Ancram board adds right-to-refuse language, insurance requirement to pavilion rules
Summary
The town board agreed to add explicit language giving the board authority to refuse or terminate pavilion events that violate rules, to display reservation signage and make the calendar visible online, and to require insurance riders or certificates for rentals.
The board reviewed previously approved pavilion rules and added language giving the town the right to refuse an application or terminate an event when rules are violated (noise, overtime, or other infractions). Members asked staff to make the reservation calendar visible on the new website and to install a prominent 'reserved' sign for rented dates.
On insurance, the town's insurance broker advised the board to require additional-insured certificates for rentals as an extra layer of protection. The clerk noted that traditional rental insurance often covers personal property rather than liability, so staff will research how to require insurance without unduly excluding renters with limited means. "Maybe I should look into exactly how we can do that," the supervisor said; staff will consult the town's insurer and report back.
