I am curious, when events were held in the Community Center at the Old =
Post Office, what procedure was followed there?

Thank you for your response, Jerry.

  Bill,

  in this increasing sue-happy country, it is not only prudent for =
rental spaces to require insurance, but necessary, and should be =
required to protect the venue and the participants. =20

  The Council as mangers of the 1912 facility are acting accordingly, =
and responsibly.

  Other public venues in town including the Eastside Marketplace and the =
Kenworthy, already have these kind of insurance requirements in place.   =
This action by the City levels the playing field and protects the City =
and the 1912 Centre.

  The affordability of such a policy should not be a question as alcohol =
vendors are required to have a general liability policy as a requirement =
for their Alcohol Vendors License.  Naming an additionally insured, and =
receiving a certificate does not usually cost anything, or if it does it =
is minimal.

    Now the city staff suggests that $1 million in liability insurance =
is needed for any alcohol event on city property (see below).=20
    If the Council agrees, what will happen to events like wedding =
receptions at the 1912 Building?=20
    Will any local caterers be able to afford the insurance?=20
    Will this proposal eliminate a major source of funding for the 1912 =
