Public Fields

[Richard Lindberg]

Perhaps those of you that fly at publicly owned fields (city, county, etc.)
could answer a few questions I have concerning administration, maintenance and
safety at such facilities.

Does the city/county allow anyone to use the facility, regardless of club or
other (e.g., AMA) affiliation?  Who sets the safety rules?  How are they
enforced?

If a club uses that field as their 'home' field, what is the relationship with
the city/county?  Does the club rent or lease the facility?  Typical cost?  As
before, who sets the safety rules, and who enforces?  Does the club restrict
usage, and if so, how?

If a club 'controls' the field, who is responsible for the maintenance?
Insurance?

Can you make a comparison with 'private' clubs and their facilities?

TIA

Richard
