Board tables virtual-reality policy pending city-attorney review; language on minor waivers to be clarified
Summary
Trustees reviewed a virtual-reality center policy and waiver forms (including an age-recommendation of 13) and voted to table final approval so staff can run revised language by the city attorney and clarify minor/parental-waiver wording.
Trustees reviewed a proposed virtual‑reality (VR) center policy and related waiver forms on March 23 and decided to delay final approval so the city attorney can review revisions. Board members flagged wording that could confuse whether an adult is signing on behalf of a minor, where the participant name should appear on the form, and recommended clearer phrasing in the minor‑child waiver.
One trustee summarized the concern about the minor waiver language and suggested a simple edit: the waiver should read, “I understand that in order for my minor child to participate…,” to make clear the adult is signing for the child. Trustees also noted the policy references a 13‑year age recommendation (cited from vendor guidance) for VR participation and asked staff to confirm insurer and legal input.
After discussion, a trustee moved to table the policy while staff make the minor wording changes and consult the city attorney. The motion was seconded and carried. The board emphasized these were minor edits but wanted legal sign‑off before adopting the new forms and policy.
