and encouraging tourist expansion, and has done so for as far back as 1972.
Visit Tri-Cities administers the operation of what is known as the Tri-City
Regional Tourism Promotion Area (TPA), which was formed by an interlocal
agreement (ILA) among the Cities of Pasco, Kennewick, and Richland in June
2004. The TPA administers the proceeds of a "per room night assessment" on
hotels/motels in the Tri-Cities, imposed by the hotels themselves and Visit Tri-
Cities oversees its marketing plan and operating budget.
The TPA "assessment" is remitted by the hotels to the State. Washington
Page 25 of 268
State, in turn, distributes those funds to the city in which it was collected. Pasco
City Council's approval of the funds to the TPA are in accordance with an
approved budget, which is a requirement.
V. DISCUSSION:
Visit Tri-Cities President & CEO Kevin Lewis provided a cover letter and the
2025 TPA Marketing Plan and Operating Budget to City Council, as
recommended by the Tri-City Regional Hotel/Motel Commission (TCRHMC),

Mr. Adam Lincoln
City of Pasco
525 N. 3rd Avenue
Pasco, WA 99301
Dear Mr. Lincoln,
On behalf of the Tri-City Regional Hotel-Motel Commission, we are pleased to present the 2025 Tri-
City Regional Hotel-Motel Commission Budget and Marketing Plan for approval by the Pasco City
Council.
In previous years, Visit Tri-Cities has presented the plan in-person at a City Council Meeting. We
appreciate the opportunity to have face-to-face time with city leaders, but we also recognize how
valuable your time is. In talking with city staff recently we recognize there are a number of pressing
topics the council is currently involved with and scheduling time at council meetings has been
challenging. With that in mind, we can forego the presentation this year if it would help lighten your
meeting agenda.
Enclosed with this letter is a full copy of the report, with an executive summary on the next page
outlining the purpose, timeline, and key components. Please feel free to reach out if you have any
questions or need further clarification on any part of the report. Additionally, please let us know if
you would prefer to schedule a presentation, or if you are comfortable with proceeding without one.
Thank you for your ongoing support of the Tri-City Regional Tourism Promotion Area. It has been
an extremely successful regional collaboration that has greatly enhanced the destination marketing
impact for the Tri-Cities.
Sincerely,
Kevin Lewis
President & CEO

INTRODUCTION
Visit Tri-Cities is a 501c6 organization whose contracted
purpose is to foster tourism, support local businesses, and
promote economic growth within the Tri-Cities region. Visit
Tri-Cities, (VTC) is supported by the Tri-City Regional Hotel
Motel Commission which was created in 2004. Through an
interlocal agreement between the Cities of Kennewick, Pasco,
and Richland, and the lodging properties within those cities,
VTC was designated as the unified authority to strategically
coordinate promotion and development of the destination.
Funding is provided through a Tourism Promotion Assessment,
(TPA) which currently collects $3 for each night a guest stays in
a hotel. As detailed in the agreement, TPA funds are designed
to supplement, not replace, other VTC funding sources such as
lodging tax and membership dues.
As a crucial player in economic development, VTC utilizes
TPA revenues to promote the destination and ensure that
visitors experience the best our cities have to offer while
also bolstering the overall prosperity of the community. By
bringing together resources from the three cities, VTC creates a
strong collaborative platform, allowing us to brand and market
the region effectively and attract a diverse range of tourists.
In 2025, TPA revenues are projected to reach approximately
$2.3 million. These funds are put to judicious use to fuel
transformational growth in the Tri-Cities. Five strategic pillars
guide the work of the organization: Strategic Sales, Effective
Marketing, Collaborative Destination Development, Proactive
Community Engagement, and Innovative and Meaningful
Operations. These pillars encompass a wide array of endeavors
including group sales initiatives, destination marketing and
public relation campaigns, infrastructure development,
hospitality training programs, and collaborative efforts to
facilitate meetings, sports, and events that draw tourists
throughout the year. Within the annual TPA budget, a Tourism
Opportunity Fund has been established to ensure funds
are available to support and incentivize key events to book
their business here. Before being granted, recommended
incentives are reviewed and approved by the Hotel-Motel
Commissioners based on the number of hotel rooms each
event books in the area. Incentive funds are paid out after
successful completion of each event. Additional TPA revenues
are allocated to conduct research and collect valuable data to
better understand visitor trends and preferences, enabling VTC
to make informed decisions for the continuous improvement
in our promotional efforts and tourism offerings.
The Tri-City Regional Hotel-Motel Commission stands as a vital
force in enhancing the economic viability of our communities.
Driving our region’s tourism sector forward yields numerous
benefits for residents, businesses, and visitors alike. The
following pages outline the TPA budget and marketing plan to
demonstrate how these funds will be utilized in 2025.

TOURISM 2025
National Outlook
The U.S. travel and hotel industry is facing a more cautious outlook for domestic travel in 2025 as economic uncertainty and
inflationary pressures continue to temper the pace of travel. In an update to the June 2024 STR report, industry leaders made
significant downward adjustments to the 2024-25 U.S. Hotel Forecasts. The revisions forecast modest growth in occupancy, ADR,
and RevPAR.
5
OCCUPANCY LEVELS
The 2025 forecast maintains
a slight growth projection for
occupancy, which is expected to
reach an average of 63%
nationwide, despite a
downgraded outlook for the
second half of 2024.
AVERAGE DAILY
RATES (ADR):
The ADR growth forecast for
2025 has been revised
downwards by 0.8 percentage
points, reflecting a tempered
expectation of price increases.
REVENUE PER AVAILABLE
ROOM (REVPAR):
RevPAR projections for 2025
have also been adjusted
downward by 0.9 percentage
points, indicating a more
conservative growth outlook.
Leaders say the downgrade in 2024 projections was driven by
softer-than-expected demand and higher-than-anticipated
inflation. Amanda Hite, President of STR, commented, “The
increased cost of living is affecting lower-to-middle income
households and their ability to travel, thus lessening demand
for hotels in the lower price tier. Travel remains a priority for
most Americans, but the volume has lessened as prices on
goods and services continue to rise.”
While economic challenges like inflation and high interest rates
are expected to continue influencing traveler sentiment and
spending, the overall desire to travel remains strong. As the
economic environment stabilizes, moderate growth in travel
demand is anticipated, supported by the continued rebound of
group and business travel
Overall, leaders remain cautiously optimistic about a gradual
recovery through 2025.

Local Outlook
Based on market conditions, the transition to 2024 came with
a conservative but hopeful outlook. Over the first six months,
significant inflationary pressures continue to hamper growth
in visitation, and despite excellent lead generation and strong
group bookings, overall, key indicators remain relatively flat.
True to the forecast, year-over-year hotel occupancy in the
Tri-Cities has been consistent with 2023 levels. By comparison,
occupancy levels in Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland were
some of the highest in the state over the first six months
of 2024. Revenue per available room (RevPAR) grew by
3.6% - significantly softer than the sharp increase RevPAR seen
in 2023. We expect a similar trend will continue into 2025.
Indicators show the U.S. meetings, conventions, and events
market is poised for growth in 2024-2025. The industry is
experiencing a nice recovery with increasing in-person event
attendance and the reestablishment of sequestered events.
Key indicators suggest a positive and optimistic outlook among
meeting professionals, who expect a rise in both activity and
spending.
Locally, we’ve seen increased activity from meeting and event
planners in 2024. Through June our sales teams nearly doubled
the number of RFPs submitted for meetings and events,
while nearly equaling the number of booked events during
the same period. We continue to see growth in some of our
larger conventions such as the WA State Potato Commission
and the WA State Tree Fruit Association and we are anxiously
anticipating the expansion project at Three Rivers Convention
Center to service this need.

TOURISM 2025
Local Outlook (cont.)
Stiff competition in the sports events market keeps us on
our toes, but we’ve been successful in maintaining our core
events like National Softball Association of WA and WIAA
State Championships while adding a few important signature
events to our portfolio. We are excited to present the first-ever
IRONMAN 70.3 event in the Tri-Cities in late September of 2024.
The event reached “sold out” status in mid-July with more than
3,000 athletes from 45 states and 20 countries registered. Our
team is thrilled with the community support we’ve received
to help facilitate such a meaningful undertaking. As we look
ahead, progress on improving the sports related venues in our
communities will continue to be a priority for us in order to
maintain and grow this market.
Although there has been some improvement in filling
workforce needs, labor shortages continue to stress the travel
and hospitality industry. Labor shortages present a significant
challenge to service providers in our area and workforce needs
continue to grow with several large projects on the horizon.
There has been some slowing in population growth rates in
Benton and Franklin Counties. Growth rates are now only
slightly outpacing growth in Washington State.
In general, business development remains strong with a few
notable hospitality related projects in the works. One of the
most exciting is a 130-thousand square foot expansion of the
Three Rivers Convention Center that includes 60-thousand
square feet of column-free exhibit space. This expansion
will provide new opportunities for large-scale sports events,
conventions, and trade shows. Groundbreaking is slated for
December 2024 with an anticipated completion date in the
summer of 2026.
The Convention Center expansion coincides with construction
of an adjacent Marriott AC hotel developed by A1 Pearl
Development Group. The Marriott will have 156 rooms,
additional meeting space and a roof-top restaurant (Walla
Walla Steak Company). Anticipated completion is Q3 of 2026.
Home2 by Hilton will break ground on a new 107 rooms
airport property in Q1 2025. Other projects already underway
include construction of the new 126 room LivAway Suites
and renovations at the historic Clover Island Inn which was
purchased earlier this year. After renovations it will become
a Hilton Spark property – one of Hilton’s premium economy
style properties.
On the recreation side, Quake Family Fun Park opened in late
summer of 2023 and Pasco Public Facilities District is moving
rapidly with the new Aquatic Center. Groundbreaking for the
Aquatic Center is projected groundbreaking later this year with
anticipated completion of phase one in Q1 of 2026.
At the airport, the Port of Pasco announced new daily flights to
Phoenix in February, 2024. Alaska Airlines is adding a flight to
Los Angeles (LAX), and work continues to recruit, initiate, and
support potential new air service to Dallas.

PUBLIC RELATIONS & MEDIA RELATIONS
Public relations (PR) and media relations are vital to our marketing
efforts, playing a key role in shaping the narrative and image of the
Tri-Cities. In today’s digital age, where information spreads rapidly,
effective PR strategies are essential for promoting the Tri-Cities,
highlighting our unique offerings and experience categories. We
will be incorporating more influencer and group FAMs in 2025.
SOCIAL MEDIA
Organic social media marketing is ever-changing due to constantly
evolving algorithms, shifting user behaviors, and emerging
platforms. To stay relevant and ahead of the game, we are
continuously monitoring trends and adapting our strategies. This
includes regularly updating our content to reflect current interests,
engaging with our audience through interactive posts and stories,
and leveraging new features introduced by platforms. This year, we
launched a strategic partnership with Sprout Social, enabling us to
streamline our social media content management and gain deeper
insights into its effectiveness, allowing us to engage our audience
more efficiently and drive impactful results.
STORYTELLING
Storytelling humanizes our destination and introduces the amazing
people and places in our community. People connect with stories
because they provide context, emotion and empathy. This year,
our storytelling efforts are powerfully showcased across multiple
platforms, including the 2024 Annual Visitors Guide, our engaging
blogs, dynamic social media channels, and our enhanced website.
TECHNOLOGY
Technology enables data-driven decision making, allowing us
to collect and analyze vast amounts of data for insights into
visitor behavior and trends. In 2024 we introduced several new
technology partners including Sprout Social, Datafy Digital and
Wander Maps. Wander Maps provides interactive digital mapping
service on our website enabling users to create itineraries, share
them with others, click on points of interest, and zoom and pan for
a more immersive experience. By incorporating this solution into
our website, we enhance the user experience and receive valuable
map analyticsand improved location-based marketing capabilities.
WEBSITE
In 2024 we are conducting a full-scale update and relaunch of our
website. The website redesign features several key enhancements,
including seamless English-to-Spanish translation, a more intuitive
and user-friendly navigation that guides visitors effortlessly down
the decision making funnel, and the addition of striking hero
images that create a more organic and emotional connection with
users. The redesign also clearly communicates our destination
drivers through newly defined experience categories, all while
providing a cleaner, ad-free browsing experience. This redesign
breathes new life into our destination and makes the key
experiences in Visit Tri-Cities more appealing and accessible to our
target audiences. We will continue to analyze the user experience
and refine the website throughout the year.

PROMOTE THE DESINATION
We continue to refine our experience category strategy, and it
remains an excellent way to communicate our destination’s key
offerings. Promoting our destination to leisure travelers through
strategically aligned efforts targeting wine lovers, outdoor
enthusiasts, history and science buffs, and sun seekers is essential
for attracting visitors and showcasing the unique experiences the
Tri-Cities has to offer. We will maintain our focus on drive markets
while increasing our promotion of flight markets.
ADVERTISING
Effective tourism advertising is essential to any successful
destination marketing organization. Most of our ad spend will be
allocated to digital advertising as it offers precise targeting options,
ensuring effective use of marketing budgets. This year marked a
significant milestone in our advertising efforts, as we are now able
to accurately report on return on ad spend (ROAS) and directly
demonstrate how our marketing strategies are driving hotel room
bookings, showcasing the tangible impact of our initiatives.
DATA DRIVEN MARKETING
Data analysis is essential in modern marketing campaigns, allowing
us to leverage insights from key metrics to improve our strategies.
Analyzing this data reveals which creative assets drive engagement,
which channels offer the highest return on ad spend (ROAS) and
which messaging resonates with our target audiences. This enables
us to refine our campaigns for the best customer experiences and
the greatest return on investment. Data-driven marketing also
helps identify and eliminate wasted advertising budget, ensuring
every dollar spent has a significant impact on conversions and
destination awareness. Our data-driven marketing efforts have
taken a transformative leap forward this year. Previously limited to
soft metrics, we now leverage hard data through our partnership
with Datafy, our data and media partner. As of June, we’ve driven
an impressive 75,293 hotel room night bookings, delivering a
remarkable combined return on ad spend (ROAS) to hotels of $47
for every $1 invested in our campaigns. This success has generated
an estimated $9,856,211 in hotel-only revenue, underscoring the
powerful impact of our targeted marketing strategies.
PRINT & DIGITAL COLLATERAL
Creating compelling print and digital collateral is crucial as it
serves as the primary touchpoint for potential visitors. High-quality
publications such as our Official Tri-Cities Visitor Guide and our
data driven digital content effectively communicate the unique
attractions, experiences, and culture of our destination. These
materials help to capture the interest of travelers, providing them
with essential information and inspiring them to visit.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council October 11, 2024
TO: Adam Lincoln, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 10/21/24
FROM: Ken Roske, Police Chief
Police Department
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 4735 - Amending PMC Sections 10.31.010 and
10.31.020 Related to Automated Traffic Cameras
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No.4735, amending the Pasco Municipal
Code Sections 10.31.010 Authorized Use of Automated Traffic Safety Cameras
and 10.31.020 Notice of Infraction for Automated Traffic Control System and,
further, authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In August of 2018, the Pasco City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4392
authorizing the use of automated traffic safety cameras within the city of Pasco.
During the 2024 legislative session, the Revised Code of Washington (RCW)
defining Automated Traffic Safety Cameras was repealed. Several new RCW’s
were created to refine and as well as add to the use of Automated Traffic
Safety Cameras.
Currently, the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) defining the use of Traffic Safety
Cameras references the repealed RCW. The proposed ordinance updates the
PMC to align with the new laws and adds the new areas of enforcement.
These new areas of enforcement are hospital speed zones, public park speed
zones, school walk zones, and roadway work zones.
Prior to additional automated traffic safety cameras being added, an analysis
Page 50 of 268
must be completed as prescribed by RCW 46.63.220(3): “This analysis must
include equity considerations including the impact of the camera placement on
livability, accessibility, economics, education, and environmental health when
identifying where to locate an automated traffic safety camera. The analysis
must also show a demonstrated need for traffic cameras based on one or more
of the following in the vicinity of the proposed camera location: Travel by
vulnerable road users, evidence of vehicles speeding, rate of collisions, reports
showing near collisions, and anticipated or actual ineffectiveness of infeasibility
of other mitigation measures”.
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed amendments to the PMC were presented to Council at their
October 15, 2024, workshop.
Staff recommends amending the PMC Sections 10.31.010 Authorized Use of
Automated Traffic Safety Cameras and 10.31.020 Notice of Infraction for
Automated Traffic Control System to align with the new laws and add the new
areas of enforcement.

INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE WASHINGTON STATE INTERNET
CRIMES AGAINST CHILDREN TASK FORCE
ACTING THROUGH THE CITY
OF SEATTLE POLICE DEPARTMENT
AND
PASCO POLICE DEPARTMENT This Interagency Agreement is entered into by and between the Washington State Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (WA ICAC TF), acting through the City of Seattle Police Department and Pasco Police Department Office (Affiliate Agency) acting through its duly authorized representative.
WHEREAS, The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of Juvenile Justice and
Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) have created the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program. The mission of the national ICAC Task Force Program is to assist state, county and local law enforcement agencies in developing an effective response to technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation. This assistance encompasses digital forensic examinations, investigative techniques, specialized training, technical assistance, victim services, and prevention and community education. Due in large part to the technological aspects of these cases, the ICAC Task Force Program promotes a multi-jurisdictional, multi-agency, team approach to investigating and prosecuting ICAC cases; and
WHEREAS the ICAC Task Force Program is a national network of 61 coordinated task forces representing more than 3,500 federal, state, and local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies with each task force having an agency designated by the OJJDP as the “Lead Agency” which is the agency awarded federal funding to assist with overseeing the taskforce and supporting affiliate agencies.
WHEREAS, Seattle Police Department (SPD) has been designated by OJJDP as the “Lead Agency” to oversee the multi-jurisdictional Washington State Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force (WA ICAC TF) intended to combat crimes related to the sexual exploitation, enticement and victimization of children through the internet, online communication systems, telecommunications technology and other computer technology. SPD will use a portion of the federal funding to support and enhance the skills and
Page 66 of 268
Page 2 of 5
knowledge of the affiliate agency’s personnel through training, equipment, supplies, and technical support.
NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows: This Interagency Agreement contains ten (10) Articles.
ARTICLE I TERM OF AGREEMENT & TERMINATION This Interagency Agreement shall be effective upon date of signature and be in effect until such time as federal funding for the ICAC Task Force Program ends or the Interagency Agreement is canceled by either party upon 30 days’ written notice. The term of this Interagency Agreement shall be in effect until terminated pursuant to the provisions hereof. Either agency may cancel this agreement with (30) thirty days of written notification to the other agency. Said notification must be provided from the appropriate authorized authority within that agency. Upon receipt of the written notification the SPD will permanently remove the agency from Affiliate Agency status with the ICAC Program, which will also remove them from the National ICAC program. This removal will prohibit their attendance at trainings and/or conferences sponsored by the national program or other national taskforces.
ARTICLE II OPERATIONAL STANDARDS Affiliate Agencies agree to adhere to the ICAC Task Force Program Operational and
Investigative Standards, attached to and made part of this Agreement, as Attachment A. The undersigned law enforcement agency agrees to investigate ICAC cases within their jurisdiction and assist other jurisdictions to investigate these cases, as practical. Affiliate Agencies agree to only use authorized personnel supervised by law enforcement per their department policies and guidance within Attachment A. Violation of the ICAC Standard Operating Procedures is considered a material breach of this agreement and cause for cancellation of the affiliate agency’s affiliation with the Washington ICAC task force. Upon discovering a violation and notifying the Affiliate Agency, the SPD may cancel the contract and rescind any funding.
ARTICLE III JURISDICTION The principal sites of WA ICAC TF activities will be in the respective jurisdictional area of each Affiliate Agency. Nothing in this agreement shall otherwise limit or enhance the jurisdiction and powers normally possessed by an Affiliate Agency’s employee(s) as a member of the WA ICAC TF. Affiliate Agencies may on occasion be referred investigations that are outside of the physical boundaries of their respective municipalities due to specific needs, capabilities or expertise as identified by the WA ICAC TF Lead Agency. Affiliate Agencies agree to take these referrals and conduct appropriate investigations in conformance with the ICAC Operational Standards, investigative or operational training, and their agency policing policies.
Page 67 of 268
Page 3 of 5
ARTICLE IV EVIDENCE Seized evidence and any other related forfeiture will be handled in a manner consistent with the seizing law enforcement agency’s policies and national standards outlined in Attachment A.
ARTICLE V INSURANCE AND LIABILITY
Each Affiliate Agency shall maintain sufficient insurance coverage or a fully funded self-insurance program, approved by the State of Washington, for the protection and handling of the liabilities including injuries to persons and damage to property. Each Affiliate Agency agrees to maintain, at its own expense, insurance, or self-insurance coverage for all of its liability exposures for this Agreement and agrees to provide the City of Seattle with at least 30 days prior written notice of any material change in the Affiliate Agency’s liability coverage. The parties are responsible and liable for the acts and omissions of their own officers, agents or employees in connection with the performance of their official duties under this Agreement.
ARTICLE VI CONFIDENTIALITY The parties agree that any confidential information pertaining to investigations of WA ICAC TF will be held in the strictest confidence and will only be shared where necessary with participating WA ICAC TF members, or other law enforcement agencies, or as otherwise compelled by federal and/or state law.
ARTICLE VII COMPLIANCE WITH EQUAL OPPORTUNITY LAWS To the extent required by law, the Affiliate Agency shall comply with all applicable laws, standards, orders, rules, and regulations regarding equal employment which are applicable to the Affiliate Agency’s performance of this Interagency Agreement, including Rules of Practice for Administrative Proceeding to Enforce Equal Opportunity under Executive Order No. 11246, title 41, subtitle B, Chapter 60, part 60-30.
ARTICLE VIII GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE This Interagency Agreement is governed in all respects by applicable local, State, and Federal laws which shall supersede any provisions made in this Interagency Agreement to the contrary. Any provision effected will not negate the rest of the Interagency Agreement. If any term or condition of this Agreement is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the other terms or conditions of this Agreement. The exclusive venue is in Seattle, King County, Washington.
ARTICLE IX AMENDMENTS This Interagency Agreement can be amended or replaced in the event of new requirements under the national ICAC Task Force Program or as designated by law or other proper
Page 68 of 268
Page 4 of 5
lawful authority. No modification or amendment of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the parties hereto. The parties hereto expressly reserve the right to modify this Agreement, by mutual agreement.

Interagency Agreement with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission
(WTSC) for Traffic Safety Emphasis Patrols
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No.4511, authorizing the City Manager
to execute the interagency agreement between the Washington Traffic Safety
Commission and the City of Pasco for traffic safety emphasis patrols.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The main causes of serious injury and fatality collisions on Washington’s
roadways are driver impairment through drug and/or alcohol use, speeding,
occupant restraint mis/nonuse, and distraction. The Pasco Police Department
actively participates and works alongside the Washington Traffic Safety
Commission (WTSC) to conduct traffic enforcement mobilizations to address
impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt safety, speeding and motorcycle
safety.
Funding made available through his interagency agreement will fund High
Visibility Enforcement (HVE) and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP)
patrols to prevent impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, speeding,
and motorcycle safety. These patrols are designed to create deterrence by
increasing the expectation of citation/fire/arrest. Officers may also remove high
Page 71 of 268
risk (impaired) drivers when encountered. So together, this countermeasure
works by preventing dangerous driving behaviors and stopping those who still
decide to engage in those behaviors.
The WTSC fiscal year runs October 1, 2024 - September 30, 2025 with
$15,000 of grant project funding allocated to Pasco to conduct traffic
enforcement mobilizations as follows, $6,000 for DUI saturation patrols, $1,500
for seatbelt enforcement, $2,000 for distracted driving enforcement, and $6,000
for speed enforcement.
V. DISCUSSION:
Council and staff discussed the Interagency Agreement with the Washington
Traffic Safety Commission and the City of Pasco for traffic safety emphasis
patrols at the October 15, 2024, Council Workshop.
Staff recommends Council's approval of the proposed interagency agreement.

INTERAGENCY AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE
Washington Traffic Safety Commission
AND
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, hereinafter
referred to as “WTSC,” and __________________________________, hereinafter referred to as “SUB-RECIPIENT.”
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the authority provided to WTSC in RCW 43.59 and RCW 39.34, terms, conditions,
covenants, and performance contained herein, or attached and incorporated and made a part hereof, the parties mutually
agree as follows:
1.PURPOSE OF THE AGREEMENT:
The purpose of this Agreement is to provide funding, provided by the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT)
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and allowed under the Assistance Listings Catalog of Federal
Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number 20.600 for traffic safety grant project _______________________________________,
specifically to provide funding for the law enforcement agencies in WTSC Region ____ to conduct straight time or overtime
enforcement activities (traffic safety emphasis patrols) as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW), in support of Target Zero
priorities. The Target Zero Manager (TZM) and/or the Law Enforcement Liaison (LEL) shall coordinate the SOW with the
SUB-RECIPIENT with the goal of reducing traffic crashes.
Grant _______________________________________ was awarded to the WTSC Region ___ to support collaborative
efforts to conduct HVE activities. By signing this agreement, the SUB-RECIPIENT can seek reimbursement for straight time
or overtime for approved law enforcement activity expenses incurred as a participant in the region’s HVE grant.
2.PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
The period of performance of this Agreement shall commence upon the date of execution by both parties, but not earlier than
October 1, 2024, and remain in effect until September 30, 2025 unless terminated sooner, as provided herein.
3.SCOPE OF WORK
3.1.1 Problem ID and/or Opportunity
The main causes of serious injury and fatality collisions on Washington’s roadways are driver impairment through drug and/or
alcohol use, speeding, occupant restraint mis/nonuse, and distraction. Fatalities have increased almost 40 percent since
2019. Despite a very high seat belt use rate (greater than 90% for many years in a row), the number of unrestrained fatalities
____________________________________
Page 75 of 268
page 2 of 16
and serious injuries have increased to the highest number since before 2010. Since 2019, unrestrained fatalities have
increased over 40 percent Motorcyclists also represent a high number of injured and killed because of unsafe and poorly
trained riders and the challenges vehicle drivers face in observing motorcycles on the road.
Washington has seen a drastic decrease in proactive enforcement of traffic laws. This decrease is due to a myriad of factors,
include the COVID-19 pandemic, political actions to update laws that reduce an officer’s ability to stop drivers,
This project will fund locally coordinated enforcement mobilizations to address impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt
safety, speeding, and motorcycle safety. Funding and events will be organized by local Target Zero Managers (TZMs) & the
statewide Law Enforcement Liaison networks and their local Target Zero Task Force. These patrols will also be coordinated
with the Washington State Patrol (WSP). Target Zero Managers will establish or strengthen relationships with key WSP
district personnel to improve interagency coordination.
3.1.2 Project Purpose and Strategies
This project will fund High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP) patrols to prevent
impaired driving, distracted driving, seat belt use, speeding, and motorcycle safety.
High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP) patrols are designed to create deterrence
by increasing the expectation of a citation/fine/arrest. Officers may also remove high risk (impaired) drivers when
encountered. So together, this countermeasure works by preventing dangerous driving behaviors and stopping those who still
decide to engage in those behaviors.
Funding and events will be organized by local TZMs, LELs, and their local Target Zero Task Force. Task forces will use local
data and professional judgement to determine enforcement priorities for their jurisdictions and will schedule and plan
enforcement and outreach activities. Regional participation in the following National Campaigns is mandatory:
•Impaired driving enforcement during the Holiday DUI campaign (December 2024).
•Distracted driving enforcement during the Distracted Driving campaign (April 2025)
•Seat belt enforcement during the Click It or Ticket campaign (May 2025).
•Impaired driving enforcement during the Summer DUI campaign (August 2025).
These patrols will also be coordinated with the Washington State Patrol (WSP). Target Zero Managers will establish or
strengthen relationships with key WSP district personnel to improve interagency coordination with the WSP.
3.1.3 Requirements for National Mobilizations and Traffic Safety Enforcement Program (TSEP)
1.HVE events will be data informed; based on crash data, anecdotal evidence, and the professional judgement of task
force members. WTSC strongly believes in the expertise of local officers to understand the highest priority areas in
their communities to focus their efforts.
2.The SUB-RECIPIENT will ensure that all officers participating in these patrols are BAC certified and have received
and passed the SFST refresher training.
3.SUB-RECIPIENT will ensure all officers participating in Impaired Driving patrols have also received Advanced
Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) training.
4.SUB-RECIPIENT shall ensure all participating personnel will use the WEMS system provided by the WTSC to record
all activities in digital activity logs conducted by their commissioned officers pursuant to the HVE events. Participating
officers will fill out all applicable fields of the digital activity log and use the comments field to provide details on
irregularities, challenges or other details that would help explain what was encountered during their shift. SUB-
RECIPIENT will also ensure all supervisors and fiscal staff have the ability to review and edit those activity logs.
Page 76 of 268
page 3 of 16
5.Activity conducted outside of the quarterly task force operational plans will not be reimbursed.
3.1.4 Project Intent and Best Practice
1.SUB-RECIPIENT is encouraged to help their Region Task Force fulfill the requirement to participate in the four
mandatory National Campaigns. (Holiday DUI campaign in December 2024, Distracted Driving campaign in April 2025,
Click It or Ticket campaign in May 2025, and Summer DUI campaign in August 2025).
NOTE: Agencies must participate in speed or impaired driving enforcement under this agreement to be eligible to
receive funding under the WASPC equipment grant.
2.SUB-RECIPIENT is strongly encouraged to participate in their task force to plan and execute enforcement events.
3.Regional task force will be submitting quarterly operational plans and SUB-RECIPIENT is encouraged to participate to
the fullest extent possible. Quarterly operational plans are due October 15, December 15, March 15, and June 15.
4.WTSC encourages participating officers to prioritize violations that directly contribute to the injury and death of road
users, such as impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, non-restraint, etc.
5.SUB-RECIPIENT should promote patrol events through all earned, owned and, if funded, paid media that is available
so that the public is made aware of the event before, during, and after the enforcement takes place. It is best practice
to translate messages as needed and invite local media involvement in the effort to reach communities in which HVE
will occur.
6.SUB-RECIPIENT should strive to actively enforce traffic safety laws focused on collision causing behaviors in priority
areas throughout the year outside of HVE events.
7.When participating in motorcycle patrols SUB-RECIPIENT should focus on the illegal and unsafe driving actions of all
motor vehicles interacting with motorcycles. This includes speeding, failure to yield to a motorcycle, following too
closely to a motorcycle, distracted driving, etc.
8.When participating in motorcycle patrols SUB-RECIPIENT should ensure that enforcement will focus on the illegal and
unsafe driving actions of motorcycles that are known to cause serious and fatal crashes. This includes impaired
driving, speeding, and following too closely.
9.Performance will be monitored by the regional TZM, LEL, and Task Force, as well as WTSC. WTSC reserves the right
to designate specific officers as ineligible for cost reimbursement. This will occur if an officer is determined to not have
not met the purpose/intent of this grant in multiple emphasis patrols.
10.Funds can be used to support the mentoring of officers in traffic enforcement. This can be focused on impaired
driving, or general traffic enforcement.
For DUI mentorship, WTSC has found it to be best practice to include a mix of instruction and practical experience.
The mentor should be a DRE when possible, or a highly effective DUI emphasis patrol officer with a minimum of
ARIDE training. Mentor/mentee activities will be pre-approved by the TZM or LEL after the mentee submits their
interest.
11.Community outreach/collaboration: Funds can be used to pay for traffic safety focused community outreach and
collaboration activities. The operational approach for regional community outreach and collaboration activities should
be developed at the Task Force level and be approved by the WTSC. WTSC recommends that these activities include
an opportunity for the audience to provide feedback on local traffic safety priorities and activities, which ideally will
influence the region's plan for traffic safety programming.
Page 77 of 268
page 4 of 16
In order to receive funding from this grant, agencies must participate with the regional traffic safety task force/coalition
in the planning efforts for these activities.
WTSC also encourages all law enforcement agencies in Washington to utilize WTSC's data analysis resources, such
as interactive dashboards and data from a statewide attitudinal survey, as well their regional Target Zero Manager to
identify priorities for engaging with the community.
WTSC will provide tools for documenting community collaboration activities, such as the WEMS activity log.
3.1.5 NATIONAL AND STATE-WIDE MOBILIZATIONS
Not all agencies are required to participate in all of these, however the region has committed to participate as a region in all of
these. Dates are tentative and may change when NHTSA publishes their FFY2025 mobilization calendar.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council October 16, 2024
TO: Adam Lincoln, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 10/21/24
FROM: Darcy Buckley, Finance Director
Finance
SUBJECT: Public Hearing for 2025 Ad Valorem Tax (Property Tax) and General
Fund Revenue (20 minutes)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Preliminary 2025 Levy Options
General Fund Revenue Review
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Presentation of Ad Valorem and General Fund Revenues
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The City's share of Ad Valorem (Property Tax) rate for 2025 collections is set
by Council authorization. Based on State law, the City has the option to
increase its property tax budget by the lesser of the Implicit Price Deflator (IDP)
or one percent (1%). The Implicit Price Deflator for 2025 rate setting is
calculated at 2.57%, meaning the full 1% levy increase can be assessed. The
availability of prior years' banked levy capacity for years where no levy
increase was approved can be included in the levy budget for the coming tax
year, 2025. Therefore, three options for property tax collection budget for year
2025 exist.
1. If no increase is approved, only new properties identified by Franklin
County Assessor's Office will provide additional property tax revenue in
2025.
2. If the allowance for a one percent (1%) increase is approved, additional
tax revenue of $133,149 is added to the City's revenue budget.
3. Finally, with the inclusion of the banked capacity, levy amount increases
by an additional $602,726.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The General Fund is the primary administrative and operational fund of the
City. As compared to the City-wide budget, activity recorded in the General
Page 91 of 268
Fund represents approximately a third of City revenues. Therefore, reviewing
the results of current activity is valuable for making budgetary projections and
ad valorem (property) tax decisions. While prudent to undertake this analysis,
RCW 84.55.120 also requires a public hearing be conducted on General Fund
revenue sources for the coming year’s budget, including possible increases in
the City’s property tax levy.
Following the revenue hearing, Council may pass an ordinance that authorizes
an increase in the property tax levy for the coming year, 2025. The statutory
increase in the levy is limited to the lessor of inflation, as measured by the
Implicit Price Deflator or, one percent increase. Any increase approved is
applied to the highest lawful levy to date. IPD as an economic measurement
differs from the Consumer Price Index, or CPI. Unlike the CPI, the IPD rate is
not based on a fixed basket of goods and services in a specified region.
Instead, the goods and services included in the IPD basket considers national
inputs. The rate is also influenced by consumption and investment patterns.
The IPD as of September 26, 2024 is 2.57%. Additionally, the State statutory
limit on City levy rate is $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The City of
Pasco valuation, assessed of per $1.079 $1,000 2024 for rate levy is
significantly below the statutory limit.
While property tax is a significant portion of General Fund revenue, projected
to be 17.8% of preliminary General Fund revenue the 2025-2026 Biennium,
other General Fund revenues include sales tax, utility tax, fees and charges for
services, fines and penalties, and licenses and permits. Ultimately, where one
revenue source is lower, another must be increased to make up revenue
requirements to support General Fund service provision.
Other General Fund revenue sources exist that are variable and dependent
upon are sale, property examples or events. infrequent uncertain Some
refunds, interest earnings, donations, and transfers in from other funds for
unique projects.
Those services typically viewed as governmental in nature are the same
services revenues. supported by property tax assessments and resulting
Specifically, services commonly viewed as essential government services, like
public safety services of police and fire are funded by property taxes. Property
tax revenue is a stable and reliable source to support ongoing functions like
public safety. Parks and recreation functions and City sponsored community
events also benefit from the collection of property taxes. Finally, the functions
of City administration, finance, technological support and tools, and a myriad of
other “internal services" are funded partially from the dollars provided by
property tax revenues. As outlined in the Capital Improvement Plan, other
governmental type funds, and their capital projects, benefit from support of
General Fund revenues and the funding provided by property taxes.
Page 92 of 268
Franklin County Assessor’s Office has provided values of new construction,
state assessed utility, tax increment area and assessed value figures that
make up the levy calculation.
V. DISCUSSION:
**City staff has submitted an inquiry related to preliminary assessed valuation
figures as provided by the Assessor's Office as they show reduction in
assessed valuation of existing properties by $49 million. The total assessed
valuation has still increased due to new construction. It has been a long time
since such reduction has happened and hence we have reached out to our
partners at the Assessor's Office to ensure that this valuation is accurate. Staff
will bring back any changes to Council if necessary.**
Historically, Council has evaluated property tax levy decisions based on current
and planned needs. For example, in 2018, Council determined to capture the
City’s banked levy capacity from prior years to fund capital improvements like
those undertaken at Fire Stations 83 and 84. For the years, 2019 through
2022, the assessment of a one percent levy increase was declined and the
capacity banked.
Actual and planned community growth over the past couple of years has been
robust. Growth, and related demand for services, often precedes revenue
collection when considering property tax due to the delayed recognition of new
construction.
In accordance with RCW 84.55.120, a public hearing on revenue sources for
the coming years budget, including possible increases in property tax must be
held of deadline certification tax (property tax) ad the to prior valorem
November 30th.
During budgetary planning for 2025 - 2026 biennium, the value of banked
capacity has been included in revenue projects. For clarity, the various ad
valorem assessment calculations have been included in this presentation.
Included are the results of no levy increase, a one percent increase, or the
combined increase of one percent plus recognition of banked capacity. While
the Tax (TIF) Areas Increment for include property will levy City value
collections associated with the Port of Pasco TIF area, revenue will be remitted
to the Port.
Option A: No Increase
This option declines the statutorily allowed one percent increase in the City
property tax levy. Instead, given this option, the City will bank the capacity to
levy decision this to Important future. value in additional the is the the
Page 93 of 268
consideration that the City is not able nor has oversight to ensure that its
banked capacity remains intact. Based on record-keeping of the Assessor’s
Office and Department of Revenue, it is possible that breakdown in process or
clerical error could result in a loss of formerly bank capacity. Another important
factor to consider when banking levy capacity is the impact of assessed value.
As assessed value in the City grows, the value of the banked capacity
decreases. The effect of new construction adds to the overall assessed
valuation of the City. As assessed value is the denominator by which the levy
rate is calculated, an increase serves to reduce the levy rate. More importantly,
when the City capture the banked capacity like it did in 2018, it increases
property tax for property owners by a significant amount in one year instead of
incremental increase over the years.
This estimate reflects an increase of $ 502,399 over the 2024 levy amount for
unrestricted General Fund use. This change is the product of the estimated
increase in assessed valuation primarily due to addition of newly constructed
properties in 2024. Based upon the calculation of estimated new construction
and the increased assessed valuation, the levy rate for Option A is $1.08794
per $1,000 assessed value. This new levy rate is $0.008 greater than the rate
applied in 2024.
Option B: 1% Statutory Increase
This estimate includes the addition of the one percent statutory limit, or
$133,149. The total levy amount increase with this option is estimated at
$635,549. The levy rate resulting from this calculation is $1.09838 per $1,000
assessed value. Based on this calculation, the 2025 levy rate will be $0.019
per $1,000 assessed value greater than the amount levied in 2024.
Option C: 1% Statutory Increase and Existing Banked Capacity
This estimate includes the addition of the one percent statutory limit, or
$133,149 plus recapture of banked value of $602,726. The total levy amount
increase with this option is estimated at $1.238M. The levy rate resulting from
this calculation is $1.14583 per assessed value. Based on this calculation, the
2025 levy rate will be $0.066 greater than the amount levied in 2024.
Staff will return in November requesting Council approval regarding levy
elements to set the value to be submitted to the Franklin County Assessor's
Office. In order for the Assessor to levy property taxes, the City is required to
certify property tax levies with the County no later than November 30th of each
year.

Property tax is an ad
valorem tax based on the
assessed value of real
property as determined by
the Franklin County Assessors
Office. This revenue is used
to support general
governmental purposes like
Police, Fire, and Parks and
Recreation services. Rates
are expressed in "dollars per
$1,000 of assessed value
(AV).
The Washington State
Constitution limits the annual
rate of property taxes that
may be imposed on an
individual parcel to no
greater than 1% of its true
and fair value. Hence,
property tax revenue (levy)
can be increased by the said
1%, plus any new
construction and annexation.

Revenue from sales tax is
used to support general City
services, as well as for
criminal justice and public
safety purposes. Sales tax is
the largest revenue for City's
General fund.
The majority of funds
generated by the sales tax
rate go to the state, with a
lesser percentage going to the
City of Pasco and Franklin
County. Beginning January
2023, City of Pasco sales tax
rate increased to 8.9% in
light of passage of the Pasco
Public Facilities' successful
election. City of Pasco
receives approximately 1% of
collections.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The owners of Parcel 126160129 (Short Plat 2021-08, Lot 2), property located
south of Burns Road and east of Shoreline Drive in Section 12, Township 9N,
Range 28 E.W.M., have submitted a Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation
of an area consisting of Parcel 126160129 (Short Plat 2021-08 Lot 2), Parcel
126160173, and Parcel 126160174 (Short Plat 2022-32 Lots 1 & 2) in Franklin
County, WA 99301.
The Notice of Intent has been reviewed by staff and has been determined to
Page 122 of 268
contain sufficient signatures to initiate the annexation process.
Notices of Intent are required to contain the signatures of property owners
representing at least 10 percent of the assessed value of an area proposed for
annexation. In this case, the Notice of Intent contains the signatures of owners
representing approximately 15% of the assessed value within the proposed
annexation area.
Staff has notified the Franklin County Planning and Building Department, and
Public Works Department, and the City of Pasco Public Works Department,
and Engineering Division. At the future public meeting City Council will hold to
consider this annexation, staff will likely request the area to be annexed be
modified to include the entire right-of-way of Burns Road from the northwestern
corner of Short Plat 2021-08 Lot 2 east to the point where the west line of the
southeast quarter of the southwest quarter of Section 6, Township 9N, Range
29 E.W.M. intersects the north line of the Burns Road right-of-way.
V. DISCUSSION:
The petition method of annexation is a two-step process requiring the submittal
of a Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation proceedings followed at a later
date by consideration of an actual annexation petition.
Upon receipt of a Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation - Council is
required by law to set a date to hold a public meeting to consider:
1. Whether the City will accept, reject, or geographically modify the
proposed annexation;
2. Whether it will require the simultaneous adoption of a proposed zoning
regulation; and
3. Whether it will require the assumption of all or any portion of existing
City indebtedness by the area to be annexed.
The next available date to consider commencing the annexation process is
November 4, 2024.
Following Council review of the proposed annexation and passage of a
resolution generally accepting the boundary, staff will prepare the annexation
petition.
A date will then be set for a public hearing for Council to formally consider and
decide upon the annexation request.

2025 -2026 Reduction Impacts
•Reduced intervals of reporting and slowed response to customer and
stakeholder requests
•Limited ability to meet goals and make process improvements
•Potential for gaps in knowledge surrounding new accounting
pronouncements
•Where lower staffing levels occur, risk of audit findings heightened due
spread of responsibility, as well as less time to review, research and
onsite training.
•Municipal accounting is unique. Unlike private industry, municipal
reporting requires multiple transaction measurement focuses and
basis of accounting.
•Less time to perform internal reviews and audit of transactions and
procedures

SUBJECT: Presentation Downtown Masterplan Implementation Update (10
minutes)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Presentation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Presentation - Framework Consulting will provide an update on the
implementation of the Downtown Pasco Masterplan.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 2023, the City Council via Resolution No 4292, adopted the Downtown
Pasco Master Plan, which provides a comprehensive framework to revitalize
and improve downtown Pasco through improvements in public spaces,
economic development, and enhanced community engagement. The plan aims
to create a vibrant, attractive downtown that fosters local businesses, improves
accessibility, and enhances the quality of life for residents and visitors.
The City has made significant progress in implementing key components of the
Downtown Pasco Master Plan. Major initiatives underway include:
Public Space Enhancements:
Recent code amendments approved by the City Council on August 5, 2024,
support expanded sidewalk cafés, city-operated parklets, and public space
cafés. These initiatives are designed to encourage street-level activity and
foster a more pedestrian-friendly environment.
Page 206 of 268
Mobile Vending and Food Trucks:
New guidelines for mobile vending and the development of food truck parks
were introduced to boost small businesses and create more dynamic public
spaces. These regulations are expected to increase foot traffic and increase
business and economic opportunities.
Lighting Strategy
To assist with developing a lighting strategy for downtown, City staff, along with
police, fire officials, and consultants from Framework Consulting, conducted a
Night Walk and Lighting Audit on October 9th, 2024. The walk began at
Peanuts Park and followed a designated route through downtown. The purpose
of the audit was to assess how downtown is used and perceived after dark and
explore how improved lighting can make the area more inviting and
comfortable, particularly during the darker months of the year. The results of
this audit along with continued discussions with city staff and stakeholders will
be included in a formal Downtown Lighting Strategy to be shared with City
Council and the public. Staff has also applied for a grant from Department of
Energy which helps pay for lighting equipment; staff is awaiting award decision.
Community Engagement:
The City has been actively engaging with local stakeholders, including
business owners and community groups, to ensure that the implementation of
the public A interests. and needs plan with aligns master community
engagement event was held on September 18, 2024 at Grace Kitchen. At the
event, staff and our consulting team provided an overview of various efforts
that have been completed or in-progress.
Projects In-Progress:
Several monthly underway, currently including efforts implementation are
parking data collection, the introduction of new applications for mobile vendors
and public space uses, and the development of a system to monitor the
progress of downtown initiatives. In addition to these ongoing projects, staff is
seeking input and direction on which specific items to prioritize as part of the
broader implementation effort. Key recurring topics for consideration include
lighting and safety improvements, parking management, public space
activation and programming, and continued efforts to remove barriers within
the Pasco Municipal Code.
V. DISCUSSION:
Page 207 of 268
The is Plan Master Pasco advancing the of implementation Downtown
successfully, with several key initiatives already completed and contributing to
economic growth both within and beyond the downtown area. The success of
the plan and its ongoing implementation was recognized by the American
Planning Association - Washington Chapter on October 17, 2024, when the
City of Pasco, in partnership with Framework Consulting, received an award for
Comprehensive Planning among large jurisdictions at the APA's annual
conference. This marks the first time the City of Pasco has been honored by
the American Planning Association.
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council on specific programs or projects
to prioritize as we continue our implementation efforts. Based on Council's
direction, staff will appropriately budget the funding needed to accomplish this
goal.

AGENDA REPORT

Meeting: 10/21/24
FROM: Darcy Buckley, Finance Director

SUBJECT: Irrigation Utility Revenue Requirements & Connection Charges (20
minutes)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Presentation by Brooke Tacia, FCS Group
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Irrigation Utility Rates
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City operates an irrigation utility system for over 9,000 customers. The
irrigation system is independent from the City’s potable water system. While
the irrigation and water utilities' are separate and distinct systems of capital
infrastructure, the irrigation utility benefits water system customers by limiting
demand for potable water in the summer months (for non-potable purposes:
irrigation). The operational cost to provide potable water is significantly higher
than irrigation water. Additionally, if the potable water system were expected to
meet all non-potable demands, the result would be greater capital investments.
Where water resources can be specific to intended use, customers of each
utility benefit.
Water for the utility is sourced from an intake at the Columbia River and 11 well
sites. Since the last rate study (2017), the irrigation utility customer count has
grown by approximately 25%. Common to most utilities, the irrigation system is
assessing decision making to serve existing customers, replace and upgrade
aging infrastructure and prepare for an expanding service area.
Page 240 of 268
In 2002, the City purchased an existing private irrigation system. Since then,
the irrigation service area and the system itself has been expanded alongside
the addition of new residential and commercial development. In 2018, a study
determined that system was operating supply deficiencies within the area of
service, resulting in low pressure areas and unable to expand. In response, a
series of projects and operational changes were initiated.
In 2017, completion of a revenue requirements study occurred to support
capital impact resulting The rate system and improvements expansion.
included a five-year fee increase of three (3%) per year starting in 2018 and
concluding in 2022.
V. DISCUSSION:
In 2023, the City and FCS entered a contract to conduct a revenue
requirements and connection charge analysis. The revenue requirements
the including system, utility of assessed expense all analysis elements
operations and maintenance, debt service and capital costs over the planning
horizon from 2025 - 2030. Based on this analysis a rate can be set to ensure
utility revenues are sufficient to cover the costs of operating the utility in
compliance with applicable laws and regulations, allow for payment for debt
service obligations as well as meet bond covenant requirements, and invest in
planned capital needs and system renewal. Consistent and pro-active utility
planning and appropriate rate changes necessary to support utility financial
health are also favorable viewed by bond rating agencies. A strong bond rating
makes City bonds more marketable garnering beneficial interest rates.
Also evaluated during this analysis was the establishment of an irrigation utility
connection charge. A connection charge is a one-time fee that is applied to
new system users. A connection charge represents purchase of a pro rata
share based infrastructure on system capacity of providing cost the of
investment that has already occurred or planned capacity enhancing
support cannot charges connection via collected Revenues investment.
operations and maintenance costs, but instead are accumulated to pay for new
capital projects that enlarge the system or improve capacity. Both water and
sewer utilities have existing connection charge rates that are routinely used for
capital improvements. Recently, the sewer utility’s accumulated connection
charges were assigned to improvements in Broadmoor Area in lieu of issuance
of bond debt. Without establishing connection charges for new users the full
cost of capital improvements for expansion of the system would fall on all
existing and growth reducing for paying a classic payers; rate growth
development costs challenge all municipalities face.
Tonight’s presentation will cover the process undertaken to calculate revenue
requirements on and connection charges. These are based assumptions
consistent with utility need projections and prudent fiscal policies. We are

looking for your direction on establishment of connection fees and increase in
monthly fees. It is important to note that connection fees do not have to be
charged at the level calculated ($1,468 per new connection) and can range
from $0 up to $1468. Any adjustments to the connection fees will need to be
either balanced by increased monthly fees or reduced expenses. For most
utility services, biggest drivers of rate increases are capital projects.

Overview: What Is a Connection Charge?
●One time charge imposed on new development or expanded connection to system
●Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 35.92.025 grants Cities the authority to fix rates and
charges for connecting to water & wastewater systems
●Represents a pro rata share of the cost of providing system capacity
●Based on cost of system infrastructure investment
»Allows for both existing and future costs
»May not be used to recover operation and maintenance costs
●Consists of two parts
»Existing cost basis: intends to recognize the current ratepayers’ net investment in the original cost
of the non-donated system
»Future cost basis: intends to include future facilities needed to serve growth, including regulatory
system improvements

Connection Charge Results
●Calculated maximum connection charge = $1,468 per ERU
»1 single family residence = 1 ERU
»ERU = 1.36 gallons per minute (non -residential uses calculated)
●Calculated charges are “maximum allowable”
»By policy may set below maximum allowable and / or phased-in
–Rates make up the difference
»May be adjusted annually by an accredited inflation index (e.g., ENR CCI)

Rate Forecast Comparison w/o CCs
●Revenue requirement scenario assumes connection charges are
implemented at calculated maximum in 2025
●In absence of connection charges, rate revenues will need to
increase to fund all obligations
●Rate forecast without connection charges:
»Requires $4.7M in new debt in 2026 (increase of $2.0M over baseline)
