A RESOLUTION expressing the desire of the City of Pasco to work
with the Franklin County Irrigation District ("FCID") and requesting that the
FCID Board work with the City of Pasco to develop an Inter-Local Agreement
for the provision of irrigation water to the residential lots in the Desert
Plateau/Riverview Heights area in lieu of the expansion of District
boundaries
WHEREAS, The City Council desires to foster provision of irrigation
water to serve not only the Riverview Heights/Desert Plateau area, but much
of the 182 corridor as well, and
WHEREAS, the FCID has initiated efforts with the residents of the
Riverview Heights/Desert Plateau area of the City of Pasco a proposal to
provide irrigation water through the means of the expansion of the District's
boundaries to include such area and by the formation of a FCID Local
Improvement District to finance the construction of the necessary
infrastructure improvements, and
WHEREAS, The Pasco City Council believes the alternative of the
provision of FCID irrigation water to the area through the means of a long-
term Inter-Local Agreement with the City of Pasco and the formation of a
City of Pasco Local Improvement District is in the best interests of its citizens
by avoiding the risks of inclusion within District Boundaries and a
subsequent rejection of an LID when costs are more certain, and further
avoiding the necessity for additional overlapping of the corporate boundaries
of the FCID and the City of Pasco, now, therefore,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON
HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
1. That it is in favor of the provision of irrigation water to the residents
of the Riverview Heights/Desert Plateau area of the City of Pasco by the
means of a long-term Inter-Local Agreement between the City of Pasco and
the FCID and the subsequent formation of a City of Pasco Local Improvement
District to finance the infrastructure improvements
.r .....
2. Formal request is hereby made to the Board of the FCID that it work
in good faith with the City staff in developing an inter-local agreement to
provide for the provision of FCID irrigation water to the residents of the
Riverview Heights/Desert Plateau area of the City of Pasco in lieu of the FCID
pursuing expansion of its boundaries into the Riverview Heights/Desert
Plateau area of the City of Pasco
