(b) In exercising such traffic control jurisdiction, the City shall enforce the
traffic laws generally applicable to streets and highways under the City's original

shall enforce the speed limit established by Owner, in Owner's sole discretion, for the
Private Roads, which speed limit Owner shall post along the Private Roads by
appropriate signage.
(c) The City's exercise of traffic control jurisdiction pursuant to this Agreement

jurisdiction, even when not requested by Owner; provided, however, the City shall not
be entitled to any compensation from Owner pursuant to Paragraph 3 below for

pay the City any compensation for performing police services pursuant to this
Agreement. This shall not preclude the assessment of impact fees or other fees
provided by law.

the date hereof and ending one (1) year following the date hereof, and shall thereafter

property damage or bodily injury, including death, sustained by any person
whomsoever, which said claim, demand, suit, loss, cost, expense or damage arises out

employees. In support, but not in limitation of this indemnification provision, Owner
hereby agrees to maintain and pay all premiums for a policy of comprehensive general
liability insurance in an amount of not less then $300,000 combined single limit
