Staff Comments Beach Patrol It is imperative that the event (including set-up and breakdown) does not interfere with the normal patrolling of the beach for safety or beach patrons who are there to enjoy a day at the beach and are not a part of the kite event. It’s imperative the event not interfere with the normal patrolling of the beach for safety. The event must set-up at least 30-feet from the easternmost edge of the Boardwalk/concrete pad, as well as the wooden walkways that run perpendicular to the Boardwalk to allow emergency and city vehicles to traverse the beach. The event organizer must also establish east/west lanes so OCBP may move from the back of the beach to the water’s edge. The event organizer must take responsibility to keep these areas open and that their spectators do not set up in these areas. The organizer must assure that the north end of the flying area does not extend to the jetty. If so, there will be no room for OCBP to get around the jetty without having to drive in the event’s footprint. The event footprint cannot extend further east than the wooden walkways that are perpendicular to the Boardwalk. Lastly, if OCBP clears the beach for lightning, the event must also be cleared until OCBP allows for a safe return to the beach. Risk Management Requires insurance coverage to be provided and a certificate naming TOC as additional insured. Hold harmless agreement has been signed. Public Works Can provide 25 tables and 30 chairs for the event. Shall also move the Beach Boxes to the Sea Wall.
