§ 25.10.060. Use of municipal land.

A.

The municipality shall use municipal land in any manner not prohibited by law.

B.

Except as otherwise provided by law, and in addition to all other municipal powers, the municipality shall exercise the same control over municipal land and its use as it could if it held the land as a private person.

C.

Revocable licenses and permits for the use of municipal land may be issued by a department or agency which has been delegated management authority under the provisions of section 25.10.050. Permits for the improvement, use, excavation or encroachment of public street, right-of-way and utility easements shall be issued under the authority set forth in title 24.

D.

In addition to the authority otherwise granted by this section, the director of a municipal department or agency responsible for managing municipal land under section 25.10.050 may promulgate regulations pursuant to chapter 3.40 governing the use of that land by others.

E.

Regulations promulgated by the director of parks and recreation charging use permit fees for parks or facilities managed by the department shall not require payment of fees based in whole or in part on a percentage of revenues received through concessions operated on the property. Instead, regulations setting fees required in connection with use permits issued by the department shall state a specific sum to be paid for activities identified in use permits issued by the department. The fee structure may also provide for an optional amount of fee reduction, refund, or future credit available to the user in consideration for maintenance responsibilities satisfactorily rendered by the user.
