Title
APPROVING BLANKET TEMPORARY USE AGREEMENT FORM
Body
BACKGROUND:
The MCRA receives numerous requests each year to use CRA-owned property for events and other purposes. In February of 2011 the CRA Board approved a blanket Hold Harmless Agreement for applicants to execute in conjunction with the use of the property, in order to protect the City and CRA from any claims, suits or judgments. The CRA also has provisions in its Event Policy requiring insurance and stipulating that the property is to be cleared of any debris after the event. However these provisions are not included together in a formal agreement to be executed by the user. The attached Temporary Use Agreement includes the hold harmless and insurance provisions, describes the payment amount and terms, stipulates that the property must be cleared of any debris at the end of the use period, and states that the use must comply with all applicable regulations. The Agreement also states that if the use is for an event permitted through the CRA's Event Policy, the provisions included in that policy must be adhered to. If approved, this Agreement will replace the Hold Harmless form.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the use of the blanket Temporary Use Agreement form.
