Engineer, reported that questions were asked but there were no
written protests.
Mr. Dennis Dillman, Manager of Copeland Lumber, asked about time
frame and whether or not they would be penalized for not getting

want new lighting installed, he felt this was the time to do it
and not later on. Mr. Wright replied the City would like
improvements made prior to the Goodwill Games, and the lights can
be added later.
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Jackson for further comments
from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.

property owners along Court Street between 20th Avenue and 26th

Court Street - School Crossing Signs at 22nd Avenue. Mr.
Hendler moved to enter into an agreement with the Pasco School
District concerning the installation, operation and maintenance
of a new overhead school crosswalk sign and flasher assembly to
be installed on Court Street at 22nd Avenue. Seconded by Mr.
Garrison.
Mr. Jensen asked if a study had been done at this location as
well as 10th & Court. Staff replied that it had not been started
but he felt something had to be done before school starts and the
one proposed would be similar to the one used at Longfellow
School. Mr. Jensen was still concerned that a flashing light
would not solve the problem; further, how long would the study
take? Staff noted this is the busy time of year for
construction projects so they felt confident it could not be done
before September unless the City contracted with a consultant.
Mr. Garrison felt it was a piecemeal approach and would not stop
cars traveling 30 - 35 mph. He felt we needed something to stop
traffic and have the Police Department monitor crossing.
Mr. Hendler stated we should be happy that we have an increase in
traffic. It means growth, people, prosperity, etc.
Main motion carried.
