CENTRAL LABOR COUNCIL - KURTZMAN PARK: A Quit Claim Deed from Tri -Cities Vista
Terrace, Inc. and Tri -Cities Low Cost ousing, Inc. to the City of Pasco, representing
approximately five acres adjacent to Kurtzman Park, was presented for consideration.
By this deed, the Central Labor Council proposes that the City of Pasco develop a
recreational facility to serve both the Lincoln Terrace and Urban Renewal neighbor-
hood within one year, and if not developed in that time, it would revert back to the
Central Labor Council.
Discussion ensued amopg the Councilmen relative to the merits of accepting such
deed.
Councilman Hendler was hesitant about accepting the gift as he felt it would put
the City &n an embarrassing position in the event there weren't funds available
at the end of a year to develop such a facility. He further stated that substantial
cutbacks were made in the Recreation Department Budget this year, and to accept
deed as written, could impose an additional burden on the City in the event of
financial deficit.
Councilman Fletcher suggested a day care center be considered for this site and to
explore the possibilities of federal funds for such a project which would involve
a small cash outlay on the part of the City.
