RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING POLICY FOR USE OF
PUBLIC PARKING FACILITIES FOR EVENTS
WHEREAS,the City of Stillwater owns and operates a system of municipal parking
facilities (lots, on-street parking spaces and the municipal parking ramp); and
WHEREAS,the City regularly receives requests from event producers and organizers
to reserve municipal parking facilities, or portions of them, for their events; and
WHEREAS,the use of municipal parking facilities for events prevents them from
being used as they were primarily intended.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Stillwater City Council hereby
establishes the policy that:
1. The use of municipal parking facilities for events is discouraged. If an event
organizer wants to use public facilities, the venue should be a municipal park.
2. Only if a park is not available for an event due to flooding, or other unusual
circumstance, would the City Council approve the reservation of a municipal
parking facility for event use.
3. If the City Council finds that there is an unusual circumstance that does not
allow an event to be in a park, then the Council would consider allowing the
reservation of Lots 4, 5, 9, 10 & 11. Lot 2 would also be a possibility, but is a
very high demand lot and should be avoided if at all possible.
4. The fee for reserving a public parking facility will be as established in the
City's Fee Schedule.
Adopted by the Stillwater City Council this 21ST day of April, 2015.
