ASSOCIATION AND AUTHORIZING A ONE YEAR LICENSE AGREEMENT
FOR USE OF THE POPE MARINE PARK AS THE SITE OF THE
"CAROUSEL OF THE OLYMPIC SEA" ON A TRIAL BASIS
WHEREAS, the City Council adopted by Ordinance 2216 the Urban Waterfront Plan to
allow for planning for future development of the port Townsend Waterfront; and
WHEREAS, the Urban Waterfront Plan encouraged the development of public
cultural/educational facilities in the Civic district; and
WHEREAS, Pope Marine Park is located in the Civic District, and is a potential
permanent location for the Carousel, which would provide a cultural and recreational amenity
to the residents of Port Townsend, and
WHEREAS, the siting, maintenance and operation of the Carousel would not incur
expense to the City of Port Townsend, and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the Carousel, without a permanent pavilion,
will not likely have an adverse impact upon Pope Park; and
WHEREAS, the City feels that a trial period of operation will allow the City to
determine the suitability of the site for continued use of this recreational purpose; and
WHEREAS, the establishment of the Carousel at the Pope Marine Park site for a one
year trial period would provide an opportunity to evaluate the compatibility with the
Comprehensive Park Plan; NOW, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Port Townsend, that the Mayor
is hereby authorized to negotiate and execute a License Agreement with the Port Townsend
Carousel Association to use a designated portion of the Pope Marine Park as the Carousel site
for a one year period at no cost to the City.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that any actions taken pursuant to the authorization of
this Resolution, but prior to its adoption, are hereby ratified and confirmed.
