II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
10/10: Discussion
10/17: MOTION: I move to authorize staff to proceed with the relocation of the
cemetery house and the disposal of the same as surplus property.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Expense of$51,000 anticipated
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Council has recently authorized the construction of a new Facilities Division
maintenance shop and cemetery sales office. Upon the completion of the sales
office, the existing office, a three bedroom house of approximately 1,300 square
feet, will no longer be needed. While the home is not well suited as a sales
facility, it is in reasonably good shape for a dwelling.
B) The City has title to two vacant residential lots on north Beech Avenue, a short
distance from the cemetery. All of the other lots in the immediate vicinity of the
lots are developed with single family dwellings. Staff proposes that one lot be
developed to place the cemetery house thereupon. One lot is currently 63' in
width while the other is 88 . Staff proposes that it would be preferable to adjust
the boundary to make both properties approximately 75' in width before moving
the Cemetery house.
C) The estimated cost to adjust the lot boundary, to prepare the lot with foundation
and utilities and to move the house from the cemetery is $51,000. Local realtors
have estimated the house/lot sale price at price sufficient to recover this expense
plus generate some additional income. Considering that the City will also avoid
the cost of demolition of the structure and develop an otherwise vacant property
into a taxable residential parcel, it appears that moving the home and disposal of
the property is prudent. Since the lots are property of the general fund and the
structure is accounted for in the cemetery fund, any net proceeds can be pro-rata
assigned to the respective funds.
D) Staff requests that the Council authorize it to proceed as outlined.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL:
10110105: DISCUSSION
10/17/05: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No.
awarding 2005 HOME CHDO funds of$101,907 to La Clinica.
III. FISCAL IMPACT
$101,907 in Federal HOME CHDO funds.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF
A. In 2004, Pasco entered into an agreement with Kennewick& Richland for the
purpose of continuing participation in a Consortium originally formed in 1996
under the HOME Investments Partnership (HOME) Program. This
consortium allows the City to be eligible for federal HOME funds. Under the
HOME program, 15% of funds are earmarked for federally designated
Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDOs). The three cities
rotate the responsibility for distributing these funds. In 2002, Pasco was
responsible for the distribution of CHDO funds. They were awarded to
Habitat for Humanity. In 2005, Pasco is again responsible for distributing
HOME CHDO funds now totaling $101,907.
B. On August 22, 2005, the City received three applications from eligible
organizations requesting CHDO funds.
C. On September 15, 2005, each applicant presented their proposal to the HOME
Consortium. The applications were reviewed by staff representing each of the
Consortium cities.
D. Taking into consideration time frame, staffing, experience, financial
resources, and viability of proposals, the HOME Consortium staff is
recommending that La Clinica be awarded the 2005 CHDO grant. La Clinica
proposes combining the $101,907 with $510,793 of their funds, then acquire
land in East Pasco and construct 6 homes for low income housing. This
project meets the City's housing goals of increasing the supply of affordable
housing and promoting home-ownership.
E. La Clinica's project will develop underutilized vacant land by building 6
homes. Each home's estimated value is $102,117 for a total of taxable value
of$612,702. This development will enhance the tax base for the City.
