1993Plaintiffs concurrently attack subsection (C), which allows for a waiver of the insurance requirement if the city manager perceives no “substantial or significant public liability for property damage exposure.” In H-CHH Associates v. Citizens for Representative Government (1987) 193 Cal.App.3d 1193, 1218-1219 [ 238 Cal.Rptr. 841 ], the court held that a similarly worded standard, for imposing insurance on pamphleteers at a shopping center, was too vague to satisfy constitutional requirements.

2017Nevertheless, the interpretation we adopt is supported by Ducey v. U.S. (9th Cir. 1983) 713 F.2d 504 (Ducey), in which the Ninth Circuit construed a similarly worded exception in Nevada’s recreational immunity statute that, like section 846, “does not specify to whom consideration must be tendered.” (Ducey, at p. 513.) The Ninth Circuit concluded that “consideration must be tendered directly or indirectly to a person who has the power to grant or deny permission to participate in recreational activities” for the exception to apply.
