Reports from Committees:
There has been no meeting of the Kennewick Convention Center Advisory Board to date.
Mr. Strebel said the meeting of the Regional Public Facilities District was cancelled due to the departure
of Brian Malley from Benton-Franklin Council of Governments. Sandra Kent with the City of
Richland, and Regional PFD President notified everyone. Uncertain as to whether or not a regional
project or a group of projects will advance. (Discussion)
Mr. Maloney mentioned he is now the VP of the Regional PFD. There is a plan to reschedule the
cancelled meeting in November. He would like to get this Board’s opinion on what they want to pursue.
The Aquatic Center is still a legislative priority. Kennewick is supporting a Convention Center
Expansion, Pasco a Water Park and Richland does not have a project or the support for one.

Mr. Dietrich stated the biggest impact to the community would be a water park. Mr. Jilek mentioned
the regional group would support a water park if not located here. Mr. Maloney said there is a push for
a support of a grand bargain but until Richland has a project there would be no bundle.
The board discussed this matter further and decided to continue to pursue a Pasco stand-alone project.
