License Agreements
USE OF PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY FOR PERSONAL PROPERTY OR USEAll use of public rights-of-way for private use requires a Revocable License Agreement that is approved by the City of Gunnison. The City recognizes the desire for citizens and the benefit in certain locations to use the public rights-of-way as well as the liability that it might create for the City. A License Agreement between the LICENSOR (City of Gunnison) and the LICENSEE (the person requesting to use the public property) protects the City from being liable for injuries caused by personal property or private use within the public rights-of-way. A Certificate of Liability Insurance is required that lists the City of Gunnison as an Additional Insured.
