an insurance business. Annual
or periodic renewal certificates shall be filed with the chief of police upon renewal
or change in coverage.
