PUBLIC.HEARING.- FEE.SCHEDULE - BOAT BASIN:
MAYOR CARTER DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN FOR THE PURPOSE OF HEARING PROS
AND CONS RELATIVE TO FEE SCHEDULE SUBMITTED BY THE BOAT BASIN TO INDIVIDUAL
BOAT CLUBS:
Mayor Carter acknowledged large crowd in attendance and instructed attorneys
for Boat Basin and Boat Clubs that they would each have fifteen minutes to speak
on behalf of their clients.
ROGER OLSON, Attorney for Desert Marina , 'stated his clients had submitted a
Fee Schedule that they felt was fair and just for all in view of the fact that
the Basin had become too small, the necessity for the concessionaire to make a
profit in order to stay in business and that it was unfortunate the rates had
not been raised accordingly through the years, rather than all at once. He
commended the Boat Clubs for work they had performed at the Basin, but felt
,the Marina had derived very little gasoline business from the various Boat
Clubs,,a service which the Concessionaire's Lease called for.
Mr. Olson concluded his presentation by stating the only action required of
the City Council was to approve or disapprove the Fee Schedule, as presented.
JOHN SCHULTZ, Attorney for Tri City Power Boat Association and Sacajawea Boat
Club opened his presentation by stating rather than approving or disapproving
the Fee Schedule, he would request the Council to consider an,. "Approvable
Rate." After passing out copies of the original lease issued in 1955, Mr.
Schultz contended the original lease consisted of a strip approximately 100'
x 100' and was the only property ever leased to John Owsley. Since that time,
the Boat Clubs had made substantial improvements such as dredges, berms, roadways,
anchors, docks and other beautification projects„at their own expense. He felt
that $250 a year was an "approvable rate” and well in line with charges made by
other Marinas for services rendered.
After rebuttal comments from both attorneys, audience participation pro and con
with the Councilmen, motion made by Greenlee, seconded by Robinson that the
rates remain the same as they are now - only until December 31, 1967, or until
such time as the Corps of Engineers gives a guide line. At this time, Attorney
Olson withdrew the suggested Fee Schedule. Councilmen Greenlee and Robinson
withdrew their motion.
Mayor Carter declared the Public Hearing Closed.

NINYA VOORHEES was recognized by Mayor Carter. She presented the City of Pasco
with trophy which had been presented to her by Governor Evans in Olympia. It was
her opinion that the trophy had been won by all who had worked with her and

Mrs. Voorhees with an inscribed plaque for outstanding service from the City of
Pasco and stated, on behalf of Council and City Staff, that she should keep trophy
as it was a personal award and much deserved.
