He felt that a good portion of them had reached the point where it was no longer economical or practical to patch them. Therefore, he suggested that the Pasco City Council consider setting a standard policy of street maintenance; then, when it was no longer feasible to repair streets, improvements would have to be made through channels of L.I.D.'s, etc. This suggestion will be studied further at a Workshop Session of the Council. The City Manager reported that he and his Staff would be happy to go into any- one's home to explain L.I.D.'s as he felt most people were uninformed as to the proper procedures. Councilman Hendler asked when study for Out of City Water Rates would be ready for Council's perusal. The City Manager reported he had an informational letter and a report would be forthcoming at the next Workshop Meeting on February 10th. Councilman Hendler directed the Council's attention to action on pending City/ County Public Safety Facility. He felt definite action should be taken soon and stated that Mark Pence was in audience to answer any questions the Council may have. Mayor Carter suggested that Mr. Pehce meet with members of the City Council in an impromptu session, following the meeting in order to answer questions and offer suggestions.
