Police Chief Bryan Denton presented the McMinnville Board of Mayor and Aldermen with a list of fun run guidelines at the board’s recent Safety Committee meeting. Denton has been concerned with the safety of participants at these events and has been working to come up with safe routes through the downtown area which would require the minimum amount of police supervision. Denton noted this could save money for both the city and run organizers.Denton said he talked with Tennessee Municipal League Risk Management representatives and several other municipalities across the state, Cookeville in particular, about how they handled these kinds of events.“With what I took from them, and some Internet research, I put together what I think is something that will work,” Denton said, noting that according to TML the race organizers would be responsible for their own insurance.“TML can cover our interests but they can’t cover the interests of others,” Denton said, noting he addressed that in the guidelines.
