ORDINANCE NO. 3536
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASCO,
WASHINGTON, ADDING A NEW SECTION TO CHAPTER

Edgar Brown Stadium Field Turf Project:
MOTION: Ms. Francik moved to approve the Field Turf Agreement with
the Pasco School District for installation of field turf at Edgar Brown
Stadium and, further, authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement.
Mr. Strode seconded the motion. Motion carried (No - Larsen).
Mr. Larsen couldn't find this project already in the 2002 budget and felt
the citizens of Pasco should be allowed to vote on it. Mr. Larson also
stated that he felt the two councilmembers who are employed by the
School District should abstain and with his "no" vote the item would fail
due to a lack of a super-majority.
Mr. Crutchfield explained that Mr. Larsen was correct that the project
was not budget, however, nothing prevents the Council, by a majority
vote at a regular meeting, from approving an agreement for a financial
commitment. At the end of each year the Council will conduct a
supplemental budget hearing to amend the budget to identify expenses
that were unanticipated when the budget was originally adopted.
Mayor Garrison pointed out that neither Ms. Crawford nor Ms. Francik
would in anyway benefit from the approval of the agreement and felt it
would be appropriate for them to participate in the vote for this item.

Professional Services:
MOTION: Ms. Francik moved to approve the Professional Services
