Council tables Tourism Fund application; resident raises trademark concern about Soap Lake word mark
Summary
The council unanimously tabled a Tourism Fund application; public commenter Ruthann Tobiason urged clarity on member selection and noted the Soap Lake word mark "Cure for the Ordinary" is a registered logo that requires permission to use.
The Soap Lake City Council voted to table consideration of a Tourism Fund application. Councilmember Carson moved to table the item and Councilmember Woodhouse seconded; the motion carried unanimously.
During public comment, Ruthann Tobiason asked when Tourism Committee members will be selected and requested a clear application process and prompt response. She also said the city word mark "Cure for the Ordinary" is a registered logo and asked, "who is giving permission?" The council did not resolve the trademark question on the record and opted to defer the funding item.
Council discussion will need to clarify committee appointment timing, application procedures, and legal permissions for use of the city's registered word mark before bringing the Tourism Fund application back to the agenda.
