As consideration for the City of Waco allowing me to serve as a Volunteer Intern or a Community Service Worker, I hereby state:
* I am not an employee of the City of Waco and all the activities I perform will be as a Volunteer or Community Service Worker. As I am not an employee, I will perform work as a Volunteer Intern or Community Service Worker without pay and with no expectation of pay or any other benefits from the City.
I know and realize that my activities may involve exposure to certain risks and/or potential exposures. I may also be around or in fact make use of certain equipment. If any activity presents risks that I do not want to take, it is my responsibility to state that concern and make a decision not to engage in the activity. I will inform the Coordinator I am assigned to work with of my concern and decision. I hereby personally accept and assume all risk and responsibility for any harm, injury, or damage that may befall me while I am on City owned property and/or while performing activities as a Community Service Worker or for my Volunteer Internship with the City. I further agree to save and hold harmless the City of Waco from any claim by me, or my family, estate heirs, or assigns, arising out of my presence on City owned property and my performance of any activities associated with my work as a Community Service Worker or my Volunteer Internship with the City.
I agree to RELEASE AND FOREVER DISCHARGE the City of Waco and its elected officers, employees, officials, and agents, from any and all claims, suits, liability, demands or causes of action on account of personal injury, death, or property damage, that may arise from or in connection with my Volunteer Internship or work as a Community Service Worker. In executing this document, I am expressly binding myself, my heirs, executors, administrators, and assigns by the terms of this release for any claim or cause of action of any kind that may arise as result of my Volunteer Internship or work as a Community Service Worker, whether caused by a negligent, grossly negligent, or reckless act of the City of Waco or its employees, elected officers, officials, or agents, or caused by the use of any tangible personal property or equipment.
I know that COVID-19 is a very contagious disease, and by working as a Volunteer Intern or Community Service Worker I may come into contact with individuals who are infected with this disease. I hereby accept and personally assume all risks for any illness or injury caused by possible exposure to COVID-19. I agree to follow all guidance, orders, or policies of the City and my assigned Coordinator, as well as any guidance from the CDC, the State of Texas, or other applicable government or agency. I understand that this guidance may include but is not limited to wearing face coverings over the nose and mouth, maintaining physical/social distancing, washing hands frequently, using hand sanitizer, etc.
