A Certificate of Liability Insurance and an Additional Insured Endorsement naming the Conejo Recreation & Park District (CRPD) as additional insureds must be provided at least 10 days prior to the event. Insurance is also required of any caterers, vendors, organizations, security, or other businesses present during the event, including the set-up and clean-up times.

The permittee shall procure and maintain commercial liability insurance with coverage at least as broad as Insurance Services Form CG 00 01, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 general aggregate, for bodily injury, personal injury, and property damage. The policy must include contractual liability that has not been amended. Any endorsement restricting standard ISO “insured contract” language will not be accepted. If alcohol is sold during the permitted activity, coverage must include full liquor liability. Such insurance shall name “The Conejo Recreation & Park District, its officers, employees, agents, and volunteers” as additional insureds prior to the use of the facility. Permittee shall file such certificates of such insurance with CRPD, which shall be endorsed to provide thirty (30) days’ notice to CRPD of cancellation or any change of coverage or limits. If a copy of the insurance certificate is not on file prior to the event, CRPD may deny access to the facility.

All insurance policies shall be issued by an insurance company currently authorized by the Insurance Commissioner to transact business of insurance or is on the List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers in the State of California, with an Assigned Policyholders’ Rating of A- (or higher) and Financial Size Category Class VII (or larger) in accordance with the latest edition of Best’s Key Rating Guide, unless otherwise approved by CRPD’s Risk Manager.

Requirements of specific coverage features, or limits contained in this regulation are not intended as a limitation on coverage, limits, or other requirements, or a waiver of any coverage normally provided by any insurance. Specific reference to a given coverage feature is for purposes of clarification only as it pertains to a given issue and is not intended by any party or insured to be all-inclusive, or to the exclusion of other coverage, or a waiver of any type. If the permittee maintains higher limits than the minimums shown above, CRPD requires and shall be entitled to coverage for the higher limits maintained by the permittee. Any available insurance proceeds in excess of the specified minimum limits of insurance and coverage shall be available to CRPD.

Special Event Liability Insurance Information

The insurer should be licensed either as a foreign insurer in another state in the United States or as a non-United States (alien) insurer. You should ask questions of your insurance agent, broker, or “Surplus Line” broker or contact the California Department of Insurance at the following toll-free number: 1-800-927-4357. Ask hether or not the insurer is licensed as a foreign or non-United States (alien) insurer and for additional information about the insurer.
