Chamber Business Expo and Lino Lakes Ambassador coronation. City staff and

private property or public property, as described below.

would be expected to assume the
liability coverage for the parade, ambassador coronation, and business expo, in
consideration of the host group, existence of liability insurance and event location.
These activities are not excluded activities under the City's current liability insurance;
therefore, they are covered without any additional cost to the City. The increased
involvement of the City providing liability insurance may result in an increased
exposure to claims against the City for these covered events and the festival as a
whole. Staff has requested a certificate of insurance from the other groups hosting
activities as well as being an additional insured for activities occurring on City property.
COUNCIL ACTION
1. Approve Resolution No. 11 -73 providing Liability Insurance for Certain Blue
Heron Days Events
2. Deny the provision of liability insurance for the events.
