[Added 6-18-2002 by Ord. No. 10-02]
A.
The Charter Club shall be in good standing with its national
or regional organization, and shall conduct itself in accordance with the
rules and regulations of that organization so as to remain in good standing.
A copy of all published rules of the organization must be filed with the Recreation
Director at least 30 days prior to the start of annual club activity and updated
on an annual basis.
B.
A copy of the Charter Club's current bylaws, policies
or other operating documents shall be on file with the Recreation Director.
C.
The Charter Club shall provide proof of insurance in
the form of a valid certificate of insurance naming the Borough of Florham
Park as an additional insured, to be filed with the Borough Administrator
at least 30 days prior to the start of annual Club activity. The Charter Club
shall release and hold harmless and indemnify the Borough of Florham Park
and the Recreation Department from any and all payments, expenses, costs,
attorney fees and from and for any and all claims and liability for losses
or damage to property or injuries to persons occasioned wholly or in part
by or resulting from any acts or omissions by the Charter Club or its agents,
participants, members, directors, officers, guest, licensees, invitees or
for any cause or reason whatsoever arising out of or by reason of the use
of Borough recreational facilities by the Charter Club.
D.
The Charter Club shall provide the Recreation Director
with a list of all officers and members of the Club's grievance committee
within 15 days of their appointments, including names, addresses, e-mail addresses,
phone and fax numbers.
E.
The Charter Club shall provide the Recreation Director
a list of all current participants in the Charter Club, including names, addresses
and phone numbers prior to the start of each season and update the list as
changes are made.
F.
The Charter Club shall provide a list of coaches, including
names, addresses, e-mail addresses, phone and fax numbers to the Recreation
Director at least 30 days prior to the start of the Club's season. All
coaches must be NYSCA certified. Failure to hold a current certification will
prohibit the individual from coaching at any level.
G.
In order to utilize Borough fields and facilities efficiently,
and to minimize any potential conflicts in field use, practice schedules must
be filed with the Recreation Director at least 30 days prior to the start
of the Charter Club's season and game schedules must be filed as soon
as they are available prior to the start of the season. It is the desire of
the Borough to work cooperatively with the Charter Club scheduling representatives
so as to coordinate and best meet the needs of various users of fields and
facilities. The schedule will include practice schedules, travel team and
intramural schedules, as well as coaches responsible during those scheduled
times. All schedules are subject to the approval of the Recreation Director
and may be subject to alteration based on availability of facilities.
H.
Each Charter Club shall establish a grievance committee,
separate and apart from its board of directors. The purpose of the grievance
committee is to handle grievances by Club members and participants. All grievances
must first be considered by the Charter Club's grievance committee. Any
unresolved matters may then be submitted to the Recreation Director. Matters
not resolved at that level may be referred to the Borough Administrator. Either
party may appeal the decision of the Borough Administrator to the Borough
Council whose decision shall be final. Matters other than alleged violations
of the Charter Club's bylaws or the provisions of this section shall
be adjudicated solely within the organization.
