[Ord. No. 2018:08]
a.
No group of persons shall, on Borough recreational property, conduct an organized activity without first obtaining a permit in accordance with the provisions set forth in the chapter. An independent organization or person may exempt itself from this Section 19-2A if it enters into a separate agreement with the Borough of New Milford.
b.
Application for a recreational permit shall be made to the Director
of the Recreation Department on forms prescribed and furnished by
such official. Each application shall also be accompanied by a schedule
of the proposed dates, times of day, and an estimate of the number
of vehicles and persons participating. No fee will be charged for
any activity that substantially benefits the Borough of New Milford
or its residents (as determined by the Director of the Recreation
Department and Borough Administrator). A fee of $50 will be charged
for all activities that do not substantially benefit the Borough of
New Milford or its residents. This permit fee is for permit processing
and is the same for both single and multiple use licenses.
c.
All applications for a permit under this chapter shall be referred
by the Director of the Recreation Department. After examination of
the schedule, and the effect that it would have on Borough Programs,
surrounding property, businesses and residents, the Director of the
Recreation Department shall make a determination as to whether the
permit should be granted or denied, and, if granted, on what terms
and conditions it will be granted. Such conditions may require a change
of date, change of time of day, or other specifics.
d.
No permit shall be issued under this chapter unless the organization
requesting the permit furnishes the following level of insurance.
1.
Governmental Units Which Are Affiliated with the Member Town but
Are Autonomous:
Requirements: The member town may apply to the Joint Insurance
Fund (hereinafter "JIF") to include these entities into the member
town's insurance program. Otherwise, these entities are treated as
unaffiliated nonprofit organizations for purposes of indemnification
and insurance requirements.
2.
Governmental Units Which Are Not Affiliated with the Member Town:
Requirements: These entities are treated as unaffiliated, nonprofit
organizations provided, however, that a member town shall not require
another member town to provide an insurance certificate. (Annually
the JIF issues a blanket certificate and hold harmless to all member
towns to avoid the need for one member town to request a certificate
and hold harmless from another member town.)
3.
Nonprofit Entities (Quasi Municipal):
Requirements: In order to be included in the member town's insurance
program, the member town must adopt a resolution requesting coverage
from the Joint Insurance Fund, which will be reviewed by the Coverage
Committee prior to consideration by the Joint Insurance Fund's Executive
Committee in accordance with the JIF's quasi municipal policy, described
earlier. Otherwise, these organizations will be treated as unaffiliated,
nonprofit entities for purposes of indemnification and insurance requirements.
4.
Nonprofit Entities (Unaffiliated):
Requirements: One million ($1,000,000.00) dollar limit of liability
for general liability coverage, and full indemnification and hold
harmless.
5.
Nonprofit Entities (Unaffiliated Individuals):
Requirements: One million ($1,000,000.00) dollar limit of liability
for general liability coverage, and full indemnification and hold
harmless.
6.
For Profit:
Requirements: One million ($1,000,000.00) dollar limit of liability
for general liability coverage, and full indemnification and hold
harmless.
e.
Any such policy of insurance shall be issued by companies authorized
to do business in the State of New Jersey, and shall be approved as
to form by the Borough's Risk Manager and attorney before issuance
of the permit.
