IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background:
The Washington State Legislature operates on a biennial cycle, with odd years
featuring 60-day shorter a years even session long 105-day a and
supplemental session. The 2026 Legislative Session is the second year of the
2025–26 Short biennium, running January 12 through March 12, 2026.
sessions are traditionally focused on mid-biennium budget adjustments, carry-
over legislation from prior year, and limited-fiscal-impact policy refinements.
Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs (GTHGA) has represented
the City of Pasco by providing on-the-ground presence in Olympia, year-round
legislative monitoring, and advancement of the City's legislative agenda. This
proactive approach has allowed Pasco to effectively communicate its priorities
and interests to lawmakers and its legislative delegation.
Page 7 of 205
Council formalized its 2026 Legislative Priorities through Resolution No. 4673,
adopted at the November 3, 2025 Council Meeting, establishing the foundation
for Pasco's legislative engagement during the 2026 session.
V. DISCUSSION:
Pasco Highlights:
Regional Police Training Academy Fully Funded
Pasco requested $972,000 for upgrading the Basic Law Enforcement Academy
(BLEA) Pasco Campus. The final Capital Budget included $1.002 million,
exceeding the original ask, to meet growing regional training needs and
modern policing standards.
Crash Prevention Zones (SB 6066)

session, about these lawmakers Pasco continued successfully educating
priority infrastructure projects, laying groundwork for future sessions.
Limit State Overreach
Residential in Commercial Zones (SB 6026) — The final version included
an protections grandfather and for implementation 18-month window
jurisdictions with existing processes, giving cities more flexibility than
earlier drafts proposed.
STEP Housing Permitting (HB 2266) — While the bill still imposes state
standards, local governments retained some ability to apply development
standards comparable to similar uses, limiting the most prescriptive
elements of the original proposal.
Ms. Murray will provide an up-to-date report on the status of legislation with the
State of Washington.

2026 State Funding Requests
REGIONAL POLICE TRAINING ACADEMY: Pasco requests $972,000 in state funding to upgrade the Basic
Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA) Pasco Campus to meet growing regional training needs and modern
policing standards. The proposed improvements include security fencing, restroom renovations, and a new
portable classroom to expand capacity and enhance the quality of instruction. These upgrades will allow the
campus to host additional CJTC classes, support mandated training programs, and provide a safer, more
professional learning environment for recruits and lateral officers. This investment will strengthen public safety
across the region by ensuring officers are well-prepared to serve and protect our communities.
ROAD 76 OVERPASS: Pasco requests state funding to advance the Road 76 Overpass Project to create a
multimodal connection across I-182, which currently divides neighborhoods from commercial areas,
complicating local travel patterns. The overpass project will reduce travel distances and decrease daily vehicle
miles by 6,300 by 2045. The City has received a Federal Surface Transportation Block Grant at $3.79 million to
be matched with $1 million of City funds for design and right-of-way acquisition. The City requests $30 million
for construction and can be ready to utilize construction funds as early as 2028. This project is ranked as one
of the region’s top transportation projects by the Benton Franklin Council of Governments (BFCOG).
US 12/A STREET TRAFFIC STUDY: Pasco requests state funding to perform a comprehensive analysis of
State Route 12 from the intersections of A Street to Tank Farm/Sacajawea Park Road to develop practical
solutions that will improve safety and economic vitality for the region. Given the recent increase in crashes and
the expected rise in traffic volumes, including significant freight traffic, the analysis will aim to identify safety
concerns, develop alternatives, perform stakeholder engagement, and develop conceptual design and
planning estimates. The City requests $3 million to complete the analysis. This project is identified in the
region’s Transportation Priorities adopted by Benton Franklin Council of Governments (BFCOG).
BUTTERFIELD WATER TREATMENT PLANT IMPROVEMENTS: Pasco’s Butterfield Water Treatment Plant
was originally built in 1946, with updates made between 1958 and 1999. While it has served our community for
decades, the facility is now outdated and facing serious challenges. It can no longer meet future demand or
efficiently treat certain harmful substances like cyanotoxins, which are becoming more common in our water
sources. To protect public health and ensure a safe, reliable water supply for our growing community, the City
must upgrade the plant. These improvements will modernize the treatment process, increase capacity, and
add advanced treatment methods like pre-ozonation to better remove contaminants. However, without outside
funding, the cost of this project will fall entirely on our residents through utility rate increases. Current
projections show that water rates will nearly double in the next four years to cover the cost. Total cost is $220-
260 million; City is requesting $80 million in low interest loans, grants, and other sources to start the design
and construction of this critical infrastructure while reducing significant impact to vulnerable ratepayers.
RESTORE WATER BANKING GRANTS: Department of Ecology’s Water Banking Grant provides funding
for cities and other local agencies to purchase water rights and establish a municipal water bank. This is
essential for securing a reliable water supply to support the city’s rapid growth, prevent future shortages, and
protect local water resources. The grant also ensures a portion of water is dedicated to environmental benefits,
helping maintain healthy river ecosystems. City was in contention to receive up to $4 million. However, funding
for the grant program was reduced during the 2025 session. The City asks that funding to the program be
restored.

Sine Die Legislative Report
March 12, 2026
Weekly Overview
The Legislature adjourned on the 60th day of session, March 12. The last week of the legislative
session was marked by exhaustion, tension, and historical votes.
From a broad city perspective, the outcomes of the 2026 Session leave room for improvement.
The Legislature:
• Continued its recent trend of approving unfunded land use mandates, though in
working through the details of several proposals, more city feedback was incorporated
than in prior years.
• Did not provide broad relief to struggling city budgets, but approved a modest fiscal
flexibility bill (House Bill 2442) containing a handful of new revenue tools that may
benefit a limited number of cities.
• Maintained most – but not all – state accounts that distribute revenues to cities, but did
not fully offset the negative fiscal impacts anticipated once the tax exemptions
approved alongside the millionaire’s tax take effect.
Legislators completed final action on bills and budgets while navigating intense debate over
Senate Bill 6346, the millionaire’s tax – an 9.9% tax on income exceeding $1 million. In the
House, members spent more than 24 hours debating over 80 proposed amendments, and
Republicans employed a series of procedural maneuvers to significantly extend debate. The bill
ultimately passed the House on Tuesday evening with a vote of 51-46, with a handful of
Democrats joining Republicans to vote against the bill.
The final version of the bill includes a package of tax reductions and investment taxes to make
the tax code more progressive. These provisions include the repeal of last year’s expanded sales
tax on select services, an expansion of the Working Families Tax Credit to return more revenue
to low-income households, a commitment to provide free breakfast and lunch in K-12 schools,
an expansion of the small business B&O tax credit, and new sales-tax exemptions for items such
as diapers, hygiene products, and over-the-counter medications. To address concerns from
cities and counties about lost local sales-tax revenue tied to those exemptions, the bill includes
legislative intent to set aside up to $200 million for local government mitigation.
The Governor has indicated that he plans to sign the bill into law. It is expected that critics of
the new law will take two actions: 1) file a legal challenge arguing that the new tax is
Page 14 of 205
GTH-GOV 2
unconstitutional because income is property and the Constitution requires income to be taxed
uniformly; and 2) collect signatures on an initiative to the people to repeal the measure.
Now that the Legislature has adjourned, the Governor has 20 days to sign bills and budgets into
law that were delivered to him in the final five days of the legislative session. The Governor has
the authority to veto the entirety of bills and veto full sections of bills; the Governor does not
have the authority to veto specific sentences. Click here to track the Governor’s bill action.
Final Budgets
2025-27 Supplemental Operating Budget: The 2026 Legislature entered session facing a
multi-year challenge in balancing the Operating Budget. The cost of providing state services and
programs – many enacted in recent years – increased, while revenue collections slowed. With
some exceptions, the Legislature is tasked with adopting modifications to the existing biennial
budget (25-27) and developing a four-year budget through 27-29. The state’s February revenue
forecast delivered modestly positive news as early proceeds from tax increases approved in
2025 began coming in higher than anticipated; however, state economists continue to highlight
that the cost of K–12, health care, and long-term care are outpacing revenue growth.
The final 2025–27 Operating Budget relies on a combination of program reductions, account
transfers, and new revenue from closing tax loopholes on data centers, prescription drug
wholesalers, and insurers. The final version transfers $880 million out of the Budget
Stabilization Account, a $375 million transfer from the Public Works Assistance Account to the
general fund, and assumes $2.23 billion in new revenue in the four-year outlook for the newly
enacted millionaire’s tax. Notably, the budget assumes a repeal of the increase in estate taxes
enacted during the 2025 Legislative Session. The Budget Stabilization Account is backfilled with
revenues from the LEOFF 1 retirement account.
Even with those changes, the 2027 fiscal year has a $878 million shortfall that legislators will
grapple with next session, pending revenue forecast updates between now and then. If the
millionaire’s tax is overturned either through the courts or by voters, this shortfall becomes
more significant.
The budget’s largest expenditures address an increase in legal settlements, fund food
assistance and Medicaid in light of federal decisions, and allocate Climate Commitment Act
funds to wildfire protection. The biggest cuts are to how day cares are reimbursed for providing
child care to low-income families, and reducing the number of students who can participate in
the transition to Kindergarten. Click here to review the Supplemental Operating budget
documents.
2025-27 Supplemental Capital Budget: The 2025-27 Capital Budget utilizes $435 million in
bonds and appropriates $889.7 million in total funds, including cash, federal funds, and other
revenue sources. The Capital budget provides investments in infrastructure that are relevant to
local governments, including:
• $200 million to housing and homelessness, including $123 million for the Housing Trust
Fund.
Page 15 of 205
GTH-GOV 3
• $375 million is allocated to the Public Works Assistance Account to backfill the transfer
from the Account to the Operating Budget and continue to finance infrastructure
projects for cities, counties, and special purpose districts.
Click here to review the Supplemental Capital budget documents.
2025-27 Supplemental Transportation Budget: The 2026 Supplemental Transportation Budget
largely maintained the status quo. Transportation budget writers debated whether or not to
bond revenues enacted in 2025 to fund additional transportation projects, including
maintenance and preservation. The Governor and the Senate both proposed significant bond
packages, while the House proposed not issuing any new bonds. The final budget authorizes
$1.5 billion in new bonds, which will support $200 million in highway maintenance, $1.3 billion
in highway preservation, and $28 million in ferry preservation through the 2029–31 biennium.
Notably, the budget did not fund any new projects. The budget totals $16.6 billion—an increase
of $1.2 billion—with significant investments aimed at preserving and maintaining
infrastructure. Click here to review the Supplemental Transportation budget documents.
Legislative Agenda Items
Regional Police Training Academy: Pasco requests $972,000 in state funding to upgrade the
Basic Law Enforcement Academy (BLEA) Pasco Campus to meet growing regional training needs
and modern policing standards. The final Capital Budget includes $1.002 million for this
funding request.
Other Legislative Agenda Items: No other funding has been included for Road 76 Overpass or
Butterfield WWTP improvements or water rights grants. We anticipated that these requests
would not be granted this legislative session; however, we were able to continue educating
lawmakers about the importance of these projects.
Crash Prevention Zones: Senate Bill 6066, sponsored by Sen. Nikki Torres (R‑Pasco), authorize
and define “crash prevention zones,” adjust related enforcement, and link fine revenue to
targeted safety improvements. The bills allow counties, cities, towns, and the Washington State
Department of Transportation to designate crash prevention zones on high‑collision road
segments, require public hearings and engineering and traffic investigations to identify safety
improvements (including potential speed limit changes), and direct increased law enforcement
presence within the zones. Monetary penalties for certain traffic infractions committed within
crash prevention zones may be increased, with resulting revenues dedicated to zone‑related
engineering and traffic investigations, signage, and safety improvements, including deposits to
local crash prevention zone accounts and, for certain state‑established zones, the highway
safety fund. The bills also authorize the use of automated traffic safety cameras for speed
enforcement in crash prevention zones and require that any remaining camera revenue after
program costs be spent only on safety purposes within the zone. The Senate concurred with the
House amendments and approved the bill on March 10 by a vote of 48‑1. The bill will be sent to
the Governor for signature.

Other Policy Issues
The following bills received action during the final week of the legislative session:
Community Safety
Automated License Plate Privacy Regulations: Senate Bill 6002, sponsored by Sen. Yasmin
Trudeau (D-Tacoma), establishes comprehensive limits on when agencies may use automated
license plate reader (ALPR) systems, including exempting ALPR data from public records
disclosure and tightly limiting authorized uses, retention, sharing, and enforcement to protect
driver privacy. The bill clarifies that existing automated traffic safety, school bus, and toll
camera systems that do not interface with ALPR beyond their current statutory purposes are
excluded from the new rules, restricts agencies from using ALPR systems except in specified
circumstances such as investigations involving stolen vehicles, missing or endangered persons,
persons with felony or gross misdemeanor warrants, vehicles related to felonies or gross
misdemeanors, commercial vehicle enforcement, and parking enforcement, and limits data
retention to 21 days except in certain circumstances. The bill also prohibits specified
surveillance practices and collection in sensitive locations, require agencies to register ALPR
systems with the Attorney General, adopt policies consistent with model policies to be
developed by 2027, conduct annual audits, and provide public reporting and oversight, with
violations subject to gross misdemeanor penalties and civil remedies, including treatment as
unfair trade practices under the consumer protection act and inadmissibility of unlawfully
obtained ALPR data in court. On March 10, the Senate concurred with House amendments,
passing the bill on a 39-10 vote. The bill now goes to the Governor for signature.
Law Enforcement Facial Covering Restrictions: Senate Bill 5855, sponsored by Sen. Javier
Valdez (D‑Seattle), prohibits law enforcement officers from wearing facial coverings while
interacting with the public in the performance of their duties, while allowing limited exceptions
for officers working as undercover operatives or as part of a special weapons and tactics
(SWAT) team, and establishes a civil cause of action for individuals detained in violation of
these requirements. The bill also clarifies that personal protective equipment required or
authorized under federal or state workplace safety rules, helmets used on certain vehicles, and
religious head or face coverings are not subject to the ban. The Senate concurred with the
House amendments and approved final passage on March 9 by a vote of 30‑19, sending the bill
to the Governor for signature.
Law Enforcement Qualifications: Senate Bill 5974, sponsored by Sen. John Lovick (D-Mill
Creek), modernizes eligibility, certification, background investigation, and accountability
standards for sheriffs, police chiefs, town marshals, and sheriff candidates, and regulates the
use of volunteers, youth cadets, specially commissioned officers, and deputized process servers
by law enforcement agencies in cities, code cities, and counties. The bill restores the right of
officers, their attorneys, or representatives to review and copy confidential records held by the
Criminal Justice Training Commission, updates eligibility and background check rules for
sheriffs, police chiefs, and marshals by clarifying that non-vacated gross misdemeanors can

grandfathering provisions, requiring state and federal criminal history checks, and authorizing
the Washington State Patrol to treat sheriffs as peace officer certification applicants to
accelerate fingerprint-based eligibility verification processes. The changes specify that
decertification or failure to meet eligibility requirements creates a vacancy in office for sheriffs,
police chiefs, and marshals, adjust volunteer firearm restrictions for qualified retired officers,
permit fixed cameras in facilities, allow limited supervisor data sharing, clarify that specially
commissioned peace officers are not subject to volunteer limits and that deputized process
servers may only perform non-law-enforcement-authority tasks unless they are certified peace
officers, require sheriff, police chief, and marshal candidates to undergo a pre-appointment
background investigation equivalent to peace officer certification standards, with an attestation
of eligibility and suitability submitted to the Commission before appointment, and prohibit
volunteers and youth cadets who are not fully trained and certified peace officers from
exercising core law enforcement powers, including pursuits, arrests, use of force, carrying
weapons, certain surveillance activities beyond fixed internal cameras, use of tracking or
apprehension dogs, and immigration enforcement. On March 9, the Senate concurred with the
House amendments, and the bill passed by a vote of 30-19. The bill will go to the Governor for
signature.
Community Transportation Network
Electric Motorcycle Regulations: Senate Bill 6110, sponsored by Sen. Sharon Shewmake (D-
Bellingham), clarifies that high-speed or easily modified electric bicycles are treated as
motorcycles rather than electric-assisted bicycles, and establishes a temporary work group
process to develop a new statutory framework for electric motorcycles, including enforcement
tools and potential penalties related to youth operation and deceptive marketing or tampering,
while also directing the work group to assess the regulatory landscape for other micromobility
devices such as electric unicycles, scooters, and tricycles. An emergency clause allows the work
group section of the bill to take effect immediately, with an interim report due by December
15, 2026, and a final recommendation, including any draft legislation, due by October 31, 2027.
The Senate concurred with the House amendments and approved final passage of the bill on
March 10 on a 44-4 vote. The bill will now be delivered to the Governor for signature.
Miscellaneous
Permitting of STEP (Shelter, Transitional Housing, Emergency Housing, and Permanent
Supportive Housing): House Bill 2266, sponsored by Rep. Strom Peterson (D-Edmonds),
requires that STEP housing types must be permitted in certain zones - requiring transitional and
permanent supportive housing be allowed in residential zones and zones that allow hotels, and
requiring indoor emergency shelters and emergency housing be allowed in zones that allow
hotels and any additional zones needed to meet projected demand, while limiting local
development and operating standards for these uses to those that are no more restrictive than
those applied to comparable lodging or residential development in the same zone. On March 9,
the House concurred with the Senate amendments and approved final passage of the bill on a
56-39 vote, sending the bill to the Governor for signature.

Local Government Revenue Tools: House Bill 2442, sponsored by Rep. April Berg (D-Mill Creek),
expands local tax authority and flexibility for cities and counties, including authorizing cities and
counties to impose a .01% sales tax to fund housing, children and family services, allowing real
estate excise tax revenues to be spent on nuisance abatement, expanding uses of the local
housing and related services sales tax, extending the maximum length of levy lid lifts, and
expanding allowable uses of the county rental car sales tax. The bill also restructures county
and fire district property tax limits while authorizing a new county property tax levy for public
health clinics. It allows cities to create a fire protection district without having to reduce the
city's property tax levy; however, once created, the fire protection district is required to have a
separately elected board. On March 11, the House concurred with Senate amendments and
passed the bill by a vote of 51-45. It now goes to the Governor for signature.
Residential Required to Be Allowed in Commercial Zones: Senate Bill 6026, sponsored by
Sen. Emily Alvarado (D-West Seattle), is Governor-request legislation that requires jurisdictions
with a population of 30,000 or more that plan under the Growth Management Act, and
counties that plan under the Act and are not rural counties, to allow residential uses in most
commercial and mixed-use zones and limits a city or county’s ability to require ground-floor
commercial. Under the latest version, a jurisdiction generally cannot impose ground-floor
commercial or mixed-use requirements in more than 40% of the total area zoned for
commercial or mixed use (with specified exceptions, including certain historic and Main Street
areas, business improvement areas, and additional allowances in station areas and higher-
height zones) and may not impose such requirements on publicly subsidized affordable housing
projects; covered cities and counties must also provide an administrative process for applicants
to seek reductions or waivers of ground-floor commercial or retail requirements, while
grandfathering any jurisdiction that has a process already in place. Local governments have 18
months after the bill’s effective date to adopt required ordinances and, if they do not, the state
standards automatically preempt conflicting local regulations; they are not obligated to update
growth and development assumptions until their first comprehensive plan update after January
1, 2031. The Senate concurred with the changes made in the House and the bill passed on
March 10 on a 35-14 vote, sending the bill to the Governor for signature.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council March 10, 2026
TO: Harold Stewart, City Manager City Council Workshop
Meeting: 3/23/26
FROM: Ken Roske, Police Chief
Police Department
SUBJECT: Presentation – Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) Technology (10
minute staff presentation)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Presentation – Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR) Technology
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion only. No action requested.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The Pasco Police Department’s Automatic License Plate Reader (ALPR)
program has been largely supported through Washington Auto Theft
Prevention Authority (WATPA) grant funding.
The initial deployment in 2022 included eight ALPR cameras, with a first-year
cost of $25,800 and an annual system cost of $23,000 for ongoing software
access and maintenance.
In 2024, additional grant funding supported system expansion, with a 24-month
contract value of $139,650 for additional cameras, platform services, and
implementation.
Grant funding has allowed the city to deploy and expand the ALPR program
through this biennium.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background:
The Pasco Police Department has utilized Automatic License Plate Reader
(ALPR) technology since approximately 2009 when the department deployed
an early system mounted to patrol vehicles.
Page 31 of 205
In 2022, the department expanded the program through funding provided by
the Washington Auto Theft Prevention Authority (WATPA), adding eight
stationary cameras and one mobile ALPR system to assist with vehicle crime
investigations and public safety efforts.
More recently, the department received additional WATPA grant funding to
support a two-year ALPR system expansion that added additional Flock Safety
cameras to improve investigative capabilities.
ALPR technology captures license plates that are visible from public roadways
and compares them against law enforcement databases. The system assists
officers with locating stolen vehicles, identifying vehicles associated with calls
for service, supporting investigations involving missing or endangered persons,
and enhancing situational awareness during criminal investigations.
Police Pasco and State Washington law governed is system The by
Department policy, which establish strict limitations on access, data use, and
auditing requirements.
Impact (other than fiscal):
ALPR technology enhances the department’s ability to investigate vehicle
crimes and locate stolen vehicles, which continue to impact communities
statewide.
The system also supports public safety by assisting officers in identifying
vehicles endangered or missing locating to criminal connected activity,
persons, and providing investigative leads during active cases.
Department policy and state law provide strong privacy protections by requiring
documented investigative purposes for searches and limiting how data may be
accessed and used.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation:
No action is requested. This item is for informational purposes only.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council March 2, 2026
TO: Harold Stewart, City Manager City Council Workshop
Meeting: 3/23/26
FROM: Haylie Matson, Director
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Presentation - Missing Middle Housing (8 minute staff presentation)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
PowerPoint
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
No formal action is requested. This is an informational workshop to provide
Council housing middle missing State’s an of overview with Washington
requirements, what they mean for Pasco, and the City’s current code
framework.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Not applicable currently. Future code amendments may require staff time,
public outreach, and Planning Commission review. Implementation may also
affect infrastructure planning and long-range capital planning.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
In 2023, the Washington State Legislature adopted House Bill 1110 (HB 1110),
which requires cities planning under the Growth Management Act (GMA) and
with populations greater than 25,000 to allow a broader range of housing types
in areas historically limited to detached single-family housing.
HB 1110 mandates that cities permit middle housing on all lots zoned for
predominantly residential use. Compliance is achieved by regulating both the
minimum number of housing units allowed per lot; and requiring that cities
allow at least six of the nine state-defined middle housing types.
Page 48 of 205
HB 1110 establishes three tiers of applicability based on population. Pasco
qualifies as Tier 1 (population over 75,000). As a Tier 1 city, Pasco must:
Allow at least four housing units per residential lot;
Allow at least six units per lot if located within a quarter-mile walking
distance of a major transit stop;
Allow at least six units per lot if at least two of the units are affordable.
The four or six unit minimum allowance may be achieved through any
combination of housing types. For example:
Four middle housing units
Three middle housing units + one ADU
Two middle housing units + two ADUs
Other equivalent combinations
Jurisdictions were required to adopt compliant development regulations by
June 30, 2025, or state model code provisions apply by default.
What Is “Missing Middle Housing”?
Missing middle housing includes smaller-scale, multi-unit housing types
compatible in scale and form with traditional neighborhoods, such as:
Duplexes
Triplexes
Fourplexes
Townhouses
Cottage housing
Courtyard apartments
These housing types help provide additional housing choices at a range of
price points while maintaining neighborhood scale.
Existing Pasco Regulations
Pasco’s municipal code already allows several middle housing types in certain
zoning districts, including:
Duplexes permitted in multiple residential zoning districts
Townhouses (single-family attached) permitted in medium- and high-
density residential zones
Multifamily housing permitted in medium- and high-density zones
Cottage housing (multifamily detached) allowed through Planned Unit
Developments and certain zoning districts
Accessory dwelling units (ADUs), including detached units, permitted in
residential zones
Middle housing is already allowed in one form or another across most of the
city. However, allowed housing types vary across zoning districts for different
reasons. Moving forward, the code must be updated so that middle housing
types use, are permitted on all lots zoned predominantly for residential
consistent with HB 1110.
Page 49 of 205
Some lower-density residential zones currently limit the number of units per lot.
These limitations will require code amendments to fully comply with state law.
Pasco also allows higher density housing in designated growth areas, mixed-
use districts, and master-planned developments such as Broadmoor.
Comprehensive Plan Policies
Pasco’s Comprehensive Plan housing policies are generally aligned with state
direction and are on solid footing. Relevant policies include:
H-1-A: Allow for a full range of housing including single family homes,
townhouses, condominiums, apartments, manufactured housing,
accessory dwelling units, zero lot line, and planned unit developments.
arterials, near located be should Higher intensity H-1-B: housing
neighborhood or community shopping facilities, and employment areas.
H-3-A: Encourage innovative techniques in the design of residential
neighborhoods and mixed-use areas to provide character and variety.
H-3-B: Maintain development regulations and standards that control the
scale and density of residential housing to ensure compatibility with
surrounding uses.
H-3-C: Utilize design and landscaping standards to ensure all residential
development quality, access, of and consistent a exhibits level
appearance.
While these policies already support a range of housing types, minor updates
may be necessary to explicitly reference middle housing and ensure no policies
inadvertently restrict middle housing or infill beyond what is allowed for single-
family residential development.
Gaps Identified
Some zoning districts limit units per lot below HB 1110 minimum
requirements.
Housing types are not uniformly permitted across all predominantly
residential zones.
Comprehensive Plan language may require clarification to explicitly
support middle housing implementation.
Alternative Compliance and Riverview Considerations
HB 1110 allows for “alternative compliance,” which permits cities to exempt up
to 25% of single-family lots from middle housing requirements under limited
circumstances.
Eligible exemptions include lots that:
Have a demonstrated risk of displacement;
Have a demonstrated lack of infrastructure capacity;
Are located within a critical area or buffer;
Page 50 of 205
Are within a one-mile radius of an airport with 9 million annual
enplanements;
Are subject to projected sea level rise, increased flooding, wildfire
susceptibility, or geological hazards over the next 100 years.
Exemptions based on displacement risk or infrastructure capacity are time-
limited and allow delay, not permanent exemption.
Alternative compliance cannot be used in areas:
Where exclusion would further racially disparate impacts or result in
discriminatory zoning effects;
Within one-half mile walking distance of a major transit stop;
Historically covered by a covenant or deed restriction excluding racial
minorities from owning property or living in the area, as known at the
time of comprehensive plan updates.
With respect to Riverview, preliminary review indicates the area does not
appear to qualify for permanent exemption under HB 1110. While further study
could be conducted, it is unlikely to significantly change this conclusion.
A key limiting factor is the historical exclusion of racial minorities in western
Pasco. Pasco was legally racially segregated for much of its history, and racial
minorities were prevented from settling west of the train tracks, which includes
modern-day Riverview. As a result, this area falls under the statutory limitation
preventing exemption in historically exclusionary areas.
Impact (other than fiscal)
Expanding housing options may increase housing supply and provide more
attainable ownership and rental opportunities.
Missing middle housing is typically similar in scale to single-family homes and
designed to integrate into existing neighborhoods.
Additional housing density may increase long-term demand on transportation,
utilities, parks, and schools. These impacts will be addressed through existing
development standards, impact fees, concurrency requirements, and capital
planning.
While the state mandates minimum allowances, cities retain authority over:
Design standards
Setbacks
Height limits
Parking standards
Infrastructure requirements
V. DISCUSSION:
Page 51 of 205
Pasco is projected to continue experiencing significant population growth over
the next 20 years. State legislation is intended to ensure cities accommodate
projected population growth and housing demand by allowing a broader range
of housing types.
Pasco already accommodates a range of housing types across multiple zoning
districts and master-planned developments. However, HB 1110 requires that
additional housing types and minimum unit allowances be permitted in areas
historically limited to detached single-family housing.
Staff and consultants have been evaluating:
Current zoning capacity
Infrastructure availability
Compatibility with existing neighborhoods
State requirements and timelines
Land Capacity Analysis implications
Options that best align with Pasco’s long-term growth strategy
Several implementation approaches are available, including:
Targeted zoning amendments
Broader citywide allowances
Application of the state model code
Limited use of alternative compliance where legally defensible
This workshop provides Council with an overview of requirements and potential
approaches prior to formal code amendment consideration.
Recommendation
No action is requested. This workshop is intended to inform Council and
receive initial feedback prior to development of draft code amendments.
Constraints (time or other considerations)
State law requires local compliance.
Failure to adopt compliant regulations results in automatic application of
state model code.
Code amendments require Planning Commission review, public hearing,
and Council adoption.
Changes must be coordinated with the Comprehensive Plan and Land
Capacity Analysis.
Next Steps
1. Continued evaluation of zoning and land capacity
2. Prepare draft code amendments consistent with state requirements
3. Conduct Planning Commission workshops and public outreach
4. Return to Council for formal review and adoption
Page 52 of 205
Alternatively, Council May
1. Provide policy direction regarding implementation approach
2. Request additional analysis or alternatives
3. Request phased implementation or additional outreach

HB 1110 includes “alternative compliance,” allowing a city to effectively
exempt up to 25% of single-family lots. Those exempted lots must have:
◦A demonstrated risk of displacement; or
◦A demonstrated lack of infrastructure capacity; or
◦Be located within a critical area or buffer; or
◦Be located within a one-mile radius of an airport with 9 million annual enplanements; or
◦Be subject to sea level rise, increased flooding, wildfire susceptibility, or geological hazards

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council March 9, 2026

Meeting: 3/23/26
FROM: Maria Serra, Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: Presentation - Community Workforce Agreement (8 minute staff

Presentation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
This item is presented for information and policy discussion. No action is
requested currently.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no immediate direct fiscal impact associated with this discussion item.
If Community Workforce Agreements (CWAs) or Project Labor Agreements
(PLAs) were implemented on future capital projects, potential fiscal impacts
could include:
Increased administrative and compliance costs;
Reduced contractor participation in competitive bidding; and
Potential upward pressure on construction bid prices.
These impacts would vary depending on project size, market conditions, and
agreement terms and cannot be quantified without specific project analysis.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
Washington State law requires that public works projects pay prevailing wages
in accordance with Chapter 39.12 RCW. In addition, RCW 39.04.320
establishes minimum apprenticeship utilization requirements for public works
Page 91 of 205
projects exceeding $2 million.
Apprenticeship requirements for all projects, per state law:
Thresholds: Projects estimated to cost $2 million or more are subject to
apprentice utilization requirements. This threshold will be reduced to
$1.5 million beginning July 1, 2026, and $1 million beginning July 1,
2028.
Contractor Responsibility: Contractors must ensure that at least 15% of
labor registered by performed are works public on hours projects
apprentices enrolled in state-approved apprenticeship programs.
agencies must Public incorporate Agency Public Responsibilities:
apprentice utilization requirements into bid documents and contracts,
including provisions for tracking, wages, expected costs, incentives,
penalties, and good faith efforts
WSATC and L&I: The Washington State Apprenticeship & Training
Council (WSATC) is responsible for developing and approving training
programs, while the Washington Department of Labor and Industries
(L&I) negotiates wage rates and enforces compliance with prevailing
wage laws. Local agencies at minimum enforce contract requirements
by ensuring timely filing of intents and affidavits from contractors and
subcontractors. weekcly of involved reviews cases, some In more
certified payroll apply.
Reciprocity Agreements: Washington State has an Apprenticeship
Reciprocity Agreement with Oregon and Montana, allowing for the
utilization of apprentices from those states in Washington projects.
These requirements aim to ensure a skilled workforce for public works projects
onward by supporting the apprenticeship program. These statutory provisions
are intended to ensure fair compensation and workforce training opportunities
for publicly funded construction projects.
Some public agencies in Washington have adopted Community Workforce
Agreements (CWAs) or Project Labor Agreements (PLAs) for selected capital
projects. PLAs are pre-hire collective bargaining agreements that establish
standardized labor terms and conditions for all contractors and subcontractors
working on a specific project. CWAs are a form of PLA that incorporates
additional community-focused objectives, such as local hiring and targeted
recruitment goals.
Council has asked staff to evaluate whether the use of CWAs or PLAs would
Page 92 of 205
provide additional benefits beyond the existing statutory and contractual
framework currently used for municipal capital projects.
V. DISCUSSION:
State prevailing wage law establishes minimum wage and benefit levels for
public works projects, and state law includes apprenticeship utilization
requirements for larger projects. In addition to these statutory requirements, the
City of Pasco, like many local agencies in Washington, typically incorporates
the WSDOT/APWA Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal
Construction into its contract documents.
The WSDOT/APWA Standard Specifications provide comprehensive
requirements governing contractor performance, work administration, safety
compliance, and dispute resolution. These specifications establish uniform
contract conditions related to work hours, safety obligations, notice and claims
procedures, and formal processes for resolving disputes. As a result, many of
the operational and coordination objectives commonly associated with CWAs
or PLAs, such as standardized work rules, safety expectations, and structured
dispute resolution, are already addressed through the City’s existing contract
framework.
Proponents of CWAs and PLAs state that these agreements may further
reduce the risk of labor disruptions through no-strike provisions and provide a
mechanism for implementing targeted workforce objectives, including local
hiring and participation goals for underrepresented populations. Supporters
also labor coordination workforce improve and CWAs that indicate may
predictability on large or complex construction projects.
Opponents of CWAs and PLAs note that Washington’s existing statutory
framework already establishes wage and apprenticeship standards, and that
local public works contracts already include standardized performance and
dispute provisions. They raise concerns that CWAs introduce an additional
administrative layer that requires specialized oversight, reporting, and
compliance monitoring. Implementation of a CWA would require the city to
administer workforce tracking, verify hiring and participation goals, coordinate
with compliance third-party engage organizations, and labor potentially
monitoring services.
There competition. are also concerns regarding market participation and
Because CWAs and PLAs establish specific labor conditions applicable to all
contractors and subcontractors, some contractors, particularly small or non-
union firms, may choose not to bid on projects subject to these agreements.
Reduced bidder participation can limit competition and may result in higher
construction costs.
Page 93 of 205
Additionally, CWAs and PLAs are not required to meet prevailing wage or
apprenticeship standards, as those requirements already exist under state law.
As such, CWAs may be viewed as duplicative of existing regulatory and
contractual mechanisms while adding administrative complexity. The potential
cost impacts associated with reduced competition and increased contract
administration may be reflected in higher project bids and overall program
costs.
For municipalities, CWAs and PLAs would function as workforce and labor
management tools rather than procurement or funding mechanisms. It is worth
noting that these CWAs/PLAs cannot apply to any project using Federal
Funding as we cannot deviate from Federal policy without jeopardizing the
funding. Therefore, the use of CWA and PLAs is discretionary and typically
considered on a project-by-project basis for large or high-risk projects.
Jurisdictions that adopted CWAs or PLAs did so based on policy priorities
related to workforce development, equity objectives, and labor stability.
Please note that there is not sufficient experience implementing PLA and CWA
in other local agencies in Washington State to understand the benefits and
impacts of such practice. Although, a handful of agencies have approved
policies on this regard, the associated programs have not been fully
implemented at this time.
Additional comments:
When non-local labor is used on construction projects, a portion of
project spending may still benefit the local economy through worker
expenditures on lodging, meals, fuel, and other daily needs. These
short-term expenditures can support local businesses such as hotels,
restaurants, and retail establishments during the construction period. At
the same time, construction workers are highly mobile, and individuals
who relocate temporarily or are hired through CWA may not remain in
the region after project completion, limiting the long-term local economic
benefit.
During the 2025 contractor union labor strike, construction activity in
Pasco and nearby cities experienced minimal disruption, with most
municipal projects proceeding without significant delay or cost
escalation. This experience suggests that regional labor disputes have
not historically posed a substantial risk to local capital project delivery.
As additional the justify not may a stability labor result, alone
administrative and contractual requirements associated with
implementing a CWA for municipal projects in this area.
Policy Considerations
Page 94 of 205
Council may wish to consider the following policy factors:
Whether existing state law and standard specifications sufficiently
address workforce and project delivery objectives;
Whether additional workforce or community participation goals are
desired beyond statutory requirements;
The potential effects on project cost, schedule, and contractor
participation; and
The administrative capacity required to implement and monitor CWAs or
PLAs.
Recommendation
Revisit issue in 18-24 months allowing other first agencies adopting these
policies to implement the program. Evaluate they experience in
implementation, pros and cons and lessons learned.
Alternatives
Continue relying on existing state public works requirements and
standard contract specifications without adopting CWAs or PLAs.
Consider CWAs or PLAs on a limited, project-specific basis for large or
complex capital projects.
Adopt a formal policy governing when CWAs or PLAs may be
considered for municipal capital projects.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council March 1, 2026

Meeting: 3/23/26
FROM: Maria Serra, Public Works Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: Presentation - Clark Street Improvements (5 minute staff presentation)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Presentation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion/Presentation
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Pasco received a $1,793,000 state grant from WSDOT as part of the 2025-
2027 Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program to design and construct the Clark
Street Improvements project. No local funds are anticipated to be used for this
project.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
Pasco's Downtown Pasco Master Plan was adopted by City Council on
January 3, 2023 via Resolution 4292. One of the established goals in the
master plan is Active and Safe Streets and Public Places for All. To achieve
that goal, the plan listed four catalyst projects to right-size and enhance
downtown streets and mobility. Clark Street Improvements project is one of
four identified under this category.
Clark Street has a varied land use, as it is substantially residential west of 5th
Avenue, while mostly commercial to the east. This project will implement a
road diet concept for the western segment, reducing the travel lanes from four
to two on the western segment to allow for angled on-street parking and
introducing a cycle-track for bicyclists that would be protected from vehicles.
The eastern segment will continue to have two travel lanes and parallel parking
Page 113 of 205
on both sides of the street, eliminating some angled parking.
Impact (other than fiscal)
Downtown streets typically carry relatively low traffic volumes and in some
cases are oversized for anticipated traffic. Right-sizing of Clark Street in this
downtown area will improve the experience for pedestrians and bicyclists while
accommodating vehicle access needs. This includes improving the feeling of
safety and security in downtown, which was noted as a high priority for the
community during the outreach efforts completed as part of the Downtown
Master Plan establishment and mentioned within the Plan.
The concept for this project includes conversions to both angled and parallel
parking. Although the conversion will result in some overall parking stalls on
the eastern segment of this project, the net result on the entire corridor is
expected to be an increase of approximately 4 stalls. Continued public
engagement and direct stakeholder outreach will be included as part of this
project's design phase.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
No formal action is requested at this time.
Constraints
The project scope is limited to downtown Pasco, specifically on Clark Street
between 2nd Avenue and 10th Avenue.
Next Steps
After receiving fund program authorization from WSDOT, the City will begin
design efforts, starting with selection of an engineering firm to provide those
services.
Alternatives
At this time, the Clark Street Improvements project is presented for information
and discussion only.

It's important to note that the TIP itself is not a budget but is a planning
document that can be used in conjunction with other information during project
budget setting.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
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 Comprehensive Safety Action Plan. Additionally, they are identified
through community engagement, stakeholder coordination (e.g., with the
Page 125 of 205
Pasco School District for Safe Routes to School improvements), and
operational and maintenance needs identified by City Departments.
Development of the 2027-2032 Transportation Improvement Program is be led
by Public Works Department, and informed by the City Council, the public, and
other city staff and departments.
Impact (other than fiscal)
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. IThe Council will see many of
these projects again, incorporated with the annual Six-Year Capital
Improvement Plan later this year.
V. DISCUSSION:
The current TIP encompasses 45 projects, 3 programs and 5 studies (53 items
in total).
Recommendation
No formal action is requested at this time.
Constraints
Per State statute, the updated TIP must be adopted by July 1st every year 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.
The timely and accurate completion of the 6-year TIP is critical to being able to
access the funds awarded via state and federal grants for Transportation
projects in the City.
Next Steps
The forthcoming iteration of the plan will remove projects that are anticipated to
be completed by the end of 2026 and incorporate newly identified projects and
plans. Special attention will be put forth to accurately represent projects that
are funded with Federal and State dollars.
Staff is working to secure dates and venues to host public open house events
to solicit community input, feedback, and ideas on projects in late April/May.
Online platform for submission of comments will also be available for the
general public. A public hearing is tentatively planned in late May.
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 3 months, for staff to gather
Page 126 of 205
feedback from both the Council and the public. This includes addition of new
projects, prioritization of the list, while considering grant opportunities as part of
this planning effort. This input will be incorporated into a draft project list for the
Six-Year TIP. Adoption of the 2027-2032 TIP is tentatively scheduled for mid-
June 2026.
Alternatives
At this time, the TIP is presented for information and discussion only.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council March 6, 2026
TO: Harold Stewart, City Manager City Council Workshop
Meeting: 3/23/26
FROM: Richa Sigdel, Deputy City Manager
City Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance - Amending Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) 13.45.020 & 13.65
(5 minute staff presentation)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
No Fiscal Impact
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
On January 20, 2026, the Pasco City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4804,
which amended portions of the Pasco Municipal Code related to water and
sewer connection fees. The ordinance updated several fee provisions and
removed PMC Section 13.45.020, Connection to Existing Lines, and Chapter
13.65, Sewer Extensions, to align the municipal code with the revised fee
structure.
While some of the amended fees adopted under Ordinance No. 4804 took
effect or will take effect prior to January 1, 2027, the fees associated with PMC
Section 13.45.020 and Chapter 13.65 are not scheduled to take effect until
January 1, 2027.
Because the updated fees related to those provisions are not effective until that
date, the prior fee structure remains in effect until December 31, 2026. The
removal of these sections prior to the implementation of the new fees created a
gap in the municipal code that could create confusion regarding applicable
Page 139 of 205
connection and extension requirements during the interim period.
The proposed ordinance reestablishes PMC Section 13.45.020 and Chapter
13.65 to allow the City to continue administering the current fee structure
through December 31, 2026. The ordinance also includes a provision that
repeals the with to 2027, coincide January effective sections those 1,
implementation of the updated fees adopted under Ordinance No. 4804.
Impact (other than fiscal)
The proposed ordinance provides administrative clarity and ensures continuity
in the City’s utility connection and sewer extension processes until the updated
fee structure becomes effective.
Reestablishing these code provisions will allow staff to continue applying the
current connection and extension requirements and associated fees without
interruption. The ordinance does not introduce new requirements or impacts for
residents or developers but maintains the existing framework until the new fee
structure is implemented.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
adopt ordinance proposed the Council the that recommends Staff City
reestablishing PMC Section 13.45.020, Connection to Existing Lines, and
Chapter 13.65, Sewer Extensions, and providing for their repeal effective
January 1, 2027, to align with the implementation of the updated water and
sewer connection fees adopted under Ordinance No. 4804.
Constraints (time or other consideration)
The primary constraint is ensuring that the municipal code accurately reflects
the fee structure currently in effect. Without reestablishing these provisions,
staff may lack clear code authority for administering certain connection and
extension requirements until the new fees become effective on January 1,
2027.
Addressing this issue promptly helps prevent confusion for staff, developers,
and property owners who may seek utility connections during the interim
period.
Next Steps
If approved, the ordinance will be incorporated into the Pasco Municipal Code.
Staff extension will continue administering the existing connection and
provisions through December 31, 2026. The sections will then be automatically
repealed on January 1, 2027, concurrent with the implementation of the
updated fee provisions adopted under Ordinance No. 4804.
Page 140 of 205
Alternatives
Do not adopt the ordinance - This would leave the municipal code
without the provisions necessary to administer certain water and sewer
connection and extension requirements until the new fee structure
becomes effective on January 1, 2027.
Direct staff to return with revised ordinance language - Council could
request additional modifications or clarification before considering
adoption of the ordinance.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
Every even year the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office
(RCO) issue a call for applications for a variety of outdoor recreation grant
programs which provide funding for outdoor recreation focused capital projects
such as building trails, purchasing park land, building parks and creating sports
field complexes. Grant request limits range in size from about $50k up to
$1.5m, with a limited number of grants programs having no funding limit.
First submittal of grant applications is due either in April or in November,
dependent on the grant program.
Typically, each grant program requires 50% matching funds; there are a couple
of the grants which institute a grant reduction formula based on community
need and under-served populations which have the potential to reduce match
requirements to as low as 10%.
Over the last 10 years the City has received $1,484,800 in grant funding for city
projects from RCO grants.
Grant applications require Council action resolution. Staff are recommending
the following projects for submission of this application cycle:
1. Land Purchase - Shoreline Dr. Park (apply for two grants)
GRANT 1: Aquatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) – Amount up
to $1,000,000 (50% Match required)
Water Program Recreation and – Washington 2: GRANT Wildlife
Access (WWRP-WA) – Amount up to $1,000,000 (50% Match required)
When applying for these grants, the City can apply for the two grants to
act as matching funds for each other. If successful in obtaining both
grants there would be no financial impact on City. This approach is likely
to make applications less competitive. If successful on one grant but not
the other, the City is responsible for 50% matching funds.
2. Sacajawea Heritage Trail - Levee Lowering (CIP Listed Project $ =
$3.25Million)
GRANT: Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program – Trails (WWRP-
WA) – Amount = No Limit (50% Match Required)
We have submitted this project through this grant at least two times but
have not been successful.
3. Erwin Property – Neighborhood Park (CIP Listed Project $ =
$1.27Million)
GRANT: Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program – Local Parks
(WWRP-LP) – Grant Amount up to $500,000 on Development projects
(50% Match required)
Page 147 of 205
Park the committed been from funds matching in $70,000 has
Development Fund – Neighborhood Park District #3. Sufficient funds are
available within the district to increase the amount committed by an
additional $700,000. This would allow the district to meet the required
matching funds and, when combined with the $500,000 in grant funding,
achieve the total project budget of $1.27 million.
4. Walter's Fields/Pasco National Little League Lighting
GRANT: Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF) – Amount up to $1,500,000.
Location eligible for reduced matching funds (20% match required).
maintains lease a (PNLL) long-term Little National Pasco League
agreement with the City. PNLL provides for maintenance and capital
improvements of the facility, these improvements would be inherited by
the City upon expiration of the lease agreement. Although eligible to
apply as a non-profit for RCO funding, RCO requires PNLL to have a
25-year lease commitment for the facility, the current lease agreement
expires February 1, 2040, making them ineligible without lease
modification.
As a City owned facility we can apply for the funds with matching dollars
to come from PNLL.
City staff are actively working on coordinating with PNLL to support their
efforts.
Impact
Public Perception
At a time when the City is addressing a budget deficit, public perception
regarding additional investment in capital projects may raise concerns about
potential tax impacts. However, these grant opportunities allow the City to
leverage state funding to complete projects that would otherwise rely on local
funding sources. Many of the matching funds identified for these projects have
been collected through park development impact fees or other designated
funding sources rather than new taxes.
Community Benefit
If awarded, these grants would allow the City to advance several Capital
Improvement Plan (CIP) projects that expand recreational opportunities,
improve public safety, and enhance access to the Columbia River.
The projects support the City’s long-term goals of improving neighborhood park
access, enhancing regional trail connections, and maintaining recreational
facilities that serve residents and visitors.
Improvements to park land, trails, and sports facilities contribute to community
health, quality of life, and economic activity generated by recreation and
Page 148 of 205
tourism events.
Leveraging External Funds
RCO grants typically require a 50% local match, allowing the City to potentially
double the impact of local funds by leveraging state resources.
Successfully securing grant funding would reduce the need for future City-only
funding to advance these CIP projects.
Failure to pursue grant funding opportunities could result in delayed
implementation of planned projects or require significantly greater local
investment to complete them.
Project-Specific Impacts
Land Purchase – Shoreline Drive Park
Securing riverfront property preserves limited shoreline access within
city limits and supports future development of a riverfront park.
Without grant funding, the City would need to rely on internal funds such
as the General Fund or Park Development Funds, or acquisition may be
delayed indefinitely due to the limited availability of riverfront property.
Sacajawea Heritage Trail – Levee Lowering
Lowering the final elevated section of the levee would improve safety
and accessibility while allowing replacement of the aging trail with a
wider, modern trail segment.
Completion of this project would improve connectivity along the regional
Sacajawea Heritage Trail and enhance recreational access along the
Columbia River corridor.
Erwin Property – Neighborhood Park
Development of a neighborhood park at Sylvester Street and Road 54
would expand park access for nearby residential areas and support
continued growth in west Pasco.
improve and Park Wade nearby would park The complement
connectivity between the Riverfront Trail and the roadside trail along
Sylvester Street while supporting large community events such as Water
Follies and River of Fire.
Walter’s Field / Pasco National Little League Lighting
youth for hours playable extend of lighting field Installation would
athletics, increasing recreational opportunities and scheduling flexibility
for Pasco National Little League and other community users.
These improvements would also enhance the City-owned facility and
provide long-term infrastructure.

V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends Council approval of the recommended projects by
Resolution allowing the City Manager to sign the RCO Application Authorizing
Resolution and staff to submit grant applications to the RCO grant programs as
listed.
Constraints
The RCO Grant Applications are due April 30.
The availability of riverfront property for purchase within city limits is
limited.
Next Steps
1. Approve resolution at April 6th Regular meeting.
2. City Manager to sign the RCO Application Authorizing Resolution
3. City staff will complete and submit the Grant applications for each of the
identified RCO Grant Programs
4. Should City be selected as a grant recipient, staff will come back to
Council for approval to accept the grant and ask for budget authority if
needed to move forward with the project(s).
Alternatives
1. Forgo application for any of the RCO state grants and continue looking
for other means of funding to help these projects move forward.
2. Provide direction to staff on applying for specific projects of the
recommended grant programs.

downtown Pasco. The City’s 2020 Local Road Safety Plan identified Sylvester
Street as a major corridor in need of safety mitigation measures due to vehicle
crash rates. This project extended from 3rd Avenue to Road 54, excluding the
overpass at US 395. Sylvester Street Pedestrian/Bicycle Bridge Overpass, a
companion project that will provide the missing connection over US 395, is
currently under design and anticipated to be in construction in 2027.

Hi Vincent,
In reviewing these change orders here is the summary of the overages and underruns below.
Change Order 2 – There was a long lag between when the project was bid and when construction started
due to the design of the Sylvester Street project. We needed to have their configuration so that the
signals could be installed to meet the new configurations on Sylvester Street. Due to this lag time, there
was a large increase in the cost for concrete. The change order created unit bid items to account for this
increased cost. The increase was based in the cost provided by the concrete subs supplier for the
concrete. In the change order we included the quantity that we had in the plans. Due to changes that
had to be made during construction to meet ADA requirements, we had overruns in the concrete
quantities. The overruns in this change order for concrete match those for the main bid items. There
were also two ADA Ramp types that we ended up not using as they didn’t fit correctly to meet ADA
requirements. They were changed for other ramp types so those two items from CO 2 were underrun.
Change Order 3 – This change order set up to create a unit bid item for removal of curb and gutter and
concrete sidewalk. The original bid had these items as lump sum and due to the many changes, that had
to be made to the design to meet ADA requirements more sidewalk, curb and gutter had to be
removed. These bid items made those changes easier to negotiate as construction progressed. The
amount of quantity needed was estimated and less quantity ended up being needed.
If you need additional information, please let me know.

Hi Kate,
Any updates on my question regarding the change orders?
At this time, we have this project listed for project acceptance with council on March 23, 2026. This
means I would need the documents ready by next Tuesday February 24, 2026, to get this into circulation
for internal city review. If we miss this deadline I will need to push the project acceptance further. Please
let me know if this needs to happen.

I noticed this when I was working on the resolution (100% green cells) as shown in the screen shot below,

Hi Kate,
I can do the reconciliation change order myself. I would just request for you to provide me the files you
have for this project. I’m looking through the city folders and I am missing several pay estimates and
change orders.

Hi Vincent,
We have paid Apollo for all the work. I didn’t realize that you wanted a reconciliation change order. I will
get one drafted and a final pay application that incorporates that change order. There will not be any
payment associated with the pay application. I will get this to you early next week.

Police minute Chiefs (WASPC) Traffic Safety Grant (5 staff
presentation)
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Resolution – WASPC Traffic Safety Grant Acceptance
WASPC Traffic Safety Grant Award Letter
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that City Council approve the resolution authorizing
Chiefs Police and Sheriffs of Washington a of acceptance Association
(WASPC) Traffic Safety Grant in the amount of $7,500 and authorize the City
Manager to execute all necessary documents associated with the grant.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The Pasco Police Department has been awarded $7,500 through the WASPC
Traffic Safety Grant program to purchase traffic enforcement equipment. The
grant will fund the purchase of:
One (1) Lidar unit - $3,000
Ten (10) printers - $4,500
There is no required local match for the grant. Any costs exceeding the
awarded amount would be the responsibility of the agency.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background:
The Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC), in
partnership with the Washington Traffic Safety Commission (WTSC),
Page 197 of 205
administers traffic safety grants to support local law enforcement agencies in
traffic enforcement and roadway safety initiatives.
The Pasco Police Department applied for funding through this program and
was awarded $7,500 to purchase traffic enforcement equipment. The
equipment will enhance officers’ ability to enforce speed laws and efficiently
process traffic citations in the field.
As part of the grant requirements, participating agencies must:
Participate in High Visibility Enforcement (HVE) patrols focused on
impaired driving or speeding.
Support statewide traffic safety initiatives.
Submit an annual report documenting enforcement activity and
outcomes.
Provide citation data to support the Washington Strategic Highway
Safety Plan
Impact (other than fiscal):
Acceptance of the grant will improve the Pasco Police Department’s ability to
conduct traffic enforcement and support proactive efforts to reduce serious
injury and fatality collisions. The additional equipment will assist officers in
identifying speeding violations and improving documentation efficiency during
traffic enforcement activities.
Participation in statewide traffic safety initiatives also strengthens regional
partnerships focused on reducing impaired driving, speeding, and other
dangerous driving behaviors.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the resolution authorizing
acceptance of the WASPC Traffic Safety Grant and authorize the City Manager
to execute all required grant documents.
Constraints (Time or Other Considerations):
Invoices for equipment purchased under the grant must be submitted to
WASPC no later than May 1, 2026, and the final grant report must be
submitted by October 2, 2026. Failure to meet these deadlines may result in
forfeiture of grant funding or denial of future grant awards.
Next Steps:
If approved by Council:
Page 198 of 205
The Pasco Police Department will proceed with the purchases of the
approved equipment.
Officers will participate in required High Visibility Enforcement patrols.
The department will submit required reports and performance data to
WASPC.
Alternatives:
Do not approve acceptance of the grant, which would result in the
department declining the $7,500 award and forgoing the purchase of
traffic enforcement equipment.
Continue the item to a future meeting for further discussion.
