Summary

Trustees approved the Park and Recreation Department's request to use the library parking lot for Pumpkin Fest activities, contingent on a certificate of insurance listing the City of Laconia and the Laconia Public Library as additional insured.

Trustee Marie Bradley moved to approve the Park and Recreation Department's request to use the Laconia Public Library parking lot for Pumpkin Fest activities, provided the certificate of insurance lists both the City of Laconia and the Laconia Public Library as additional insured. Trustee Angela Vaillancourt seconded the motion; the minutes record the motion passed unanimously.

The board's approval is conditional on the certificate of insurance requirements stated in the motion; the minutes do not record additional operational conditions such as times, set-up, staffing, or public safety measures. The approval places responsibility on Park and Recreation to secure required insurance naming the municipal entities as additional insured before using library property for the event.

Why it matters: permits community events on library property while clarifying insurance requirements to reduce municipal liability exposure.
