Requests were received from several property owners urging consideration of additional lands and the council delayed meeting with property owners until owners had met with staff and given an opportunity to express their desire to be included in the DNR -BN proposal. Staff has met with the owners twice and observed a significant amount of interest in a larger annexation area. Several additional letters of interest were received. The total amount of property expressing interest (in writing) thus far is depicted in the map attached as Reference A. The Council is required under RCM 35A.14 to meet with property owners and determine whether or not the City will give further consideration to the expressions of annexation interest." MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING UNFINISHED BUSINESS - Continued: APRIL 21, 1980 Mr. Snider moved that the City Council authorize the DNR -BN annexation proposal to proceed in accordance with the following determinations: a) The potential annexation shall include all unincorporated territory lying within the following generally described boundary.

Seconded by Mr. Wilkins. Motion carried by roll call vote of six (6). Councilman Grigg voting no. The following correspondence was received from Lee Kraft, City Manager: "The idea has been advanced by Councilman Bill Wilkins that, if the Federal authorities decide the Old Bridge must ramain in place as a historical monu- ment, it be sold for a nominal charge to some non-profit corporation or foundation whose responsibility it would then be to maintain the facility. That is to say, some private group, which has an interest in the history of the bridge, would take over the bridge and use it to serve the interests of the public for purposes of history. By this means, the Cities (Kennewick and Pasco) would have no obligation to pay for maintenance and operating expenses (including insurance), and would REGULAR MEETING NEW BUSINESS - Continued MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL (Communication from City Manager) APRIL 21, 1980 have no liability for any accidents resulting from failure of the old structure. It is not at all unusual for Drivate foundations to own and manage historic properties for the public benefit. A classic example of this type of arrangement is Mount Vernon, home of George Washington, which is owned and run by a private foundation. The Montecello property in Virginia, home of Thomas Jefferson, is another example. I concur with Mr. Wilkins' views, that if, by the force of events, the old bridge has to remain in place, then insist that a suitable private foundation be formed and the bridge be titled to them to own and operate. The size of the monetary consideration for the sale of the old bridge would have to be worked out between Kennewick and Pasco." Mr. Hendler nave brief history of bridne in relationship to original funding and committment for demolition. He urged all interested parties to attend the public meeting on April 29, 1980 when a final determination will be made. Councilman Snider was concerned that Richland residents are taking such an interest in the Kennewick/Pasco Bridge. Further, they are wanting a North Franklin Bridge across the Columbia; therefore, they could use Old Bridge Superstructure and "preserve it forever." BID RESULTS - 1980 WATER LINE CONSTRUCTION• Mr. Snider moved to award the construction contract for the 1980 Water Line Construction to the lowest responsive bidder, Ray Poland & Sons, Inc., in the amount of $166,155.42, which includes sales tax.
