III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
There are two categories of accounts receivable write-offs:
1. Direct write-offs are small in value or, in the case of Ambulance Fund,
reflect a reduction of fees related to a discount required by DSHS and
Medicare. These direct write-offs are not sent to collection.
2. Write-offs referred to collection and have been in arrears for a given
number of days and exceed minimum values that move them out of the
direct write-off category.

Right-of-Way Feet 20 Westerly 1 Phase Vida Vacation-Tierra
(VAC2025-003) (5 minute staff presentation)

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION:on PM 7:00 setting 4692, to Resolution approve No. move I
Tuesday, February 17, 2026, as the time and date for a public hearing to
consider the vacation of the westerly 20 feet of Tierra Vida Phase One, as
established by Auditor’s File Number 1691585.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background:
On October 19, 2006, Tierra Vida – Phase One established the section now
proposed for vacation as right-of-way. In April 2023, it was determined that this
section, along with additional right-of-way for a future street, was not feasible,
and Ordinance 4646 was passed. Although map records indicate that the
portion the proposed for vacation today was previously vacated, legal
description reflecting that change was inadvertently omitted and never formally
Page 25 of 86
proposed—until now.
On September 3, 2025, Jose and Silvia Duarte, Rosa M. and Jorge Ortega,
and Maria Munoz submitted the petition. This petition constitutes 100% of the
required two-thirds under PMC 12.40.020(2), as the portion required to be
granted to the neighboring properties to the west under RCW 35.79.040 was
already addressed through Ordinance 4646.
Currently, this segment of right-of-way is landlocked and was inadvertently
omitted from the legal description of Ordinance 4646. In accordance with PMC
12.40.030(1)(c), the petitioners provided all required title reports on October
29, 2025.
Impact:
At this time, the action before City Council is to set a date and time for a public
hearing. Should this Resolution pass, the proposed vacation will be considered
at the public hearing through an Ordinance on February 17, 2026. This
vacation will not create landlocked parcels or substantially impair access, as all
affected properties will retain both legal and physical access.
The portion of right-of-way proposed for vacation is currently unused and, as
noted, landlocked. The vacation also provides a public benefit by increasing lot
sizes for Lots 4, 5, and 6 of Tierra Vida Phase One, supporting orderly
development and establishing a clear record for future reference.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the passage of this resolution to set the date and time for a
public hearing and Ordinance on February 17, 2026, with the intent of clearing
the record through the anticipated passage of the Ordinance following the
hearing.
Constraints (Time or other considerations):
In accordance with PMC 12.40.040, the public hearing must be set not more
than 60 days not any less than 20 days after the passage of this resolution.
Staff Analysis:
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 will not adversely affect traffic accessibility within
the City and will not impact circulation in the immediate area, as the
right-of-way has not been used for access and is currently landlocked. It
is undeveloped and does not accommodate vehicular or pedestrian
traffic.
Page 26 of 86
2. The portion of right-of-way proposed for vacation is not intended for
future public use. Development to the west dedicated Eureka Ave and
Sprague Ave in lieu of the vacated right-of-way through Ordinance 4646.
That Ordinance resulted in this segment being landlocked; this proposed
vacation will correct that issue.
3. No other property will become landlocked, nor will access be
substantially impaired. All affected properties will retain both legal and
physical access via Paz Ct.
4. The public need will not be adversely affected. In fact, the vacation
provides a public benefit by increasing the lot sizes of Lots 4, 5, and 6 of
Tierra Vida Phase One, supporting orderly development and
establishing a clear record for future reference.
Pursuant Section PMC to refers which 12.40.030(1)(e), Section PMC to
12.40.120(2), the City may require petitioners to provide a signed agreement
covering the cost of an appraisal and compensating the City for the right-of-
way to be vacated. These requirements may be waived in whole or in part.
Staff recommends waiving the appraisal and compensation requirements
based on two considerations:
1. The vacation is offset by the dedication of substitute public right-of-way
of equal or greater value, as provided by the developers to the west.
Additionally, this action corrects the omission in the legal description
from Ordinance 4646.
2. The community benefit of the requested vacation outweighs the
appraised value of the right-of-way. The area in question is 20 feet by
355.11 feet, landlocked between multiple residential properties.
Accordingly, staff will not recommend requiring an appraisal or any form of
compensation in this instance.
Next Steps:
A public hearing and Ordinance will be considered on February 17, 2026, to
formally vacate this piece of land, originally dedicated through the Tierra Vida
Phase One final plat recorded in 2006, inadvertently omitted in 2023, and now
intended to clear the record while providing a benefit to the affected property
owners upon adoption.
Between now and the hearing, staff will provide appropriate public notice,
coordinate with the petitioners, and ensure their attendance at the hearing.
Alternatives:
Although the criteria in PMC Section 12.40.070 do not explicitly provide for
denial, the City Council retains the authority to deny the proposed right-of-way
vacation if findings support such a decision. However, denial would leave a
Page 27 of 86
landlocked parcel in this condition for the foreseeable future.

RESOLUTION NO. _______
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON
SETTING 7:00 PM, FEBRUARY 17, 2026, AS THE TIME AND DATE FOR A
PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE VACATION OF THE WESTERLY 20
FEET OF TIERRA VIDA PHASE ONE, AS ESTABLISHED BY AUDITOR’S
FILE NUMBER 1691585.
WHEREAS, from time to time in response to petitions or in cases where it serves the
general interest of the City of Pasco, the City Council may vacate rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, a petition for vacation of the westerly 20 feet of the right-of-way dedicated
through the Tierra Vida Phase One Final Plat, as established by Auditor’s File Number 1691585
by owners of more than two-thirds abutting the part of the street and alley to be vacated has been
submitted to the City; and
WHEREAS, the vacation process, by petition application, provided in the Pasco
Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 12.40 requires a survey, title report, an appraisal of value, and
compensation unless waived by City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City may waive the requirements for a survey pursuant to PMC Section
12.40.110 if the location and legal description of the street or alley proposed for vacation is
sufficiently known to the City such that an accurate legal description can be determined with
certainty without a survey; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to PMC Section 12.40.120, compensation for vacated rights-of-
way, an appraisal and title report may be waived if one or more of the following are applicable:
the vacation is initiated by Council resolution; the vacation is at the request of the City; the right-
of-way to be vacated was previously determined by Council not to be essential to public traffic
circulation and is available for vacation; the grant of a substitute right-of-way has value as a right-
of-way at least equal to the right-of-way to be vacated; or the resulting benefit to the community
of the project requiring vacation outweighs the appraised value of the right-of-way to be vacated;
and
WHEREAS, the City staff is requesting that Council make a determination concerning
whether to waive the requirements of a title report, appraisal of value, and compensation pursuant
to PMC 12.40.120(2) after holding a public hearing; and
WHEREAS, PMC Section 12.40.040 requires public hearings on vacations to be fixed by
resolution, and to provide notice for such hearing which shall occur no later than sixty (60) days
after, nor earlier than twenty (20) days after, the passage of this Resolution setting a public hearing.

Right-of-Way Vacation
PMC 12.40 Right-of-Way Vacations A street vacation may be initiated either by a City Council resolution OR by a petition signed by owners of more than two-thirds of the property abutting the area proposed for vacation.
Hold a public hearing Tuesday, February 17, 2026 @ 7:00 PM:Once a complete vacation petition is submitted, the Council may adopt a resolution to schedule a public hearing, even though a petition signed by more than two-thirds of abutting property owners is already sufficient to initiate the process. The public hearing must occur between 20 and 60 days after either the resolution is adopted, OR the complete petition is received. While both initiating the vacation and setting the hearing may be combined into one resolution, only one method of initiation is required.
City Council Vacation Approval Criteria
The City Council considers the following when reviewing a vacation petition:
1.Traffic CirculationThe vacation must not negatively impact traffic accessibility or circulation in the area or the City as a whole.
2.Future Public UseThe right-of-way must not be planned or needed for future public purposes.
3.Property AccessNo adjacent property should become landlocked or experience significantly reduced access as a result of the vacation.
4.Public InterestThe vacation must not harm public needs and should offer a public benefit or serve a public purpose.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council December 10, 2025
TO: Harold Stewart, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 1/5/26
FROM: Harold Stewart, City Manager
City Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 4808A - Amended 2026 Administrative/Professional
Wages (3 minute staff presentation)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Amended Ordinance - Wage Plan for Non-Represented, Non-Management
Positions for 2026
Exhibit A - Amended Wage Scale - Non-Management Positions
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4808A, amending wages for certain
administrative/professional, non-management personnel for calendar year
2026.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The fiscal impact associated with the approved 2% COLA remains unchanged
from what was presented to Council during the December 1, 2025 meeting.
Finance calculations were already based on the correct methodology, and
therefore this amendment does not increase costs beyond those previously
communicated to Council.
Correcting the wage scale ensures the adopted ordinance accurately reflects
the assumptions underlying the approved financial analysis and avoids
unintended wage increases over time.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
On December 1, 2025, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4808, approving
the 2026 wage scale for administrative/professional, non-represented, non-
management employees, including a 2% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).
As part of the City’s regular compensation practice, wage adjustments for non-
Page 50 of 86
represented employees are accomplished through Council action by ordinance,
typically following the annual budget process. These adjustments are intended
to maintain consistency with Council-approved fiscal assumptions, support
internal equity, and ensure wages remain reasonably competitive within the
regional labor market.
Following Council adoption of Ordinance No. 4808, staff conducted a post-
adoption administrative review of the approved wage scale exhibit. During that
review, staff identified technical issues within the wage scale that require
correction to accurately reflect Council’s approved action.
Impact (other than fiscal)
Organizational and Operational Impact
Adopting Ordinance No. 4808A ensures the City’s wage scale accurately
reflects Council’s intent and aligns with the City’s established compensation
practices. Correcting the wage scale promotes internal consistency,
administrative clarity, and accurate implementation by Human Resources and
Finance.
Failure to correct the wage scale could result in inconsistent application of pay
steps and increased administrative workload to resolve discrepancies after
implementation.
Risk Management and Compliance
unintended of risk the reduces scale wage the of correction Timely
compensation outcomes, audit findings, or retroactive adjustments that could
otherwise be required if errors remain unaddressed. Adoption of the corrective
ordinance provides clarity for payroll processing, classification administration,
and future wage planning.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends the adoption of Ordinance No. 4808A amending the 20026
Administrative/Professional Wages.
This agenda item brings forward Ordinance No. 4808A for the limited purpose
of correcting the 2026 Administrative/Professional Non-Management Wage
Scale previously adopted by Council. The amendment does not introduce new
policy decisions, alter the approved COLA percentage, or revisit compensation
actions already authorized.
Specifically, the corrective ordinance addresses the following:
Omitted classifications: Two reclassified positions: Engineering
Technician I and Engineering Technician II were inadvertently excluded
from the wage scale exhibit attached to Ordinance No. 4808.
Calculation methodology correction: Subsequent review identified that
Page 51 of 86
the approved 2% COLA for certain classifications was applied using a
rounding approach that differed from the City’s established historical
practice. This resulted in unintended step-to-step increases at higher
steps within the wage range.
Staff reviewed prior wage scales and confirmed the City’s standard calculation
and rounding methodology. Ordinance No. 4808A corrects these technical
issues to ensure the adopted wage scale aligns with Council’s intent and long-
standing wage calculation practices.
Next Steps
If Council adopts Ordinance No. 4808A:
The corrected 2026 Administrative/Professional Non-Management
Wage Scale will be implemented effective January 4, 2026, consistent
with the original ordinance.
Human Resources and Finance will administer wages using the
corrected exhibit to ensure accurate placement and step progression.
No additional Council action will be required related to this correction.
Alternatives
1 — Adopt Ordinance No. 4808A (Staff Recommendation)
Adopting the corrective ordinance aligns the wage scale exhibit with Council’s
previously approved action, ensures consistency with established calculation
practices, and avoids unintended compensation outcomes.
2 — Decline to Adopt Ordinance No. 4808A
Declining to adopt the amendment would leave known technical errors in the
adopted wage scale, potentially resulting in unintended wage costs,
administrative inconsistencies, and the need for future corrective action.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background:
significant owns Engineers of (USACE) Army States United The Corps
property in the Tri-Cities area. Most of the Corps’ land is managed by local
governments for recreational purposes while other land is self-managed by the
Corps for recreation and flood control.
For the past several years the Tri-Cities region, facilitated through the Tri-City
Development Council (TRIDEC) has worked on reconveyance of the Columbia
River Shoreline from federal control to local government agencies to allow
management and use that better suits the community.
In addition to several local agencies including Port of Pasco, Port of Benton,
Benton County, Franklin County, City of Pasco, City of Richland, and City of
Kennewick, both the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation
(CTUIR) have Bands and Tribes the Nation Yakama and Confederated
collaborated to create a federal legislative action plan which would transfer
lands from USACE to the respective requesting groups.

DISCUSSION:
Page 56 of 86
Karl Dye (President and CEO) and David Reepleog (VP for Federal Programs) of
the Tri-City Development Council (TRIDEC) will provide an update on the latest
effort regarding the regional Rivershore reconveyance effort.
The City continues to use the same proposed land use designations developed in
the past, however since original land request being identified, the City limits and
UGA has expanded so USACE land that Franklin County was once seeking in those
areas may need to be identified and transitioned into the City's requests. Also, the
City has not received any land request information from the Tribes, so there may be
some overlapping requests once those are shared.
Current proposed land use designation:
With the exception of designated levee structures or flood control
infrastructure that shall remain the property of the United States, for

recreation area or other such purposes as determined through a public
planning process subject to terms and conditions of the enforceable

action;

TO: Mayor, David Milne
Members of the City Council
FROM: Harold Stewart, City Manager
DATE: January 05, 2026
City Manager:
Much of the last couple of weeks have been pretty quiet with the holidays. Staff has been using
the time to prepare for 2026, including getting ahead on preparation of agenda items for the first
few months of January.
While the Department Heads will provide updates specific to their responsibilities here are
several priorities identified by the City Manager since taking office being worked on in addition
to the regular day to day operational duties (Changes/updates from the last report are
highlighted in red):
1. Broadmoor Development- Meetings are ongoing discussing developer interest,
progress, and potential City partnership
2. HAPO Center- Lease expires after December 2025. County and City discussing
future, roles and partnership going forward. Lease extension has been provided to
the County.
4. Animal Shelter- Serves the entire Tri-Cities. Cost sharing between the three
jurisdictions needs re-evaluated and agreed upon.
5. Transportation Tab Fees- Will be placed on February Regular City Council meeting
as directed by Council at the November 17th Council meeting.
6. Water and Sewer Rates- Consultant analysis and recommendations are complete.
Staff will hold input meetings in January and have on the Jan. 19th Council meeting
agenda as directed by Council at the Nov. 17th meeting.
7. Union Contracts- Currently negotiating.
8. Hiring City Attorney-Recruiter will repost the position and continue recruiting.
9. Grievances/Personnel Matters
10. Reviewing Boulevard Design, Traffic study, Lighting, and Curb, Gutter,
Sidewalk Policies-All in various stages of review. See Community and Economic
Development Directors report for more information.
11. City Clerk retiring- Evaluating promotion of Deputy Clerk and eliminating the
Deputy Clerk position. Staff is assessing workload and responsibilities, particularly
volume and handling of public records requests.
Page 71 of 86
Page 2 of 14
12. Evaluating Executive Structure (CM, DCM, ACM) and responsibilities-Ongoing.
Potential redistribution of department reporting structure.
13. Consideration of annexation into Library District-Council, Library Board and
County Commission have all approved this to go on the ballot. Staff is working on
necessary documentation to put the matter on an April 2026 ballot.
14. Consideration of annexation into Conservation District- Was to be discussed at
the October 27th Council Agenda, however, staff has been working with legal counsel
and the Conservation District to verify the proper process and actions. There is some
unclarity due to State law language and the fact the City opted out of the District
years ago. Will come forward once the proper process is verified.
15. Water Conservation Program- Since the August 25 presentation, staff have
advanced key water conservation initiatives, including public outreach, irrigation
retrofits, and updated development and boulevard standards. Work is also underway
on a City facility water audit, landscape conversion projects, and potential residential
incentives to promote xeriscaping.
16. Court Street Traffic Concerns- Traffic Radar signs have been installed and are
collecting data. Engineer’s recommendation was to analyze the data after 6 months,
which will be January of 2026. Upon completion of data collection staff will need time
to analyze and will discuss results with Council in February or March of 2026.
17. Pop up Vendors- Ongoing monitoring by staff and coordination with the Health
District.

Tem, and all Council members; Pat Heeren promotion ceremony at the Fire Station; School
