Home / April 12 community meeting notes / Follow up letter to special event producers / About the Special Events Task Force / Background on the original proposal
Several community members and special event coordinators expressed concerns about a proposal to transfer the City of Tacoma’s event permitting processes to Metro Parks Tacoma.
As a result, the Community and Econmic Development Department created a Special Events Task Force to gather a much better community perspective on how special events services should be shaped in Tacoma.
The Community and Economic Development Department presented the Special Events Task Force's Final Report to the City of Tacoma's Government Performance and Finance Committee on Aug. 7.
On Dec. 18, the Tacoma City Council approved the 2007-2008 mid-biennial adjustment, which included the creation of a special events coordinator position within the City of Tacoma.
Once established, the person in this new position will work to implement the final recommendations of the Special Events Task Force.
This Web site describes the work of the Special Events Task Force and also offers background information on the original proposal from the City of Tacoma.
Remember! You can always provide feedback on event permitting to Roxanne Murphy, community relations specialst, at roxanne.murphy@cityoftacoma.org or (253) 591-2054.
