MANAGER'S REPORT:

the State o Washington Census Board - whether or not Pasco will take census

report at the next Workshop Meeting in order to make a definite decision
soon.
MEMORIAL FOUNTAIN: A letter from Lyle Balderson, City Planning Commission,
was read as follows:
"At a workshop meeting of the City Planning Commission held Thursday,
February 2, 1967, the Queen of Spades Garden Club presented a sketch of
a proposed fountain to be located in that area just south of the.Library.
The Planning Commission was very much in favor of allowing construction of
the fountain and felt that the area chosen was suitable and would definitely
be an asset to the surrounding area, and in general, to the City of Pasco.
Therefore, the Commission recommends to the City Council that the fountain
be permitted in the location proposed by the Garden Club, and that the
Council consider providing assistance to this club in the form of labor
and materials so that the construction can be undertaken immediately."
The City Council agreed with the Planning Commission's recommendation that
the fountain would greatly enhance the City's Beautification Program.
CLAIM - UNIS ALLEN: A claim in the amount of $2,264.90 was submitted by
Unis Allen as a result of sewer back up. This has been referred to the
City's Insurance Carrier.
LEGISLATIVE BILLS 186 and 218: Mayor Carter encouraged all to write their
Representatives in regar to ills 186 and 218 (Firemen working hours -
arbitration committee) as he felt they were unjust to single out one
particular department for special consideration. (Letter to be drafted for
signatures of all Councilmen - apposing Bills 186 and 218).
ADJOURNMENT:
Motion made by Bailey, seconded by Sto r k that the meeting adjourn. Motion
