This ordinance would update the city's special events permit rules so that insurance and indemnification agreements are handled by the Enterprise Risk and Safety Office instead of the Risk Management Office. The change updates the office name referenced in the permit application requirements for special events held on streets, sidewalks, and public places.

Pull special events permit insurance ordinance text now

Why now: The item was read a second time on both 2026-08-04 and 2026-08-18 amending Title 13, Chapter 13.38, Section 13.38.40(E), with the penalty provided in Section 13.38.110.

What to do: Obtain the full ordinance text from the August 4 and August 18 second readings and compare them line by line to confirm the amendment to Section 13.38.40 subsection E is limited to renaming the reviewing office and does not alter insurance limits, indemnification language, or the penalty cross-reference to Section 13.38.110. If your clients hold or are seeking special event permits, confirm whose signature and certificate-holder designation the city will accept once the renamed Enterprise Risk and Safety Office is the named entity.

Ask why special events insurance ordinance stalled twice

Why now: The identical second-reading item appears twice in the record, on 2026-08-04 and again on 2026-08-18, with no stated reason for the repeat.

What to do: Ask the City Clerk for the disposition of the August 4 agenda item — whether it was postponed, tabled, or failed — since an ordinance that only swaps "Risk Management Office" for "Enterprise Risk and Safety Office" reappeared for second reading again on August 18. Also ask how many other City Code chapters carry the old office name and whether a broader departmental reorganization is being processed piecemeal.
