item F.
Clearchannel representative, Rick Carter; and Michael Campbe�l of Northwes# Marine
Trade Associatior� (NMTA), re�Fewed their successful e�ent last year in conjunction with
the annual Renton Ri�er Days, Approxima#ely ten �endors participated and gave free
boat rides to the public. The understanding was no on�site sales.
Mr. CampbEll explained to be able to make the event happen again this year and
ensure the dealers participation, he as coordinator, must be able to offer them a little
more leeway in sales then they t�ad last year. Last year they gave free boat rides but
since #he vendors pay to participate, Mr. Campbell felt they need�d more incenti�e to
participate.
Cynthia Burns, Chair, remarked she felt we cou�d be setting a precedence and opening
a can of worms. There was also concem about the actual number of boats we couid
handle at our boat launch and imposing a limit on the number of vendors that could
participate. Staff F�ad additional concerns regarding use of `pubfic land far private profit.'
Alternates to completing the ac#ual sale on site were �iscussed, perhaps away from the
park or on the water.
Ron Regis made a motion to allow ��e Boatshow at Coulon Park with the staff
recomm�ndations subject to lega� re�iEw. Addit�onafly staff will also investiga#e the
possibility of sales on site with the City Attomey, and the exten# the d�aters could
market the boats and report back to the Board. Mic�ael O'Donin seconded by motion.
