Current Facility

Findings and Recommendation

  • It is our finding that the current facility is wholly inadequate for

the operation of the WRPD

  • We also find that both the building and grounds are lacking to

such an extent that a remodel will not provide sufficient improvement

  • Therefore we find that it is the best interest of the citizens of

West Richland, as well as the WRPD, that a new facility be built and recommend that action be taken accordingly
