provide for the public health, safety, and general welfare of its
citizens; and
WHEREAS, the Council also recognizes the unique
circumstance of Winslow as a major ferry terminus; and
WHEREAS, the City's adopted Strategic Plan contains a
"Vision for the Future" that includes:

unobtrusive parking near the ferry terminal;

WASHINGTON, HEREBY RESOLVES THAT IT IS THE POLICY OF THE COUNCIL

commuter parking lot adjacent to the Winslow Ferry Terminal.
Operation by the City will enable the City to effectively
influence parking rates and other parking measures that encourage
carpooling and the use of public transportation systems and
transportation benefits serving the Ferry Terminal, and will serve
to mitigate the potential public health, safety and welfare harm
associated with increased traffic and parking congestion around
the Terminal; and

carpools, park-and-ride lots, and other public transportation
systems and benefits serving the Ferry System commuters; and

transportation systems to be beneficial to the City of Winslow and
in keeping with the City Strategic Plan.
