KENNEWICK OLD BRIDGE COMMITTEE: A letter from the Kennewick Old Bridge
Committee was read as follows:
"With further reference to the community problem of the old bridge
between Kennewick and Pasco, following our letter of March 25., 19669
this matter was considered by the Commissioners of Benton County.
The Commissioners, of course, are fully aware of the background of
the bridge and past activities concerning it.
The thinking of the Benton County Commissioners was that in lieu of
backup agreements, which would involve eventually an annexing of a
part of the bridge by each of the Cities of Kennewick and Pasco, the
annexation should take place at this time with the Cities of Kennewick'
and Pasco each annexing 1/4'(one fourth) of the bridge.
It was felt if this was done, then both Counties and both cities
could join in andnified'application to HHFA for Federal advance
planning funds. Such an application would enhance the recognition
that this is a community problem and that the entire community wishes
action taken to improve the present condition.
If there was the annexation, it would, of course, follow that any
expenses involved in obtaining the advance planning funds would be
shared on a 1/4 basis by each of the Cities and the Counties as would
the other problems in connection with the bridge.
The consensus of the•.thinking of our committee is that this is a
reasonable request by the Commissioners of Benton County, which we
understand also meets with t"hd'approval of the Commissioners of Franklin
County. Our committee, therefore, asks that both Pasco and Kennewick
take such legal steps needed in order to consider annexing 1/4 of the
bridge and that in each case, a hearing be held to more fully determine
whether such action meets the approval of the people of each City.
We shall appreciate advice from both Pasco and Kennewick as to
whether this is a satisfactory initial step in attacking the community
problem that exists and if a hearing is held, we shall appreciate
being advised so that we may make arrangements to be present."
/S/ Hugh B. Horton, Chairman
FollOwing discussion, this item of business was referred to Workshop Session
of the Council on June 14, 1966.
CORNELL HOWLAND' HAYES 6 MERRYFIELD: A letter from Cornell, Howland,
Hayes 6 Merryfield was read for information - advising the Council of a

"This letter is a request to the Pasco City Council to revaluate
the recent decision of the Pasco Planning Commission not to recommend
that the area west and immediately adjacent to the ingress to the City
and the area lying east of Oregon Street be rezoned to commercial use.
I would like to bring to the attention of the City Council that
the comprehensive plan recommends this area be zoned commercial and
that a recent request of an area adjacent to the cemetery was approved.
The area involved coincides with the development of Oregon Street and
provisions by the State Highway Department has anticipated this use in
their intersection planning.
I. therefore, appeal to the City Council to approve this zone change
request in order that development of this property may be initiated.
This area, especially because it is on the east side of the City,
should be encouraged to become upgraded and developed into a taxable
asset to the community."
