PASCO, WASHINGTON
REGULAR MEETING COUNCIL CHAMBERS AUGUST 18, 1964
AGREEMENT: BETWEEN CITY OF PASCO AND PORT OF PASCO:
Mr. Fisher reports that this is actually a renewal of a previous agreement pertaining to the removal
of gravel etc. There are two changes: The removal of gravel/dirt and placement in low-lying corners
bringing it up to grade and the City requires the P.P. & L. to replace and lower existing poles from
which there are lines crossing the area. The city in requiring this change holds the Port District
harmless from any claim arrising out of this relocation, and.lowering of poles.
Motion made by Bailey, seconded by Griggs, that the City Mai}Agerrbe autholized to exercise this
agreement, as soon as details are worked out with the Pacific Power and Light Company. Motion
carried.
I.A.C.P. STUDY: (see page 3389)
Motion made by Griggs, that a poll be taken at this time in order to show in the record how the
council voted on the continuing of the I.A.C.P. study. (This was left in abeyance at a previous
meeting)
Campbell stated that every councilman should have the right to have the records.:state:that he is
in favor of or against the survey if be so desires. Griggs: I move this be done:.
Carter: let it show that Mr. Griggs/A8t in favor of the survey being conducted. Any other council=
man who wishes to have his desires known so that it may be dnteredd in the records may do so at this
time.
Carter: I will start off by saying that I voted "yes".to continue the study because it's a.contract
signed by Mrs. Perry, by the Chief of Police of the City of Pasco and.by the then acting
mayor VanHoy. So I said it's just a matter of finding a date which was acceptable to
every body concerned. I voted "yes, bring him in".
Wiseman: I'll keep it going then, as far as I'm concerned, I delayed.it because I was unaware as to
what was involved. I wanted to read the agreement, I wanted to find the content of this
agreement, I wanted to do a little inquiring on this to clarify myself on the position
and I find myself unanimously now in favor of the survey.
Stork: I -0oted the same as Russ, and I feel the same way.
Bailey: I voted for it because it was a valid contract, it was arrived at after due consideration
by the previous council, signed and attested to by the Mayor and the Chief of Police,
I see no reason why it shouldn't be.
Robinson: Fine, I did the same thing, the City Attorney informed us that it was a valid contract,
consequently prepared by the previous council, and while I wasn't exactly for it, I
still had to - I went along with it because it was signed and it was a contract.
Greenlee: I hope we can find the money in next year's contract to do the things that he is probably
going to propose.
Carter: Let the report read 6 - 1.
