ITEM EXPLANATION: The La Costa 35 Athletic Club has requested the use of Stagecoach Park on March 5, 11, and 12, 1989, for their Second Annual "Swing with your Heart Softball Tournament". The proceeds of the tournament will be distributed for the benefit of two injured children (Exhibit 1). Under Council Policy #37, the tournament would be classified as a high hazard activity because it involves the service and sale of alcoholic beverages (Exhibit 2). As a result, the club would be required to provide two million dollar ($2,000,000) worth of general liability insurance coverage. The Club has requested that the City Council waive the general liability insurance requirements because of the high cost of acquiring the coverage and the difficulty they have experienced in attempting to find a source to provide it. As a matter of information, other user groups have also complained about the difficulty they have experienced in attempting to comply with the requirements of Council Policy #37 for their various events. Due to the number of organizations currently experiencing difficulty in complying with the liability insurance requirements as outlined in Council Policy #37; it is recommended Council consider a temporary waiver for other youth and adult sports organizations. Additionally, it is recommended the City Council direct staff to .review the existing policy and find a satisfactory solution to the prob:sm created by the inability of sports organizations to secu-_ Leasonable liability insurance rates. FISCAL IMPACT: While there is no direct fiscal impact, substantial losses could be incurred from any claims which result from uninsured activities. EXHIBITS: 1.
