r.`K.a.Fro�`� �-�.. � _,
Our Fair Carousel (OFC) operatars of the Carousel will suspend operating the Carousel betwe�
April 15, 1995 and mid September while a marketing plan is put in place and executed in the
hopes of attracting better ridership in the fa71. It is hoped that the opening of the
Chi]drens Museum wil] he]p increase ridership. During this period OEC cannot afford to pay
liability insurance since they will not be receiving any revenue.
The Carousel will have liability coverage and can remain in place in Town Square Park.
Access to the Carousel wiii be restricted so anyone on the Carousel will be trespassing,
making tfie chances of a iiability claim slim.

The possibility of a liability claim against the City exists.
OFC has not had such a claim in the four years they've operated the Carousel.
iA�VANTqGE51F NOTAPPROVED:
The Carouse] will have to be dismantled, placed in storage and then re-assembled in
September. This procedure would be costly, time consuming and it could result in
damage to the Carousel. ���,A;� ���g� ���
