to meet with the Board of Franklin County Commissioners with the
assistance of an independent Mediator to seek resolution of disputes
concerning the Public Safety Building lease and a successor Jail Agreement
WHEREAS, the Pasco City Council believes that disputes between the

between the County and City policy makers, and
WHEREAS, pending disputes over the lease agreement between the
City and County for space at the Public Safety Building and a successor Jail
Agreement between the City and the County are strapping the limited

alternative dispute resolution process, towards the resolution and settlement
of these issues, now, therefore,
