Movies in the park?
By Sue Stafford
Correspondent
The City of Sisters would
like to know what the public
thinks about a proposal from
Mayor Chris Frye to show
movies in a City park during
the summer.
Potential locations for the
movies would be in Clemens
and Village Green parks. The
proposal may be sponsored
by Sisters Park & Recreation
District (SPRD) with support
from City public works staff.
The City Parks Advisory
Board (CPAB), in its June
10 meeting, determined that
before any recommenda-
tions can be made to the City
Council regarding showing
movies in the parks, there
needs to be more investigation
on the matter, including facts
and figures to see if it will
pencil out financially.
One specific question
involved how the costs of the
program would be offset and
who would bear the respon-
sibility for those costs. There
must also be consideration
given to the noise, parking
and lights from the movies
and their impact on neighbor-
hoods surrounding the parks.
In a letter to SPRD, City
Council, and City staff,
Sisters Movie House owner
Lisa Clausen pointed out sev-
eral considerations regarding
showing films in public.
“My assumption is that by
undertaking this endeavor that
there has been the necessary
research and due diligence
done around copyrighted
law and intellectual property
rights that protect the public
display of film without the
proper financial and writ-
ten consideration from the
owner of the property and
understanding the legal rami-
fications by using the property
without permission and finan-
cial consideration to the own-
ers of the property,” the letter
said.
Clausen went on to ques-
tion the advisability of the
City and SPRD taking on such
an endeavor given the myriad
of other more important proj-
ects that lie within the duties
of both entities.
To offer opinions regarding
movies in the parks known to
the City, emails may be sent to
pdavenport@ci.sisters.or.us or
any of the City Council mem-
bers whose emails are avail-
able on the City website.
Another program pro-
posed by Mayor Frye is the
Adopt-a-Park Program in
which local groups, individu-
als, and organizations can get
involved in helping keep the
City’s parks safe and clean.
This can be done through
individual park patrols, work
parties, or large community
events. Upon review of the
proposal, the CPAB agreed
the program would be a good
way to get the public engaged
in the city’s public spaces and
take some pride of ownership
of those spaces. The proposal
and CPAB recommenda-
tions will be forwarded to the
Council for their review.
What a find!
