Texas State Rally, Inc., a company organized by a division of Harley-Davidson Motor
Company, is staging this year's Texas State Harley -Owners Group Rally in Corpus Christi.
Festivities will include an evening of dining and entertainment on Chaparral Street.
The special events/street closing process will be used to provide a centralized parking area
for participants' motorcycles during the evening of September 5 and early morning of September
6. The rally sponsor indicates that Harley-Davidson Motor Company does not sponsor user -group
street festivals and will not provide liability insurance for associated street closings and festivities.

goods, or uses of public right-of-way other than for motorcycle parking, the city will not require the
liability insurance customarily obtained in accordance with Corpus Christi Code Section 49-17(c).

OF CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Corpus Christi Code Section 49-17(c)'s liability insurance requirement is
