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. �J U1 J ❑ N 1 U Z a p of a Z T Z -C I s (l I 1 W Qf SI / f vTj fn m iJ O , I V O (J r 0.l 1 ,J Q) � a X i Y Q) O G1 V N I 1 NCJ I ..�.3 .- J ❑ N 1 U Z a p J a Z T LA f I s ( I 1 W Qf SI / W T LA f I s ( I 1 W Qf SI / vTj fn m � l O }� I it O (J r 0.l 1 ,J Q) � a X i Y Q) +� N G1 V N I Q10 NCJ I ..�.3 .- CP I - 1 V U T4- I VI I ✓ �ti Ql +� o U r r. m'o =o U r U N .,n LA / vTj fn m V1 F- O X r 0.l 1 ,J Q) � Y +� N SCJ I N ..�.3 .- - 1 V U VI I ✓ �ti Ql N CJ 4` Q) I V) N V1 uj C7 w J X ^ Q v Q � •f � f - F O X F- O � L J Q U Op in Z W � � m i X 7 O 0 Q M M M F- M o N W c � 1 N J F- Q 0 U C (V I � N J u O � � M O O W J a � v i r � O O � O O vWi p � > S 1 J Q U Op in Z W � � m i O 7 O 0 M M M M o Q c � N � O F- � 0 U C (V Cl . � N J u M to O • O O � � W W � 7 0 M M M M o Q c � � O O � 0 U C (V Cl .

MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL MEETING UNFINISHED BUSINESS - Continued: MARCH 10, 1980 Since Franklin County could net the larger amount when applied for, it was the consensus of the group that we should no through the Commissioners.

HIGHLAND PARK HOMES !MATER, SEVER, STREET IMPROVEMENT L.I.D. - PROPOSED CONSULTANT CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES: Mr. Ililkins moved to authorize the Mayor to sign the contract between the City of Pasco and Advanced Engineering for professional services, including preliminary 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).
