Legal Question especially for Alison and Vicki.
Emily
our dog group is supposed to sign with the Park District. I would love
to know--before my Wedneday meeting--what Vicki, Alison or any of the
rest of you, had to sign to get your park. In this case it is a hold
harmless clause to say our group will never sue the city for anything
that happens in the park If you could send me copies of your agreement
or just the liability section that would be great. Just send to me
directly at dogp...@comcast.net. Thanks Emily Rosenberg

something, the city may want each volunteer to sign that they're doing it at
that moment on their own and acknowledge if they get hurt doing it, the city
isn't liable. That's an individual issue.
Also, our city took care of liability with signs that say that you enter at
your own risk and the rules state that the city isn't liable in case anyone
gets hurt. Our MOU then has the city protecting us..
You really can make a strong case if they'll listen to you. Our biggest
challenge was for them to view us as individuals and not a group who uses
the park. Once they get the fact that we have no more control than they do
about who uses it, they may understand better

I meant to send it to the group as it preceeds my last answer.
