Relating to the authority of certain counties to enact certain park use rules.

Contracts

• Vendor Agreements: Update Master Services Agreements (MSAs) for any vendor operating in Waller County parks. Insert clauses requiring strict adherence to "rules promulgated by the Board of Park Commissioners."
• Indemnification: Expand indemnification provisions to hold vendors liable for civil penalties (up to $1,000 per violation) resulting from their staff's non-compliance with park rules.
• Force Majeure: Ensure "governmental action" or "change in local ordinance" is a trigger allowing you to cancel or modify an event without penalty if new Board rules render the event operationally impossible.

Hiring/Training

• Site Management: Event managers must be trained on the specific prohibitions once published (e.g., glass bans, vehicle restrictions).
• Security Briefings: Security personnel must be briefed on the distinction between Board rules (enforceable) and general guidelines to avoid false enforcement actions.

Reporting & Record-Keeping

• Permit Display: If the Board establishes a permit system for commercial use, physical proof of the permit must be maintained on-site at all times.
• Incident Logs: Update incident reporting forms to align with any specific data requirements the Board may mandate regarding injuries or property damage within park limits.

Fees & Costs

• Civil Penalties: Budget for potential risk of fines up to $1,000 per violation for non-compliance.
• Permitting Fees: Anticipate new fee schedules for commercial access or exclusive use of park facilities as the Board exercises its new authority to generate revenue/manage usage.
