Title
ORDINANCE NO. 3348 - ACCEPTING A GIFT OF FIVE SQUIRREL BRIDGES FROM THE LONGVIEW SANDBAGGERS
COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED:
Address quality of place issues
CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: Required
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The Longview Sandbaggers host the annual Squirrelfest event in Longview, and have periodically unveiled five new squirrel bridges to be installed over the public right-of-way. The Sandbaggers then coordinate with city staff to install the bridge. The Sandbaggers retain ownership of each bridge for one year after installation before presenting a title of ownership to the City. The Sandbaggers have presented titles in previous years, but ownership of the bridges was not officially accepted by ordinance as required by the Longview Municipal Code. Ordinance No. 3348 will accept the gift of five squirrel bridges.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
Each bridge will require periodic maintenance, the cost of which is anticipated to be minimal.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt Ordinance No. 3348.
