PUBLIC HEARINGS:
APRIL 15, 1975
MAYOR LINTON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN (RESOLUTION NO. 973) TO IMPROVE
FIFTH AVENUE AND ARTHUR AVENUE FROM COLUMBIA STREET TO COURT STREET:
It was reported that the Hearing had been duly published. The City Manager reported
that protests amounting to $12,115.61 or 7.69% of proposed district had.been received
as of this date.
Mr. AdD. Stanley, 608 W. Yakima, questioned descrepancy on Resolution Nos. - whethe
it should be 973 or 974; further, he had received his notice after the Resolution
had been published in the paper. Mr. Ajax responded that there had been a typo-
graphical error, it should be Resolution No. 973 and all property owners -had received
notification to that effect.
Mr. Bruce Lee protested improvement of 5th Avenue on his assessment; however, Mr.
Lee stated if they were going to improve Shoshone Street where he lives, he would
be in favor of that.
Mrs. June Nay, 720 W. Octave, stated that Horace Menasco, former City Manager of the
City of Pasco, told her that she would not have to pay for Arthur Street improvement,
but she is being assessed for it.
Mrs. Sandra Stanley asked, "when did policy change from modified zone and termini
method of assessment and by whose authority was this authorized or why was it
changed for this particular L.I.D.?" To her knowledge, the City of Pasco had used
zone and termini method for twenty years and she was concerned about change.
Mr. Ajax replied that the State Law states that the property shall be specially
benefited and he felt the method used reasonably reflected benefits. Mr. Ajazz
further expounded on- various assessment. -methods allowed . by. law.
Mr. Tidrick supported staff by stating, "Do things have to be done as they were
in 1957?" To this, Mrs. Stanley replied that in 1964, 1/3 the cost of Arthur
Street was assessed against the property owners; further, 5th Street is'an
arterial and only adjacent property owners should be assessed. Mr. Ajax
stated, "although the street is an arterial, the citizens in center of block do benefit
but`not to the same extent as those abutting-the=street .
Mr. Pat Roach, City Attorney, stated that in determining assessment method, the
City can use any method they -wish as long as the council believes it is in the
best interest of the public and considered reasonable. Mr. Ajax responded that they
useda a=�zo'ne. and.~term'irii� me.tliodr of :a'ssessment ,arid that .zone &Peer-"mini='met-'Izo'�d Gi��- the onl y
m`ethgd:-specifically spelled out in-R.C.W. although it makes provision for other methods.
Mr. Murle Pattee wanted to know how it was determined who benefited from the
assessment. Mr. Ajax replied that they went back to the middle of the block to
determine people specially benefited. This is the same method used Las•ca111yLas In
prior L.I.D.'s.
Mr. Liddington stated itswas his understanding that the assessment on Arthur was
going to be small because Arthur Street was an arterial, now he finds that his
assessment for that portion is as much as paying for street in front of his house.
He wanted to know how much the City and County combined were paying in assessments
for this project. Staff replied that the combined total for both was approximately
$30,000.
Mr. Frank Requist protested L.I.D. for 5th & Arthur because he was also being
caught in the C.B.D. rejuvenation and he felt he could not afford both L.I.D.'s.
Mr. Everett asked, "who wants this L.T.D. - who asked for it, things like this
are going to tax him right out of town." Mayor Linton replied that the City
Council initiated the L.I.D. after receiving numerous complaints from citizens
in the area.- I.
Mr. Nobles asked if this was going to be a "money making" project for the City
or is it an asset. Mayor Linton replied that interest is assessed to cover cost
of selling the bonds and that the City was not making a great profit on these
L.I.D.`s.

Mr. A.D: Stanley asked what is legal limit you can exceed and still proceed with
L.I.D.? Mr. Ajax replied that there was no legal limit but the Ordinance states
it cannot go over $175,000.
Mrs. Henrietta Kennedy stated that she was owner of six 25' lots on West Lewis
Street (site of Arco Station between 5th & 6th), and although she considered
herself a civic minded citizen, she could not afford one L.I.D. on top of another.
She called attention to the fact,that,she is 80 years old and her ability to pay
these assessments was limited. Mrs. Kennedy gave a brief resume of her historical
association in the City of Pasco and reiterated that the City had her best interests
at heart, but she could not afford the improvements.
Mrs. Mary Mudd, 5th & Yakima, stated she would like to protest, "but what good would
it do?"
Mr. Howard Ludwig protested L.I.D. as it was one improvement after another. His
mother stated that all she did was to pay improvements to Pasco, in fact; she has
had..twoinotices for improvements in the last six months.
Mr. Denney replied that there are some people who have agreed to stand expense for
good streets in particular areas. He further stated that streets have'slowly
deteriorated to the point where he felt it,was morally wrong to take money from
taxpayers who wanted, and were willing, to pay for good streets and then patch
old ones. He felt that when a street reached a certain point of deterioration,
it should be torn up and left until the people wanted them fixed.
Mr. Wilkins stated he was also getting an assessment to improve his street and he
was not even.looking back at it. He reminded the -audience that when.citizens
strike a hole in.the.street, then they want to sue the Ci.ty;,therefore, what do
they want.
Some concern was registered against cutting into new street's after they had been
improved. Mayor Linton responded that every effort was being -made to see that
this would not be done.
Mr. Adams asked if property owners on Lewis Street were.assessed when it was
improved some years ago., Staff replied that this was a State highway, therefore,
no assessment was made.
Mr. Pattee complained that area around A & W Root Beer Drive In was a drag strip
and no response had been made to his complaints. Councilman Tidrick replied that
the Police Department tried to respond to all calls, but if Mr. Pattee felt he was
being overlooked, to.direct his complaint to the City.Manager.for action.
Following three (3) calls for further comments from the floor, either for or against,
the Public Hearing was declared closed.
MAYOR LINTON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN FOR -THE -IMPROVEMENT OF LEOLA STREET
FROM POPLAR AVENUE TO ARTHUR AVENUE: (Resolution No..974)
It was reported that the Hearing had been duly published and posted. The City
Manager reported that one (1) protest had been registered against the improvement.
Mr. Les Jacobson expressed concern that all water lines, etc. be installed prior
to -improvement and asked if "speed bumps",.could be installed to slow traffic down.
Mr. Les Uher concurred with speeding problem in their area and stated it was hard
to identify car at 50 mph in all that dust.
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Linton for further comments from the floor,
either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed.

CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT: The City Manager reported that a reduction in cost from
1.7 million to 1:2 million dollars be projected for proposed Central Business District
improvement. The City's application to I.A.C. for funding had been unsuccessful as
their funding was geared more towards outdoor recreation type. By cutting down on
the size of the improvement, the City Manager reported that it would enable us
to fund in our own area; further,.1975 construction would be a 1976 expenditure.
Mr. Ajax briefly outlined proposed.construction schedules as follows: Construction
underway around 11/1/75,'utilities to prepare to, go underground and that should
last approximately three months; an additional 90 days to get lines connected;:_'
therefore, it was.his opinion that we could look forward.to a completed project by
May or June, 1976.
Mr. Denney asked what the cost would be for Step II. The City Manager replied that
the City could go on a fixed sum basis or time and cost basis, or approximately 7%
of construction cost.
Mr. Adams moved that the City Manager be authorized to prepare an addendum to present
consultant's contract, to be presented at Council Meeting of May 6, 1975. Seconded
