Centralized Event Management in Tacoma?

The BIA Blog is reporting that a proposal is on the table to form a partnership between Metro Parks and the city to centralize major event management.

Under the proposal related to the committee this morning, the City of Tacoma would create a new Office of Special Events. This department would “develop an efficient, user-friendly event permit system” and provide a centralized operational planning process for new and major special events. Metro Parks believes that this approach would yield a “more effective, strategic approach to festival production in Tacoma” beginning as early as next calendar year.

I want to hear more…

    There’s potentially a go local element to this too…

    No Go. City of Tacoma requires helmets.

    The big floppy hats cover the helmets.

    How about a streetcar like this? Bar-car anyone? People would probably ride that sucker all night!

    Trying to get the same city to work for you, year in and out, and expecting different results is just another form of madness.
