in or on any City Park facility reserved by an issued permit.
C. Permit
Application. Applications shall be submitted, in writing, in advance
of the proposed use on a form provided by the City.
D. Permit
Requirements.
1. Code Compliance. Any permittee shall, as a condition of issuance
of a permit, be bound by all City Park rules, regulations, and policies
and all applicable provisions of the Municipal Code as though fully
inserted into the issued permit.
2. Waiver. Any permittee shall, as a condition of issuance of a permit,
agree to a waiver and release of liability provision and indemnification
agreement. The permittee shall also, as a condition of any permit
issued, be responsible for the cost of any damage to City Park facilities
or other property occurring during such permitted event and, depending
on the type of permit, may be required to submit a deposit to cover
any such damage prior to issuance of any permit.
3. Insurance Required. The City reserves the right to review any activity
involving the use of any City facility and impose specific insurance
requirements based upon perceived risks related to the use of the
facility. Nothing in this requirement or the insurance shall be deemed
a waiver of the City's sovereign immunity. Upon request, the City
