City approves Redemption Hill Church park use for Aug. 4— community outreach
Summary
Redeption Hill Bible Church will use Hickman City Park Aug. 4— for a VBS-style kids program and a family block party; council approval is contingent on existing insurance naming the city as additional insured and any further required documentation for animals and bounce houses.
HICKMAN, Neb.
The Hickman City Council on July 22 granted non-exclusive use of Hickman City Park to Redemption Hill Bible Church for evening childrens outreach events Aug. 4— and a family block-party celebration on Aug. 7, pending confirmation of insurance and any additional safety measures for animals and inflatables.
Pastor Sam Larson and elder Craig Wrath told the council the events are free and open to families, will feature games, crafts, snacks, short Bible lessons and a concluding family celebration. The church requested permission to grill and serve food, rent a snow-cone trailer, set up bounce houses and host a mobile petting zoo with handled, corralled animals. "We have provided a general aggregate insurance policy of $1 million naming the city as additional insured," Larson said.
Staff asked for standard assurances for events that include animals and inflatables: separation of animal enclosures from food-preparation areas, proof of vaccinations, handlers on site and sanitary plans for animal areas. Council approved the request pending any additional insurance language required by the citys insurer.
Council asked the church to coordinate food arrangements with the concession-stand operator when applicable. The motion to approve the park use was made and passed on roll call.
