Hi Sam, and others.
I would like to politely request that anyone sharing documents please consider contributing these docs to the bike collectives wikihttp://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page. Also, if you haven't been there, there's A TON of writing and documents that have already been posted.
I would totally recommend anyone who's interested in soaking up previous work in our field to check it out. It took me a few attempts to get to the meat of the content, but it's there. It will take some poking around on your part to find the good stuff. Like most of our work, the wiki is run by volunteers--mostly volunteers who are also on this list--and I'm guessing you're all familiar with how busy volunteers are...
Anyway, check out this page:
http://www.bikecollectives.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:SpecialPages
which has a bunch of links to pages sorted in different ways. (ie, long pages, short pages, old/new, etc.) An interesting and somewhat unique way to browse such a resource.
While I miss a lot of the dialogue from this list in years past, I am excited about some of the conversations that have been happening lately. Feels like our movement is growing up a little bit. Surely I'm not the only one who feels like this?
josh.

Yesterday I had the chance to meet with a lawyer to go over our insurance policy and to discuss liability waivers. The Bozeman Bike Kitchen currently has a basic business coverage insurance which will cover the organization in the event of a lawsuit but does not cover us from injuries incurred on-site, does not cover the property itself, nor does it cover the board of directors. I am looking for recommendations regarding types of insurance tailored for an organization like ours. Particularly renters insurance (for our property) and Errors and Omissions insurance (for our board of directors).
Secondly, our lawyer strongly recommended a series of liability waivers be added to our check-in and check-out process for both volunteers coming to work as well as for individuals receiving a bicycle. We have begun work on a volunteer waiver but have nothing for a bicycle release waiver. I am requesting to receive templates of these documents from other organizations.
Please contact me off-list with recommendations and attachments. Please reply on-list with general statements that will benefit the entire group.
Sincerely, Sam Haraldson
