Motion carried Mr Snider voted no NEW BUSINESS Cost Sharing Agreement for Oregon Avenue Extension Staff reported that the City, in cooperation with the Port of Pasco in late 1984, applied for an EDA Grant to pay 60% (maximum allowable) of the estimated construction cost ($520,000) to extend Oregon Avenue to connect with Ainsworth Avenue, thus substantially improving truck ingress/egress for the Port area and making about 10 acres of land between the railroad tracks available for development EDA, in August, 1985, authorized the grant in the amount of $312,000 (as originally requested) At that time, the Port and City had informally agreed to split the "local share" ($208,000) two-thirds (or $139,000) Port and one-third (or $69,000) City That split was based on the observation that about two-thirds of the roadway would abutt Port-owned land Since then, the railroad has informed us that the crossings (one mainline and one spur line) will cost about $150,000 more than we had estimated The additional cost is generally attributable to the intricacies of the mainline crossing and its relationship to the electronic switching system As a result of the cost increase and EDA's inability to increase the grant amount, the respective managers of the Port and City reviewed cost-sharing alternatives, the conclusion was that the "local share" (now about $358,000) should be divided on the same rationale that any other developer extended arterial street would be divided The City Manager stated that he and James Ajax would be meeting with officials soon, however, he was not optimistic that costs would be reduced Mr Snider moved to approve the cost-sharing agreement with the Port of Pasco for the extension of Oregon Avenue and authorize the Mayor to sign said agreement Seconded by Mrs Boothe Motion carried by roll call vote of seven (7) 1985 Street Patching Contract -
