(A) The county has procured and will provide any patron desiring to enter the premises of the county Court House with a temporary storage facility located near the eastern entrance to the building wherein the patron may place his or her PED during the period of the patron’s visit to the Court House. Use of such county-owned storage facilities is entirely voluntary. Any patron seeking to enter the Court House with a PED will be denied admission and directed to either return the device to the patron’s vehicle or to place it in one of the county-provided temporary storage facilities.
(B) Any patron using the county-owned temporary storage facilities agrees to the following terms associated with such usage.
(1) A patron’s use of a particular county-owned storage facility may not be exclusive and may be shared with other patrons engaging in similar temporary storage of other PEDs.
(2) Any patron using a county-owned temporary storage facility does so at his or her risk for damage, loss, theft or other injury to the patron’s PED. The patron’s use of the county-owned temporary storage facility shall be deemed to be the creation of a bailment that is exclusively beneficial to the patron. By such usage, the patron is deemed to have fully released and discharged county, it agents, officers (including the security officers posted at the entrance to the county Court House), employees and officials from any claim for loss, damage, theft or destruction (whether in whole or in part) to the patron’s PED.
