Council approves Old Cannery sponsorship for Colburn Park splash pad
Summary
The council approved a five-year interior park-naming sponsorship with Old Cannery for the Colburn Park splash pad, generating $30,000 annually to support park projects.
The Fife City Council unanimously approved a five-year sponsorship agreement that grants the Old Cannery naming rights for the new Colburn Park splash pad and provides the city with annual funding for park projects.
The resolution (No. 22203) authorizes an interior park naming-rights agreement; the agreement calls for an annual sponsorship payment of $30,000 for five years. City staff estimated the partnership will yield roughly $160,000 over the contract term, assuming a 3 percent annual inflation escalation built into the estimate.
Why it matters: the sponsorship channels private support into public amenities and implements a policy the council adopted previously (Ordinance 2138) that allows interior naming-rights agreements for city facilities.
Council action: Councilmember Fagundes moved approval; Councilmember Gathers seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
What council said: Councilmembers noted the sponsorship as an example of private investment in local amenities. City staff said the agreement follows the labeling and interior naming policy the council adopted in April and that proceeds will be used for future park projects.
Ending: The resolution passed unanimously and city staff will complete the formal agreement and proceed with implementation of the splash pad sponsor program.
