consultant to help identify the most appropriate organizational structure that would

facilitate the financing, construction and operation of one or more major regional
facilities such as an aquatic facility. Another consultant function would be to help the
regional group identify what major regional centers the Tri-Cities as a whole might
support. Maybe two or three projects should be identified in a package, if and when it's
