FRANKLIN COUNTY RESOLUTION NO WC - 61
A JOINT RESOLUTION of the City of Pasco and Franklin County
providing for the appointment of a citizen's
committee to analyze general fund conditions and
propose appropriate solutions
WHEREAS, the 1985 Franklin County General Fund ended with a
$285,000 negative balance, and
WHEREAS, the impending State mandate to open the new jail will
increase the County's recurring operations expense level an additional
estimated $300,000, and
WHEREAS, the likely loss of General Revenue-Sharing funds from
the Federal government is expected to cause a $400,000 reduction in
1987 recurring operations revenue, and
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco's 1987 General Fund is expected, due
to the anticipated loss of $480,000 of General Revenue-Sharing funds
from the Federal government, to end that year with a $438,000 negative
balance, and
WHEREAS, such current and anticipated deficits require the City
and the County to generate additional General Fund revenues through
a very limited variety of tax options, and
WHEREAS, prior to imposition of additional local taxes for General
Fund operations, both the City and County legislative bodies desire
the informed advice of the community, and
WHEREAS, the Greater Pasco Area Chamber of Commerce has indicated
its willingness to identify a citizen's committee to review the financial
condition of both the City and County General Funds, analyze the available
options, and advise the City and County of appropriate solutions, NOW,
