Councilman Hendler asked how the pool in Richardson Park was progressing. He
was informed that the sidewalls would be poured as soon as they finished
Kurtzman Park, and no definite completion date set.
Councilman Hendler asked what action had been taken at the Boat Basin; namely,
removal or destruction of the "Columbia Queen." The City Manager stated that the
staff had asked the concessionaire to delay burning it due to interest shown by
the Allied Arts Council of refurbishing it for a theatre. Now, the trustees of
the Allied Arts Council have decided not to pursue the venture; therefore, getting
rid of the. boat now would create a logistics problem because the water level has
risen considerably since John Day Dam Pool was filled.
Councilman Hendler suggested the Council approach the Port of Pasco about the
possibilities of establishing a new recreation facility east of the present
Basin, and cancelling lease with the Corps. of Engineers.
Following discussion, motion made by Hendler to notify the Cors of Engineers
of its intention to cancel lease for Boat Basin area. Seconded by Looper.
Motion failed by the following vote: : arter, ooper and Hendler.
NO: Greenlee, Fletcher, Stinson and Stork.
A proposal was submitted by the Benton County Commissioners that the cities
annex the old bridge and pay for a feasibility study ($4,000 each City) to replace
the bridge if the counties agreed to maintain it.
Discussion ensued as to safety of bridge and whether or not the proposal would
bind future county commissioners. Mayor Carter stated these were details which
could be worked out in the legal agreement with the counties.
Motion made by Hendler that we accept the proposal of the Benton Count
Commissioners that the counties will continue to maintain the old bridge-wirR—out
