Further I agree to release the City from any and all claims to compensation, reimbursement, or remuneration related to my volunteer service. I also understand and agree that at no time will I be considered or deemed to be an employee of the City, nor am I an agent for anything other than my assigned volunteer duty.
3. Services Refused. I understand and agree that the City may refuse to accept my volunteer service at any time, whether with justification or not, and at that point I must stop providing those services and stop holding myself out as a volunteer.
4. Professional Conduct and Assigned Duties. I agree to act appropriately and in a professional, courteous manner during my volunteer service. I will not misuse City funds, property or materials. I will not leave my volunteer position until a replacement volunteer arrives. I will not switch assignments with another volunteer unless directed to do so by the Volunteer Coordinator.

If I am less than twenty-one (21), I will inform any person who asks me to sell or serve beer or wine that I am disqualified from doing so because of my age.

If I believe I need, or my child needs, such insurance, then I am solely responsible for maintaining such insurance on my own.
11. Acknowledgement and Assumption of Risk. I understand that volunteer service by nature is not without risk.
