AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, MODIFYING
CERTAIN PROCEDURES RELATING TO PUBLIC
ENTERTAINMENT PERMITS.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Since the enactment of Costa Mesa Municipal Code Section
9-200(3)(a) requiring liability insurance with minimum limits of $5,000,000
for certain activities, applicants for public entertainment permits
involving the listed activities have encountered difficulties in obtaining
the required insurance in the current market. Therefore, the minimum
limits may need to be revised from time to time, and that can be readily
accomplished by resolution.
In addition, a procedure is needed for City Council review of and
action on requests for partial excuse from the insurance requirement in
particular cases.
SECTION 2. Accordingly, the Costa Mesa Municipal Code is amended as
follows:
1. The last sentence of paragraph (a) of subsection (3) of Section 9-
200 is amended to read as follows:
"The minimum limits of liability of such insurance shall be as set
forth in a resolution of the City Council, to be revised from time to time
as circumstances warrant."
2. The following paragraph is added to Section 9-200, subsection (3):
"(c) Any applicant who is unable to obtain liability insurance in the
amount required by City Council resolution may apply to the City Council
for approval of a lesser amount."
SECTION 3. This Ordinance shall take effect and be in full force
thirty (30) days from and after the passage thereof, and prior to the ex-
piration of fifteen (15 ) days from its passage shall be published once in
the ORANGE COAST DAILY PILOT, a newspaper of general circulation, printed
and published in the City of Costa Mesa or, in the alternative, the City
Clerk may cause to be published a summary of this Ordinance and a certified
copy of the text of this Ordinance shall be posted in the office of the
City Clerk five (5) days prior to the date of adoption of this Ordinance,
and within fifteen (15) days after adoption, the City Clerk shall cause to
be published the aforementioned summary and shall post in the office of the
City Clerk a certified copy of this Ordinance together with the names of
the members of the City Council voting for and against the same.
