Dear Occupy Portland,

June 15, 2012
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
