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.

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." /S/ Mack A.
