15. RECONSIDERATION OF FUNDING FOR AIRPORT FOREIGN TRADE ZONE AND
CUSTOMS OFFICE
Bob Clem, Airport Manager, directed attention to the
information presented today to the Council and asked for
direction concerning alternatives for the Foreign Trade Zone
(FTZ) and Customs Office. The funding for the Customs Office
ends the end of March. Rick Linneweh, President of the Board
2
473
MARCH ,19, 1996
141)
of Yakima County Development Association (YCDA) /New Vision,
summed up the situation ° which `is putting the funding for the
Customs Office in jeopardy. The Customs Office is being
inadequately used, resulting in insufficient revenue to
offset the expenses. He indicated that part of the problem
is that there is no industrial park. He stated that he would
like to have the opportunity to present to the New Vision
Board a proposal to work with the City and County to save
I/ this important economic tool. They would work to make sure
that any new recruitment into this community would be made
aware of the FTZ. He also suggested a role for New Vision in
the immediate near future would be to bring together existing
businesses who could be a sub -area FTZ to discuss that issue
as well as funding that could result from being a sub -area
FTZ. Skip Semon, member of the Airport Board and committee,
urged Council to continue to support the Customs Office
through the end of the year. Council members discussed the
request to keep the FTZ designation; however, without the
Customs Office, it would require a change in the law. Staff
was advised that Yakima could be served by Seattle Customs
Office and concurrently they would help us change the law,
however, without the Customs Office, Yakima would probably
lose the FTZ designation. It was noted . that if the funding
is not approved, there is still a contractual obligation to
continue funding through the 120 day notice period. Council
Member Berger felt it would be unwise to continue a program
which has been in existence for five years and is not
adequately utilized and, therefore, still requires
subsidization. Council Member Beauchamp spoke about the need
for this program to spur economic development. He suggested
that aggressive marketing could make this program viable. It
was MOVED BY SIMS, SECONDED BY BEAUCHAMP, TO EXTEND THE
CUSTOMS SERVICE THROUGHOUT 1996. Council Member Sims noted
that a decision for funding for 1997 will have to be made in
1996 before the 120 day termination window would bring it
into 1997. Susan Willoughby, 1715 McCullough Rd., stated the
use of the Customs Office and revenue verses expenses, does
not justify continuing the program. Joe Gero, New Vision,
stated they are working on a concept for an industrial park
in the Upper Valley which would work well with the Foreign
Trade Zone. He stated he is also working with other firms to
interest them in being a sub -zone. Lynne Kittelson, 305
North 9th Street, spoke in support of funding the Customs
Office for 1996, commenting that economic development is
necessary to meet the goals in the Vision 2010 Plan. George
Pechtel, citizen, stated he has read the documents regarding
cash flow and remembers the discussion when this was being
formulated that it may take years for this to become viable.
1/ He requested Council fund this for the year and allow him
time to come back with a proposal to help market the FTZ.
Council Member Klingele commented that concepts and potential
are not enough and 'compared this venture to speculative
investing. The question was called for a vote on the motion.
The motion failed by 4 -3 roll call vote; Barnett, Berger,
Klingele, and Puccinelli voting nay. Mr. Pechtel approached
the Council to ask if they would reconsider this issue if he
3
4 " MARCH 19, 1996
brings back a viable proposal within the 120 day contract
termination window. Council Member Puccinelli stated he
would keep an open mind about this issue.

vote on the motion. The motion carried by unanimous roll
