IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Pasco, along with the cities of Kennewick and Richland, entered into an interlocal
agreement in June 2004 to create a regional "Tourism Promotion Area" (TPA). The
TPA is an organization formed as authorized by recent state law to levy special
assessments for the use of lodging facilities within the respective area. In the case of
the Tri-Cities, all hotels/motels within the boundaries of the three cities are required
to collect from users of their facilities the fee of $1.50 for each room night used.
That fee is remitted by each of the hotels/motels to the state; the state, in turn,
distributes the funding back to the respective cities within which it was collected
(much like the long-standing 2% hotel/motel tax) and the cities distribute it to the
TPA for expenditure in accordance with the business plan and budget established by
the Regional Hotel/Motel Commission.
B) The Regional Hotel/Motel Commission is established under Section . 5 of the
Interlocal Agreement. The Commission consists of six voting members; two
appointed by each of the three cities from nominees offered by the Tri-City Hotel
Lodging Association. Any vacancy is to be filled by the respective city from a list of
nominees offered by the Association.
C) The Commission presently has one vacancy (Troy Woody, former manager of the
Pasco Red Lion, is now the TRAC manager and is no longer eligible to serve on the
Commission); the other Pasco appointee (Vijay Patel, representing AmeriSuites) was
appointed to a one-year term which expired August 31, 2005.
D) The Tri-Cities Hotel Lodging Association, as evidenced by the letters from the
Association President, recommends that Mr. Patel be reappointed for a new;two-year
term, for the reasons outlined in the letter dated August 24. The Association further
recommends (by letter dated August 23) that Mr. Woody's position on the
Commission be filled by Paul Beatty (the new manager of the Pasco Red Lion) who
would fill the term to expire in August of next year.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Given the relative infancy of the TPA Commission and its associated effort, staff
recommends the City Council appoint the individuals as recommended by the Tri-
Cities Hotel Lodging Association, without interview.

Pasco, WA 99301
Dear Mr. Crutchfield:
Thank you for your letter dated August 16, 2005 in which you point out that we are required to
supply the City with at least two candidates for the Council's approval to fill the vacant position
on the TPA Commission,created by the departure of Troy Woody from the hotel industry. At
this time we would like to nominate the following candidates for the Council's consideration to
fulfill the remainder of Mr. Woody's term:
Paul Beatty/Red Lion Pasco: Mr. Beatty is the new General Manager of the Red
Lion Pasco. He has 18 years of experience in the hospitality community and
represents the largest hotel in our community. His appointment was approved
unanimously by the Tri-Cities Hotel & Lodging Association.
Dona Leone/Best Western Pasco Inn& Suites: Ms. Leone has agreed to serve as
a TPA Commissioner in the event that the Pasco City Council does not approve
the Hotel & Lodging Association's recommendation of Mr. Beatty.
It is not the intent of our organization to restrict the number of candidates available for the city's
review; however,with a limited number of active hotels,the provision that only one
representative per company serve at a time and the workload of the General Managers in our
smaller hotels; finding a list of qualified candidates willing to serve can be a challenge.
We appreciate your support of the commission and your attendance at the TPA Commission
meetings as it helps to ensure a balance between each of the cities, the hospitality industry and
how tourism dollars are invested. If you have any additional questions please contact me at 509-
946-7611.
Sincerely,
J Gibson

Mr. Gary Crutchfield
City of Pasco
525 N. 3rd Avenue
Pasco, WA 99301
Dear Mr. Crutchfield:
When the TPA Commission was formed last year it was agreed that in order to prevent all
positions from expiring at the same time each city would have two representatives: one serving a
one-year term and a second representative serving a two-year term. All future appointments are
to be two year terms. As of August 31, 2005 city representatives with one year commitments
will see their terms expire.
At the August 10, 2005 Tri-Cities Hotel& Lodging Association meeting those present voted
unanimously to nominate all three outgoing commissioners for a second term. Those
commissioners are as follows: Jim Gibson(Richland), Bobbie Kelley (Kennewick) and Vijay
Patel (Pasco). It is the Tri-Cities Hotel and Lodging Association's position that these individuals
have only served for one year and given the limited pool of candidates for each city,the
commission and the industry would benefit from consistent leadership at this point in the
development of the commission. Since the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement established in
June of 2004 states in paragraph 5b that "two voting members shall be selected by the Pasco
Council from a list of nominees prepared by the Tri-Cities Hotel&Lodging Association from
Operators of Lodging Businesses within the city limits of Pasco"we offer the following for your
consideration:
Vijay PateUAmeriSuites: Mr. Patel is the preferred candidate for the reasons
listed above for the upcoming vacancy.
Phillip McFee/Tri-Cities Sleep Inn: Mr. McFee has agreed to fill the vacancy in
the event that the City does not approve Vijay Patel's appointment to the
commission.
The Bylaws state that each commissioner can serve no more than two consecutive terms so this
will be the last term for Mr. Patel should he be successfully approved He may serve again
pending a twelve month absence from the commission.
Please submit Vijay Patel as the Tri-Cities Hotel & Lodging Association's recommended
candidate for Pasco's.Tri-City Hotel-Motel Commission representative to the Pasco City Council
for their final approval. If nominated, Mr. Patel's second term would expire on August 30, 2007.
Please contact me directly if I can provide any additional information.
Sincerely,
ICA-
Jim Gibson

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. In June of this year the City Council reviewed a report prepared by
staff dealing cellular phone towers. With the continued increase in
cellular phone use the concern was raised about the visual clutter
additional towers create on the Pasco sky line. At the conclusion of
discussion on the matter the City Council directed the Planning
Commission to study the issue and make a recommendation for
the incorporation of stealth design requirements in the current
regulations.
B. The Planning Commission reviewed the matter during a workshop
July and held a public hearing in August. At the conclusion of the

recommended the attached code amendment for encouraging the
camouflaging of cellular towers.
V. DISCUSSION:

amended to require cellular towers to be constructed using the
best available stealth technologies such that towers are not readily
noticeable by the casual observer. The proposed code also creates
an order of preference for the location of towers. The first
preference being locations on structures higher than 35 feet.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council September 9, 2005
FROM: Gary Crutchfie ��4anager Workshop Mtg.: 9/12/05
SUBJECT: Community SuTey
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Memorandum from Management Assistant dated.9/9/05
I1. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
9/12: Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Approximately$12,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) In the spring of each even-numbered year (2000, 2002, 2004, etc.), the City Council
conducts a goal-setting retreat during which it determines the primary objectives for
the ensuing two calendar years. The retreat process has been used for the past 15
years or so and has been fairly successful in helping to focus the annual work
program to achieve the priorities set by Council.
B) The Council's retreat is always preceded by a community forum (usually in February
or early March) during which concerns, ideas and suggestions are elicited from
citizens. In addition to the forum, staff compiles issues (in the form of proposed city
actions) reflecting concerns previously expressed by citizens. The process has never
included any formal community survey.
C) Staff has researched the possibility of utilizing a standardized survey mechanism to
elicit information from the community in a more formal fashion. The results, if
timed properly, could be useful to the City Council for its retreat process. Please
review the information included in the attached memorandum from Elden Buerkle,
Management Assistant, to understand the survey document and process.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The use of a more formalized survey instrument could prove useful not only for
Council retreat every other year, but also to establish a baseline for "customer
satisfaction levels." Its use can also help to reinforce the notion that customer
service satisfaction is an important element of service delivery responsibilities. It
may also prove useful in implementing the growing trend toward "performance
measurement" in local government. Staff requests Council consideration of this
suggestion and, if desired for use in conjunction with the next Council retreat (spring
2006), Council authorization to initiate the contracting process.

MEMORANDUM
September 9, 2005
TO: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
FROM: Elden Buerkle, Management Assistant
RE: The National Citizen Survey
As we discussed, the National Citizen Survey (NCS), offered by the National Research
Center and the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), looks like
the best option for a Pasco community survey. The basic survey will be mailed to 1,200
randomly selected Pasco households from Boulder, Colorado and then returned for
processing in enclosed, postage paid,business reply envelopes. The number of surveys to
be mailed out (1,200), should produce the approximate 400 responses needed to ensure a
confidence level of 95 percent and accuracy of plus/minus 5 percent.
Here is some information about the survey, costs,.scheduling, etc.:
SURVEY:
The NCS standardized survey instrument consists of five pages of questions designed to
gauge citizen satisfaction with community and government services (sample attached).
There is space for three policy questions on Pasco specific issues. Open ended questions
may be added for an additional charge (below).
Some of the questions deal with services the City of Pasco does not offer. They are:
• 3 questions on bus service;
• 2 questions about library services;
• 1 question about rail/subway services:
Those questions may be deleted from the survey instrument, or it may be possible to
substitute in their place questions more directly related to City of Pasco services. Because
the city helps support the Pasco branch of the Mid-Columbia Library, we might want to
consider retaining the library questions.
COSTS:
Basic Survey: $8,200. This includes developing and printing the survey instrument
(based on the NCS standard survey), mailing the survey to 1,200 randomly selected
Pasco households, postage costs for the completed responses to be mailed back to NCS,
compiling the data,producing reports and comparing Pasco's responses to all those in the
NCS database (about 400).
Community Survey,p.2
Additional Costs:
Spanish Language Survey: $1,400. The cover letter mailed with the survey will include a
paragraph in Spanish asking recipients who desire to complete the survey in Spanish to
call a phone number at the City of Pasco. The city will be responsible for taking those
calls and mailing the Spanish language survey instrument to those who request it.
Included will be a postage paid business reply envelope supplied by NCS for returning.
survey responses. There will be some additional postage cost for the city to mail Spanish
surveys to those who request them.
Open Ended Question: $1,250 for each open ended question. NCS will categorize and
compile responses and develop a report classifying written opinions, along with a
complete report of all verbatim responses.
Custom Norms: $1,000. In addition to comparing Pasco's results to those in the entire
NCS database, comparisons can be developed based on size of city or on region of the
country.
SCHEDULE:
Once the survey process is completed,we will receive three reports in electronic format:
• an executive summary,
• a statistical analysis of survey results,and
• comparison of Pasco"s results with national norms.
Of course, we will receive the additional custom norm report if we decide to go with that
option.
Because we need survey results available to use at the Community Forum (scheduled for
February next year), there are three objectives we are aiming at in terms of scheduling.
One, because surveys results are a snapshot of opinions at a specific point in time, it is
desirable to have the survey completed as close to the Community Forum as possible.
Second, we need to have enough time before the Community Forum to analyze and
review the results and determine how they are to be used. A third objective should be to
ensure the survey does not take place concurrently with the municipal election cycle to
avoid any confusion between the community survey and the election. .
I suggest we go with the survey schedule beginning in October. This will require us to
have the enrollment form and first payment ($4,100) to NCS. by October 3.
.Prenotification cards will be mailed to randomly selected Pasco households the week of
November 14, with surveys mailed to Pasco households over the next two weeks. The
final report will be completed and available the week of January 23, 2006. That should
leave time to analyze and evaluate the results before the Community Forum.
Community Survey,p. 3
CONCLUSION:
If we want to have results of the National Citizen Survey available for the Community
Forum in February 2006, we will need to make a commitment by October 3 to receive the
final report the week of January 23, 2006.
The cost of performing the community survey will be approximately $12,000. This
assumes one open ended question, a custom norm report, a Spanish language option, phis
some additional postage cost for mailing out Spanish language surveys. There will be an
increased cost of$1,250 for each additional open ended question.
