Ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Motion: I move to approve Ordinance 4761, amending the 2025-2026 Biennial
Operating Budget, by providing Supplement thereto; to provide additional
appropriation in the City's General Fund, allocating funding for the addition of
three full-time employees to the City Attorney's Office and, further, authorize
publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$800,000 for 2025-2026 biennium
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
RCW 35A.13.090 requires the City to secure legal counsel either through a
“reasonable contractual arrangement” for professional services or by
appointing a full-time or part-time City Attorney.
Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) 2.15.010 states that the City Manager, with City
Council confirmation, must secure legal counsel through full-time, part-time, or
contractual professional services based on the City’s needs.
Since 2007, the City has contracted with Kerr Ferguson Law, PLLC (KFL) for
City Attorney and legal services. In September 2022, the City Council approved
Resolution No. 4255, extending the agreement with KFL until September 2024.
Under Section 2 of the agreement, the contract automatically renewed in
September 2024, extending its term until September 2026.
Page 26 of 186
In November 2024, KFL provided the City with 180 days' written notice of
termination. In response, the City Council directed staff to prepare an
ordinance establishing a City Attorney’s Office and a budget amendment to
support its implementation.
V. DISCUSSION:
Attached is an ordinance for the budget amendment and headcount needed to
provide in-house legal services.
Establishing an in-house legal team to provide comprehensive legal counsel to
the City Manager, City Council, and department directors requires significant
lead time and resources. Based on cost estimates from regional cities, the
following expenses have been identified:
Personnel (Salary & Benefits): $600,000 for one City Attorney, one
Assistant/Deputy City Attorney, and one administrative support staff.
Technology Start-Up: $30,000 for necessary software and infrastructure.
Professional Services & Operational Costs: $100,000 for specialized
outside legal counsel, case management software, training,
certifications, and equipment, with an ongoing cost of $50,000 annually.
Executive Recruitment: $50,000 for the hiring process.
Interim Legal Services: Cost to be determined based on temporary
service needs to support continuity of services.
Cost Summary
Total Start-Up Cost (full year): $780,000
Ongoing Annual Cost: $680,000
Staff is seeking approval of the ordinance.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Revenue impact unknown and variable
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City of Pasco, like many other municipalities charges different fees that are
related to development of the community. Such fees should be designed to
ensure that the costs associated with growth are borne by those who are
responsible for it whenever possible. By charging these fees, we can avoid
placing the financial burden on the general public through the general fund.
This means that the operational and regulatory costs—including permitting,
plan review, environmental review, and inspections—related to private property
development will be covered by the developers rather than taxpayers. This
approach promotes a fair distribution of costs and supports sustainable growth
in our community. For simplicity, major fees related to development can be
categories to following:
Page 31 of 186
1. Planning
2. Building Permit (within the building)
3. Impact Fees
4. Development Review (public infrastructure/non-building)
As a part of development review assessment done by Elizabeth Garvin, the
City received feedback from partners in the development community. There
were several pinch points identified: SEPA threshold, predictability of
development review fees, Traffic Impact Analysis, online application and
the feedback The timelines. from predictable and payments, project
development community has highlighted the burden of these unpredictable
fees, with developers facing fluctuating costs during the review and approval
processes.
Staff has consistently received feedback suggesting that adopting a fee
transparency, more provide cities could to similar structure neighboring
consistency, and ease of calculation for developers. These suggestions align
with the need for improved cost recovery efficiency and a less administratively
burdensome system.
This item was most recently discussed at Council Workshop Meeting on
January 27, 2025.
V. DISCUSSION:
Feedback from the development community has largely focused on concerns
related plan and reviews for Review fees, specifically Development to
inspections of public infrastructure and non-building-related project elements.
Currently, the City charges $90 for the first hour and $60 for each additional
hour of staff time for development reviews and inspections. This fee structure
creates uncertainty for developers, as the total cost remains unknown until the
work is completed. Furthermore, the final cost can vary depending on whether
the task is performed by a less experienced staff member or a highly
experienced one. The billing process itself is time-consuming for City staff,
requiring them to track project hours, prepare invoices, handle billing inquiries,
and process payments. This non-value-added administrative burden detracts
from more meaningful work of assisting our customers.
Given the complexity and variety of development projects, fee comparisons
with other jurisdictions are challenging due to differences in rate structures.
The City's primary focus is on development review fees, as they represent the
most significant concern for customers. The development community has
consistently highlighted unpredictable costs, delays, and administrative
burdens as major drawbacks of the current fee structure. These issues make
financial to lead often and difficult for unexpected planning developers
expenses and delays.
Page 32 of 186
When comparing Pasco’s fees with those of neighboring cities, such as
Kennewick, it becomes clear that the other municipalities offer more
predictable fee structures. Kennewick's fee structure, which charges 5% of
project costs for projects up to $1 million and 3% for the portion of costs
exceeding $1 million (covering 2 rounds of plan review and inspection), is
favored by developers for its simplicity and predictability. Staff anticipates that
this approach will result in the collection of more development review fees than
we have in the past. However, significant investment is needed in personnel,
tools, process on working already is Staff area. this in processes and
improvements, including online payment systems and applications, but
additional staffing is required to meet customer needs effectively. Feedback
from the development community emphasizes the importance of improving
communication and project timelines. There is a clear need for staff positions
dedicated to helping developers navigate the City's processes. State law
restricts the use of revenue generated from development fees to cover specific
development-related costs. If additional revenue materializes, reinvesting these
funds into improving processes would be transformational for staff efficiency,
morale, and customer service.
The proposed ordinance will introduce a new fee structure, which will be 5% of
project costs for projects up to $1 million and 3% for the portion of costs
exceeding $1 million. Additionally, project costs will be based on unit prices of
typical construction elements. Community & Economic Development Director
shall maintain and update this clear methodology for calculating construction
costs; a model used by many cities across Washington State. These changes
aim to streamline the fee structure, enhance transparency, and provide greater
predictability for our customers.
Staff is prepared to implement the changes and recommends the changes take
effect on March 10, 2025. Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as
presented.

Meeting: 2/18/25
FROM: Maria Serra, Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: the Understanding of Memorandum with 4568 No. *Resolution -
Washington State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation
tor and Renovation Center Community Jr. Luther Martin the King
Expansion Project (10 minutes)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Resolution
Memorandum of Understanding
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4568, authorizing the Interim City
Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the Washington
State Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation tor the Martin
Luther King Jr. Community Center Renovation and Expansion Project.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) does not require direct payment of
funds to any of the involved parties. The measures that fulfill the stipulations in
the MOU will be part of the design, renovation, and expansion efforts of the
Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center (MLK Center) and will be paid for
with the approved project funds.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City of Pasco received a direct appropriation from the Washington State
legislature Capital Budget in the amount of $980,000.00 for the Martin Luther
King Jr. Community Center Renovation and Expansion Project. These funds
are administered through the State of Washington Department of Commerce.
One of the requirements of this funding is to perform a project consultation with
the Washington State Department of Archeology and Historical Preservation
(DAHP).
Page 54 of 186
This review by DAHP was completed and DAHP found that the updating of the
MLK Center without mitigations would have an adverse effect on the eligibility
of the MLK Center for listing on the National Historic Register of Historic
Places. To help mitigate the adverse effect of the renovation and expansion
project, DAHP required the City to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) that stipulates the inclusion of items, such as murals, interpretive
displays, and artwork that speak to or celebrate the history of the MLK Center,
into the design of the project. The MOU further states DAHP will have the
authority to review and accept/reject the proposed mitigation features put forth
for installation at the MLK Center.
This MOU will be in effect for five (5) years from the date of signing.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff requests City Council review and approve the attached Memorandum of
Understanding with the Washington State Department of Archaeology and
Historic Preservation tor the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center
Renovation and Expansion Project.

•Buried railroad tracks, decking, foundations, or other industrial materials.
•Remnants of homesteading. These could include bricks, nails, household items,
toys, food containers, and other items associated with homes or farming sites.
If this Inadvertent Discovery Plan (IDP) is for multiple (batched) projects, ensure the
location information covers all project areas.
1.INTRODUCTION
The IDP outlines procedures to perform in the event of a discovery of archaeological
materials or human remains, in accordance with applicable state and federal laws. An
IDP is required, as part of Agency Terms and Conditions for all grants and loans, for
any project that creates disturbance above or below the ground. An IDP is not a
substitute for a formal cultural resource review (Executive 21-02 or Section 106).
Once completed, the IDP should always be kept at the project site during all project
activities. All staff, contractors, and volunteers should be familiar with its contents and
know where to find it.
2.CULTURAL RESOURCE DISCOVERIES
A cultural resource discovery could be prehistoric or historic. Examples include (see
images for further examples):
Page 64 of 186
The above list does not cover every possible cultural resource. When in doubt, assume
the material is a cultural resource.
3. ON-SITE RESPONSIBILITIES
If any employee, contractor, or subcontractor believes that they have uncovered
cultural resources or human remains at any point in the project, take the following steps
to Stop-Protect-Notify. If you suspect that the discovery includes human remains,
also follow Sections 5 and 6.
STEP A: Stop Work.
All work must stop immediately in the vicinity of the discovery.
STEP B: Protect the Discovery.
Leave the discovery and the surrounding area untouched and create a clear,
identifiable, and wide boundary (30 feet or larger) with temporary fencing, flagging,
stakes, or other clear markings. Provide protection and ensure integrity of the discovery
until cleared by the Department of Archaeological and Historical Preservation (DAHP)
or a licensed, professional archaeologist.
Do not permit vehicles, equipment, or unauthorized personnel to traverse the discovery
site. Do not allow work to resume within the boundary until the requirements of this IDP
are met.
STEP C: Notify Project Archaeologist (if applicable).
If the project has an archaeologist, notify that person. If there is a monitoring plan in
place, the archaeologist will follow the outlined procedure.
STEP D: Notify Project and Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology)

6. SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR THE DISCOVERY OF HUMAN SKELETAL
MATERIAL
Any human skeletal remains, regardless of antiquity or ethnic origin, will at all times be
treated with dignity and respect. Follow the steps under Stop-Protect-Notify. For specific
instructions on how to handle a human remains discovery, see: RCW 68.50.645: Skeletal
human remains—Duty to notify—Ground disturbing activities—Coroner determination—
Definitions.
Suggestion: If you are unsure whether the discovery is human bone or not, contact Guy

Guy Tasa, PhD State Physical Anthropologist
Guy.Tasa@dahp.wa.gov
(360) 790-1633 (Cell/Office)
For discoveries that are confirmed or suspected human remains, follow these steps:
1. Notify law enforcement and the Medical Examiner/Coroner using the contacts
below. Do not call 911 unless it is the only number available to you.
Enter contact information below (required):
• Local Medical Examiner or Coroner name and phone:
• Local Law Enforcement main name and phone:
• Local Non-Emergency phone number (911 if without a non-emergency
number):
2. The Medical Examiner/Coroner (with assistance of law enforcement personnel) will
determine if the remains are human or if the discovery site constitutes a crime
scene and will notify DAHP.
3. DO NOT speak with the media, allow photography or disturbance of the
remains, or release any information about the discovery on social media.
4. If the remains are determined to be non-forensic, Cover the remains with a tarp or
other materials (not soil or rocks) for temporary protection and to shield them from
being photographed by others or disturbed.
ECY 070-560 (rev. 06/21) 4 IDP Form Page 67 of 186
ECY 070-560 (rev. 06/21) 5 IDP Form
Further activities:
•Per RCW 27.44.055, RCW 68.50, and RCW 68.60, DAHP will have jurisdiction
over non-forensic human remains. Ecology staff will participate in consultation.
Organizations may also participate in consultation.
•Documentation of human skeletal remains and funerary objects will be agreed
upon through the consultation process described in RCW 27.44.055,
RCW 68.50, and RCW 68.60.
•When consultation and documentation activities are complete, work in the
discovery area may resume as described in Section 8.
If the project occurs on federal lands (such as a national forest or park or a military
reservation) the provisions of the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation
Act of 1990 (NAGPRA) apply and the responsible federal agency will follow its
provisions. Note that state highways that cross federal lands are on an easement and
are not owned by the state.
If the project occurs on non-federal lands, the Project Lead/Organization will comply
with applicable state and federal laws, and the above protocol.
7.DOCUMENTATION OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL MATERIALS
Archaeological resources discovered during construction are protected by state law
RCW 27.53 and assumed eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places under Criterion D until a formal Determination of Eligibility is made.
The Project Lead/Organization must ensure that proper documentation and field
assessment are made of all discovered cultural resources in cooperation with all
parties: the federal agencies (if any), DAHP, Ecology, affected tribes, and the
archaeologist.
The archaeologist will record all prehistoric and historic cultural material discovered
during project construction on a standard DAHP archaeological site or isolate
inventory form. They will photograph site overviews, features, and artifacts and
prepare stratigraphic profiles and soil/sediment descriptions for minimal subsurface
exposures. They will document discovery locations on scaled site plans and site
location maps.
Cultural features, horizons, and artifacts detected in buried sediments may require the
archaeologist to conduct further evaluation using hand-dug test units. They will
excavate units in a controlled fashion to expose features, collect samples from
undisturbed contexts, or to interpret complex stratigraphy. They may also use a test
unit or trench excavation to determine if an intact occupation surface is present. They
will only use test units when necessary to gather information on the nature, extent, and
integrity of subsurface cultural deposits to evaluate the site’s significance. They will
conduct excavations using standard archaeological techniques to precisely document
the location of cultural deposits, artifacts, and features.
The archaeologist will record spatial information, depth of excavation levels, natural
and cultural stratigraphy, presence or absence of cultural material, and depth to sterile
soil, regolith, or bedrock for each unit on a standard form. They will complete test
excavation unit level forms, which will include plan maps for each excavation level and
artifact counts and material types, number, and vertical provenience (depth below
Page 68 of 186
ECY 070-560 (rev. 06/21) 6 IDP Form
surface and stratum association where applicable) for all recovered artifacts. They will
draw a stratigraphic profile for at least one wall of each test excavation unit.
The archaeologist will screen sediments excavated for purposes of cultural resources
investigation through 1/8-inch mesh, unless soil conditions warrant 1/4-inch mesh.
The archaeologist will analyze, catalogue, and temporarily curate all prehistoric and
historic artifacts collected from the surface and from probes and excavation units. The
ultimate disposition of cultural materials will be determined in consultation with the
federal agencies (if any), DAHP, Ecology, and the affected tribe(s).
Within 90 days of concluding fieldwork, the archaeologist will provide a technical report
describing any and all monitoring and resultant archaeological excavations to the
Project Lead/Organization, who will forward the report to Ecology, the federal agencies
(if any), DAHP, and the affected tribe(s) for review and comment.
If assessment activities expose human remains (burials, isolated teeth, or bones), the
archaeologist and Project Lead/Organization will follow the process described in
Section 6.
8.PROCEEDING WITH WORK
The Project Lead/Organization shall work with the archaeologist, DAHP, and
affected tribe(s) to determine the appropriate discovery boundary and where work can
continue.
Work may continue at the discovery location only after the process outlined in this plan
is followed and the Project Lead/Organization, DAHP, any affected tribe(s), Ecology,
and the federal agencies (if any) determine that compliance with state and federal laws
is complete.
9.ORGANIZATION RESPONSIBILITY
The Project Lead/Organization is responsible for ensuring:
•This IDP has complete and accurate information.
•This IDP is immediately available to all field staff at the sites and available by
request to any party.
•This IDP is implemented to address any discovery at the site.
•That all field staff, contractors, and volunteers are instructed on how to implement
this IDP.
10.ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
Informative Video
Ecology recommends that all project staff, contractors, and volunteers view this
informative video explaining the value of IDP protocol and what to do in the event of a
discovery. The target audience is anyone working on the project who could

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council February 12, 2025
TO: Dave Zabell, Interim City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 2/18/25
FROM: Jesse Rice, Director
Parks & Recreation
SUBJECT: *Resolution No. 4569 - Head Start Martin Luther King Jr. Community
Center Lease Agreement Addendum No. 3 (5 minutes)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Resolution
Head Start MLK Community Center Lease Agreement Addendum
Original Lease Agreement
Lease Addendums 1 & 2
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4569, authorizing the Interim City
Manager to execute an Addendum No. 3 to the Martin Luther King Jr.
Community Center Lease Agreement between Benton-Franklin Head Start for
use of the Kurtzman Building during the renovations of the Martin Luther King
Jr. Community Center.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
This addendum adjusts the lease terms by reducing the square footage while
increasing the price per square foot to $12.50 based on market analysis,
resulting in a $115.75 decrease in monthly rent. Head Start will pay $2,737.50
per month until the renovation of the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center
(MLK Center) is complete. At that time, the City and Head Start will negotiate a
new lease agreement for the renovated space.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 2010, the City and Benton-Franklin Head Start (BFHS) entered into a lease
agreement for space at the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center on South
Wehe Avenue. Amendments to the agreement were made in 2015 and 2021.
Throughout this partnership, the City and BFHS have maintained a positive
relationship, successfully offering a valuable pre-school service to the Pasco
Page 81 of 186
community.
V. DISCUSSION:
As part of the City's upcoming renovation of the portion of the MLK Center
currently occupied by BFHS, both parties collaborated to find a temporary
alternative location that would allow BFHS to continue its services without
interruption. They identified the Kurtzman Building as the most suitable option
due to its close proximity, essential facilities, and minimal disruption to the
children and families served by BFHS.
Staff recommends the approval of the resolution as presented.

In the event the Lessee's use of the premises is responsible for an increase in the
insurance rates on the building of which the premises are a part, then in such event, Lessee
agrees to pay any resulting increase in premiums on such building.
13. Damaize to Property on Premises. Lessee agrees that all property of every kind
and description kept, stored, or placed in or on the premises shall be at Lessee's sole risk and
hazard and that Lessor shall not be responsible for any loss or damage to any of such property
resulting from fire, explosion, water, steam, gas, electricity, or the elements, whether or not
originating in the premises, caused by or from leaks or defects in or breakdown of plumbing,
piping, wiring, hearing, or any other facility, equipment, or fixtures or any other cause or act
except resulting from the gross negligence of Lessor or anyone for whom Lessor may be
responsible.
14. Damage by Casualty. In case the leased premises shall be destroyed or shall be
so damaged by fire or other casualty, as to become untenantable, then in such event, at the option
of the Lessor, this lease shall terminate from the date of such damage or destruction and the
Lessee shall immediately surrender such premises and all interest therein to Lessor, and Lessee
shall pay rent only to the time of such surrender. Lessor shall exercise such option to terminate
this lease by notice in writing delivered to Lessee within ten (10) days after such damage or
destruction. In case Lessor shall not elect to terminate this lease, in such event, this lease shall
continue in full force and effect and the Lessor shall repair the leased premises with all
reasonable promptitude, placing the same in as good a condition as they were at the time of the
damage or abate in proportion to the extent and duration of untenantability. In either event
Lessee shall remove all rubbish, debris, merchandise, furniture, equipment, and other personal
property, within ten (10) days after the request of the Lessor. If the leased premises shall be only
slightly injured by fire or the elements, so as not to render the same untenantable and unfit by
occupancy, then the Lessor shall repair the same within a reasonable time, and in that case the
rent shall not abate. No compensation or claim shall be made by or allowed to the Lessee by

the building or the leased premises, however, the necessity may occur.
15. Public Requirements. Lessee shall comply with all laws, orders, ordinances, and
other public requirements now or hereafter affecting the premises or the use thereof, and save
Lessor harmless from expense or damage resulting from failure to do so. The leased premises
are not exempted from compliance with zoning or any other municipal codes or ordinances nor
from any other requirements of law due to title being in the name of the City.
16. Assignment or Sublease. Lessee shall not assign, transfer, or encumber this
lease and shall not sublease the premises or any part thereof or allow any other person to be in
possession thereof without the prior written consent of the Lessor.
17. Surrender at End of Term. At the expiration of the term of this lease, the
Lessor or his agent shall have the right to enter and take possession of the leased premises, and
the Lessee agrees to deliver the same without process of law. The Lessee shall be liable to
Lessor for any loss or damage, including attorney's fees and court costs incurred, as a result of
Lessee's failure to comply with this obligation.
18. Holding Over. Any holding over by Lessee after the expiration of the term of
this lease or any extension thereof shall be construed to be a tenancy from month to month at a
monthly rental equal to one hundred percent (100 %) of the rent payable during the last month
r1 immediately prior to the expiration of the term and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of
this agreement. Nothing herein set out shall be construed to authorize any such holding over.
19. Default. If default is made in the payment of any installment of rent on the due
date thereof, or if Lessee shall default in the performance of any other agreement (other than
payment of rent) continuously for ten (10) days after written notice thereof, or if the premises be
vacated or abandoned, then in any such event this lease shall terminate, at the option of Lessor,
and Lessor may re -enter the premises and take possession thereof, with or without legal process
being hereby expressly waived, and upon such entry, as aforesaid, this lease shall terminate and
the Lessor may exclude Lessee from the premises, changing the lock on the door or doors if
deemed necessary, without being liable to Lessee for any damages or for prosecution therefor.
Lessor's rights in such event may be enforced by action in unlawful detainer or other proper
legal action, and the Lessee expressly agrees, notwithstanding termination of this lease and re-
entry by the Lessor that the Lessee shall remain liable for a sum equal to the entire rental payable
to the end of the term of this lease and shall pay any loss or deficiency sustained by the Lessor on
account of the premises being let for the remainder of the original term for a less sum than
before. Lessor, as agent for Lessee without notice may re -let the leased premises or any part
thereof for the remainder of the term or for any longer or shorter period as opportunity may offer,
and at such rental as may be obtained and Lessee agrees to pay the difference between a sum
equal to the amount of rent payable during the remainder of the term and the net rent actually
received by the Lessor during the term after deducting all expenses of every kind for repairs,
recovering possession, and re- letting the same, which difference shall accrue and be payable
monthly. All property of the Lessee which is now or may hereafter be at any time during the
term of this lease in or upon such premises, whether exempt from execution or not, shall be
so1o2 \acs \agreements \m1k head start9.20.10.docx
Page 94 of 186
bound by and subject to a lien for the payment of the rent herein reserved, and for any damages
arising from any breach by the Lessee of any of the covenants or agreements of this lease to be
performed by Lessee. In the event of default by Lessee in the payment of rent or otherwise,
Lessor may foreclosure such lien and take possession of such property or any part thereof and
sell or cause the same to be sold, at such place as Lessor may elect, at public or private sale, with
or without notice, to the highest bidder for cash, and apply the proceeds of such sale to pay the
costs of taking possession of and selling such property, and then toward the debt and/or damages
as aforesaid. Any excess of the proceeds of the sale over such costs, debt, and/or damages shall
be paid to Lessee. Any such sale shall bar any right of redemption by Lessee.
20. Waiver. The rights and remedies of the Lessor under this lease, as well as those
provided or accorded by law, shall be cumulative, and none shall be exclusive of any other rights
or remedies hereunder or allowed by law. A waiver by Lessor of any breach or breaches, default
or defaults, of Lessee hereunder shall not be deemed or construed to be a continuing waiver of
such breach of default nor as a waiver of or permission, expressed or implied, for any subsequent
breach or default, and it is agreed that the acceptance by Lessor of any installment of rent
subsequent to the date of same should have been paid hereunder, shall in no manner alter or
affect the covenant and obligation of Lessee to pay subsequent installments of rent promptly
upon the due date thereof. No receipt of money by Lessor after the termination in any way of
this lease shall re- instate, continue, or extend the term above demised.
21. Bankruptcy. Neither this lease or any interest therein nor any estate hereby
created shall pass to any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy or to any other receiver or assignee for
the benefit of creditors by operation of law during the term of this lease or any renewal thereof.
22. Encumbrances. Any assignment, transfer or conveyance by Lessee of any
property rights arising out of this lease shall not encumber, alienate, diminish, cloud, or impair in
any way the title ownership and interest of the City in and to such property.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4570, authoring the Interim City
Manager to execute the Amendment No. 2 to the Convention Center Financing
Interlocal Agreement between the City of Pasco and the City of Kennewick.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Revenue - Up to $600,000 annually
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 2000, City of Kennewick created the Kennewick Public Facilities District for
the purpose of acquiring, constructing, and operating a convention center. City
of Pasco created its own public facilities district in 2002. As per State Law
(RCW 82.14.390), public facilities districts can access portion of state sales tax
dollars that would be otherwise be retained by State Department of Revenue.
In 2002, City of Kennewick and Pasco determined that it is in the best interest
of respective our within retained be funds such that residents our to
communities. An interlocal agreement between Kennewick Public Facilities
District (KPFD) and Pasco Public Facilities District (PPFD) recognized the
Three serves Rivers Convention Center as a regional facility that both
Kennewick and Pasco communities and provides significant economic and
Page 104 of 186
cultural benefits to citizens of both cities. This agreement allowed KPFD to
collect the PPFD's share of the aforementioned state sales tax.
An additional interlocal agreement between cities of Kennewick and Pasco,
allows for a portion of the tax collected to be distributed to Pasco community.
City of Kennewick, which collects the taxes on behalf of KPFD, distributes any
tax less $150,000 but not to exceed $600,000 to Pasco on a monthly basis.
City of Pasco has historically used these funds for purpose of economic
development.
V. DISCUSSION:
State law allows for KPFD to continue collecting the sales tax from the State as
long there is an outstanding debt on the facility. City of Kennewick and KPFD
are gearing up to issue debt on expansion of the facility. Modification of the ILA
between the two cities allows for the residents of Pasco to receive up to
$600,000 annually until the regional convention center has no outstanding
debt.
Staff recommends the modification of the interlocal agreement.

SUBJECT: Downtown Parking Plan Presentation (10 minutes)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Presentation
Draft report prepared by Transpo Group in 2021
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Presentation - Interim Community & Economic Development Director Sigdel
will provide an update on downtown parking.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The evaluation of downtown parking has been an ongoing effort for the past
four years. Adequate public and private parking within the downtown core are
key economic vitality. In 2021, the City partnered with the Transpo Group to
prepare a comprehensive parking assessment. The study evaluated current
parking conditions, identified areas of high demand, and projected future
parking needs based on growth outlined in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The
study determined that the existing parking supply was adequate to meet
demand but highlighted areas requiring targeted management to optimize
utilization and support economic development. It is noteworthy that the
evaluation occurred subsequent to the reconstruction efforts of Peanuts Park
and took into account the displacement of the public parking that existed under
the former configuration of the park.
More recently, in 2024, the City conducted updated parking occupancy counts
on weekdays over several months to obtain more accurate and current data
and compare to prior assumptions. These counts confirmed that overall parking
Page 129 of 186
availability remains sufficient, but high utilization of on-street parking persists in

weekdays is concentrated during midday hours, reflecting the influence of
business and visitor activities.
This analysis has provided the foundation for exploring parking management
strategies, including time limits and infrastructure enhancements, to better align
with the community's needs and the City's growth objectives.
V. DISCUSSION:
The analyses conducted by Transpo and subsequent staff driven update
indicates is a not program comprehensive a implementing that parking
recommended solution at this time; several challenges emphasize the
difficulties associated with such an approach. These challenges include the
need areas, potential time-restricted parking enforcement for in frequent
contention among property owners when creating priority areas, and the added
expense of proper enforcement. Furthermore, user frustration due to the cost
of paid parking or parking citations, and the perception that enforcement
programs are unwelcoming to customers, could drive business away from
downtown. strategies Instead of implementation of alternative are
recommended as a next step:
Develop a public parking lot on City-owned land: The 2nd Avenue and
West Columbia Street lot is recommended for development due to its
proximity to congested areas and Peanuts Park. The adopted biennial
budget allocates $250,000 to develop this 0.65 acre into a public parking
lot.
Given the importance of the proposed parking facility, time limits are
recommended for effective facility economic keep to as so the
development and visitor purposes in the downtown core.
Consideration of time restrictions in high-demand areas to improve
turnover and ensure greater access for visitors and customers.
Monitor and adapt: Continue to monitor parking usage and consider
incremental measures, such as transitioning parallel configurations to
angled parking, to maximize block capacity, and addition of future
parking facilities as needed.
These recommendations aim to address specific parking challenges while
remaining needs current City’s the cost-effective responsive and and to
resources.

City of Pasco • Parking Analysis 1
The objective of the Parking Analysis
is to identify strategies that can be
implemented over time to address
near term or existing parking issues as
well as triggers for future strategies to
maintain continued parking availability.
BACKGROUND
The City of Pasco is experiencing growth
within the Downtown area. According to
the City’s website, the City population grew
by approximately 26 percent between
2010 and 2019. As part of this growth,
future development is expected within
the downtown area that include projects
that may eliminate some of the existing
parking supply as well as increase parking
demands. Additionally, as part of the 2018
Comprehensive Plan Update, improvements
to the Lewis Street Corridor were highlighted
as a key transportation improvement. This
will likely include a complete streets design
and may impact parking supply as noted
in the City’s 2021-2026 Transportation
Improvement Plan. The Lewis Street Corridor
Improvement project will leverage the results
of this study to inform the future design.
INTRODUCTION
Parking plays a key role in supporting the economic vitality
of businesses in Pasco and is a valuable City resource.
This analysis evaluates existing conditions as well as
future changes in parking supply and demand anticipated
with known development proposals and identifies options
for managing parking conditions to support growth and
to best utilize the valuable public parking resources.

The study focused on the downtown area
of Pasco between N 5th Avenue and 2nd
Avenue and W Columbia Street and W Clark
Street, which consists of 17 blocks and 34
on-street parking blockfaces. Additionally,
seven off-street parking lots were included
in the study, three of which were public lots
and four were privately owned. Parking within
the study area is all free of charge, with some
spaces having time limits. The study area
and parking types are shown in Figure 1.
The study area consists of approximately 404
on-street spaces and 133 off-street spaces.
Approximately 40 percent of on-street spaces
are angled parking, with the remaining
spaces consisting entirely of parallel parking
spaces (some of which are marked, and
others include unmarked curb space).

This map illustrations the locations of parking
restrictions within the study area. Parking
is all free of charge within Pasco, and most
on-street blocks allow drivers to park for
2 hours at a time. Some blocks have no
parking restrictions. Parking restrictions
are generally between 8:00 AM and 6:00 PM,
although it varies block by block as some
limits only occur from 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.

City of Pasco • Parking Analysis4
Parking occupancies over 85 percent on-
street and in larger parking lots typically
indicate congested parking conditions
where drivers have difficulty finding parking
and may have to circulate the area more
than once to find an available space.
A review of the hourly occupancy data shows
that peaking conditions occur at 1 PM on both
Weekdays and Saturdays. The highest peak
occurs at 1 PM on Saturday with approximately
54 percent of all spaces occupied. This
indicates that peak conditions are likely caused
by shopping and visits downtown to the
farmer’s market that occurs on Saturdays.
PARKING OCCUPANCY
To understand the level of parking demand
within the study area, parking occupancy
was observed on a Thursday and a Saturday
to capture both peak weekday and weekend
demands. Parking occupancy was collected in
hourly intervals during the following times:
࢙ Saturday, May 22, 2021 from
11AM to 7 PM (includes farmers
market on S 4th Street)
࢙ Thursday, May 27, 2021 from 1PM to 9PM
On-street parking occupancy between 75
and 85 percent typically indicates 1 to 2
available parking spaces per block making
it easier for drivers to find parking.
Weekday parking activity decreases
consistently throughout the day, with
occupancy levels dropping below 20 percent
at 9 PM. Total parking occupancy does not
reach 85 percent during either the weekday
or on Saturday. However, the four block ‘core’
around 4th Avenue and Lewis Street often
reach or exceed this target and management
strategies could better balance parking needs.
The following pages provide more detail on
findings related to on and off-street parking as
well as angled and parallel on-street parking.

WEEKDAY HOURLY OCCUPANCY FOR
PARALLEL ON-STREET PARKING and
shows that peak parking occurs at 1:00
PM with 52 percent of spaces occupied.
This is lower than the peak on-street rate,
suggesting that parallel spaces are less
attractive to visitors than angled spaces.

on-street parallel parking rates tend to
peak around lunch and dinner times,
suggesting that the nearby land use is likely
the driving factor for parallel parking.

FORECAST 2040 PARKING DEMAND
Future parking demand was estimated to
determine whether existing supply would
cover the anticipated demand in the future.
Future parking demand estimates were
developed using growth assumptions from
the City of Pasco’s 2040 Comprehensive Plan.
Six traffic analysis zones (TAZs) make up
the study area, for which existing land use
data was provided by City staff (see Table
1). City staff noted a 33 percent increase to
all future employment within the study area
was forecast in the Comprehensive Plan,
and so this same 33 percent growth was
applied to estimate the future land use.

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
has developed a methodology for estimating
parking demand based on decades worth of
survey data for a variety of land uses. The ITE
Parking Generation Handbook (5th Edition)
includes peak parking demand estimates for
each of the land use types within the study
area. They are summarized in Table 2

Additionally, the ITE Parking Generation
Handbook provides time of day estimates for
how parking demand fluctuates for each land
use during the week, a summarized in Table 3.
Time of day information is not provided for all
land uses on the weekend, so weekend parking
forecasts are not included within this analysis.
Combining the parking generation estimates
with the time-of-day estimates, the total
expected parking demand (given ITE data)
was compared against the number of vehicles
observed during data collection for a weekday.
The results are summarized in Figure 18.
These data suggests that ITE rates provide a
reasonable estimate for the parking demand

ITE Estimate Reduced Estimates
The future 2040 land use estimates calculated
in Table 2 were used to estimate the forecast
2040 parking demand. Given that ITE rates
overestimated existing parking demand, the
same hourly correction rate was applied to the
forecast 2040 parking demand. The ITE rate
and the reduced forecast is shown in Figure 19.
The reduced estimates show a peak
parking demand of 375 vehicles within the
downtown Pasco parking area at 1:00 PM.
Assuming no change to the total supply
(537 spaces), this equates to approximately
70 percent of spaces being occupied. This
suggests that future parking demand is
accommodated with existing supply.

HIGH OCCUPANCY ALONG 4TH
AVENUE AND LEWIS STREET
Parking Occupancy along the four-block
area on 4th Avenue (Clark St to Columbia
St) and Lewis Street (3rd Ave to 5th Ave)
peak around 80 percent during the week,
and up to 95 percent on Saturday during
the famers market. Management strategies
in this area may be explored to target the
appropriate desired parking condition.
KEY FINDINGS
GENERAL PARKING AVAILABILITY
Overall parking occupancy levels within
the study area peak both on weekdays
and during the week at around 53 percent
of available spaces. On-street parking is
generally more desirable than off-street
parking, especially during the week.
However, Saturday off-street parking rates
reach on-street parking occupancy rates at
6:00 PM likely due to restaurant activity.

PARKING MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Parking management strategies are intended
to more efficiently utilize available parking
but can also support a more walkable
community by reducing the dependence of
the automobile, improve traffic operations,
and lessen the impacts to the environment.
The parking management strategies identified
in this report are summarized in three
primary categories and include everything
from infrastructure to policy changes.
࢙ IMPROVING EFFICIENCY These are
strategies that are aimed at maximizing
the use and efficiency of parking supply.
࢙ REDUCING DEMAND These are
strategies that are aimed at reducing
parking demands through shifting travel
modes during peak demand periods.
࢙ AWARENESS, ENFORCEMENT, AND
AUTHORITY These are strategies related
to making the public aware of the parking
regulations and locations, enforcing
regulations and policies, and monitoring
parking conditions to continually make
improvements and ensure strategies
are appropriate as conditions change.
IMPROVING EFFICIENCY
OR SUPPLY
Efficiency includes concepts such as shared
parking, regulating parking, policies,
improving accessibility, and reconfiguring
parking. These concepts and strategies are
used to maximize the use of the current and
future parking supply to avoid oversupply.
Shared Parking
Shared parking is where parking facilities
serve multiple land uses and are not
dedicated for any one specific use. This occurs
with on-street parking, but could also be
applied to off-street parking. Shared parking
reduces the amount of parking needed as
different uses have demands that peak at
different times. For example, office uses
peak during the day while residential uses
peak in the evening. In addition, with shared
parking, in a mixed-use urban environment
visitors can park once and walk to multiple
nearby destinations reducing the need to
move their vehicle for each destination.
Many local and regional jurisdictions
encourage shared parking and either allow a
flat percent reduction or allow a demand study
to be completed by a transportation consultant
to identify the shared parking reductions.
The following section outlines
parking management strategies
that could be implemented to
better balance the supply and
demand of valuable parking
assets in Downtown Pasco now
and into the future. The parking
management strategies were
derived in response to the
findings in this parking study
and support the overall goals
and objectives identified in The
City’s Comprehensive Plan.

This could occur through shared parking
agreements as well as providing for financial
and other development related incentives for
providing accessible public shared parking.

Regulate Parking
Parking regulations can control who, when,
and how long vehicles are allowed to park.
This helps prioritize parking and allows
the most convenient parking spaces to
be available for the most important uses.
Regulating parking includes implementing
time restrictions; designating areas for
employees; providing residential permit
parking; and dedicating carpool, loading zone,
car sharing, and electric vehicle spaces.
Most urban areas have some regulated
parking such as time restrictions for more
desirable parking spaces to make these
spaces available more frequently. In addition
to regulating parking duration, there is a
recent movement to regulate vehicle type
by providing dedicated spaces for carpools
and electric vehicles. Regulating vehicle
type supports the goal of reducing traffic
and environmental impacts. With electric
vehicle parking spaces, consideration should
be given to installing charging stations.
In Downtown Pasco, on-street parking is
primarily restricted to a two-hour limit.
Changes to time restrictions could be
considered to provide for some 30 to 60-minute
parking especially in areas of high demand
such as 4th Avenue and Lewis Street.
Benefits
࢙ More efficient use of parking
࢙ Increase parking turnover
࢙ Make preferred parking
available for customers
࢙ Shifts employee, residential,
and other long-term parking
to underutilized areas
࢙ Incentivize carpooling
or electric vehicles
REGULATE PARKING
Challenges
࢙ Enforcement can be
difficult (i.e., more frequent
enforcement needed with
time restrictions to chalk
vehicles and without
license plate recognition
drivers remove chalk.

࢙ Balancing priority areas
can be contentious among
land owners/tenants

Requirements and Policies
Parking management in conjunction with
smart growth policies will support more
compact, sustainable, and accessible land
use development. The result is typically
reduced traffic and less parking needs. Parking
standards should be flexible and adapt over
time to account for local conditions. Changes
to parking standards could include eliminating
minimum parking requirements and allowing
for alternatives to providing parking.
As Downtown Pasco continues to grow, parking
demands will increase and new and updated
policies or requirements will be needed
to support various parking management
strategies including flexible provisions to allow
for the right amount of parking supporting
actual needs. Consideration could be given to
adjusting policies for mixed-use multi-family
developments by allowing reductions if public
parking is provided or other incentives that
are mutually beneficial to meeting goals of
both the developer and City. In addition, as
development increases and parking becomes
less available the City may consider a Parking
Impact Fee or a fee-in-lieu of providing parking
to fund public parking improvements.

Improved Non-Motorized Connections
Walking and cycling are considered
non-motorized modes that play a very
important part in the overall multimodal
transportation system. Improving connections
between parking and multiple destinations
expands the area served by parking. This
supports having people park once and visit
multiple destinations. The safer and more
comfortable the walking environment,
the further people are willing to walk.
In Downtown Pasco, most of the area is very
walkable with sidewalks in many areas, curb
bulbs at intersections, marked crosswalks,
and some bike racks. The non-motorized
system should continue to be improved
as uses and demand increases. Much of
these improvements should come from
encouraging new development to provide
frontage improvements, reducing curb cuts as
appropriate, improving transit stops, providing
covered walkways (where appropriate),
and connections through development.

REDUCING DEMAND
This includes strategies to decrease the
demand for parking such as transportation
demand management (TDM), car sharing,
charging for parking, incentivizing, unbundle
parking, and improving non-motorized facilities.
Transportation Demand Management
There are a number of strategies for
implementing transportation demand
management (TDM), which are focused
on reducing automobile use and getting
drivers to make alternative mode choices.
These measures balance the use of the
transportation system by shifting travel modes,
travel times, and how the system is used.
Washington State has a Commute Trip
Reduction (CTR) Law that is designed to get
employers with more than 100 employees to
implement programs to reduce the number
of drive alone trips, thereby reducing
traffic, parking, and environmental impacts.
CTR is required for larger employers, but
the same programs can benefit smaller
companies or a group of employers.
Charge for Parking
Charging for parking is simply having people
directly pay for the use of parking spaces.
This can be implemented for both public and

private lots and essentially is a management
tool that reduces demand, motivates ride
sharing, promotes higher turnover, and can
generate revenue. In recent years, there
have been numerous studies that show
positive support for paid parking in urban
settings with a high demand for parking.
There has also been a paradigm shift of
thinking with regards to the cost of parking.
This has been most publicly written about by
Donald Shoup1 where in many publications
he has stressed that free parking is actually
1 Donald Shoup is Distinguished Professor of Urban Planning at University of California, Los Angeles and widely-regarded expert in the economics and parking. His book, The High Cost of Free Parking, explains how better parking
policies can improve cities, the economy, and the environment. Shoup recommends charging fair market prices for on-street parking, use of revenue to finance added public services, and removal of off-street parking requirements.
subsidized parking and the costs are indirectly
passed on to customers and the public. Parking
is paid for either directly or indirectly and when
you charge for parking the user is paying.
Methods for charging for parking have
evolved and improved over time as
technology has changed. Technology
in meters has significantly improved
payment methods and the “paid parking”
experience has become more convenient.
With the implementation of paid parking,
pricing would need to be carefully considered
to manage demand. The most common
practice for setting pricing is to use occupancy
rates as the indicator for cost. The key to
establishing a price is to ensure it does
not result in peak occupancies between 70
and 85 percent. Some jurisdictions are now
implementing time of day paid parking to
adjust the hourly price based on peak demand
periods (i.e., higher price is charged during
peak periods to encourage turnover).

Incentivize
Financial incentives are often used to reduce
employee drive-alone commute trips and
parking demand. Incentives could be in the
form of cash payouts, transit pass subsidies, or
discounted/preferred parking for carpooling.
Various employers provide subsidies for
transit, biking, carpooling, vanpooling, etc. For
example, some developers such as in Redmond,
Kirkland, and Portland, Oregon have agreed
to provide transit passes to all residents as
a condition of approval and/or incentive in
exchange for reduced parking requirements.
The cost savings from developments not
having to build parking could be used to
fund incentive programs to encourage use of
mobility options for tenants and employees.

Unbundled Parking
Private parking spaces in a development
are often bundled into a rental/lease
agreement and the costs of the parking
are wrapped in the rent but advertised as
free. If you unbundle these parking spaces
and charge for them separately from rent,
you can provide lower rents and the option
for tenants to pay for the additional cost of
parking. This makes the tenant more aware
of their purchase and gives them the choice
to pay for what they need and ultimately can
result in overall lower parking demand.
This is already a standard practice in many
Cities, where building owners are required to
include parking costs as a separate line item
in leases and the parking cost has to be as
much or more than the cost of a transit pass.
Benefits
࢙ Reduces parking demand
࢙ Encourages mode shifts

Improve Non-Motorized Facilities
Walking, cycling, and transit play a very
important role in the overall multimodal
transportation system by providing alternatives
to the automobile. Improving non-motorized
facilities such as connections, bike racks,
and transit stations all encourage the use
of mobility options and make better use
of the entire transportation system.
Most cities now recognize that transportation
system plans should be multimodal in nature
and include an improvement plan for the
non-motorized system. The City of already
does a good job of this and continues to
update their non-motorized plans. As part
of these updates, the City should work with
the development community to identify a
priority for what and how improvements
are completed. New developments could
be required to construct or fund these non-
motorized improvements to mitigate their
transportation and parking impacts.

effective, Pasco will need to provide public
information and outreach, enforcement so that
regulations are not ignored, and monitoring
to adjust and adapt to future conditions.
Benefits
࢙ Reduces parking demand
࢙ Increases non-motorized use
࢙ Provides social, health, and
environmental benefits
࢙ Less costly than providing
additional parking
IMPROVE NON-MOTORIZED FACILITIES
Challenges
࢙ Funding non-motorized
connections and facilities are
at times not prioritized over
other operational needs.
࢙ Costs associated with
drainage, landscaping
and other aspects
can be expensive.

Wayfinding and Information
Wayfinding is used to link drivers to available
parking. It decreases traffic congestion and
increases efficiency in finding a parking space
by directing drivers to available parking and
avoiding added traffic from people circulating
through the system to locate spaces. Studies
in urban areas show that as much as 30
percent of traffic can be associated with
drivers circulating to find parking. With drivers
guided on a direct path to available parking
the more traffic and environmental impacts
will be reduced and the overall transportation
system will function more efficiently.
In addition to wayfinding signs along roadways,
other information and educational media
such as websites and tourist maps can be
used to direct drivers to available parking.
There are some parking wayfinding signs
throughout the City; however, additional
signs could be installed directing customers
to those areas that are underutilized. Signs
directing drivers to available parking should
be easily identifiable and have a consistent
look and feel throughout the City.
Benefits
࢙ Reduces traffic impacts and
additional vehicle circulation
WAYFINDING AND INFORMATION
Challenges
࢙ Currently, no one
specific parking location
to direct drivers
࢙ Implementing ITS

Enforcement
Enforcing parking regulations is an important
component to making sure the parking
system and regulations are followed. Without
enforcement many parking management
strategies will be ignored, abused, and
ineffective. Developing a parking enforcement
plan needs to be a part of any parking
management program and should be reviewed
and updated to meet the changing needs of
the system as well as available technologies.
Each parking management strategy requires
a different form or level of enforcement that
needs to be considered in the overall cost-
benefit. Typically, enforcement costs are offset
by revenues generated from ticketing violators.
New technologies are helping cities monitor
and enforce time-restricted parking areas.
Most jurisdictions utilize a parking attendant
to walk or drive various routes and chalk
tires on a regular interval. Kirkland and other
Cities have installed license plate recognition
devices on their parking enforcement
vehicles, which allows them to quickly
drive down a street and have a software
program automatically identify violators.
Benefits
࢙ Ensures that parking
management is effective
࢙ Generates revenue to
help fund further parking
improvements
ENFORCEMENT
Challenges
࢙ Enforcement requires staff
and additional costs

Parking Authority
Establishing a parking management
association such as a parking authority,
parking committee, or a parking coordinator
position can be an effective way to monitor,
modify, or adopt new parking management
practices as the parking system evolves and
changes. The role of this authority would be
to organize and manage validation programs,
promotional campaigns, commuter trip
programs, rideshare matching, and assist with
parking agreements between developers.
Benefits
࢙ Provides a unified point of
contact and set of information
࢙ Makes it easier for
businesses to deal with
specific parking issues
࢙ Creates a sounding board
for all parking issues
PARKING AUTHORITY
Challenges
࢙ Determining how much
authority it will have or
need to be successful
࢙ Costs to implement
the authority and who
bears that cost
