PUBLIC HEARING
MAYOR JACKSON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO RECEIVE INPUT AND COMMENTS
ON PROPOSED 1985-1990 SIX-YEAR STREET CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF PASCO
It was noted that the hearing had been duly publicized, as required by law
There were no written communications received
Mr Dennis Wright, City Engineer, gave the following history and facts brief
"Each year, all cities are required to submit a Six-Year Street Construction
Program The proposed projects in terms of cost must reasonably equal anticipated
revenue The revenue picture for the coming year remains better than in the past
few years due to the accumulation of money in the City's Overlay Fund, increase in
Gas Tax Funding, funding of the Urban Arterial Program, and the continuation of
Federal Highway Funding Programs
Last year, staff noted that four projects needed immediate attention Those projects
were 20th Avenue (By-Pass to Airport), East Lewis (Wehe to Avery), Oregon Avenue
Extension (A to Ainsworth) and 10th Avenue (A to Clark) Two of the projects -
20th Avenue and 10th Avenue, are in the works, leaving Oregon Avenue and East Lewis
To those two projects, we have added 4th Avenue from Sylvester to Court and Oregon
Avenue from the By-Pass to the north City limits The remainder of the program
includes traffic signal projects and overlay program from last year, as well as
three proposed L I D 's "

East Pasco Neighborhood Facility and Kurtzman Center Use Agreement Mrs Green

Use Agreement with the East Pasco Neighborhood Council, owing to unsatisfactory
performance, and to direct staff to issue a call for proposals for recreation

Prior to vote, Mrs Green expressed regret for this decision as she did not feel
that Mrs. Cain had had sufficient time to put her plans into action She commended
her for her efforts
The City Clerk read the following communication into the record
"As President of the EPNC, I am withdrawing our organization's
request to provide programming in the Kurtzman Park Building
Realizing that it is the credability of EPNC and not my own that
is in question, and trying in time to avoid this happening, I
believe that under these conditions that it makes it hard for us
to continue to provide community services to all the citizens of
East Pasco To us, these needs are too great for our work to be
jeopardized by this constant hassle
We will, however, continue to be of whatever service we can and
believe as an East Pasco based organization that we are aware of
the needs of the residents of East Pasco We will oppose special
interest groups having control of our public facility meant for the
use of all residents in this area and not just a certain segment
Please get this information to the Council members for tonight's
meeting I would also like to thank the council members for their
concern and to let them know that I will continue to be a representative
for the people of East Pasco " /s/ Billie Cain, President

the fact that Benton-Franklin Community Action Committee has approxi-
mately $8,000 for program director salary and wages, and approximately
$2,000 for special interest classes such as sOimming passes, tennis

If you and the council approve, we would like to have you consider
the Benton-Franklin Community Action Committee and the City of Pasco
entering into an agreement whereby the Community Action Committee
would provide programming of activities at the East Pasco Neighborhood
Facility when it reopens and immediately at the Kurtzman Park Building
We will work closely with your Park and Recreation staff to assure East
Pasco participation in other City-wide programs We will also work closely
with community leaders and organizations to receive input for programming
needs in the community
After an evaluation time and this arrangement is satisfactory with the
City of Pasco and the Community Action Committee, we would look to
more long term programming and needs in these facilities Thank you
for your assistance and we will be awaiting your reply " /s/ Randy Ryan
