§ 9-284.7. Public liability insurance for towing services

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.
