Re: City Volunteer policy
Background: Last year there was considerable Council discussion regarding insurance for
volunteers for the Olgilvie pollinator planting project and subsequent discussion at the Parks
and Recreation Committee regarding utilizing volunteers. At the June, 2016 work session the
Council recommended looking at establishing a volunteer policy. A draft of a policy was
reviewed by the Council at the April 5 work session.
The April draft has been reviewed and modified by legal counsel. Additionally language has
been added to address identification and approval of projects and revising the process for Eagle
Scouts when projects are not park -related.
The draft is being submitted for comment and review by the Council. Based on the
comments provided, the policy will be presented for consideration at the May City
Council meeting.
