COUNCIL CHAMBERS
REGULAR MEETING JUNE 189 1968
Ordinance No. 1312 - Continued:
Councilman Hendler felt that the decision to accept the increased budget for
the Pasco Police Department was up to the general public as there would be
many areas of "tightening the belt." He further cited that law and order
was the crux of our common life, and without it, no community facet can take
place.
Former Councilman Russell Wiseman addressed the Council and stated he was
concerned about the seriousness of passing Ordinances hastily. He felt that
90% of the people didn't realize there was a problem in the Police Department,
and urged restraint before passing the necessary Ordinance.
Councilman Greenlee instructed Mr. Wiseman to encourage others to attend the
Public Hearing on July 2nd, and to read the Police Report in an effort to
better understand the Police goals.
Councilman Stork asked how much Urban Renewal will cost during the next year,
and how much will our Bond Redemption take out of the City's 16 mills. The
Staff is checking this and a report will be forthcoming.
Councilman Hendler asked if a possible solution could be made to find the
$70,000.00 from our current services or a portion. -of. This, also, will be
checked by the Staff.

Councilman Hendler reported that the'Old Bridge Committee had met and proposed

Board with the costs shared equally by the cities and counties. As the counties
own the bridge, they would submit an application on a 60-40 matching basis. If
this proposal is accepted, it would cost the counties $32,000 or $8,000 an entity.
The cities would then apply for funds on a 90-10 basis which would cost the four
groups approximately $2,000 each.

both cities had arterial streets leadin§ to the bridge.
