VISITORS: MAYOR CARTER DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN FOR VISITORS FROM RICHARDSON PARK AREA RELATIVE TO PROPOSED SWIMMING POOL LOCATION: LEE RICHARDSON, 1911 N. Chase, representing his mother, Mrs. Matilda Richardson of 1903 N. Chase, stated they would favor the pool provided the location remained at approximately 80' east of the alley as previously discussed. ROBERT HULL, 1735 N. Meridian, did not oppose the pool, but felt serious con- sideration should be given to the drainage problem in that area before any definite site for the pool. was established. His main concern was standing waste water which periodically fills park area, and further stated if the pool would be located in Richardson Park, it should be at the west end. J.S. MOOTZ, 1907 N. Meridian, favored the pool but was opposed to the proposed location at northeast corner, due to its service as a catch basin for excessive run-off water. JAMES BEECROFT, 1915 Meridian, supported Mr. Mootz's statement. JERRY RINEHART, 1904 W. Pearl, was concerned about drainage problem and excessive water going into surrounding basements. THEO STARR, 1907 Richardson, asked what parking facilities were available? Mayor Carter answered that parking would be on Meridian, Pearl and Richardson Street, and hopefully, most of the traffic would be foot and bicycle traffic. LARRY HATTEMER, 907 W. Pearl, asked if the Council anticipated any traffic problems on Pearl Street. He was informed that Pearl Street had always been busy, but it was felt that the swimming pool wouldn't create a greater problem. At this point, Mayor Carter asked the City Staff if something was going to be done about the drainage problem in this particular area. The City Manager answered that this was a Second Priority Project, and while he recognized the ptoblems experienced by residents in the area, this was a project that would cost approxi- mately $300,000.00 plus, as the storm sewer would drain west on Pearl Street to Road 22, then south to the river. He further stated that this was an area which would be considered for improvement as soon as budgetary funds were available. MRS. DONALD HOLDEN, 1920 Richardson, favored the pool in the northeast corner. Following discussion, pro and con, motion made by Hendler that the pool be placed in the qeneral Tocati.on as it now appears on the map in Richardson Park, which is basically east o e center ine of Richardson Street, on !he northern Rortion o epark.kSeconded by Stork.

That the four entities share in the maintenance of the old structure at 25% each - up to a maximum of $2500 for,the City's share. 2. If the Cities realize additional gas tax or other tax revenues by virtue of annexation of the bridge, such additional monies would go into the maintenance -of the old structure. 3. The maintenance formula as stated above would remain in existence until a new structure that was not adjacent to or adjoining the present structure, and that was entirely within the City limits was constructed, and then our Cities would have the maintenance responsibilities of the old bridge. 4. Assuming City annexation of the old bridge, all entities would share equally 25% in the matching funds for the $500,000 project at an amount of $12,500 per entity. 1 1 1 PASCO, WASHINGTON COUNCIL CHAMBERS REGULAR MEETING MANAGER'S REPORT: MAY 7, 1968 Ulu L.I.D.
