2. Proposed Ordinance authorizing real property condemnation
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
4/25: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. authorizing condemnation of
certain real property necessary for the construction of the Ainsworth Railroad Overpass
Project.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
To be determined through negotiation or judicial determination; adequate funds available in the
project budget.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City and Port have been cooperatively pursuing construction of the Ainsworth
Railroad Overpass project for the past eight years, since its original inception in the mid-
1990s. Full funding for the project was not available until last year, when the City and
Port successfully sought funds through the state legislature. As a result of the
legislature's action in 2004, full project funding was secured and right:-of-way action
was initiated.
B) The right-of-way acquisition process, managed by the state of Washington on behalf of
the City and Port, has assembled nearly all of the parcels necessary to provide the right-
of-way for the project. The only parcel in which the state and owner appear to be unable
to reach agreement is the "Rodriguez" auto body shop ("Ainsworth Collision Center")
generally located on South 5th Avenue (legally described in the proposed ordinance and
illustrated in the attached map). The Rodriguez parcel is essential for the project, as the
project cannot be redesigned to avoid acquisition of the parcel.
C) Due to the fact that the bulk of the project funds are represented in last year's state
budget allocation, it is imperative that the project be under contract by the end of June
(end of the state fiscal year). Failure to do so could allow the state to reallocate some or
all of the project funds presently allocated for the Ainsworth project. Such a change
would effectively put the project"back on the shelf'until adequate funds were available
again. Thus, it is imperative that the Rodriguez property be acquired immediately to
permit the bidding process to commence so that a contract can be awarded by the end of
June.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The state right-of-way agents have spent the better part of the past year attempting to
negotiate a reasonable acquisition figure for the Rodriguez property, to no avail. Rather
than risk the loss of project funds after June 30, it is recommended that Council
authorize condemnation of the Rodriguez property to be initiated. Doing so will permit
the city to seek immediate possession of the property for bidding and construction
purposes while.continuing to negotiate an appropriate settlement with Mr. Rodriguez.
Should the negotiations effort ultimately fail, Franklin County Superior Court will
determine the appropriate compensation.
B) Staff recommends. favorable Council action on the ordinance, to include: declaration of
an emergency (within the ordinance) so that the ordinance is effective upon passage.
The city attorney intends to file appropriate petition for condemnation in Superior Court
Tuesday, April 26.

I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Draft Pasco Drought and Water Shortage Response Plan
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
04125: Discussion and direction to staff for final content of plan.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On April 4, 2005, Council approved Resolution No. 2872 adopting the City Water
Management Plan which includes a recommendation to prepare a City Emergency
and Drought Response Plan.
The proposed Drought and Water Shortage Response Plan addresses how to
respond to different levels of a potential or real water shortage. A water shortage
could be by means of a drought, low flows from the Columbia River or failure
within the water system itself, such as pump problems at the raw water pump
station.
The proposed plan has four alert levels starting with voluntary reductions of water
use (alert level 1), to mandatory restrictions and increased rates as the highest
level (alert level 4). The intent is to curtail water use with progressive restrictions.
Staff will provide a presentation of the different alert levels in the plan. Council
should provide direction as to the content of the final plan.

Il. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
04125: Discussion
05/02: MOTION: I move to approve the authorization of contract work for
aerial photography services with Walker and Associates not to exceed
$125,000 and, further, to authorize the City Manager to include the cost in
the year end budget supplement.
Ill. FISCAL IMPACT:
Utility Fund (Sewer)
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Authorization to conduct contract work is proposed for aerial photography and
photogrammetric (digital topographic and orthophoto mapping) services with
Walker and Associates. These services are considered necessary for providing
topographic elevations in target areas for better plan layout of future sewer lines
without having to do detailed surveying in the planning stages. The maps would
be to a scale of 1" = 100' with 2 foot contour elevations.
Aerial photography services will cover areas of approximately 5,800 acres. Aerial
mapping will include two areas: (1) near the SR 12 & Lewis Street interchange,
and(2) by the West Pasco area south of the Franklin County irrigation District
canal and west of Road 36 towards the I-182 bridge.
Services performed under an agreement would not exceed $125,000. Staff
recommends approval for the City Manager to negotiate and execute an agreement
for aerial photography services with Walker and Associates, and to include the
cost in the year end budget supplement.
