MINUTES
REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL JULY 16, 1990
MAYOR JACKSON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER A CODE
AMENDMENT DEALING WITH AGRICULTURAL USES AND SPECIAL PERMITS FOR
AGRICULTURAL USES.
Mr. David McDonald, Director of Community Development, stated
that the hearing had been duly publicized and all affected
property owners notified. The purpose of this hearing is to
determine if the proposed Ordinance should be changed to permit
the growing of alfalfa and pasture grass on tracts of land 40
acres or larger without the need of a special permit.
Mr. Jensen asked how we arrived at the 40 acre minimum and was
further concerned that restrictions of this kind could
potentially wipe out the small farmer raising strawberries, corn,
etc. Mr. McDonald replied that is such an operation were in
effect at the present time, it would be "grandfathered" in.
Concern was raised as to spraying, etc. Mr. Kilbury replied this
is regulated by the State and we should not involve ourselves in
this matter.
Mr. Tom Kidwell asked that alfalfa and pasture be excluded from
proposed Ordinance and to consider smaller acreages.
Mr. Snider defended farming practices and felt the growing of
alfalfa and pasture land was the most compatible to adjacent
property owners. He felt it more important to regulate what
kind of farm rather than size.
Mr. Earl Warren, 520 S. 26th, stated he had lived neighbors to a
small pasture type farm and there had been no problems. You
don't do anything to it but put a little fertilizer on it and
water. Farming should be allowed by special permit, then you
have control over it.
Mr. Bob Tippett, 2716 Rd. 64, favored the continuance of small
acreages and felt that alfalfa and pasture should be excluded
from proposed Ordinance. We shouldn't get too restrictive in our
thinking.
Following three (3) calls from Mayor Jackson for further comments
from the floor, either for or against, the public hearing was
declared closed.
Mr. Hendler moved to continue public hearing until August 6, 1990
for Ordinance revisions. Seconded by Mr. Snider. Motion
carried. Mr. Kilbury voted no.

MAYOR JACKSON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN TO CONSIDER
PROPOSED SIX-YEAR STREET IMPROVEMENTS FOR YEARS 1991 - 1996.
Mr. James Ajax reported that the proposed Six-Year Street
Construction Program consists solely of annual overlay program,
together with the Lewis/Sylvester Street Interchange. Staff
recognizes there are other needs not addressed but until a
long-term financially sound revenue package is put together, it
is staff's recommendation that all current revenues be available
for the overlay program to maintain the street system that has
been previously improved to City standards.
Mr. Kilbury asked about "A" and Lewis. Mr. Ajax replied that the
design had been put on hold; further, we won't be in a negative
