SUGGESTIONS FROM COUNCIL - GENERAL DISCUSSION: Mr. Wilkins asked about the possibility of providing a Police officer every Thursday evening from 4:00 to 8:00 P.M. at the Health Department on North 4-th Street. He stated the new Director was in terested in expanding the health services as a means of offering free medical assistance and consultation. The City Manager replied that he had spoken to Dr. Cahn in Richland in regard to the subject; however, it presented a problem because Pasco does not have the manpower to provide a full time officer one night a week and if we called on a reserve officer to do it, he expected to be paid for his services. Further, Thursday is a bad night because that is meeting night for the reserves. Mr. Grigg concurred that the City was in no financial position to offer their assistance, but suggested that the City Manager write Dr. Cahn and state it was possible to get reserve;officers at an hourly rate. This appeared to be the general concensus of the Council. Mr. Grigg called attention to recent AWC Meeting and stated there were fourteen (14) areas of concern to the Association. He encouraged the use of letters to our representatives rather than Resolutions as a stronger means of communicating. Following are three major areas of concern for Pasco: 1. Tort Liability 2.
