Yes b/c the Chamber is a private organization and, in any case, a waiver if liability is not legal if the City was negligent. You can't have someone sign a paper saying he is not able to sue you and then be careless and injure someone expecting not to pay the damages. Part of the reason for forcing people to pay when negligent or careless is to make then careful about other people's safety.
