The city manager may require the vendor to obtain and maintain a policy of liability
insurance from an insurance company licensed to issue insurance in the State of Oregon, with

as an additional insured thereunder, and to provide the city with a certificate of such
insurance. Said insurance coverage, if required, shall be maintained for so long as the permit

7.415 Location Review.
(1) Upon receipt of an application for a permit, the manager shall review each location
applied for to determine whether the location is within a commercial area and the use of the
location for public right-of-way vending is compatible with the public interest in use of street
and sidewalk areas as public rights-of-way.
(2) In making the determination, the manager may consider the width of the public right-of-
way, the proximity and location of existing street furniture, including but not limited to, sign
posts, lamp posts, parking meters, bus shelters, benches, phone booths, and newsstands, as
well as the presence of bus stops, truck loading zones, or taxi stands, to determine whether the
proposed use would result in pedestrian or street congestion.
