No fee, deposit, or liability insurance is required to the extent that the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or Article I of the Washington Constitution directs gratuitous use of parks, park drives or boulevards as public fora, e.g., for making sermons or political speeches, distributing literature, or soliciting signatures for petitions. Vending by a non-profit, tax-exempt organization, of merchandise in which a political, religious, philosophical or ideological message is inextricably intertwined (First Amendment Vending) is governed by regulations for First Amendment Vending of Merchandise adopted by the Department of Parks and Recreation. When conducted on a park drive or boulevard, First Amendment Vending is subject to a base permit fee of Seventy Dollars ($70.00) for a monthly site permit. When conducted within a park, First Amendment Vending is subject to a base permit fee of seventy Dollars ($70.00) plus a fee of ten percent (10%) of gross receipts, but may exclude from its gross receipts used in calculating the amount of the fee (1) all bona fide donations for which the donor receives no or nominal consideration and (2) payments for items that communicate a political or religious message and have no commercial value apart from the message (e.g., literature, messagebearing buttons and bumper stickers and posters). Use permits issued for First Amendment Vending on department boulevards and park drives shall conform with the zoning and regular usage patterns of the immediately adjacent and surrounding areas. USE OF PARK FACILITIES FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES Minimum fees range from $10.00 to $50.00 per hour based upon the type of use and medium.

Permits are revocable upon thirty (30) days notice or immediately upon failure of the Permittee to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. Unauthorized use of park property, including failure to apply for and obtain a Revocable Use Permit, is unlawful and subject to enforcement actions or other remedies as specified in SMC 18.30. In accordance with the Policy on Non-Park Uses of Park Lands, as endorsed by City Council Resolution 29475, it is the policy of the Department of Parks and Recreation to limit authorized non-park uses of park land to the fullest extent practicable. Fees and conditions set for Revocable Use Permits are intended to discourage private, non-park uses of park lands; encourage the elimination of encroachments; and promote private and public cooperation in maintenance of park lands in a manner consistent with a public park-like character. Consideration of any permit application requires payment of an Application Fee, unless City action to a public right-of-way resulted in inaccessibility from other than park property. The Application Fee is non-refundable. Issuance of a permit requires payment of a Permit Fee which is: a) a fixed daily fee (i.e., Limited Term permit fee); and/or b) calculated in accordance with a formula (Continuing Use permit fee); or c) a minimum Permit Fee. Both Application Fee and Permit Fee are set periodically by Ordinance adopting a Schedule of Fees and Charges, as authorized by SMC 18.28.010. Under exceptional circumstances, the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation may waive or reduce the Revocable Use Permit Fee, in accordance with criteria established by SMC 18.28.030, including instances when: a) another City department requests use of the facility for a public purpose; b) or use is granted under a reciprocal use of facilities agreement with c) another government agency; or b) in the opinion of the Superintendent, the waiver or reduction is in the overall public interest due to extraordinary facts or circumstances. Creek restoration projects proposed by other City departments are specifically exempted from permit fees of any kind as the City recognizes these projects as valuable enhancements to its parks and recreation assets. In determining whether the Permit Fee should be waived or reduced, the Superintendent shall be guided by: a) the benefit to the public and the direct benefit to the park system; b) the frequency and/or amount of usage requested; c) the effect on and fairness to other park users; d) consistency with policies underlying the fee schedule and SMC Chapter 18; and e) the consequences of denying the request. The Superintendent may, at his or her discretion, authorize the acceptance of permanent, physical improvements, such as constructed improvements or landscaping, as compensation in lieu of the Permit Fee in those circumstances where the proposed in lieu compensation can be shown to be equal to or greater in value than the calculated or set amount of the Permit Fee. Waiver or reduction of the Permit Fee does not necessarily waive or reduce other fees, charges, requirements, or obligations in connection with issuance of a Revocable Use Permit including Application Fee, Inspection Fee, processing charges, insurance or indemnity requirements, or restoration requirements. Limited Term Permit Fee Limited Term permits may be issued for necessary uses of park property for brief periods of time, generally expected to be limited to ninety (90) days or less; however, Limited Term permits may be issued for uses expected to continue beyond ninety (90) days, at the discretion of the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation. Examples of activities for which Limited Term permits may be issued include but are not limited to construction staging, temporary access, utility installation. The Limited Term permit fee will be charged at a daily rate from the date the permit is issued or the date the use or occupancy of park property began, whichever is earlier, until the activity is completed and all conditions of the permit, including restoration of any damage to park land, have been satisfied. If seasonal factors, such as planting conditions or construction prohibitions, warrant a delay between the time the use or occupancy of park property is completed and the time the restoration is completed, no Permit Fee shall be charged for the interim period, unless the park land is unavailable for the use or enjoyment of the public. If a Revocable Use Permit is issued for a use of park land expected to continue for a limited period of time, such as a Limited Term permit, but for a period exceeding ninety (90) days, the fee shall be the daily rate set for Limited Term permits for the first ninety (90) days; the fee for the period exceeding ninety (90) days shall be calculated in accordance with the Continuing Use permit fee. Under no circumstances shall a Limited Term permit fee be converted to a lesser fee due to extension of the anticipated completion date of the permitted activity. If upon inspection it is determined that the permit conditions have not been satisfied, charges for additional daily fees at the same rate shall accrue until conditions have been satisfied. Continuing Use Permit Fee Continuing Use permit fees shall be charged for uses expected to continue for an extended period of time, generally beyond ninety (90) days (e.g., encroachments or other non-park uses that will not be corrected or eliminated within a ninety (90) day period). Continuing Use permit fees shall be calculated using a formula based on land Value, Area of use, a Barrier factor, and a Rate of return (V x A x B x R). The Value of the park land used shall be determined by calculating the average of the assessed value per square foot of the benefited property and the assessed values per square foot of comparable (i.e., similarly zoned, having similar amenities such as waterfront or view), nearby (within a distance not to exceed 1000 feet) non-park properties. The Area shall be the total of the square footage of park land actually used or occupied for non-park purposes and/or the square footage of park land that is subject to a barrier to public use or enjoyment. The Barrier Factor is a multiplier of 1 or less than 1, representing the extent of barrier to public use and enjoyment, as set by the following scale. If two or more Barrier Factors may apply, the greater factor shall apply. Factor: 1 Full use and/or occupancy of area, preventing public use or occupancy of the area (e.g., a private structure); or Creation of a physical barrier denying public use or access to the area (e.g., a fence or hedge); 7 Creation of a perceptual barrier by improvements or actions that capture the public space for private use (e.g., paving, shrubbery, other plantings) 35 Private landscaping or other improvements on park land that violate, exceed, or are inconsistent with established design guidelines or reasonable standards intended to preserve the public park-like character of park lands (e.g., private access drive or walkway in excess of standard; private lighting or safety railings that exceed a security function). The Rate of return (i.e., land capitalization rate) is set at 10%. Continuing Use permit fees will be prorated, as necessary, and annualized October 1 to September 30, billed and payable not later than September 30 of each calendar year for the twelve (12) month period to follow. If the permit period is shorter than anticipated, the permit fees paid in advance shall be prorated for the time used and over-payment shall be refunded, except in the case of revocation due to Permittee's failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the permit, in which case no refund shall be given. Permits for utility installations, such as electrical, natural gas, or telephone service, shall be charged as Limited Term permits, based on the permit period necessary for installation. There is no Permit Fee charged for Limited Term permits of 90 days or less issued expressly to allow the removal or elimination of an encroachment onto park land. There is no Permit Fee charged for certain non-park uses of park land which may be allowable by property right, such as driveway access from the roadway portion of a park boulevard if access is not available from any other rightof-way, or pedestrian walkway access from a public sidewalk to the abutting private property, if such uses comply with established design guidelines or reasonable standards intended to preserve the public park-like character of park lands. Application Fee ............ ...........$100 Inspection Fee...........................$50 / inspection (Application fee includes one on-site inspection. Additional on-site inspection charges at $50 per inspection may be assessed, if necessary in the Department's judgment, due to Applicant's or Permittee's action(s) or failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the permit.) Limited Term Permit . ... ...............$50 /day or $100 minimum, whichever is greater Continuing Use Permit ..................determined by formula (V x A x B x R) or $200 minimum, whichever is greater Processing Charges ......................In the case a Permit Fee is waived or reduced, costs of staff time to review and process permit applications may be recovered on an hourly basis at $50 / hour for time in excess of eight (8) hours. VIEW TREE PRUNING PERMIT Private citizens may apply for a permit if they wish to hire a qualified, bonded tree service firm to perform view tree pruning which is not normally done as part of the Department tree maintenance program along its designated viewpoints and scenic drives. The request for this permit must be submitted in writing to the Manager of our City Wide Horticulture Unit. Three site inspections by a Department Landscape Supervisor will be performed. The first inspection to review the request and make a determination of allowed pruning, the second (if the request is approved) during the proposed work to ensure compliance with the permit, and a final inspection for satisfaction of all permit specifications. A non-refundable application fee of $30.00 must be submitted with the written request for a View Pruning Permit. A $100.00 permit fee is due upon issuance of the View Pruning Permit. The tree service firm must submit a $100.00 bond and proof of insurance in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 bodily injury liability and $5,000 property damage.

Authorized activities include, but are not limited to, the following arrangements: (1) Sponsored days: A sponsored day or activity under which a sponsor pays the department a fixed fee, a matching amount, or supplies advertising, service or other benefit and the department provides free public entry use of the facility or the department provides free or reduced entry for a segment of the public (e.g. children under 12, senior citizens, anyone donating clothing or a can of food for a drive for those in need) or for a special group of the public (e.g., participants in a community parade) or to the first entrants up to a specified number. (2) Bonus and prizes: The department may distribute to users or entrants an item supplied by the sponsor, e.g., a button, a balloon, literature, or an item of apparel, or a donated prize for an achievement. (3) Combination Tickets: A combination ticket for use of the City's facility or participation in a City event in conjunction with entry to another facility or event in which the combined prices are less than the amount that would be paid for each entry or event singly; the combined ticket shall expire within a proximate time after its sale or first usage; and the City and the other participant shall apportion the revenue from the combined sale by a ratio or formula. A combination may also take the form of a reciprocal discount or credit. For example, presentation of ticket stub or coupon from a Zoo in another City may entitle the holder to a credit on admission to the Woodland Park Zoo or the Seattle Aquarium when a receipt for paid entry to Seattle's Zoo or Aquarium entitles the holder to like privileges in the facility of the other City. (4) Discount Coupons: A coupon allowing two people to enter for the price one person, or the coupon holder to enter at a reduced rate. Coupons may be offered through a sponsor who makes a payment to the City or who provides special advertising in return. For example, the coupon may accompany an advertisement in a widely distributed publication for tourists, which contains similar coupons for other attractions. The department may also use coupons as a way of reaching out to a group or segment of the citizenry who would not attend or use the facility at the established fee. (5) Prepaid Passes: During special hours or otherwise, admission may be sold to a tour company, the organizer of a convention, or an association at an aggregate fee for all members and the participants may be granted entry, either as a group or individually, at the hours or on the days authorized by presenting a ticket or other indication of pre-payment. (6) Departmental Free or Half-Price Days: "Senior citizen's days" may be offered during which people over a minimum age are admitted free; a free day may be provided for the public to see and enjoy an exhibit financed through a bond issue or by a public fund-raising drive; or, on a "Kid's Day"/ Neighborhood Day," admission may be free for children and low income adults; a free golf lesson day for kids; or free swimming day at our pools. (7) Promotional Purposes: The Department may offer extended evening hours or special discounts during specific periods in the year to encourage high attendance to our park facilities. Some examples include but are not limited to, the following: a) Extended Aquarium hours and special discounts during the summer. b) Extended special discount for swimming fees during the summer. |
