5.32.060 Council approval.
A. “Temporary use permits,” as defined by this subsection, are not subject to the formal lease requirements specified by the terms of WMC 5.32.050 nor are temporary use permits subject to the requirements of council approval as stated in WMC 5.32.090(B), (C) and (D). Similarly, the lease procedures provided for by WMC 5.32.090 and 5.32.110 are not intended to apply to temporary use permits. The mayor is granted the authority to exercise his or her discretion to permit the use of city-owned land and/or improvements thereon for temporary use if the mayor, in his or her discretion, finds the following conditions to have been met:
1. The land and/or improvements are not needed or necessary, during the anticipated term of use, for the normal and ordinary activities of the city;
2. The temporary use is not anticipated to exceed six months;
3. The purpose of the temporary use permit is for an activity or purpose of nonprofit character;
4. The temporary use will be compatible with the conduct of regular and ordinary city business and the use of other city offices and property;
5. The activities contemplated by the temporary use occupant will be nondiscriminatory and based upon principles of equal opportunity;
6. The temporary use occupant will provide general liability insurance and agree to hold the city harmless in the event of claims for injury or damage; and
7. The temporary use occupant shall agree to pay a permit fee, in an amount to be established in the discretion of the mayor, intended to assist the city in the costs related to provision of utilities, maintenance, repairs and management and other such similar costs incurred by the city in maintaining such land and/or improvements thereon.
B. Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, any disposal of city-owned land or an interest in such land shall be approved by council via ordinance. Notice of disposal of an interest in city-owned land shall be given in accordance with WMC 2.08.020(A)(2) before disposal of that land. The planning commission shall review the proposed sale, lease or exchange of city-owned land and provide recommendations to council before council approves such sale, lease or exchange. An ordinance required under this subsection shall identify the land being disposed of, the manner of disposition, and any special terms and conditions thereof.
C. No public auction, deed or contract purporting to dispose of or convey any interest in city land is valid or binding unless the disposal has been approved by the council or as otherwise provided within this title. (Ord. 21-18 § 3, 2021; prior code § 7.16.060)
