Councilman Province questioned if this would remove the city’s liability. Jason explained for unemployment and workman’s compensation the risk is not with the city, but with the 501C3 organization. Councilman Province recommended the document be reviewed by the City Attorney to determine the city’s liability for personal injury. Mr. Wilkie was instructed to get an opinion from the City Attorney and contact committee members individually.
