N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 2017, the Washington State Legislature passed RCW 35.90, requiring cities
with general business license programs to adopt a model ordinance for out-of-
city businesses, including standardized exemption thresholds. The City of
Pasco has since implemented several ordinance updates in response to this
state mandate and related changes.
In 2017, Ordinance No. 4372 amended the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC)
Sections 5.04.010 and 5.04.170 to align with the initial state requirements,
including $2,000 a and business" in definition of uniform a "engaging
exemption threshold for out-of-city businesses without a physical presence in
Pasco.
In 2018, Ordinance No. 4397 reaffirmed and clarified the exemption provisions
and business license definitions to ensure consistency with RCW 35.90 and
with the administration of licenses through the Washington State Business
Page 21 of 138
Licensing Service (BLS).
In 2021, Ordinance No. 4441 updated the PMC to reflect additional changes in
how general business licenses are administered, and to clarify applicability and
fee structures for businesses operating within and outside city limits.
As part of the scheduled model ordinance review process, the Association of
Washington Cities (AWC), in coordination with the Department of Revenue,
has now updated the statewide model ordinance to increase the exemption
threshold for out-of-city businesses to $4,000 in gross income, effective
January 1, 2026. The update also introduces a built-in Consumer Price Index
(CPI-U) adjustment, which will automatically revise the threshold every four
years based on cumulative inflation.
In order to remain in compliance with RCW 35.90 and maintain the City’s
partnership with the Business Licensing Service, the City of Pasco must adopt
the updated threshold and associated CPI adjustment provisions by providing
at least 75 days’ notice to the Department of Revenue in advance of the
January 1, 2026, effective date.
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed ordinance amends the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Section
5.05.170 to align with the updated model ordinance developed by the
Association of Washington Cities (AWC) in partnership with the Washington
State Department of Revenue. This update is required under RCW 35.90.080,
which mandates that all cities with a general business license program adopt
the model language, including the monetary exemption threshold, to ensure
uniformity across jurisdictions.
Under the current PMC, out-of-city businesses that do not maintain a
physical presence in Pasco are exempt from obtaining a general business
license if they generate $2,000 or less in annual gross revenue within the City.
The updated model ordinance increases this threshold to $4,000, effective
January 1, 2026, and introduces an automatic inflation adjustment every four
years based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U),
Western Region, rounded to the nearest $100.
Beyond the state required changes, staff is also recommending that we extend
this exemption to businesses physically located within the City but remain
subject to routine fire inspections if classified as a moderate to high hazard
occupancy or if specific conditions in a low hazard occupancy warrant routine
inspection.
Because the City issues and renews its business licenses through the
Page 22 of 138
Washington State Business Licensing Service (BLS), the City must provide a
minimum of 75 days’ notice to the Department of Revenue in order to meet the
January 1, 2026, implementation date. Adoption of the ordinance now ensures
compliance with this timeline and avoids disruption to the BLS partnership.
This was presented at the August 25, 2025 Council Workshop.
Staff recommends adopting these changes to remain in compliance with RCW
35.90 and to ensure continued partnership with the Business Licensing
Service.

ORDINANCE NO. ____
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON,
AMENDING PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 5.05.170 EXEMPTIONS
RELATED TO BUSINESS LICENSES AND REGULATION.
WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature enacted RCW 35.90, requiring all cities
with general business license programs to adopt a model ordinance developed in partnership with
the Department of Revenue and the Association of Washington Cities; and
WHEREAS, under RCW 35.90.080, the Association of Washington Cities, in
coordination with a representative committee of cities and with input from business stakeholders,
was required to develop a model ordinance that includes a uniform minimum licensing threshold
for out-of-city businesses; and
WHEREAS, as part of the required periodic update to the model ordinance, the threshold
for requiring a general business license for out-of-city businesses has been increased from $2,000
to $4,000 in annual revenue, effective January 1, 2026, and must be adopted by all participating
cities; and
WHEREAS, the updated model ordinance also includes a mandatory inflation adjustment
mechanism that increases the threshold every four years based on cumulative inflation, as
measured by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), Western Region,
rounded to the nearest $100; and
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco administers its general business license program through
the Washington State Business Licensing Service (BLS) and is, therefore, required by RCW
35.90.070 to provide at least 75 days’ notice of this change to the Department of Revenue prior to
implementation; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that the monetary threshold exemption for
business license requirements should apply to all businesses, whether located within or outside
city limits, in order to reduce regulatory burden on businesses with minimal economi c activity;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that adopting the updated model threshold and CPI
adjustment provisions is necessary to comply with State law and further supports extending the
monetary threshold exemption to businesses located within the City in order to ensure consistency,
reduce regulatory burden, and maintain participation in the Business Licensing Service (BLS)
program.

Ordinance – Amending PMC 5.05.170 Exemptions Related to Business Licenses and Regulation - 2
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO,
WASHINGTON DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That Section 5.05.170 of the Pasco Municipal Code entitled “Exemptions”
is hereby amended and shall read as follows:
5.05.170 Exemptions.
To the extent set forth in this chapter, the following persons and businesses shall be
exempt from the registration, license and/or license fee requirements as outlined in
this chapter:
(1) Monetary Threshold. Any person or business whose annual value of products,
gross proceeds of sales, or gross income of the business in the City is equal to or
less than $2,000 and who does not maintain a place of business at a commercial
location within the City shall be exempt from the general business license
requirements in this chapter. The exemption does not apply to regulatory license
requirements or activities that require a specialized permit.
Beginning January 1, 2026, the threshold amount is $4000. The threshold amount
will be adjusted every forty-eight months on January 1, by an amount equal to the
increase in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”) for “West Urban, All Urban
Consumers” (CPI-U) for each 12-month period ending on June 30 as published by
the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics or successor
agency. To calculate this adjustment, the current rate will be multiplied by one plus
the cumulative four-year (forty-eight month) CPI increase using each 12-month
period ending on June 30 of each prior year, and rounded to the nearest $100.
However, if any of the annual CPI increases are more than five (5) percent, a five
(5) percent increase will be used in computing the annual basis and if any of the
annual CPI decreased during the forty-eight-month period, a zero (0) percent
increase will be used in computing the annual basis.
(2) Nonprofit Organizations. Nonprofit organizations operating without private
profit, either regularly or temporarily, for a public, charitable, educational, literary,
fraternal or religious purpose shall apply for a no fee business license at the City
and conduct activities only after the no fee business license has been issued. This
no fee provision shall apply only to the nonprofit organization but not persons
sponsored by nonprofit organizations if any private profit whatsoever is derived
from its operation. Any business conducted where only a part of the proceeds go to
a nonprofit organization is not exempt from a business license fee.
[Ord. 4441 § 5, 2019; Ord. 4397 § 2, 2018; Ord. 4380 § 1, 2018; Ord. 4372 § 17,
2017; Ord. 3394 § 1, 1999; Ord. 2619 § 1, 1986; Ord. 1907 § 4, 1977; Code 1970

of this Ordinance should be held to the invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality thereof shall not affect the validity or
constitutionality of any other section, subsection, sentence, clause phrase or word of this

• steps taken and standards imposed for the application and review
process leading to the award of funds;
• utilization of Consortium-approved forms, policies, and procedures.
iii. Affirmatively furthering fair housing in the Member’s jurisdiction. Such
actions may include planning, education, outreach, and enforcement
activities.
iv. Preparing and submitting quarterly and annual performance reports
regarding HOME activities.
v. Preparing and submitting quarterly billing by the 15th of April, July, and
October, with the final quarter submission due by January 15th.
vi. Preparing and submitting other documents as required by separate HOME
written agreements governing the relationship between the Lead Entity
and members acting as Subrecipient Administrators.
d. Allocation of HOME Funds. HOME funds will be allocated between the
Members in the following manner:
Page 36 of 138
Page 7 of 12
i. The HOME regulations under 24 CFR 92 allow for 10% of the annual
HOME allocation to be used for eligible administration and planning
costs. The Lead Entity is entitled to this 10% allocation.
ii. Each member city shall utilize its program income to cover administrative
costs. If a member city depletes its program income, has unmet
administrative expenses, and the 10% entitlement allocation has funds
remaining at year-end, the city may submit a request to the consortium to
cover the shortfall.
The consortium will vote on the request, requiring a two-third (2/3)
majority for approval.
• If the request is approved, the remaining 10% allocation will be used
to cover the city's administrative expenses.
• If the request is denied, the member city is responsible for covering
its own administrative costs.
iii. Fifteen percent (15%) of the overall allocation will remain with the Lead
Entity to be utilized for CHDO Set-Aside activities. CHDO projects will
be identified by Members on a rotating basis, as described in Section 4.f.
below.
iv. A minimum of $30,000 of the yearly allocation shall be awarded for
homebuyer assistance. The remaining allocation shall be for Tenant-Based
Rental Assistance (TBRA), creation of affordable housing, and/or
rehabilitation. These funds shall be divided equally among members. Each
member is entitled to plan for the expenditures of funds in an amount
equal to their share of the HOME grant award, as is determined during
each fiscal year of this agreement and identified in the Annual Action
Plan. If desired and applicable, the cities of Kennewick and Pasco may
serve as Subrecipient Administrators to the Lead Entity to oversee
investment of their respective portion of HOME funds.
v. When one or more Members has $100,000 or more in unspent
uncommitted homebuyer assistance funds and/or returned program
income, said funds may be used for affordable housing, including direct
rental assistance through Tenant-Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) or
HOME rehabilitation. Members will work together to identify potential
rental development projects to be undertaken by a qualified housing
organization, including but not limited to a Public Housing Authority
(PHA), who shall serve as either sponsor, owner or developer. Projects
will be reviewed and selected based on developer financial capacity,
experience, project feasibility, readiness to proceed, and community
impact. Members will aim to rotate the city location of projects when
possible, and/or INFILL Homebuyer development with member majority
rules for the project location. After members identify affordable housing
Page 37 of 138
Page 8 of 12
project(s), Lead Entity will act as project manager, and shall perform
required administrative duties to assess, approve, and fund projects.
e. Funding Timelines. Any HOME funds set aside for a member and not committed
to a project within 18 months or expended within 24 months of the award of
HOME funds to the Tri-Cities HOME Consortium, will be made available to
other projects across the Consortium. Reallocation will be executed by the Lead
Entity with written notification of affected member(s). Members are aware that if
funds are not committed and expended according to effective HUD deadlines, that
HUD will recapture the funds. Such a recapture will reduce the availability of
funds for that individual member by the amount determined by HUD to be in non-
compliance.
f. CHDO Set Aside. Fifteen percent (15%) or more of the overall allocation will
remain with Lead Entity to be utilized for CHDO Set-Aside activities. Members
will work together to identify CHDO projects, and funding will be based
primarily on community impact, developer capacity, project feasibility, and
readiness to proceed. Members will aim to rotate the location of CHDO projects
when possible. After members identify CHDO project(s), the Lead Entity will
perform required administrative duties to assess, approve, and fund projects.
g. Program Income. Program income must be remitted to the Lead Entity within
thirty (30) days of receipt. HOME Program Income, as defined in federal
regulations, that is generated by a member shall be added to the amount of HOME
funds constituting the member’s share as defined in Section 4.d.iii herein and the
approved Annual Action Plan. At the Member’s option, the allowable percentage
of program income may be used by the individual member to be applied towards
eligible and allowable administrative costs incurred by the member. Each member
acting as a Subrecipient Administrator will be responsible for providing Lead
Entity with a recap of expenditures, and other documentation as may be requested
by Lead Entity, within thirty (30) days and will submit to the Lead Entity any
interest earned on the retained HOME dollars.
h. Administrative Costs. Each Member will be independently responsible for any
administrative costs each incurs associated with 1) development and
implementation of the CPS; 2) the annual re-examination of needs prior to setting
each year’s Action Plan; and 3) the awarding of HOME Program funds to sub-
recipients, CHDOs, and/or other developers.
i. HOME Match. Each member is responsible for tracking and reporting HOME
Match for the projects they fund, implement, and/or oversee. Should the
Consortium’s accrued match balance fall below one full year’s match obligation,
each member shall be responsible for generating the required match based on its
share of HOME funds. If the match cannot be supplied by the member
responsible, then HOME funds and associated match obligation may be
transferred to another member by the Lead Entity. If a member fails to supply
Page 38 of 138
Page 9 of 12
sufficient match, its share of HOME funding may be reduced commensurate with
the match deficiency, as delineated in any related Subrecipient Agreements.
j. Repayment of HOME Funds. Lead Entity has the responsibility to repay any
HOME funds to the HOME Investment Trust Account that HUD determines were
not used in accordance with the HOME regulations. To the extent a member
acting as Subrecipient Administrator was the entity that did not use the funds in
compliance with regulations, then upon the repayment of funds by the Lead
Entity, the member responsible for the non-compliance will immediately
reimburse the Lead Entity. To the extent that a sub-recipient or CHDO with the
entity did not use the funds in compliance with regulations, then the sub-recipient
will be responsible for reimbursing the Lead Entity.
Should any member fail to meet any of the obligations or exceed any of the
limitations described herein or as provided in written agreements, and should such
failure jeopardize compliance of the Consortium as a whole, the Lead Entity has
final control over re-distribution of funds among members in order to ensure that
all grant requirements are met.
k. Reporting and Records. Each member agrees to immediately make available to
the Lead Entity upon request all records and access concerning the activities
carried out under this Agreement for inspection by the Lead Entity, State, or
Federal Officials.
l. Expiration. Upon termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 6.a., the
balance of funds which have not been committed will be returned to HUD for
reallocation. Committed but incomplete projects and activities will be completed
by the respective member who, acting as a Subrecipient Administrator, initiated
such project or activity.
m. Long-Term HOME Requirements. Members acknowledge they each may have
obligations to abide by HOME requirements throughout a project’s long-term
period of affordability that may extend beyond the termination of this Interlocal
Agreement. The Lead Entity is responsible for long-term requirements per HOME
regulations, and Subrecipient Administrators will be responsible as delineated in
their individual HOME written agreements with the Lead Entity.
SECTION 5: DISTRIBUTION OF FUNDS
The Lead Entity shall issue a Notification of Fund Availability (NOFA) indicating the amount of
funds available to each Member no later than thirty (30) calendar days from notification by HUD
that HOME funds have been awarded to the Consortium. An activity shall be considered eligible
if it conforms to the requirements of Title 24 CFR Part 92.
SECTION 6: TERM OF THE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT
Page 39 of 138
Page 10 of 12
a. The members agree that the term of this Interlocal Agreement is the length of time
necessary to carry out all activities that will be funded from funds awarded for
blocks of three (3) federal fiscal years. The program year start date for the
Consortium is January 1.
b. All members will remain members of the Tri-Cities HOME Consortium for the
entire period of any term of this Agreement.
c. This Agreement shall automatically renew for participation in successive three-
year qualification periods/terms per Section 2.e herein unless terminated by
written agreement of all members.
SECTION 7: ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
The HOME Consortium will retain ten (10) percent of the grant, or the maximum allowed by the
program regulations for administration and management of the HOME program. The Lead
Entity will oversee an annual process to budget administrative fees. Only costs associated with
the management and administration of the HOME program may be charged against HOME
administrative allocations. Program income generated by other member programs will not be
included in the 10% calculation unless agreed upon by the respective member(s).
a. Administrative Shortfalls. Administrative shortfalls by the Lead Entity shall be
addressed annually. Member cities shall agree to split such shortfalls equally.
Members may agree to utilize the 10% administrative funds generated by their
program income to use toward administrative shortfalls experienced by the Lead
Entity.
b. Negative Interest. In the event that negative interest occurs as a result of the
action(s) of a particular member, then that member is fully responsible for
reimbursing the Lead Entity; PROVIDED, however, that if negative interest
occurs that is not directly related to a single member’s actions, then each member
shall equally share in the cost of the negative interest. Note that negative interest
earnings cannot be claimed as an administrative cost and must be reimbursed
from non-federal funds.
SECTION 8: AMENDMENTS
Amendment to this Interlocal Agreement for the Tri-City HOME Consortium shall be in writing
and by unanimous agreement of the members. This includes an amendment to add new
Consortium members. Members agree to jointly develop amendment language for approval by
the legislative authority of each member.
SECTION 9: POSTING OF DOCUMENT
Upon full execution of this Agreement and approval by HUD, this Agreement shall be posted on
the Lead Entity’s website for purposes of meeting the recording requirements of Ch. 39.34
Page 40 of 138
Page 11 of 12
RCW, the Interlocal Cooperation Act. Although a Member may choose to record this
Agreement, recording with the Benton County Auditor’s Office or Franklin County Auditor’s
Office is not required and in no way affects the validity of this Agreement or any amendments
thereto.
SECTION 10: NO SEPARATE LEGAL ENTITY
No separate legal entity is created by the execution of this Interlocal Agreement. Title to real
property, if applicable, will be held in the name of the respective member jurisdiction or the
name of the Lead Entity.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The improvements at the West Pasco Water Treatment (WPWTP) facility
provide cost-effective expansion and resiliency for the City’s water system. The
WPWTP Phase 2 improvements expanded the pumping capacity of the plant
from the 6MGD to 12 MGD. This expansion complemented Treatment
expansion accomplished in Phase 1 at this Facility. These improvements are
Page 43 of 138
critical as Pasco's main water treatment facility (Butterfield WTP) is aging and
will be undergoing planned extensive improvements in the coming years.
Increasing distribution capacity at the WPWTP provides for additional supply to
meet our current and future potable water demands, as well as provides much-
needed supply resiliency for existing water customers.
On July 18, 2022, Council awarded the WPWTP Improvements Phase 2
contract to Apollo, Inc. of Pasco, WA in the amount of $10,349,688.60 via

($13,606,000.00).
Since construction began, the project required 15 Change Orders for a total of
$748,823.22. The Change Orders addressed electrical and mechanical design
adjustments, asphalt timing constraints, various existing equipment updates,
security and safety changes, increased emergency power, and sales tax
increases from 8.7% to 8.9%.
V. DISCUSSION:
This item was presented to Council at the August 25, 2025, Workshop as a

Proclamation
“Attendance Awareness Month”
September 2025
WHEREAS, our region is experiencing a school absenteeism crisis, making good attendance
more essential than ever to student well-being, achievement, and graduation thus influencing the
career opportunities for the youngest community members as they enter adulthood; and
WHEREAS, reducing chronic absence (missing 10% or more of school for any reason) requires
a comprehensive, collaborative approach that starts with prevention and early intervention and
supports ongoing parent and caregiver awareness of the importance of each hour of school
attendance; and
WHEREAS, improving attendance and engagement takes families, school systems, business
owners and employees, elected leaders, and other community partners working together to address
the factors that cause students to miss school and those that increase student attendance; and
NOW, THEREFORE, I, David Milne, Mayor of the City of Pasco, Washington, do hereby
proclaim September 2025 as
“Attendance Awareness Month”
and encourage all residents to join in and stand with the nation in its commitment to the academic
success of all students by focusing on reducing absenteeism to give all children an equal opportunity
to learn, grow, and thrive as they gain the knowledge and skills needed for high school graduation,
the essential pathway to careers needed in our region.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
CONDUCT A PUBLIC HEARING
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4786, relating to annexation and
annexing certain real property to the City of Pasco and, further, authorize
publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed annexation will increase the City’s assessed valuation by
approximately $5.4 million, expanding the property tax base. Located within the
Urban Growth Area (UGA), the site is intended for future residential
development. While the City will assume responsibility for services within the
public right-of-way, extending utilities will require coordination among affected
parties, with the goal of placing infrastructure within City right-of-way.
Future housing is expected to generate revenue through property taxes, utility
connections, and service fees to help offset service costs.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Page 56 of 138
On April 2, 2025, property owners representing at least ten percent of the land
generally located south of Burns Road, east of Shoreline Road, west of Road
122, and north of the anticipated Sandifur Parkway (Section 12, Township 9N,
Range 28 E.W.M.) submitted a Notice of Intent to initiate annexation. City staff
reviewed and confirmed that the Notice met the required signature threshold to
proceed with the annexation process.
On May 19, 2025, the City Council passed Resolution No. 4601, which set
June 2, 2025, at 7:00 PM as the date and time to consider the Notice of Intent.
At formally No. Resolution passed 4606, City the meeting, that Council
accepting the Notice, establishing the boundary for the proposed annexation
which that included a portion of Burns Road right-of-way, confirming
simultaneous zoning would not be required, and requiring the assumption of a
proportionate share of the City’s existing bonded indebtedness.
Subsequently, on June 17, 2025, the City received a petition signed by
property owners representing at least sixty percent of the total assessed value
within the proposed annexation area. Upon receipt, the Franklin County
Assessor requested a legal description, which was provided on July 21, 2025,
and the petition was certified as sufficient on July 23, 2025.
Notice of this public hearing, which encouraged public testimony, was posted in
three public locations within the subject territory on August 8, 2025, and
published in the Tri-City Herald on August 10, 2025, in accordance with RCW
35A.14.130 and PMC 4.02.090(4)(a) and (b).
Surrounding Annexation and Zoning History:
North: Adjacent properties to the north remain unannexed but are within
the UGA and designated as Low Density Residential in the City’s
Comprehensive Plan. These parcels are primarily developed with single-
family homes on half-acre lots.
East: Properties to the east were annexed in 1998 via Ordinance No.
3305 and have since been developed with single-family residential
housing. These areas are designated Low Density Residential in the
Broadmoor Master Plan.
West: Properties west remain unannexed and are designated Mixed
Residential/Commercial in the Broadmoor Master Plan. These
properties support a mix of agricultural and single-family residential
uses. Additionally, a parcel southwest of the proposed annexation area
is designated for Open Space/Parks.
South: Parcel 126160174, located directly south, remains unannexed
and in agricultural use but will be critical for future City utility extensions
for the annexed area. Further south, properties annexed in 1981 were
developed with a concrete batch plant. The Broadmoor Master Plan
designates these southern properties as Mixed Residential/Commercial
and Medium Density Residential.
Page 57 of 138
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed annexation will bring the subject area into the City of Pasco and
will be subject to the following conditions:
The Pasco Broadmoor Master Plan will apply to the annexed area.
The area will assume a proportionate share of the City’s existing bonded
indebtedness.
The annexed territory is recommended for inclusion within City Council
District No. 5.
Pursuant to PMC 1.15.110, when additional territory is annexed into the City, it
may, by action of the City Council, be added to contiguous council districts or
assigned to another district as deemed appropriate. This assignment does not
preclude the City Council’s authority to redistrict after 12 months from the date
of the most recent division.
were hearings determination zoning this with conjunction In annexation,
conducted on July 9 and August 13, 2025. The Hearing Examiner has not yet
issued zoning determinations; associated the on recommendations two
however, those recommendations may be received prior to final action on this
annexation. The related zoning ordinances will be presented separately at a
later date but will be considered in coordination with this annexation.
Conclusion & Recommendation
If approved, this annexation, along with the upcoming zoning determination
ordinances will facilitate future residential development within the UGA and
further the City’s long-term growth goals by expanding housing opportunities
consistent with the Broadmoor Master Plan, which is expected to
accommodate a significant portion of the area’s growth.
Staff recommends that City Council approve the proposed annexation, apply
the Broadmoor Master Plan designation to the area, require the annexed area
to assume its proportionate share of existing bonded indebtedness, and assign
it to City Council District No. 5.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council July 28, 2025
TO: Harold Stewart City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 9/2/25
FROM: Haylie Matson, Director
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Public Hearing & Ordinance No. 4787 - Amendment to the Pasco
Municipal Code Section 25.85.020(14) Related to Car Washes (5 minute
staff presentation)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
HOLD A PUBLIC HEARING
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4787, amending Pasco Municipal
Code Subsection 25.85.020(14) related to car washes in C-1 Retail Business
District.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On May 5, 2025, the Pasco City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4766, which
amended the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) by adding provisions related to
various drive-through facilities including but not limited to car washes.
On August 4, 2025, the Pasco City Council adopted Resolution 4634, setting
September 2, 2025 as the date to conduct the public hearing to consider a
minor revision to PMC 25.85.020(14), which had originally been intended to be
included in Ordinance No. 4766; however, was inadvertently omitted.
V. DISCUSSION:
One element of the new PMC Chapter for drive-through facility design
Page 87 of 138
standards provided specific distance requirements between drive-through
facilities and residentially zoned properties. The over-all intent of the code
amendment was to ensure consistency on how impact mitigations would be
applied across various zoning districts throughout the City.
Recently, staff has discovered a conflict between the new PMC Chapter 25.176
and PMC Subsection 25.85.020(14), which requires City Council action to
resolve. Amendment of PMC Subsection 25.85.020(14), while referenced in
the staff presentation, was not addressed in the adopted ordinance. To resolve
the matter, staff is recommending a simple ordinance repealing the existing
verbiage PMC 25.85.020(14), and replace with language that allows car
washes in the C-1 zoning district but provides for a reference to additional
standards, former the between conflict which remove will distance the
requirement of 300 feet between residentially zoned properties and drive-
through facilities to the new requirement of 125 feet separation and additional
specific noise and traffic impact mitigations and reflecting Council's direction.
Resolution No. 4634 set the public hearing for tonight. After the public hearing
concludes, staff recommends adopting the Ordinance amending the PMC
related to car washes in C-1 zoning district.

MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4644, setting 7:00 PM, Monday,
October 20, 2025, as the date and time for a public hearing to consider
vacation of a portion of Road 104 right-of-way, as established by Special
Warranty Deed under Auditor's File Number 505754.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 1968, the approval of the Peppermint Terrace Third Addition subdivision
established Tract “A.” On January 12, 1994, a Special Warranty Deed granted
“A portion of ‘Tract A’ of Peppermint Terrace 3rd Addition, being the 60 feet
along the westerly line of Tract ‘A’ of Peppermint Terrace 3rd Addition for road
right-of-way according to the plat thereof recorded in Volume ‘D’ of Plats, page
19, in Franklin County, Washington” to Franklin County.
Page 93 of 138
In 2001, via Ordinance No. 3462, the City of Pasco annexed this area.
On July 30, 2025, the representative of Rocky Hills Management LP, along
with south-Hope the owner property to the of signature the neighboring
Fellowship, owners of Parcel Nos. 118170168 and 118211328, submitted a
petition to vacate a portion of Road 104 right-of-way established by AFN
505754.
The portion of Road 104 right-of-way proposed to be vacated is not needed for
future development and access and was prematurely incorporated into Lots 61
through 63 and Parcel No. 118211328 during the Magnolia Heights preliminary
plat process. Upon discovery, the City processed a minor adjustment memo to
proceed with the final plat for Phase 1 of the affected preliminary plat, Magnolia
Heights. This vacation process will ultimately benefit the identified lots and
parcel while completing the correction through the proper legal procedure.
aligned existing to due fully Furthermore, is 104 Road although not
development, its extension to the northeast will connect with Road 100 as part
of the Phase 1 plat. This connection may be viewed as a potential trade-off for
vacating the subject portion of right-of-way. The developed lot at 4116 Road
100 will not be impacted, as its primary access is from Road 100 rather than
the unimproved segment of Road 104.
Per when complete a 12.40.040, Section (PMC) Code Municipal Pasco
vacation petition is submitted, the Council is required to adopt a resolution
setting a date for a public hearing on the proposed vacation. This hearing must
be scheduled no less than 20 days and no more than 60 days from the date
the resolution is passed. The resolution initiating the vacation and the
resolution setting the hearing may be combined into a single resolution.
Although not directly related to the PMC Chapter 12.40, it is worth noting that
PMC 21.20.050, Lot Requirements, Number 1, states that lots with double
frontage shall be avoided when possible. This vacation will also prevent lots
with double frontage, aligning with that standard.
V. DISCUSSION:
In evaluating the proposed right-of-way vacation, consideration has been given
to the criteria outlined in PMC Section 12.40.070 (1) through (4).
1. The proposed vacation of the right-of-way will not adversely affect traffic
accessibility within the City and will not impact circulation in the
immediate area, as it has not been used for access. The right-of-way in
question is undeveloped and does not currently accommodate vehicular
or pedestrian traffic.
Page 94 of 138
2. The portion of the right-of-way proposed for vacation is not intended for
future public use. There are no planned infrastructure projects or public
access needs that require retention of this segment. The future
alignment of Road 104, as noted further north, is classified as a local
access to sufficient which corridor, is a within road 60-foot-wide
accommodate all foreseeable public purposes in this location.
3. becoming property abutting any in will not vacation The result
landlocked, nor will it substantially impair access. All affected properties,
most notably 4116 Road 100, will retain both legal and physical access
via Road 100.
4. The public need will not be adversely affected by the proposed vacation.
In fact, the vacation provides a public benefit by increasing the lot sizes
of Lots 61 through 63 as part of the Phase 1 Magnolia Heights Final Plat
and Parcel No. 118211328. This action benefits the public, particularly
the aforementioned properties, and establishes a clear record for future
reference.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Resolution setting 7:00
PM, Monday, October 20, 2025, as the time and date for a public hearing to
consider the vacation request.

ARTICLE 5 - Grievance Procedure
A grievance shall be defined as a dispute or disagreement raised by an employee or group of employees

hereinafter outlined. Prior to initiating a written grievance, an employee should attempt to resolve the matter
with their supervisor, or in their absence, with the next management official in the chain of command.
Section 5.1 Procedure Steps.
Grievances, as herein defined, shall otherwise be processed in the following manner:
Step 1: Written Grievance to Deputy Police Chief. As soon as possible, but in no case later than thirty

alleged to be violated and the relief sought. The Deputy Police Chief or designee shall meet with the
grievant and then respond to the grievant in writing of their decision within fourteen (14) calendar days
following receipt of the written grievance.
Step 2. Written Grievance to Chief of Police. If the Deputy Police Chief or designee does not resolve the
matter to the satisfaction of the grievant, the grievant may within fourteen (14) calendar days after the
receipt of written response from the Deputy Police Chief or designee, submit the grievance in writing to the
Chief of Police or designee. The writing shall include the original grievance filed with the Deputy Police
Chief or designee, their response, and the objections to the Deputy Police Chief’s response. The Chief of
Police or designee shall meet with the grievant and then respond to the grievant in writing of their decision
within fourteen (14) calendar days following receipt of the written grievance.
Step 3. Grievance Appealed to City Manager or designee. If the grievance is not settled, the employee
may notify the City Manager or designee and Human Resources in writing, by providing all of the previous
written filings and responses and their objections to the Police Chief or designee’s response within fourteen
(14) calendar days from the date of receipt of the Police Chief or designee’s written response. The City
Manager or designee shall review the facts, hold a hearing on the dispute where the parties may provide

appeal shall identify the previously filed grievance and set forth the issue(s) that the party seeks
to have arbitrated.
b) Arbitrator Selection.
(a) For non-disciplinary matters, an arbitrator shall be selected by mutual
agreement of the parties. In the event the parties cannot agree on the selection
of an arbitrator within fourteen (14) calendar days, the Association shall
request from FMCS a list of seven (7) arbitrators located in Washington,
Oregon, and Idaho. Selection shall be made by alternatively striking names
from the list with the party striking first determined by coin toss.
(b) For disciplinary matters, an arbitrator shall be selected through the Law
Enforcement Arbitrator Roster maintained by the Washington Public
Employment Relations Commission (PERC). The Association shall submit a
written request to PERC and the PERC Executive Director shall appoint an
arbitrator consistent with RCW 41.58.070.
c) The arbitrator shall be limited to determining whether a party has violated, erroneously
interpreted, or failed to apply properly the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the
appropriate remedy. The arbitrator shall have no power to change, delete from, add to, or alter
the terms of this Agreement.
d) The parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and implemented
within thirty (30) calendar days following the rendering of the decision.
e) The cost of arbitration shall be paid equally by both parties, including the arbitrator’s fee and
expenses. Room rental, if any, and the cost of an agreed upon court reporter’s time shall be
evenly shared. Each party shall pay its own cost of any copy of the written record that party
orders from the reporter.
f) Each party shall bear the cost of the preparation and representation of its own case.
g) Prior to the submission of a grievance beyond Step 3 to arbitration, either the Association shall
elect the grievance procedure, or the employee shall select the City of Pasco Civil Service
Commission as the forum of choice. Selection of arbitration constitutes a waiver of right to
appeal to Civil Service and the selection of Civil Service constitutes a waiver of the right to
arbitration.
Section 5.2 Special Provisions.
a) The term “employee” or “grievant” as used in this article shall mean an individual employee,
group of employees, or the Association.
Page 120 of 138
2025 – 2027 Collective Bargaining Agreement between City of Pasco and
the Pasco Police Commanding Officers Association - Page 7
b) An Association representative and/or aggrieved party shall be granted time off without loss of
pay for the purpose of processing a grievance from Step 3 forward. Any investigation
undertaken by the Association upon the work site shall be conducted so as not to disturb the
work of uninvolved employees and only after advance notice to the Chief of Police. There shall
be no interruption of work while grievances are being resolved.
c) A grievance may be entertained or advanced to any step in the grievance procedure if the parties
so jointly agree.
d) The time limits as specified in this procedure may be extended by mutual written consent of
the parties involved. A statement of the duration of such extension of time must be signed by
both parties.
e) Any grievance shall be considered settled at the completion of any step if all parties are satisfied
or if neither party presents the matter to a higher authority within the prescribed period of time.
f) Failure by a grievant or the Association to act within the time limits specified in any step, shall
constitute a waiver and forfeiture of the moving party’s right to further consideration of the
grievance, except when the failure is due to a cause over which the grievant or Association had
no cause in initiating or control. Failure, absent good cause, to meet with the Chief of Police
or City Manager at their request on a grievance appeal to their office (Step 2 or 3) shall be
deemed a waiver of the grievance and waiver of the rights of the grievant to further appeal.
