PA.SCO ARCADE: As the. decision has not been handed down from King County 're: Arcades, and word had been received that tenants of the Pasco Arcade may vacate, the City Manager asked the Council if they wished to go chasing'after delinquent taxes when legal fees to do so would probably amount to as much as taxes owed. It was his recommendation that if the premises were vacated by March 1, 1974, that the City take no further action to collect outside taxes. The City Attorney responded by stating that in exchange for vacation of premises, the Cit, would be settling a disputed matter The City Manager further responded to the Council that the fees could not be collected until the court case is resolved, so the money owed is only an assumption of debt, but would have no effect on Elmo's if the Icing County case supports our City Ordinance. If the Pasco Arcade were to reopen at another location, the business would be under the new Ordinance. Mr. Schor moved that the City of Pasco accept offer of settlement from the Pasco Arcade with amended date of March 1, 1974 for vacancy. Seconded by Mr. Adams.
