Security Policy - Boathouse

In order to better maintain the security of the boathouse and its contents the following policies
have been established and are effective in the spring of 2009:

     1.    There will be two separate keys for the boathouse:
                    1. The South Bays will contain all club boats.
                    2. The North Bay will contain privately owned recreation boats, racing kayaks and canoes.

     2.     The key for the South Bays shall be provided to coaches and individuals only as
             determined by the Head Coach and Paddling Director.

     3.     The key for the North Bay shall be provided to the parents of paddlers, (or Masters Paddlers) who
             own boats contained therein and who request a key as determined by the Head Coach and
             the Paddling Director.

     4.     The key for the North Bay shall be provided to owners of boats contained therein provided
             that all rental fees have been paid in full.

     5.     Any of the above keys may be provided to other board members or volunteers under
             special circumstances.

     6.     In order to minimize loss of keys, keys will be issued only upon payment of a
             security deposit of $25 and signing of the appropriate form. All keys shall be returned at
             the end of the season and the deposit returned. Loss of keys or failure to return ( unless
             the key is required to be retained for the entire season with good reason) will result in
             forfeiture of the deposit. A new key can only be issued upon repayment of the deposit. In
             the event that several keys must be issued to one person, ie. House and Grounds Director, the $25                     
             deposit shall cover all keys issued.

      7.    All keys issued are for the sole use of the consignee and are not to be loaned to others
             under any circumstances. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in forfeiture
             of the key and return of the deposit.

      8.    Members who wish to use  personal  racing canoes or kayaks (North Bay) in off hours (ie. when
             coaches are not present), may do  so if they have obtained a key. Athletes under the age of  
            13 must be under the supervision of a parent and wear an approved PFD.   
             Whenever boats are taken out of the boathouse during off hours, the boathouse must be
            locked while boats are on the water and again before leaving the club. Club boats (canoe
            and white water kayaks) may not be removed from club property and may be used only on
            Kearney Lake.

      9.   All persons obtaining keys to the boathouse and signing the key loan form shall agree to
             comply to all the above regulations, and in so doing, waive all responsibility for the Club
             for any accident which may occur during the use of the boats. Any Club boats which may
             be damaged during this time shall be repaired by the key holder at their expense.
