In order to protect the welfare and safety of the public within the City, including to minimize the diversion of public funds, a personal delivery device operator and its agents shall, at their sole cost and expense, jointly and severally indemnify, hold harmless and defend the City, its Council, officials, boards, board members, commissions, commissioners, representatives, officers and employees, against any and all claims, suits, causes of action, proceedings and judgments ("claims") for damages or equitable relief arising out of their operation of a personal delivery device within the City. Such indemnification shall include, without limitation, the City's reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in defending against any such claim prior to the personal delivery device operator and/or agent assuming such defense. The City shall notify the operator or agent of a claim within 30 days of its actual knowledge of the existence of such claim and acquisition of accurate contact information for the operator or agent, but untimely notice shall not eliminate the requirement to indemnify except to the extent such untimely notice prejudiced the operator or agent. Once the operator and/or agent assumes the defense of the claim, the City may at its option continue to participate in the defense at its own expense.
