UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
PUBLIC TRANSIT: The following communication was received from Mr. George Smith,
Manager of !,Iashinnton State Department of Transporation:
"In discussion with Commissioner Utz of Benton County and Mr. George
Kloeppel of BFGC, they indicate that Your Council has concerns in two
areas:
1. What do Pasco and Franklin County need to do to obtain planning
funds to study public transportation in their area?
a. Both Pasco and Franklin County are eligible for Public
Transportation Feasibility Study Grants. Pasco can re-
ceive approximately $12,000 and Franklin County approxi-
mately $15,000. This funding is available to a governmental
agency (City or County) by making a written request to this
Department and entering into an agreement with this agency.
b. Franklin County, and only Franklin County, can request
Comnrehensive Transit Plan funding: This funding can be
obtained in the following ways:
1) Formation of a Bi -County PTBA
2) Formation of a Franklin County PTBA
3) Annexation to Benton County PTBA. (requires a ballot issue)
These funds ($1.00 per capita to $50,000 max.) can be obtained once the
PTBA noverninn board is formed, or in the case of annexation, the board
is reconstituted.
2. If Comprehensive Transit Planninn ponies are received and no election
is held, then negotiations with the PTBA would be required for WSDOT
to recover the money. As the Comprehensive Tri nsit Plan monies are
provided only to the PTBA governing board after it is constituted,
the payback would be the responsibility of the Board. Since the funds
presently available would only be Franklin County's share, it is
assumed that the return of any monies would be by the legal entities
of Franklin County that were included in the PTBA. If an election
were held and the tax issue defeated, then the loan would be forgiven."
Mr. Smith was in the audience and elaborated all the points for benefit of the
Council. He gave out a handout which gave a step by step process and options
open to the Council. (Handout attached to minutes as part of permanent record).
City Manager, Lee Kraft, introduced Franklin County Commissioners Bruce
4hitenarsh and Harold Matthews to audience. Further, Benton County Commissioner,
Kathy Utz and Benton -Franklin Governmental Conference representative, George
Kloeppel were also acknowledged. Mrs. Utz gave brief disertation, urging the
City of Pasco and Franklin County to join with Benton County to study the merits
of a mass transit system.
County Commissioner, Bruce Hhitemarsh, reiterated that Franklin County would cooperate
With the City of Pasco in a feasibility study. Mrs. Utz gave a possible time schedule
for benefit of those in attendance.
The City Attorney stated that legally the City Manager could write to the Dept. of
Transportation reguestinq money for study; however, it City chose to apply for
Planninn Transit money, it would have to be by Resolution.

Mr. Ililkins moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the contract between the City

and construction engineering, on the SE Highland Park Homes Area !later, Sewer,
Street L.I.D., at such time as the Finance Director advises that the developers
have fully satisfied their financial guarantee requirements on the project.
Seconded by llr. Schmidt.
Prior to question, the City Engineer submitted the following statement via agenda
report.
"In oversizing water for transmission mains, there will, no doubt,
be a cost in the order of $25,000 to the water utility that is not
budgeted. Additionally, and extremely inportantly, council should
clearly understand that if this contract is executed, the City will
incur significant costs should council elect to not create the L.I.D.
Clearly, the petitioning parties (Bob Pischel, Dr. Nelson, John Kennedy,
and the American Pacific Corporation) will have sufficient assessment
to prevent the L.I.D. from beinn stopped by protest. It is, however,
oossible that some of the other smaller property owners are being
forced into the L.I.D. They will not be wrong."
He asked the Council's patience if some special meetings might be called or
late agenda reports. Mr. Ajax publicly commended all developers for their cooperation.
Plain motion carried by roll call vote of five (5).
