PUBLIC HEARINGS:
APRIL 7, 1980
MAYOR BAILIE DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN ON BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM:
It was noted that the Hearing had been duly published and posted. There were
no written communications. The City Manager reported the 1979 Block Grant
application had $100,000 in it for storm drain purposes for an L.I.D. project.
This would cover 10th to 14th, and from Lewis to Sylvester. The Engineering
Department has determined that only $60,000 to $65,000 will be needed for the
storm drain. Since the cost of street construction has increased substantially
the past year, the City is seeking citizen input for the possibility of using
the additional $35,000 to $40,000 to reduce the cost of the streets to the
property owners. This amendment will require H.U.D. approval.
Mr. Snider moved to approve the City's amended FY -79 Block Grant Entitlement
Application and authorize the City Manager to execute it and submit it to H.U.D.
for approval. Seconded by Mr. Wilkins. Motion carried by roll call vote of

NSE TO PRELIMINARY CASE REPORT FOR THE DEMOLITION OF THE OLD PASCO/
WICK BRIDGE PREPARED BY TRI CITY AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF RETIRED PERSONS,
CHAPTER NO. 658. Mrs. Helen Hill was acknowledged in audience, who in turn,
duced Mr. Homer Moultrop, President.
Mr. Moultrop gave a brief background of AARP Chapter No. 658 and their interest
in the retention of the Old Pasco/Kennewick Bridge. He stated they, primarily,
supported retention of the Old Bridge as beinq more economically advantageous
than demolition,and being needed as adaptive reuse for non -motorized traffic
in the Tri Cities' developing trailway system.
Mr. Snider questioned Chapter members who are residents of Richland having such
an interest in the Pasco/Kennewick Bridge; further, that this proposal didn't
truly reflect views of Pasco Senior Citizens. Mr. Moultrop reiterated that they
represented all senior citizens of the Tri Cities. Further, they felt that another
advisory ballot should be put before the people in November when a larger turnout
can be expected. Following are five (5) major points they would like considered:
1) Impose a 5 -year moratorium on use of any local matching money for
demolition of the retired Pasco/Kennewick Bridge.
2) Direct the prompt investment of any available local demolition matching
money in a trust fund, the annual interest of which will be used to
provide for long term bridge maintenance and a cushion against inflation.-
3) Instruct local government to urge the federal agencies involved to
include the federal funding now designated for demolition to be in-
vested in the Bridge Maintenance Trust Fund and merged with the local
tax money.
4) Instruct local government to seek adaptive reuse of the retired bridge
as soon as feasible after Passage of enabling legislation.
5) Demolition is energy consuming, whereas retention by incorporating of
the bridge into the Tri -City trailway system for bicycle use would promote
conservation of motor fuel.
