MINUTES PASCO CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING MAY 16, 1988 REPORTS FROM COMMITTEES AND/OR OFFICERS Golf Course Advisory Committee, May 3, 1988. Mr. Morgan reported that discussion had ensued over construction of 24 new golf sheds. It appeared that the cost was more than people wanted to pay, therefore, it is doubtful that we will get the numbers signed up to warrant construction. Attendance has been up at the Golf Course and the grounds are in excellent condition. Plans are underway to propose our Golf Course as location of Cross Country Meet due to ideal weather and grounds.

ORDINANCES/RESOLUTIONS NOT RELATED TO PUBLIC HEARINGS RESOLUTION NO. 1832- 0 A RESOLUTION AMENDING THE 1985-1988 HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN FOR THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON. Resolution No. 1832 was read by title only. Mr. Kraft moved to approve Resolution No. 1832, adopting an amended Housing Assistance Plan for the City. Seconded by Mr Snider. Mr. Dave McDonald stated that the Pasco Housing Authority has made application to the Federal Government to receive rental assistance over and above what was anticipated when the HAP was prepared in 1985. To assist in its funding request, the Housing Authority has asked the City to amend the Housing Assistance Plan. When the 3-year Housing Assistance Plan was prepared in 1985, the City indicated there were 1,342 households that were in need of housing assistance in one form or another. Through discussions with the Housing Authority, it was determined that it would be realistic to set a goal of providing rental subsidies to 150 of these households. With the possibility of the Housing Authority receiving additional funding for 160 units, it is likely that the City could achieve higher housing assistance goals. Mr. Jack Lippold explained process to the City Council and identified Ambassador Court Apartments, 1712 N. 24th Avenue, as complex being considered. Owners would be required to maintain units and they would be inspected annually for compliance. Main motion carried. illADJOURNMENT No further business, the meeting adjourned at 8 15 P.M.
