IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 2018, a detailed evaluation of the City's irrigation system found supply
deficiencies within the existing area of service, resulting in low pressure areas
Page 20 of 137
with no capacity for expansion. In response, a series of projects and
operational changes were initiated by the City.
A large part of the effort over the past several years has involved the United
States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and the South Columbia Basin Irrigation
District (SCBID) in order to plan and implement a project where the City
purchases water from USBR and it is delivered (wheeled) to the City by SCBID
at a location at the end of their canal system. Through collaboration the
agencies have developed a viable plan that if fully implemented will be of
benefit to all parties.
On April 26, 2022, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement
(PSA) with RH2 to perform a final design for the Municipal & Industrial (M&I)
Pump Station and to work with SCBID and Barker Ranch (developer) on
delivery and pipeline details to serve both the upper and lower zones within the
expanded service area. RH2 was to prepare plans and specification
documents required for a complete set of bid documents, provide plans,
specifications, finalize and feedback and and for estimate cost review
documents for bidding, however as a result of negotiations with SCBID and
Barker Ranch, projects needs for the project changed and design needed to be
altered.
Due to the delays, Amendment No. 1 of the PSA was executed on November
28, 2023, and was a no cost contract extension. During the additional time, the
City and RH2 has been pursuing an agreement and requirements for the
SCBID water, as well as changes to the pump station site with Barker Ranch.
The existing PSA requires amendment to accommodate the extended timeline
of the project, as well as addressing permitting requirements, site modification
and cross-agency coordination efforts.
V. DISCUSSION:
This item was presented to Council at the April 14, 2025, Workshop as a
discussion item.
This contract has been scoped in conjunction with the agreement and use of
SCBID irrigation water supply.
The proposed Amendment No. 2 scope primarily focuses on updates to the
design to coincide with the USBR Municipal & Industrial (M&I) Agreement and
the requirements for taking water delivered by SCBID, as well as the changes
to the site plan or the irrigation pump station in coordination with the plat
adjustments for Barker Ranch. This amendment includes scope and fee for
design beginning at 60% and continued assistance in coordination with USBR,
Page 21 of 137
SCBID and private development stakeholders. Design changes needed are
adjustment of site plan, including a permanent generator, and changes to the
SCBID emergency overflow reservoir.
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services
Agreement with RH2 Engineering, Inc. for the Irrigation System Upgrade
project.
The design completion target is fall 2025 with construction expected to occur in
2026, provided all agreement coordination with USBR and SCBID are
substantially completed by Summer of 2025.

Scope of Work
Amendment No. 2
City of Pasco
Northwest Irrigation System Upgrade
April 2025
Background
The City of Pasco (City) is planning for water, sewer, and irrigation system expansion to meet Growth
Management Act concurrency requirements for the expanded Urban Growth Area (UGA) boundaries
proposed by the City’s 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan for land use. The City’s Community and
Economic Development Department anticipates that a significant amount of the 20 -year growth will
occur in the northwest planning areas that currently are not served by City utilities.
The City asked RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) to prepare the Northwest Irrigation System Study to build
upon other recent studies prepared by RH2 for the City for both sewer in the Addendum to the
Comprehensive Sewer Plan (2021) and irrigation in the Irrigation System Capacity Analysis (2018) and
Future Irrigation System Supply (2019) reports. This first phase of the study was intended to develop
a preliminary layout of a trunkline irrigation system with proposed pressure zones and to consider
the source of supply coming directly or indirectly from the Columbia River, groundwater supplies,
the South Columbia Basin Irrigation District (SCBID), or some combination thereof based upon the
advantages and disadvantages of each alternative.
In the second phase, the City asked RH2 to complete the preliminary design of a Municipal and
Industrial (M&I) Pump Station with supply from SCBID. Primary coordination with Barker Heights,
Solstice Community (Solstice), and SCBID occurred to determine an interim operational plan for
Barker Heights and Solstice and a long-term operational plan with SCBID to draw directly from the
Pumping Plant 6.0 lateral (PPL) and recover water from the PPL 6.0 wasteway when it is filled during
power outages and canal treatments.
The third phase of the study involves performing a final design of the M&I Pump Station and working
with SCBID and Barker Heights on delivery and pipeline details to serve both the upper and lower
zones within the expanded service area. Preliminary cost estimates and methods of repayment will
be advanced as details of the final design and M&I Pump Station service contract with the U.S. Bureau
of Reclamation (Reclamation) are formalized.
As discussed with City staff, RH2 has expended the fee originally intended for the final design of the
M&I Pump Station due to repeated design changes brought about by City requests and changes in
the Barker Heights development, coordination with SCBID, and the City’s Special Use Permit process.
Some key changes included multiple changes to the site’s location, dimensions, setbacks, easements,
and off-site improvement requirements. Additionally, the design scope has been expanded to
include the design of additional improvements both on and off-site to streamline cross-agency
coordination and finalize the design.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Attached is the monthly General Fund financial update through January 2025,
the City's major fund. The administration will provide quarterly reports to
Council for other funds. General Fund reporting is couple of months in arrears
due to the timing of receipt of various taxes. However, staff are working on
revenue are taxes until wait to projections the eliminate will that need
receipted. Moving forward, this effort will generally allow the General Fund
report to be provided mid-month following the reported month.
V. DISCUSSION:
As of the end of January, elapsed time for budget is 4.2%. This is a linear
metric that does not always align with City's non-labor costs and revenue, for
example on the revenue side property taxes are distributed to the City on a
quarterly basis, on the expenditure side, the City's liability insurance premium
is paid in one installment in January, supplies and services are charged as they
are received. At this time, Staff does not expect any significant variance from
Page 44 of 137
the adopted budget for General Fund.
Attached to this agenda report is a list of contracts over $100,000 and under
$300,000 executed administratively in the month of January. Donations made
to the City during the same period are included in the report as well.

During the reporting period, expenditures exceeded revenues, resulting in a
net loss of $684,250. It is important to note that the timing of revenue
receipts and expenditures does not always align. Several key revenue
sources—including property taxes, gambling taxes, and admission taxes—are
received on a quarterly basis, which can temporarily impact the General
Fund's cash flow.
Additionally, certain expenditures, particularly in the Services and Supplies
categories, do not occur evenly throughout the year. In January, which is the
first month of the biennium, 6% of the total Services budget was expended.
This reflects typical annual costs such as insurance premiums and software
service fees, which are generally paid at the beginning of the year.
This spending pattern is consistent with historical trends for the month of
January.
Page 48 of 137
Expenditures
As previously mentioned,
January included large
one-time payments within
the services expense
category. During the
month, $625,240 was
encumbered for upcoming
services. Encumbering
funds is a beneficial
financial practice that
allows the City to reserve
budgeted amounts for
known future obligations.
This ensures that funds
are available when large,
irregular, or contract-
based expenses arise later
in the fiscal period,
supporting more accurate
budget tracking and
financial planning.
The adjacent table
highlights wages specific
to overtime which were
mainly for Public Safety
needs. This represents 2%
of the biennial budget for
overtime. This has
historically been a high
expense for the City and
efforts are underway to
reduce expenses in this
category. This will be
closely monitored
throughout the biennium.
Page 49 of 137
Revenues
The table above reflects tax revenue received during the month of January
for 2025 and 2024 for comparison purposes.
During January, taxes made up 71% of total revenue received. As seen in the
table, sales tax makes up the majority of that revenue. The sales tax rate is
8.9%. The City receives a share of regular sales tax, criminal justice and
public safety which are distributed by the State and Franklin County.
Growth in the commercial base of the City is providing residents the
opportunity to spend their income within the community. Further, the
Destination Sales Tax State rule coupled with increase in online retail has
contributed to steady growth in sales tax revenue.
The bulk of revenues from property tax are received in two installments as
the deadlines for timely payment are April 30th and October 31st of each
year. While the City received a small amount of payments for property taxes
in January 2025, all were for 2024 tax levy or prior.
Contracts between $100,000 to $300,000
During January, staff entered into a contract for engineering services for the
Sylvester Street Pipe Replacement project. The contract amount is to not
exceed $218K.

Note: Received in Jan. for prior year activity
Page 50 of 137
Permits
A variety of economic factors influence the overall health of the community
and, by extension, the vitality of the General Fund. One key indicator is
permitting activity, which reflects both the growth and desirability of the
community, as well as contributes to building-related sales tax revenue.
Permitting activity has begun the year at a slower pace, which may be
attributed to broader external influences, including the current political and
economic climate. Additionally, seasonal factors such as weather conditions
can also affect the timing and volume of permit issuance.
Staff will continue to monitor permitting trends closely and provide updates
as conditions evolve to ensure timely awareness of potential impacts on
revenue forecasts.

Various economic factors impact community health
and the General Fund's vitality. A key indicator is
permitting activity, which shows community growth
and contributes to building-related sales tax revenue.
This year, permitting has slowed, likely due to external
influences like the political and economic climate, as
well as seasonal factors such as weather. Staff will
monitor trends closely and provide updates to address
potential revenue forecast impacts.

January saw significant one-time payments recorded in the services expense category. During this month, $625,240 was
allocated for forthcoming services. Encumbering funds is a smart financial strategy that enables the City to set aside
budgeted amounts for anticipated future obligations. This practice ensures that funds are readily available for large,
irregular, or contract-related expenses that may occur later in the fiscal period, facilitating more accurate budget
management and financial planning.
Specifically related to overtime, primarily driven by Public Safety needs, accounts for 2% of the biennial budget allocated
for overtime, which has historically been a substantial expense for the City. Efforts are currently in progress to reduce
costs in this area, and this will be monitored closely throughout the biennium.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
P&W Developments LLC is seeking to develop certain property located in the
C-1 Retail Business Zoning District. Preliminary development plans include a
retail fueling station as well as a full-service car wash facility. While a retail
fueling station and car wash is generally permitted in the C-1 District, Pasco
Municipal Code (PMC) Subsection 25.85.020(14) restricts car washes within
300 feet of any residentially zoned district. As such, the intended development
proposal would be virtually impossible to authorize under the City's current
regulations.
Per PMC 25.210.020 (2) c. a property owner may petition the City Council for a
text amendment, which P&W Developments LLC has done,
In response to the petition, at the March 17, 2025 meeting, the Council
determined to conduct an open record hearing to consider the requested text
amendment.
Page 54 of 137
V. DISCUSSION:
The current adopted 2018-2038 Comprehensive Plan provides policies for
enhancing the environment, which supports the expansion of development and
business opportunities while also providing for the compatibility between
commercial and industrial developments and residential and mixed-use
neighborhoods.
Car washes specifically, and similar uses, generally are difficult to fit within a
tidy little box. Each development has many variables that will determine the
compatibility with surrounding properties. Site size, layout and topography in
relationship with adjacent properties will influence impacts. Building design,
specific equipment used, and operations will also affect real or perceived
impacts.
In consideration of this, staff finds that multiple options exist to address the
issue:
Comprehensive Code Review:
In 2021, staff worked with the Planning Commission and presented a draft
ordinance to the City Council for consideration that sought to address typical
commercial conflicts, traffic minimizing as such issues use drive-through
vehicle access and stacking design requirements and noise mitigation
measures that reflect other PMC requirements including the noise regulations
in Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 9.130.
While the ordinance was never formally voted on it included various provisions
including significantly reducing the setback distance to residentially zoned
districts from 300 feet to 125 feet, other tangible mitigation measures such as
the installation of walls or fences and noise reducing landscaping.
Special Use Permit Process:
In lieu of specific prescriptive design and mitigation measures, an ordinance
could be brought that would amend the PMC to allow car wash operations
adjacent to residentially zoned districts through a Conditional Use Permit
process. This would enable the consideration of a proposal whereby the
applicant would be required to present a noise study report prepared by a
qualified professional that demonstrates the provisions of PMC Chapter 9.130
are being met. Any proposal would still be required to adhere to other exiting
land use code requirements including setbacks, parking, landscaping and other
applicable provisions.
While this option provides for more flexibility it does require additional time and
expense in study preparation and public hearing scheduling.
Page 55 of 137
Maintain Status Quo:
Council can elect to support the continuation of current PMC requirements,
deeming them appropriate regulations that allow for reasonable development
opportunities while providing a measure of protection for properties within
residentially zoned districts.
Maintain Status Quo with an Exception:
Allow for a reduction in the 300-foot setback between a carwash and a
residentially zoned district conditioned upon the installation of sound mitigation
measures as recommended by a qualified acoustical consultant and evaluated
by the consultant for effectiveness prior to use. The intent of the mitigation
measures would be to limit the sound from the car wash at the residential zone
to what it would be at 300 feet without mitigation measures in place.
Other Code Amendment:
Council may elect to simply remove the specific provision found in PMC
Section 25.85.020(14) thereby not restricting car washes within 300 feet of
residentially zoned districts. This approach may create legal conflicts for
developers and/or the City if residents of residentially zoned properties
challenge whether proposed or constructed facilities do not effectively adhere
to the noise provisions of PMC Chapter 9.130

Title 25 “Zoning” of the Pasco Municipal Code shall be and hereby is created and shall be read as
follows:
Page 57 of 137
Ordinance – Creating PMC Chapter 25.176 - 2
Chapter 25.176
DRIVE-THROUGH FACILITY DESIGN STANDARDS
Sections:
25.176.010 Purpose.
25.176.020 Application.
25.176.030 Setbacks.
25.176.040 Location.
25.176.050 Parking and Circulation.
25.176.060 Vehicle Stacking Lane Standards.
25.176.070 Noise.
25.176.080 Site Planning.
25.176.010 Purpose.
The regulations of this chapter are intended to allow for drive-through facilities as an accessory
use to permitted commercial uses and to mitigate the impacts such uses create. Of special concern
are noise from idling cars and voice amplification equipment, lighting and queued traffic
interfering with on-site and off-site traffic and pedestrian flow. The specific purposes of this
chapter are to:
(1) Reduce noise, lighting and visual impacts on abutting uses, particularly residential uses;
(2) Improve safety and promote more efficient vehicle and pedestrian circulation; and
(3) Foster and facilitate economic development..
25.176.020 Applicability and Application.
The regulations of this Chapter apply to all uses that have drive-through facilities, and include:
(1) “Drive-through facilities” means an establishment that sells products or provides services
to occupants in vehicles or that services vehicles at drive up to service areas, including drive-in or
drive-up windows and drive through services. A drive-through facility is composed of two parts –
the stacking lanes and the vehicle-related service area. The stacking lanes are the space occupied
by vehicles queueing for the service to be provided. The vehicle-related service area is where the
service occurs. In businesses with service windows, such as coffee shops, the vehicle-related
service area starts at the service window. In businesses where the service occurs indoors, such as
car washes, the vehicle-related service area is the area within the building where the service occurs.
For other drive-through facilities, such as gas pumps, air compressors, vacuum cleaning stations,
the service area is the area where the vehicles are parked during the service. Other examples of
drive-through facilities include, but are not limited to, fast-food restaurants, banks, dry cleaners,
and pharmacies.
Page 58 of 137
Ordinance – Creating PMC Chapter 25.176 - 3
(2) The regulations of this chapter apply only to the portions of the site development that
comprise the drive-through facility. The regulations apply to new developments, the addition of
drive-through facilities to existing developments, and the relocation or business license renewal of
an existing business operating a drive-through facility.
(3) Any property owner applying for or renewing a business license or applying for a binding
site plan which proposes a drive-through facility shall submit a site plan of the drive-through
facility as part of the underlying permit or license application to the Director of Community and
Economic Development or designee. The site plan shall consist of two (2) copies (at a scale of at
least one inch to one hundred feet) of the entire contiguous tract owned by the applicant, in a paper
format of eighteen (18) inches × twenty-four (24) inches with two inch margins. In addition, one
copy of the map shall be submitted to the City in a digital or electronic format as a Portable
Document Format (PDF). The site plan shall accurately depict the proposed drive-through facility.
Applicants seeking to renew a business license need not resubmit identical site plans if the layout
of the facility has not changed since the last licensing period.
(4) In addition to the site plan, additional documentation may be required to ensure compliance
with drive-through facility code standards, as determined by the Director of Community and
Economic Development or designee. Such information may include information needed to
determine the accuracy of information provided (e.g. length of stacking lanes). The Directors may
return any incomplete or inaccurate application materials, including site plans, submitted.
(5) Drive-through facilities lawfully established prior to passage of this code that do not meet
the requirements of this section shall be an established nonconforming use. Such facilities shall
still be required to comply with the other requirements of this section, such as submitting a site
plan. Existing drive-through facilities may be modified, enlarged, or expanded if the applicant
meets all requirements of this chapter. Nothing in this Chapter shall be construed as permitting
any violation of any applicable building or fire code.
25.176.030 Setbacks.
All drive-through facilities shall comply with the setback requirements stated below.
(1) Service areas and stacking lanes must be set back a minimum of five feet from all lot lines.
(2) Service areas and stacking lanes must be set back five feet from all public transportation
rights of way such as sidewalks.
(3) Drive-through facilities in such locations lawfully established prior to passage of this code
shall be an established nonconforming use.
25.176.040 Location.
Applications submitted for drive-through facilities shall comply with the location requirements as
follows:
Page 59 of 137
Ordinance – Creating PMC Chapter 25.176 - 4
(1) Drive-through facilities shall not be permitted within 125 feet of a residentially zoned, or
Comprehensive Plan designated residential property.
(a) Measured as the entry point of the drive-through stacking lane to the nearest
driveway or other entry point of the residential property or subdivision (e.g. dedicated
road).
(b) Distance between the two points shall be measured by calculating the shortest route
between the two points that can be achieved through lawful vehicular travel.
(2) Drive-through facilities shall not be approved within 300 feet of a signalized intersection
operating at a Level of Service (LOS) D or below unless a traffic impact analysis has been
submitted and demonstrates that the use will not impair the efficiency or operation of the
intersection.
(a) Measured as the distance between the entry point of the drive-through stacking lane
and the intersection centroid, or midpoint.
(b) Distance between the two points shall be measured by calculating the shortest route
between the two points that can be achieved through lawful vehicular travel.
(3) All driveway entrances, including stacking lane entrances, must be located at least 175 feet
from a public street intersection.
(a) Measured as the distance between the entry point to the establishment and the
intersection centroid, or midpoint.
(b) Distance between the two points shall be measured by calculating the shortest route
between the two points that can be achieved through lawful vehicular travel.
(4) Drive-through facilities, including stacking lane entrances, must be located at least 150 feet
from adjacent drive-through facilities existing prior to the date of application of the new facility.
(a) Measured as the entry point from each drive-through establishment.
(b) Shared entrances are permitted.
(c) Distance between the two points shall be measured by calculating the shortest route
between the two points that can be achieved through lawful vehicular travel.
(d) Where two applicants proposing new drive-through facilities within 150 feet are
submitted at the same time, the first applicant submitting a completed application shall be
considered an existing facility for the purposes of this section; provided, the existing
facility under this section timely obtains a permit.

Ordinance – Creating PMC Chapter 25.176 - 5
(5) Drive-through facilities are not permitted in the Central Business District, C-2 Zoning
District.
25.176.050 Parking and Circulation.
(1) The primary ingress and egress of a drive-through facility shall be from a collector roadway
or higher.
(2) Reciprocal access between abutting drive-through establishments shall be required where
feasible so that vehicles are not required to enter the public right-of-way to move from one area to

Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4592, rejecting all quotes for
Quote No. 24-977 for City View Cemetery Estate Fence.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
See Below
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
City View Cemetery, located off Oregon Ave adjacent to the highway and rail
yard has historically and currently experiences issues after-hours including:
Theft from the adjacent City Parks and Facilities storage yards, shops
and vehicles
Damage to grave markers including headstones and urns
Theft of flowers or other grave site momentos
Drinking and partying
Overnight camping
To help mitigate these problems City Council approved the installation of an
"Estate" style fence, constructed of block pillars and wrought iron panel
sections, built to meet City design standards, as a 2023 CIP Project with a
budget of $350,000 from the General Fund.
Due to a possible change of ownership and access easement with a privately
Page 65 of 137
owned adjacent parcel staff waited for final design and quote process to ensure
access compatibility delaying overall install until late 2024.
A formal request for quote submittal (Quote No. 24-977) for the construction
and installation of an estate fence at City View Cemetery was issued on
December 11, 2024. Five (5) bids were received and were opened on
December 30, 2024. The lowest responsive quote received was submitted by
Superior Welding and Fabrication for $409,344.21 and far exceeded the
budgeted amount. Therefore, it was determined that the best course of action
for the City is to reject all quotes and re-advertise for new quotes.
Staff have updated the design to use fewer block pillars with more fence panels
and posts, requiring less materials and installation labor, to help align future
quotes with authorized budget.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff requests City Council approve the proposed Resolution rejecting all
quotes for the estate fence at City View Cemetery and authorize the City
Manager or their designee to issue a new call for quotes at a later date with an
updated design that fits within budgeted funds.

Memorandum of Understanding
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4593, authorizing the Interim City
Manager to sign the Memorandum of Understanding for Tri-Cities Regional
Public Facilities District Administration.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Up to $2,000 annually
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Tri-Cities Regional Public Facilities District (TCRPFD) was formed to
authorize projects voter for public propose and authority taxing regional
consideration within the Tri-Cities area. Any proposed projects must receive
voter approval from the residents of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland to
proceed with funding.
TCRPFD Directors, equal with Board of a by governed is nine-member
representation from each of the three cities. Board Members are appointed—
three Pasco, each—by the respective City Councils of Kennewick, and
Richland.
TCRPFD management is responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable
laws and safeguarding public resources from fraud, loss, or abuse. This
Page 68 of 137
includes maintaining effective internal controls and adhering to reporting
requirements established under state law (RCW 43.09.230). These
requirements include the preparation and submission of certified annual reports
to the State Auditor’s Office, summarizing revenues, collections, payables,
expenditures, and outstanding debt.
V. DISCUSSION:
Since its establishment in 2010, the Benton-Franklin Council of Governments
(BFCOG) has provided administrative support services to the TCRPFD under a
direct agreement with the District’s board. Due to the absence of a direct
funding stream, TCRPFD operational expenses have historically been covered
by the three participating cities.
To streamline operations and formalize cost-sharing arrangements, the three
cities have agreed to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
BFCOG. Under this agreement, BFCOG will continue to provide administrative
services on behalf of the cities. Each city will reimburse BFCOG for its share of
the expenses, including direct staff time (billed at cost plus federally negotiated
indirect rates) and other eligible expenses. The total cost will be equally divided
among the three cities and will not exceed $6,000 annually per city.
This new MOU simplifies the previously duplicative expenditure approval and
reimbursement processes, improving administrative efficiency while the
TCRPFD remains in its early planning and development stages.
Staff recommends approval of the resolution authorizing the Interim City
Manager to execute the MOU with Kennewick, Richland, and the Benton-
Franklin Council of Governments for continued administrative support services
to the TCRPFD.

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 4594 - United States Bureau of Reclamation Municipal
and Industrial (M&I) Water Service Contract (5 minute staff presentation)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Resolution
Bureau of Reclamation Municipal and Industrial (M&I) Water Service Contract
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4594, authorizing the Interim City
Manager to execute a Municipal and Industrial Water Supply Contract with the
United States Bureau of Reclamation.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Water Purchase: $48/Acre-Feet of water paid annually to USBR established in
the M&I Contract
Delivery of Water: $184,000 paid annually to the South Columbia Irrigation
District (SCBID) for Capital and O&M for delivery of the first 1,600 Acre-Feet of
water, and $115/Acre-Feet annually for contracted quantities exceeding 1,600
acre-feet.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City's irrigation utility system serves over 9,500 customers and operates
independent of the City’s potable water system. Water for the utility is currently
sourced from an intake at the Columbia River along with 11 well sites.
To provide for the planned expansion and reliability of the irrigation system,
over the several years the City, the United States Bureau of Reclamation
(USBR) and the South Columbia Basin Irrigation District (SCBID) have been
planning and collaborating on a project in which the City purchases water from
Page 79 of 137
USBR which is delivered to the City by SCBID at a location in the end of the
canal systems. Through collaboration the agencies have developed a viable
system that would be of benefit to all parties.
V. DISCUSSION:
The foundation for this initiative is established through the Municipal and
Industrial Contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) for
the purchase of 1,000-acre feet of water to support the irrigation utility. This
infusion of water is critical to addressing the utility's current challenges in
meeting existing customer demand. Additionally, this agreement alleviates the
immediate continued for rights water the acquire to pressure additional
operation and sustainability of the irrigation system.
The cost of the water purchase, delivery and capital and O&M needs for the
utility to operate this new facility have been considered in the most recent Cost
of Service and Revenue Requirement Analysis (rate Study) for irrigation.
Roles and responsibilities are identified in the proposed agreement. Legal
review of the agreement was provided by a specialized attorney in water law.
Key Contract Provisions of the M&I agreement are identified below:
Contract Term and Termination
The with for option the years, automatic for last will contract 10
renewals, up to a maximum of 40 years. There is no obligation for the
City to continue receiving water once the contract ends. The City may
terminate the contract by providing notice before November 1 of the
year before the termination date. The agreement also establishes a
price to subject $48/AF at USBR an to owed Acre-Feet per the
inflationary escalation.
Water Availability and Usage
The City will have access to municipal and industrial (M&I) water on an
interruptible basis, meaning water supply may be limited depending on
federal priorities. The contract allows for up to 1,000 acre-feet (AF) of
water, with delivery only during the irrigation season. If federal laws, like
the Endangered Species Act, affect water availability, service may be
reduced or stopped altogether.
Water Quality and Liability
The water provided is "as-is" and the City is responsible for treating it as
necessary to meet its intended uses. No treatment is anticipated for this
water. The U.S. government makes no guarantees regarding water
quality. of use proper the The also must City the ensure water,
preventing waste or hazards, and USBR will be held harmless for any
Page 80 of 137
issues related to water quality or damage resulting from its use.
The Contract provides that SCBID is responsible for operating the lower
conveyance system and delivering water to the City, but no contract exists
between the City and District yet. A permit between SCBID and the City will be
issued prior to the time of commencement of service for this service. In the
months leading to this presentation City Staff and SCBID have coordinated on
operational needs and have identified a delivery rate per Acre-Feet owed to the
district for the operational costs and capital investments necessary to serve the
City. This rate was confirmed by the Board of Directors at the district on April
10, 2025.
Expansion of the contract is being explored between the parties including:
Absorbing existing private M&I contracts for urban developments in the
vicinity of the pump station; and
An additional allocation from USBR into this system, as water becomes
available.
These may require future amendments to the current M&I Contract or separate
M&I contracts for ease of management and tracking.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed M&I Contract.

quantity of water due to no fault of the Contracting Officer or the District. If the District fails to
determine a conveyance and delivery charge, then the Contractor must inform the Contracting
Officer in writing, and the Contracting Officer may provide the Contractor with alternative
instructions to follow, but in no instance will the Contracting Officer be obligated to do so.
(c) (1) The Contractor shall pay the United States the sum of $48,000.00,
on or before March 1, 2025, and a like payment annually afterwards on or before March 1 of
each succeeding year during the term of this contract, which shall entitle the Contractor to
receive up to One Thousand (1,000) acre-feet of M&I water. No part of the payment will be
refunded in the event Contractor does not utilize its allocated quantity of water due to no fault of
Contracting Officer. No part of the payment will be refunded in the event the United States
delivers water to the PEC Headworks, but the District does not deliver water, whether at all or in
a way to make the water useful to the Contractor. Similarly, if the United States delivers water
to the PEC Headworks but the District does not deliver water, whether at all or in a way to make
the water useful to the Contractor, the Contractor shall still be obligated to pay the United States
in full under this contract.
(2) If contracted water quantities are reduced pursuant to Article 11(b)
the payment required in Article 12(c)(1) will be reduced in proportion to the reduction in water
quantity.
(3) The annual payment set forth in Article 12(c)(1) of this contract is
based on an initial rate of $48.00 per acre-foot. From time to time, the rate per acre-foot and the
annual payment due the United States under Article 12(c)(1) of this contract shall be reviewed by
the Contracting Officer and revised if necessary by the United States. Such review shall be in

economical and beneficial use of water. Water made available under this contract shall not be
permitted to collect or run upon land not owned by the Contractor without proper authorization
from the appropriate federal and state agencies and any affected landowners. The Contractor
shall take appropriate action to avoid conditions hazardous to public health and safety, and to
protect adjacent land from undesirable side effects.
(d) Water provided under this contract may not be available to the Contractor
during peak periods of use for irrigation of Project lands. The Contracting Officer, or if the
Contracting Officer and District so agree, the District, will make the determination of availability
of water with respect to the physical constraints of the delivery system and will control delivery.
(e) The United States does not abandon or relinquish any waste, seepage or
return flow water resulting from activities under this contract, and all such water is reserved to
the United States as set forth in its repayment contract with the District.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
As part of the City’s effort to provide for the proper and necessary development
of a functional transportation network, the City shall, as required by State law
(RCW 35.77.010), develop and adopt annually a Six-Year Transportation
Improvement Program (Six-Year TIP) with such program acting as a guide for
the coordinated development of the City's transportation system. The Six-Year
TIP of the City specifically sets forth those projects and programs of both City
and regional significance that benefit the transportation system and promote
public safety and efficient multi-modal movement.
Projects in the TIP are selected from master plans such as the Transportation
System Master Plan, Broadmoor Master Plan, Downtown Pasco Master Plan,
and through identified are they Safety Plan. Road Local Additionally,
community engagement, stakeholder coordination (e.g., with the Pasco School
District and for Safe Routes to School improvements), and operational
maintenance needs identified by City Departments.
Page 105 of 137
Development of the 2026-2031 Transportation Improvement Program will be
led by Public Works Department, and informed by the City Council, the public,
and other city staff and departments.
Update of the TIP and subsequent submission to the State are statutory
requirements, and while the program is not required to be fiscally constrained,
the program should be practical and feasible. The Council will see many of
these projects again, incorporated with the annual Six-Year Capital
Improvement Plan later this year.
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed TIP project list encompasses 41 projects, 3 programs and 5
studies (49 items in total).
This list excludes the projects previously included in TIP anticipated to be
completed by the end of 2025. For example: Sandifur Parkway and Broadmoor
Blvd. Improvements and Sandifur-Road 108 extension projects.
The proposed list incorporates newly identified projects and plans. For
example: North 4th Avenue Pavement Preservation, South Road 68 Pavement
preservation and Road 68/Taylor Flats Intersection Study (in bold).
Special attention was put forth to accurately represent projects that are funded
with Federal and State dollars. Projects that have received funding in the last
year have been updated to reflect their funding status. As a reminder, this plan
is focused on projects that are anticipated to be delivered by the City, if funding
is secured.
Per State statute, the updated TIP must be adopted by July 1st and then
submitted to the Washington State Secretary of Transportation within 30 days
of adoption. The plan/program may at any time be revised by a majority of the
City Council, but only after a public hearing.
Public Outreach
Two public open house events are scheduled. April 21, 2025 5.30-6.30 PM at
City Hall and Wednesday May 7th, 11.30AM to 1.30PM at GESA stadium. In
the events, staff will solicit community input, feedback, and ideas on projects.
Online platform for submission of comments is available for the general public.
A public hearing is tentatively planned for May 27, 2025.
Next Steps
During this process, staff will seek guidance from City Council to ensure the
TIP is in alignment with the Council's Transportation priorities. Workshops and
public hearings are scheduled during the next 2 months, for staff to gather
Page 106 of 137
feedback from both the Council and the public. This input will be incorporated
into a draft project list for the Six-Year TIP. Adoption of the 2026-2031 TIP is
tentatively scheduled for June 16, 2025.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a long-term, strategic planning tool that
outlines major infrastructure projects over a multi-year period—typically six
years for the City of Pasco. It includes initiatives such as constructing and
maintaining public buildings, parks, roads, and utility systems (Water, Sewer,
PWRF, Irrigation and storm). The CIP supports the City in managing resources
effectively, fiscally transparent, ensuring critical needs, prioritizing and
responsible development. While the CIP outlines proposed expenditures and
serves as a guide for future budgeting decisions, it does not allocate actual
funding or include detailed project designs. It is reviewed and updated annually
to reflect evolving priorities and conditions.
The CIP is shaped by several key inputs, including masterplans, operational
assessments, with community feedback, and partnerships outside
organizations. These sources help identify and prioritize projects that align with
city goals and community needs. Funding comes from a variety of sources

adjustment. Transportation list is purposely omitted, to allow for the TIP
process to be completed and then incorporated into this plan. This approach
will ensure consistency between documents.
Public Outreach
Two public open house events are scheduled. April 21, 2025 5:30 PM to 6:30
PM at City Hall and Wednesday May 7, 2025, 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM at GESA

on projects. Online platform for submission of comments is available for the
general public.
Next Steps
During this process, staff will seek guidance from City Council to ensure the
CIP reflects Council's priorities. Workshops are anticipated to take place for
frequent updates to council and refinement of the list and its prioritization.
As discussed in 2024, the City’s utility systems face significant capital needs,
and the development of the 2026–2031 CIP is aligned with a cost of service
analysis to determine necessary revenue adjustments for long-term financial
stability, includes This utilities. Sewer specially Water in reviewing and
connection fees and utility rates.
Adoption of CIP is expected in the fall of 2025.

Understanding the Capital Improvement Plan Preparation Process
What is a Capital Improvement Plan?
A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a comprehensive, strategic plan that outlines proposed capital
projects over a multi-year period, typically five to ten years. City of Pasco's CIP is a 6-year plan that
is updated annually. The CIP encompasses major infrastructure projects such as the construction
and maintenance of public buildings, parks, streets, and water/sewer systems. It serves as a
planning tool that helps the City manage and prioritize capital projects, ensuring that critical
infrastructure is developed and maintained in a systematic and fiscally responsible manner.
Importance of a CIP:
• Strategic Planning: Helps the City identify and prioritize needs, allowing for strategic
allocation of resources.
• Fiscal Responsibility: Promotes disciplined budgeting and financial planning, aiding in the
avoidance of unnecessary debt.
• Transparency and Accountability: Provides a clear roadmap for stakeholders, including
residents, businesses, and government officials, fostering trust through transparent
governance.
• Coordination: Ensures coordination among various City departments and aligns with
broader city goals and objectives.
What a CIP is Not
Understanding what a CIP is not is equally important:
• Not a Budget: While the CIP outlines planned expenditures, it does not allocate funds.
Actual funding decisions are made through the City’s biennial budgeting process.
• Not Static: The CIP is a dynamic document, subject to revisions based on changing
priorities, unforeseen circumstances, and financial realities.
• Not a Detailed Project Plan: The CIP provides a high-level overview of projects, not
detailed project specifications or designs.
Factors in CIP Development
The development of the CIP involves various critical factors to ensure comprehensive planning and
alignment with community and City Council's goals and workplan. These factors include:
Page 130 of 137

Masterplans and Comprehensive System Plan
Projects are often identified from long range planning documents (typically 20-year horizon) and
areas masterplans. These plans are for example, Comprehensive Water System plan,
Transportation System Masterplan, Broadmoor Area Masterplan, Downtown Masterplan, Parks
masterplan, etc.
Projects identified in these plans are considered for incorporation into the 6-year CIP.
Needs identified through operational deficiencies
Assessment
Evaluating the condition and needs of public infrastructure, buildings and facilities to prioritize
maintenance, upgrades, and new construction projects. This ensures the City’s infrastructure
supports effective service delivery.
Community Input
Listening Sessions: Conducting listening sessions with residents to gather their input and feedback
on priority projects and community needs. These sessions provide a platform for direct community
engagement and ensure that the CIP reflects the voices of our residents.
External Partnerships
Collaborations: Working with regional and state agencies, non-profits, and private sector partners
to leverage resources, expertise, and funding for capital projects. Partnerships can enhance the
scope and impact of the CIP.
Funding
The successful implementation of the CIP relies on securing diverse funding sources to support the
planned projects. The primary funding sources include:
• General Fund: Allocations from the City’s general operating budget.
• Grants: State, federal, and private grants designated for specific types of infrastructure
projects.
• Bonds: Issuance of municipal bonds to raise capital for large-scale projects, repaid over
time through tax revenues or other City income.
• Impact Fees: Fees collected from developers to fund infrastructure improvements
necessitated by new development.
• Utility Revenues: Funds generated from water, sewer, and stormwater utility fees
dedicated to maintaining and upgrading utility infrastructure.
Page 131 of 137

• Public-Private Partnerships: Collaborative agreements with private sector entities to
finance and develop specific projects.
• Special Assessments: Additional charges levied on properties that benefit directly from
specific infrastructure improvements.
• Local Improvement Districts (LIDs): Areas where property owners agree to fund
infrastructure improvements through additional property taxes or assessments.
Integration with the Transportation Improvement Plan
The CIP is closely integrated with the Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP), which specifically
focuses on transportation-related infrastructure projects. The TIP includes projects such as road
improvements and pedestrian/bicycle facilities. Key points of integration include:
• Coordination of Projects: Transportation projects in the TIP are incorporated into the
broader CIP to ensure cohesive planning and efficient use of resources.
• Prioritization and Funding: Transportation projects are evaluated alongside other capital
projects to determine priorities and funding allocation within the overall CIP framework.
• Consistency with Strategic Goals: Both the TIP and CIP align with the city’s strategic goals,
ensuring transportation projects support broader economic development, sustainability,
and community livability objectives.
Role of the CIP in the Biennial Budgeting Process
The CIP plays a crucial role in the City’s biennial budgeting process by providing a foundation for
capital expenditure decisions. Here’s how the CIP is utilized:
• Budget Formulation: The CIP informs the development of the capital budget by identifying
projects that require funding in the upcoming budget cycle.
• Funding Allocation: Projects listed in the CIP are evaluated based on priority, feasibility,
and available funding, guiding the allocation of resources in the biennial budget.
• Financial Planning: The CIP helps in forecasting long-term financial needs and obligations,
facilitating prudent financial management and debt planning.
• Monitoring and Accountability: Once the biennial budget is approved, the CIP serves as a
reference for tracking the progress and implementation of capital projects, ensuring
accountability and adherence to planned timelines and budgets.
