RECITALS:
A. The City has received charitable contributions exceeding one
million dollars from many sources and citizens for the purchase
and operation of the Mt. Ashland ski area, and
B. The City, by adopting this resolution, makes the following
findings:
1. The acquisition of the ski area assets and Forest
Service Use Permit serve a public purpose by providing a park for
the citizens of Ashland.
2. The operation of the area by Mt Ashland Association will
provide educational and recreational opportunities for the
citizens of Ashland and the community.
3. The City has an important and continuing role in the
economic development and diversification of industry and commerce
in the community. There is a need to increase long-run
employment opportunities and economic stability through such
diversification by providing the physical facilities necessary to
develop responsible and compatible commercial enterprises which
will benefit the citizens of Ashland and the community.
Continued development of commercial facilities are necessary to
insure the growth and prosperity of the City. It is in the
public interest to develop seasonal employment by encouraging the
orderly growth and promotion of non-polluting, labor-intensive
businesses which are compatible with other public entities and
governmental units in respect to energy development and
conservation, environmental protection, transportation, and the
judicious use of natural resources.
4. It is further declared that the acquisition of title or
interest to the ski area facilities and the lease of such
facilities as provided by the documents approved in the following
resolution is a public purpose and shall be regarded as
performing an essential governmental function of the City.
Furthermore, the acquisition of the facilities, the lease of
those facilities to Mt. Ashland Association and the disbursal of
funds to Mt Ashland Association for the operation of those
facilities are sufficiently beneficial to the community as a
whole to justify government involvement and is of a general
benefit to the economy of the City and the community.
