New Business:
A. Regional Aquatics Facility Show and Tell
Mr. Watkins reported on his recent visits to peer aquatic facilities within Washington State. He
toured both the Lynnwood Recreation Center and Snohomish Aquatic Center in late October
and early November 2022. He gave a PowerPoint presentation of both facilities, which
included photos, statistics, and lessons learned when building each facility. Other facilities he
visited included: North Clackamas Aquatic Center, Boardman Pool & Recreation Center,
YMCA & Yakima Rotary Aquatic Center and Great Wolf Lodge, Vancouver, WA. Even
though he did not visit it, Mr. Watkins also commented on the Slidewaters Water Park, located
in Chelan, WA, which is an outdoor park with some interesting amenities.
PPFD Board discussion ensued with Mr. Watkins regarding the two facilities he toured and
how that would work for the Pasco Aquatic Facility.
Other Business:
A. Suggestions for PPFD Board Committees
Mr. Watkins suggested that the PPFD Board consider capitalizing on their own talents, skill
sets, availability, and/or interests to divide up the work of the Board in the coming year by
creating committees.
Mr. Watkins suggested that the first two committees needed could be a Finance Committee
and a Design/Construction Committee. Also needed is a Public Ambassador(s) for Outreach.
Mr. Watkins stated that he would summarize the set of governing principles for the committees
in writing and provide them to the PPFD Board for consideration.
The PPFD Board, Mr. Watkins, and Mr. Ferguson discussed various aspects of the proposed
committees.

C. Resource Cataloging and Planning
Mr. Watkins asked the PPFD Board if they would like to receive an update from Steve Nolen.
Mr. Nolen had provided the previous sales tax project, debt service, cashflow and financial
analysis for the Aquatic Facility project. The PPFD Board agreed that an update is needed at
this time.
Mr. Morrissette asked that Mr. Nolen provide information on when Phase 2 of the project could
reasonably start. Also, Mr. Morrissette asked that it be presented in an Executive Summary
format if possible.
Mr. Watkins also discussed local resources that may provide conceptual drawings of the
aquatic facility.
Mr. Morrissette asked Mr. Ferguson if the PPFD was able to choose any of the four Contract
types. Mr. Ferguson responded that the PPFD project is considered a public works project and
it will need to follow the Revised Code of Washington State (RCW) specific to public works
projects, and the Design -Bid -Build is the default project delivery contract model.
Mr. Watkins listed items that will be addressed soon, and the December Meeting will focus on
finances.
The January meeting will include:
• Steve Nolen's Report
• Owners Representative Onboard
• Public Outreach Planning
• Bonding Requirements
• Elections of PPFD Board Officers
• Presentation to City Council
Mr. Morrissette distributed a letter from the Washington Department of Revenue mailed to local
businesses regarding the Local Sales Tax change effective January 2023.
Ms. Gillespie asked if Mr. Watkins has Microsoft Project software installed yet. The construction
schedule needs to be updated as it is currently unrealistic.

There being no other further business, the meeting adjourned at 5:24 PM.
