For the purpose of licensing and regulating merchant patrol systems and merchant patrolmen in the City, a portion of Title 5 of the Codified Ordinances of the County of Orange, three copies of which are on file in the office of the City Clerk for public record and inspection, is hereby adopted by reference and made a part of this chapter as though set forth in this chapter in full.
(§ 1, Ord. No. 218)
Unless the content of said Codified Ordinances clearly indicates
otherwise, the terms “Board” and “Board of Supervisors”
shall mean the Council, and all other officers mentioned therein shall
refer to their respective counterparts, if any, in the City.
(§ 2, Ord. No. 218)
(a)
Bonds.
Each applicant for a license or permit pursuant to this chapter shall
file with the City a surety bond, executed by a surety company authorized
to do business in the State, in the sum of $1,000, conditioned for
the faithful and honest conduct of his business by such applicant.
Such bonds shall be approved by the City Attorney as to form, execution,
and sufficiency of the surety.
The conditions of such bonds shall be substantially such that
the principals therein will faithfully conform to each and all of
the laws of the City and to each and all of the laws of the State,
whether then in force, or which may thereafter be adopted, relating
to the business of the applicant.
The principals and surety named in such bonds, and their successors
and assigns, shall be jointly and severally bound unto the City and
unto any and every person aggrieved or damaged by a breach of the
conditions of such bonds. Such bonds shall not be void upon such recovery
but may be sued and recovered upon from time to time by any person
aggrieved or damaged until the whole penalty is exhausted.
In the event the total liability of the surety upon such bonds
falls below $1,000, the applicant shall furnish an additional bond
to keep the liability at a minimum of $1,000.
(b)
Insurance.
If the applicant for a license or permit pursuant to this chapter
intends to, or does, operate any motor vehicle in the operation of
his business, he shall file with the City Clerk an insurance policy
for each of such vehicles, which policy shall include within its coverage
public liability to the extent of $25,000 for the death or injury
of one person, $50,000 for the death or injury of two or more persons,
and property damages in the sum of $5,000.
(§ 2, Ord. No. 218)
Section 51.021 of said Codified Ordinances is hereby amended
to read as follows:
It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, or corporation to
engage in, conduct, manage, or carry on the business, practice, profession,
or occupation of security officer or security system within the City
without first having obtained a license therefor in accordance with
Division 2 of this Title. Furthermore, any such person, firm, or corporation
conducting such a security system shall also procure a City license
and pay a license fee of $50 per year.
(§ 2, Ord. No. 218)
