§ 9-334. Insurance.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    The director shall not issue a license for any helistop or heliport unless the applicant has liability insurance in effect that covers the proposed operations of the applicant at the location specified in the application. The licensee shall annually provide proof of insurance to the director once a heliport or helistop license has been granted. Insurance for a temporary license shall be in effect for the entire duration of the temporary heliport or helistop's operations.

    (b)

    The minimum limit for public liability coverage maintained by the licensee shall be a combined single limit of liability for bodily injury and property damages of $5,000,000.00 per occurrence.

    (c)

    The insurance policy shall indemnify the city from all claims including, but not limited to, noise, nuisance, personal injury, death, or property damage arising from the use of the helistop or heliport facility, shall meet the requirements set forth in this section, and shall not be canceled without at least 30 days' written notice to the director.

    (d)

    Any cancellation or suspension of the applicant's insurance for a licensed heliport or helistop that results in a lapse of coverage of the heliport or helistop's operations shall constitute good cause for revocation of the license by the director. All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company duly authorized to do business in the state and maintaining an office or represented by an authorized agent in the state.

    (e)

    Proof of insurance shall be met by filing with the director any one of the following:
