REFERENCE(S): Draft Downtown Pasco Master Plan II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Jeff Arango, with Framework Consulting, will present the draft Downtown Master Plan III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The Community and Economic Development Department along with Framework Consulting are developing a Downtown Master Plan for Pasco. This is the first master planning effort initiated for the downtown. City staff and consulting team have engaged with and heard from hundreds of stakeholders, community members, businesses and other interested in the development of the downtown over the past several months. There has been a significant amount of planning and analysis performed to date, and a Draft Downtown Pasco Master Plan is now ready for the community to review. In short, the Downtown Pasco Master Plan celebrates Pasco's many assets, establishes a shared vision and goals, and identifies opportunities to enhance the Downtown through a deliberate series of strategies and actions by the City, community, and interested stakeholders. The plan is one of several related efforts led by the City of Pasco to improve Downtown and reflects Downtown’s high priority within the community. It addresses many of the ingredients needed for a successful Downtown including the design and management of streets and public spaces, enhancing public safety, diversifying the businesses and activities Downtown, maintaining quality downtown management, and supporting private sector investment. The strategies and actions are specific to the conditions in Page 4 of 492 Downtown Pasco and the desires of the community were expressed during engagement activities. The effort to improve Downtown begins with the eventual adoption of the plan and adhering to the implementation plan and monitoring. While the plan was developed and led through the City of Pasco the implementation of the plan will require close collaboration between the City and community partners to achieve success. V. DISCUSSION: Presentation from Jeff Arango, of Framework Consulting, and City staff has been prepared for Council. Following the release of the Draft Master Plan, a series of public engagement and promotional material will be prepared to alert community members and businesses of the master plan effort.

REFERENCE(S): Resolution Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan Presentation II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Matt Fontaine, PE, Associate Engineer with Herrera Environmental Consultants, will present the 2022 Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan III. FISCAL IMPACT: No Impact IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Pasco is a Phase II Eastern Washington Municipal Stormwater Permittee with the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE). Pasco’s current National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Stormwater Permit runs from August 1, 2019, through July 31, 2024. Per the requirements set forth in Section S5. Stormwater Management Program for Cities, Towns and Counties of the Permit, Pasco is required to develop and adopt both a Stormwater Management Program (SWMP) and a Stormwater Management Program Plan (Plan) that details all aspects of the City’s SWMP. The Plan was included in the 2023-2028 Capital Improvements Plan and funding for the Plan was included in the Capital Projects Budget for the year 2023. Following a consultant selection process, Council awarded the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) to Herrera Environmental Consultants Inc. on Page 179 of 492 November 17, 2021. Herrera completed the Plan and staff has reviewed the findings, conclusions, and recommendations. V. DISCUSSION: Key components documented in the completed Plan include: Public Education and Outreach; Public Involvement and Participation; Illicit Discharge Detection and Control; RunoffStormwaterPostConstructionElimination; Site - Construction Stormwater Management for New Development and Redevelopment; and Municipal Operations and Maintenance. Additionally, the Plan evaluates the effect of the City’s current stormwater utility structure, land use regulations and policies, and existing infrastructure maintenance with regard to risk management, environmental stewardship, and regulatory compliance. The Plan sets near and long-term planning goals and prioritizes a list of needed capital improvement projects to correct existing deficiencies within the system and to construct future stormwater mitigation infrastructure. Finally, the Plan examines the City’s effort to retrofit existing stormwater infrastructure currently discharging directly to the Columbia River, with the ultimate goal of eliminating all surface water discharges. Staff recommends provide feedback on the draft plan, after which staff will bring back for consideration by Council for adoption.

INTRODUCTION Stormwater runoff can be a source of pollutants to surface water and groundwater, can cause erosion and flooding, and can result in damage to property. Therefore, managing stormwater is an important aspect of city government. While, historically, stormwater management was primarily relegated to management of underground pipes and conveyance networks to enhance draining and reduce flooding, it is now recognized that stormwater plays many roles. It is a source of pollutants, but it is also an important resource critical to maintaining streamflows and recharge of groundwater. As a consequence, stormwater management at a city level has become more complex and includes many components, such as maintaining the system of pipes, catch basins, and treatment devices; offering programs to educate residents and businesses about reducing pollutants; creating ways to remove pollutants; and conducting a broad range of maintenance activities. Stormwater is recognized as a critical source of pollutants by the federal government and is regulated by federal law through the Clean Water Act. The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) is the program that addresses water pollution via discharge of pollutants from sources such as stormwater. In Washington State, the NPDES program is administered by the State Department of Ecology (Ecology) through authorization from the US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA). The City of Pasco’s (City) stormwater program is regulated via Ecology’s Phase II Eastern Washington Municipal Stormwater Permit (NPDES permit). That NPDES permit includes extensive requirements related to stormwater program management, system design requirements, operations and maintenance (O&M), and more. Section 5 of this Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan details the specific requirements of the NPDES permit and their impact on development of this plan. One of the purposes of this plan is to lay out a program that meets the City’s needs, including those driven by the NPDES permit. Due to the city’s low annual rainfall, warm climate, flat topography, and fast-draining soils, most of the stormwater generated in the city infiltrates the ground either through natural processes or manmade structures, such as dry wells and infiltration trenches. The result is that flooding, erosion, and slope failures that are often associated with high volumes of stormwater runoff are not as critical in Pasco as they may be in other areas of Washington. However, stormwater quality remains an important issue because water quality concerns are driven by population and land use (e.g., commercial and industrial businesses). The city’s reliance on infiltration of stormwater means that underlying groundwater is more vulnerable to contamination, especially because of the area’s fast-draining soils. Since Pasco’s drinking water is supplied by groundwater, the City needs to protect groundwater quality while maintaining groundwater recharge processes. The semi-arid climate also means that stormwater should be viewed as an important resource to protect and conserve. This comprehensive plan for managing stormwater reflects the unique features of Pasco’s environment. This plan was first developed in 2016, this document provides an update to that plan. Page 195 of 492 July 2022 2 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 1.1. PURPOSE OF THIS PLAN The purpose of this plan is to guide the City’s stormwater management program in a manner consistent with current regulatory requirements, while also identifying highest priority stormwater problems and solutions, and developing a timeline for implementation of both the regulatory requirements and the stormwater solutions. The plan also identifies the resources financial, staffing, and equipment) needed for implementation that is consistent with the revenue generated by the City’s stormwater management utility. The following describes the content of each section of the plan with a summary of the extent of the updates made between the previous (2016) plan and this version: Section 1: Establishes the purpose of the plan and stormwater management goals for the City. There have been minor refinements of the goals as part of this update. Sections 2 and 3: Provides background information on the Pasco area, the existing stormwater system, and the existing stormwater management program. There have been minor updates to much of the tabular data and some of the figures to reflect the new city limits and more recent data on topics such as land use and impervious area. Section 4: Describes proposed solutions to high priority stormwater issues. This section has been entirely revised from the 2016 plan to reflect the newly identified stormwater problems and solutions. Section 5: Identifies minimum actions necessary to ensure compliance with applicable federal, state, and local requirements, especially the City’s NPDES permit. This section has been entirely revised from the 2016 plan to reflect the revisions to the NPDES permit that have occurred since 2016 as well as to reflect changes in staffing and operations at the City. Section 6: Provides a plan for implementation that identifies resource needs and focuses on efficient use of limited resources. This edition of the plan does not include an assessment of the current utility rate but reflects a balance of revenue and resource needs. Stormwater management involves maintaining and replacing stormwater infrastructure and building new stormwater facilities to meet development needs and to replace infrastructure that has come to the end of its service life. Stormwater management is a continually evolving field, driven by changes in state and federal stormwater regulations as well as by changes in science and technology. This means it can be technically and financially challenging to accommodate program needs while balancing utility ratepayer costs. This plan will need to be updated periodically to reflect the changing landscape of stormwater management and issues specific to the City of Pasco. Page 196 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 3 1.2. PROGRAM GOALS AND POLICIES Goals and policies were developed to guide the development of this plan that are consistent with the City’s goals. They support actions that will ensure stormwater is managed efficiently, protect the quality and quantity of water resources, and protect groundwater, which is the city’s drinking water source. The stormwater goals in this section were developed to clarify and document the City’s priorities related to stormwater management. 1.2.1. General Stormwater Management Program Goals G1. Meet the minimum regulatory requirements of the Eastern Washington Phase II NPDES Municipal Stormwater Permit while protecting local natural resources. G2. Continue to support regional efforts to address stormwater management. G3. Continue to be cost effective. Meet at least the minimum requirements of the NPDES permit, meet the needs of the public, and be strategic about addressing long-term operational deficiencies. G4. Proactively maintain, repair, rehabilitate, and replace aging City stormwater facilities and minimize the need for costly and disruptive emergency repairs. Be strategic to the extent possible and plan repairs around other City projects (e.g., roadwork). G5. Continue to provide public education (including to outreach to businesses) on stormwater and water resource issues and support for the City’s stormwater management program. G6. Ensure that new development, redevelopment, and City projects are in conformance with the City’s adopted stormwater requirements and flow control goals. G7. Coordinate with other City departments throughout the stormwater plan review, permitting, and project approval process to ensure that the process results in a functional stormwater system. G8. Oversee construction and maintenance of privately owned stormwater facilities to ensure that they function as designed to protect private property, public property, and the environment. G9. Develop written protocols, where needed, to demonstrate compliance with NPDES permit requirements. G10. Revise this Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan every 6 years, or sooner if needed, to ensure that it provides for effective long-term stormwater project planning, system maintenance, response to mandates, and program funding. Page 197 of 492 July 2022 4 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 1.2.2. Flow Control Goals FC1. Develop new drainage projects to address flooding problems when such problems cannot be addressed through maintenance of the existing infrastructure. FC2. Continue to encourage and allow the use of infiltration facilities for flow control for new development and redevelopment in accordance with current regulations, and where feasible. 1.2.3. Water Quality Goals WQ1. When practicable, add or improve water quality treatment whenever constructing new stormwater facilities or conducting maintenance, repair, rehabilitation, or replacement of aging City stormwater facilities. WQ2. Protect groundwater resources by regulating land use activities, such as requiring a higher level of stormwater treatment within wellhead protection areas, and encouraging practices that minimize impacts to groundwater. Develop guidance and public outreach materials for use of chemicals (pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers) near infiltration facilities. 1.2.4. Funding Goals F1. Implement a stormwater program that balances resource, staffing and project needs with the revenue generated by the utility and with the staffing resources available. F2. Control costs through proactively identifying stormwater problems to reduce the need for emergency response. F3. Maintain low stormwater utility rates while ensuring that the fees collected adequately cover the costs of implementing stormwater program needs. 1.3. STORMWATER PLAN DEVELOPMENT Significant research was conducted to provide a foundation for development of this plan. The 2016 plan and capital improvement plan (CIP) list was reviewed to determine what has been completed. Geographic information system (GIS) data were acquired from city, county, state, and national datasets. This included information on the existing storm drainage system infrastructure, which was derived mostly from GIS data provided by the City. Questionnaires, multiple workshops with City staff, camera logs of pipelines, a web-based stormwater problems map, and field surveys were used to supplement this information. Page 198 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 5 The first workshop for development of this plan occurred on December 17, 2021. A questionnaire was distributed in advance of the first workshop to gather staff input and perspectives on a consistent set of questions. The completed questionnaires were used to facilitate the workshop discussion of NPDES permit requirements, staffing needs, funding needs, and other issues of concern to City staff. A comparison table of NPDES permit requirements and the City’s current program was developed and used with the completed questionnaires to develop Section 5 of this plan. Appendices A and B provide a complete list of permit requirements, current activities, and recommended activities, as well as a copy of the questionnaire. In preparation for the second workshop on January 19, 2022, a web-based stormwater problems map was recreated from the 2016 planning effort, and City staff and the consultant team began the process of populating the map with information on known problems and problem locations. During the second workshop, the team reviewed the stormwater problems map and discussed each project in further detail in preparation for project prioritization. Project prioritization criteria were developed and discussed alongside field visit logistics during the third workshop on February 14, 2022. Each project was ranked high, medium, or low based on a quantitative analysis. Project prioritization criteria included flooding frequency and severity, maintenance level of effort, pipe defects, and other factors. A field review of key problem areas was conducted with City staff on March 11, 2022. During this field assessment, detail was collected on specific sites. Photos and observations from the field review and assessment were used to finalize the project rankings. The highest ranked projects were developed to a concept-level design with associated planning-level cost estimates and the information was used to create project summary sheets, which are included as Appendix C. Simultaneous to the development of this plan, City staff identified one additional CIP project, the Schlagel Park Stormwater Main Replacement project. This has been included as a high priority project to be completed within the next few years; however, there are currently no design details and therefore no project summary sheet for this project. A number of the projects identified address infiltration improvement needs and did not rank high as individual projects. However, an annual program to address infiltration improvements has been included for budget planning purposes, and many of these projects have been identified as priorities in that program. Similarly, there are numerous areas within the city where stormwater conveyance pipes need to be replaced or relined. A Stormwater Pipe Lining Project Phases 1 and 2] has also been included in the CIP list and implementation schedule in this plan.

STUDY AREA CHARACTERISTICS Pasco is located in south-central Washington on the Columbia River, near the confluence of the Columbia and Snake Rivers. The area spanned by the city is approximately 37 square miles. Pasco’s population was over 78,000 as of 2021. It is the county seat for Franklin County. Together with the cities of Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland, Pasco forms the Quad-Cities” area of Eastern Washington. The Quad-Cities are the fourth largest metro area in the state. It is an area that has been growing fast; for example, the population in Pasco is expected to increase to 121,828 by year 2038 (Pasco 2018). The Quad-Cities area lies within what is known as the Central Basin region of Washington State. This region is composed of the Columbia River Basin and adjacent low-elevation areas of central Washington. Because of its location, Pasco enjoys a mild climate, has a long growing season, and boasts 300 days of sunshine each year. Annual precipitation is very low; annual rainfall is estimated at 6.5 inches and snowfall at 2.75 inches. Pasco is at a low elevation, and there is little topographic variation. Because of the arid climate and relatively flat topography, other than the Columbia and Snake Rivers, there are no other natural surface waters within or near the city limits. The dry conditions, in combination with the wind, mean that windblown debris is a common problem that affects stormwater quality as well as facility maintenance needs. The Pasco city limits and the Urban Growth Area (UGA) boundaries are shown in Figure 2-1. Since the 2016 plan, there has been over 400 acres of incorporated area that have been annexed, resulting in an expansion of the northwest and northeast city boundaries. The main distinction between the city boundaries and the UGA is that the UGA includes a few pockets of inholdings owned by Franklin County, which results in the UGA being larger than the city. Collectively, these inholdings represent approximately 12 square miles. The UGA has a total area of approximately 50 square miles, and the city covers approximately 38 square miles. Both the city and UGA boundaries extend to the center of the Columbia River and, as a result, both include several square miles of the river. For the purposes of this plan, only the land area will be considered because, from a stormwater management perspective, only the surfaces that generate runoff are relevant. Also, this plan considers only land within the Pasco city limits because the NPDES permit covers the city but not the UGA. The land area within the city limits is approximately 34 square miles. For the purpose of stormwater planning, Pasco is divided into six basins. Basins 1 through 5 are delineated by hydrologic boundaries of the stormwater conveyance system and represent the older part of the city. Basin 6 represents all of the area outside of Basins 1 through 5. Basin 6 is the largest of the six basins, representing nearly 84 percent of the area within the city limits Figure 2-2). The Port of Pasco’s industrial area is within the city limit, but is not included in basin boundaries or stormwater planning because the Port is responsible for its own stormwater management. Table 2-1 lists the areas and percent impervious of each of the six basins.

The following sections describe the environmental setting of the city, and the natural resources intended to be protected or improved by implementation of this plan. 2.1. ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING (TOPOGRAPHY, GEOLOGY, AND SOILS) Topography in Pasco is predominately flat. The eastern side of the city is almost entirely flat, with only very small, topographic variations. To the west of the airport is a small ridge, running north to south, that rises to a plateau situated about 100 feet in elevation above the city and slopes gently to the southeast. Most of the land area within the city drains toward the Columbia River, though a small portion of the eastern edge drains toward the Snake River. The ancient and recent geology of the region define both the topography and the soil drainage properties that affect stormwater planning. Pasco is located on what is referred to as the Columbia Plateau. The Columbia Plateau is composed of continental flood basalts that erupted between about 16.7 and 5.5 million years ago (USGS 2016). The basalt flows near Pasco are particularly thick and are estimated to have a depth of approximately 15,000 feet (Kahle et al. 2009). These basalt plains were further modified during the Pleistocene epoch by catastrophic outburst floods, such as the Missoula floods, which translocated huge quantities of glacial and fluvial sediments (Kahle et al. 2009). More recently, windblown inputs of sand and finer sediments blanketed the landscape and compose the parent material of most of the soils found throughout the city (NRCS 2016). Soil drainage properties are important for stormwater planning because, to a large extent, they determine whether rainwater will run off the land as overland flow or infiltrate down through the soil profile. Coarser (e.g., sandy textured soils) will allow water to infiltrate faster than finer textured soils (e.g., silty or clayey soils). Most of the soils within the city are sandy in texture ( psamments, loamy sands, or sandy loam) and are described as being excessively drained ( NRCS 2016). The entire city and UGA are listed as Hydrologic Soil Group A, which has high Page 204 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 11 drainage/infiltration capacity (NRCS 2016). However, there are isolated, small areas within Pasco where the soils do not infiltrate, even though they have the appearance of sand. For example, in one geotechnical investigation, several test pits were dug along the Oregon Avenue/395 corridor and the saturated hydraulic conductivity was tested. Despite soil textures that would hypothetically drain very rapidly, the measured saturated conductivity of the samples ranged from 0.003 inches/hour for silty sand and 24.36 inches/hour for poorly graded sand (CH2M Hill 2014). In another investigation, the infiltration rate was measured for three test borings approximately 8 feet below the ground surface. Infiltration rate was 12.5 and 20 inches/hour for two of the three borings, but the third had a rate of 0 inches/hour; even though it was described as a medium grain soil similar to the one with a 20 inch/hour rate (PBS 2014). These two studies document that there are areas where infiltration may be infeasible despite the appearance of the coarsely textured soils. The overall extent or location of these poor infiltration areas is unknown. The fact that these soils exist only in small pockets of the city can be somewhat problematic because area residents and the development community are accustomed to assuming that infiltration capacity will be high. 2.2. LAND USE/LAND COVER Land use is important for stormwater planning because it is linked with the percentage of impervious surface that, in combination with soil drainage properties, determines the amount of stormwater runoff generated by a parcel. Land use categories were mapped from City parcel data. The parcel data contained 16 land use categories. For the purposes of this planning effort, these categories were combined to create 4 general categories that include commercial/industrial, residential, mixed use, and other. Table 2-2 describes each of the 16 land use categories and the percentage of land area within the city attributed to each category. The table also provides a crosswalk to the general category that has each land use category has been assigned to. The results are displayed in Figure 2-3. Table 2-3 provides a summary of the current land use by each of the 4 general categories in the city by basin. The city is primarily composed of residential (46 percent) and commercial/industrial (38 percent) lands. The rest of the city is composed of other (14 percent) and mixed use (3 percent) land uses. Recognizing land use patterns at the city-scale is also important for identifying how land use has changed over time and will change in the future. For this purpose, the city can be described as two distinct areas. Basins 1 through 5, which comprise a small percentage of the total city area approximately 17 percent) represent the older, more established areas of the city. Basin 6, which represents the vast majority of land area in the city (approximately 83 percent) is the area where most of the recent growth has occurred and is occurring.

July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 15 Land use in Basin 6 is predominately a mixture of residential and commercial/industrial. Residential development represents the largest land use (approximately 46 percent) and is concentrated on the western half of the basin (Figure 2-3). The commercial/industrial areas, which represent approximately 37 percent of the land area within Basin 6 are primarily located along the northeastern fringes of the city (Figure 2-3). Similar to Basin 6, Basins 1 through 5 are primarily composed of residential (between 33 and 56 percent) and commercial/industrial (between 24 and 55 percent) (Table 2-3). In general, commercial/industrial development occurs along the major transportation corridors in the older parts of the city. Based on current zoning regulations, it would be expected that development would consist of continued commercial/industrial development, predominately retail, along the I-182 corridor (Figure 2-4). While comparing the percentage of each land use type among the basins is useful for evaluating development patterns, the total area of each land use type is also important. For example, based solely on percentage comparisons, it would appear that managing runoff from commercial/industrial land uses, which have comparatively high pollutant generation rates, is less of an issue in Basin 6 (37 percent commercial/industrial) than in Basin 2 (55 percent commercial/industrial). However, Basin 6 has more than 10 times the area of commercial/industrial land uses (Table 2-3), and there are much larger uninterrupted commercial/industrial areas in Basin 6 than in any of the other basins (Figure 2-3). Total impervious surface coverage is an important consideration for stormwater management and basin planning since it directly affects how much precipitation leaves the land and becomes stormwater runoff. Impervious surface coverage is mapped on Figure 2-5. Impervious surface area and percentage for each basin is listed in Table 2-1. Approximately 35 percent of the city is impervious surface as illustrated in Figure 2-5; however, this estimate is biased by the much larger area and less dense development in Basin 6. For the older parts of the city (Basins 1 through 5), the impervious surface coverage ranges from 45 to 55 percent. With continued urban and suburban expansion into Basin 6, the percentage of impervious surface coverage can be expected to increase.

WATER RESOURCES Pasco is situated at the confluence of the Snake and Colombia Rivers. Both the Snake and Columbia Rivers are large river systems that drain tens of thousands of square miles. The Columbia is the sixth largest river system in the United States as measured by drainage area and has a drainage area of approximately 258,000 square miles. The Snake River is the tenth largest, with a drainage area of 108,000 square miles (Kammerer 1990). Neither the Columbia River nor the Snake River adjacent to Pasco are free-flowing. McNary Dam, about 34 miles downstream of Pasco, creates Lake Wallula, which extends 64 miles upstream on the Columbia River to Hanford, and up the Snake River to Ice Harbor Lock and Dam (USACE 2016). Since the city limits extend out into the rivers, both rivers are considered part of the city and addressed in the City’s Shoreline Management Plan (Anchor QEA 2014). There is also one stream shown on Figure 2-1 is associated with the Esquatzel Coulee. This stream was at one time included in the City’s shoreline jurisdiction but was removed since there are few or no water-related uses of the stream and because the data suggest little water exists in the stream (Anchor QEA 2014). This stream gradually ‘sinks into the ground’ and does not discharge to any downstream waterbodies (Anchor QEA 2014). Figure 2-1 also shows a small stream in the southwest corner of the city, which is actually a ditch created by the US Army Corps of Engineers. The ditch occasionally collects stormwater but never discharges to the river ( Dave McDonald, pers. comm. with T. Reed-Jennings). The most notable water feature within the interior of the city is the Franklin County Irrigation District Canal, which runs west to east through most of the city. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), in coordination with the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology), implements and oversees monitoring programs to ensure that waters meet state and federal water quality standards. The purpose of these standards is to comply with the Clean Water Act, ensuring that water is safe for human contact and healthy for fish and wildlife. Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires that waters failing to meet these standards are placed on the list of “impaired” waters, often referred to as the “303(d) list.” As of the most recent proposed list (2018), there are a number of listings associated with the Columbia River near Pasco. That reach of the river has documented exceedances of temperature standards and is, therefore, listed as Category 5 for temperature. Category 5 means that a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) or other type of cleanup plan is required. The US EPA is leading the effort to develop a temperature TMDL for that reach. The reach is also listed as Category 4a for total dissolved gas and dioxins, and Category 2 for pH. Category 4a means there is a documented problem, but a cleanup plan is already in place. Category 2 are for waterbodies of concern. Waterbodies in this category have a potential water quality problem, but there is not enough evidence to show consistent impairment and therefore, no cleanup plan is needed. Page 212 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 19 The Snake River near the Pasco area has these same water quality concerns and Category 4 and 5 listings. The Snake River reach was also recently included on the 303(d) list due to total dissolved gas and dioxin. Since there is now a cleanup plan in place to address these problems, the reach is now Category 4a for these constituents. The Snake River also has a Category 2 for dissolved oxygen. None of these listings are expected to be strongly related to stormwater, and neither the Columbia nor Snake River are included in Appendix 2 of the existing NPDES permit, which lists TMDLs covered by the permit and describes additional actions permittees must take to be in compliance with the permit. Major changes in the state water quality standards since the 2016 plan include new human health criteria for toxic substances adopted in 2016 and new water contact recreation bacteria criteria (E. coli for fresh water) adopted in 2019. Human health criteria now include assessment of tissue exposure concentrations (TECs) for fish and shellfish harvesting and drinking water exposure concentrations (DWECs) for drinking water. These changes to the state water quality standards are not expected to impact stormwater management planning in Pasco until or unless a local waterbody is included in the 303(d) list for TECs or DWECs or E. coli and a TMDL or cleanup plan is developed. Because the City relies heavily on underground injection controls (UICs) for stormwater treatment, and there are a number of wells throughout Pasco, groundwater is another important water resource. Groundwater resources will be discussed further in the Critical Areas and Species section of this document. 2.4. CRITICAL AREAS AND SPECIES Critical areas are designated to protect natural resources and prevent harm to the community from natural hazards. Natural resources typically refer to streams, wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, and critical aquifer recharge areas (CARAs) and wellhead protection areas (WHPAs). Generally, natural hazards refer to geologically hazardous areas (e.g., steep slopes) and areas at risk for flooding. Specific definitions of critical areas criteria are documented in Franklin County’s 2009 Critical Areas Ordinance (Franklin County Code of Ordinances Title 18, Chapter 3). The critical areas ordinance protects wide-ranging resources for a variety of purposes. The following sections describe the natural resources (groundwater, wetlands, and habitat) protected by the ordinance and the natural hazard areas that have been identified in the city of Pasco to protect the public from harm. Page 213 of 492 July 2022 20 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 2.4.1. Groundwater Resources Groundwater resources are an important consideration for stormwater planning efforts since many stormwater management strategies that rely upon infiltration or underground injection have the potential to influence groundwater quality. Although Pasco’s domestic drinking water is supplied by the Columbia River (Pasco 2014), there are 35 Group A or B wells, most of them located in Basin 1 (Figure 2-6). Group A wells are large systems that have at least 14 connections. Group B water systems are smaller and have between 1 and 14 connections. Both Group A and B systems are regulated by Washington State Department of Health and, as such, have designated wellhead protection areas (WHPAs), which are shown on Figure 2-6. WHPAs are designated based on the estimated time it would take a spilled contaminant to travel through the substrate and reach the drinking water source. The majority of the WHPAs within Pasco are designated as “assigned,” which means that there is insufficient hydrologic data to accurately delineate travel-time boundaries. There are two large WHPAs that contact the western and northern boundaries of Basin 1 that are delineated based on a travel time of 10 years. Overall, 32 percent of the city lies within some form of WHPA. The vast majority of the area within WHPAs lies within Basin 6, the newer, less developed part of the city (Figure 2-6). Similarly, a large portion of the city is designated as a Critical Aquifer Recharge Area (CARA). The City of Pasco critical areas ordinance defines CARAs as areas within 100 feet of irrigation district canals, or irrigated land that is designated as hydrologic soil group A. Because nearly all of the city is designated hydrologic soil group A, virtually any irrigated land is considered a CARA. CARAs are also mapped on Figure 2-6. (The wells, WHPA, and CARA data were collected as part of the 2016 plan and were not updated as part of this effort since it is expected that no substantive changes have occurred since that time.)

Groundwater and Critical Areas WithintheCityofPasco. Page 215 of 492 July 2022 22 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 2.4.2. Wetlands, Riparian Buffers, and Habitat In total, there are approximately 172 acres of wetlands within the city limits. With the exception of several small ponds scattered throughout the city, most of the wetland area is limited to the southeast corner of Basin 6, on the peninsula that separates the Snake and Columbia Rivers. In this area, there are approximately 80 acres of emergent wetland, and about 50 acres of forested shrub wetland. All wetlands including freshwater lakes and ponds are shown on Figure 2-6. (The wetland, lake, and pond data were collected as part of the 2016 plan and were not updated as part of this effort since it is unlikely to change.) Pasco’s shoreline master program includes 14 .4 miles of the Columbia River. The reach has been divided into 18 subreaches, each of which has its own environmental designation and respective development standards, including standards for riparian buffers. Most of the river has a required riparian buffer of 50 feet. Similarly, Pasco has 2.8 miles of frontage along the Snake River, which is divided into two subreaches; one is designated as urban conservancy and the other high-intensity industrial, with required riparian buffers of 75 and 50 feet, respectively. The Columbia and Snake Rivers provide migratory and rearing habitat for Chinook, coho, and sockeye salmon, bull and steelhead trout, Pacific and river lamprey, and white sturgeon. All of these are priority fish species, and a few are listed as candidate species under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Both rivers also provide important waterfowl concentration areas and a known occurrence of American white pelican, an endangered species. Within the upland portion of Pasco are several mapped areas of burrowing owl occurrence, a candidate species for listing under the ESA. There is also mapped shrub-steppe area, which is a priority habitat for protection. 2.4.3. Geologic and Flood Hazard Areas Natural hazards are defined in the City’s critical areas ordinance. The most pertinent natural hazards affecting stormwater planning and development potential are landslide hazard and flooding. Landslide hazard areas are generally defined as areas with slopes greater than 15 percent. (A more complete definition of landslide hazard areas is described in the critical areas ordinance.) Hillslope was calculated and mapped for the city using 2005 LiDAR data with a pixel resolution of 6 feet (Figure 2-7). As shown in Figure 2-7, there are scattered, small areas in Pasco where there may be some hillslope hazard based on LiDAR interpretation. Less than 1 percent of the city is mapped as having slopes greater than 15 percent (Table 2-4). Therefore, hillslope hazard does not play a significant role in future development or stormwater planning. Page 216 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 23 Table 2-4. Critical and Hazardous Areas Within Pasco City Limits. Basin Wetlands Wellhead Protection Areas Hillslope Hazard Area (> 15 percent) FEMA Zone A/AE ( 100-year flood) FEMA Zone X500 ( 500-year flood) Acres Percent Acres Percent Acres Percent Acres Percent Acres Percent 1 5.3 < 1 0 0 0.0 0.00 45.0 4 0.0 0.0 2 0.9 < 1 98 11 5.4 0.62 91.3 11 0.0 0.0 3 0.0 0 46 25 0.0 0.00 16.0 9 0.0 0.0 4 10.0 1 19 2 6.3 0.54 40.3 4 0.0 0.0 5 0.0 0 0 0 0.0 0.00 5.2 2 0.0 0.0 6 155.4 1 6,621 38 166.8 0.96 1,025.3 6 18.1 < 1 Total 172 1 6,785 32 178 0.84 1,223.2 6 18.1 < 1 Flood hazard areas were delineated based on the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s FEMA) 100-year flood maps (Figure 2-7). More than 94 percent of the land area of the city is area outside of the 500-year floodplain (Table 2-4). Virtually all of the remaining land area 6 percent) is mapped as being within the 100-year floodplain (flood zone A), meaning that in any given year this land has a 1 percent chance of flooding. Most of the area mapped area within zone A is located along the margins of the Columbia and Snake Rivers and adjacent wetlands. The FEMA maps also include part of the Esquatzel Coulee in the 100-year floodplain; reportedly there may have been flash floods in the coulee many years ago, before transition of this area to agricultural land. As described previously, the small amount of water that may collect in the coulee goes underground well north of the airport and therefore well outside the city limits. Only a very small portion of land (less than 1 percent) is listed as being in FEMA flood Zone X500, which corresponds to areas within the 500-year floodplain. Therefore, there is little concern for flooding in the city, this is especially true since both the Snake and Columbia Rivers are controlled by dams. (The geologic and flood hazard assessment data were collected as part of the 2016 plan and were not updated as part of this effort since it is unlikely to change.)

Flood and Steep Slope HazardsWithintheCityofPasco. Page 218 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 25 2.5. FUTURE CONDITIONS 2.5.1. Population Growth Pasco’s population was 69,000 in 2015 and is now over 78,000 as of 2021; this represents a 13 percent increase in population over a 5-year period. Together with the cities of Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland, Pasco forms the “Quad-Cities” area of Eastern Washington. The Quad-Cities are the fourth largest metro area in the state. It is an area that has been growing fast; for example, the population in Pasco is expected to increase to 121,828 by year 2038 (Pasco 2018). State growth projections estimate that Franklin County is expected to grow by approximately 21 percent (24,778 people) between 2020 and 2025 and will continue to add approximately 25,000 to 30,000 people every 5 years through the projected timeline of 2040 (OFM 2017). Since Pasco is the only major city in Franklin County, it can be expected that the majority of the new population will settle in Pasco. 2.5.2. Climate Change The following information on climate change predictions was developed as part of the 2016 plan and was not updated as part of this effort since it is not expected to have changed substantively. Mountain snowpack is the most important influence on annual water supply for many watersheds in the Northwest. The Columbia River drains from mountainous snowmelt dominant watersheds and is characterized by a hydrograph where the peak runoff lags behind the peak period of precipitation. This lag is because much of the cool season precipitation occurs as snow and is stored until springtime temperatures rise above freezing, and there is significant snow melt throughout spring and early summer. Therefore, snowpack supplies warm season (April through September) streamflows that are important for migrating salmon and are heavily relied upon by irrigators, hydropower producers, municipalities, and other users (Dalton et al. 2013). Relatively recent climate change over the last century and anticipated future climate change related to altered atmospheric conditions and warming temperatures continues to affect the Northwest including the Columbia River and Columbia Plateau. For example, consistent with global trends, annual mean temperature in the Pacific Northwest increased by approximately 0.68 to 0.88 degrees Celsius (°C) from 1901 to 2012 (Abatzoglou et al. 2014). Warming temperatures have increased the freeze-free season or growing season by approximately 2 weeks over the last four decades (Abatzoglou et al. 2014). Indicators such as the length of the freeze-free season, annual temperature extremes, and potential evapotranspiration during the growing season are relevant linkages to climate impacts. Page 219 of 492 July 2022 26 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 Significant research on climate change predictions has been conducted by the Climate Impacts Group (CIG) at the University of Washington. The group’s research projects regional effects of global climate change using a series of global climate models and two greenhouse gas emissions scenarios. Two reports synthesize the most recent modeling results and associated impacts for the Pacific Northwest including the Columbia Plateau region (Dalton et al. 2013; Snover et al. 2013). The research provides a basis for assessing impacts of climate change in the Columbia River Basin by supplementing data with regional climate models and studies. For example, in the Methow Valley, study results project July warming of 0.8°C (±1.9°C) to 2.8°C (±4.7°C) by 2080 ( Caldwell et al. 2013). The warming rate for the Pacific Northwest over the next century is projected to be in the range of 0.1 to 0.6°C per decade (ISAB 2007). Significant consequences of a warming climate for snowmelt dominant watersheds, such as the Columbia River Basin, are a reduction in snowpack and a substantial shift in precipitation patterns, streamflow seasonality, and stream temperatures (Barnett et al. 2005; Dalton et al. 2013; Stewart et al. 2005; Elsner et al. 2010; Leppi et al. 2011; NMFS 2014). For example, hydrologic models project that by mid-century, the peak runoff from snowmelt will occur approximately 3 to 4 weeks earlier than the current average (Dalton et al. 2013). With an extended growing season, warmer and dryer summers, and pressure to address runoff earlier in the year, a number of hydrological and temperature related impacts can occur. Some general, stormwater related predictions for the Columbia River Basin for the next 50 to 80 years include the following (Dalton et al. 2013; Elsner et al. 2010; Hamlet et al. 2013): Changes in spring snowpack will result in a fundamental shift in the Columbia River Basin climate from being dominated by snowmelt to being dominated by a mix of rain and snow. Warmer temperatures leading to reduced snowpack will result in a transition from spring to winter runoff, increased winter flow, and reduced late summer flow. Future occurrences of heavy rainfall are projected to be more frequent and more intense and will exacerbate flooding in many areas, although this is most significant in basins currently characterized as mixed rain and snow with current mid-winter temperatures within a few degrees of freezing. There is a projected increase in water temperatures that could result in adverse impacts on salmon, water quality, and human use of water resources. There is a projected increase in channel migration, landslide risk, erosion, and sediment transport during wetter months, although these problems are not likely to be important in Pasco. Seasonal, year to year, and decade to decade variations will remain an important feature of local climates.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK This section provides background information on the management framework for stormwater, including a summary of the existing stormwater infrastructure and the key O&M activities associated with the system, as well as information on the regulations that govern stormwater management and a summary of related City municipal code and design standards. This section also includes information on the City’s stormwater utility and future conditions that may affect stormwater management needs. 3.1. STORMWATER INFRASTRUCTURE AND OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE The City’s stormwater infrastructure consists of a network of piped conveyances and infiltration pipe. It includes over 50 miles of stormwater conveyance and more than 30 miles of infiltration pipe, as well as other structures (e.g., catch basins, inlets, and manholes) (Table 3-1 and Figure 3-1). (Table 3-1, Figure 3-1, and the accompanying text were developed as part of the 2016 plan. The City is in the process of updating their infrastructure mapping system; thus, to avoid providing interim and likely inaccurate data, the stormwater infrastructure data tables and figures were not updated for this plan. However, it is expected that the data presented still provides an appropriate overview of the types and amount of stormwater infrastructure that the City manages.) Table 3-1.

StormwaterInfrastructureintheCityofPasco. Page 222 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 29 As described previously, the stormwater system in the city is defined by six basins (Figure 3-1). Basins 1 through 5, which represent the older parts of the city, are serviced by a conventional conveyance network that carries stormwater to outfalls that discharge to surface water; two of these outfalls discharge directly to the Columbia River. Due to the flat topography, this system is often deeply buried; the conveyance system in much of the city is over 20 feet below ground surface. In Basin 6, which represents the majority of the city, stormwater is conveyed into the ground via dry wells and infiltration systems (UICs). In these areas, catch basins are connected directly to infiltration pipe. In a few areas, short ‘mains’ collect water from a small number of catch basins and transport it to an infiltration pipe. The key O&M activities associated with upkeep of the stormwater infrastructure and reducing pollutants generated by stormwater include inspections, street sweeping, catch basin cleaning, and vegetation management. All catch basins are inspected at least once every year and Vactored when necessary. As described in the 2016 plan, street sweeping used to involve sweeping of arterials weekly and sweeping of residential streets every 1 to 2 months. Due to lack of staffing, street sweeping frequency has decreased to monthly sweeping of arterials and quarterly sweeping of residential streets. This staffing issue has also impacted the frequency that the City is able to dedicate to closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections. More information on how street sweeping is impacting existing infiltration facilities can be found in Section 4.2.1 and O&M staffing recommendations can be found in Sections 5.6 and 6.2. 3.2. APPLICABLE REGULATIONS While the NPDES permit, which is discussed at length in this plan, is the primary regulation that affects the City’s stormwater management program, a number of other local, state, and federal regulations must also be considered.

MUNICIPAL CODE AND DESIGN STANDARDS Typically, guidance for design of stormwater facilities is provided through a city’s municipal code, a stormwater design manual or design guidelines handbook, and a city-specific set of standard details or specifications. The City has adopted the Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMMEW), but it may also be necessary to revise the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) language to include additional thresholds related to sizing or locating stormwater Page 225 of 492 July 2022 32 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 facilities. Standards currently present in the PMC or in City standard details related to stormwater design include: PMC 13.80.100 Storm Water Construction Permit Required. “A storm water site plan is required for any project subject to Core Elements Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 8 per Chapter 2 of the SWMMEW. Upon approval of the storm water site plan, a storm water construction permit shall be issued upon payment of the storm water construction permit fee as provided in the City fee summary ordinance, Chapter 3.35 PMC.” PMC 16.10.050 Drainage requirements. “An impervious surface improvement shall be designed to drain, confine and/or impound storm water or site-generated water within the private property upon which the improvement is to be located. The Building Inspector shall determine the adequacy of all plans and methods for the drainage or proposed impervious surface improvements in conjunction with the most current adopted Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington.” PMC 25.175.060 Site Drainage. “All storm drainage shall be retained on site and controlled by way of drainage swales, dry-wells, French drains or other means as approved by the City Engineer.” PMC 21.35.040 Drainage Plans. “Drainage and site grading plans shall be prepared in conformance with the standard drawings and materials lists and shall be prepared by a professional civil engineer registered in the State of Washington.” Chapter 7 of the City’s Design and Construction Standards covers stormwater improvements, including the following: o Design criteria o Design storms o Hydrologic analysis o Treatment best management practice (BMP) sizing o Flow control Section 5 contains recommendations for the municipal code to address some of the deficiencies in the existing code and guidance. 3.4. STORMWATER UTILITY FUND Creating a storm and surface water utility and imposing service charges is authorized by RCW Chapter 35.67. Pursuant to that statute, the City of Pasco enacted Chapter 3.07.190 of the PMC to implement a stormwater utility charge. This charge is necessary to fund SWMP activities Page 226 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 33 and projects that are required to provide services to residents, support development, and meet regulatory requirements. The remainder of this section describes the history, purpose, and uses of the City’s stormwater utility fund. 3.4.1. History and Purpose The City of Pasco first created the Stormwater Utility Fund and set initial stormwater utility rates in May 2002 by the passage of Ordinance No. 3543. The rate structure has remained the same since establishment and includes two different classes of property: Single-family and multi-family residential parcels: o Flat rate (multi-family and apartments are charged a per unit rate) because these types of sites are similar in terms of lot size and impervious area coverage throughout the city. Thus, they generate a similar amount of runoff and pollution, which incurs a similar cost per parcel/unit for services provided. o Parcels with vacant buildings are charged the same rate as parcels with occupied buildings. o Undeveloped parcels are not charged a monthly rate. Commercial and industrial parcels: o Sliding rate that is based on the total number of parking spaces. o Additional rate based on acreage if the parcel discharges to the City’s stormwater system. o State highway right-of-way owned by the Washington Department of Transportation is charged a per-acre rate that is 25 percent of the per-acre rate for commercial parcels. In 2002, single-family residential homeowners paid a flat rate of $1.80 per month per parcel, while industrial and commercial businesses paid a rate based on the number of parking spaces ($ 1.80 to $9.00 per month) plus an additional charge of $30 per acre if their stormwater discharges to the City’s stormwater system.

State highway right-of-way (WSDOT) is charged a per acre rate that is 25 percent of the commercial/industrial rate ($0.30 per acre minimum in 2002, $0.84 per acre minimum in 2022). c Based on a rate study with the assistance of FCS in September 2017. SFR = single-family residential In January 2007 (effective February 2007), Ecology issued the NPDES permit to the City and 27 other jurisdictions (19 cities and 8 counties) in Eastern Washington. Ecology reissued the Phase II Municipal Stormwater Permit for Eastern Washington in August 2014 and August 2019. The NPDES permit outlines SWMP activities and implementation milestones that the City must follow in order to comply with federal law. All Phase II communities are expected to develop a SWMP that includes all the required activities, to implement those activities within the required time periods over the permit term, and to submit annual reports to Ecology to document progress toward complete permit compliance and program implementation. A detailed description of the major elements of NPDES permit compliance, most of which require funding from the stormwater utility, is described in Section 5. As is typical of most of the cities that are regulated by the NPDES permit, Pasco’s stormwater utility rates have been increasing as a response to the regulations and required expansion of the program. The rates were initially at $1.80 per single-family residence in 2002 and are now at 6.85 per parcel (Table 3-3). Similar increases have occurred for industrial and commercial businesses. Page 228 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 35 3.4.2. Past and Current Use of Funds Based on the revenue reported in 2011, it can be assumed that in the early years of NPDES permit implementation (2007 to 2011), the utility generated about $55,000 per year, yet expenses ranged from $105,000 to $330,000. Thus, the majority of the costs for running the program were covered by the City’s general fund. From 2012 to 2018, the utility has generated approximately $80,000 to $130,000 per year, but expenses have continued to be well above that, ranging from $100,000 to $400,000. While stormwater permit compliance has accounted for a healthy share of the fund as the City has developed its program, the majority of the stormwater budget was spent on O&M activities and stormwater system improvements. 3.4.3. Population Growth The city has experienced rapid growth over the past 15 years, more than doubling its population from 32,066 in 2000 to over 78,000 as of 2021. Population growth and expanded service areas equate to an expanded city road network, resulting in a greater demand for catch basin cleaning and street sweeping, which are key O&M activities supported by the stormwater utility. Although population growth will bring proportional increases in impervious surfaces and pollutants, all new development and redevelopment will need to meet City standards and, therefore, rely on infiltration for control of stormwater. Although impacts from development cannot be entirely eliminated, the new growth is not expected to substantively; exacerbate flooding or increase discharge of pollutants to nearby surface waters. In the sense that the large increase in infiltration facilities proportionately increases the risk of pollutants entering groundwater, groundwater resources could be at greater risk. Expanded programs for educating the public and businesses about source control and required or improved stormwater treatment in commercial and industrial areas would help to mitigate those risks. Since stormwater utility fees will be applied to new development, the additional program needs should be largely covered by the increased revenue generated. 3.4.4. Annexation Annexation of new area is another mechanism that increases the City’s stormwater management obligations, although it also comes with increased revenue from utility fees. The City has annexed more than 400 acres since 2016. The City has no current plans to annex additional areas (Michael Henao, pers. comm., December 17, 2021). 3.4.5. Climate Change As described in Section 2, there are some significant climate change predictions for the Pasco area. However, due to the dams on the Columbia River, changes in river flows and flooding will be controlled at a regional level; management of stormwater at the city level should not be Page 229 of 492 July 2022 36 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 impacted. However, predicted climate change impacts in the area may intensify the need for stormwater management practices that promote storage and preserve water quality. Water storage, infiltration of stormwater, groundwater recharge, and stormwater treatment will become increasingly important as population grows, and seasonal water supply is altered by climate change. A number of steps can be taken as part of stormwater management planning to mitigate for some of these impacts. They include: Continuing to promote onsite infiltration to control 100 percent of stormwater runoff on all sites where it is feasible. Promoting stormwater storage where feasible. Modifying conveyance and treatment sizing requirements for new and redevelopment to account for larger peak flow events. Considering retrofitting existing infiltration devices with improved water quality treatment, especially in commercial or industrial areas.

PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND PRIORITIZATION Stormwater system problems were identified, evaluated in the field, and prioritized using a custom set of criteria. This section describes the process used to prioritize projects. Stormwater system problems are described, in general, in Section 4.2 and solutions are summarized in Section 4.3. Stormwater system problems and projects were identified from two sources: past projects from the 2016 CIP projects list, and all problems identified through a survey of City staff (“staff survey”) completed in January 2022. The staff survey collected information on known current stormwater problem locations. Together, the 2016 CIP project list and the staff survey problem location list resulted in a total of 44 potential problem or project sites. Of these 44 sites, 8 were removed because they were either complete or in progress (5 sites) or duplicates (3 sites). Table 4-1 lists and categorizes the 36 remaining sites. City staff selected 24 of these 36 problem sites to retain for capital project prioritization and solution development. These 24 sites were then evaluated in the field by two Herrera engineers, accompanied by City staff, on March 11, 2022. Table 4-1. Categorization of Site-Specific Problems.

A prioritization system (Figure 4-1) was developed to evaluate and rank the 24 problem sites for potential CIP projects. These were divided into two categories: flooding infrastructure and deteriorated infrastructure. All 24 problem sites were evaluated for risk, project efficiency, maintenance level of effort, and mobility benefit. The risk definitions and other criteria are described in subsections 4.1.1 through 4.1.3. Figure 4-1 (a) shows a diagram of the prioritization process and Figure 4-1 (b) defines the prioritization criteria by project category (i.e., illustrates criteria used for flooding infrastructure projects relative to those used for deteriorated infrastructure projects). Figure 4-1 (c) compares this prioritization process to the process used by the 2016 plan. Page 232 of 492 Figure 4-1 (a). Figure 4-1 (b). Figure 4-1 (c). July 2022 42 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 The prioritization system was applied to rank the 24 sites. Sixteen sites were ranked as “medium” or “high,” and were presented to City staff for input. Of these 16 top-ranked sites, 8 were classified as Tier 1 sites and included in the current plan cycle. Project solutions were developed for each of these sites for the City to include in their current CIP list. Sites that were not selected for this current plan cycle are classified as Tier 2 if they ranked “medium” or “medium-high” in priority, or Tier 3 if they ranked “low” in priority. Table 4-1 includes Tier 1, 2, and 3 sites as well as the following problems: Problem sites designated for the City to maintain or construct, Problem sites designated as the responsibility of the developer, Problems found to be on private property, and Water quality projects from the 2016 plan. Projects from the 2016 plan that have been completed are not included in this plan. Projects that were carried over from the 2016 plan into the current plan are noted in the footnotes section of Table 4-1. 4.1.1. Risk Definition – Flooding Infrastructure Risk was defined for flooding infrastructure based on three criteria: frequency, severity, and traffic level. Frequency was defined as “high” if flooding occurred after every rain event, medium” if flooding occurred several times per year, and “low” if flooding occurred one or fewer times per year. Severity was defined as “high” if flooding occurred in the travel lane, crosswalks or curb ramps, or privately owned structures such as garages, “medium” if flooding occurred only on private property but did not impact structures, and “low” if flooding only impacted the edge of the roadway. Traffic level was defined as “high” if the average daily traffic ( ADT) count was greater than 5,000, “medium” if the ADT was between “no count data” and 5,000, and “low” if the ADT had no count data. The ADT was assessed using the Existing All Day Traffic Counts figure from the current Pasco Comprehensive Plan (Pasco 2020). Figure 4-1 (b) shows a tabulated version of these definitions. 4.1.2. Risk Definition – Deteriorating Infrastructure Risk was defined for deteriorating infrastructure based on three criteria: pipe size, pipe defects, and traffic level. Pipe size was defined as “high” if the diameter was greater than 12 inches, medium” if the pipe diameter was between 8 and 12 inches, and “low” if the pipe diameter was less than 8 inches. Pipe defects were defined as “high” if there were pipe failure or major holes, medium” if there were bellies, fractures, or offset joints, and “low” if there were only root intrusions and related holes. Traffic level was defined using the same methods developed in Section 4.1.1. Figure 4-1 (b) shows a tabulated version of these definitions. Page 236 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 43 4.1.3. Other Criteria Other criteria used to prioritize the problem sites include project efficiency, maintenance level of effort, and mobility benefit. Project efficiency reflects whether stormwater improvements at the problem site can occur with another project or not. Maintenance level of effort reflects problem sites that require more than typical effort to maintain: “high” is defined as projects requiring three Vactor truck loads per maintenance call or comparable effort for pipe maintenance, “ medium” is defined as projects requiring two Vactor truck loads per maintenance call or comparable effort for pipe maintenance, and “typical” or “low” is defined as projects requiring one Vactor truck load per maintenance call or comparable effort for pipe maintenance. Mobility benefit is defined as whether stormwater improvements can be made in conjunction with adding accessibility improvements (e.g., curb ramps) where they are missing. Figure 4-1 (b) shows a schematic version of these criteria. 4.2. PROBLEMS The primary stormwater issues faced by the City include flooding, deteriorating conveyance infrastructure, and lack of water quality treatment prior to discharge to the Columbia River. 4.2.1. Flooding Problem flooding occurs due to: Undersized facilities (given their contributing drainage area), Clogged facilities (likely due to regular transport of sediments), Poorly located facilities (i.e., not in the area’s low spot), and Absent facilities. The following is a list of Tier 1 flooding projects that were identified during this planning process and are a result of undersized, poorly located, absent, and/or clogged facilities: South Oregon Avenue North of East Ainsworth Street: The existing stormwater facilities are not located in the road’s low spot. South Oregon Avenue is coincident with SR 397, and the roadway is subject to moderate traffic. The roadway may have settled since the installation of the stormwater system. The southbound travel lane floods during rain events, presenting a hazard to relatively high-speed traffic. 214/219 North Sycamore Avenue (this corresponds to North Sycamore Avenue Infiltration Improvements in the 2016 plan): The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. Portions of the roadway flood with over 1 foot of standing water (i.e., up to adjacent lawns) several times per year. Multiple Vactor truck loads are needed to mitigate flooding during most rain events. Page 237 of 492 July 2022 44 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 127 South Hugo Street: The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. A commercial driveway contributes to the drainage area. The roadway floods during rain events and water drains down adjacent driveways into private garages multiple times per year. 1801 North Commercial Avenue: The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. The travel lanes flood during rain events, presenting a hazard to moderate traffic in this industrial area, which is frequented by heavy trucks. 6415 Burden Boulevard: The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. The intersection with Robert Wayne Drive floods, impeding the travel lane, sidewalk, and a commercial driveway, and presenting a hazard to pedestrians and vehicles in this area with heavy traffic. 600 East A Street: This low spot in the road lacks stormwater infrastructure. Roadside parking and an intersection flood during rain events, impeding travel lanes, parking, and pedestrian routes, and presenting a hazard to pedestrians and vehicles in this moderate traffic area. 4416 Sedona Drive: The existing stormwater system is undersized for the drainage area and/or has become clogged. Both travel lanes flood during large rain events, and water flows into an adjacent driveway and a private garage on this residential street. 4.2.2. Deteriorating Conveyance Infrastructure As described in Section 3, five of the six stormwater basins within Pasco are served by a traditional conveyance network of catch basins and buried pipes that collect stormwater and convey it to outfalls to the Columbia River or ditches owned by the Army Corps of Engineers. This infrastructure is on average approximately 65 years old, and therefore inspection, repair, and maintenance of the structures is an important long-term need. In 2014, the City undertook an effort to clean and inspect the storm system within Basin 2. Storm lines were jetted and inspected, using closed-circuit television (CCTV), to assess condition and identify illicit connections. Based on these inspections, it is a reasonable assumption that much of the existing stormwater system in the five basins served by a buried conveyance system need additional inspection and rehabilitation to extend the system’s useful life by addressing system damage such as holes, offset joints, fractures, bellies, root intrusion (and related holes), and erosion. In addition to physical pipe damage, accumulated debris and root penetrations were also encountered, even after the pipes were jet cleaned. In some cases, these maintenance issues resulted in major obstructions. Page 238 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 45 Multiple deteriorating pipe projects were identified during development of the 2016 plan, and an annual repair program for failing pipes was recommended. While individually these projects were classified as Tier 2 (Table 4-1), a pipe relining program has been included in the CIP budget: Stormwater Pipe Relining (Phases 1 and 2): See Table 4-4 in Section 4.3 for details. One Tier 1 deteriorating infrastructure CIP project was identified for rehabilitation during the development of this plan: West Sylvester Pipe Repair (this corresponds to the Sylvester South Pipe Repair project from the 2016 plan): Existing pipes contain holes, fractures, and heavy root and debris intrusions. This project will require replacement or repair three sections of aging and damaged pipes along and tributary to West Sylvester Street. A second Tier 1 deteriorating infrastructure CIP project was identified by the City as this plan was being finalized: Schlagel Park Stormwater Main Replacement: Project details will be developed by the City at a later date. 4.2.3. Lack of Water Quality Treatment Although stormwater in the majority of the city (all of Basin 6) is infiltrated, Basins 1 through 5 are still served by piped conveyance systems to five outfalls that directly or indirectly discharge to the Columbia River without treatment. The NPDES permit requires the City to implement water quality treatment requirements for new and redevelopment projects consistent with Appendix 1 of the permit. Since the Columbia River is a flow-control-exempt surface water, these basins will not require flow control facilities unless flow control is required by City code. The 2016 plan proposed five water quality projects. They are described in Section 4.1.3 of the 2016 plan and listed in Table 4-1. These projects have yet to be implemented and therefore have been retained for inclusion in the long-term CIP list. No modifications have been made to the 2016 project solutions during this planning effort, and no new water quality focused projects have been identified during development of this plan. 4.2.3.1. Stormwater Code Violations According to the 2021 NPDES annual report, a total of 12 stormwater code violations, including illicit discharges, were identified in the 2021 reporting period (Table 4-2). All 12 of the code violations were eliminated (Pasco 2021). The City has no known chronic non-stormwater discharges or illicit connections to the MS4 (Pasco 2021).

SOLUTIONS Site-specific problems and proposed CIP solutions for all Tier 1 projects are identified in Table 4-3. Figure 4-2 provides a map of the problem and solution locations. Summary sheets and cost estimates developed for seven of the Tier 1 2022 CIP projects are provided in Appendix C. Most problems addressed by this plan are flooding issues caused by inadequately sized, poorly located, and/or clogged infiltration facilities, or failing and/or reduced performance of aging conveyance system components. Projects from the 2016 plan that reduce water quality impacts and risks are listed in Table 4-1, but none were identified as Tier 1 projects for implementation. As described in Section 4.2, independent of this plan development effort, the City identified one additional project, Schlagel Park Stormwater Main Replacement, for inclusion as a Tier 1 project.

Page 241 of 492 July 2022 48 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 The following sections describe the types of solutions that have been developed. The solutions fall into four categories: infiltration facility improvements, conveyance infrastructure rehabilitation, water quality protection (developed in the 2016 plan), and stormwater code violations (which are being resolved as needed by the City). In conjunction with the CIP solutions in this section, the City should establish more protective design standards as discussed in Section 5. 4.3.1. Infiltration Improvements In areas that lack infiltration infrastructure, or suffer from poorly located, undersized or clogged infrastructure, it is recommended that the stormwater system be expanded or replaced to include appropriately sized infiltration facilities. As described in Section 3, updates to the City’s stormwater standards can help mitigate issues with the undersizing of future stormwater facilities. In addition, improvements to the infiltration facility design standards would mitigate future reductions in system performance from clogging. There are different approaches the City can take to addressing the issue of clogged infiltration systems. First, the City can increase the frequency of street sweeping throughout Basin 6 and areas of Basins 1 through 5 that include infiltration facilities, especially before anticipated rain events. Section 5.6 includes recommendations for programmatic changes in street sweeping and maintenance frequency. Second, the design standard for infiltration trenches can be changed. For example, installing upstream vaults or catch basins with baffles, removing the geotextile fabric from the bottom of the trench, and/or installing a presettling vault (“fat pipe”) between the catch basin and the infiltration gallery could all increase the effective longevity of infiltration systems and increase the efficacy of maintenance efforts. Finally, exploring surface infiltration options, such as the non-vegetated bioswale currently being studied by the City (as discussed in Section 5.8), may provide an easier-to-maintain infiltration option, depending on its demonstrated effectiveness. Several of the projects that include proposed infiltration trenches appear to have space in the right-of-way for a surface infiltration approach. For the majority of Tier 1 projects that were identified during this planning effort, infiltration improvements were the identified solution. In total, seven Tier 1 projects were identified that required infiltration improvements; five of these projects have been bundled together and included as part of the City’s infiltration improvement program in Section 6.4. Design concepts for these five projects are contained in the project summary sheets provided in Appendix C. One of the infiltration improvement projects is associated with a larger stormwater pond retrofit and is listed separately in Section 6.4; this project, too, has a corresponding project summary sheet in Appendix C. Finally, one of the infiltration improvement projects (i.e., S Oregon Avenue) will be designed by the City at a future date, and therefore no project summary sheet has been provided.

Conveyance Infrastructure Rehabilitation As the City’s buried stormwater conveyance system continues to age and deteriorate, it is increasingly important that the City adopt a routine program for assessing and rehabilitating damaged sections of pipe. This will include jet-cleaning and evaluating the condition of each stormwater pipe with CCTV. Stormwater pipes in Basin 2 were jet cleaned and evaluated for their condition and the information was used to inform development of CIP projects for the 2016 plan. The results of those evaluations are reflected in the West Sylvester Pipe Repair CIP project, which aims to replace or repair identified damaged pipes. This project and its solution are presented in Table 4-3. A stormwater pipe relining program to address annual repair of failing pipes in the City’s MS4 has been identified as a Tier 1 project and organized into two phases, as shown in Table 4-4. Table 4-4.

LF = linear feet 4.3.3. Water Quality Protection As part of the 2016 plan, two approaches to water quality protection were considered for those basins that outfall directly to the Columbia River. The first was to eliminate the outfalls by implementing basin-wide infiltration retrofits, and the second was to provide treatment at regional facilities located at the downstream end of the basins. Both approaches are described in Section 4.2.2 of the 2016 plan. These projects have not been implemented and are retained as potential long-term CIP projects. No other projects that would protect water quality have been identified as part as the current plan, and no modifications have been made to the water quality projects from the 2016 plan. As water quality permitting requirements continue to become more stringent, these water quality protections may become increasingly relevant to City planning in future CIPs. 4.3.3.1. Stormwater Code Compliance As described in Section 4.2.4, the City has addressed all recent stormwater code violations. The City should continue these practices of addressing emergent stormwater code violations as they arise.

STORMWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDED ACTIVITIES The current NPDES permit was effective as of August 2019. It reflected an expansion of activities and requirements from the previous NPDES permit. The City of Pasco has been adapting its program to meet the 2019–2024 NPDES permit requirements and faces staffing issues, similar to other Eastern Washington permittees. This section provides a summary of the City’s current stormwater management program and an assessment of its compliance with the NPDES permit. Generally, the City is on track for meeting the NPDES permit requirements as summarized below. The following section is organized to reflect the organization of the NPDES permit. For each topic heading (or permit section) a general summary of permit requirements is provided, along with a summary of the additional resources, such as staffing or funding, that are needed to implement the recommended activities. Where applicable, a table listing identified recommended activities for program improvement is provided. These recommended activities were developed based on responses to a questionnaire that was filled out by various City staff and a follow up workshop that focused on the City’s current activities to meet the NPDES permit requirements. The current activities and questionnaire are summarized in Appendices A and B, respectively. Each recommended activities table provided in this section indicates whether the recommended activity is required to meet permit requirements; provides a high, medium, and low ranking of the recommended activity; and summarizes expected staff or funding support required for implementation. Funding support is typically recommended for discrete or one- time tasks that can be supported by consultants or contractors allowing City staff to focus on ongoing NPDES permit requirements. Staffing support is typically recommended for ongoing NPDES permit requirements. In addition to the staffing support included in this section for recommended activities, it is also noted that the City currently has open staff positions that are funded, but is having difficulty filling these positions given the staffing shortage experienced across the region, and even across the country. Only recommended activities that reflect a NPDES permit requirement are ranked as a high priority. Although not required to meet the 2019–2024 NPDES permit requirements, it is recommended that the City staff and decision makers consider the positive impacts of the medium and low priority recommended activities on meeting the City’s long-term goals as these activities will result in greater benefits for both the community and the environment. Page 247 of 492 July 2022 54 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 5.1. PUBLIC EDUCATION AND OUTREACH The Public Education and Outreach section of the NPDES permit requires education and outreach to school-age children, adults, and overburdened communities as well as specific audiences (e.g., engineers, contractors, and developers). The City meets these requirements by contracting with the Franklin Conservation District (FCD) and coordinating with the other Quad-Cities (i.e., Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland). Activities include supporting curriculum at schools (e.g., participating in the Drain Rangers program and Wheat Week), the Regional Home and Garden Show, and the Benton-Franklin Fair and Rodeo. The City’s stormwater web page also provides easy access to stormwater information and resources. Table 5-1 includes a list of recommended activities for improving the public education and outreach component of the stormwater management program. The City currently has 0.05 full-time equivalent (FTE) allocated to support stormwater public education and outreach. The additional recommended activities identified can be met through expansion of existing activities or through funding for outside resources to develop curriculum or materials. An additional $12,000 of one-time funding and 0.09 FTE of ongoing staffing is estimated to be needed to support all of the activities summarized in Table 5-1. Table 5-1.

PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND PARTICIPATION The Public Involvement and Participation section of the NPDES permit is about ensuring the public has opportunities to provide input into the decision-making process related to stormwater management. Currently, the City meets this permit requirement by discussing stormwater-related problems or providing information at City Council sessions and inviting public comment, as well as through development and posting of annual stormwater reports and by accepting comments and addressing questions through the stormwater hotline and the front desk. Only one recommended activity was identified related to this permit section (Table 5-2). No additional staff or funding has been identified to support this permit section. Table 5-2. Recommended Activities for Public Involvement and Participation.

ILLICIT DISCHARGE DETECTION AND ELIMINATION The Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) section of the NPDES permit has an extensive list of specific and general requirements including mapping, implementation of ordinances or other regulatory actions, enforcement, field screening, identification of priority areas, development of field assessment procedures, training, education, and other activities. Table 5-3 provides a summary of recommended activities for improving the IDDE component of the stormwater management program. The majority of the recommended activities are one-time tasks related to revising the PMC, developing written methodologies, and improving documentation and, therefore, do not require extensive additional work or resources. The City currently has 0.03 FTE allocated to support IDDE. No additional ongoing activities were identified that would require permanent staff support, so no additional staff were recommended to meet IDDE program needs. One-time funding needs are estimated to be $15,000 for a spill response flow chart and geographic information system (GIS) updates. Ongoing (annual) funding needs for replacement and/or restocking of equipment are discussed in Section 6.3. Table 5-3. Recommended Activities for Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination. Recommended Activities Permit Requirement ( yes/no) Priority ( high/ medium/ low) Additional Support Needed ( staff/funding) Support Assumptions Update the City’s MS4 map by August 1, 2023 with outfall size and material, discharge points, areas that do not discharge to surface receiving waters, and connection points after August 1, 2019.

CONSTRUCTION SITE STORMWATER RUNOFF CONTROL The Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control section of the NPDES permit includes requirements related to ordinance development, inspection and enforcement, site plan review, training (including site plan, inspection/enforcement, and erosion control), and recordkeeping. The City’s program currently meets many of these requirements. Table 5-4 lists recommended activities for improving the construction site stormwater runoff control component of the stormwater management program. Most of the recommended activities are required to be in compliance with the NPDES permit, but are one-time tasks related to revising the PMC, developing written methodologies, and improving documentation; therefore, they do not require extensive additional work or resources. The stormwater utility does not currently fund any staff to support construction site stormwater runoff control because related activities are completed through existing City programs. No additional staffing and funding needs were identified. Table 5-4. Recommended Activities for Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control.

POST-CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER MANAGEMENT The Post Construction Stormwater Management section of the NPDES permit includes similar requirements to the Construction Site Stormwater Runoff Control section, including ordinance development, inspection and enforcement, site plan review, training (including site plan and design), inspection/enforcement and erosion control), and pertinent documentation. The City currently meets most of the NPDES permit requirements. Table 5-5 lists recommended activities for improving the post construction stormwater management component of the stormwater management program. The stormwater utility does not currently fund any staff to support existing activities for this NPDES permit section. One-time funding needs include $4,500 for code updates and LID training materials. Table 5-5. Recommended Activities for Post-Construction Stormwater Management.

MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE The municipal and operations and maintenance (O&M) section of the NPDES permit includes requirements for scheduling and carrying out O&M activities at City owned facilities, inspection of those facilities, and related recordkeeping and training. It also requires development and implementation of a stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) for certain City facilities. Table 5-6 includes a list of recommended activities for improving the municipal O&M component of the stormwater management program. The City currently has approximately 2.0 FTE allocated to support municipal O&M. Additional staff will be needed to support the recommended activities listed below. Ongoing (annual) staffing needs are 5.0 FTE to support operation and maintenance of stormwater facilities. These staff will serve a dual role for conducting private stormwater facility inspections identified in the previous section. One-time staffing needs include 280 hours. Table 5-6.

TOTAL MAXIMUM DAILY LOAD REQUIREMENTS The City has no specific TMDL requirements, and no program gaps or recommended activities related to the TMDL section of the NPDES permit. No additional staff or resources have been identified. 5.8. MONITORING AND ASSESSMENT The Monitoring and Assessment section of the NPDES permit requires that the City report on any monitoring or stormwater related studies in its annual report and that the City collaborate with other Eastern Washington jurisdictions to develop stormwater effectiveness studies. The City recently participated in and reviewed Yakima County’s BMP Inspection and Maintenance Responsibilities effectiveness study. Currently, the City is working on two Quad-Cities effectiveness studies on non-vegetated biofiltration swales and paired basins street sweeping. The City plans on supporting these effectiveness studies by assisting with a detailed study design proposal by September 30, 2022, completing an Ecology-approved Quality Assurance Project Plan (QAPP) by July 31, 2023, and conducting the study on or before December 1, 2023. It is expected that this work will be addressed as part of current staff responsibilities. City staff are also virtually participating in the Eastern Washington Stormwater Managers Group to incorporate comments into the next round of revisions to the NPDES permit. Therefore, the City meets all of the current requirements of this section; no program gaps or additional staff needs have been identified. 5.9. REPORTING AND RECORDKEEPING The Reporting and Recordkeeping section of the NPDES permit requires that the City submit an annual report of activities, and that it maintains records for 5 years and make records available to the public. It also requires that the City tracks the estimated cost of development and implementation of each component of their Stormwater Management Plan (SWMP). The City submits an annual report of activities, maintains records for 5 years, and make records available to the public. The City is also required to track the estimated cost for implementing the SWMP, but no additional staff or resources are needed to support this task. Page 259 of 492 July 2022 66 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 5.10. UPDATE TO CITY CODE AND DESIGN STANDARDS As listed above in Sections 5.3 through 5.5, updates to the PMC are needed to remain in compliance with the NPDES permit requirements, but it may also be necessary to develop an addendum/supplement to the SWMMEW to include additional design standards for elements not addressed in the SWMMEW. This includes detailed design guidance for: Low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs), such as bioretention and permeable pavement. Guidance for Eastern Washington is covered in the SWMMEW, but City-specific design requirements may need to be established. Updates to infiltration trench design standard, to reduce the potential for clogging. Section 4.3.1 contains potential strategies for addressing chronic clogging issues through design changes. The design standards, including sizing and layout, for these elements should be explicitly covered in the PMC and/or a City amendment/supplement to the SWMMEW. The City’s review of drainage plans would also benefit from more specific design standards, particularly for sizing. Multiple projects that were identified for rehabilitation during this planning process are a result of undersized and poorly designed facilities, which could have been prevented during the site plan review stage. Specific guidance should also be developed for construction and inspections of temporary erosion and sediment control measures and proper installation of stormwater facilities. In addition, stormwater requirements are addressed in multiple chapters of the PMC, making it difficult for developers, designers, and reviewers to track specific requirements. The City should consider reorganizing its code to include all general stormwater requirements in one section of the code. The City may want to consider developing its own stormwater design manual, or a detailed amendment to the SWMMEW, and modifying the PMC to remove specific design information and to reference the design guidance instead. This would prevent inconsistencies between the PMC and the stormwater design manual and would also make it easier to revise design standards without going through a formal code adoption process.

STAFFING NEEDS Table 6-2 provides a summary of current and additional staffing and consultant needs (as identified in Section 5) for implementing the City’s stormwater management program. The City currently has approximately 2.51 full-time-equivalent (FTE) funded through the stormwater utility that support stormwater program activities and/or O&M. An additional approximately 1.41 FTE are funded through the City’s general fund. These staff provide stormwater engineering support through the City’s Community and Economic Development department for activities such as plan review and site inspections. In total, there are approximately 3.92 FTE supporting the stormwater management program. It is assumed these FTE will continue to be funded through the same funding sources. The additional staff support needs identified in Table 6-2 are those associated with carrying out the high priority activities in this plan. Refer to Section 5 for information about the medium and low priority activities. Table 6-2. Current and Recommended City of Pasco SWMP Staff and Consultant Needs to Support Ongoing Activities.

Page 262 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 69 Before the 2016 plan, the City purchased a van equipped with closed circuit television (CCTV; refer to Table 6-3 in Section 6.3), but it currently does not have staff available to operate the van and conduct routine video inspections of the stormwater pipe network to identify deficiencies. Two additional FTE stormwater maintenance staff are needed to carry out that activity; these additional staff could also support the private stormwater facility inspection program identified in Table 5-5. A small increase in staffing was also identified to support public education and outreach for the stormwater management program (included in Table 5-1). The total additional staffing need for low, medium, and high priority activities is estimated at 5.09 FTE. For the high priority activities only, the additional staffing need is estimated at 3.0 FTE. These 3.0 FTE would implement the following activities: Inspecting, cleaning, and maintaining catch basins, inlets, and infiltration facilities Repairing damaged stormwater treatment and flow control facilities after spot checks Page 263 of 492 July 2022 70 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 6.3. EQUIPMENT NEEDS The major City equipment currently used for stormwater management includes two Vactor trucks (although the City has only one Vactor crew), four street sweepers, and a CCTV-equipped van. The City also purchased an unlimited Cartegraph license (a software program used for tracking asset, work, space, and operations management) through a grant from Ecology. Table 6-3 lists the City’s current equipment as well as equipment recommended for field screening and source tracing. Estimated costs for purchasing the recommended equipment are 3,000 plus an annual replacement cost of $1,000. Table 6-3. Current and Recommended City of Pasco SWMP Equipment.

Page 265 of 492 July 2022 72 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 6.4. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM NEEDS The CIP projects are described in Section 4. Table 6-4 presents an implementation schedule that balances project priority and available funding. The project implementation schedule was developed by City staff and was based on their priorities and expectations at the time this plan was developed. South Oregon Avenue North of East Ainsworth Street was scheduled first because the City plans on developing the design in-house.. North Sycamore Avenue Infiltration Improvements was scheduled second because of the severity and frequency of flooding and the high cost for maintenance at this site. In addition to implementation of the projects and funding described in other sections of this plan, the City should take the following steps related to CIP planning: 1. The Stormwater Program staff should meet at least annually with all Public Works Operations staff to: a. Identify any new problems that should be added based on field observations or system inspection data. b. Revisit project priorities by reconsidering the risk posed by known problems. c. Adjust the CIP list, web map, and priorities, including updating the 6-year implementation schedule, based on the output of Steps a and b above. 2. Review the CIP section when this plan is updated. Use the CIP prioritization framework to justify adding, removing, or modifying projects. Page 266 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 73 Table 6-4.

INTERDEPARTMENTAL COLLABORATION Implementation of a stormwater management program requires collaboration from multiple City departments. The City is committed to both meeting compliance requirements and deadlines of the NPDES permit and providing its citizens with adequate stormwater management services. The stormwater management program is led by the City’s Environmental Compliance Coordinator in the Public Works Department. The Environmental Compliance Coordinator works closely with other City departments and divisions, including the Public Works Operations Division, Parks and Recreation, and Community and Economic Development, to implement activities in the program areas of flood protection and water quality. Table 6-5 summarizes the roles and responsibilities of the various City departments and divisions. Table 6-5. Interdepartmental Responsibilities. Department Responsibilities Public Works – CIP Engineering Division Overall stormwater management planning and NPDES permit compliance responsibilities Public education and outreach related to stormwater issues Public involvement and participation IDDE program management Review of plans for development, redevelopment, and construction sites Compliance with TMDLs established for waterbodies in the City Annual reporting requirements associated with the NPDES permit Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan development and implementation CIP project planning, design, and construction.

Page 268 of 492 July 2022 City of Pasco Comprehensive Stormwater Management Plan – 2022 75 6.6. INTERAGENCY COLLABORATION Collaboration with other permittees in Eastern Washington has been very beneficial to the City. The Eastern Washington Stormwater Managers Group has been instrumental in guiding development of the NPDES permit, directing stormwater related guidance manuals, and sharing other valuable information. The group is currently involved in implementing stormwater effectiveness studies and guiding the update of the Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington. Staff time spent on Interagency Collaboration is covered through existing FTEs. The City of Pasco will continue to be an active member of the Eastern Washington Stormwater Managers Group.

Heavy metals, lawn and garden chemicals, animal waste, sediment, petroleum products, and trash are common pollutants found in stormwater. In fact, urban runoff is responsible for more than 60% of the water pollution in Washington State!” o “Even though Pasco only receives an average of 8 inches of rainfall annually, the pollutant load here can actually be even greater than in cities that receive much more rainfall. That's because the pollutants have a longer time to collect and concentrate on impervious surfaces between our infrequent storm events.” Methods for avoiding, minimizing, reducing and/or eliminating the adverse impacts of stormwater discharges o Link to “Washington waters – ours to protect” web page that includes information on car washing, car maintenance, on-site septic system maintenance, recreational boating, yard care, small farm manure, and dog poop: https://ecology.wa.gov/Issues-and-local-projects/Education-training/What- you-can-do/Washington-Waters-ours-to-protect Actions individuals can take to improve water quality o Link to “Washington waters – ours to protect” web page No gaps identified July 2022 B-2 Stormwater Management Program Evaluation and Recommended Activities Table B-1 (continued).

Permit Section Summary of Permit Requirements Current Activities Recommendations Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) S5.B.3.a.i – S5.B.3.a.iii Ongoing Mapping Requirements Conduct field surveys to verify outfall locations and previously unknown outfalls on priority water bodies as part of ongoing mapping efforts of the City’s MS4. Beginning August 1, 2021, the required, format for mapping is an electronic format (e.g., GIS, CAD, or other software that can map and store points, lines, polygons, and associated attributes) with fully described mapping standards Update and maintain a map of the MS4 by August 1, 2023, to include the following information: Outfall pipe information Areas served by the MS4 that discharge to ground Permanent stormwater facilities owned or operated by the City All public and private connections to the MS4 Field surveys have been completed and outfalls are mapped. Required documentation is complete and includes: o Current City Maps: 2020 Critical Areas Ordinance Map Columbia Irrigation District Map Pasco Zoning Map o Stormwater-related GIS layers: Storm water pipe Storm water outlet Storm drywell Storm water basin Storm water manhole Storm water inlet Parcels Pasco city limits Wellhead protection areas Water quality 303d listings Work with a consultant to update the City’s MS4 map. This would include obtaining outfall size and material, creating a discharge points layer, defining areas that don’t discharge to surface receiving waters, and ensuring all connection points with dates after August 1, 2019 are accounted for. Although not required at this time, the City may want to consider developing additional datasets that would assist with the City’s understanding of the stormwater system to support field screening and source tracing of future illicit discharges. The City could develop GIS layers for ditches, irrigation channels, City-owned streets, and streets with curbs and gutters. The City should also consider adding attributes to describe different pipe materials and uses in their storm water pipe” layer, developing a stormwater facilities layer, and gathering information about Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) pipes within City limits.

S5.B.6.a.i.h Permittees shall implement a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) to protect water quality at City-operated material storage areas, heavy equipment storage areas, and maintenance areas. At a minimum, the SWPPP should include: A site map showing the facility’s stormwater drainage, discharge points, and areas of potential pollutant exposure. An inventory of the materials and equipment stored on-site, and the activities conducted at the facility which may be exposed to precipitation or runoff and could result in stormwater pollution. A plan for preventing and responding to spills at the facility which could result in an illicit discharge. A detailed description of the operational and structural BMPs in use at the facility and a schedule for implementation of additional BMPs. o BMPs selected shall be consistent with the Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington, or other Ecology- approved technical manual. o The SWPPP shall be updated as needed to maintain relevancy with the facility. Annual inspections of the facility, including visual observations of discharges, to evaluate the effectiveness of the BMPs, identify maintenance needs, and determine if additional or different BMPs are needed. The results of these inspections shall be documented in an inspection report or check list. The City’s SWPPP was developed in 2012 and covers the following City facilities: City Shop facility, Road 108 facility, Wastewater Treatment Plant, Parks and Recreation Shop facility. The City’s SWPPP references source control BMPs in the SWMMEW. Update the City’s SWPPP. Engage staff involved with implementing the SWPPP in the update process to make the SWPPP more practical and effective in daily operations. Ensure that the SWPPP is implemented at City facilities and its use is documented. An annual SWPPP training (or refresher training) may be helpful to implement.

HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The City of Pasco has seen significant population growth over the past twenty years, and the demand on services delivered by the police department has continued to increase with such growth. The challenge the Police Department faces is to maintain high levels of service, low response times, reduce liability while increasing transparency, building trust with our community, and looking for opportunities to reduce crime. A method of delivery for police services as discussed in the recently adopted Police Department Strategic Plan is known as the District Policing Model. This model will allow the police department to maintain high levels of service and low response times by focusing dedicated response teams and supervisors to geographically smaller areas within the City of Pasco. District Policing will reduce liability by maintaining a reasonable span of control for our supervisors that is in accordance with best practices and provides Page 353 of 492 supervisors more opportunities to be present during high liability contacts with the community. District Policing also increases accountability and transparency by adding an additional layer of supervision that is dedicated to ensuring all Police Department personnel are demonstrating the core values of the departments Mission, Vision and Values. This level of supervision allows the department to make sure high standards of service are maintained, and community concerns are addressed quickly and appropriately. In conjunction with increased accountability and transparency, the District Policing Model will increase public trust as it works directly with the philosophy of Community Oriented Policing currently implemented by the Police Department. This model effectively distributes community officer resources and demonstrates commitment to the highest levels of service to the people of Pasco. An additional benefit of the District Policing Model is reducing unexpected employee attrition. This model will reduce fatigue by fostering a team approach to engagement and enforcement by allowing supervisors to be readily available to officers when they require assistance during critical incidents and increase opportunities to for supervisors to engage with personnel, to ensure wellness amongst staff. As the Police Department expands data usage to address crime and disorder, the District Policing Model will allow for better focus of resources toward problem solving in directed enforcement areas. V. DISCUSSION: As a forward-thinking Police Department, the District Policing Model considers the size of the Pasco community both in square miles and population. With the projected growth of the City of Pasco the police department needs to plan for the future of policing Pasco and the District Policing Model will provide an effective method to do so. Chief Ken Roske will provide a presentation on the District Policing Model as an identified method of the delivery of police services outlined in the recently adopted Police Department Strategic Plan. This will be an opportunity for Council to discuss the proposed policing model and obtain further clarification if needed.

Pasco City Council Meeting September 12, 2022Page AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council September 8, 2022 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Workshop Meeting: 9/12/22 FROM: Dave Zabell, City Manager Executive SUBJECT: Remote Meeting Attendance - Recent Updates in the Open Public Meetings Act (RCW 42.30) I. REFERENCE(S): N/A II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: On March 16, 2020, then Mayor, Saul Martinez, proclaimed the existence of a civil emergency pursuant to the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Section 2.55.010 due to the emergency caused a world-wide pandemic, COVID-19, and City Council ratified the Mayor's proclamation through Resolution No. 3946. An Emergency Order (EO) 2020-006 - Conducting Public Meetings, was first ratified in April 2020 based on Washington State Governor Inslee's Proclamation 20-28.14, enabling public agencies, at their option and, in addition to hosting remote meeting elements and all guidelines and requirements prescribed within Proclamation, to include an in-person meeting component. Subsequently, Governor Inslee continued extending Proclamations 20.28.14 and 20.28.15 until June 1, 2022, when new legislation related to the Open Public Meeting Act (OPMA), under ESHB 1329, codified many of the restrictions and requirements of the expiring Governor proclamations. Page 362 of 492 Mayor Barajas extended EO 2020.006.2 - Conducting Public Meetings, on June 6, 2022, retroactive to June 1, 2022. The approval also extended the in -person meeting option to all City advisory boards and commissions. The extension of this EO was to ensure that the City remains in compliance with the new legislation until staff had an opportunity to have a broader discussion with Council regarding remote/virtual meeting attendance for Council and its Boards & Commissions. V. DISCUSSION: Prior to the pandemic and the issuance of the aforementioned gubernatorial proclamations and mayoral EOs, remote/virtual attendance are rare and occurred on a one a case by case basis. Tonight, staff is seeking direction regarding if, and when, and under what conditions, remote (virtual) attendance for Council should be an option. To aid in the discussion, staff provides the following questions: 1. Is in person attendance considered essential? a. If the answer is yes, there may be times that remote attendance is needed. When this occurs, the Councilmember will need a virtual platform that allows for real-time verbal communication. What does real-time verbal communication mean? Is a telephone/audio only sufficient or will video camera be required? Is there a band- width/megahertz requirement needed to ensure connectivity is not compromised during the meeting? 2. Should the benefit of remote attendance be limited to the City of Pasco and not solely for the benefit of an individual Councilmember? 3. What should the notification requirements for remote attendance be; 24 - hours, longer? 4. How often should Councilmember be allowed to attend remotely? 5. How will remote attendance requests be approved? Should request be approved by the Council as a whole following the same procedure for excused and unexcused absences, by the Mayor? 6. What is considered "normal conditions"? 7. Under normal conditions, when would Councilmember(s) be allowed to meet remotely? 8. Should Councilmember(s) attending remotely be required to actively participate for the duration of the meeting or logon/participate only for voting on items? 9. If Councilmember(s) attending remotely are unresponsive during a vote, does the vote need to be delayed or will their vote be recorded as a specific response? Page 363 of 492 10. Should remote attendance be allowed during quasi-judicial legislative or appeal hearing? 11. Should there be a limit of Councilmembers attending remotely? 12. During an emergency, and following public meeting requirements, should all Council meetings have the option of being held in person, in a hybrid fashion or remotely? Although these questions relate to Council specifically, Boards and Commission are also a consideration. Staff is seeking Council discussion and consensus, or a majority, on the standards Council wishes to enact for remote meeting/workshop attendance. Once vetted, staff will prepare a resolution memorizing the standards for Council approval.

REFERENCE(S): City Limit Map as of April 1, 2020 II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: May 8, 2017, was the most recent revisions to the City of Pasco's Council Voting Districts and were instituted after Judge Suko approved the motion to revise the City's Council District Boundary Map based on entering a consent decree with the ACLU. The U.S. Census completed the 10-year census in 2020 and in August of 2021 released key census information to Washington State Office of Financial Management who in turn provided information to the States, Counties and Municipalities. V. DISCUSSION: Completion of the U.S. Census triggered the need and opportunity for the City to review its City Council Districts to assure compliance with the federal and state Voter Rights Acts. 2020 Census data was made available by the U.S. government in the fall of 2021, since that time, and per Council direction, staff has been working with specialized legal and demographic professionals to Page 365 of 492 review and update City Council District boundaries to account for changes in; city boundaries, total population, voter population, and other pertinent demographic factors that have occurred between April 1, 2010 and April 1, 2020. In preparing for the redistricting effort, it is helpful to keep in mind that the six (6) City Council Districts will need to be adjusted based on the results of the 2020 U.S. Census, and the city limits map in effect at that time. Attached is the April 1, 2020 city limits map for reference. Essentially, the City Council District map the Council will be adopting as part of the redistricting effort will reflect how the six Council districts best fit into the April 1, 2020 map for the population and other statutorily relevant factors of the City at that time, as determined by the 2020 U.S. Census and the two Acts. As Council is aware, there have been annexations to the City subsequent to April 1, 2020. Annexation ordinances relating to each annexation subsequent to April 2020 should have identified the City Council district the newly annexed was assigned, these individual ordinances will in effect modify the yet to be adopted April 1, 2020 district map. To the extent any of the annexation ordinances fail to reflect a City Council district, or the April 1, 2020 City Council District map is required to be modified such that the annexed area is no longer contiguous with the district identified in that particular annexation ordinance, adjustments will need to be made by subsequent ordinance. At the end of the day two maps will exist, the adopted April 1, 2020 City Council District map, and an updated or current map, illustrating the addition of annexations subsequent to April 1, 2021 to the adopted City Council District map. Staff will provide a brief history and status report of the redistricting of the City of Pasco's Council Voting Districts and a timeline for the current redistricting effort.

REFERENCE(S): Draft Resolution Resolution No.1969 Planning Commission Minutes Dated: 06.16.2022 & 08.18.2022 II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: CDBG Entitlement for 2023 is estimated at $924,958 with prior year funds and program income IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The City of Pasco receives an annual entitlement grant from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the Community Block Grant (CDBG) program authorized by Title 1 of the Housing and Community Redevelopment Act. The City's grant allocation process is guided by Resolution No. 1969, approved in 1991, which designates the Planning Commission as the Block Grant advisory committee and addresses several community needs for which the CDBG program will provide funding. The resolution places the highest priority on bricks and mortar physical improvements and specifically excludes social service programs carried on by non-profit organizations and governmental agencies designed to provide health, welfare, and educational activities for individual persons. Recreation programs operated by the City do not fall under this definition of social service programs. Page 368 of 492 A "Request for Proposals" (RFP) for 2023 CDBG funds was published in the Tri- City Herald and Tu Decides newspapers in May 2022. Eighteen (18) requests for grant funding were considered totaling $2,116,500.00. The Planning Commission held public hearings at the June 16, 2022 and August 18, 2022 meetings. The public hearings solicited public comment on any application for funding, or reallocation for the City of Pasco 2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. At the public hearings, sixteen (16) presentations were made relating to proposed activities. V. DISCUSSION: Staff presented recommendations for funding 12 of the 18 applications at the August 18, 2022, Planning Commission Meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the funding recommendations as presented in the proposed resolution. There is always some question regarding funding levels approved by Congress. Actual available funding for these FY 2023 activities will remain in question until the 2023 budget is finalized. Staff recommends that all projects listed in the proposed resolution should receive funding as it becomes available. An amendment to the Annual Action Plan would be necessary to allocate unobligated funds to any project not in the plan. If funding levels are higher or lower than estimated, activity funding will be proportionately adjusted prior to submission of the plan.

Block Grant 2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Allocations MF# BGAP2022-003) Good evening, Planning Commission. Tonight, I'll bring you the staff recommendations for the 2023 CDBG allocations. You heard from the applicants at the June Planning Commission meeting. In your package tonight is the memorandum that explains how the funds have to be broken down so that we meet the public service cap, planning and administration cap, as well as the payment for the section 108 debt. After discussions and staff evaluation, it is recommended that the activities set forth in Attachment 1, would best meet the City Council City's Consolidated Plan and be most effective in carrying out the objectives for the 2023 year. Your review and consideration for recommendations to the City Council would be appreciated, and I will stand for any questions. This is Commissioner Teel, on the City of Pasco’s Chip Minor Rehab, I was just curious why the funding is larger then what the agency requested. Kristin Webb replied because we received program income, we've had some Pasco residents that have paid off previous rehabs with us. And so that money has to go back into it, and we just found that out that we had a discrepancy in the amount. Page 387 of 492 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 9 August 18, 2022 This is Commissioner Bowers, and I wanted to ask a question. I noticed that for number one, CDBG Program Administration, there's no non CDBG match. Is that correct? Kristin Webb replied that is correct. Commissioner Bower continued, so basically all the money that goes into this ends up covering administrative costs? Kristin Webb answered yes, salaries, supplies and trainings. Commissioner Bowers stated her next question was wondering about the Girl Scouts of eastern Washington and northern Idaho. I was wondering why you made the suggestion that it should not be funded. Kristin Webb answered basically, we made that suggestion because of the risk that they are. If you look on the second column to the end, that shows what kind of risk they are. They are high risk because they've never applied with us before. She also answered Commissioner Bowers question regarding that if they apply next year, that their risk would be lower. Commissioner Mendez stated I have a question regarding the City of Pasco Section 108 debt repayment $200,000 agency request. Staff is recommending the same. Is that to service the debt? He was answered by Kristin Webb with yes. He asked do we know how much it is. Kristin Webb answered the debt was $3.7 million, so we'll be paying 200,000 for the next 30 years. Vice Chair Mendez asked if there were any applicants that like to come forward and speak to the request again. My name is Mariana Marquez Sital, I live and am from Pasco. I'm with the Girl Scouts and I just wanted to make a comment that we have received funding and maybe it doesn't apply, but from the City of Richland last year with the same funding CBDG funds. I just wanted to make that and put it on the record. Commissioner Bowers asked what other sources of funding does the Girl Scouts have? Ms. Marquez Sital answered for the Go Getters Program, the first year we were awarded a grant by Women Helping Women for $25k, and that was used last year. Every year we start over so that is the only type of funding we have so far. Good evening. My name is Diana Izaguirre I am with Domestic Violence Services. I first of all wanted to thank the Planning Commission for entertaining our application. We're disappointed we didn't get it, but I appreciate the explanation of the risk factor. Similar to the Girl Scouts, we also have received CDBG funds from Richland and some other places. But we look forward to applying again and we really do appreciate your support with everything we've done in the past. Thank you. Page 388 of 492 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 9 August 18, 2022 Commissioner Mendez stated thank you so much. Yes, their resources are limited and many applications and encourage you to continue to apply. Anybody else that would like to come forward and speak? Going once, going twice, three times. At this time, I would like to entertain a motion from the Commissioners. Commissioner Campos. Before I make a motion, just want to say that I want to thank all the applicants for applying for CDBG. It's kind of hard choosing and picking, we wish that we could give to everybody, but unfortunately, we can’t. So, we do want to just encourage everyone to keep on trying and we'll keep on doing our best to continue to give these funds out. Commissioner Campos moved the Planning Commission close the Public Hearing on the use of funds for the 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program. Further move that the Planning Commission forward recommendation as presented to the City Council workshop for consideration. It was seconded by Commissioner Bowers, motion passed unanimously. Kristin Webb stated the path forward is that it will go before the City Council at a workshop, and then also at a regular meeting. Then we wait until next year when we find out how much funding we will actually get. B. Block Grant 2023 HOME Funds Allocations (MF# BGAP2022-004) Tonight, I bring you the recommendations for the HOME Program for 2023. As you can see from the slide, the allocations are broken down by the Program Administration, Down Payment Assistance, and Tenant Based Rental Assistance. Last year, the City of Pasco, out of the three cities that are in the HOME Consortium, was the only City to do a Down Payment Assistant Loan. So far this year, the City of Pasco again is the only City to do a Down Payment Assistance Loan. From 2015 to 2021, HOME Funds provided down payment assistance to 77 Pasco first time home buyers. With the increase of the housing market, it has become more difficult for Pasco residents to find homes within the purchase limit, which is regulated by HUD. Your review and recommendation to the City Council would be appreciated, and I stand for any questions. Commissioners Mendez asked if there were any questions from the Commissioners, hearing none he stated, sounds like we got it pretty well covered the last time. So, at this time, we're going to open it for Public Hearing. Any individual wishes speaking on this particular item. Now is the time to come forward and speak. Please state your name and city of address for the record. Going once, going twice, going three times. Public Hearings closed on this item. At this time, I will entertain a motion from Commissioners. This is Commissioner Bowers, and it doesn't look like we have a motion, but our review and recommendation to the City Council, it says, would be appreciated. And I can say that this looks like a solid proposal to reinvest in the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. I like the work plan, and I think we should go forward to try and offer more opportunities towards home ownership in Pasco. Commissioner Bowers moved to close the Public Hearing, Commissioner Hendler seconded, the motion passed unanimously.

REFERENCE(S): Draft Resolution Planning Commission Minutes Dated: 06.16.2022 & 08.18.2022 II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: Pasco's share of Federal HOME funds is $288,000 (including program income). IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Pasco entered into a HOME Consortium Agreement with the Cities of Richland and Kennewick in 1996 making the City eligible for Federal HOME funds. Every three (3) years, during the renewal cycle, member cities are given the opportunity to withdraw from the consortium, make changes to the cooperative agreement, or select a new Lead Agency. HOME funds are allocated based on need and income eligibility and may be used anywhere within the City limits; however, neighborhoods designated a priority by Pasco City Council receive first consideration. Funding is first targeted in the Longfellow and Museum neighborhoods, then within low-moderate income census tracts (201, 202, 203, and 204). If HOME funds cannot be applied to those areas, then they are used as needed within the Pasco City limits for the benefit of eligible low-moderate income families. Page 390 of 492 V. DISCUSSION: The City is restricted to using HOME funds down payment assistance for first time home-buyers in accordance with the Tri-Cities HOME Consortium Cooperative Agreement approved by all three cities in 2019 and expires December 31, 2022. From 2015 through 2021, HOME funds provided down payment assistance to 77 Pasco first time home-buyers at the maximum of $10,000 per loan. In program year 2022, one (1) down payment assistance loan has been funded to date. Estimated HOME entitlements funding totaling $288,000 (including program income) will be available to provide down payment assistance for an estimated ten (10) first time home-buyers in 2023, based on need, with the remainder going to assist Tenant Based Rental assistance. Staff presented recommendations for funding at the August 18, 2022, Planning Commission Meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of staff funding recommendations as presented.

Hearing none, let the record show there were no declarations. Vice Chair Mendez stated the Planning Commission needed and valued public input explaining it helped the Commission understand the issues more clearly and allowed for better recommendations to City Council. Furthermore, in many cases, this could be the only forum for the public to get facts and opinions placed into the official record and City Council will use to make the Commission’s decision. He encouraged those present to take full advantage of this opportunity. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Bowers moved to approve the Planning Commission meeting minutes of June16, 2022. Commissioner Hendler seconded, and the motion carried. OLD BUSINESS None. PUBLIC HEARINGS Kristin Webb introduced Jerry Martinez to the Planning Commission. He is the new Executive Director of the Downtown Pasco Development Authority, the organization that manages the Pasco Specialty Kitchen and the Pasco Farmers Market. A. Block Grant 2023 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Allocations MF# BGAP2022-003) Good evening, Planning Commission. Tonight, I'll bring you the staff recommendations for the 2023 CDBG allocations. You heard from the applicants at the June Planning Commission meeting. In your package tonight is the memorandum that explains how the funds have to be broken down so that we meet the public service cap, planning and administration cap, as well as the payment for the section 108 debt. After discussions and staff evaluation, it is recommended that the activities set forth in Attachment 1, would best meet the City Council City's Consolidated Plan and be most effective in carrying out the objectives for the 2023 year. Your review and consideration for recommendations to the City Council would be appreciated, and I will stand for any questions. This is Commissioner Teel, on the City of Pasco’s Chip Minor Rehab, I was just curious why the funding is larger then what the agency requested. Kristin Webb replied because we received program income, we've had some Pasco residents that have paid off previous rehabs with us. And so that money has to go back into it, and we just found that out that we had a discrepancy in the amount. Page 406 of 492 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 3 of 9 August 18, 2022 This is Commissioner Bowers, and I wanted to ask a question. I noticed that for number one, CDBG Program Administration, there's no non CDBG match. Is that correct? Kristin Webb replied that is correct. Commissioner Bower continued, so basically all the money that goes into this ends up covering administrative costs? Kristin Webb answered yes, salaries, supplies and trainings. Commissioner Bowers stated her next question was wondering about the Girl Scouts of eastern Washington and northern Idaho. I was wondering why you made the suggestion that it should not be funded. Kristin Webb answered basically, we made that suggestion because of the risk that they are. If you look on the second column to the end, that shows what kind of risk they are. They are high risk because they've never applied with us before. She also answered Commissioner Bowers question regarding that if they apply next year, that their risk would be lower. Commissioner Mendez stated I have a question regarding the City of Pasco Section 108 debt repayment $200,000 agency request. Staff is recommending the same. Is that to service the debt? He was answered by Kristin Webb with yes. He asked do we know how much it is. Kristin Webb answered the debt was $3.7 million, so we'll be paying 200,000 for the next 30 years. Vice Chair Mendez asked if there were any applicants that like to come forward and speak to the request again. My name is Mariana Marquez Sital, I live and am from Pasco. I'm with the Girl Scouts and I just wanted to make a comment that we have received funding and maybe it doesn't apply, but from the City of Richland last year with the same funding CBDG funds. I just wanted to make that and put it on the record. Commissioner Bowers asked what other sources of funding does the Girl Scouts have? Ms. Marquez Sital answered for the Go Getters Program, the first year we were awarded a grant by Women Helping Women for $25k, and that was used last year. Every year we start over so that is the only type of funding we have so far. Good evening. My name is Diana Izaguirre I am with Domestic Violence Services. I first of all wanted to thank the Planning Commission for entertaining our application. We're disappointed we didn't get it, but I appreciate the explanation of the risk factor. Similar to the Girl Scouts, we also have received CDBG funds from Richland and some other places. But we look forward to applying again and we really do appreciate your support with everything we've done in the past. Thank you. Page 407 of 492 Planning Commission Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 9 August 18, 2022 Commissioner Mendez stated thank you so much. Yes, their resources are limited and many applications and encourage you to continue to apply. Anybody else that would like to come forward and speak? Going once, going twice, three times. At this time, I would like to entertain a motion from the Commissioners. Commissioner Campos. Before I make a motion, just want to say that I want to thank all the applicants for applying for CDBG. It's kind of hard choosing and picking, we wish that we could give to everybody, but unfortunately, we can’t. So, we do want to just encourage everyone to keep on trying and we'll keep on doing our best to continue to give these funds out. Commissioner Campos moved the Planning Commission close the Public Hearing on the use of funds for the 2023 Community Development Block Grant Program. Further move that the Planning Commission forward recommendation as presented to the City Council workshop for consideration. It was seconded by Commissioner Bowers, motion passed unanimously. Kristin Webb stated the path forward is that it will go before the City Council at a workshop, and then also at a regular meeting. Then we wait until next year when we find out how much funding we will actually get. B. Block Grant 2023 HOME Funds Allocations (MF# BGAP2022-004) Tonight, I bring you the recommendations for the HOME Program for 2023. As you can see from the slide, the allocations are broken down by the Program Administration, Down Payment Assistance, and Tenant Based Rental Assistance. Last year, the City of Pasco, out of the three cities that are in the HOME Consortium, was the only City to do a Down Payment Assistant Loan. So far this year, the City of Pasco again is the only City to do a Down Payment Assistance Loan. From 2015 to 2021, HOME Funds provided down payment assistance to 77 Pasco first time home buyers. With the increase of the housing market, it has become more difficult for Pasco residents to find homes within the purchase limit, which is regulated by HUD. Your review and recommendation to the City Council would be appreciated, and I stand for any questions. Commissioners Mendez asked if there were any questions from the Commissioners, hearing none he stated, sounds like we got it pretty well covered the last time. So, at this time, we're going to open it for Public Hearing. Any individual wishes speaking on this particular item. Now is the time to come forward and speak. Please state your name and city of address for the record. Going once, going twice, going three times. Public Hearings closed on this item. At this time, I will entertain a motion from Commissioners. This is Commissioner Bowers, and it doesn't look like we have a motion, but our review and recommendation to the City Council, it says, would be appreciated. And I can say that this looks like a solid proposal to reinvest in the HOME Investment Partnerships Program. I like the work plan, and I think we should go forward to try and offer more opportunities towards home ownership in Pasco. Commissioner Bowers moved to close the Public Hearing, Commissioner Hendler seconded, the motion passed unanimously. Page 408 of 492 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council September 7, 2022 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Workshop Meeting: 9/12/22 FROM: Rick White, Director Community & Economic Development SUBJECT: Discussion - Snake River Agriculture LLC Right-of-Way Vacation (VAC 2022-006) I. REFERENCE(S): Draft Resolution Overview Map Vicinity Map Vacation Petition II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: None. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Steve West, on behalf of Snake River Agriculture LLC, has submitted a request to vacate a portion of South Oregon Avenue located at the southeast corner of East "A" Street and South Oregon Avenue. V. DISCUSSION: This item will return to Council at the September 19th regular meeting for setting the public hearing date. Per the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 12.40, the Council may require compensation for vacated rights-of-way. The compensation involves obtaining a title report and appraisal of value. However, the compensation and the requirements attached thereto may be waived if one or more of the following conditions apply: Page 409 of 492 1. The vacation is initiated by the City Council by Resolution; 2. The vacation is at the request of the City; 3. The right-of-way to be vacated was previously determined by the City Council not to be essential to public traffic circulation and available for vacation; 4. The grant of substitute right-of-way which has a value as a right-of-way at least equal to that right-of-way to be vacated; and 5. The resulting benefit to the community of the project requiring the vacation outweighs the appraised value of the right-of-way to be vacated. In the current situation, the vacation does not appear to meet any of the above criteria, which would require an appraisal and payment of applicable compensation. Further analysis will occur prior to the public hearing for the proposed vacation.

REFERENCE(S): Resolution II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: Overall project cost during the construction phase is currently estimated to be approximately $32 million dollars. Staff seeks council support to pursue full funding for the estimated construction and construction administration cost in the form of a 1.2% interest rate, 20-year loan term from the Department of Ecology. If successful, the low interest loan rate will be significantly less than the municipal bond market interest rate, which is currently around 4.5%, resulting in lower annual debt service obligations. Table 11: SFY24 Interest Rates for Standard CWSRF Loans Loan Term Interest Rate for Most Projects Interest Rate for OSS/Nonpoint Source Activity Projects 5 Years 0.6% 0.2% 20 Years 1.2% 0.4% 30 Years 1.6% 0.8% IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The City operates a single wastewater treatment facility to treat the City’s Municipal sewer, prior to the treated water being discharged to the Columbia River. shortWhilethefacilitycanaccommodatecurrentand -term peak Page 420 of 492 demands, treatment capacity must increase to meet the City’s 20-year planning projections and maintain an adequate level of treatment in this aging facility for compliance with regulations and adequate service to all users. In 2019, a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) facility plan was finalized describing the series of improvements required to replace aging infrastructure and Theyears. 20next 2021overflowsprojectedaccommodatethe WastewaterthethatconfirmedAmendmentSewerComprehensivePlan Treatment Plant (WWTP) will be required over the next 20 years to increase its Average Daily Flow capacity from 5.6 Million Gallons per day (MGD) to 12.39 MGD (Assuming a full Riverview Contribution). The proposed WWTP improvements were phased into two projects. Phase 1 is under construction. The design of Phase 2 is complete and under review by the Department of Ecology, a prerequisite for construction funding eligibility. The Phase 2 project includes in-water work (Columbia River outfall and diffuser) as well as improvements to the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system, mechanical dewatering and thickening at the plant. The Clean Water State Revolving Fund Program, administered by Washington State Department of Ecology, is a financial assistance program that supports infrastructure improvements with the goal of preserving water quality in waters of the state. This program is funded through federal and state money and is subject to state and federal regulations. City staff believes a low-interest loan for the construction of the WWTP Phase 2 project is a worthwhile effort. As currently advertised, CWSRF 20-year Construction loans have a 1.2% interest rate. Applications are due October 12, 2022. V. DISCUSSION: Staff requests approval from City Council to submit an application for a low- interest loan from the Washington State Department of Ecology Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program for the construction of the WWTP - Phase 2 project. Page 421 of 492 Resolution: Funding Application to DOE for WWTP Improvements - 1 RESOLUTION NO. _______ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, AUTHORIZING THE SUBMITTAL OF A WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF ECOLOGY CLEAN WATER STATE REVOLVING FUND LOAN APPLICATION FOR THE WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PHASE 2 PROJECT. WHEREAS, the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) project is a multi-phase project that will increase treatment capacity and improve the resiliency and redundancy of the municipal wastewater system for Pasco; and WHEREAS, Phase II is currently at a draft 100% level of development and is in the process of being reviewed by the Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE); and WHEREAS, to help fund these improvements, the City is requesting authorization to submit an application for a low-interest loan with the DOE through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) program; and WHEREAS, the CWSRF provides low-interest construction loans to publicly- and privately-owned drinking water systems. These loans cover capital improvements that increase public health and compliance with municipal waterwater regulations: and: WHEREAS, As currently advertised, the CWSRF 20-year construction loans have a 1.2% interest rate. WHEREAS, if the City is selected as a recipient for the CWSRF 20-year construction loan, the loan agreement will be subject to Council review and approval. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON: That the City Council authorizes the submittal of a CWSRF low-interest loan application to the Washington State Department of Ecology for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Phase 2 Improvements project. Page 422 of 492 Resolution: Funding Application to DOE for WWTP Improvements - 2 Be It Further Resolved, that this Resolution shall take effect immediately. PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington, this ____ day of September, 2022. Blanche Barajas Mayor ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: Debra Barham, CMC Kerr Ferguson Law, PLLC City Clerk City Attorneys Page 423 of 492 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council September 7, 2022 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Workshop Meeting: 9/12/22 FROM: Steve Worley, Director Public Works SUBJECT: Resolution - Process Water Reuse Facility Interim Agreement with Darigold I. REFERENCE(S): Resolution Agreement II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: The operation, maintenance, and capital improvements costs related to Pasco’s Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) are paid for through annual fees charged to each of the agricultural processors that send their wastewater to the PWRF for final treatment and disposal. City staff and consultants (FCS Group) are currently working on developing the fee structure required for the proposed PWRF Phase 3 improvements (low-rate anaerobic digester, nitrogen removal, renewable natural gas). If Darigold begins sending industrial wastewater to the PWRF prior to the proposed Phase 3 PWRF improvements being completed, Darigold agrees to pay $20,410.00 per month for use of the existing PWRF facility. These payments will continue until the Darigold plant is fully operational, and this Interim Agreement is replaced by a permanent agreement. Darigold also agrees to pay any additional costs of the Phase 3 PWRF improvements, not to exceed $500,000.00, specifically related to the accelerated schedule necessary to meet the startup of Darigold’s plant. Costs will be determined and reviewed by both Parties as soon as said costs become available. Page 424 of 492 IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: On June 30, 2021, Darigold announced their “investment in climate-friendly modernization” with an approximate “$500 million specialized milk protein and butter plant near Pasco, WA.” “The 400,000-square-foot plant near Pasco, Washington will process approximately eight million pounds of milk a day after construction is complete in 2023.” Approximately a year before that announcement City staff began working with Darigold and the Port of Pasco to determine how best to provide utility services to Darigold’s new plant. Between then and now a lot of coordination work has been completed, a lot of data has been collected and evaluated, a lot of preliminary designs have started, and the team is now working towards final design of numerous supporting facilities including water supply, sanitary sewer collection, and industrial wastewater treatment. The treatment of Darigold’s industrial wastewater is significant as there are two wastewater streams: condensate of whey (COW water) and industrial wastewater. Each wastewater stream has different levels of constituents that require treatment and disposal. Through the incredible work of City staff, existing agricultural Processor’s staff, Darigold’s staff, several key consultants (RH2, Valley Science and Engineering, Evoqua), and two regulatory agencies (Ecology, USBR) it has been determined that both of Darigold’s wastewater streams can be successfully treated and disposed of through the proposed phase 3 improvements to Pasco’s Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF). V. DISCUSSION: While there is still much work to be done for both Darigold’s new plant and Pasco’s Phase 3 PWRF improvements, the City and Darigold have developed the attached interim agreement outlining the mutual benefit of Darigold’s industrial wastewater being treated and disposed of through Pasco’s PWRF. This interim agreement will soon be replaced with a long -term agreement addressing Darigold’s future payments to the City for the treatment and disposal of Darigold’s industrial wastewater. City staff Darigold recommends approval of the proposed Interim Agreement with Darigold, Inc. for the PWRF Phase 3 project. Page 425 of 492 Resolution: Interim Agreement. – with Darigold for the PWRF - 1 RESOLUTION NO. _______ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN INTERIM AGREEMENT WITH DARIGOLD, INC., FOR THE PROCESS WATER REUSE FACILITY (PWRF) PHASE 3 PROJECT . WHEREAS, the City owns, operates, and maintains a WA State Department of Ecology Ecology”)-approved Process Water Reuse Facility (“PWRF”) and 14 nearby City -owned farm circles for the final treatment and disposal of over 900 million gallons of industrial wastewa ter from several local agricultural processing plants; and WHEREAS, Darigold plans to build a large butter and protein powder processing plant currently scheduled to begin ramping up operation of the plant beginning February 2024 and be operational by July 2024; and WHEREAS, the City has need to upgrade and increase treatment capacity of the PWRF, increase winter storage pond capacity, and increase the land treatment system to accommodate the treatment of Darigold’s two wastewater streams along with the increased growth in Pasco’s agricultural processing market; and WHEREAS, the City and a Developer plan to design and build two anaerobic digesters, a biological nitrogen removal system, and a renewable natural gas (“RNG”) plant (hereinafter referred to as the ‘Project’) that would pretreat Darigold’s wastewater prior to being disposed of via irrigation to said farm circles, and the value associated with the sale of RNG will likely help reduce Darigold’s financial obligation related to the cost for treatment and disposal of their wastewater streams; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that the anaerobic digesters, biological nitrogen removal system, and RNG plant are the preferred methods to pretreat Darigold’s wastewater prior to final disposal; and WHEREAS, this Interim Agreement is legally binding and shall be in full force and effect until replaced with a long-term agreement addressing Darigold’s future payments to the City for the treatment and disposal of Darigold’s industrial wastewater; and WHEREAS, Darigold and the City agree, based upon the Parties’ representations, it is in the interest of both Parties to enter into this Interim Agreement for the mutual benefit of both Parties.

HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Project was divided into two phases by City Council action at the January 4, 2016 meeting. This split was requested by the Benton Franklin Council of Governments (BFCOG) due to Surface Page 431 of 492 Transportation Program funding considerations regarding the construction timeline and right-of-way needs. Phase 1 consisted of 11 signalized intersections that had no right-of-way impacts and was constructed in 2018. Phase 2 included the remaining 21 signalized intersections that required right-of-way acquisition. Phase 2 originally opened bids in October of 2021. However, the lowest of 2 bids received offundingaleftgapmillion, $5.6approximatelywas which approximately $2.5 million. Faced with this shortfall, the City worked with the Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to re-scope the project with a base bid of 12 signalized intersections and 3 added signalized intersections. Phase 3 of the project was created to include the remaining 6 signalized intersections plus whatever alternates were not awarded as part of Phase 2. V. DISCUSSION: The project was advertised for bids on July 15 & July 22, 2022. On August 18, 2022 bids were publicly opened. A total of one (1) bid was received. The lowest responsible bidder is Apollo, Inc. of Pasco, WA in the amount $5,221,082.50, with all three added intersections. The Engineer's Estimate is $4,362,857.60, with all three added intersections. Because the bids with all three added intersections fundinexceededtotaltheavailable reocmmendsCitytheg, awarding only the base bid of $4,313,512.00, of which the Engineer's Estimate was $3,526,096.00. Re-bidding the project a third time was considered but is not recommended. An additional re-bid adds risk related to project including : 1) the potential lose of federal funding as the deadline to utilize those funds expires soon, 2) material prices are not expected to decrease any time soon, and 3) the urgent need for these improvements in the City's traffic signal network. Staff completed the review of the bid submittal and found no exemptions or irregularities. Staff recommends award of the base bid of the contract to Apollo, Inc. of Pasco, WA in the amount of $4,313,512.00.

REFERENCE(S): Resolution Change Order No. 3 Description of Cost Breakdown II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: Original Agreement - Phase 1 $388,691.76 Approved Change Order No. 1 (early pipe procurement) $608,373.89 Approved Change Order No. 2 (time extension only) $0.00 Change Order No. 3 (proposed) $5,402,098.04 New Agreement Total $6,399,163.69 This project is funded through a $10M Public Works Board low-interest loan and Water Utility Rates. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The City of Pasco (City) needs additional storage in the north Pasco area (Zone 3) for future development and growth in that area. The City received state approval to use the Progressive Design-Build (PDB) process for this project. The City’s primary objective in utilizing the Design-Build procurement approach was to bring the best available design and construction experience and expertise Page 438 of 492 together to successfully meet the unique challenges presented by this project and meet a tighter completion schedule. The selected Design-Build Team (DBT) is expected to enter into a series of agreements with the City with a final contract goal of determining a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) within which the remainder of the project is completed. Council approved the Phase 1 Agreement with T Bailey, Inc. for this project on November 1, 2021 . As part of Phase 1 the project team identified various scopes of work that will be affected by winter weather conditions which could ultimately delay the overall timeline for the completion of the project. While accommodations can be made to conduct various aspects of this work during winter conditions, the increased financial impacts make these accommodations impractical. On the other hand, should the DBT wait until after the upcoming winter to begin construction, there would be a negative impact on the overall schedule as well as the project budget. This potential delay in schedule is counterproductive to the City’s need to accommodate planned developments. The proposed site and concrete foundation work for the reservoir is considered a viable option to offset potential delays in the schedule that will likely be experienced should this work be delayed. V. DISCUSSION: The DBT and City staff negotiated Change Order No. 3 (CO No. 3) for the early site and foundation work. With proposed CO No. 3, the DBT will begin preliminary site work including establishing clearing limits, implementing temporary sediment and erosion controls, initial grading, foundation excavation, installation of utilities and appurtenances located in and under the foundation, and construction of the concrete footings and ring wall. Additionally, the steel market is experiencing high volatility and augmented lead times. Therefore, CO#3 also includes the advanced acquisition of raw steel for the fabrication of the tank. The DBT has been monitoring the market fluctuations and recommends the ability to act quickly in placing the order for steel to secure low prices. CO No. 3 authorizes the purchase of the steel material to take advantage of optimum prices. This change order represents a partial GMP and precedes the completion of a full GMP for the project. Delaying the beginning of early site work until a full GMP is agreed upon would hinder the ability to have the reservoir operational in time to meet the projected increase in demands. Risks associated with the change Page 439 of 492 order are minimized by the contract having a “true-cost-plus-fee” structure, with the contractor’s profit margin specifically defined. The DBT continues to work on the developing the full GMP the rest of the project. Staff is optimistic that a full GMP will be reached prior to the completion of the work covered by CO No. 3. Thus, the DBT will continue construction on the project with no interruptions. An independent cost estimate was developed for comparative purposes during GMP negotiations and to ratify the reasonableness of the proposed CO No. 3 costs. Staff recommends execution of Change Order No. 3 to the Agreement with T Bailey, Inc. for the Water Storage Reservoir Zone 3 Progressive Design Build in the amount of $5,402,098.04 Page 440 of 492 Resolution – Change Order No. 3 to DBIA Agreement with T Bailey, Inc Water Storage Reservoir Zone 3 Progressive Design Build project - 1 RESOLUTION NO. _______ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE CHANGE ORDER NO. 3 TO THE DESIGN BUILD INSTITUTE OF AMERICA (DBIA) PHASE 1 AGREEMENT WITH T BAILEY, INC.

It is the primary governmental fund of the City and reflects all revenues and expenditures not accounted for in another fund. The administration provides quarterly reports to Council for other funds. In the past, staff has provided a General Fund report 2-3 months in arrears due to the timing of receipt of various taxes. However, with the change in format to include staff projections eliminates the need to wait until taxes are receipted. Moving forward, this change will allow the General Fund report to be provided immediately following the month, barring operational constraints. V. DISCUSSION: Access to State of Washington reporting data for sales tax revenue was in process in conjunction with report creation. Depending upon timing of access, sharing of sales tax data may be slightly delayed from the regular schedule.

Quarterly Financial Report / Page 2 There are various economic factors that reflect the community's economic health and subsequently impact the vitality of the General Fund. One such factor is permit activity. It demonstrates not only the growth and attractiveness of the community but also increased revenue from building-related sales tax activity. The table above reflects year-to-date activity for the years 2021 and 2022. All permitted activity in the City is included in these totals whether a small or large scale improvement or new construction. In comparing the totals through July of the two years, the total permitted values are very similar. The total permit value for close of business 2021 was $576 million. Depending upon the timing of permit issuance for larger projects, the City could meet or exceed the 2021 value. An increase in commercial permit activity bodes well for the City. The addition of new commercial enterprise as well as the investment of existing commercial ventures are positive additions to the community that provide an increased economic base to generate improved sales tax revenues. In the past, City of Pasco residents have spent their income outside of the community, resulting in the City losing out on significant sales tax revenue. Finally, the number of active business licenses at the end of the month July was 4,835. It is important to note that due to the pandemic, there has been a significant shift in operations for the City and the Department of Revenue (DOR). Both entities have not been pursuing delinquent business licenses and this number could change as the normal process is resumed. Year to Date Page 483 of 492 The sales tax rate for the City of Pasco residents is 8.7%. The City government receives a share of Regular and Optional sales tax (1%), Criminal Justice (0.1%), and Public Safety (0.3%). Taxes that make up the majority of the 8.7% rate are distributed to the State and to Franklin County. The City receives 85% of the 1% Regular and Optional sales tax. Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales tax is distributed to the City by Franklin County based on different distribution methods prescribed by State of Washington laws and weighted by population. Growth in the commercial base of the City is providing residents the opportunity to spend their income within the community, resulting in City's ability to provide services at affordable rates in the future. Similarly, in a landmark case known as South Dakota v. Wayfair, Supreme Court decided that retail businesses no longer had to have a physical presence in a state to be potentially liable to collect state sales taxes. The enactment of this law coupled with increased online purchasing has helped the City meet and exceed its revenue goals. The City also benefitted from construction sales tax generated from major permitting activities, especially construction by large commercial and industrial partners. These taxes are one-time in nature but the City anticipates more of these projects to help increase its sales tax base for the next 2-4 years. Sales Tax Annual Financial Report / Page 3 Page 484 of 492 The City charges 8.5% on utilities like electric, water, sewer, natural gas, telephone, industrial, garbage, reuse facility, and stormwater services. The adjoining graph shows the activity in utility taxes over the last four years. Utility taxes based on consumption, like water or electric sales, are influenced by weather and energy-efficient technology. This category does not always grow proportionally with population growth. Utility tax makes up the third-largest tax revenue for the General Fund. Utility Tax Annual Financial Report / Page 4 Sales Tax Regular and Optional Sales Tax The sales tax for 2021 at $18.6 million, an increase of 24% over the prior year. Staff is estimating close to $20 million in sales taxes for 2022. There is a two-month delay in the distribution of sales tax from the time of purchase. As the impact of inflation increases sales cost, inflation initially increases sales tax revenue. However, the long term effect of higher costs and thereby, less discretionary income for residents has the potential to negatively impact economic activity. The graph above shows the significant growth in sales taxes over the last four years. To see the breakdown of sales taxes by industry please visit Financial Dashboard. Public Safety and Criminal Justice Sales Tax Public Safety and Criminal Justice sales tax follow the same trend as Regular and Optional sales tax. However, these taxes are allocated to cities on a per capita basis and changes in population pattern could affect the City's portion. Staff projects $3.7 million in sales for the year 2022.

Revenue receipt for the same period is 76%. While the actual receipts are less than the targeted amount, this difference is mainly due to the timing of receipt of taxes, as well as sale of assets. Staff anticipates all budgeted revenue to be received, by the end of the year. Also anticipated is an increase of the budgeted amount for sales taxes as well as licenses and permits. These changes will be presented to Council during the supplemental budget process based on the most available information. Intergovernmental funds are mainly related to grants and do not follow a linear spending trajectory. General Fund provides subsidies and transfers to other funds or fund capital projects. Miscellaneous revenue is mainly under target due to the timing of an anticipated sale of assets. Debt principal payments received are representative of interfund loan repayment tied to Local Improvement District 150, Chapel Hill. The speed of repayment is influenced by house sales.

The spend rate for the same period is 75%. Transfers and Subsidy category is at a higher than 54% target spent rate due to the large transfer of $12 million authorized by Council to Economic Development fund for the purchase of land. The Debt Principal category is also higher than anticipated due to support for Local Improvement District 151, Northwest Area Sewer LID, via an interfund loan. No variance is expected at this time.

Page 488 of 492 Annual Financial Report / Page 8 Financial Outlook Before any consideration of potential supplemental budget adjustments, planned activity in this biennium was to result in a net deficit of approximately $14 million. The timing of construction activity related to large construction projects have positively affected construction sales tax and permitting revenues. While any deficit is an area of concern; the remaining remaining deficit of approximately $4 million is covered by reserves that include prior years' surpluses and LTGO Bond proceeds. The General Fund reserve at year end is anticipated to be approximately $30 million. The City's long-term strategy is to build reserves over the years to fund capital projects and make large purchases. This fund might have to support upcoming capital projects like the Community Center, Public Safety facilities, and additional staff to meet the needs of our rapidly growing city. Reserves currently exist to withstand this deficit. We anticipate growth in the City's revenue streams through one-time and increased economic base to assist the City in growing the reserves faster in the future.
