Veterans Advisory Committee <br /> Minutes November 26,2019 <br /> Page 18 <br /> Wery: It's always been an issue. Liability has always been an issue because nobody <br /> wants to be held liable. It's an issue with everything. <br /> Sheridan: Who's going to get hurt from a blank? <br /> Chair Doolittle: Right, or who's going to get hurt when 100 people gather for a <br /> memorial? <br /> Lewis: Well, we won't solve it today, but I will say that I always want to know what <br /> triggered it. We had a lot more requirements this year for the parade. <br /> Sheridan: And we're looking at a list of things to send to the Mayor, this is one of them. <br /> Yoshimoto: I can ask the question. <br /> Lewis: That would be great, if you could at least ask the question, did something change? <br /> Were we just not adhering to something in the past? Was there a new person in the office <br /> that didn't understand? Sometimes it's the craziest result of why. <br /> Yoshimoto: I'll ask the question, it's just sometimes be aware that when you ask the <br /> question, you may not like the answer. <br /> Lewis: Well we're prepared that we have to get insurance now. I'm certainly when we <br /> get our thing, will say ok, well how much more will it cost if I add that activity on the day <br /> of. <br /> Yoshimoto: I'll follow up. <br /> Wery: You've always had to have insurance for the parade, and you had to have on the <br /> insurance the State and the County, both. <br /> Yoshimoto: Ok, I'm sorry, so what changed? <br /> Lewis: Their understanding of having to pay for liability insurance for a separate early <br /> morning ceremony that they start on the day of the parade. <br /> Yoshimoto: So, that's over and beyond what Emile is saying? <br /> Lewis: Yes, cause that's the parade. I`ve been doing now, five parades, but the idea is in <br /> all the five parades, I've never had to list the offices, even though you said, whatever I <br /> got from the insurance people covered it. But this year was not good enough. It had to go <br /> back three times and it took three weeks to get the paperwork fixed to meet the need. <br /> What happened is, American Legion asked if it was ok, I said ok. Then they found out <br /> that they had to have special insurance for it. <br />
