ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME AMENDING SECTION 6.36.130 TO
REDUCE THE LIABILITY INSURANCE LIMITS REQUIRED OF TAXICAB

The City Council of the City of Burlingame ordains as follows:

6.36.130 Insurance.
Each owner shall carry liability insurance in the amount of not less than $350,000 per
accident for bodily injury and property damage. All insurance shall name the city as additional
insured; such insurance shall be primary to all others and shall contain a provision that it will not
be canceled except upon thirty (3 0) days' written notice to the city. All insurance carriers shall be
admitted in the State of California. Evidence of current insurance shall be on file with the city
clerk at all times.
Section 3. This ordinance shall be published as required by law and shall take effect thirty
days after its adoption.
