Board reviews edited Corn Festival lease; insurance and electrician requirements clarified
Summary
Board members reviewed edits to the 2026 Corn Festival agreement prepared by Hawkins Law Office, including a requirement that the lessee furnish liability insurance (certificate as Exhibit 2) and provide a qualified electrician for electrical hookups.
Board members reviewed edits to the 2026 Corn Festival lease prepared by Hawkins Law Office, the chair said. Changes in the 2026 draft include updated grammar and definitions, an explicit requirement that the lessee maintain liability insurance with the certificate of insurance appearing as Exhibit 2 rather than only a reference in the agreement, and a new explicit requirement that a duly qualified electrician make electrical connections.
The chair said the council will review the contract and that the Corn Festival is about two months away. No formal vote on the lease was recorded in the transcript during this meeting; the chair said the city council will look it over and proceed from there.
Why it matters: clarifying insurance and safety requirements (electrician requirement) reduces ambiguity about who is responsible for event safety and liability.
Next steps: the council will review the edited lease and the board expects further action before the festival.
