A. Except where a general license for public display has been granted pursuant to RCW 70.77.355, the applicant for a permit under Section 16.60.030(C) for a public display of fireworks shall include with the application evidence of a bond issued by an authorized surety company. The bond shall be conditioned upon the applicant’s payment of all damages to persons or property resulting from or caused by such public display of fireworks, or any negligence on the part of the applicant or its agents, servants, employees or subcontractors in presentation of the display. Instead of a bond, the applicant may include a certificate of insurance evidencing the carrying of appropriate public liability insurance for the benefit of the person named therein as assured, as evidence of ability to respond in damages. The city attorney shall approve the bond or insurance if it meets the requirements in this section.

B. The amount of the surety bond or certificate of insurance required by this section shall not be less than fifty thousand dollars and one million dollars for bodily injury liability for each person and event, respectively, and not less than twenty-five thousand dollars for property damage liability for each event. (Ord. 3076-08 § 4, 2008; Ord. 1041-84 § 7, 1984.)
