CITY OF LITTLE CANADA RAMSEY COUNTY, MINNESOTA Office of: JOSEPH G. CHLEBECK, Clerk 515 Little Canada Road Little Canada, Minn. 55117 484 -2177 October 22, 1981 Mr. Dick McNamara McNamara Insurance Co. 1330 Highway 96 St. Paul, Minnesota 55110 Dear Mr. McNamara: MAYOR Raymond Henson COUNCI L- Micheel Fahey Beverly scalze Dennis Forsberg Mugs Nerdinl The purpose of this letter is to determine the scope of the liability coverage of the policy of the City of Little Canada regarding our Recrea- tion propram. I am the City Council Member whose area of responsibility is liaison to the Departments of Parks and Recreation. First, I will briefly describe our program, and then pose some hypo- thetical questions regarding liability. Our program is almost entirely a youth - oriented one. The City of Little Canada owns none of the facilities used for recreation, but ar- ranges the rental and provides maintenance of them. The City directly hires the Director of Recreation, two assistant Directors, and other temporary employees needed to maintain the facilities and instruct some of the programs. (not including coaches). The facilities used are the gymnasiums, ball fields and hockey rink of the Roseville School District, the ball field of St. John's Church, a hockey rink on the property of the Water Department of St. Paul, and a City -built tennis court located on parkland owned by the Roseville School District and leased by Little Canada. The actual program operation is done by the Little Canada Recreation Association (a private corporation) under the direction of the City - Recreation Director and the two assistants. The L.C.R.A. also provides extra funds to subsidize the program through their fund - raising activities. When a youth registers for a program, the entry fee is paid to L.C.R.A. for program funding, and a waiver of liability is signed by the parent or guardian (see enclosed sample).
