on new form designed and required by the State. Mr. Ajax reiterated that staff is
not, specifically, recommending that all twelve projects be done but they were needed.
Further, the first twelve recommended projects are on the list because in order to
be eligible for Urban Arterial Funding, they must be a part of the Six -Year Street
Program. The Urban Arterial Board divided the State into six or seven regions -
Pasco happens to be in Region 'No. IV, City number is 960 and the route number is
8 which we assigned some years ago. Per request of Mr. Adams, the City Engineer
reviewed program, funding sources and order of priority. All of first sheet is
shown as 1978 Construction - reason being, we wanted to be considered for funding
at the Urban Arterial Board Meeting of July 21st.

streets improved through L.I.D. means which would improve values of properties in
-various neighborhoods-anda,also,a positive effect—on--the ._community. This wou,l.d, also.!.v
