“Mr. Mayor? Yes. You know what, I just started looking at that. I do have a question. On the consent agenda on H, as I went through that, I did not see that. I am one of the owners of Desert Sands on that plat. So I probably should refrain from that vote. even though it's a consent agenda item.”

“Yes, please. Anthony, following up on that, it seems to me it's an interesting designation change going from residential. I would normally assume that the facility or whoever owns that property has requested to go to public facility because that becomes a very limited land use. I guess number one is why would that change take place without the request from the landowner?”

“indicated during the public comment period the visitor portion of the meeting just to ensure that we don't change kenwick school district's property as well one quick follow-up i might on that not knowing well enough with school is there something in the code that would allow for a school just a school to build on that in residential low or any other other than public facility”

“So it wouldn't limit them if that was to still, if this cell was to fall apart and didn't go public facility, they could come in, ask for the conditional use, move forward with their other parcel to build the school exactly where it's at?”

“The adjacent neighbor, do we have any idea what they're looking to do with that property? Would they be looking for a zone change on it, or do we know?”

“And with that in the process, as we go through that, does that automatically, if we decide to move forward, enter into an agreement with them, or does that just go on the market for an open bid, or do we negotiate openly with them? with anybody to receive a bid on that property, or how does that process work?”

“Okay. Yes, Council Member Beecher. I don't disagree with that. I just want to make sure. Those can run concurrent at the same meeting. You can have the public hearing the night that we'd be voting on it, correct? Is it a planning thing? I'm just trying to get staff involvement on something like that. It'd just be one public hearing at our city council meeting.”

“Council Member Vito. So this isn't new. Obviously, we've been talking about this for six and a half years since I've sat here for different reasons, I think, throughout. And I don't even fully say that I can remember all the different reasonings and how it's all changed. And there's been a lot of different organizations. And I don't have them all clear in my head. I think I understand how we operate this currently. With that being said, if we said, hey, the city's responsibility is to do an animal control facility. I think in the past, on this hybrid model, the problem was the nonprofit,…”

“My opinion is we probably have a duty for the animal control facility as a city. and we're obviously just looking at this very quick slideshow. We're not very good at taking the other side of this, um, city staff stepped up and I think it's doing the best we can, but there's probably people out there. This is what they do and they have a passion for it and get them involved much more than what we are able to do. Um, I'd much prefer to see that. Let us do, this will sound bad. I have multiple dogs. I've had dogs forever and ever. So, um, The city should do the minimum amount to get it over to…”

“So hopefully there's an organization to step up, but that would be mine. The animal control side, do what we have to, and then let them take over and do it. that would be the first one for you well i guess it's the third one yeah the hybrids well i'm saying the only part that we i don't want to have any part of the the hybrid side i'm saying for me i'm just saying we do we just offer the animal control facility i don't know in the hybrid side are we still involved with the non-profit side i mean i'm trying to cut ties saying we're going to participate in this and they can”

“I would love that. I mean, we just spent a lot of money building a big facility that I don't know is underutilized at that point. Now you're telling a nonprofit to step up and, you know, we've got this big, beautiful building and now go operate out of the kind of building we just tore down. That's tough for me. I would prefer to do it. Yes, just what number one says, operate ours as an animal control, but I can see there's some huge problems. But that would be my first one, yes. We just have an intake and then we do our hold and they're gone to somewhere else. not not utilizing that facility…”

“Mr. Mayor, I think Lisa was blinking at me that she wanted to be that in charge, but I couldn't tell what her blinks meant just throwing that out there. I wasn't going to make it easy. Did you see it too? Okay, I'm sorry.”

“Thank you. I'll piggyback on that. I was not able to attend that meeting. I was out of town, but... PFT will have free fair rides for the fair and rodeo. And so go to that. Go to Kamiakin. Lampson Stadium, there's a place in Pasco, a place in Richland. So I think it costs you $10, $12, $15, $20 to park your car now. It takes forever to get out of that, especially after the rodeo. So ride the bus. I think they were charging last year. I think we did $1, $3 a donation. I can't remember. It's changed every year. This year it's free. So go use it. Don't pay for parking. It's a good service for…”

“I didn't remember until the city manager said something over there. Saturday, I got a phone call from the Corvette Club, and they were freaking out. Some stuff had happened to them, some change in a permit for Columbia Park. They've been doing this for 16 years, and all of a sudden they'd had some big changes. They weren't able to do what they had done, and some rules had been put in place from the city of Kennewick that we weren't aware of. I was able to reach out to the city manager today. And in her speedy way, in about 45 minutes, handled the whole problem. And the guy that was ready to…”
