PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY.
Comment: Private parties currently use the chutes and vaults located in

ordinance, in order for a person to use a chute or a vault, the person will
need to execute a written agreement with the City. Such a "right-of-way
agreement" is how the City presently regulates other private uses of the
public right-of-way. The agreement will require the private party to
assume the risk of using the right-of-way, to indemnify the City for claims,
and to provide general liability and casualty insurance. See three staff
memoranda in Council packet for further information.
