The foregoing insurance coverage shall be procured and maintained with insurers that are reasonably acceptable to the City. The liability insurance policies shall be endorsed to include the City as an additional insured. If the above limits are less than those specified in Minn. Stat. Ch. 466 as the liability limits of a municipality, the higher limits shall apply. The policy shall be of type in which coverage is restored immediately after the occurrence of any loss or accident from which liability may thereafter accrue. The policy shall contain an endorsement which shall provide that no cancellation shall become effective without thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the City of intent to cancel or not to renew. In the event such insurance is cancelled and the franchisee shall fail to immediately replace it with another equivalent policy, the City may terminate their franchise and declare it to be forfeited.

Section 19. City Responsibilities. The City shall provide franchisees with all available information (including the location of road right-of-way and utilities) which is relevant to the Transit Shelter Program together with the necessary guidance and direction to achieve the Program's objectives. In consideration of the City's use of the transit shelters at no cost, the City hereby assures access to and use of the nearest electrical power and waives all permit and use fees for each transit shelter covered by this Ordinance. Provided that each transit shelter complies fully with the provisions of this Ordinance and all applicable provisions of the City's Municipal Code, all necessary permits for the installation and/or maintenance of the transit shelters shall be granted by the City. The process for obtaining such permits shall be expedited by all city departments to assure that shelters are installed within one hundred eighty (180) days. Section 20. (Reserved). Section 21.
