Based on the discussion with LMCIT, the City would be expected to assume the liability
coverage for the parade, ambassador coronation, and business expo and Bingo, 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.
The City has, in past years, waived event and parade permits for non - profit activities, such as
the parade, 5K and business expo as its in -kind donation to the community festival. Because of
the change of location to Lino Park, the Public Safety Director is requiring a police officer be
present on Lake Drive at Lino Park from noon — 4 p.m. on Saturday, August 18. The Blue
Heron Days Committee is requesting a waiver of the fee for an on -duty officer for those four
hours.
