Dear Occupy Portland,

As a courtesy to Occupy Portland, we wanted to contact you as the busy summer season

approaches Director Park.

Director Park is a heavily used site in the summer months and we want to give you notice

that effective June 15 2012, Occupy Portland will no longer be allowed to hold the General

Assembly meetings or other Occupy Portland related events in Director Park without a

permit.

Since late November 2011, Occupy Portland has held a variety of unpermitted meetings and

events in Director Park. During that time, Director Park has fielded several complaints

regarding the unpermitted use of the park while other groups are required to obtain permits

for similar park use. Standard permit requirements are triggered depending on use of

amplification, setting up of various structures (including tables, tents and the like), and

attendance numbers.

To obtain a permit, please contact Alicia Hammock, the Arts & Cultural Coordinator for

Director Park at 503.823.8087 or by email at DirectorPark@PortlandOregon.gov. Regular

rental rates and regulations will apply. To assist you with the permit process, we have

attached the Rental & Event Use Manual and the Director Park Rental Application.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you,

Art Hendricks
