AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council April 26, 2022
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Workshop
Meeting: 5/9/22
FROM: Zach Ratkai, Director
Administrative & Community Services
SUBJECT: Mid-Columbia Libraries Update
I. REFERENCE(S):
Powerpoint Presentation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
To Be Determined
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On June 7, 2010, the City of Pasco entered into an Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement (ILA) with Mid-Columbia Libraries (MCL) to provide library locations
and services to the community. The term of the this current agreement
commenced on January 1, 2011, and expired on December 31, 2020. On
October 5, 2020, this agreement was extended one additional year and expired
on December 31, 2021.Contained within the ILA are stipulations on conditions
of service, provision of library materials and staff to serve the community, as well
as locations from which the library will be based. The primary location (Main
Branch) is at 120 West Hopkins Street. This facility is city owned, with MCL
operating the use as a library branch, with the City in charge of maintenance,
operations of the facility, and capital improvements. In 2008, the MCL
contributed to the capital improvements of the facility consisting of the installation
of carpet and chair rails, along with painting. For this facility, there is a shared
usage clause wherein the City may use the library for common meeting space
as needed, schedule permitting.
Then a six-month extension, approved in November 2021, extended the
interlocal agreement to June 30, 2022. The six-month extension allowed the City
Page 3 of 71
and MCL to strategically plan future facility locations in relation to short and
medium-term capital facility plans. This extension allowed sufficient time for each
party to examine the tenets of the original agreement, determine a collective
future based upon current trends, explore the potential for expanded and shared
facilities, and expansion of services.
The extension also included the MCL agreeing to rent, staff, and maintain a
branch in the western portion of the City, a location currently found at 7525
Wrigley Drive and has been in operation since April of 2013. The West Pasco
Branch is not in a city-owned facility and the City has no maintenance and
operations responsibilities for the facility.
V. DISCUSSION:
Mid-Columbia Libraries and the City of Pasco are developing a collaborative
strategy to enhance service to the community. Part of this discussion has been
establishing a presence in eastern Pasco for the library, including the possibility
for MCL to be included with expansion of the Pasco Martin Luther King Center
(MLK). As well, the City is looking at additional Parks and Recreation facility
expansion in western Pasco, including a new regional park and Community
Center.
As the extension is expiring, Mid-Columbia Libraries has requested to present to
the Pasco City Council to update the Council on their services to the community,
as well as review a new funding model ahead of the negotiations on a new
agreement.

Factors to Consider
•Pasco’s contract fee (2010-2022)is based on a
modified growth formula rather than the standard:
District levy rate times assessed valuations.
•Over 11.5 years,this has caused significant funding
drift/disparity from other MCL served cities and
comparable Eastern Washington cities.
•The current fee language is unsustainable.Page 23 of 71

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On November 11, 2021, Benton Franklin Human Society (BFHS) took over the
Tri-Cities Animal Shelter including all operations for regional animal control,
shelter operations, and personnel management. This was an urgent and
emergency action initiated due to law enforcement action against the previous
contractor, which prompted their unplanned dismissal.
Since that time, BFHS has operated the Tri-Cities Animal Shelter facility in
addition to their main facility located in Kennewick.
V. DISCUSSION:
City staff, along with Benton-Franklin Humane Society leadership, will present
an update on Animal Control Authority Operations, the design of the new animal
shelter project, and other applicable matters.

Meeting: 5/9/22
FROM: Steve Worley, Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution - Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF): Beus Release of
Interest Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
Draft Resolution
Draft Agreement
Map
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Option 1: Provided the City receives the Washington State Department of
Ecology (Ecology) approval of the revised Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF)
Engineering Report, and Ecology permits Beus’ parcel to become part of the
PWRF land treatment system, the City agrees to pay Beus $258,420 for this
release of interest.
Option 2: If the City does not receive Ecology approval by March 31, 2023, for
adding Beus’ parcel to the PWRF Land Treatment System, the City will pay Beus
$350,000 for this release of interest.
These costs are covered by the 460 PWRF Fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City owns and operates the Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF). The
PWRF screens, filters, and/or stores over 900 million gallons of agricultural
process wastewater each year. The wastewater is then pumped to over 1850
acres (14 farm circles) of crop land that provides the final treatment and disposal.
Page 51 of 71
To accommodate the new Darigold plant and the desire of existing food
processors to grow their operations, the treatment capacity of the PWRF needs
to be increased, the winter storage pond capacity needs to be increased, and
the land treatment system needs to be increased. All to accommodate the
regional growth in Pasco’s agricultural processing market.
V. DISCUSSION:
During preliminary design work of the PWRF improvements, it was quickly
determined that the undeveloped west half of the City-owned 80-acre PWRF
parcel would not provide sufficient space to accommodate all improvements
needed for increased agricultural wastewater processing and winter storage.
Based on that, staff reached out to the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR),
Ephrata office, about the possibility of purchasing the two 80 -acre parcels they
owned immediately north and south of the PWRF property. See attach ed map,
Exhibit A.
The USBR was amenable to selling these parcels to the City. However, the
USBR also received interest from a local farmer in purchasing the north parcel.
With two parties interested in the same USBR parcel, USBR said they would be
required to put the parcel up for auction, something they had not done in many,
many years and weren’t quite sure how to do it. And it would take a year before
they could get to start that process.
Staff contacted the interested local farmer, Mr. Beus, to determine what it would
take to release their interest in the north USBR property so that the City could
purchase it. Over the past five months, the attached draft agreement was
developed.
While there are a couple of minor items still being worked out between attorneys,
staff wanted to share this draft with Council and answer any questions.
Staff looks forward to Council’s approval of this agreement at their May 16th
Regular meeting.

winter storage pond capacity, and increase the land treatment system to accommodate the
increased growth in Pasco’s agricultural processing market; and
WHEREAS, the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) Parcel No. 113090058 is
uniquely located adjacent to the north side of the City’s PWRF property and provides the

WHEREAS, Farm, desires to expand their existing farming operation by establishing new
farm circles on Beus’ 160-acre property, Parcel No. 124690059, using PWRF treated water to
