Commission flags insurance and performance-bond language in grants contract for follow-up
Summary
Commissioners questioned a clause naming the city as additional insured and a performance-bond provision in the draft tourism-promotion agreement; staff will consult HR/risk management and return with clarification before final contract approval.
Commissioners raised concerns about standard insurance and performance-bond clauses included in the tourism-promotion agreement for LTAC-funded recipients.
One commissioner asked whether naming the city as an additional insured had been enforced historically; staff said it is typical for rentals or events on city property but may not be necessary for grant funding alone. The clerk said she would consult HR/risk management for guidance: "I reached out to, human resources who is risk management, and she gave me the standard reply... so I can revisit it with her and inquire more." Commissioners also questioned a performance-bond clause that applies when funds received equal or exceed $40,000; they agreed it is a nonissue at present, but asked staff to confirm and remove or annotate unnecessary clauses before presenting the final contract in November.
Staff will follow up with HR/risk management and with Walla Walla counterparts to confirm whether the additional-insured requirement and the performance-bond language should remain in the template.
