those agencies that provide volunteers and also carry their own
workers' compensation insurance, such as RSVP or AARP;

Atascadero becomes injured while volunteering and is not covered
under any outside agency, then that volunteer will be directed to
complete a City Liability Claim Form.

reasonable claim for normal and customary medical expenses, along
with any incidental costs, associated with a liability claim
filed by a City volunteer injured while volunteering for or on
behalf of the City.
