Committee seeks certificate of insurance, contract clarity for inflatables and climbing wall

Organizers said they are working to finalize a contract with an inflatables vendor that will supply climbing walls, bungee attractions and slides for the event; a committee member said the contract cost was "I think it comes in this $45.35," and the group agreed that a certificate of insurance and explicit liability language are required before deployment. Committee members asked the vendor to list staffing, generator decibel specs and responsibilities in writing.

Why it matters: rides and inflatables introduce safety and liability considerations for the town and event organizers. The committee insisted the vendor provide insurance coverage and a certificate naming the committee as an insured party and said attendees and volunteers should be informed about attendant behavior and family-friendly staffing. The committee also discussed logistical needs (hoses and water supply for certain inflatables) and set a deadline for contract language to be finalized before the program deadline.
