RESOLUTION NO. 4593
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON,
AUTHORIZING THE INTERIM CITY MANAGER TO SIGN A
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE TRI-CITIES REGIONAL
PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION.
WHEREAS, the Tri-Cities Regional Public Facilities District (TCRPFD) was formed in
2010 to authorize taxing authority and propose regional public projects for voter 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; and
WHEREAS, the TCRPFD is governed by a nine-member Board of Directors, with equal
representation from each of the three Cities. Board members are appointed by the respective City
Councils of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland; and
WHEREAS, since its establishment, the Benton-Franklin Council of Governments
(BFCOG) has provided administrative support services to the TCRPFD under a direct agreement
with the TCRPFD’s Board. Due to the absence of a direct funding stream, TCRPFD operational
expenses have historically been covered by the three participating cities; and
WHEREAS, the intent of the Memorandum of Agreement (MOU) is to streamline
operations and formalize cost-sharing arrangements among the three cities wherein 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PASCO, WASHINGTON:
That the City Council of the City of Pasco hereby authorizes the Memorandum of
Understanding for Tri-Cities Regional Public Facilities District Administration with the Benton-
Franklin Council of Governments; a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference as Exhibit A.
Be It Further Resolved, that the Interim City Manager of the City of Pasco, Washington,
is hereby authorized, empowered, and directed to sign and execute the Memorandum of
Understanding.
Be It Further Resolved, that this Resolution shall take effect immediately.
Resolution – MOU for TCRPFD Administration - 2
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington, on this 21st day of April,
2025.
