complied with all terms and conditions herein. The bond shall contain the following
endorsement: "It is hereby understood and agreed that this bond may not be cancelled by the
surety nor any intention not to renew be exercised by the surety until thirty (30) days after receipt
by the city of such written notice of such intent." The bond shall provide, but not be limited to,
the following condition: There shall be recoverable by the city, jointly and severally from the
principal and the surety, any and all damages, loss or costs suffered by the city resulting from
the failure of the applicant to satisfactorily construct facilities and adherence to all the
requirements of this ordinance. The rights reserved to the city with respect to the bond are in

ordinances.
6. The city reserves the right to review the insurance requirements during the effective period of
any franchise or municipal consent agreement, and to reasonably adjust insurance coverage and
limits when the City Administrator determines that changes in statutory law, court decisions, or
the claims history of the industry or the provider require adjustment of the coverage. For
purposes of this section, the city will accept certificates of self-insurance issued by the State of
Texas or letters written by the applicant in those instances where the State does not issue such
letters, which provide the same coverage required herein. However, for the city to accept such
letters, the applicant must demonstrate by written information that it has adequate financial
resources to be a self-insured entity as reasonable determined by the city, based on financial
information requested by and furnished to the city.
7. The financial and insurance requirements may be met by applicants with a current franchise or
license and applicants governed by Chapter 283 of the Texas Local Government Code if the
current franchise, license or statutory indemnity adequately provides for insurance or bonds or
