10/23 Discussion
11/6 MOTION: I move to approve the 50% cost sharing interlocal agreement with
Franklin County for co- sponsorship of the 2007 Grand Old 4 °i Celebration
provided the city's share shall not exceed $80,000 and, further, authorize
the Mayor to sign the agreement.
IIL FISCAL IMPACT:
$80,000 gross; estimated net effective cost less than $15,000
IV. IIISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City has co- sponsored with Franklin County the expanded Grand Old 4 °i
Celebration at TRAC each of the past two years (2005 and 2006). The expanded
version of the celebration provided a four -day event over the July 4 holiday, rather
than the one -day celebration traditionally sponsored solely by the City (the City's
cost for its previous one -day event was about $20,000 — most of that expense being
for fireworks). The purpose of expanding the event was not only to provide a larger
community celebration for benefit of the residents, but also to generate additional
use of (and revenue for) the TRAC facility.
B) The 2005 celebration experienced a net operating loss of about $100,000, while the
2006 event did only slightly better — losing about $90,000. Both figures are split
between the City and County (thus, the City spent about $50,000 in 2005 and
$45,000 in 2006). However, the real effect of those expenditures is reduced by the
fact that TRAC received about $30,000 each year (reducing the shared loss by
$15,000 each). In addition, the City's share is further reduced by the fact the event
expenses included the July 4 °i fireworks show, representing another $15,000; thus,
the City's net additional expense, after all considerations, approximated $15,000.
C) Franklin County acknowledges that the expanded four -day event simply has not
succeeded as planned and now proposes to reduce it to 2.5 days (Friday evening
through Sunday evening) prior to the July 4a' celebration (see letter from Franklin
County Administrator).
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Staff concurs that the four -day event has not "caught on" with the community. The
concerts, however, have been fairly successful and represent a strong potential for
TRAC operations. To that end, continued partnership in the event may be warranted.
B) Inasmuch as the 2007 proposal includes the July 4 °i fireworks expenditure and,
overall, should experience lower costs, the net effective cost to Pasco should be less
than $15,000. Thus, staff recommends Council approval.

SUBJECT: North 4th Avenue Corridor Enhancements — Resolution for
Sidewalk Assessment
I. REFERENCE(S):
A. Vicinity Map
B. Resolution #2985
C. Proposed Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL /STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Conduct Public Hearing:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. affirming
Resolution No. 2985 providing for the construction of
sidewalk improvements on a portion of North 41h Avenue and
providing for the assessment of a portion of the cost of such
improvements.
III. FISCAL IMPACT
Approximately $428,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. The portion of North 411, Avenue between Sylvester Street and the I-
182 Interchange is a major thoroughfare into the community.
Portions of the corridor lack sidewalks, thus hindering safe
pedestrian travel along the Avenue..
B. The City and Chamber of Commerce collaborated several years ago
to identify a "Corridor Improvement Plan ". The Plan identifies six
major entrance corridors into the City. The North 411, Avenue
Corridor is one of those major entranceways. The Plan calls for
each of the entranceways to undergo substantial improvements to
include sidewalks, landscaping, and street trees. The
recommended plan for North 411, Avenue generally extends the
development concept of sidewalk, grass and street trees utilized on
both East and West Lewis Streets.
C. Conceptual sidewalk and landscape plans were developed and
meetings with adjacent property owners were conducted on
November 22, 2005, December 13, 2005, and April 4, 2006 to
explain both the project and the process to the property owners.
The plans were revised to incorporate many of the comments
generated during these meetings.
D. The City of Pasco has signed right -of -way encroachment
agreements with three property owners allowing them to use
portions of the right -of -way for customer parking. These
agreements were negotiated by City staff as a response to
preexisting conditions associated with the properties and will have
minimal impact on the enhancement plan.
7(a)
E. RCW 35.68 authorizes the City to install the curb, gutter, and
sidewalk and assess the adjacent property owners, provided the
appropriate process is used. Resolution No. 2985, approved by the
City Council on September 25, 2006 initiated the process
necessary to carry out the assessments. The process requires the
conduct of a public hearing to determine whether to proceed with
the project and to define the costs to be assessed. All owners of
property adjacent to the corridor and subject to the proposed
assessment have been notified by direct mail. Notice of this
hearing was also published twice as required by law.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. The North 411, Avenue Corridor between Sylvester Street and the
I -182 Interchange needs a completed sidewalk system in order to
accommodate safe and effective pedestrian movement. The
installation of sidewalks is now the responsibility of adjacent
property owners. Some of the properties on North 411, Avenue
however were developed without being required to install
sidewalks.
B. The estimated cost of installing sidewalk is $15.00 to $20.00 per
lineal foot. The proposed assessment would not exceed $10.00 per
lineal foot. This is the same cap that was used for East & West
Lewis Street sidewalk assessments.
C. Staff has met with owners of property along the corridor on several
occasions over the course of the past several months to discuss
both the design and financing of the project. The property owners
were advised that the City would likely use the assessment method
of recovering a portion of the sidewalk cost, as that is a normal
responsibility of adjacent property owners; staff further
conditioned that expectation by limiting the collective assessments
for sidewalk to $10 per linear foot, similar to the assessment
process utilized on both East and West Lewis Streets.
D. With City Council approval in the form of the attached Resolution,
the project may proceed to the design phase with sidewalk
construction scheduled for 2007.

Bonds and the 2002 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds.
Motion: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , preserving property tax levy
capacity for fiscal years afler 2007 in accordance with state law.
III. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The maximum allowed levy rate, per state statute, that a City can levy per $1,000 of assessed
value is $3.60. The last time the City of Paso's levy rate was at that level was in 1992.
From 1992 to 1999 the City reduced the levy rate by not taking any of the allowable percentage
increase, which before 2002 was 6 %, and preserved the unused levy capacity in case it were
needed in the future.
In November 1999, the voters approved Initiative 695 which eventually was ruled
unconstitutional. The legislature, however, reduced the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) to
$30 per vehicle, which they determined to be the voter's intent of the initiative. To compensate
for the loss of future MVET revenues, Council elected to use $450,000 of unused, preserved,
levy capacity. The levy rate for 2000 taxes was set at $3.071 per $1,000 of assessed value, still
well below the $3.60 maximum.
In 2001 the voters approved Initiative 747, limiting the amount taxing districts can raise property
taxes over the previous year by the lesser of 1% or the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD); without a
vote of the people. IPD for the 2007 calculation is 3.419 % (July 2006) IPD is a national
inflation index. Pasco's bargaining unions typically include wage increases tied to the West
Coast (Seattle /Tacoma Area) Consumer Price Index (CPI). CPI for the year ending July 2006 is
3.5 %.
During 2006, Initiative 747 was challenged and declared unconstitutional by the King County
Superior Court. hi August the Attorney General submitted a "Motion for Stipulated Order
Staying Judgment Pending Appeal" to the Washington State Supreme Court. The Supreme
Court Commissioner signed the "Stay ". With that in place, property tax levies continue to be
limited to 1% growth plus new construction. It is assumed that the appeal will be heard by the
Supreme Court early in 2007.
The 2007 Preliminary Budget has been prepared using the 1% limit.
7(b)
IV
Despite the above challenges the City Council have been good stewards of taxpayer dollars. The
current general property tax levy rate of $2.3912 per $1,000 of assessed value is indicative of that
sound financial stewardship. The 2006 rate is 66% of the maximum rate allowable and is 22%
lower than the $3. 071 rate set in 2000.
Pasco has enjoyed the effects of continued growth within the city limits. A steady revenue
stream has also helped to keep property taxes well below the $3.60 maximum.
The property tax levy for 2007 will be comprised of the following three elements:
1. General Property Tax Levy.
2. 1999 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Fire Station/Library Bonds Debt Service.
3. 2002 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Refunding (1993) Bonds Debt Service.
The City is directed to certify property tax levies with the county by November 30 of each year.
DISCUSSION:
The Franklin County Assessor has provided an assessed valuation (preliminary figure) of
$2,314,634,072 which is used to calculate 2007 taxes. This amount includes new construction of
$188,612,000. There were no annexations of property before the cutoff date of March 31". The
County Assessor's Office did re- assess a portion of the properties within City limits (east of 201"
Avenue) this year. Those properties increased in assessed value by $138,026,601. Excluding
new construction, this calculates to an overall increase in assessed value from the previous year
of 6.94 %.
The Franklin County Assessor uses a four year rotation to assess all real property in the County.
No portion of the City will be re- assessed in 2007 for 2008 taxes. The next re- assessment for the
property within City limits (west of 20"' Avenue) will take place in 2008 for taxes in 2009.
GENERAL PROPERTY TAX LEVY
The estimated property tax levy used in the Preliminary 2007 Budget is $5,205,000.
The Council has various options to setting the 2007 General Property Tax Levy. Following are
several of those options.
Option 1:
The following figures are from numbers provided by the Franklin County Assessor, adding the
1% increase and adding the value of new construction and annexations at last year's rate and
adding those numbers to last year's total levy.
2006 Total General Property Tax Levy $4,752,886
I% increase in the levy rate based on the allowable
maximum levy 58,972
New Construction Values of $188,612,000
at the 2006 rate of $2.3912/$1,000 Assessed Value 451,859
Annexation Values of $0
at the 2006 rate of $2.3912/$1,000 Assessed Value 0
Increase in the State Assessed Utilities of $0
at the 2006 rate of $2.3912/$1,000 Assessed Value 0
$5,263,717
A 2007 General Levy of $5,263,717 using the assessed value of $2,314,634,072 calculates to a
levy rate of $2.2741 per $1,000 of assessed value. This is about 12 cents less than the 2006 levy
rate of $2.3912.
Option 2:
By not including any of the 1% increase as shown in Option 1, but including the tax resulting
from new construction, the actual levy rate for 2007 will reduce to $2.2487 per $1,000 of
assessed value. The 2007 General Property Tax Levy would be $5,204,745. This option was
used in setting the 2006 levy.
Option 3:
Last year the Council elected to preserve its excess levy capacity. This is the property taxes the
City did not levy but had the legal authority to do so. The amount preserved in last year's
preservation ordinance was $1,144,324.
If the City were to levy all of the tax available in Option 1 and choose to levy all the preserved
levy capacity, the General Levy would increase to $6,408,041. The levy rate would calculate to
$2.7685, still well below the maximum rate allowed, per state statute, of $3.60. Any or all of the
Preserved Capacity could legally be levied but would need a supermajority vote of the Council.
Preserved levy capacity, also referred to as "banked" levy capacity, is not money in a bank
account. It is merely monies left in the pockets of the taxpayers. The purpose of RCW
84.55.092 allowing a governmental entity to preserve future levy capacity is to "remove the
incentive for a taxing district to maintain its tax levy at the maximum level permitted under this
chapter, and to protect the future levy capacity of a taxing district that reduces its tax levy below
the level that it otherwise could impose under this chapter, by removing the adverse
consequences to future levy capacities resulting from such levy reductions." In plain English this
means if the tax is not needed, a City does not have to set the levy at the maximum amount. The
City can reserve that resource for future use. Preserving any unused levy capacity also requires a
supermajority vote.
1999 UNLIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND DEBT SERVICE
The 2006 debt service requirement for the 1999 UTGO Bonds issued for the purpose of the
Library Remodel and Fire Station Relocation is $75,088 and $95,112, respectively. Staff
recommends the 1999 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Bond tax levy be set at those amounts.
The two numbers are not combined because they appeared on the official ballot separately when
voted upon. The county assessor's office requires we set these levies separately. The estimated
assessed value for properties subject to the tax (preliminary figure) is $2,048,231,625; this will
result in levy rates of $0.0367 and $0.0464, respectively, or a combined levy rate of $0.0831.
2006's levy rates were $0.0442 and $0.0560, respectively, or $0.1002 combined. The schedule
of payments calls for principal payments of $100,000 each year for the remaining 13 years. This
should reflect in decreased levy rates for the remaining payment schedule as the interest portion
declines.
2002 UNLIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS
The 2002 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds were issued to refund the 1993
General Obligation Bonds to take advantage of lower interest rates available and save the
taxpayer's money. The debt service requirements in 2007 for the 2002 UTGO Refunding Bonds
is $381,288 and staff recommends the 2002 Unlimited General Obligation Refunding Bonds tax
levy rate be set at that dollar amount. The estimated assessed value for properties subject to the
tax (preliminary figure) is $1,830,883,710. This equates to a levy rate of $0.2083 per $1,000 of
assessed value. This is down from the 2006 levy rate of $0.2500. Unlike the 1999 Bonds, the
principal payment amounts will increase over the remaining life of these bonds but the interest
portion will decrease keeping the annual payments at approximately $380,000.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. On June 15, 2006 the Planning Commission conducted a public
hearing to consider an application for the proposed First Place subdivision.
The First Place development is a proposed 313 -lot subdivision located west
of Road 44 and south of the Desert Plateau neighborhood.
B. Following the conduct of a public hearing, the Planning Commission
determined that with conditions related to sewer service 'and other
infrastructure needs the preliminary plat could be recommended for
approval.
C. Adjoining property owners appealed the Planning Commission
recommendation. The appeal required the City Council to set a time and
date for a Closed Record Hearing to consider the appeal. November 6, 2006
was the date set for the Closed Record Hearing.
V. DISCUSSION:
The appellants raised four concerns they felt needed further review by the
City Council before the preliminary plat was approved. These concerns
dealt with the issue of dust control, the application of CC&R's (covenants)
to all phases of the subdivision, school impact fees, and the redesign of the
roundabout proposed for Road 44.
The Staff memo under attachment "A" provides additional discussion on
the four neighborhood concerns. The issues dealing with dust control and
CC&,R's can be addressed by modifying the plat approval conditions.
However, the City Attorney has advised staff the issue related to school
impact fees can not be added to approval conditions. Further, the City
Attorney advises the fourth issue dealing with the roundabout must be
consider new information (this information was not made available to the
Planning Commission) and therefore should not be considered by the City
Council. Even if the Council could consider the redesigned roundabout
Staff would not recommended it be included in the approval conditions
because the redesign is not based on sound engineering principles and
could lead to increased traffic accidents.
Following review of the record the City Council must develop findings from
which to base a decision on. The Planning Commission adopted an
extensive list of findings that addressed State Law, City Code and various
issues raised by adjoining neighbors. In as- much -as the appellants have
based their appeal only on a few plat approval conditions it appears the
Planning Commission accurately identified the facts in this case. The City
Council may simply choose to adopt the Planning Commission findings
(modified as deemed necessary) as a basis to approved the preliminary plat
with minor modifications to clarify certain conditions.
Staff recommends the City Council approve Resolution "A" which clarifies
condition numbers 21 and 26.

MEMORANDUM

City of Pasco
FROM: Leland B. Kerr
Attorney at Law
DATE: September 22, 2006
RE: Impound Ordinance
r
As I indicated in my previous memo, circumstances have arisen providing an opportunity to
review our impound hearing ordinance and procedure. In addition to the concerns previously
raised, this gives us an opportunity to likewise make some changes that were recently mandated
by the Washington Supreme Court and Court of Appeals.
As you recall, in 1998, the legislature changed the law in regards to impounds for violations of
driving while license suspended. It provided a mandatory hold period of 30 to 90 days
depending upon the nature of the driving while license suspended conviction. As a result, the
City amended its ordinance to come into compliance with both the new State law and the
procedures established by the Washington State Patrol under the Washington Administrative
Code.
This construed that the hold period is mandatory, however, the Supreme Court in 2002 ruled in
All Around Underground, Inc. vs. The Washington State Patrol, 148 Wn.2d 145, that the
legislative direction was permissive rather than mandatory and, therefore, made the impound a
matter of discretion. The statute, however, did not identify the factor for consideration in
utilizing this discretion and as a result, the State Patrol's procedures were validated.
In 2003, a similar case was presented to the Washington Court of Appeals in Becerra vs. City of
Warden, 117 Wn.App. 510, which invalidated the City of Warden's mandatory impound
ordinance which is virtually the same as the ordinance adopted by the City of Pasco.
Partially as a result of these cases, and the fact that the legislature has amended the impound
procedures four times since the City's enactment of this ordinance, this provided the perfect
opportunity to address all of these issues.

As indicated in my previous memo, the amendment of RCW 46.55.113 has resulted in some
inconsistencies with our ordinance (10.18.010) in regards to the authority of police officers to
impound vehicles. The attached draft provides authority consistent with that statute and the
recent cases. It identifies the procedure for summary impound of vehicles involved in alcohol
and driving while license suspended arrests. It then provides for a discretionary impound of
vehicles involved in various other types of violations or safety hazards, likewise, bringing the
City's ordinance in compliance with the most recent State statutes.
This ordinance also makes changes to the hearing procedure, including the period of appeal to
likewise come into compliance with the present State statutes.
We have also made the changes to reflect the incorporation of the impound hearings under the
authority of the Hearing Examiner as provided in Section 2.19 of the Pasco Municipal Code.
Additionally, we have made changes to clarify the issue in regards to impounds as a result of
nuisance violations. RCW 46.55.240 identifies the specific elements that must be included in
local ordinances to authorize the impound. Nuisance impounds also require a hearing which we
incorporated as the same process for hearings on other impounds consistent with the statutory
mandate.
In addition, the Hearing Examiner, Doug Chambers, had some suggestions regarding
applications by members of the immediate family for the release of vehicles subject to a DWLS
conviction hold, specific timeframes for the appellate process and a requirement that proof of
financial responsibility must be proven at the time of release of an impounded automobile.
We are providing the draft ordinance in cross - through and underline format to help demonstrate
the differences contained in this proposed ordinance.
I would propose that this draft now be circulated with the Police Department, Municipal Court
and Code Enforcement to determine if there are other suggested changes that should be
incorporated and to revamp our procedures to come into compliance.
If you have any suggestions, questions or comments, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL /STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS•
10/23/06 DISCUSSION
11/06/06 MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. , authorizing
temporary inter -fund loans from the General Fund to the City
Street Fund, the Arterial Street Fund, the Community
Development Block Grant Fund, the Ambulance Service Fund
and the Senior Center Fund in the total amount of
$1,505,794.85, and from the Water /Sewer Utility Fund, to the
ULID 140 Fund, the Equipment Rental Operations and
Maintenance Fund and the LID Construction Fund in the total
amount of $614,745.71.
HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
During the 2005 annual audit by the State Auditor's Office (SAO), the auditor found
several funds where the cash balance in the find was in an overdraft position (negative
balance). The SAO is requiring a temporary loan to each of these funds as of December
31, 2005 to correct this. The interfiund loans will be repaid as of January 1, 2006.
FISCAL IMPACT:
$1,505,794.85 from the General Fund and $614,745.71 from the Water /Sewer Utility
Fund. Note: These loans will be reversed as of January 1, 2006.
DISCUSSION:
An interftmd loan is the only way that the General Fund can recoup moneys paid, or
loaned, to other finds, staff recommends authorizing zero percent loans to each fund due
and payable in one day. Staff will address any such issues towards the end of 2006 to
insure that no fund cash balance ends the year in an overdraft (negative) position.
Prior to the 2005, the State Auditor's Office did not require that all cash line items in
each funds had a positive balance at year end.
This does not mean that the City had been overdrawn at the bank.
OTHER COMMENTS:
The loan from the General Fund is to find those funds that normally have General Fund
financial support. There were outstanding receivables that were not collected by the end
of the year in the City Street Fund. The Arterial Street Fund shortage was caused by the
SR 395 and Argent Ramp Project where the City has now been reimbursed by the Port of
8(c)
Pasco and Columbia Basin College. There were outstanding receivables in the Block
Grant Fund. There were also outstanding receivables in the Ambulance Service Fund and
in the Sr. Center Fund.
The loan from the Water /Sewer Utility Fund is to cover utility related Funds. A small
shortage in the ULID 140 was caused by the payment of ULID bonds and interest that is
paid from the Water /Sewer Fund and monies transferred from the ULID 140 fund.
Historically the negative balance in the LID Construction Fund is rectified when the LID
project is complete. Both outstanding projects are Sewer LID'S. The cash shortage in the
Equipment Rental Maintenance and Operation fiend was caused, for the most part, by
increased gasoline prices and maintenance charges. The Equipment Rental Funds are
designed to be reimbursed by the Funds that operate that equipment the following year.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING INTERFUND LOANS FROM THE
GENERAL FUND TO THE CITY STREET FUND, THE ARTERIAL
STREET FUND, THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT
FUND, THE AMBULANCE SERVICE FUND, AND THE SENIOR

found that it is in the best interest of the City to lend funds from the General Fund to the City

from the development and sale of City land within and immediately adjacent to the

A) Given the City's primary goal of fostering more industrial investment, it would make
sense to place the unused funds into the Industrial Development and Infrastructure

reducing unnecessary accounting responsibilities.
