“All right, any additional questions? I want to just take a moment and express appreciation for the staff's time and effort, and our consultants work on this as well, and recognizing this is really the beginning of this process and not the end. That's correct. And so we've got a long ways ahead of us as we get, and so I appreciate everybody's efforts. Next, we'll have council comments and discussion. We'll start. Let's go ahead and start. Council Member Beecham. I don't have any this evening.”

“I hesitate to ask, Jim, how many questions did you have? Okay, I was going to say, you're going to really love Kennewick before we're done. You're going to end up raising our rates. Charges by the questions, good. All right, city manager.”

“Yes. But the 25th is the evening. Thank you. I, too, attended National Night Out and want to just express appreciation to all the city staff and effort that goes towards that, plus the volunteers as well. I mean, I think that we don't always recognize we had members of our Parks Commission, we had members of our Arts Commission that were there as well, Manning Boots, and helping to help folks see what the city has to offer and what the community really has to offer. I don't want to pick on anybody, but I did see a little bit of Richland's National Night Out. It was not quite as good as ours,…”

“And Jim, aren't they doing a, at that party at the point, aren't they allowing people to actually swim the Ironman swimming event or portion of the event as part of that? It kicks at five. It kicks at five o'clock on Friday. As part of that Friday night activity. So I thought that was something I hadn't heard before. I thought that was interesting.”

“And so my last thing I wanted to address this evening was just an update on our drought conditions in the community. And so we do have the latest numbers will be coming out on Thursday. We expect those numbers to hopefully hold at a 58% for the pro-rationed irrigation districts up and down the valley. It's possible it could go down. As we look at the long-term forecasting and concerns about October, and for those that may not recall, Last October was the first time in the history of the Acoma Basin that there was a curtailment for drinking water in some of the upper valley cities. We're…”

“Thank you. Will Don Wicks please lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance this evening?

“I would ask and thank you for those kind remarks. Can I have Don Wick's retired Army First Sergeant and a Purple Heart recipient meet me at the podium to accept the proclamation? Whereas this past July our nation celebrated the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and whereas this milestone was only possible because of generations of brave, selfless men and women who have sacrificed themselves in defense of our freedom, our liberties, and our nation, And whereas George Washington established the Badge of Military Merit in August 1782 to recognize and honor persons injured or…”

“Other things of note for me, I appreciate the comments that have been made this evening. I did get an opportunity to help kick off the Washington Economic Development Association Conference that was held here in Kennewick. I got a chance to speak with Kat Brigham, who's the chairwoman of the Board of Trustees for the Umatilla Commission. Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation, as well as our other mayors from the cities. The mayor from West Bristol would say the Quad Cities, but I would say the Tri-Cities still, to have that opportunity. And, you know, really focused on…”
