Paintball
Update – CM reviewed the email from Tony Dental, PGE, supporting the use of
the park for paintball. A park permit
will be required for the paintball use but PGE is asking for $2,000,000 of
insurance and the lease agreement only asks for $1,000,000 of insurance
coverage. Staff will continue with the
arrangements for the paintball field.
Mr. Schlieff needs to come in and take out a permit for review by the
city and PGE.
Timber Park
Permit Process Discussion – Mayor Austin stated that the city really needs
to take a look at the lease agreement and make any changes needed to make the
permitting process smoother. Cr.
Atkinson wants to aggressively use the park to generate income to maintain the
park. Cr. Butcher wants to know who has
control of the park. She feels if we
are leasing it she does not know how PGE can deny an event. She does feel they should be able to review
the permit and make recommendations but not to deny events.
CM Ealy stated
that PGE would hope that the city refuses some of these events so they don’t
have to. The city needs to find out
from PGE what they want us to do to preserve their park and still permit uses
in the park that will generate money to maintain the park. Staff will continue working with PGE to
clear up everyone’s roles and responsibilities when renting out the park.
