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. 3(b) mow 7 RN z f x BM �L9 � 5L ��}.CT 1�'�^ � .•,.. } u.! rl a�1 f�'. ItWt YICa f� tiw t ;fir da 5 t sM �.

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. 3(c) Reference A City of Pasco 2005 HOME CHDO Grant Application Summaries 1.

The property is located on Adelia Street and North Saint Charles in east Pasco. Once families purchase the lots the CHDO proceeds will be given back to the six families as a ten year forgivable down payment assistance subsidy. In the self help method, typically 8-10 participating families work together as a group to build their homes. Each family is required to contribute 35 hours per week of quality labor. The families will provide 65% of labor on their homes. No construction skills are required of the families.
