RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL FOR THE CITY OF
PORT TOWNSEND ENDORSING THE 2004 PORT TOWNSEND FILM
FESTIVAL, AND WAIVING RENTAL FEE FOR USE OF THE
POPE MARINE PARK BUILDING
The City Council of the City of Port Townsend, Washington, does resolve as
follows:
WHEREAS, the Port Townsend Film Festival is moving forward with its fifth
annual celebration of film, which is enjoyed by mostly local residents, (80% of attendees
reside on the Quimper, Kitsap and Olympic Peninsulas); and
WHEREAS, the festival is scheduled in late September at a time when city
residents feel as though they are getting the town back after a summer of tourist
occupation; and
WHEREAS, the festival attracts attendance of filmmakers and sponsors who
interact with the community; and
WHEREAS, although attendance is heavily local, the festival elicits a great deal
of publicity, particularly from Seattle, and adds appreciably to the city's continuing
reputation as an arts colony; and
WHEREAS, the festival is helping to inspire a developing group of local video
filmmakers;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council for the City of
Port Townsend hereby endorses the 2004 Port Townsend Film Festival and waives the
rental fee of the Pope Marine Park building (September 23-26), in exchange for the
substantial public benefit derived by the City of Port Townsend.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Port Townsend at a special
business meeting thereof, held this ninth day of August, 2004.
