in effect3.26.041 - Superintendent—Other duties—Sand Point.
A. The Superintendent of Parks and Recreation shall have the power to maintain and manage the City's Sand Point properties that are not within the park and recreation system of the City, except to the extent that responsibility for specific functions regarding portions of these properties is allocated exclusively to another department by ordinance. The authority conferred on the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation by this Section 3.26.041 includes contracting with other City departments, adjacent property owners, or occupants of Sand Point to perform property maintenance and management; making rules for the use of the City's Sand Point properties that are not within the City's park and recreation system; and supervising public works construction contracts, service contracts, and permits if the work to be performed pursuant to such contracts or permits shall occur on or require coordination with the City's Sand Point properties that are not within the City's park and recreation system.
B. As to the City's Sand Point properties within the park and recreation system, in addition to the authority conferred upon the Superintendent of Parks and Recreation by Section 3.26.040 and consistent with the Superintendent's Charter-based authority to manage and control the park and recreation system of the City, the Superintendent is authorized to grant revocable licenses or permits for temporary uses or activities at said properties and to negotiate and enter into such concession or other agreements as are consistent with the terms of the conveyance of such properties to the City. The authority in this subsection is limited as follows:
1. The Superintendent shall use the existing standard Parks Department form concession agreements or, with prior consultation with the City Attorney regarding the differences between the standard and any nonstandard form, such nonstandard form concession agreement as the Superintendent may deem appropriate; and
2. The total term of any concession agreement shall not exceed five years in duration; provided, however, that this limitation shall not restrict the authority of the Superintendent to negotiate and to enter into new concession agreements for the same property with the same occupant upon terms and conditions different from any earlier concession agreement pertaining to such property; and
3. The consideration to be paid to the City for the concession agreement shall be in the form of legal tender of the United States of America or services rendered to or for the benefit of the City, or a combination thereof, in such amounts or value as shall be reasonable under the circumstances considering the negotiated terms of the occupancy or use, condition of the premises, and current rental rates for similar property in the vicinity.
