RESOLUTION

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Title: Establishing Hillsdale Hoops as a Quasi-Public Entity

 

WHEREAS, the Borough of Hillsdale is a participating member of the Bergen County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund (hereinafter referred to as the “Fund”) relative to general liability and other coverage; and

 

WHEREAS, the Fund has adopted certain criteria to distinguish between bona fide municipal activities and other quasi-public entities not sponsored by the municipality and, therefore, not subject to coverage by the Fund; and

 

WHEREAS, it has been determined that in order to be covered by the Fund, an organization or activity must meet the test that its function is of the type that historically municipalities have undertaken themselves or have provided with insurance coverage or is one which advances a bona fide local public purpose on a non-profit basis typically met by a local government, the benefits of which are available to the municipality in general; and

 

                WHEREAS, the Borough certifies that the listed organization exists within the Borough of Hillsdale as a bona fide charitable, educational or recreational activity of the municipality in general and as such, is sponsored or subsidized directly or indirectly by the municipality;

Name:                        Hillsdale Hoops Association, Inc.

                            Activity:                    Boys and Girls Basketball  

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that

 a) The Mayor and Council of the Borough of Hillsdale certifies that the classification of Hillsdale Hoops, Inc. is changed from Class III to Class IV for Joint Insurance Fund purposes.

 

b) The Borough of Hillsdale does hereby request that the organization described herein be named as additionally named insured for general liability and non-owned automobile coverages in accordance with the applicable limits and restrictions.

 

c) A certified copy of this Resolution, together with the “General Application” shall be filed with the Secretary of the Bergen County Municipal Joint Insurance Fund.

 

            The Borough states that this resolution is intended solely to clarify the status of the Hillsdale Hoops Association, Inc. as a Quasi-Public organization for insurance purposes under JIF requirements.  It does not change the operation of this organization or give it more rights or responsibilities than those granted by the Hillsdale Recreation Commission with respect to facility use or other operating guidelines.  If this organization does not comply with these guidelines, including, but not limited to, scheduling court time through the Hillsdale Recreation Department, the Borough’s designation of Hillsdale Hoops Association Inc. as a quasi-public entity for inclusion in the Borough’s JIF insurance coverage may be withdrawn by Council resolution.
