The Commission requested that the provision of liability insurance be explored between Staff and the Merchant ' s Association. This aspect is discussed below. Liability Provisions Staff has investigated the provisions of liability insurance and discussed this with the City ' s Insurance Broker and the Merchant ' s Association. Mr . Scott Thompson, representing the Merchant ' s Association indicated that the property owners have policies and that in the past, they did not add single event coverage to their policy for groups using the property. Staff has followed up with Mr . Fernandez regarding the City ' s coverage . He indicated that the most appropriate method of handling the matter is to have each group show proof of liability insurance . He stated that most bonafied non- profit groups have coverage which their insurance broker can provide a copy of the certificate to the City. Those groups who do not have appropriate coverage will be required to obtain coverage if they wish to participate . This assures that the City ' s exposure to any risk may be shared by those participating . It is also representative of prudent risk management .
