Typically, park reservation applications will be reviewed and approved by City staff. If an activity proposed in an application is anticipated to exceed typical impacts to the park or other park users, it shall be escalated to the City Manager for approval. Within seven days after an application is escalated to the City Manager, the City Manager shall either approve or deny the permit. If denied, the applicant shall be apprised in writing of the reasons for refusing the permit and allow the aggrieved person the right to appeal in writing within 21 days to the City Council, which shall consider the application under the standards set forth in MMC 7.28.260. Based on these standards, the Council will either sustain or overrule the City Manager’s decision within 30 days, which shall be final. (Ord. 169 Exh. A, passed 2-11-2020)
