Mr. Crutchfield stated that the matter is ready to be placed before the council for their vote except that the ordinance to establish the fund and the manner in which the funds can be used is not prepared, and because this is an importart part of the concept, that the two ordinances that are prepared not be adopted until the other one is ready for the March 17, 1980, council meeting. Deputy City Clerk read into the record a letter from Gary E. Bosch in which he objected to the passage of the park ordinance. "I would like to make is known to you have I object to what seems to be the direction under which the council may pass the park ordinance. I have voiced my concerns in the past on various points concerning this ordinance. I have worked in good faith to come up with a compromise on the park ordinance. Mr. Kraft also felt this was something under the circumstances that was fair and equitable for the city and the developers. Changing the proposal time, the wording and the terminology makes it so I cannot agree to this for the following reasons: MINUTES Regular Meeting PASCO CITY COUNCIL March 3, 1930 PUBLIC HEARING - Continued "a. It wasn't the intent to come up with this compromise and then compromise the compromise. b. $100.00 fee should be drafted as an agreement to go with the land with no time limit. c. "50% of the fee" wording is not correct, it should be stated as $100.00. d. The park ordinance as drafted is not completed as of this date and I cannot evaluate the proposed ordinance as it is not in final form. Sincerely, BOSCH DEVELOPMENT COMPANY /s/ Gary E. Bosch, President" Jim Siegel stated that he felt that there was some other way besides adding the costs of parks or anything else the city has to develop to the original cost of a house to a home buyer. Mr. Siegel stated that he was concerned about these costs being added to the original cost as it is becoming more and more difficult to buy a home. Gary E. Bosch stated that he agreed with the statement made by Mr. Siegel. An additional item mentioned by Mr. Bosch was that the maintenance of the parks would be handled by the subdivision and the burden would not be on the city, therefore, the home buyers should be given more benefit than what is being given in the proposed ordinance. John Hamilton of Robert Young & Associates stated that he was in favor of the passage of the ordinance as proposed because it is the lesser of two evils. The ordinance as proposed is easier on the developers than the recently passed ordinance of Kennewick and the one which is proposed in Richland. Mr. Hamilton stated that he felt that developers can live with the proposed fee. Following three (3) calls from Mayor Bailie for further comments from the floor, either for or against, the Public Hearing was declared closed.

MISCELLANEOUS - INCLUDING SUGGESTIONS FROM COUNCIL: Mr. Adams asked about the possibility of making an agreement with Great Western Saving regarding the use of their drive-in window for city purposes. Mr. Kraft stated that he did receive an informal type of proposal which indicated the sum it would cost to rent per month. Mr. Kraft indicated that it was a good idea but at this point in time he felt the rent for the building was too high at this moment in time. Mr. Ard stated that on the morning of March 3, 1980, he had problems with sand being left on the city roads and causing a hazard for citizens and, particularly, motorcycle riders. He felt that more effort should be made to clear the streets. Jim Ajax, City Engineer, did indicate that this has been a problem and that the city will be working to clearup the problem. Mr. Ard also stated that he was concerned with the city spending money on a police management study and the fact that this study was never completed. He was concerned also with the fact that the city clerk did not have any records concerning the grant given to the city for this study. Mr. Kraft responded to the accusations made by Mr. Ard. Mr. Kraft indicated that the gentleman who did the study severed his responsibilities with the firm which the study was done through and that the city had a difficult time getting the final version of the study. Mr. Kraft stated that what happened was that in the last draft nothing was changed so that when the final copy was submitted to us there was a yellow cover on it but rather than retyping the entire report a rubber stamp on each page that says "draft" was left on the page. Mr. Kraft stated that this is the final copy. Mr. Kraft stated that he would accept the responsibility of the city clerk not having a copy of it on file with her records, but Mr. Kraft assured the council and Mr. Ard that nothing was done or is being done which is wrong.
