SUBJECT: Ordinance - New PMC Section 9.80.035 Sitting, Lying on Sidewalk in
Designated Zone (4 minutes)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Propose Ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The development of the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Section 9.80.035 Sitting,
Lying on Sidewalk in Designated Zone was driven by the need to improve
accessibility, safety, and public health on city sidewalks. As pedestrian traffic
and become have walkways downtown have development increased,
congested and obstructed. To address this issue, cities across the state have
enacted similar measures to ensure that sidewalks can accommodate safe
pedestrian passage and public activities. This ordinance aims to keep
sidewalks functional while supporting various public uses.
The specific provisions of PMC Section 9.80.035 include a general prohibition
against sitting or lying on sidewalks in designated high-traffic zones between
the hours of 6 AM. and midnight. This rule extends to sitting on any objects
placed on the sidewalks, such as chairs or blankets, and includes all sidewalk
fixtures at all times, regardless of the hour. Notably, the ordinance outlines
exceptions for individuals due to medical emergencies, disabilities, participation
in or operation of permitted events, and other scenarios where sitting might be
necessary or permissible. Enforcement is designed to be reasonable, requiring
that individuals are first informed by law enforcement and given an opportunity
Page 21 of 51
to comply before any legal action is taken.
The ordinance considers the needs and rights of all City residents, including
those with disabilities and other conditions that might require exceptions to the
rule. By clearly defining exceptions and enforcement protocols, the ordinance
aims to balance regulation and respect for individual circumstances, thus
fostering a safe environment for residents and visitors.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff will present the proposed Ordinance adding Section 9.80.035 Sitting,
Lying on Sidewalks in Designated Zone, for inclusion in the PMC and will be
available to answer any questions.

Traffic Systems, Inc. for Photo Enforcement Program (5 minutes)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Resolution
First Amendment to Photo Enforcement Program Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On August 8, 2018, Pasco City Council approved the use of electronic traffic
control on two intersections in the City of Pasco; 20th Avenue & Court Street,
and Road 68 & Burden Boulevard. Following that decision, staff conducted a
comparative enforcement traffic electronic vendors of analysis providing
services, selected a preferred vendor and negotiated a contract for services.
Redflex Traffic Systems, Inc (Redflex) has provided electronic traffic
enforcement services since that time.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff evaluated several vendors for this project, eventually deciding to pursue
Redflex. Redflex provided a presentation to Council on how their system
works.
This system records only the rear part of the vehicle, taking several photos and
video from the time the vehicle enters the intersection for about 12 seconds. If
Page 27 of 51
a vehicle is already in the intersection when the light turns red, the camera will
not pick up on that vehicle. For right turns, the City can determine when a
violation occurs; for example the system can be set so that a vehicle does not
have to come to a full stop before proceeding through a red light for a right
turn. It can be set up to any speed threshold the City determines (i.e. 5 MPH).
Once the pre-determined threshold is met, a photo is taken it is sent to the
vendor’s system and the Police Department is notified that there is a possible
violation. A trained Pasco Police Officer then reviews the photo to determine if
a violation has occurred. Just like any traffic stop the Officer will have full
discretion to determine if the possible violation is valid and authorize a citation
or invalid and disregard the possible violation. Like in the field, the Officer will
take several factors into account including time of day, weather, number of
vehicles observed in the area, pedestrians and any other factor that the officer
feels is pertinent in making the decision. If the Officer determines there is no
violation, the information is purged. If the Officer determines a violation has
occurred the vendor is notified and an infraction notice is issued on City of
Pasco letterhead to the owner of the vehicle. The offender receives the
violation in the mail and can either pay it or contest it through Pasco Municipal
Court. If the potential violator has any questions he or she can also come to the
Police Department and discuss it with a Police Officer. The potential violator
can also view the photo and video of the potential infraction online. The vehicle
owner can also sign a waiver with the court indicating that they either do not
own the vehicle, or someone else was driving and the court can waive the
citation.
In essence, this process is no different than if the Officer stops a violator on the
road and issues a citation at that time. The only thing the vendor is doing is
providing a photo with time stamp of the potential violation but the
determination on whether it is a violation is up to the officer viewing the photo.
This process is designed to improve the safety of the traveling public and the
Officers who enforce traffic laws. It is not designed to be strictly a way to
generate revenue, but rather is a cost effective and safe way to try to improve
safety at a busy and dangerous intersection. With all other options reviewed
and the traffic at these intersection continuing to increase the need to do
something at these intersections is important.
This first amendment to the original contract is for a month-to-month period.
This will allow staff time to have a study conducted for the red light camera
program and the effects it has had on traffic safety. Once completed, this
study’s findings will be presented to Council, as well as a recommendation
concerning the red light photo enforcement program.
Staff will be prepared to answer any additional questions Council may have on
either the vendor or the contract.

Public Works
SUBJECT: Road 40 East Extension Update (3 minutes)
I. REFERENCE(S):
PowerPoint Presentation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Presenter: Maria Serra, Public Works Director
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The approved 2023-2024 budget includes an allocation of $1.33 Million for the
design, right-of-way acquisition and construction of the project.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Road 40 East Extension project was added to the Transportation
Improvement Plan (TIP) in 2022.
The project scope is the extension of the Road 40 East alignment north of the
intersection with "A" Street and effectively connecting with Lewis Place. This
new segment of the roadway would be an alternative freight route connection
between the existing industrial and commercial establishments in the vicinity of
"A" street and Road 40 East and the US 12 Highway interchange on Lewis
Street.
To this aim, City staff began right-of-way acquisition along the proposed
roadway alignment in 2022. City staff has successfully completed acquisition
on 2 parcels. The acquisition of 30 feet wide right-of-way on a third parcel at
the south end of the project, has proven challenging. Negotiations with the
property owner have been led by different offices within the City since 2022
and eventually, in late 2023, City engaged the services of a professional Right-
Page 32 of 51
of-way Acquisition consultant to aid in the process. Unfortunately, negotiations
have been unfruitful.
Considerate of the right-of-way acquisition challenges, City staff has developed
and alternative interim concept for the project:
Partial Roadway: the scope of the project would be revised to include only a
one lane roadway, with wide shoulders to allow for freight traffic to navigate the
roadway Northbound. Total project cost is estimated to be in the order of
$750,000.
V. DISCUSSION:
City Staff recommends proceeding with design and construction of a one-way
roadway extension (northbound). Design and construction would be able to be
funded with current budget allocation. This is an unusual configuration for
Pasco roadways, which may require additional outreach and education to
roadway users. A traffic analysis has been performed to assess the
performance of the intersection with this configuration and the potential impacts
to other intersections
This alternative scope of the project is being considered as a near-term
solution to alleviate traffic strain on "A" street (likely to have increased freight
volumes in the near term). Full build-out would be accomplished in the future
as development/redevelopment occurs within the corridor.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City regulates franchise agreements with telecommunications providers to
ensure safe and efficient use of public rights-of-way. Any utility provider,
including those offering communications and telecommunications services,
must obtain a franchise agreement in line with state and federal laws and the
best interests of the City’s residents.
US Cellular expressed interest in a Small Cell Wireless Facilities (SWF)
Franchise Agreement with the City in early 2019. The initial application was
incomplete and required revisions. The process shifted representatives in early
2020, and the first formal application in April 2020 was also incomplete,
necessitating further corrections. In 2021, new submissions and agreements
with Franklin PUD for pole deployments were discussed leading to a an
understanding of the specifics of the agreement that meet the applicants needs
while meeting the requirements of Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter
15.40.

V. DISCUSSION:
Given the significance of the agreement, City staff is submitting the draft
Franchise Agreement to the City Council for review and approval.

to a separate License Agreement between the Franchisee and the City, setting forth the terms and
conditions under which the Franchisee shall be permitted to do so, including but not limited to,
whether the current infrastructure is sufficient to support the structural loading, requirements for the
small wireless facility equipment, its design (in compliance with the design standards as provided
in Chapter 15.100 PMC), and its safe application for other uses of the public right-of-way.
8. Relocation. Franchisee is obligated to relocate its facilities in accordance with PMC

9. Utility-Owned Poles and Structures. The parties acknowledge that some, or all, of,
the poles or structures desired by the Franchisee to be used for the locations for its small wireless
facilities, are, or may be owned by a utility provider, or a third -party other than the City and that
Franchisee shall secure such consent for such location providing the City notice thereof including
the terms and conditions under which the Franchisee shall be permitted to so locate.
10. Indemnification and Waiver.
A. Franchisee hereby indemnifies , defends, and holds harmless the City, its officers,
boards, employees, agents and representatives from any and all claims for damages,
costs, judgments, penalties, awards or liability to any person including, but not
limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs:
(1) Arising as a result of the acts or omissions of Franchisee, its agents, servants,
officers or employees or the construction, placement, operation or maintenance
of small wireless facilities in the public right-of way except to the extent any
claim, arises out of or results from the sole negligence or willful misconduct of
City, its officers, employees, agents and representatives; or
(2) Based upon the City’s inspection or lack thereof of work performed by
Franchisee, its agents and servants, officers or employees in connection with
work authorized on the public right-of-way or property over which the City has
control pursuant to this Franchise or pursuant to any other permit or approval
issued in connection with this Franchise.
B. The provisions of Subsection A of this Section shall apply to claims by Franchisee’s
own employees and the employees of the Franchisee’s agents, representatives,
contractors, and subcontractors to which Franchisee might otherwise be immune under
Title 51 RCW. This waiver of immunity under Title 51 RCW has been mutually
negotiated by the parties hereto, and Franchisee acknowledges that the City would not
enter into this Franchise without Franchisee’s waiver thereof.
C. Inspection or acceptance by the City of any work performed by the Franchisee at the
time of completion of construction shall not be grounds for avoidance of any of these
covenants of indemnification. Provided that Franchisee has been given prior written
notice by the City of any such claim, said indemnification obligations shall extend to
claims which are not reduced to a suit.
The obligation of Franchisee under the indemnification provisions of this Section shall
apply regardless of whether liability for damages arises out of bodily injury to persons or
damages to property, except to the extent that such claims, actions, damages, costs,
expenses and attorney’s fees were caused by the sole negligence or willful misconduct
of the City. In the event that a Court of competent jurisdiction determines that this
Franchise is subject to the provisions of RCW 4.24.115, the parties agree that the
indemnity provision hereunder shall be deemed amended to conform to said statute and
liability shall be allocated as provided therein.

D. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, Franchisee assumes the risk of
loss or damage to its small wireless facilities located in the public right-of-way, and
upon City-owned property from such activities conducted by the City, its officers,
agents, employees and contractors, except to the extent any such damage or
destruction is caused by or arises from the sole negligence, willful or malicious action
on the part of the City, its officers, agents, employees or contractors. Franchisee
releases and waives any and all such claims against the City, its officers, agents,
employees or contractors. Franchisee further agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and
defend the City against any claims for damages, including, but not limited to, business
interruption damages and lost profits, brought by or under users of Franchisee’s small
wireless facilities as the result of any interruption of service due to damage or
destruction of Franchisee’s small wireless facilities caused by or arising out of activities
conducted by the City, its officers, agents, employees or contractors, except to the extent
any such damage or destruction is caused by or arises from the s o l e negligent, willful
or malicious actions on the part of the City, its offices, agents, employees or
contractors.
E. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, other than in connection
with the foregoing third party claims, indemnification and damages incurred for breach
of confidentiality, neither party shall be liable to the other for consequential, incidental,
special or indirect damages.
11. Insurance.
A. Franchisee shall maintain for so long as Franchisee has Facilities in the Rights-of-
Way, insurance against claims for injuries to persons or damages to property which
may arise from or in connection with the acts or omissions of Franchisee. The
Franchisee shall cause each and every Subcontractor to provide insurance coverage
that complies with all applicable requirements of the Franchise-provided insurance
as set forth herein, except the Franchisee shall have sole responsibility for
determining the limits of coverage required to be obtained by Subcontractors. The
Franchisee shall ensure that the City is an additional insured on each and every
Subcontractor’s Commercial General liability insurance policy using an
endorsement as least as broad as ISO CG 20 10 10 01 for ongoing operations and
CG 20 37 10 01 for completed operations. Franchisee shall maintain insurance from
insurers with a current A.M. Best rating of not less than A-. Franchisee shall provide
a copy of a certificate of insurance and additional insured endorsement (except for
workers compensation) to the City for its inspection at the time of acceptance of
this Franchise, and such insurance certificate shall evidence a policy of insurance
that includes:
(1) Automobile Liability insurance with limits of no less than $5,000,000 combined
single limit per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage.
(2) Commercial General Liability insurance, written on an occurrence basis with
Page 45 of 51
Small Cell Wireless
Facility Deployment
Franchise - 5
limits of no less than $5,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property
damage and $5,000,000 general aggregate including personal and advertising
injury, blanket contractual; premises; operations; independent contractors;
products and completed operations; and broad form property damage;
explosion, collapse and underground (XCU).
(3) Pollution liability shall be in effect throughout the entire Franchise term, with a
limit of one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence, and two million dollars
($2,000,000) in the aggregate.
(4) Workers’ Compensation coverage as required by the Industrial Insurance laws
of the State of Washington and Employer’s Liability with a limit of $1,000,000
each accident/disease/policy limit. Evidence of qualified self-insurance is
acceptable.
(5) Excess Umbrella liability policy with limits of no less than $5,000,000 per
occurrence and in the aggregate. Franchisee may use any combination of
primary and excess to meet required total limits.
B. Payment of deductible or self-insured retention shall be the sole responsibility of
Franchisee. Franchisee may utilize primary and umbrella liability insurance policies to
satisfy the insurance policy limits required in this Section. Franchisee’s umbrella
liability insurance policy shall provide “follow form” coverage over its primary liability
insurance policies or be at least as broad as such underlying policies.
C. The required insurance policies, with the exception of Workers’ Compensation, and
Employer’s Liability, and Pollution Liability obtained by Franchisee shall include the
City, its officers, officials, employees, agents, and representatives (“Additional
Insureds”), as an additional insured, with coverage at least as broad as ISO endorsement
form CG 20 26, with regard to any work or operations performed under this Franchise
or by or on behalf of the Franchisee. The coverage shall contain no special limitations
on the scope of protection afforded to the Additional Insureds. In addition, the
insurance policy shall contain a clause stating that coverage shall apply separately to
each insured against whom a claim is made, or suit is brought, except with respect to
the limits of the insurer’s liability. Franchisee shall provide to the City upon acceptance
a certificate of insurance and additional insured endorsement. Receipt by the City of
any certificate showing less coverage than required is not a waiver of Franchisee’s
obligations to fulfill the requirements. Franchisee’s required commercial general and
auto liability insurance shall be primary insurance with respect to the indemnification
obligations herein. Any insurance, self-insurance, or insurance pool coverage
maintained by the City shall be in excess of Franchisee’s required insurance and shall
not contribute with it.
D. Upon receipt of notice from its insurer(s) Franchisee shall provide the City with thirty
(30) days prior written notice of any cancellation of any insurance policy, except for
non-payment, in which case a ten (10) day notice will be provided. Franchisee shall,
Page 46 of 51
Small Cell Wireless
Facility Deployment
Franchise - 6
prior to the effective date of such cancellation, obtain replacement insurance policies
meeting the requirements of this Section. Failure to provide the insurance cancellation
notice and to furnish to the City replacement insurance policies meeting the
requirements of this Section shall be considered a material breach of this Franchise.
The City may pursue its remedies, including purchasing insurance to cover
Franchisee’s facilities at Franchisee’s expense, immediately upon a failure to furnish
replacement insurance.
E. Franchisee’s maintenance of insurance as required by this Section shall not be
construed to limit the liability of Franchisee to the coverage provided by such
insurance, or otherwise limit the City’s recourse to any remedy available at law or
equity. Further, Franchisee’s maintenance of insurance policies required by this
Franchise shall not be construed to excuse unfaithful performance by Franchisee. If
Franchisee maintains higher insurance limits than the minimums shown above, the City
shall be insured for the full available limits of Commercial General and Excess
Umbrella liability maintained by the Franchisee, irrespective of whether such limits
maintained by the Franchisee are greater than those required by this contract or whether
any certificate of insurance furnished to the City evidences limits of liability lower than
those maintained by the Franchisee.
F. The City may review all insurance limits once every three years during the Term and
may make reasonable adjustments in the limits upon thirty (30) days’ prior written
notice to and review by Franchisee. Franchisee shall then issue or provide a certificate
of insurance to the City showing compliance with these adjustments. Upon request by
the City, Franchisee shall make available for review copies of all required insurance
policies, including endorsements, required in this Franchise and evidence of all
contractors’ coverage.
12. General Provisions. For the purpose of this Agreement, time is of the essence. In the
event of a dispute regarding the enforcement, breach, default, or interpretation of this Agreement, the
designees in Section 13, or their designees, shall first meet in a good faith effort to resolve such dispute.
In the event the dispute cannot be resolved by agreement of the parties, said dispute shall be resolved
by arbitration pursuant to RCW 7.04A, as amended, with both parties waiving the right of a jury trial
upon trial de novo, with venue placed in Pasco, Franklin County, WA. This Agreement shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Washington. The prevailing party shall be entitled to its reasonable
attorney fees and costs as additional award and judgment against the other.

equipment costs, compensation or indemnification of third parties, and the cost of
removal or abandonment of facilities hereinabove described. Franchisee specifically
agrees that its failure to comply with the terms of this Section shall constitute a material
breach of this Franchise. The amount of the bond shall not be construed to limit
Franchisee's liability or to limit the City's recourse to any remedy to which the City is
otherwise entitled at law or in equity. Said bond shall be maintained at the required
level notwithstanding any use of the Bond in the interim.

and all privileges, obligations, and liabilities of Franchisee shall inure to its heirs, successors, and

granting the same has become effective. Within 30 days after the effective date of said ordinance
