§ 4894. Tatachog Beach Park Pavilion Cultural/Arts Center. (a) Designation of Beach Park Pavillion. The Tatachog Beach Park pavilion is hereby designated as a cultural/arts center under the management of the Rota Mayor's Office. (b) Authorization. The Mayor of Rota is authorized to establish and initiate the development of Tatachog Beach Park Pavilion into a cultural/arts center. The Mayor of Rota is further authorized to promulgate rules and regulations consistent with the intent of this section. Source: PL 17-17 §§ 2 and 3 (September 30, 2010), modified. Commission Comment: The Commission changed “this Act” to “this section” pursuant to 1 CMC § 3806(d). Public Law 17-17 (effective September 30, 2010) included severability and savings provisions and the following: Section 1. Findings and Purpose. The Commonwealth Legislature finds that with the continued decline in the Commonwealth's economy, there is a perceived need to develop additional tourist attractions such as family-style entertainment that showcase our unique arts and culture. The development of a cultural/arts center that provides our island visitors the opportunity to view and experience the creation of art as well as purchase art products is one way of attracting additional interests. The development of a cultural/arts center should also include the installation of art crafting equipment for local artists' usage to assist the production of arts and crafts and to promote the arts on Rota. The Commonwealth Legislature further finds that within the Tatachog Park on Rota is a pavilion that is not frequently used and may be developed into a cultural/arts center. Its location within a historic site and adjacent to the main highway, makes it suitable and easily accessible to tourists and residents for their entertainment and possible purchase of art products. It is therefore the purpose of this Act to establish the Tatachog Beach Park pavilion as a cultural/arts center under the management of the Rota Mayor's Office for the benefit of tourists and residents alike.
