Unlike the other property owners in this area, we have planned to use our property as a residence. Therefore, we have added many expensive improvements in the past four years, including a three room self-contained guest house and a large greenhouse with sliding glass doors: We have had our property appraised and by square footage of living area alone, it is worth $65,000. We spoke to the City Planner, Mr. Crutchfield, and he agreed that our property should be zoned residential, and he suggested that we present this proposal to you this evening.

"After checking with.my attorney, I learned I do have a potential professional exposure in regard to this matter, and I want to officially go on record regarding my position as Chairman of the Insurance Committee for the Pasco Insurance Agents Association for handling the risk of the Intercity Bridge. After considerable research, I do not accept the theory of the Intercity Bridge Committee in that the Federal Government will take care of a catastrophic loss of the Intercity Bridge. Recog- nizing that the City Councils may make whatever decision they wish, I want to go on record as recommending the following points: , 1) The City of Pasco carry some type of insurance on the Intercity Bridge to take care of a catastrophe. The amount of insurance and amount of deductibles would be as determined by a Committee appointed by the Pasco and Kennewick City Councils, or 2) The two City Councils enter into a formal self-insurance plan for payment of potential damages of the -Intercity Bridge. The self-insurance proposal to be worked out by the two City Councils with all points being clearly addressed so in event of a catastrophe, and in the event that help from the Federal Government is not available, it would not create an economic hardship on either community." /s/ Ed Ray' Main motion carried by roll call vote of seven (7).
