Live Oak staff present draft resolution to establish volunteer litter‑removal program; indemnification rules proposed
Summary
City staff read a draft resolution (Resolution No. 202059) proposing a volunteer city litter and trash removal program that would require waivers, set minimum age/supervision rules and clarify the city's provision (or non‑provision) of supplies; no formal vote was recorded in the transcript excerpt.
City staff presented a draft resolution titled "A resolution of the City Council of the City of Live Oak, Florida adopting a policy for a volunteer city litter and trash removal program," identified in the meeting materials as Resolution No. 202059.
The staff member reading the draft said Exhibit A to the resolution sets out the purpose and organization of a volunteer program. The policy would allow the city to publicize volunteer opportunities, list duties for volunteers and specify items the city is not required to provide, such as rubber gloves, garbage bags and reflective vests.
The draft includes indemnification and hold‑harmless agreements: one form for adults (age 18 or over) and a separate form for minors. The policy also states children under age 12 may not participate and that minors must be supervised at all times.
City staff explained the rules are designed to reduce participant injury and the city—s liability. The staff member said the resolution "provides for severability, providing for conflicts, and providing for an effective date" and that Exhibit A is the policy to be adopted by the resolution.
No formal vote or final action on the resolution is recorded in the provided transcript excerpt; the recorder shows the draft was read into the record and city staff described the program details. The item appears later on the agenda after the hedging directive discussion.
