11.04.010 Pope Marine and Cotton Building general use regulations.
It is the intention of this chapter to maximize the use of the Pope Marine Building and the Cotton Building on a “first-come, first-served” basis, with priority being given to official city government uses. This chapter is also intended to encourage use of the facility by the visual and performing arts, nonprofit organizations, health, wellness, parks programs and individuals and to allow for certain recurring uses of the facility by local organizations.
To ensure that the Pope Marine Building and the Cotton Building are used in a manner consistent with these intentions, the following general use regulations shall be applicable to users of the buildings:
A. City government, organizations and individuals may reserve the facility up to one year in advance of the proposed date of use. This category includes official government uses and government-sponsored special public events, which in the event of a scheduling conflict shall take priority.
B. Use of the facility for the visual and performing arts is encouraged.
C. The facility may be reserved for no more than three consecutive days and for no more than six days per reservation; provided, however, that upon approval by the city manager or by the council as a whole, reservations beyond three consecutive days or for more than six days per reservation may be allowed under such terms and conditions as approved by the city manager or city council.
D. The facility is hereby reserved for the use of broad based community events, i.e., the Northwest Maritime Center during the Wooden Boat Festival each September; the Race to Alaska Ruckus each June; and the Rhody Cake Picnic in May each year; provided, however, that this right must be exercised no less than 90 days in advance of each such annual use; and provided further, that the limitations on length of use imposed in subsection C of this section do not apply to such events that impact broad based community involvement. These events will still be subject to applying for a special event permit.
E. The Pope Marine Building may be occupied by no more than 70 people. The Cotton Building may be occupied by no more than 99 people. The party reserving the facility shall be financially liable for any and all damages to the facility, any fines imposed for excess occupancy of the facility, and for any cleaning or other charge which may be levied for failure to leave the facility as clean or cleaner than when the use pursuant to the reservation commenced.
F. The city manager, in consultation with the parks, recreation, trees and trails advisory board, and per PTMC 11.01.040, is hereby authorized to develop additional rules and regulations regarding the facility. (Ord. 3308 § 1 (Exh. B), 2023; Ord. 2965 § 1, 2008; Ord. 2872 § 1, 2004; Ord. 2811 § 1, 2002; Ord. 2636 § 1, 1998; Ord. 2470 § 1, 1995; Ord. 2403 § 1, 1994. Formerly 3.37.010).
