AGENDA REPORT

Meeting: 4/6/26
FROM: Richa Sigdel, Deputy City Manager
City Manager
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 4824 - Amending Pasco Municipal Code (PMC)
13.45.020 & 13.65
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4824, amending Pasco Municipal
Code Section 13.45.020 Connection to Existing Lines and Chapter 13.65
Sewer Extensions Providing Severability and Establishing an Effective Date,
and authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
No Fiscal Impact
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
This item was discussed at the March 23, 2026 Council Workshop.
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.
Page 29 of 275
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
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 those sections effective January 1, 2027, to coincide with the
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
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the proposed ordinance
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
Page 30 of 275
If approved, the ordinance will be incorporated into the Pasco Municipal Code.
Staff will continue administering the existing connection and extension
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.
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.

4th, 2025, and finalizing punch list (addressing faded striping) and paperwork
at the end of 2025 and into early 2026.
Sylvester Street is an east-west minor arterial that connects residential areas to
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.
Orders been have (COs) Change (3) three began, construction Since
approved. The executed change order work included pushbutton extensions,
fire St, Sylvester and 20th on re-striping steps/ramps, concrete hydrant,
driveway conform work, Rd 50 and Sylvester St infiltration trench, USPS
Cluster Box Units, additional curb, 14th and Sylvester St catch basin work and
flagging.
Change Order No. 4 Reconciliation adjusts the contract total to match all
incurred costs associated with the project and balances them in a final amount
needed to close out the project. This typical process includes any quantity
overruns and underruns from planned compared to actual with an adjustment
to the final construction contract value. Since these amounts were paid for bid
items included in the contract, no further payment is associated with this final
CO.
Impact (other than fiscal)
The project is completely finished and been open for public use since
substantial completion.
V. DISCUSSION:

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.

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.

intersections. And the Phase 3 project, which still requires funding, will include
the final 6 intersections.
Page 50 of 275
The construction contract for the Citywide Traffic Signal Improvements Phase 2
project was awarded to Apollo, Inc on September 12, 2022. Construction is
now completed.
Since construction began, nine (9) Change Orders (COs) have been approved.
The executed change order work included removal of signal work at Sandifur
Pkwy and Broadmoor Blvd, which was to be included in a larger project,
changes to the work along Sylvester Street at 5th & 10th & 28th, adding
removal work for curb & gutter & sidewalk, replace existing traffic signal pole at
Rd 40 and Court Street, additional work associated with making ramps ADA
compliant, directional boring, replacing hit pedestrian push button, changing
size of the street name sign for intersection at Sylvester Street and 10th and
correcting drainage issues.
Change Order No.10 will reconcile all incurred cost associated with the project
and balances them in a progress payment needed to close out the project. This
includes formally and and overruns underruns item bid typical quantity
acknowledges the revised construction contract amount.
Impact (other than fiscal)
The completion of the project ensures the goal of the project to improve traffic
signals citywide and improve the safety and connectivity of these intersections.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
This item was presented to Council at the March 23, 2026 workshop as a
discussion item.
Staff reviewed the parameters of the reconciliation and recommends approval

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.

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.

Page 64 of 275
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
Page 65 of 275
(50% Match required)
Park the committed been has from matching in $70,000 funds
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).
a lease long-term (PNLL) maintains 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 lease ineligible them without 2040, 1, February making
modification in place by June of 2027.
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 opportunities, Plan (CIP) projects that expand recreational
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
tourism events.
Page 66 of 275
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 nearby Wade 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
for hours playable extend would of field Installation youth lighting
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.

Staff presented recommended projects at the March 23, 2026, Council
workshop.
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.

respective appointing agency’s policy or collective bargaining agreement regarding
selection for service on a specialty team. Every investigator assigned to SERICAC will
serve a six (6) month probationary period, during which time the SERICAC Task Force
Supervisor will monitor the investigator’s suitability for the assignment. Removal from
the SERICAC Task Force by the SERICAC Task Force Supervisor may occur at any
time, without just cause and without recourse, during an investigator’s six (6) month
probation. After an investigator’s probationary period has concluded, removal from the
SERICAC Task Force shall occur in compliance with the respective appointing
agency’s policy or collective bargaining agreement related to removal from a specialty
team.

SERICAC Interlocal Agreement (2026) Page 5
b. Voluntary Withdrawal. Due to the nature of the cases investigated by the SERICAC
Task Force, one or more investigators may reach a point where, for mental or physical
health reasons, they are no longer a suitable fit to serve on the Task Force. Should an
investigator request voluntary withdrawal from the SERICAC Task Force for this
reason, his/her request shall be granted, and the investigator will not be expected to
continue to participate for any previously-identified minimum assignment period.
c. As soon as practical, Detectives assigned to the SERICAC Task Force will be
designated as Task Force Officers through the Department of Homeland Security, HSI-
Seattle based on their home agency’s MOU with HSI-Seattle and the detectives’
completion of the training protocol for becoming a cross-designated HSI Task Force
Officer.
d. Computer Forensics/Cell phone Extraction. Due to the nature of the investigations,
most cases will require computer forensic examinations and/or cell phone extractions.
On an “as-needed” basis, each participating jurisdiction will provide computer forensic
and cell phone extraction assistance with cases originating in their jurisdiction.
e. SERICAC Administrator. The City of Richland shall serve in the capacity of
administrative jurisdiction under this Agreement, and shall supply a supervisory person
of the grade of lieutenant or captain to provide administrative oversite. Selection and
retention of the SERICAC administrator shall be at the discretion of the Richland Police
Chief.
f. Evidence Retention. Any evidence recovered by the SERICAC Task Force will be
processed and stored depending on the case’s jurisdiction. For cases prosecuted by the
U.S. Attorney’s Office, the evidence will be processed and retained by HSI-Seattle.
When cases will be prosecuted at the state level, the evidence will be processed and
retained by the Richland Police Department.
7. GOVERNANCE. The SERICAC Task Force shall be an affiliate of the Washington State
Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. The regional unit will abide by the following
ICAC Investigation Standards:
a. Only sworn law enforcement personnel may conduct ICAC investigations.
b. Each investigator involved with ICAC operations must receive ICAC training prior to
initiating proactive investigations.
c. All ICAC investigations shall be governed by and conducted in strict compliance with
the ICAC Task Force Program’s Operational and Investigative Standards to the extent
that they do not contravene HSI operational and investigative policy.

SERICAC Interlocal Agreement (2026) Page 6
d. Where an investigation reveals that the safety of a child is at risk, the safety and well-
being of the child will clearly outweigh any consideration being given to the continued
investigation.
8. ICAC CASE PROSECUTION. Cases investigated by the SERICAC Task Force may be
prosecuted in federal or state court. SERICAC and participating agencies will consult with the
U.S. Attorney’s Office and the appropriate county Prosecutor’s Office to make referral
decisions that, to the greatest possible extent: (1) reflect the seriousness of the offense; (2)
promote respect for the law; (3) provide just punishment for the offense; (4) afford adequate
deterrence to criminal conduct; (5) protect the public from further crimes of the defendant; and,
(6) provide the defendant with the needed educational or vocational training, medical care, or
other correctional treatment in the most effective manner. Prosecutors will consult with law
enforcement throughout the case about charging decisions and sentencing recommendations,
with prosecutors having the final authority to make such decisions. Research regarding the
typical “hands-on” offense histories of those convicted as on-line offenders and child
pornography offenders show that incarceration is the normal expected outcome in ICAC cases.
9. ALLOCATION OF LIABILITY; INDEMNIFICATION. Each party shall be responsible
for the wrongful or negligent actions of its employees while assigned to the SERICAC Task
Force as their respective liability shall appear under State and Federal law, and this Agreement
is not intended to diminish or expand such liability.
a. Federal Entities. HSI-Seattle, as part of the United States government, is bound by federal
laws including the FTCA and the Anti-Deficiency Act, 31 U.S.C. § 1341. HSI-Seattle is
effectively “self-insured” under the FTCA, which provides the United States may be sued
for damage to or loss of property, personal injury, or death caused by the negligent or
wrongful acts or omissions of HSI-Seattle’s employees while those employees are acting
within the scope of their offices. The United States is liable to the same extent an individual
would be in like circumstances. The FTCA substitutes the United States as the defendant
in such a suit and the United States—not the individual employee—bears any resulting
liability.
b. State/Local Entities. Pasco, Kennewick, Richland and Benton County promise to hold
harmless and release each other from any loss, claim or liability arising from or out of the
negligent tortious actions or inactions of its own employees, officers and officials. Such
liability shall be apportioned among the Parties or other at-fault persons or entities in
accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. Nothing herein shall be interpreted
to:
i. Waive any defense arising out of RCW Title 51.
ii. Limit the ability of a participant to exercise any right, defense, or remedy which a
party may have with respect to third parties or the officer(s) whose action or inaction
Page 97 of 275
SERICAC Interlocal Agreement (2026) Page 7
give rise to loss, claim or liability, including, but not limited to, an assertion that the
officer(s) was acting beyond the scope of his or her employment.
iii. Cover or require indemnification or payment of any judgment against any individual
or Agency for intentionally wrongful conduct outside the scope of employment of
any individual or for judgment for punitive damages against any individual or agency.
Payment of punitive damage awards, fines or sanctions shall be the sole responsibility
of the individual against whom said judgment is rendered and/or his or her agency
employer, should that employer elect to make said payment voluntarily. This
Agreement does not require indemnification of any punitive damage awards or for
any order imposing fines or sanctions.

investigations to be generated and maintained in the HSI database or on HSI devices. To

legal risk to each participating jurisdiction, the Parties agree that all requests for SERICAC
Task Force records maintained in the HSI database or generated on HSI devices shall be
processed by HSI-Seattle. To the extent that legal review is needed to respond to a request, the
ICE Office of the Principal Legal Advisor and/or the U.S. Attorney’s Office shall provide the
review. In fulfilling the request, the Parties acknowledge that HSI-Seattle has the ultimate
authority to release or withhold records pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. In the
event any Party to this Agreement other than HSI-Seattle holds records related to a SERICAC
investigation that are subject to disclosure under the Washington Public Records Act, said

RCW 10.105.010(2) or RCW 9.68A shall be forwarded to the contracted prosecutor for the

prosecutorial discretion in reviewing, pursuing, negotiating and/or dismissing any forfeiture
case presented for prosecution. Richland’s contracted prosecutor will coordinate with
participating agencies as necessary. Seizures under federal law will be prosecuted by the U.S.
Attorney’s Office. All forfeitures and proceeds from forfeitures that result from SERICAC
Task Force seizures shall be allocated to the SERICAC Task Force for ongoing operational
needs.
15. FUNDING. The full-time participating agencies commit to the following funding obligations
in support of training and equipment for the SERICAC Task Force:
a. Training. Each participating agency contributing an investigator shall, at its sole cost
and expense, send its investigator to one (1) national ICAC conference per year. This
training is in addition to the training necessary for the investigator to become qualified
to investigate ICAC cases (i.e., Basic Computer Investigations, Undercover Chat, P2P,
etc.). This training shall also be provided at the participating agency’s sole cost and
expense, contingent upon availability of funding.
b. Equipment. Each participating agency contributing an investigator shall, at its sole cost
and expense, provide the investigator with an unmarked vehicle and basic computer
equipment.
c. Financial Contribution. Each full-time participating agency contributing an
investigator, other than HSI-Seattle, shall contribute $5,000 annually to the SERICAC
budget to secure the purchase of UC computers, data storage devices, network
equipment, software licensing, equipment for field searches, router identification, and
other similar technology tools. This annual financial contribution is due on or before
December 31 of each year. HSI-Seattle agrees to provide office space to include a
designated forensic lab room and overtime reimbursement for federal cases worked by

SERICAC Interlocal Agreement (2026) Page 9
members of the task force pursuant to the terms of the separate State and Local
Overtime (SLOT) Agreement.
16. NO LEGAL ENTITY. No separate legal entity is created upon execution of this Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement.

by the Parties, provided that such amendment shall become effective only after it has been
adopted in writing by authorized representatives of each of the Parties after legislative
approval.
18. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable as written, the remainder of the Agreement or the
applications of the remainder of the Agreement shall not be affected. To this end, the terms
and conditions of this Agreement are declared severable.
19. GOVERNING LAW; VENUE. Jurisdiction and venue for any action relating to the
interpretation, enforcement, or any dispute arising from this Agreement shall be in Benton
County Superior Court. This Agreement shall be construed, and the legal relations between the
parties hereto shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. Any
action relating to the interpretation, enforcement or any dispute arising from this Agreement
involving HSI-Seattle shall be heard in U.S. Federal District Court and shall be determined in
accordance with the laws and regulations of the United States.

agreed upon by the Parties, except necessary operational agreements between the law
enforcement agencies of the respective jurisdictions pursuant to Chapter 10.93 RCW. No other

deemed to exist or to bind any of the Parties. This Agreement shall expressly supersede all

21. WAIVER. No waiver by any Party hereto of any terms or conditions of this Agreement shall
be deemed or construed to be a waiver of any other term or condition, nor shall the waiver of
any breach be deemed or construed to constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach, whether

SUBJECT: Public Hearing - NFC Northwest, LLC Franchise Agreement (5 minute

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
NFC Northwest, LLC has paid the fee required by PMC 15.80.020 and
3.35.115.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
Fiber optic cable is a telecommunications technology that uses strands of glass
or plastic to transmit data as light signals. This technology allows for high-
speed internet, phone service, and other data communications that support
homes, businesses, schools, healthcare, and public safety operations.
Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) provides for fiber optic franchises within Title 15
Telecommunications. Through a franchise agreement, the City may authorize a
private provider to install and maintain fiber optic facilities within the public
right-of-way, subject to City standards. Allowing access to the right-of-way
supports expanded connectivity and economic development while ensuring
infrastructure is installed, maintained, and regulated in a manner
that protects public assets.
A fiber optic franchise falls under the general provisions of PMC Chapter 15.40
Page 104 of 275
and does not qualify as either a cable system franchise, which would be
covered by PMC Chapter 15.96, or a small cell system, covered under PMC
Section 15.40.050 and related provisions.
Last year, a strategic partnership with Ziply Fiber created Network FiberCo
(NFC). As part of this partnership, an identical franchise agreement has been
requested for NFC Northwest, LLC, which will own a portion of the network
between the Ziply Fiber network and the resident or businesses served.
Because Ziply Fiber Pacific will still own some facilities in the Pasco ROW, that
franchise cannot be assigned to NFC Northwest. Therefore, a new franchise
has been requested. This franchise agreement requires a public hearing in
accordance with PMC Subsection 15.20.080(2).
Impact (other than fiscal)
Allowing fiber optic infrastructure within the public right-of-way enhances
broadband access and reliability for residents and businesses. The franchise
requires installation, construction, for permits to provider the obtain
maintenance, repair, or removal of facilities, ensuring City oversight and
protection of public infrastructure.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
Following the public hearing, staff recommends approval of the fiber optic cable
franchise agreement with NFC Northwest, LLC for a ten-year term.
Constraints
NFC Northwest, LLCs application was considered complete as of March 17,
2026. PMC 15.40.100 states that franchise applications shall be acted upon by
the City within 90 days. This schedule is within those guidelines.
Next Steps

Council's adoption.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
The Lewis Street Overpass project replaced the existing Lewis Street
undercrossing, constructed under the BNSF Railyard in 1937, with a new
bridge over the railyard.
On March 1, 2021, Council awarded the Lewis Street Overpass construction
contract to Cascade Bridge, LLC of Vancouver, WA in the amount of
$22,344,999.88. Since construction began, the project has required fifty-seven
(57) change orders for a total of $6,844,330.84.
V. DISCUSSION:
One final change order is presented for Council Approval:
Change Order 058 – Quantity Reconciliation
This change order levels the budget quantities for the job to reflect 100%
project completion. The quantity reconciliation adjusts each bid item to reflect
the actual as constructed quantities and incorporates the necessary increases
and decreases to establish the final construction cost for the project.
This change order adds the new bid item "CO058 - Use Tax Adjustment". This
shall be full compensation of tax reimbursement for the tax rate rising from
8.6% to 8.7% and again to 8.9% during the course of construction.
The change order results in a net credit of $710,772.50.
Impact (other than fiscal)
The project is completely finished and has been open for public use since April
26, 2024.
Recommendation
Staff recommends review and approval of Change Order 58, which is
necessary to finalize the project and proceed toward final acceptance.
Page 137 of 275
Constraints
This change order is required for the closing of the construction contract.
Next Steps
Once the Change Order is approved it will be processed. A project acceptance
item will be presented to council in the coming months.
Alternatively, Council may
Deny the change order and delay the close out of the project.

Lewis Street Overpass Project
Contract Change Order Summary
• Change Order No. 1: Office Trailer for Construction Management Team, $38,711.58
This change compensates the contractor for providing the Construction Management team with an on-site
12x56’ trailer with work areas and a dedicated meeting room for regular project meetings. Pricing includes all
associated costs such as heat/ac and setup and removal. This change order covers 24 months of use.
Contractors such as Cascade Bridge, LLC. receive significantly better pricing than infrequent users like the City
or the construction management team. Pricing from the construction management team was compared with
contractor pricing and the most cost-effective option was for the contractor to supply the trailer.
• Change Order No. 2: DBE COA Deletion, $0
WSDOT errored in requiring a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Condition of Award (COA)
requirement of 7% even though it should not have been required by the funding source. This change reduces
the DBE goal to 0% and reduces the apprentice training hour requirement from 2,000 to 0; however, the DBE
firms associated with the project are still performing all anticipated work.
• Change Order No. 3: BNSF Crossing Permit, $100,000
This change order is required for the contractor to construct required crossings over BNSF rail tracks. BNSF
requires concrete panels and fencing be placed at a designated crossing to protect the tracks and decrease
the likelihood of improper crossings. To protect the City from added risk associated with an incident at the
crossings, the contractor was required to obtain the crossing permit and is reimbursed for actual costs per the
contract specifications.
• Change Order No. 4: Girder Embedded Plates and Sole Plates, $33,112.33
Girders on spans 1 and 4 of the Lewis Street Overpass bridge were originally designed with bearing recesses
between 1/8” and 7/8”. Due to required reinforcement spacing in the pre-stressed girders, most of the girders
required reinforcement modifications and additional reinforcement (rebar and plates) to provide the structural
bearing capacity. This change order compensates the contractor for materials and labor to modify the
structural reinforcement.
• Change Order No. 5: Added Drainage and Drywell at Bridge Abutments, $16,915.44
During design of the project, an expansion joint was modified by the Engineer of Record. As the result of the
bridge expansion joint modification, additional perforated drainpipes, trenches, and drywells were required at
each of the BNSF Bridge abutments. This change order compensates the contractor for all costs associated
with providing the new drainage features.
• Change Order No. 6: BNSF Force Account/Minor Changes, $20,000
BNSF requires the City and Contractor to complete/provide many small, unforeseen items on the project
(minor grading, placement of small amounts of materials, adding security fencing, relocating utilities, etc.). The
existing Overpass Agreement allows BSNF to direct work as they deem necessary to maintain safe operations.
This change order reimburses the contractor for this work on an actual costs basis per the contract
specifications.
• Change Order No. 7: Replace Waterline – Alley C & D, $153,555.91
The City of Pasco requested the replacement of the existing waterline in Alleys C and D; and the installation of
a new fire hydrant on First Ave. near Abutment 1. The City stated this work should be performed if it would not
impact the critical path. Cascade Bridge agreed to perform the work and began by removing asphalt in Alley D
on May 11, 2022, and concluded work on May 31, 2022, by backfilling the final connection at Alley D and Clark
St.
• Change Order 008 – Removal of Fuel Tank, $29,206.78
Page 149 of 275
On May 10, 2022, KLB began excavation for SEW Wall’s 1 and 2, and identified two abandoned fuel storage
tanks which were unknown until discovery. Removal of the tanks was required to construct walls leading to the
new Lewis Street Overpass Bridge.
Cascade Bridge contacted GeoProfessional Engineers (GPI), the Geotechnical engineer subcontracted by
prime consultant JUB Engineers, to manage the removal, reporting, and clean-up of the tanks. WSP
subsequently directed Cascade Bridge and subcontractor KLB Construction (KLB) to remove the two tanks per
GPI direction. KLB supported GPI in excavation and removal. All costs were tracked by force account under
the minor change item (A161) since the total scope of work to be completed was evolving as work was
completed.
• Change Order 009 - Unexpected Site Conditions – Subgrade, $210,949.77
In September 2021, KLB began excavation for BNSF Abutment 1, and discovered foundation walls from the
previously demolished hotel were remaining. KLB removed minor portions of walls where they impacted the
footing for the bridge abutment but did not perform any additional exploration since this was believed to be a
localized issue.
In April 2022 as KLB was removing the sidewalk and beginning excavation for SEW Walls 3, 4, 7, and 8, the
following was discovered:
1. Pockets of loose-fill material below the footprint of the old hotel, unsuitable to build over.
2. Concrete foundation walls from the old hotel.
3. Significant pockets of inorganic debris from the removal of previous structures.
4. A tunnel and concrete staircase beneath/adjoining the existing sidewalk at Tacoma/Lewis where
future parking is planned.
After discussing the issue at length with the SEW wall designer and prime consultant, JUB Engineers, it was
determined all debris, loose fill and old structures would need to be removed for wall construction. The existing
soil and voids were replaced as required using crushed rock and concrete for SEW Wall construction.
This item was not previously brought in front of council for two reasons. First, there was no option to complete
this work. Based on the recommendation of the geotechnical engineer, wall designers, and bridge designer,
the four items listed above had to be removed. Second, the full extent and cost of removal was unknown until
excavation could be completed. Items such as the amount of removal, use of reinforcement, depth of removal,
etc. was unknown until the work could be performed.
• Change Order 010 - Schedule 80 Conduit and Trenching, $36,559.01
Per Request For Information (RFI) no. 025 response from JUB on 7/20/21, the Contractor was directed to use Sch 80 electrical conduit and increase the depth of the trenches below the SEW Walls so that there would be
4’ between the top of conduit, and bottom of SEW Wall. This change includes compensation for having to
procure the conduit when the Franklin Public Utility District (FPUD) had committed to providing conduit. FPUD was unable to provide conduit as anticipated for the project because they do not stock schedule 80 conduit.
The subcontractor performing the work, Neppel Electric & Controls, Inc., provided a quote to obtain materials; but due to extremely volatile pricing from conduit suppliers, pricing was only held for 24 hours. Due to the
volatility in obtaining the materials and the depth required by the design engineer, it was imperative to provide
approval to do this work immediately.
• Change Order 011 - Extra Waterline Work, $13,925.36
While installing the waterline and performing temporary and permanent connections on the east side of the
underpass, KLB identified several connections that required extra fittings to be able to tie-in as existing
waterlines were not per plan. This work was tracked as force account work but, there is no minor changes item
in Schedule C to pay for this work, resulting in a change order.
• Change Order 012 - Clark St. Butterfly Valve $3,706.47
Page 150 of 275
Per change order 007, Cascade Bridge was directed to add an additional waterline between Clark St. and 1st
Ave. After the original quote and change order, the City requested Cascade Bridge install a Butterfly Valve at
Clark St. to provide additional control to the system. This change order includes the required labor,
equipment, and materials.
• Change Order 013 – BNSF Force Account II $10,000.00
There is approximately one year left on the project where BNSF requires specific work to be completed on their
property. Examples include requiring the contractor to install security fencing. Staff is requesting that Council
approve $10,000 in force account funds for the remainder of the project.
• Change Order 014 - Remaining Subgrade Force Account $20,029.27
In late 2021, the old hotel foundation walls were identified near BNSF abutment 1 and force account work as
approved and paid to remove the walls that were in direct conflict. This work was done prior to knowledge of
the full scope of the foundation issues. This change order moves costs for the subgrade issues from the minor
changes item into its own change order.
• Change Order 015 - Remaining Waterline Force Account $4,875.70
The project contractor and construction managing company disputed several issues related to previous
waterline force account work. After a full investigation of the disputer, it was determined the contractor was
correct. These disputed costs are included in the proposed change order.
• Change Order 016 - Sales Tax from Change Order 011 $1,239.36
The City removed the sales tax on change order 011 due to a clerical error. Since waterline work should be
taxed, this change order compensates the contractor for the appropriate amount of sales tax which should
have been included in the previous approved change order.
• Change Order 017 - Minor Changes 2022 Reconciliation $19,041.80
To track costs and ensure timely payment for small force account activities, they are typically tracked and paid
under the minor change item. The costs in this change order have previously been paid, but this will move the
costs incurred during 2022 into a new change order item to more easily identify these costs. This will also
allow the Minor Change item to be used for up to $25,000 of new minor items encountered during the project.
• Change Order 018 - BNSF Bridge S3 Rebar Modification $41,160.96
On the BNSF Bridge, the planned S3 bars allowed for only 1/2" clearance between the bar and the bottom of
the block out of the barrier. JUB has issued a change to have Cascade Bridge refabricate new bar so that
there is a min of 2" concrete cover. This change order covers the cost to refabricate 4,488 S3 dowel bars, and
remove and replace the 1,264 S3 bars already installed. Schedule impacts for this have not been quantified yet
and will be addressed on a later change order if determined valid.
• Change Order 019 – SEW Subsurface Delay $848,788.71
When excavating for Structural Earth Walls 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8, the Contractor discovered: unstable soil,
foundation walls from the previous structure, tunnels and staircases, abandoned fuel tanks, and significant
amounts of debris. Upon consulting with JUB and GPI (Geotech firm), the City approved Cascade Bridge to
proceed on force account to remove debris and improve the subgrade in the area below the walls. The City
has agreed to extend the contract time by 60 days due to these issues, with 57 days being compensable.
• Change Order 020 - Modification to Girder Sweep Means and Methods $77,192.65
BNSF stated that they will not allow a girder with a horizontal sweep out of tolerance to be set and remediated
after placement. To reduce the risk of a girder being out of tolerance at the time of placement, Cascade Bridge
modified their means and methods planned at bid time to include pre-measuring the girder sweeps before the
Page 151 of 275
track window, to ensure all girders were in tolerance. This change order covers the cost of the pre-
measurement of the girder sweeps; the cost and time was tracked as force account.
• Change Order 21: Modified Approach Slab – Sleeper Slab and Strip Seal $256,825.00
This is a design error. JUB realized in late 2022 that they had designed the wrong style of approach slab for
the BNSF bridge and reissued several sheets. The change reduces the length of the approach slab, adds a
sleeper slab, changes the expansion joint type, and modifies the flexible coupling in the barrier. While the
amount shows $256,825.00, this does not take into account that the original bid item for the BNSF approach
slab, A-055, will be marked as NO PAY on the estimate, as per direction from the City.
• Change Order 022 – BNSF Security Fence $20,000.00
This change order creates a force account pay item to reimburse the contractor for the costs of renting, placing,
and maintaining security fencing per BNSF direction.
• Change Order 023 – BNSF Bridge No. Signs $1,855.51
The costs included in CO 023 are to fabricate and install two BSNF required signs on the Lewis Street Overpass
Bridge. The signs include the required DOT crossing number and will be mounted on the outside of the
pedestrian barrier directly over one of the BNSF tracks.
• Change Order 024 – Modified BNSF Water Service $142,321.41
The costs included in CO 024 are to install a modified water service for BNSF. Due to the large water service,
the new 8” water service meter will require a heated enclosure. This enclosure requires new electrical work
including service panels, junction boxes, and other associated electrical improvements.
• Change Order 025 – SEW Redesign Delay and Damages $997,699.01
This change order compensates the contractor for time impacts associated with SEW wall redesign efforts. In
SL-066, Cascade Bridge provided a “half-step” schedule delay analysis which concluded a total of 127 working
days were added due to SEW-related efforts. Following receipt of this serial letter, the City of Pasco performed
an independent schedule delay analysis with the same “half-step” analysis. The analysis concluded a total delay
of 119 working days, with 67 days deemed compensable and 52 days deemed non-compensable.
• Change Order 026 – SEW Wall Design Revision $566,769.00
This change order compensates the contractor for impacts associated with SEW wall redesign efforts. The
contractor requested a change order be issued to compensate them for item A-38 (Structural Earth Wall) and A-
167 (Gravel Borrow for SEW Incl. Haul), which they believe were materially changed due to the SEW wall
redesign. The City recognizes a change within item A-38 and will be issuing an equitable adjustment to
compensate the contractor for this item. The City does not recognize a change to Item A-167.
• Change Order 027 – Traffic Control items for added Phase 1A and temporary barrier $45,600.00
The costs included in CO 022 are the added traffic control for Phase 1A, which includes; cones, barrels,
barricades, temporary dotted white line, temporary Class A signs, added survey, added engineering, and added
project management. The labor needed to install and maintain traffic control will be tracked and paid under
existing bid item A-133 Other Traffic Control Labor. Labor to install the temporary Class A signs are included.
Bid item A-132 Flaggers will be used as required and paid under the existing bid item. In addition, the temporary
barrier included shall be paid under the existing bid item A-111.
• Change Order 028 – Thickened Edge Treatment, $19,792.64
This change order compensates the contractor to fabricate and install additional pedestrian guardrail and
construct sidewalk with a thickened edge. Project plans originally identified a portion of the pedestrian guard rail
Page 152 of 275
as chain link fencing; however, this segment needs to be pedestrian guardrail. In order to have the necessary
structural foundation for the handrail, a thickened edge is required on the back edge of the sidewalk.
• Change Order 029 – Revised Joint Utility Trench, $6,985.00:
The costs included in CO 029 are to relocate several utility vaults and revise the utility trench to accommodate
new conduits for Lumen, Charter, and FPUD required to connect to their existing system. Conduits and electrical
vault materials were provided by the utilities. This also includes transportation costs for the contractor to pick up
the electrical vaults which are being supplied by FPUD and deliver them to site.
• Change Order 030 – Infiltration Trench $3,117.81:
The costs included in CO 030 are to relocate storm drainage facilities. In 2022, the project team discovered
there had been basements constructed below the sidewalk at the intersection of 2nd Ave and Lewis Street.
Because of this issue, portions of the storm drainage facilities have been revised and relocated to avoid
excavation immediately adjacent to the building basement walls.
• Change Order 031 – Revised Irrigation Plan $4,717.35:
The costs included in CO 031 are to revise the irrigation plan to reroute and upsize service to the landscaping
between the bridges.
• Change Order 032 – Revised FPUD Trench, $10,487.14:
During construction it was determined the existing FPUD trench would need to be extended to connect into
FPUD’s system at a different location than originally planned. FPUD provided materials related to this change
order which were installed by the project contractor.
• Change Order 033 – Extra Survey Cost, $1,587.00:
This change order compensates the contractor to bring a licensed surveyor back to the project site to re-survey
several project features which were incorrectly identified on the plans.
• Change Order 034 – Paper Joints (West), $3,680.00:
The costs included in CO 034 compensate the contractor to construct paper (temporary) joints on the west side
of the project. These joints were added to allow the contractor to place a final top lift near the end of construction
and avoid nearly one year of construction traffic.
• Change Order 035 – Additional Selant, $14,657.98:
The costs included in CO 035 compensate the contractor for adding additional sealant to the railroad screening.
At locations of stitch welds, the fabricator notified the City that an additional coating was needed to ensure no
long term corrosion of the railroad screening at these weld locations. This clear coating was applied to the weld
areas of 48 panels of railroad screening and is compatible with the remainder of the coating system.
• Change Order 036 – Phase 1B, $27,133.28:
The costs included in the CO036 compensate the contractor for additional costs associated with the closure of
Lewis Street while moving traffic from the existing underpass to the overpass. These costs supplement
Change Order 027, which provided additional traffic control costs for phase 1A.
• Change Order 037 – Railroad Screening Gap, $134,368.20:
This change order added bid items CO037. This change order is the result of an incorrect RFI response during
the shop drawing process to allow gaps up to four inches wide. BNSF requirements only allow gaps up to two
inches. This item is compensation for the contractor to fabricate, coat, and install new painted 3/8” thick flat
steel bar to decrease the gap between the railroad screening and the top of bridge barrier to reduce the gap
within the allowable BNSF specifications.
• Change Order 038 – Sawcut Salvaged Barrier, $5,340.72:
Page 153 of 275
This change order adds bid items CO038 - Sawcut Salvaged Barrier. The project plans required the contractor
to remove a section of historic barrier for the project and deliver the segment to the City shop for storage.
Upon removing the segment of barrier, the base section was much thicker than anticipated. The contractor is
prepared to deliver the barrier to the designated location; however, the barrier is heavier than any of the City
equipment can lift. This change order will sawcut off a large portion of the footing (which is not aesthetic) so
City equipment can unload the barrier.
• Change Order 039 - Minor Change Reconciliation April 2024, $17,183.44
This change order adds bid item CO039 which increases the project budget to account for miscellaneous force
account/minor changes through April 2024 and frees up additional budget for up to $25,000 of minor changes
to be completed on the project.
• Change Order 040 – Striping Removal RFI 147, $3,047.50
This change order adds bid items CO040 - Striping Removal (RFI 147). This item compensates the contractor
for removing additional striping identified in RFI 147.
• Change Order 041 – WSP Office Trailer Rental, $12,100.40
This change order adds bid items CO041. This item shall be full compensation for additional office trailer rent
to the end of the 2024 calendar year, paid monthly.
• Change Order 042 – Irrigation Controller Substitution, $6,049.51
This change order adds bid items CO042 – Irrigation Controller Substitution. The project specifications called
out a specific irrigation controller which appears to have been discontinued before the project was under
contract. The equivalent irrigation controllers are substituted, but prices have risen considerably since bid
time. This compensates the contractor for the increased costs of the substituted controller.
• Change Order 043 - Neppel Electric Escalation, $204,432.61
This change order adds bid items CO043. This item is full compensation for additional subsistence, and
escalation on Labor, material, and equipment due to the extended duration of the project beyond the original
contract days.
• Change Order 044 – Heritage Landscaping Escalation, $72,621.21
This change order adds bid items CO044. This item is full compensation for escalation on Labor, material, and
equipment due to the extended duration of the project beyond the original contract days.
• Change Order 045 – Purcell Painting Escalation, $2,700.02
This change order adds bid items CO045. This item is full compensation for escalation on labor, material, and
equipment due to the extended duration of the project beyond the original contract days.
• Change Order 046 – Cutting Edge Escalation, $6,424.13
This change order adds bid items CO046. This item is full compensation for escalation on labor, material, and
equipment due to the extended duration of the project beyond the original contract days.
• Change Order 047 – KLB Escalation, $52,109.49
This change order adds bid items CO047. This item is full compensation for additional subsistence, and
escalation on Labor, material, and equipment due to the extended duration of the project beyond the original
contract days.
• Change Order 048 – Inland Asphalt Escalation, $208,520.50
This change order adds bid items CO408. This item is full compensation for additional subsistence, and
escalation on Labor, material, and equipment due to the extended duration of the project beyond the original
contract days.
Page 154 of 275
• Change Order 049 – Adjust Catch Basins (RFI-132), $5,383.09
This change order adds bid item CO049. This item shall be full compensation for Labor, material, and
equipment required to adjust all catch basins per RFI-132.
• Change Order 050 – Waterline Casing Epoxy Joints, $17,618.95
This change order adds bid items CO50-1 and CO50-2. This item shall be full compensation for all on labor,
material, and equipment to epoxy coat the welds on the 20-inch and 30-inch waterline casings as required by
updated BSNF standards.
• Change Order 051 – Negotiated Change Order Resolution, $1,935,000
This change order represents a negotiated resolution to outstanding claims through April 2024. Per the
negotiations, the contractor will be provided with the necessary days to complete the project and will represent
a clear-all to all issues on the project prior to this date.
• Change Order 052 – BNSF Security Fencing, $24,937.35
This change order adds security fencing required along BNSF property. The fencing was removed for
construction activities and per the BNSF Overpass Agreement, it must be restored. 415 LF of 8’ tall fencing
will be constructed in accordance with BNSF requirements. This is full compensation for all labor, equipment,
materials, and incidentals.
• Change Order 053 – Valley Gutter Additions, $29,349.82
This change order adds bid items CO053-A58, CO53-5, CO53-6, and CO53-7 which address a low spot along
Main Street which does not have storm drainage. During recent storm events, there is a significant amount of
stormwater held on the east side of the road which extends onto private property. This item regrades the area,
adds valley gutter, and repaves the removed asphalt. This is full compensation for all labor, equipment,
materials, and incidentals; however, the City has agreed if the effort to regrade the area exceeds one day, the
additional time required to complete the work will be completed under force account. This was agreed upon
due to a dispute in how long the regrading effort would take.
• Change Order 054 – BNSF Underpass Delay, $227,337.28
This change order adds bid items CO054-1, CO054-2, and CO054-3, and provides the contractor with 24
additional working days to account for delays caused by BNSF. Bid Item CO054-1 compensates the earthwork
subcontractor, KLB Construction, for the costs incurred from demobilizing and remobilizing to the site during
the BNSF delays. Bid Item CO054-2 compensates the contractor for delays related to material testing
requirements, which were not communicated to the City until the day work was set to begin on filling material in
the Underpass. The late notice and duration of required tests caused significant delays. Bid Item CO054-3
addresses the delays caused by BNSF’s extended submittal review period. Although the contractor provided
all required project submittals on time, BNSF's review took longer than the contractual period allowed in the
contract specifications, resulting in a project delay. The City has a contractual obligation to provide responses
to the contractor’s submittals within a specified timeline. However, the additional time required by BNSF
impacted the contractor’s ability to move forward with the work. This change order includes full compensation
for the escalation of labor, materials, and equipment costs that resulted from the extended project timeline due
to these delays.
• Change Order 055 – 1st Avenue Waterline Addition, $74,295.37
This change order introduces bid items CO055-1 and CO055-2, which include replacing the waterline on 1st
Avenue south of Lewis Street and adding asphalt paving over the newly installed waterline where previously
not anticipated. The replacement of this waterline was not originally part of the project; however, it was
discovered that the existing waterline would have less than the required 4 feet of cover. Additionally, the City
identified that this section of the waterline has lead joints, which are prone to failure when disturbed. Given
these factors, there is concern that a failure may occur soon after the asphalt is placed. This change order
accounts for full compensation, covering escalation in labor, materials, and equipment costs.
Page 155 of 275
• Change Order 056 – Additional Survey – EL Line (RFI 180), $3,212.00
This change order adds bid item CO056, which compensates the contractor for resurveying a portion of the
roadway that was modified to address storm drainage concerns. This item covers full compensation for labor,
materials, and equipment related to the resurveying required on the EL line, as a result of the response to RFI
180.
• Change Order 057 – Additional Contract Time CO55 and CB-191, $0.00
Change Order 057 adds fourteen non-compensable working days to the contract to account for time impacts
associated with previously approved Change Order 055 and the utility conflict identified in serial letter CB-191.
The added days reflect the additional time required to complete the First Avenue waterline work included in
Change Order 055, as well as the delay encountered when the contractor was required to stop work and
evaluate the unforeseen utility conflict documented in serial letter CB-191. This change order provides time
only and includes no monetary compensation.
• Change Order 058 – Quantity Reconciliation, ($710,772.50)
Change Order 058 provides the final reconciliation of contract quantities based on measured and verified field
quantities at project completion, including all necessary additive and deductive adjustments to align payment
quantities with the actual work performed. This change order also includes additional compensation for sales
tax changes that occurred during the project related to the contractor’s use tax obligations on permanently
incorporated materials. This change order represents full and final compensation for both the quantity
reconciliation and the sales tax adjustment.

Resolution
Presentation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4723, setting a public hearing
regarding the City's intended assumption of the Pasco Transportation Benefit
District pursuance to Chapter 36.74 RCW.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Revenue Street Fund - $2.3 million
The Street Fund, which covers personnel, equipment, and materials for city
roadway growing a faced has maintenance, and operation infrastructure
structural financial deficit for a long time. While primary revenues like utility
taxes and fuel taxes have remained stagnant for a decade, operating expenses
continue to rise. Additionally, the number and extent of roadways owned and
operated by the City has grown.
To manage this gap, starting in 2017, City shifted internal crews to projects
funded by the Street Overlay Fund. While this maintains financial stability, it
creates an operational trade-off; staff are diverted from core tasks such as:
Pothole repair and crack sealing.
Striping and traffic safety markings.
Ice and snow removal.
Traffic calming.
Page 157 of 275
Before 2017, City mostly utilized private contractors for overlay work to keep
the small municipal crews focused on these essential services. While the
General Fund has occasionally provided subsidies to bridge the gap, current
budget constraints make this support increasingly difficult to sustain. City's
2025-2026 budget was prepared with Street Fund slated to be in deficit by
nearly $600 thousand.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background:
A Transportation Benefit District (TBD) is a state-authorized, special-purpose
district created to fund transportation improvements within a defined area. The
Washington State Legislature authorized the formation of TBDs under RCW
36.73 in 1987, with the intent of providing cities and counties with tools to fund
critical transportation investments not covered by traditional revenues.
As of 2024, 124 cities across Washington have established TBDs. These
include nearby jurisdictions such as:
City of Richland (established 2017), which collects $20 vehicle license
fee; recently revised to 0.1% sales tax.
City of Kennewick (established November 2024), which implements a
0.1% sales tax.
City of Prosser (established 2009), which adopted a $25 vehicle license
fee.
City of Walla Walla (established 2011), which authorized a 0.2% sales
tax.
TBDs allow for flexible, locally controlled funding options such as:
A vehicle license fee of up to $50 (incrementally adopted without voter
approval).
o $20 can be imposed immediately.
o $40 can be imposed after $20 has been in effect for 24 months.
o $50 can be imposed after $40 has been in effect for 24 months.
A sales tax of up to 0.1% approved by the governing board (if the TBD
covers the entire jurisdiction).
A sales tax above 0.1%, or other revenue measures, subject to voter
approval.
Most cities that have formed a TBD have also passed a subsequent ordinance
to "assume" the powers of the TBD, allowing the City Council to govern it
directly without needing a separate governing body or meetings.
Impacts (Other than fiscal):
The funds generated must be used for transportation improvements identified
Page 158 of 275
in local, regional, or state transportation plans, including but not limited to
roadway preservation, safety preservation, safety projects, non-motorized
improvements, and transit-supportive infrastructure.
Council established Pasco Transportation Benefit District on February 17,
2026. Council has directed staff to move forward with next steps including
assumption of powers of the district to facilitate efficient decision making.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the approval of resolution as presented. This resolution sets
a date and time for a public hearing on the assumption of powers of the Pasco
Transportation Benefit District, as required under Chapter 36.74 RCW, prior to
Council taking action to assume those powers.
Next Steps:
4/6 to 4/20 - City Clerk publishes and posts required public notice of the
assumption hearing in accordance with state law.
4/20 - Public hearing is held at the date and time specified in the
resolution.
4/20 - Following the hearing, if Council determines it is in the public
interest, rights, Council adopts a separate ordinance assuming all
powers, functions, and obligations of the Pasco Transportation Benefit
District.
Upon assumption, the TBD no longer exists as a separate legal entity.
City Council assumes the role of TBD governing body.
5/4 - Council considers ordinance to add the additional sales and use
tax to generate revenue to fund TBD.
Constraints:
Once the sales tax is imposed, it is expected to take 6-9 months for the
tax to be implemented.
Alternatives:
Do not approve the resolution at this time. Council may choose to
delay setting the public hearing. This would delay the full TBD activation
process transportation any before timeline extend further and the
revenue could be collected. This alternative does not eliminate the TBD,
which was already formed by ordinance.
Maintain the TBD as a separate governing entity without
assumption. Council may opt not to assume TBD powers and instead
operate the TBD as an independent governing body. This is less
common and results in additional administrative and reporting burdens,
including potential separate annual financial reports and separate
Page 159 of 275
audits.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve the Resolution No. 4724, authorizing the limited
used of liquor within a designated area at Memorial Park for special event
application for 2026 Pride Festival at Memorial Park. Park.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
2026 Tri-Cities Pride Pride Festival is being organized at Memorial Park from
8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on June14, 2026. The organizers are going through the
City's special events permit process. The event is open to public and the
organizers desire to have a beer garden at the park.
The Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Section 9.40.020 prohibits the possession
and consumption of alcohol in any City park or recreational facility unless the
applicant has secured a valid rental permit. One of the conditions (subsection
e) mandates that events must be private and by invitation only, unless this
Page 174 of 275
requirement is waived by the City Council via resolution. The applicants plan
for the event to be open to the general public rather than a private or invitation-
only event, triggering the need for Council consideration.
Staff reviewed the submitted request and determined that all other conditions
of PMC Section 9.40.020 have been met, including banquet permit, increased
rental fee, insurance, security, and liability requirements. The applicant now
seeks a waiver of subsection (e) to allow alcohol service at an event open to
the general public. Council has authorized administrative approval of liquor use
at Peanuts Park, Farmer's Market and Wade Park during Water Follies via
Resolution 2879.
Staff is working on a formal revision to PMC 9.40.020 to be presented at a
future Workshop meeting. Among the updates under development, staff
intends to recommend language that would authorize the Community and
Economic Development Director to approve alcohol permits at any City park if
part of the standard Special Event Permit process, streamlining special event
process while maintaining cross-departmental safety review. This is a standard
practice across most municipalities
Impact (other than fiscal)
Approval of the waiver can enable a licensed, community-focused public event
to proceed with a controlled and professionally managed beer garden at
Memorial community inclusive of goals Park. the supports This City’s
engagement and economic activity by allowing local small businesses to
participate.
The beer garden area will be fenced, with ID checks and professional security
at the entrance, located away from children’s activity areas. Both the event
organizer and licensed caterer are required adequate insurance including
liquor liability coverage. These provisions minimize risk to the public and the
City.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council approve the attached resolution granting a
waiver of PMC 9.40.020(e) for Special Event Application No. SE26-0107 to
allow public attendance at the beer garden proposed for Memorial Park.
Constraints (time or other consideration)
The event is on June 14 and Council decision will impact event organizers
ability to make alternative arrangements for alcohol service.
Next Steps
Page 175 of 275
If the waiver is approved:
The Community and Economic Development Director will issue the
permit if all other conditions are satisfied.
Staff will bring forward a Workshop item presenting recommended
amendments to PMC 9.40.020, including the proposal to authorize the
Planning Director to approve alcohol service at City parks through the
Special Event Permit process.
Alternatives
1. Deny the waiver. The event may still proceed under all other provisions
of the Special Event Application process, but without a beer garden
open to the general public. The applicant would need to either cancel
the beer garden component or restructure it as a private, invitation-only
function.
2. Approve with additional conditions. Council may choose to approve the
waiver subject to specific additional conditions beyond those already
required by PMC 9.40.020 (e.g., capped capacity, additional security
personnel, or modified operating hours for the beer garden).

Dear City council and whom it may concern,
On behalf of Tri-Cities Pride, I would like to formally request approval to include a
licensed beer garden at this year ’s Tri-Cities Pride Festival at Memorial Park.
Last year, the City approved a beer garden as part of our event, and we are proud to report that
it was operated safely and responsibly throughout the entire festival. There were no safety
incidents, no reported injuries, and no issues related to alcohol service. Our team worked
closely with vendors, volunteers, and security staff to ensure that all alcohol service followed
applicable regulations and that the environment remained safe and controlled for all attendees.
The beer garden contributed positively to the event by providing a designated and monitored
space for responsible alcohol consumption while helping support the financial sustainability of
the festival. As a nonprofit community event, these revenues help offset the significant costs
associated with hosting a large public gathering, including permits, safety infrastructure,
accessibility accommodations, and event programming.
Based on last year ’s successful experience, we believe we demonstrated our ability to manage
alcohol service in a professional, responsible, and well-organized manner within a public park
setting. For this year’s festival, we plan to implement the same controlled approach, including
proper licensing, age verification procedures, trained staff and volunteers, and a clearly defined
beer garden area.
We respectfully request the City’s approval to include the beer garden again this year so that we
can continue providing a safe, welcoming, and well-managed community celebration.
Please let us know if there are any additional steps, documentation, or approvals needed to
move forward with this request. We are happy to coordinate with the appropriate departments to
ensure all requirements are met well in advance of the event.
Thank you for your time and for your continued support of community events in Pasco.
Sincerely,
Aisha Martin
President, Tri-Cities Pride

MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. 4726, setting 7:00 PM on Monday,

of and 103 Road between Broadmoor Road Harris the Right-of-Way,
Boulevard, within the Broadmoor Area.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Due to a unique circumstance, the applicant's petition application requesting
vacation of the following right-of-way will be provided by staff at the council
meeting or in a newly published packed on Monday, April 6th.
Background:
On May 2, 1980, the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) and Franklin County entered into a turnback agreement, identified as
“GM 1045,” for the roadway known as “CC Line,” as depicted on Exhibit A of
Page 197 of 275
that agreement. This area includes the segment now proposed for vacation,
which is affected by the City’s planned realignment of Harris Road/Road 103.
Under the agreement, the County conveyed the necessary right-of-way to
WSDOT for construction of SR 182 and related improvements. The State
assumed jurisdiction during construction, with jurisdiction and maintenance
responsibilities transferred back to the County upon completion. The
agreement also established long-term ownership and maintenance
responsibilities for the roadway system.
In addition, a separate agreement (GM 0968), executed on May 23, 1980,
addressed the construction of a pedestrian and bicycle trail within the same
general area. Under that agreement, the State constructed the trail, after which
the retained The maintenance. State responsibility assumed County for
perform to right the reserved elements structural for responsibility and
maintenance and recover costs from the County if maintenance obligations
were not met.
The City subsequently annexed this area on January 5, 1981, through
Ordinance No. 2388.
Dale Adams, on behalf of Broadmoor Properties, LLC, submitted a petition for
vacation. The petition meets 100 percent of the required two-thirds threshold
under PMC 12.40.020(2), as the right-of-way is associated with a single parcel,
with a small portion abutting a WSDOT interchange. The petition will be
provided at the meeting.
This segment of right-of-way is no longer necessary due to the realignment of
Harris Road/Road 103, as approved by City Council through Resolution No.
4608 and currently being implemented by Public Works in coordination with
adjacent property owners. A City irrigation line is located within the right-of-
way, and a City water line is situated near the southern boundary near the
future intersection. The City intends to retain easements for these utilities
pursuant to PMC 12.40.080.
Impact:
At this time, the action before City Council is to set the date and time for a
public hearing. If approved, the proposed vacation will be considered by
Ordinance at the public hearing scheduled for May 4, 2026.
The proposed vacation will not result in any landlocked parcels or substantially
impair access. All affected properties will retain both legal and physical access,
including via the planned north/south Road 103 connection to Harris Road at
the southwest corner of the subject property. The City also intends to retain
easements for existing irrigation and potable water lines.
Page 198 of 275
Although this portion of right-of-way has historically been used, the planned
roadway network for the area has since been modified, and necessary
connections will be provided through alternative alignments.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of this resolution to set the date and time for a
public hearing on May 4, 2026, at which time the proposed vacation will be
considered by Ordinance. This action supports the affected property owner and
interested parties, while ensuring the City retains necessary easements as part
of any subsequent Ordinance approval.
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 or
local circulation, as the right-of-way has been determined to be
unnecessary by transportation professionals, former City Council and
will be replaced by an alternative route connecting to Sandifur Parkway.
2. The right-of-way is not expected to be needed for future public
provided. be route alternative will as purposes, transportation an
However, the City will retain easements for the existing irrigation and
potable water lines to ensure continued operation until such time as
these facilities can be relocated or replaced.
3. be access will nor landlocked, be will properties No rendered
substantially impaired. The subject property will maintain future access
from Broadmoor potentially and 103, Sandifur Road Parkway,
Boulevard, subject to WSDOT access restrictions or coordination for any
necessary approvals.
4. The public need will not be adversely affected. In fact, the proposed
vacation provides a public benefit by increasing the size and usability of
the affected parcel. With the retention of necessary utility easements,
the site will gain additional developable area and eliminate the existing
roadway that currently bisects the property.
certain Pursuant to PMC 12.40.030, the City may waive submittal
requirements, including a legal description, title report, and a signed agreement
for compensation, in whole or in part. Specifically, the City may waive the
survey requirement if the location and legal description are sufficiently known
Page 199 of 275
(PMC 12.40.110, as referenced in PMC 12.40.030(b)); may waive the title
report requirement pursuant to PMC 12.40.120(2), as referenced in PMC
12.40.030(c); and may require, or waive, a signed agreement for appraisal and
compensation for the right-of-way proposed for vacation pursuant to PMC
12.40.120, as referenced in PMC 12.40.030(e).
Staff provides the following recommendations:
Legal Description / Survey: Staff recommends waiving the survey
requirement at this time; however, a survey will be required prior to the
public hearing to support recording of the ordinance.
Title Report: Staff recommends waiving the title report requirement.
Through Resolution No. 4608, City Council determined the right-of-way
is its supporting thereby circulation, public for essential not traffic
potential for future vacation.
Compensation:WSDOT to coordinating with Staff recommends
determine whether compensation is applicable and, if so, to whom it
should WSDOT 2025 9, December meeting, During paid. be the
indicated a potential interest in compensation; however, the turnback
agreement does not explicitly address this. Pursuant to PMC
12.40.120(1)(a), the City Council may require compensation up to the
full appraised value for right-of-way held for 25 years or more or
acquired at public expense. This right-of-way was annexed more than
45 years ago. This matter will likely require review by the City Attorney.
Staff will work to resolve the legal description and compensation considerations
prior to the public hearing scheduled for May 4, 2026 should this resolution
pass.
Next Steps:
A public hearing is scheduled for May 4, 2026, at which time an ordinance will
be considered to formally vacate this portion of the right-of-way, with provisions
for retaining necessary easements.
Prior to the hearing, staff will complete required public notice, coordinate with
the petitioner, WSDOT, and the City Attorney, and request their attendance.
Alternatives:
While PMC 12.40.070 does not explicitly outline criteria for denial, the City
Council retains the authority to deny the proposed right-of-way vacation if
supported by appropriate findings. Denial may impact the affected property
owner and potential purchasers, limit the amount of developable land available,
and result in an underutilized paved right-of-way remaining in place.

Transforming People and Places
Cathedral Thinking is a mindset rooted in long-term
vision and purpose. It reflects the dedication of those
who built great cathedrals—crafting something
extraordinary they knew they would never see
completed. It is about committing excellence, skill, and
determination to work that serves future generations.
As Forbes summarized, people don’t simply want to lay
bricks—they want to build cathedrals.
The tourism community is rich with Cathedral Thinkers
who play a transformative role in shaping the people
and places of the Tri-Cities.
Visit Tri-Cities acts as a bridge connecting community
leaders, agencies, and tourism partners as we help
infuse economic vitality and community achievement.
Our work is wrapped in the strategic art of shaping
and enhancing the Tri-Cities to deliver genuine
experiences, drive sustained business success, and
build meaningful local pride.
The 2025 Annual Report provides a snapshot of key
metrics and accomplishments from our efforts to
fuel transformational growth in the Tri-Cities
through tourism.
Kevin Lewis Trish Herron
President & CEO Chair of the Board
Genuine Experiences
The IRONMAN® 70.3® event is transforming the
perception of the Tri-Cities as a destination. Each
year close to 7,500 visitors come for the event.
90% travel more than 150 miles and based on their
experience here, they give the community a 94%
satisfaction rating.
Comments from Athletes:
• “The local community is amazing, the area is
beautiful, the food, the wine, the racecourse, all of it.”
• “Clean, pretty…. So very convenient.”
• “I would have never thought about this area without
coming to race and, I can’t wait to go back - even
consider moving here.”
• “The residents were the warmest I’ve ever
encountered (in 30 years of this!)”
• ”This is truly one of the best race locations and events
in my 25 years of doing triathlon.”
IRONMAN® 70.3® Washington Tri-Cities
Sustained Business Success
Tourism infuses more than $643 million into our local
businesses each year. This creates a positive economic
cycle as revenues flow through our community
supporting jobs, lowering taxes, stimulating
opportunity, and enhancing our quality of life. Nearly
6,000 residents earn their livelihood working for
tourism businesses - spurring on over $1 billion in
business sales. – Tourism Economics 2024 Report
Meaningful Local Pride
In 2025 Visit Tri-Cities launched the IM TRI program,
a community initiative that provides two local
participants with the opportunity to train for and
compete in the IRONMAN® 70.3® Washington
Tri-Cities. With significant help from local sponsors, IM
TRI creates a path of hope that propels individuals
over obstacles that might otherwise prevent their
participation – and in the process it transforms
their lives.
“The IM TRI program really catapulted him in a different
space. He went from this darkness in his past life, and
he’s able to continue that journey into this light through
exercise and the support of the community.”
– IM TRI Participant’s Spouse

Lodging Tax (LTAC)
A tax paid by visitors who stay in short-term lodging such
as hotels and motels. The tax is collected by the lodging
property and remitted to the state, which then distributes
the local portion back to each city. Under current interlocal
agreements, Visit Tri-Cities receives approximately one-half
of the local 2% lodging tax collected by each city. This is
calculated as a rolling five-year average. These funds must
be used for tourism promotion and tourism-related facilities.
Tourism Promotion Area (TPA)
This state-authorized funding is endorsed and implemented
by local hotel operators to support marketing and
promotion of tourism in the area. In a TPA, local hotels
with 40 or more rooms agree to collect a nightly per-room
assessment from guests (currently $3). By law, 100% of TPA
funds collected are contracted to the designated Destination
Marketing Organization (DMO) to manage the funds.
Marketing plans and budgets are approved by the local
Hotel/Motel Commission.
Sponsorship
Visit Tri-Cities collaborates with a number of private sector
partners whose strategic objectives, missions, and values
align with the strategic initiatives of Visit Tri-Cities. These
organizations make significant annual investments in
support of the work that we do.

In 2025, the U.S. tourism industry experienced measurable
softening driven by geopolitical tensions, government
restrictions and shutdowns, global economic uncertainty,
and evolving consumer travel behavior. Many destinations
across Washington State reported declines in occupancy,
ADR, revenue, and overall demand.
Despite these broader headwinds, the Tri-Cities lodging
market demonstrated resilience and competitive
performance. Year-end hotel revenues increased 2.2%
year over year, outperforming statewide trends, while
ADR growth and increased room sales offset modest
occupancy declines.
While national travel demand began softening
immediately, the Tri-Cities market remained comparatively
strong through the first half of the year. In mid-summer,
visitation patterns in Tri-Cities aligned with the broader
state and national trends and the second half of 2025
ultimately finished below initial projections/expectations.
One of the factors impacting hotel occupancy is the
increased inventory in the short-term rental market.
Overall metrics indicate continued strength in visitor
demand for this type of lodging.
Despite national tourism contraction, the region
maintained revenue growth, and outperformed statewide
benchmarks—demonstrating the effectiveness of Visit
Tri-Cities initiatives.
There are currently 3,767 hotel guest rooms in the Tri-Cities.

to convention organizers, sports event planners, and group meeting
professionals through direct outreach, strategic marketing efforts, and

community. Visit Tri-Cities strengthened its event pipeline and secured
multi-year conventions and championships for the years ahead. Continued
investment in signature events like IRONMAN® 70.3® and USA BMX further
elevated national visibility, delivered measurable economic impact, and
reinforced the Tri-Cities’ competitive position in the meetings and
sports markets.

Visit Tri-Cities continued to implement
a strategic, data-driven advertising
program to increase destination
awareness, inspire travel, and generate
economic impact for the region.
Through a multi-channel approach—
including display, native, and video
advertising—the campaign connected
with prospective travelers and
highlighted the Tri-Cities’ sunshine,
rivers, vineyards, and spirit of discovery.
The 2025 campaign targeted both
fly and drive markets. Fly market
advertising focused on Phoenix, Salt
Lake City, and Los Angeles, while
drive market efforts targeted Seattle,
Spokane, Portland, and Boise to
encourage regional getaways. In fall
2025, Visit Tri-Cities strategically shifted
a portion of fly market investment to
drive markets in response to changing
travel patterns and disruptions in
government and business travel,
focusing on nearby leisure travelers to
sustain visitation.
