ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , vacating the east/west alley in Block 8, Sylvester Park Addition and, further, to authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A. Franklin County is in the process of making improvements to the County owned parking lot located behind (to the west) Atomic Foods on North Fourth Avenue. To assist with plans of improving parking around the Court House the County is petitioning for the vacation of the east/west alley in Block 8, Sylvester Park Addition. B. December 4, 2006 was the date set to consider the vacation request. V. DISCUSSION: Block 8, of Sylvester Park Addition was originally platted with a north/south alley that intersected the east/west alley that is now in question. The north/south alley was vacated in 1950 causing the east/west alley to become a dead end alley. Generally it is good practice to avoid creating dead end alleys. Vacating the alley would eliminate the dead end situation created in 1950. The vacation request has been reviewed by Cascade Natural Gas, Qwest, Franklin County PUD and the City Public Works Department. The Public Works Department and the PUD have both requested the retention of an easement for the protection of the power and sewer lines that serve the Atomic Foods building. VI.

General Fund Revenues and Expenditures were discussed as well as other operating fund budgets and each department head gave a briefing and answered questions regarding oversight of their respective operating and capital projects budgets. A copy of the 2007 Preliminary Budget document is available for review at the Pasco Public Library. The document is also available for viewing and printing from the City's internet site at www.ci.pasco.wa.us under Pasco Publications. V. DISCUSSION: Several corrections needing to be made to the Operating Budget were discovered at the workshop meeting and several others were discovered at a later time. Those corrections were to position descriptions in a few organizational charts and personnel summaries. Two increases were also made to Capital Outlays in the Non-Departmental section; both are offset by a reduction in Ending Fund Balance. There were also several corrections in the Capital Projects Budget. It was noted at the workshop meeting that the Stadium Improvement for $1,000,000 was not included in the ordinance and was added. Four projects showing an increase in authority were moved to the New Project column per discussions with Public Works. The associated amounts for those projects, Process Water Irrigation Upgrade, Replacement of AC Waterpipe, Water Filtration Plant Improvements and Water Meter Replacement/Cross Connection projects should be considered completed and were removed from the Previous Authority column. The Street Sign Replacement project was removed. Please refer to the Summary of Changes attachment. 7(b) ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE ADOPTING THE CITY OF PASCO OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 2007.

AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council November 29, 2006 TO: Gary Crutch e ty anager Regular Mtg.: 12/4/06 Stan Strebel, m istr tive & Community Services Director FROM: Jim ha Winance Manager SUBJECT: Sewer Rate Reduction I. REFERENCE(S): 1. Proposed Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 12/4 MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , providing for a reduction in the Monthly Sewer Use Base Rates in 2007 and amending Section 3.07.170 of the Pasco Municipal Code entitled "Sewer Use Fees" and, further, to authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed sewer rate adjustment, decreasing the base rates by 10%, would reduce sewer revenues in 2007 by approximately $560,000. A reduction in sewer base rates would also reduce utility tax revenue going into 1) the General Fund by about $42,500, 2) the Street Overlay Fund by about $4,300 and 3)the City Street Fund by about $1,000. IV. HISTORY AND BRIEF FACTS: A) The last water and sewer rate increases were effective at the beginning of 2003 and 2004. The City implemented a 2% increase each year. Those increases were the result of a study completed in 2002 by an outside professional engineering company. The objective of a rate study is to assure that the City's water and sewer utilities are adequately funded, and that rates are fair and equitable to all customers. The utility also has an obligation, per revenue bond covenants, to hold enough cash reserves to cover debt service payments. B) The extraordinary growth of customers in the Water and Sewer Utility Fund has increased revenues into utility fund. The number of sewer customers has risen from about 9,000 in 2003 to just over 12,000 in 2006. A great benefit of that increase has been the associated revenue and the ability of the sewer utility to pay cash for a number of capital improvement projects. The water system incurs additional expenses as a result of the growth, relating to increased water production, pumping and storage costs. The sewer system has a more stable or fixed cost structure. This would suggest a decrease in the sewer rate might be more appropriate than any decrease in the water rates. C) A decrease in the monthly sewer base rate of 10% for each category of customers would be as follows: Current Rate New Rate Reduction of Residential Customers— 1 to 4 units $30.59 $27.53 $3.06 Residential Customer—5 units or more 24.50 22.05 2.45 Sr. Citizen/Low Income Residential 10.20 9.18 1.02 Commercial 40.88 36.79 4.09 Hotel/Motel 6.45 5.80 0.65 D) A decrease in the sewer rate would also suggest a utility rate study should be conducted during 2007 to determine the actual requirements of the various rates of the other utilities in the fund. The utilities included in that rate study would be Water, Sewer, Storm Water and Irrigation. 8(a) ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING A REDUCTION IN THE MONTHLY SEWER USE BASE FEES AND AMENDING CHAPTER 3.07.170 OF THE PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED "SEWER USE FEES". WHEREAS, the fees for municipal sewer service were last adjusted in 2004,based on cost and growth projections developed in the 2002 cost-of-service study; and WHEREAS, the actual growth in number of sewer service customers has greatly exceeded the growth rate projected in the 2002 study; and WHEREAS, the extraordinary growth in customer base is now generating more revenue for the municipal sewer system than is necessary to accommodate all projected operating expenses, capital projects, and debt service coverage factors; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds, after analysis and recommendation of the City Manager, that the monthly municipal sewer use base fees can be reduced by a factor of ten percent (10%) for all classes of customers;NOW,THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Effective January 1, 2007, the monthly amount of the sewer use base fees will decrease by 10% for all classes of customers. Section 2. Section 3.07.170 entitled "Sewer Use Fees" of the Pasco Municipal Code shall be and hereby is amended and shall read as follows: 3.07.170 SEWER USE FEES: A) Residential and Commercial- Fee/Charge Reference Base Fee: Eff^titre Date X93 14,104 1) Residential: a) 1 —4 units—per month 29.99 30.59 27.53 13.40.020 b) 5 and over—per month 24.02 24.50 22.05 13.40.020 c) Outside City 50 % surcharge 13.40.060 d) Consumption None Sr. Citizen/Low Income: a) Single dwelling unit - per month 48:00 10.20 9.18 13.40.050 b) Outside City 50% surcharge 13.40.060 e) Outside Gity o sur-ehar-ge 13.40.060 2) Commercial a) Base Fee-per month 334 495 36.79 13.40.040 b) Consumption- per 100 cubic feet over 1,000 cubic feet 1.29 13.40.040 3) Hotel/Motel: 4-) a) Base Fee: per unit/per month 6-.2-5 6-.4-5 5.80 13.40.030 -2)b) Consumption- per 100 cubic feet over 1,000 cubic feet 1.29 13.40.030 3-)c) Outside City 50% surcharge 13.40.060 4) C`enio,.Tl;...., ufA 1/2 of 2 11�0 regular-base f o Section 3.

Kerr City Clerk City Attorney AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council November 28, 2006 TO: Gary Crutchfi anager Regular Mtg.: 12/4/06 FROM: Lynne Jackson Human Resources Manager SUBJECT: 2007 COLA for Non-Represented Employees I. REFERENCE(S): 1. Proposed Ordinance,Non-Represented Wage Plan. 2. Proposed Ordinance, Management Salary Plan. II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 12/4: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , providing a cost-of-living adjustment in the non-represented wage plan for year 2007 and, further, authorize publication by summary only. MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. providing a cost-of-living adjustment in the management salary plan for year 2007 and, further, authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Estimated fiscal impact of 2.5% cost of living adjustment: • Non-management: $94,300 • Management: $65,500 IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) Those employees not formally represented by a bargaining group and not in the pendency of representation or awaiting negotiations of an initial contract are compensated in accordance with the respective wage plan for non-represented employees. B) The purpose of the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) is to assure maintenance of the purchasing power of the respective wage or salary plans. To do so, the City typically uses the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published for smaller west coast cities. That index is usually referenced in the bargaining unit contracts as well; however, all of the bargaining unit contracts provide a minimum (or floor) for the annual adjustment as well as negotiated annual increases. • Operating Engineers: the 2005 ratified contract for operating engineers allows for a 3.25%annualized increase in 2007. • Police Officers: the recently negotiated (yet to be ratified) contract with police officers allows for a 3.125% annualized increase for 2007. • Police Clerks: the police clerks and specialists will receive a 2% increase for 2007; however, in 2006 this group received a market adjustment of 5%. • Firefighters: the contract for the firefighters (2007-2009) is in bargaining. Firefighters received a 3.7% increase in 2006. C) The Oct/Oct B/C west coast cities CPI rate is 1.5%. V. DISCUSSION: A) Given the non-represented employee groups are experiencing the same cost of living changes as other employee groups, it is recommended they be treated similarly. A COLA of 2.5% represents the midpoint between the police clerks/specialists (2 1/6) and the police and operating engineers bargaining groups, each of which will receive at least 3% for 2007. Staff recommends Council approval. 8(b) ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE CONCERNING WAGES FOR CERTAIN NON-MANAGEMENT, NON-REPRESENTED PERSONNEL FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 2007. WHEREAS, the City Manager has recommended the wage scale for non-represented positions be modified to include a cost-of-living adjustment for calendar year 2007; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the cost-of-living adjustment of 2.5% is appropriate in consideration of the adjustments already committed to other employee groups;NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The wage scale for those non-management positions specified in the attached Exhibit "A", excluding those employees in a pendency of representation or those awaiting negotiations of an initial contract and not represented by a certified bargaining unit, shall be as set forth in Exhibit "A" attached hereto, which Exhibit is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. The City Manager shall designate the appropriate hourly wage step in Exhibit"A" for each employee covered by this Ordinance, considering their time in the position for which they are employed, their current hourly wage, and the evaluation of their performance. Any non-represented employee not in the pendency of representation or awaiting negotiations of an initial contract, whose actual wage or salary on December 31, 2006 exceeds the maximum for the respective grade assigned herein, shall continue to receive said actual wage or salary during calendar year 2007. Section 2. The step increases set forth in Exhibit "A" are dependent upon a satisfactory performance evaluation. If the performance evaluation of an employee demonstrates superior performance and upon recommendation of the Department Director, the City Manager has the discretion to advance an employee an additional pay step over that step otherwise obtainable by a satisfactory performance evaluation. Section 3. The wage scale set forth in Exhibit "A" shall be effective January 1, 2007 and remain in effect until this Ordinance is amended or superseded by subsequent Ordinance. Section 4.

NOTARY PUBLIC in and for the State of Washington Residing at: My Commission Expires: Interlocal Agreement City/WSDOT-6 AGENDA REPORT TO: City Council November 20, 2006 FROM: Gary Crutchfi 1 .0 anager Workshop Mtg.: 11/27/06 Regular Mtg.: 12/4/06 SUBJECT: Visitor Services Contract with the Pasco Chamber of Commerce I. REFERENCE(S): 1. Agreement II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/ STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 11/27 Discussion 12/4 MOTION: I move to approve the agreement for Promotion of Tourism and Economic Development with the Greater Pasco Area Chamber of Commerce and, further, authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement. III. FISCAL IMPACT: $10,000 annually; hotel room tax IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The City has long contracted with the Pasco Chamber of Commerce whereby the Chamber provides a variety of promotional/informational services on the City's behalf. As those services are geared toward visitor traffic, the City has always used hotel room tax revenues to pay the annual fee. B) The Washington State Attorney General's office, earlier this year, issued its opinion that such contracts must pay for services rendered, as opposed to paying for services in advance. The history of the contracts with the Chamber has been to pay in advance (by virtue of calculating the annual figure at the beginning of the year, dividing by two and paying the fixed fee at the beginning of each half of the year). C) The Chamber of Commerce agreement has been redrafted so that it will comply with the Attorney General's opinion. The new contract requires the submission of a quarterly invoice and City payment only after receipt of such invoice; thus, the City payments will be for services rendered, rather than in advance. This is the same kind of change made for the Visitor& Convention Bureau agreement in October. D) In addition to the timing of payments, the annual fee has been increased from $7,500 to $10,000, as recommended by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in September. The committee concluded the adjustment was appropriate given the length of time (in excess of 12 years) since the last adjustment of the contract fee. V. DISCUSSION: A) Given the requirement by the Attorney General's office that the City's payments for such contracts be "in arrears," staff recommends approval of the agreement. 10(b) Agreement for Promotion of Tourism and Economic Development between the City of Pasco and the Greater Pasco Area Chamber of Commerce. This Agreement is made and entered into between the City of Pasco, a municipal corporation of the State of Washington, hereinafter referred to as the CITY, and the Greater Pasco Area Chamber of Commerce, a non-profit corporation of the State of Washington, hereinafter referred to as the CHAMBER. For the mutual considerations contained herein, it is mutually agreed as follows: Section 1: The CHAMBER agrees to perform promotional services for the CITY as follows: a. Serve as an information center for the community and state. Mail responses to prospective visitors requesting information about the city and state. b. Maintain an extensive inventory of local and state tourist information for tourists traveling through or visitors staying in the city. c. Work with economic development agencies and other tourism agencies in the Pasco area to help promote visitors to the community. d. Make available, in sufficient quantities, information about the Pasco area to include education, arts, population, churches, industry and other miscellaneous information useful in the promotion of tourism and visitors to the community. e. Make available a quantity of Tri-City maps to be available at a reasonable fee at the CHAMBER office. The CITY will receive these for their use at no charge. Section 2: For the services herein above described, the CITY agrees to pay to the CHAMBER the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) for the twelve-month period beginning January 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2007. Payments shall be made in equal quarterly installments upon CITY receipt of invoice setting forth the services rendered. Section 3: Since the funds to be paid by the CITY to the CHAMBER under the terms of this Agreement are from the CITY'S Stadium/Convention Center Tax Fund, it is agreed that all expenditures made by the CHAMBER for which it seeks reimbursement under the terms of this Agreement from the CITY, shall be eligible expenditures under RCW 67.28.210. In the event that the CITY notifies the CHAMBER that an accounting or audit of reimbursed expenditures shows any such expenditures to be ineligible under RCW 67.28.210, the CHAMBER shall reimburse the CITY the amount of such ineligible expenditures within thirty (30) days of notification by the CITY. The CITY shall not be responsible to the CHAMBER to reimburse the CHAMBER for any payments it is required to return to the CITY under this provision. Section 4: The effective date of this Agreement shall be January 1, 2007 and the term shall be for one year, to expire December 31, 2007; provided, however, this Agreement shall automatically renew for additional one-year terms thereafter unless terminated by either party upon ninety(90) days written notice. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed this day of , 2006.
