AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council May 11, 2026
TO: Harold Stewart, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 5/18/26
FROM: Angela Pashon, Director
Parks & Recreation
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 4838 – Budget Amendment for Aquatics Center
Operational Expenses
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4838, amending the 2025-2026
Biennial Budget (Ordinance No. 4749) by providing supplement thereto; to
provide additional appropriation in the City's Aquatic Center Fund and, further,
authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Total Amount: $1,318,272
Funding Source: Pasco Public Facilities District (PPFD) Revenue
General Fund: Operation and support of the Pasco Aquatics Center will
remain budget neutral to the City’s General Fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background:
The Pasco Public Facilities District (PPFD), established in 2002 under RCW
35.57, develops and operates regional public facilities. Following voter
approval of a 0.2% sales tax increase in April 2022, PPFD began construction
of a new Aquatics Facility, with completion anticipated in mid-2026.
At PPFD’s request, the City developed an interlocal agreement (ILA) to provide
management, operational, administrative, financial, and legal services for the
Page 32 of 202
facility. The ILA was prepared collaboratively with PPFD and City legal counsel
to clearly define roles, responsibilities, cost structure, and risk protections.
Council previously approved the ILA. After additional review and clarification by
the PPFD Board and its legal counsel, a modified ILA was approved by the
PPFD Board on January 20, 2026. Council subsequently approved Resolution
No. 4868A authorizing the City Manager to execute the updated agreement.
The ILA requires the City to prepare and provide ongoing financial reporting
related to the operation of the Aquatic Center. Ordinance No. 4821 established
the "Aquatic Center Fund" to record collection of revenues of the Aquatic
Center along with related expenditures in a transparent and accountable
manner.
Due to the size, complexity, and risk associated with the expanded aquatics
program, a new Aquatics Division within the Parks & Recreation Department
has been established. To support both the new facility and the existing City
aquatics program, certain positions utilize a shared cost allocation model.
There are three primary categories of expenses associated with operation of
the Aquatics Facility, all of which will be funded through PPFD revenue
pursuant to the ILA:
Start-Up Costs:
These include one-time expenses necessary to prepare the facility for
opening, such as software implementation, recruitment, staff training
and certifications, development of required policies and operational
plans, and consultant services. These costs are being incurred directly
through PPFD.
Labor Costs:
Permanent staff salaries and benefits required to operate and manage
the facility. These positions must be incorporated into the City’s budget
and FTE authorization and are included in tonight’s request.
Operational Costs:
Ongoing services and supplies required with the City assuming
management and operational responsibility for the facility.
Council approved Ordnance No.4822 amending the 2025-2026 Biennial
Operating Budget (Ordinance No. 4749) in the amount of $2,557,900 which
largely related to labor costs.
On April 28, 2026, the PPFD approved admission rates and, as communicated
at last action, staff is returning with a budget amendment for the remaining
operational expenses for the facility for 2026 and corresponding revenue.
Page 33 of 202
This item was presented at the May 11, 2026, Council workshop.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation:
Approve the ordinance amending the 2025–2026 Biennial Budget.
Next Steps:
The PPFD is scheduled to meet Tuesday, May 19th and will need to approve
the budget.
Alternatives:
1. Do not approve the budget amendment. This could delay opening of the
facility.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council April 13, 2026
TO: Harold Stewart, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 5/18/26
FROM: Maria Serra, Public Works Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 4839 - Amending PMC Section 10.35.030 Speed Limits
in Certain Zones
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4839, amending Pasco Municipal
Code Section 10.35.030 "Speed Limits in Certain Zones", to establish new 35
MPH speed limit on Sandifur Pkwy between Broadmoor Blvd to Road 108 and
Road further, and, Road Burns authorize Road Harris between 108 to
publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
New Signs associated with this change were installed by City's CIP project.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
Speed limits are established to inform motorists of the maximum allowable
travel speed for a roadway under favorable conditions. These posted limits
serve as a critical element of traffic control, providing a consistent basis for
enforcement and promoting predictable driver behavior.
The City of Pasco sets and modifies speed limits under the authority granted
by the State of Washington, RCW 46.61.415. These laws provide the statutory
and regulatory foundation for speed limit setting within the City of Pasco. All
speed limit decisions must comply with these provisions and the City of Pasco -
City Council Speed Limit Setting policy to ensure they are enforceable,
promote public safety, and withstand legal scrutiny.
Page 38 of 202
As part of the Broadmoor Area TIF projects, the City constructed new roadway
extensions along Sandifur Pkwy west of Broadmoor Blvd to Road 108 and
along Road 108 connecting Harris Road to Buckingham Drive. These sections
are designed to be minor arterial and collector respectively in accordance with
the Broadmoor Master Plan and Transportation System Masterplan. Road 108
between Buckingham Drive and Burns Road was built by private development
project(s). The design and classification of these roadways, are consistent with
the proposed speed limit of 35 MPH. The construction projects added new
speed limit of 35 MPH signs.
The two Broadmoor Area TIF Capital Improvement Projects associated with
this proposed speed setting are:
1) 23 552 Sandifur Pkwy/ Rd 108 Extension, and
2) 24 600 Broadmoor Area TIF - Sandifur Pkwy Broadmoor Blvd Intersection
Improvements.
Impacts (other than fiscal)
The speed limit setting is considered part of the extension of minor arterial and
collector roadways. Adequate speed setting in corridors helps the
transportation system function efficiently and safely.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
The change to the PMC Section 10.35.030 will extend the 35 MPH speed limit
of Sandifur Pkwy along its new segment, to Road 108. Currently the corridor
has a 35MPH between road 44 and Broadmoor Blvd. The proposed action,
extends the same seed limit to road 108. The ordinance also provides for
adding Road 108 from Harris Road to Burns Road within the 35MPH speed
limit corridors.
Constraints
Both corridors are anticipated to be open to traffic in late May.
PMC Section 10.35.030 defines 35 MPH speed zones. Corridors not shown in
this PMC section, will be considered to have a speed limit of 25 MPH (by
default).
Next Steps
Staff is prepared to bring the Ordinance for amending PMC Section 10.35.030
to the May 18, 2026 regular Meeting for Council's adoption.
Alternatives
Council may elect to not adopt the ordinance. In that case, Sandifur Blvd
between Broadmoor and Road 108 would be considered a 25 MPH corridor.
The same is true for Road 108 between Burns and Harris Road.
In that case, the installed 35 MPH speed signs would have to be replaced with
Page 39 of 202
25MPH signs, or removed, at minimum.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Proposed Bid Award: $ 7,165,461.01
Estimated Project Costs:
Design Phase $ 850,000
ROW Phase $ 350,000
Construction Phase (incl. 10% contingency) $ 8,350,000
Total $ 9,550,000
The approved project budget through the life of the project is $8,161,189 (over
2023-2024 and 2025-2026 biennia)
Irrigation Fund - $ 148,029
Irrigation Bond - $8,013,160
Page 45 of 202
Total spent budget to date, from project inception is approximately $711,700.
A budget amendment for $1.524,755M is proposed to accommodate land
acquisition, and construction cost increases, including contingency allocation
for the project.
Funding for this project is planned to be collected incrementally through
connection fees and irrigation utility rates. Connection fee revenues are
contingent on development activity in the City's northwest region
proceeding as projected. If the Council approves the project, any
departures from the current plan, such as permitting private utilities to
serve new developments in that area, would shift costs onto existing rate
payers. To date, the City has received a few requests from developers
seeking service through private utility providers in the northwest area.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
In 2018, a detailed evaluation of the City's irrigation system found supply
deficiencies within the existing area of service, resulting in low pressure areas
with no capacity for expansion. In response, a series of projects and
operational changes were initiated by the City.
A large part of the effort over the past several years has involved the United
States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) and the South Columbia Basin Irrigation
District (SCBID) in order to plan and implement a project where the City
purchases water from USBR and it is delivered to the City by SCBID at a
location at the end of their canal system. Through collaboration the agencies
have developed a viable plan that if fully implemented will be of benefit to all
parties.
In 2024, Irrigation rates were adjusted and connection fees established in
support of implementation of this project, for the benefit of current users and
the future customers within the planned service area.
On April 26, 2022, the City entered into a Professional Services Agreement
(PSA) with RH2 to perform a final design for the Municipal & Industrial (M&I)
Pump Station and to work with SCBID and Barker Ranch (developer) on
delivery and pipeline details to serve both the upper and lower zones within the
expanded service area. RH2 was contracted to prepare plans and specification
documents required for a complete set of bid documents for bidding, bidding
services, and construction services.
The Project was advertised for bids on March 29 and April 5, 2026. On April
21, 2026 at 2:00pm three (3) bids were received and publicly opened by the
Page 46 of 202
City. The proposal contained three (3) bid schedules. The lowest qualified
bidder was determined based on the total of all three schedules. The lowest
responsive bid was submitted by Rotschy Inc of Vancouver, WA in the amount
of $ 7,165,461.01. The Engineer's Estimate is $ 7,449,138.54.
Bid Tabulation
Engineer's Estimate $ 7,449,138.54
Rotschy Inc $ 7,165,461.01
C and E Trenching LLC $ 8,165,104.20
Apollo, Inc. $ 8,229,187.28
Impact
The proposed upgrades will provide irrigation infrastructure needed to increase
the irrigation system capacity, with a more robust supply to meet demands
provided by the agreement with USBR and SCBID.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
City Staff completed the review of the bid submittal, found no exemptions or
irregularities, and received concurrence of award from the engineer of record,
RH2 Engineering, Inc.
City Staff recommends award of the bid to Rotschy Inc of Vancouver, WA.
Constraints
The proposed award accounts for the extended procurement timelines
current The components. electrical mechanical key with associated and
schedule positions the project to commence following the conclusion of the
2026 irrigation season. Critical elements of the work must be completed during
the to operations. SCBID disruptions The to period non-irrigation avoid
completion of the Project and usage of SCBID water is anticipated to be
needed during the 2027 irrigation season.
Next Steps
Provided the Council awards the contract, staff will work with the awardee to
complete notice provide and to contractual necessary all documentation
proceed in the next four weeks.
Alternatives
Council may choose to reject all bids and readvertise the project. This is
not due sensitive time is since the recommended to process
procurement lead-times. The bid is below the Engineer's estimate.
Alternatively, Council may choose to reject all bids and cancel the
Page 47 of 202
project until further notice, with impact to irrigation water availability to
current and potential future customers.
The timeline associated with either of these two alternative actions would
hinder the City's ability to adequately serve current and future users in the
system.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Page 78 of 202
Background
In 2019, the Group Health Foundation (GHF) approached the Pasco Economic
Development team about occupation of a downtown location to conduct its
non-profit mission in the area. A property search was conducted and it was
found that the Pasco Downtown Post Office provided an optimal location for
GHF. An agreement for improvements and occupation was made and GHF
renovated their space within the post office to provided offices, ADA upgrades
to passageways and restrooms, and mitigation of asbestos, all long-term
improvements to this asset. The improvements provided totaled $75,000. As
negotiated, under the proposed agreement lease rates will be discounted on a
pro-rated basis for the lessee in order to provide a return on this capital
investment of a city-owned facility.
The lease agreement was approved by City Council in April 2022, and initial
term of the lease runs until May 31, 2027, with three (3) one-year options for
subsequent renewal provided adequate notice to the City is provided.
Since the initial lease, the Group Health Foundation (GHF) has been renamed
INITIA Foundation. The INITIA Foundation completed the required
improvements in the original lease and requested to lease additional space at
the same facility to be used for storage purposes.
Staff worked with the City's Real Estate representative to to verify current
market rates for the request storage area to determined the Lease rate
structure and aligned the lease terms to the current lease expiration and
optional renewals.
Per RCW 35A.11.110 leases must be by the City Council resolution. The
Council approved the lease agreement on February 3, 2025, through
Resolution No. 4563. Following approval, execution of the agreement was
unintentionally delayed during leadership transitions in 2026.
As part of addressing this outstanding item, City staff reviewed the agreement
with the new legal services team, which recommended revising the term
language to provide greater protections for the City. Staff has coordinated with
INITIA Foundation, and both parties are in agreement with the proposed
modification.
Impacts (other than fiscal)
If not approved INATIA Foundation will need to vacate the storage space.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation
Page 79 of 202
Staff recommends approval of the modified lease agreement as presented.
Alternatives
1. No action
Constraints
INATIA Foundation is requesting executed lease agreement.
Next Steps
If approved, staff will work initiate the process for executing the agreement.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
National Public Works week was established in 1960 as a means to annually
energize and educate the public on the importance of public works to their daily
lives. Planning, building, managing and operating public infrastructure is at the
heart of improving the everyday quality of life for all.
V. DISCUSSION:
The 2026 theme of "Rooted in Service, Powered by Community" reminds us
that public works professionals are motivated to serve the communities that
they love and that power them to always do their best. Whether serving as first
responders, responding to a water main break, providing 24/7 wastewater
treatment, or making roads and sidewalks passable after a winter weather
event, public works puts service at the forefront for their community.
Page 97 of 202
Public works professionals advance our quality of life by providing
infrastructure in transportation, water treatment and distribution, wastewater
treatment and collection, environmental stewardship and protection, as well as
stormwater management, emergency management and first response, and
right-of-way management. They play a big role in our communities safe,
desirable, and dynamic places to live and work.
Let's take this opportunity to express appreciation to the City's Public Works
employees for their contributions and care for the safety and health of
residents, businesses and visitors of Pasco.

CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
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
Page 106 of 202
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
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 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. The Council will see many of
these Capital Six-Year annual the projects incorporated again, with
Improvement Plan later this year.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff has actively promoted the 2027-2032 TIP in an effort to solicit community
feedback, input, and to address comments and questions from community
members. Public engagement efforts completed include two outreach events:
April 8, 2026, Noon-1:00 PM at City Hall Council Chambers and Virtual
(presentation and open house)
April 14, 4:00-6:00 PM at Reynolds Middle School (open house)
Online platform for submission of comments was also available for the general
public. Outreach efforts summary and written comments submitted are
attached to the agenda report. Feedback from public was generally focused on
lack of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, including along Road 68.
The first draft of the proposed 2027-2032 TIP encompasses 54 projects, 3
programs and 3 studies (60 items in total).
Projects anticipated to be completed by the end of 2026 have been excluded
from the proposed 2027-2032 TIP. The project that falls into this category is
listed below for reference:
Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (SS4A)
The following plan is proposed for removal for the list:
Sign Reflectivity Analysis & Implementation
were City previously pursued a grant opportunity for this project but
unsuccessful in the effort. Staff recommends shifting focus on this work being
completed internally over time as part of asset management and inventory
efforts.
Page 107 of 202
The following projects were requested to be moved up from studies to actual
projects during outreach efforts:
Interchange Feasibility Study, requested to be listed as a project: I-
182/Convention Drive Access Revision
Rd 68/Taylor Flats Rd Intersection Study requested to be listed as a
project: Rd 68/Taylor Flats Intersection Improvements.
Staff recommends keeping both as studies, to allow for the planning process to
determine the most effective solution and define scope of the project prior to a
project being scheduled and costs estimated.
The proposed list incorporates newly identified projects and plans; these
include:
Citywide Injury Minimization and Speed Management Implementation
Systemic Pedestrian Crossing Improvements
Systemic Access Management Safety Improvements
Systemic Low-Cost Countermeasures at Stop-Controlled Intersections
W Lewis St/N 14th Ave Intersection Improvements
4th Ave Pavement Preservation (Lewis St to I-182)
Systemic Roadway Lighting Upgrades
Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan Update
ADA Sidewalk Transition Plan Update
Several of these additions were identified in City's Comprehensive Safety
Action Plan, which was recently finalized. Others align with projects for which
funding applications were submitted.
Special attention was put forth to accurately represent projects that are funded
with Federal and State dollars. Projects that have received funding since last
year's TIP have been updated to reflect their funding status.
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
A public hearing is being held tonight, as well as presentation of the first
Page 108 of 202
proposed draft 2027-2032 TIP. Staff will request guidance from the Council to
ensure the TIP aligns with the transportation priorities and make revisions
and/or additions based on the received feedback tonight.
The next workshop discussion is tentatively scheduled for the June 8, 2026.
Adoption of the 2027-2032 TIP is tentatively scheduled for June 15, 2026.
Alternatives
At this time, the TIP is presented for public hearing and any additional
feedback from City Council.

TIP Comments
Please provide your comments and suggestions on the proposed Transportation Improvement Plan.
Your Comments*
Your agency has not been compliant with MPO/RTPO regulations - and, sadly, the staff at the
MPO/RTPO do not possess the experience to know that Benton -Franklin are being completely
taken advantage of by both WSDOT and your Benton -Franklin-Walla Walla GRTA members.
GRTA is not the agency responsible for conducting prioritization efforts - that is the responsility
of MPO/RTPOs. This is their MAIN job!
I'd suggest your staff, elected officials, MPO/RTPO, and WSDOT figure it out. I'm told that
operating in a manner of non-compliance can ultimately result in a reduction of funds directed
to the region. Nobody wants this - but I do intend on shedding light on the aspect of
compliance in this area until I am heard. You might ask why I so set on this - Well, it's because
the BFCG Board Chair alleged mismanagement of funds of me. A complete lie and fabrication,
set to deflect attention away from a personal vend etta and unsupported termination. As they
won't correct it, I'll correct them.
Consult RCW related to formation of RTPOs and the references to RTPO law. Is there anywhere
in there that allows additional MPOs to be formed. Separate RTPOs? GRTA holds exactly zero
authority on anything. Most GRTA chapters folded back in the 70s - but not in our region! The
prioritization efforts out of BFWW GRTA and the participation of WSDOT and local elected
officials runs counter to the very idea of MPO/RTPO guidance. ......And, the elected officials
know so. WSDOT does also. So do the other MPO/RTPO Directors.
Being in the wrong lane is a bad place to be, Maria. Talk to Erin, WSDOT, and correct things.
You do serve as TAC Chair, don't you? Be better than Roscoe - and carry the duty with
integrity. Learn the rules - do the job. Don't become another pawn for this group of elected
officials.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council April 22, 2026
TO: Harold Stewart, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 5/18/26
FROM: Haylie Matson, Director
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Public Hearing & Ordinance No. 4841 - Special Event Code
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Proposed Ordinance Special Events, Assemblies and Sales
PowerPoint
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 4841, amending Title 5, Business
Licenses and Regulations to Implement the Pasco Downtown Master Plan by
expanding opportunities for community events and sales throughout the City;
providing for severability and establishing an effective date.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Streamlining the event permit process is anticipated to have a positive effect on
the Community and Economic Development Budget at the same time as
decreasing the amount of effort and expense event organizers expend
organizing, hosting and obtaining permits for special events and sales.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
SUMMARY OF CHANGES TO THE SPECIAL EVENT CODE SINCE THE
MAY 11TH CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING:
Changes made since the May 11th meeting based on written and verbal
feedback from Council include:
1. Staff will provide a check-in after six months to review how the code is
being used and discuss timelines with the City Council. Changes, if any,
will be suggested as needed. Please note the code, as written, allows
for ongoing permits for recurring events if the applicant can demonstrate
successful event management and compliance with all requirements.
Page 123 of 202
2. The Sidewalk Displays and Sales permit requirements were included in
the May 11th ordinance version, and the review timeline remains at 15
days prior to the event. Assuming the application is complete, this
timeline is achievable.
3. Mixed feedback was provided by Council related to the reference to
cultural/political sensitivity in the Event Risk Factor Scoring Matrix.
Previously, one of the risk factors listed in PMC 5.35.070 Table was
called “Cultural/Political Sensitivity,” with the following description: “Does
the event involve matters that may draw public protest or controversy?”
The table has been revised to identify the risk factor as “Public Interest
Level,” with a new description stating: “Is the event likely to generate
significant public response, traffic, or coordinated gatherings?” This
revision keeps the matrix focused on measurable operational impacts
rather than the content or viewpoint of the event itself.
4. Site plan requirements were not adjusted, as a special event permit is
not required in most situations for events with fewer than 100 attendees.
Staff may also administratively waive the site plan requirement if it is not
warranted based on the application.
5. Insurance requirements remain unchanged, as advised by legal counsel
and the City’s insurance provider.
6. The security matrix was not revised to further justify police oversight, as
it is intended to serve as guidance. Any deviations by the Police
Department will be documented as conditions of approval for the special
event application.
7. The department approval process was not modified in code. As part of
the administrative review process, departments that do not need to
review the permit will be removed from the review routing based on the
application submitted. This is standard practice for all permits.
8. Multiple permits will not be required for a single event. Applicants will
submit one application containing all applicable requirements related to
the specific event type.
9. Permit fees were not adjusted, as staff believes the fees identified in the
code are already highly subsidized.
10. Event classifications identifying low, moderate, and high impact levels
were not included. In general, events with 100 or fewer attendees will
not require a permit, while events with 100 or more attendees will
require a permit. Staff will administratively adjust the review process to
be less intensive for lower-impact events. This matter can be revisited
during the six-month code review.
11. Yard sale permits are being removed from the code as a requirement for
yard sales.
12. Administrative authority for alcohol use waivers will remain with the CED
Director as identified in the code. As part of the administrative process,
the CED Director will consult with the City Manager’s Office, Parks
Department, and/or Police Department, as applicable, and will not make
these decisions independently as a best practice.
Page 124 of 202
13. The appeals process will remain directed to the City Manager, as
advised by the majority of Council on May 11th.
14. Police recovery fees will be based on the current cost of service as
determined by the Police Department, including hourly rates and
required service levels. Staff did not include specific police fees in the
code because costs vary significantly depending on the type of event.
Applicable fees identified during the review process will be discussed
with the applicant prior to permit issuance to ensure transparency.
Background
During the Downtown Master Planning process, significant feedback was
received regarding the cumbersome and confusing nature of the Special Event
permit process. In response, the city continued its partnership with Framework
Cultural Placemaking to audit Title 5 codes, permit processes, and potential
code amendments related to Special Events and sales activities.
On August 25, 2025, the Community & Economic Development Department
presented an overview to City Council outlining the goals of the update and key
findings from the initial code audit. City Council provided feedback and
direction to staff at that time. An outreach event was held on February 17th and
applicable suggestions related to the outreach have been incorporated into the
draft ordinance.
This effort is intended to modernize and simplify the City’s Special Event and
sales-related permitting processes while maintaining appropriate safety
on focus updates The proposed administrative and standards oversight.
making the process clearer, predictable, and user-friendly for applicants and
staff, while supporting vibrant community events and economic activity.
Special Event Code Audit Process:
The consultant and City team completed the following work:
Overall review of Title 5 – Business Licenses and Regulations to
evaluate clarity, organization, and compatibility with project goals
Interviews with representatives from the Police Department, Parks
Department, Business Licensing Division, and HAPO Center
Precedent study evaluating how other Tri-Cities jurisdictions manage
Special Events
Presentation to and feedback from City Council (August 25, 2025)
Presentation to past and frequent special event hosts and public on
February 17, 2026 to solicit feedback on draft Ordinance
The outcome of the audit guided the development of the draft code
amendments presented with this report.
Primary improvements include:
Page 125 of 202
Establishing clear thresholds for when Special Event permits are
required
Eliminating or consolidating permits that were redundant or unnecessary
Creating an Event Risk Factor Scoring Matrix to provide objective
security recommendations based on event size, activities, alcohol
service, and other risk factors
Clarifying rules for street closures and neighborhood block parties
Streamlining the permit review process to reduce turnaround time
Simplifying Temporary Sales Event and sidewalk-sales permitting
February 17th outreach event yielded good questions from the public
and we received generally positive feedback on the draft Ordinance
Impact (other than fiscal):
Providing a clearer and more predictable framework for organizing events is
expected to encourage more community events and cultural activities, support
economic development opportunities for local businesses and vendors, and
reduce confusion and administrative burden for both applicants and staff. The
proposed updates will also help maintain consistent safety expectations for
public gatherings. Overall, these changes are intended to make events easier
to organize, easier to administer, and safer for participants, while supporting
the Downtown Master Plan goal of increasing activity and vibrancy in Pasco.
V. DISCUSSION:
Recommendation:
Staff recommend that the City Council review and adopt the attached
Ordinance as presented.
Constraints (time or other consideration):
Adoption of the Ordinance in a timely fashion is desired to help streamline the
Special Event permit process, encouraging and promoting the upcoming
summer event season.
Next Steps:
The City Clerk’s Office will record it with the Franklin County Auditor and
coordinate with General Code to ensure the updated code is published and
effective on the adoption date.
Alternatives:
The City Council may elect to forgo special event permit amendments or direct
staff to consider alternative approaches to enhance special events and sales in
the City of Pasco.

5.35.180 Street and intersection closures.
5.35.010 Finding and purpose. Intent
The City finds that to preserve each citizen’s right of free speech and assembly, in both public and private
places, the coordination of the City services is necessary to maintain the safety of the persons and properties of
the participants and those electing not to participate in the event, and to provide continued municipal services
for the benefit of all the citizens of the City, minimal regulations are necessary to provide for the coordination
of essential municipal services. These regulations are established for the purpose of regulating those events
which are intended to draw large numbers of people, involve use of public facilities and to establish a fee
required to defray the costs of assuring the public health and safety. [Ord. 3524 § 4, 2001; Code 1970 § 5.25.005.]
Special events are opportunities for Pasco residents and visitors to gather, learn, enjoy entertainment, and
exchange ideas and they are seen as a positive contribution to Pasco’s culture and public realm. Large events,
those with high risk, and those that substantially alter the use of public space necessitate City services to
maintain safety for attendees and to prevent unreasonable inconvenience for those who choose not to attend
but are impacted by the event. These regulations are established for the purpose of regulating those events
which are intended to draw large numbers of people, involve use of public facilities, or involve use of
buildings outside of their established occupancy use and establish a fee required to defray the costs of assuring
the public health and safety.

(1) Intent
Page 133 of 202
Temporarily closing roads to vehicular traffic can free up space for many types of gatherings including
markets, athletic events, neighborhood block parties, and car shows. The city encourages these uses of public
streets and must also ensure that these events do not pose safety risks or cause unreasonable inconvenience for
other residents. The City offers two types of permits that allow for the temporary closure of roads to vehicular
traffic: Neighborhood Block Party Permits and Street Festival Permits.
A Neighborhood Block Party Permit is intended for residential gatherings that bring together friends and
neighborhoods on their shared block. These permits are available for events that meet a stricter set of criteria
compared to Street Festival Permits.
Street Festival Permits are intended for events such as markets, athletic events, concerts, or car shows. They
may last more than one calendar day, may be ticketed and closed to the public, and can take place in

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council April 29, 2026
TO: Harold Stewart, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 5/18/26
FROM: Haylie Matson, Director
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 4842 – Amending the 2025–2026 Biennial Operating
Budget to Support Temporary Code Enforcement for Street Vendor
Compliance
I. ATTACHMENT(S):
Scenario 1 - Proposed Ordinance 1
Scenario 2 - Proposed Ordinance 2
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
If additional enforcement is desired, the City Council is asked to advise which
2025–2026 Operating Budget scenario should be utilized to authorize funding
for temporary code enforcement staffing dedicated to street vendor compliance
and enforcement. A corresponding ordinance is provided for each scenario for
Council’s consideration and approval.
Motion (Scenario 1): I move to approve, Ordinance No. 4842, amending the
2025–2026 biennial operating budget, adopted by Ordinance No. 4842, by
providing a supplement thereto; providing additional appropriation in the City’s
general fund; providing for severability; and establishing an effective date and
further authorize publication by summary only.
OR:
Motion (Scenario 2): I move to approve, Ordinance No.4842, amending the
2025–2026 biennial operating budget, adopted by Ordinance No. 4842, by
providing a supplement thereto; providing additional appropriation in the City’s
general fund; providing for severability; and establishing an effective date and
further authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
This budget amendment appropriates funds to contract temporary code
enforcement staff through a staffing agency. Because the current department
Page 180 of 202
budget does not have sufficient capacity to absorb this additional cost, the
amendment draws from General Fund reserves to cover the expense.
Based on current billing data, the effective rate is approximately $34/hour
(e.g., $1,360 for 40 hours)

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Background
The City of Pasco has experienced an increase in unpermitted and non-
compliant street vending activity, particularly during evening hours and
weekends when activity is at its highest. At the same time, Code Enforcement
staff are operating with limited capacity due to existing workload demands and
current staffing levels. As a result, enforcement efforts are primarily complaint-
driven rather than proactive, and staff have limited ability to conduct regular
patrols focused on vendor compliance; complaints are prioritized to address life
and safety issues first. This has allowed illegal vending activity to persist,
creating and traffic concerns, public health issues of range a including
pedestrian safety impacts, and unfair competition for permitted businesses
operating in compliance with City regulations.
To address these challenges, staff evaluated temporary staffing options as a
targeted and flexible approach to increase enforcement presence. A temporary
employee request was developed to support this effort, outlining duties that
include field outreach and education to vendors, active enforcement of illegal
vending regulations, coordination with existing Code Enforcement staff, and the
use of City-provided equipment such as a vehicle and iPad to perform field-
based work efficiently. This approach is intended to supplement existing staff
resources current to effectively more respond the City allowing while to
conditions.
Impact (other than fiscal)
This effort is expected to increase compliance with municipal codes, improve
traffic and pedestrian safety, and create a more level playing field for licensed
vendors and businesses. It will also help reinforce consistent enforcement,
improving community perception and trust. Just as importantly, it allows the
Page 181 of 202
City to get ahead of the issue now, before it continues to grow and becomes
more difficult and resource-intensive to manage over time.
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed funding would support a targeted enforcement effort in high-
activity vendor areas, primarily during evenings and weekends. The intent is to
balance address and improve compliance enforcement with education to
ongoing issues.
Using temporary staffing allows us to move quickly, adjust as needed, and pilot
this approach before making any long-term decisions.
education, into transition outreach and start would approach The with
enforcement focused on repeat violations, and then focus on peak times and
known problem areas.
Overall, this is expected to improve safety and access in the right-of-way,
support compliant businesses, reduce complaints, and create a more visible
City presence.
Recommendation
Staff requests direction on this matter. If the City Council desires additional
enforcement related to vendors, please select a preferred scenario and the
corresponding ordinance for consideration and approval at the May 18 regular
meeting.
Constraints (time or other considerations)
Immediate need due to seasonal increase in vendor activity
Recruitment and onboarding timelines for temporary staff
Coordination with Police Department and other City divisions
Next Steps:
Upon Council approval, staff will execute an agreement with a staffing agency,
initiate track areas, priority to hiring deploy onboarding, and personnel
enforcement activity and outcomes, and provide a follow-up report to Council.
Alternatives
Do not approve: Continue with the current limited enforcement capacity.
Delay action: May result in increased illegal activity during the peak
season.
Fund permanent positions instead: Requires a longer hiring timeline and
higher long-term costs.
Fund an alternative amount: Allows flexibility to align funding with
Page 182 of 202
temporary staffing needs.
