Parks and Recreation

1. Chelan PUD parks and recreation facilities are owned, operated and maintained by Chelan PUD for public use. Chelan PUD parks and recreation facilities are available to individual persons or groups for nonprofit events and activities consistent with Chelan PUD park rules and regulations.

Reservations or scheduling for use of facilities are required for any community special or private event, or athletic or sporting type activity involving more than routine use of a Chelan PUD park.

All reserved group day-use activities shall occur only at those parks having identified group day-use areas. A group is defined as 20 or more people engaged together in outdoor recreation at one park location.

2.  The Application for Use of Parks for a Special Recreation Event must be completed and returned to the Chelan PUD Parks Department 30 days prior to the date of the event(s), to allow, where applicable, for necessary internal review and analysis, consultation with local governments, public notice, establishment of permit conditions, and required Chelan PUD preparations and coordination. The Director shall approve or disapprove a permit application and establish the conditions for an approved application. The Director shall determine the need for any reimbursement or payment necessary to cover costs incurred by Chelan PUD for additional staffing, equipment, facilities, or special services not normally provided by Chelan PUD, as well as the need for any bond, damage deposit, or liability insurance arising from any potential hazards associated with the conduct of the event. Any such fees, bond, damage deposit, or liability insurance shall be provided by the applicant prior to the issuance of the permit.

If additional unanticipated costs are incurred by Chelan PUD resulting from the event, the applicant shall reimburse Chelan PUD for such costs in a timely manner.
