Latest version.
  • Abutting, underlying real property landowners (fee owners), shall indemnify and hold harmless the city, its agents, officers and employees, their successors and assigns, individually or collectively, from and against all liability for any fines, claims, suits, demands, action or causes of action of any kind and nature including but not limited to, personal injury or death, and property damage, in any way arising out of or resulting from the construction or placement of the facility or improvement. This indemnification shall be a prerequisite to the issuance of the permit.

The permit holder and the city shall give prompt and timely notice of any claim made, or suit instituted, which in any way affects or might affect either party under this section.
