The City has been advised that the sports associations can no longer obtain this liability insurance at a reasonable cost, if at all. The sports associations have asked the City to drop the requirement that they maintain liability insurance. In connection with this request, the City has asked that we review recent statutes to determine the liability of the City if the sports associations no longer maintain liability insurance. In the following discussion, I have analyzed the two most relevant statutes on this topic. First, Minnesota Statutes, §604.08(1) provides that no volunteer athletic coach of a non-profit organization and no community-based, voluntary non-profit athletic association or any volunteer of such an association, is liable for monetary damage to a player or participant caused as a result of the individual's acts or omissions in providing service or assist- ance to a player or participant. This section by its terms protects volunteer coaches and non-profit sports associations from such liability. This section may also provide immunity DoBSEY & WHITNEY from liability against claims made by injured sports partici- pants against unpaid directors, if such directors sidered volunteers of the non-profit athletic Additionally, this section, by its terms, applies sports competitions and practice and instruction in association. to organized that sport. Second, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, §466.02 the City of Edina would not be liable for injuries sustained by a sports participant that occurred on the property provided by the City for recreational purposes. Section 466.02 states the general rule that every municipality is subject to liability for its torts and those of its officers, employees and agents acting within the scope of their employment or duties. However, Section 466.03(6e) provides an exception to this general rule of municipality tort liability. Subdivision (6e) states an exemption for any claim based upon the construction, operation, or maintenance of any property owned or leased by the municipality that is intended or permitted to be used as a park, as an open area for recreational purposes, or for the provision of recreational services, if the claim arises from a loss incurred by a user of park and recreational property or services. Additionally, this subdivision has been drafted broadly enough to protect the City from liability even if the City does not own the recreational property, it is sufficient if the City is merely leasing property for use as a recreational field. Both statutes are relatively new and are untested. Therefore, whether or not they would hold up in a court action or how they may be limited or interpreted, is not yet known. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me. Very truly yours, TToaAsS .

TO: All Edina Youth Athletic FROM: Association Pre idents John Keprios, Assistant Director Edina Park and Recreation Department RE: Edina Park Board Policy on Drugs in Sports DATE: December 11, 1985 At the December 10, 1985, Edina Park Board meeting, the Edina Park Board unanimously passed the enclosed policy statement regarding the use of alcohol, drugs and tobacco in Edina's youth sports programs. This policy was established upon request of all athletic associations in a meeting held earlier this year with all Edina athletic association presidents and Edina Park and Recreation Department staff. The newly established policy is for the most part a duplicate of the Edina Hockey Association's current policy. The Edina Park Board commended the E.H.A. for their thorough and well thought-out policy. The major impact of this policy is that it addresses both punishment and rehabilitation for prohibited conduct. Plus, if a youth is found in violation of the conduct rule, he or she becomes ineligible to par- ticipate in all Edina youth athletic association sports programs that he or she is registered in at that time. Every Edina youth athletic association is encouraged to establish their own alcohol, tobacco and drug policy that best applies to their partic- ular sport. Please use these newly established Edina Park Board policy guidlines as a minimum when establishing your own policy. We realize that we must rely heavily on our volunteer coaches to help enforce these policies and we strongly encourage all athletic associations to address this matter at all of your coaches clinics. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please call me at 927-8861 ext. 231. We hope that this is the acceptable and work- able policy that was requested earlier this year. Thank you for your efforts in helping keep our young athletes healthy and drug free. It EDINA PARK BOARD POLICY STATEMENT REGARDING THE USE OF ALCOHOL, TOBACCO AND DRUGS IN SPORTS In efforts to eliminate the use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs (when not prescribed by a medical doctor) by young athletes in Edina's sports programs, the Edina Park Board has established the following policy guidelines. Prohibited Conduct Any Edina youth (under 19 years of age) sports participant shall not use or consume, have in possession, buy, sell or give away any beverage containing alcohol, tobacco• in any form, or marijuana or other substance defined by applicable law as a drug (unless specifically prescribed by a medical doctor for the player's own use) during games, practices, team trips, or any other Edina youth sports function. Particiants who violate this rule shall be sus- pended from participation in all Edina youth athletic association sponsored activities for the time specified below: a. First Violation After confirmation of the first violation, the player shall lose eligi- bility for the next two (2) consecuitve games or two (2) weeks of the season, whichever is greater. If the incident is drug or alcohol related, he/she must also visit with the Edina Chemical Health Counselor. b. Second Violation After confirmation of the second violation, the participant shall lose eligibility for the next six (6) consecutive games or four (4) weeks of the season, whichever is greater. He/she must also visit with the Edina Chemical Heaith Counselor. c. Third and Subsequent Violations , 1. After confirmation of the third or subsequent violations, the Participant shall lose eligibility in all Edina youth athletic association programs for one full year. 2. If after the third violation, the individual becomes a participant in a chemical dependency program or treatment program, the individual may be certified for reinstatement in Edina youth sport activities after a minimum period of six (6) weeks. Such certification must be issued by the Director or a counselor of a chemical dependency center.
