A RESOLUTION supporting the Pasco School District 2006 Capital
Bond Proposition.
WHEREAS, the Pasco School District Board of Directors has placed a Capital Bond
Proposition before the voters on February 7, 2006 to fund necessary capital projects, the largest
of which is the construction of a second high school; and
WHEREAS, Pasco High School is one of the most crowded high schools in the entire
State of Washington and its overcrowded condition will continue to worsen, as Pasco High
School is expected to house nearly 4,000 students by 2010; and
WHEREAS, the quality of education experienced by Pasco students is influenced
negatively by the over-crowded conditions of the high school; and
WHEREAS, the recent growth of the community has increased the property tax base
sufficiently to support a bond issue to construct a second high school and provide for other
capital projects needed throughout the District; and
WHEREAS, the most recent calculation of the District's assessed value by the County
Assessor reveals that the total cost of the Capital Bond Proposition will be approximately 50
cents per thousand of assessed value, reflecting an annual cost of only about $50 for a $100,000
home, or about$4 per month; and
WHEREAS, the delivery of quality educational services is an important element of any
community's quality of life, as it helps define the desirability of the community for resident
purposes; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1: The Pasco City Council finds that the Capital Bond Proposition by the Pasco
School Board warrants the support of the Pasco City Council.
Section 2: The Pasco City Council hereby endorses and urges Pasco voters to vote in
favor of the District's Capital Bond Proposition on February 7, 2006.
Passed by the City Council of the City of Pasco this 17th day of January 2006.
