III. FISCAL IMPACT
It is estimated that total of $755,656 will be available for use in meeting the goals of the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2008 Annual Work Plan. This estimated
combined total is from the following sources, an estimated entitlement grant of approximately
$615,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, program income
estimated at $10,000, and reallocations totaling $130,656. In the event of a funding shortfall,
funding for program activities will be reduced in accordance with HUD guidelines.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. The City received fourteen (14) requests for fiends totaling $971,500. Approximately
$755,656 is estimated to be available for use in 2008 from three sources. A funding deficit
of $215,844 was resolved by reducing funding requests for lower priority goals. A
summary of requests for 2008 CDBG funds is attached in Exhibit A.
B. All proposed activities are eligible for finding under U.S. Housing and Urban
Development Department regulations. HUD regulations state that the amount of CDBG
Funds obligated within a program year to support public service activities may not exceed
15% of the total entitlement plus prior year program income.
C. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on July 19, 2007 and August 16, 2007.
The public hearing, which was advertised in the Tri-City Herald in both English and
Spanish, solicited public comment either for or against any application for funding, or
reallocation for the City of Pasco 2008 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Program. At the public hearing fourteen (14)presentations were made relating to proposed
activities.
V. DISCUSSION
A. Staff presented recommendations for funding at the August 16, 2007 Pasco Planning
Commission meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of staff funding
recommendations.
B. Pasco's 2008 Annual Work Plan is due to HUD by November 15, 2007. It is recommended

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
NEW BUSINESS:
A. CDBG Development of the 2008 CDBG Program for the
City (Project Presentations) (MF# CDBG 07-001)
Vice Chairman Samuel read the master file number and asked staff for a report.
Staff reported on the Community Development Block Grant program and the
process for the allocation of funds for projects. The fund allocations are to meet
national objects related to benefiting low to moderate income individuals and
families, addressing urgent needs within the community and/or addressing
conditions of slum and blight.
Staff stated that notice of the hearing was published in the newspaper per
program requirements in both English and Spanish.
Staff provided a report on the 14 funding request proposals received, totaling
$971,500, including non-CDBG funding in the amount of $1,693,364. This
year's grant award is expected to be $625,000 based on last year's allocation of
$600,000 and program income of$25,000.
• Program administration (cap of 20% of available funds) $120,000
• Economic opportunity $145,000
(plus $50,800 non-CDBG funding)
• Public facility improvements $450,000
(plus $30,000 non-CDBG funding)
• Decent housing $144,000
(plus $1,289,614 non-CDBG funding)
• Public services (cap of 15% of available funds) $112,500
(plus $322,950 non-CDBG funding)
Commissioner Anderson asked for clarification of the slide listing the
categorization summary.
Staff explained that the list was a summary of the CDBG categorizes as outlined
on the detail list provided in the packets. The program goals are; #1
(mandatory) program administration, #2 is economic opportunity, #3 is public
facility improvements, #4 is decent housing, #5 is public services. These all
meet the goals of the Consolidated Plan.
- 1 -
Vice Chairman Samuel requested comment from the program administrators for
each of the items on the program proposal summary.
Item 1: Program Administration ($120,000)
Vice Chairman Samuel asked if staff would like to describe how City expects to
use the $120,000 in funding requested.
Staff responded that this funding will offset the cost of administering the CDBG.
Salaries and benefits are approximately $84,000. The other $36,000 is detailed
out into other administrative items beyond the salary breakdown.
Vice Chairman Samuel asked if any code enforcement was being paid for out of
the program administration item.
Staff responded, No, code enforcement falls under decent housing.
Vice Chairman Samuel asked if there were any comments from the public.
Bill Venema, 8517 W Court St, Pasco WA, asked if the $120,000 is an excessive
amount for administration of the program.
Staff responded that the block grant program caps the administrative funds at
20% and that the City has always been under that amount. There is a lot of
time and costs involved for administration of the program including: regulation
assessment, tracking the funds, advertisement, tracking records, etc. The
salary mentioned covers the coordinator, assistants and benefits.
Vice Chairman Samuel noted that the administrative allotment is questioned
every year and that he investigated the program costs last year to his
satisfaction.
Commissioner Anderson stated a point of order. He requested that the
Commission receive testimony from the individuals associated with the
programs prior to calling for comments. The call for comments could be made at
the end of the program presentation.
Vice Chairman Samuel, had no objection.
Item 2: Civic Center - 'Youth Recreation Specialist ($37,500)
Staff noted that they would report on several Parks and Recreation Department
proposals, including this one, as the Parks Director is unable to attend the
meeting.
Staff described this ongoing program that partially funds (the General Fund
provides the balance) a youth recreation specialist who works with
- 2 -
approximately 1300 at risk youth during the year in the neighborhood of City
Hall in census track 202 and 203.
Vice Chairman Samuel stated a point of order. He requested comparison
information, if available, for the prior year's program request. For example, the
program administration was the same dollar amount as last year's request? Is
the youth recreation specialist the same this year as last year?
Staff noted that both these assumptions are correct.
Item 3: Martin Luther King Community Center Recreation Specialist ($37,500)
Staff reported that this ongoing program is for the same dollar amount as last
year and has been available at the Martin Luther King Community Center for a
number of years. This is partial funding for a recreation specialist to work with
programs in conjunction with the Salvation Army, YMCA, and other
organizations that provide services to approximately 4,000 youths.
Item 4: Senior Citizen's Center Recreation Specialist ($37,500)
Staff reported that this is an ongoing program that has been funded at the same
level for several years, providing partial funding for a recreation specialist. The
program provides 40,000 senior service programming units for the elderly and
senior citizens. The balance of the funding is from the City.
Item 5: Pasco Downtown Development Commercial Kitchen ($65,000)
Dorothy Schoeppach, Manager of the Kitchen, 110 S 4th Avenue, Pasco, WA
99301, reported that this is an ongoing program requesting the same amount as
last year. The City originally received grants to re-develop the two pieces of
property the program and a number of new businesses now use. Ms.
Schoeppach distributed a list of 23 businesses now using the facility. Only
$50,000 of the request was granted last year causing a decrease in the amount
of marketing and advertising for the program.
Ms. Schoeppach noted that the program reacts to trends and that some of the
businesses have branched out, moving to their own locations as viable
businesses, which is the intent of the kitchen. Ms. Schoeppach also noted that
-the Pasco School District, through their commercial academy, is a partner with
17 to 30 students utilizing the facility during the school year.
Commissioner Little requested information on their financial status.
Ms. Schoeppach responded that the program is staying stable. If they do better,
they spin off funds to economic development.
Commissioner Little asked for information regarding what other businesses have
gone on to set up on their own.
- 3 -
Ms. Schoeppach noted that some businesses change their names when they
leave. Four businesses that are known to be still in business are: Quick Dogs in
downtown Kennewick, Northwest Seafood in Richland, Giggles Gluten Free
products in Richland, The Honey People in Pomeroy.
Commissioner Little noted another business --- The Lucky Flowers.
Ms. Schoeppach stated that there is a lot of fluctuation, businesses come and
go, but that some catering businesses have been with the kitchen since they
opened the doors. It is the nature of catering businesses that a storefront is not
needed. Also Cakes Be We is very successful, the best cakes in the state.
Commissioner Anderson noted that the block grant program is always in danger
of being discontinued by congress. How would that affect the kitchen?
Ms. Schoeppach responded that, like any small business, they would have to cut
back the management time and reduce visibility, advertising, and maintenance.
Ms. Schoeppach further discussed the cost and maintenance schedule. Also,
the intent of the program could be redesigned to adjust to the loss of funding.
You would not be able to maintain the program as it is without the assistance of
the CDBG funds.
Commissioner Schouviller asked if the participants paid a fee to use the kitchen.
Ms. Schoeppach described the sliding fee scale for the program participants.
The more use, the less the cost to the participants. She also noted that summer
was very busy and that the equipment has a default setting in order to reduce
costs.
Commissioner Schouviller asked about the qualifications of the participants.
Ms. Schoeppach stated that the businesses are required to: maintain a City of
Pasco business license, have a permit from either Benton-Franklin Health
Department or the State of Washington Department of Agriculture, maintain
$1 M in insurance with the kitchen with the City of Pasco named as additional
insured, and all staff must have health user cards and a license agreement with
the kitchen that includes the rules and regulations.
Commissioner Schouviller asked if there was a timeframe that businesses were
allowed to use the facility.
Ms. Schoeppach responded that she had completed a nationwide survey of
incubator kitchens and that the industry does not have a limit as most
participants move on before the limit is reached. Some business incubators
have a three-year limit but that has not been true in the food industry. Ms.
Schoeppach noted that this survey was done as the result of an objection to a
- 4 -
long-term client. The client is very successful; they have done a great job and do
a great job. Two things, they not only benefit from the kitchen but the kitchen
benefits from them.
Vice Chairman Samuel asked if it was Ms. Schoeppach's intent that five years in
the future the kitchen would not require CDBG funds or will the kitchen always
require block grant funds.
Ms. Schoeppach stated that if they do not have block grant funds they will have
to change the complexion of it from what they have today or they will have to
change some of the services. The facility is a wide open 10,078 square feet that
is either heated or cooled, which is one of the big expenses, and you maintain it.
The Health Department is very happy with the facility. Maybe someday but it
would be difficult to maintain the facility without some type of assistance.
Nationwide, there is only one commercial kitchen that is self-sustaining and it
contains only two manufacturers.
Item 6: Downtown Faeade Improvement (4 facades) ($80,000)
Staff reported that this on-going program, in place for several years and
requesting the same amount as last year, is advanced by the City and utilized by
several businesses in the downtown area to improve facades. Two facades have
been completed since it's inception in 2003 with three or four possible
applicants for the upcoming year, completing a section of five buildings with
new, improved facades, and revitalizing the businesses in the downtown district
with a new facelift.
Commissioner Little noted that the business also participates?
Staff noted that the split is 75%/25% and is capped at $20,000. A deposit of
$500 for good faith is received by the business. Once the bids are received, the
full 25% is received from the business, combined with the CDBG funds and the
City assumes the responsibility for payment using the private and CDBG funds.
Item 7: Catholic Family Volunteer Chore Services (4) ($4,000)
Shari Hallman, Catholic Family and Child Service, 5111 Dove Lane, West
Richland, Wa, thanked the City for the many years of funding. The program,
providing volunteers to do services, is for individuals of very low income (average
for single individual is $700 per month for all living expenses; a couple is $1500
per month). Current programs include mobility issues such as wheelchair
ramps, railings, etc.
The State of Washington also provides funding but with very stringent
requirements for use of the funds. The CDBG funds are used for individuals in
Pasco that do not qualify for any other programs. This year the request is for
$4,000.
- 5 -
Another aspect of the program, in place for approximately five years, is the
removal of ramps after they are no longer required. The ramps are donated back
to the program and reused for other individuals.
Commissioner Schouviller asked, in response to Ms. Hallman's comment that
they use to do more work in Pasco then they are now, why is it that they do
less? Has Pasco grown?
Ms Hallman responded that, No, it has nothing to do with Pasco, what happened
is that she started using contractor's rather than volunteers. While there were
more funds available all around the agency prefers they use volunteers.
Commissioner Schouviller asked for clarification: Is the City of Pasco doing
anything to discourage Ms. Hallman's organization?
Ms. Hallman responded that the City gave the organization $20,000 last year
but with the limited amount of time and with the grant money coming in later,
they have to meet a certain criteria. Manpower wise, they don't want to take
more money than they feel they can use. They may ask for more next year if
they feel they could use it.
Item 8: Energy Efficient Home Program (10 households) ($20,000)
David Odom, Benton-Franklin CAC, 1002 Abbott, Richland, WA, business
address - 720 W. Court Street, Pasco, WA. This continuing program is
requesting the same funding level as last year and will be matched with $20,000
from a State program. Some of the homes have leaky ducks, condemned
furnaces, and water heaters incorrectly installed. Mr. Odom reviewed the
program and specific projects and presented the Commissioner's with project
photos.
Vice Chairman Samuel asked if they planned on doing 10 houses this year.
Mr. Odom stated that was for 2008.
Vice Chairman Samuel asked if for 2007 they proposed 10.
Mr. Odom responded that he thought it was 9 or 10 but they are going to add
another project.
Vice Chairman Samuel asked how many were done in Kennewick and Richland.
Mr. Odom responded that in Benton and Franklin counties they do about 110
units in all their energy conservation programs. They receive funding from a
number of sources including: DOE, Health and Human Services, PUD, BPA.
Commissioner Schouviller asked how the 10 properties were selected.
- 6 -
Mr. Odom responded that they come through their energy assistance program,
another department that helps individuals with their energy bills. If they are
eligible for energy assistance they are automatically eligible for weatherization
and the home repair programs.
Item 9: Code Enforcement Officer ($48,000)
Staff reported that this ongoing project that has been in place for 20 years. This
partial funding, in the same amount as last year, is for a code enforcement
officer to deal with code related issues in housing and other areas, primarily in
central and eastern Pasco.
Item 10: Habitat for Humanity Tierra Vida Project Support (12 homes) ($72,000)
Kristin Lerch, Development Coordinator, 1614 Alder Avenue, Richland, WA,
business address - 313 Wellsian Way, Richland, WA. On behalf of Theresa
Richardson, Executive Director, she like thanked the City of Pasco and the
Commission for the opportunity to present their proposal.
Habitat for Humanity Tri-Cities has built 41 homes in the tri-cities since their
incorporation in 1994. The mission is to end poverty housing by building
simple, decent, affordable homes for families in need. They serve the low to very
low income population. These homes are built in partnership with the families
requiring over 500 hours of labor towards the building of their own homes.
The Tierra Vida project is a mixed income development at the east end of Pasco
in which 7 more homes will be completed in 2007 with 12 additional homes in
2008.
The request (estimated at $72,000) is for reimbursement for building permits
and related fees for these 12 homes.
Habitat builds affordable housing in partnership with the hard working families
as well as community support in all forms. The support is vital to be able to
reach the goal of providing simple, decent, affordable housing. In the last two
months, total fees and permits on a 1,000 square foot house increased from
$4,300 to $4,700 dollars.
Habitat for Humanity feels that their request falls in line with the City of Pasco's
long range community action plan, specifically goal 4; improve affordable
housing opportunities for lower income individuals and households.
The land is available for purchase. The infrastructure is complete and in place.
Families have been selected and they are ready to move forward. Using
primarily voluntary labor, the houses are typically finished in 4 to 5 months.
CDBG funds will secure the building permits as well and start construction.
- 7 -
Commission Schouviller requested information on the other funding sources.
Ms. Lerch responded that they had a number of sources including: fund
raising, HUD funds, CTED grant, construction loans that the mortgage
payments refund.
Vice Chairman Samuel requested information on the impact if the grant was not
received?
Ms. Lerch responded that it might impact where they build and their ability to
build in Pasco.
Item 11: Boys & Girls Club - Main branch Games room Renovation ($140,000)
Brian Ace, 1 102 N Irving Place, Kennewick, Wa, stated the proposed games room
renovation is located at 801 N 18th Avenue. The mission of the Boys and Girls
Club is to enable all young people, especially those who need them most, to
realize their full potential as productive, responsible, and caring citizens.
Security at the old Emerson Elementary school would be improved by
eliminating the unsupervised hallway space. The project falls under the public
facility improvements and public services of the City of Pasco and the strategic
plan objects.
Commissioner Schouviller asked for clarification of the hours and days of
operation.
Mr. Ace stated that the center is open after school to 6:00 p.m., Monday through
Friday. The cost to the participants is $10.00 per year and is entirely supported
by the community through grant dollars, corporate and individual donations,
and fundraisers.
Vice Chairman Samuels asked for information on enrollment.
Mr. Ace stated that the average daily attendance this school year was up by 30
to 200 a day.
Vice Chairman Samuel asked what other programs utilized the space.
Mr. Ace responded that the other programs include a pre-school, a kindergarten,
and, during the summer, a number of licensed child care camps.
Vice Chairman Samuel noted that he toured the facility with Leadership Tri-
cities and found it very impressive and that they are doing a great job.
Commissioner Little asked how the cost for the remodel was obtained.
- 8 -
Mr. Ace noted that a local construction firm, specializing in HUD projects,
completed a good faith estimate. Mr. Ace also noted that the grant dollars would
be used for completion of the bidding process.
Staff asked about the hallways and if they were connected to any other part of
the building.
Mr. Ace stated that they connect to a 30 station computer lab and an art room.
Staff noted that they have concerns regarding fire safety and safety exiting from
the building.
Mr. Ace responded that this was one of the questions they had when they
obtained the estimate. They will address that through the project's architectural
work which will use an engineering firm to ensure that the space is appropriate
safety and security wise for youth and meeting all the necessary codes.
Staff noted that typically you do not exit from one room to another room and
then out of a building.
Mr. Ace responded that they had looked at that at various times with the
licensing requirements on the building. He stated that one of the things they
might need to add are exterior exits from the art and games room. They will not
do a renovation that will put kids in an unsafe situation.
Item 12: Martin Luther King Community Center, Drainage Improvements
($50,000)
Staff noted that this project addresses a problem at the Martin Luther King
Center during stormy weather (flooding causes damage to the building and
makes part of the building unusable for a period of time). The problem would be
eliminate by placing proper drains around the building and channeling the
water to a drainage facility located at the other end of the park.
Vice Chairman Samuel asked if another source of funds was available or, if this
is not approved, what the impact would be.
Staff noted that there would be further deterioration of the building, increasing
future repair costs and cause lack of the use of the building for various
programs. Other funding sources would have to come from the General Fund.
Vice Chairman Samuel asked if the facility incurred food damage this year.
Staff noted that off and on it has incurred damage and could get the specifics for
the Commission.
- 9 -
Item 13: Peanuts Park Restroom Upgrade ($100,000)
Staff reported that the Peanuts Park restroom facility is approaching 30 plus
years in age, meeting their useful file, and does not meet current handicapped
accessibility requirements. They need extensive repair/remodel/ replacement.
Vice Chairman Samuel requested information on the park location.
Staff noted that it is the concrete park by the Farmers Market on the corner of
4th and Lewis.
Commissioner Anderson asked if the restroom was open.
Staff responded that in the past it is open during the Farmer's Market days

REGULAR MEETING AUGUST 16, 2007
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
OLD BUSINESS:
A. 2008 Block Grant Development of the 2008 CDBG Program for
Recommendation the City (Project Recommendations) (MF
#CDBG 07-0011
Chairman Samuel introduced the item and explained that it had been presented
at the last meeting and public comment had been received at that time. No
further public comments will be taken during the deliberations.
Staff noted that this item was brought before the Planning Commission for a
public hearing on July 19, 2007. At that time, testimony from staff and
concerned citizens was presented.
Staff stated that as a result of the public hearing, staff has prepared a final
report including findings of fact, conclusions based upon those finds of fact, and
a recommendation.
Chairman Samuel requested information on attachment 1 - reallocation table
for recommended carryover of 2007 CDBG funds. What are the question marks
indicating?
Staff noted that the CDBG coordinator has placed those as footnote indicators.
Those projects are still ongoing and have not been completed. The East Pasco
underground power lines still has some poles standing. East Lewis Street
sidewalks and the Economic Development Activity are also ongoing. These
categories contain no excess funds that can be shifted to 2008. The $130,000
total plus the $10,000 in program income can be carried over and added to the
estimated $61 5,000 believe HUD will allocate to Pasco for next year's programs.
Chairman Samuel asked staff to comment on the deviation from the Habitat for
Humanity request versus the staff recommendation.
Staff responded that Habitat for Humanity had purchased two lots in Pasco that
were not tied into water and sewer that generated a hefty water and sewer fee,
something that they were not use too. Since then they have received 10 to 12
lots in the Terra Vita subdivision. The Terra Vita is a developer built subdivision
with water and sewer to the lots. There are no front footage charges for these
lots. The bulk of the cost is in the front and square footage. These lots have
only the systems fee, regular building permit fee, park fee, and a small traffic
impact fee of$125.00.
- 1 -
When you compare those fees to other communities such as West Richland
which charges a park fee of $860.00/lot, Richland charges $680.00/lot,
Kennewick is $645.00/lot versus Pasco at $583.00/lot. When you look at the
fees, we are not really that much different than the other cities. The building
permit fees are within $100.00 to $200.00 of each other. If you look at some of
the traffic impact fees for certain areas of Richland, it is up over $900. Again,
Pasco is $125.00. The other communities are not providing Block Grant funds
for this service. Given that, staff was of the opinion that we would be better to
fund the other projects.
Chairman Samuel asked if there was anything that would prevent Habitat for
Humanity from submitting for this next year. Samuel noted that the reported
stated that this was a non-traditional funding request.
Staff noted that they can apply next year.
Commissioner Hay moved that the Planning Commission recommend to City
Council to approve the use of funds for the 2008 Community Development Block
Grant program as set forth in the 2008 fund summary as recommended by staff.
Commission Little seconded the motion; motion carried unanimously.

IV. HIS'T'ORY AND FACTS BRIEF
In 2005, the City committed 2004 HOME funds for the purchase of two lots on South 5"'Avenue
(Parcel numbers 112-383-460 and 112-383-458) that are ready to develop for low-income
housing. The lots have all necessary infra-structure including sewer and water service, a paved
street with curbing and other utility services. They are located in an R-2 zoning district, which
would permit the development of single family homes. With a density bonus(PM[C 25.68), it may
be possible to develop the lots with duplexes. The neighborhood is characterized by single family
homes on individual lots. The surrounding properties consist of both factory assembled homes
and site built homes. New construction of homes has occurred north of the lots.
V. DISCUSSION
The 5"' and Ainsworth projects, committed with 2004 HOME funds, must be expended by no
later than December, 2009. Due to a tight plan/build schedule, several organizations known to
have the capacity to carry out such a project were contacted by staff. Habitat for Humanity is
currently committed on other projects within the Tri-Cities and would not be able to complete the
project before 2011. La Clinica is currently under contract with the City of Pasco for 2005 CHDO
(Community Housing Development Organization) Project and is currently behind schedule_
Creative Housing Solutions (CHS) is currently under contract with the City of Pasco to
administer the City's Community Housing Improvement Program (CHIP); under this program,
16 homes in the Longfellow and Museum neighborhoods have been rehabilitated over the past
year. C14S responded to the request, providing a proposal for the projects, and committing to meet
the construction deadline of December, 2009.
VI. RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the Tri-Cities HOME Consortium contract amendment No. 3 be approved to
increase the scope of work to include administration of the 5°i and Ainsworth projects, increase
funding by $18,405.53 for a new contract ceiling not to exceed $713,405.53, and extend the
period of performance from November 30, 2007 to December 31, 2008. It is further

Sewer Utility Fund
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Staff has received a quote from Siemens Water Technologies, who is the sole
source supplier of the Dystor, in the amount of$196,800.00 plus applicable
sales tax to replace the membranes in the existing 42' diameter Dystor. The
Dystor was put into service at the Wastewater Treatment Plant in 1996. The
life expectancy of the membrane is 10-15 years. The Dystor serves as a
storage facility for methane gas to heat the Primary Digesters, and heat the
operations building during the winter months. The membrane has developed
a leak that allows the methane gas to escape. The limited gas storage capacity
makes it necessary to supplement natural gas to heat the Primary Digesters.
The Dystor can not be used for methane gas storage until the membranes are
replaced.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Staff recommends that Council approve the purchase of goods and services
from Siemens Water Technologies, and $200,000.00 be added to the year end
supplemental budget.

9/17: MOTION: I move to approve the revised Amendment No. 1 to the Interlocal
Agreement for Joint Planning of Regional Centers and, further,
authorize the Mayor to sign the Amendment.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
No change ($10,000 maximum)
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The Regional Oversight Committee (ROC) created in 2006 to study the potential for
a common regional centers plan concluded its initial work in spring 2007. The ROC
recommended the three cities collectively fund additional consulting work to refine
the potential funding package to be recommended by the ROC to the City Councils
and Public Facilities Districts within the Tri-Cities region.
B) The Pasco Public Facilities District and Pasco City Council both concurred in the
recommendation of the ROC and the Pasco City Council approved Amendment No. 1
to the Interlocal Agreement on June 4, 2007.
C) The Kennewick City Council expressed concern that the Public Facilities Districts be
included in the additional work effort and the Richland City Council expressed
concern about the requirement within the Amendment that the cities commit to
placing a financing plan before the voters of the region in 2008.
D) The ROC representatives have met with each of the Public Facilities Districts and
each has agreed to participate in the additional consulting effort. As a result, the
Richland City Council recently approved a revised Amendment to delete the
requirement for a public vote in 2008 (Task B). The revised language of Section 113
does not require a public vote or a certain deadline. The Kennewick City Council is
expected to act on the revised Amendment in September.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The change made by the Richland City Council would not appear to be in conflict
with the objective of the additional consulting work. Whatever recommendation
results from the additional consulting work will be subject to further consideration by
each of the City Councils and potentially each of the Public Facilities District Boards.
B) Because of the delay in gaining approval of each of the City Councils, the originally
intended consulting deadline of September 30 cannot now be fulfilled. That date has
likewise been moved forward to February 1, allowing four months for the additional
work to be completed.
C) Staff recommends approval of the revised Amendment.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council September 6, 2007
FROM: Gary Crutch is it Manager Workshop Mtg.: 9/10/07
SUBJECT: Local Voters P mphlet
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Letter from Franklin County Auditor to City Manager dated 8/6/07
2. RCW 29A.32.220
T1. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
9/10: Discussion
Ill. FISCAL IMPACT:
See below
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The Board of Franklin County Commissioners has determined that it will publish a
local voters' pamphlet for local issues on the general election ballots for 2007 and
2008, apparently using federal grant funds for the cost of producing and distributing
the pamphlet. After 2008, the pamphlet will become an additional cost of local
elections. As the County has not published such a document in the past, it does not
know at this point what the cost will amount to and, therefore, cannot advise of the
expected allocation to local governments, including the City of Pasco.
B) The County is not required to publish a pamphlet but, if it does so, RCW 29A.32.220
provides that, the local voters' pamphlet produced by the county must include each
elected office and ballot measure for each unit of local government (city) for that
election. Subsection 2 of that law provides that the City Council could petition the
Board of Commissioners to waive the requirement if inclusion of the city's ballot
issues would create an "undue financial hardship" for the city. Clearly, the statute
contemplates the notion that the cost of the pamphlet would be allocated to those
units of government whose issues are included within it. That concept is underscored
in the County Auditor's letter of August 6 which notes that the cost of producing and
distributing the pamphlet will be tracked in 2007 and 2008 so that the County can
have some estimate of what the cost of the pamphlet will be in 2009 and for pro-
ration in the manner provided under RCW 29A.04.410 (which provides that all costs
of conducting an election shall be prorated to each separate unit of government
included on the election ballot). Subsection 2 also includes the exception for any
"code city" (such as Pasco) to be excluded from the County voter's pamphlet only if
the city publishes and distributes its own voters' pamphlet for the same election.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) While this change would appear to have no cost to the city in 2007 and 2008, the
County clearly intends to allocate the cost of the local voters' pamphlet to the city
(and others, such as the school district) that have ballot measures on a general
election ballot starting in 2009. In discussion with representatives of the Auditor's
Office, they estimate the total cost of producing and distributing a local voters'
pamphlet to be somewhere between $8,000 and $20,000. Pasco would have at least
three election questions on each odd year ballot (2009 will have at least four
Councilmember positions subject to election). The odd year elections generally are
limited to local units of government and special districts (schools, Port, PUD, etc.);
thus, the city would likely experience a cost increase in each of the odd years, but not
in even-numbered years. Even-numbered years are generally limited to county, state
and federal election issues.
B) Staff recommends the cost of the County's voters' pamphlet be monitored over the
next two years so as to determine whether or not it would be appropriate for the city
to issue its own voters' pamphlet. Staff recommends no specific action at this time.

Dear Gary Crutchfield,
Notice is hereby given that the Board of County Commissioners of Franklin County
pursuant to the provisions of RCW 29A.32.210 have adopted Ordinance No. 6-2007
which authorizes the publication and distribution of a local voters' pamphlet for general
elections.
As per RCW 29A.32.220, the pamphlet shall be published for the elective offices and
ballot measures of the county and for each unit of local government located entirely
within the county which will appear on the ballot at that election.
For election years 2007 and 2008, Franklin County has received federal grant funds to
cover the costs of producing and distributing our local voters' pamphlet; there will be no
charge to the districts. Costs will be tracked; however, in order to provide jurisdictions
with figures for future reference.
Beginning in 2009,the cost of the local voters' pamphlet shall be considered an election
cost to those local jurisdictions included in the pamphlet and shall be prorated in the
manner provided in RCW 29A.04.410.
For further information, contact Diana Killian, Election Administrator, at 509-545-3538.

of production --- Local };overnirtents' r:lecision to f.aar•ticipcate-.
(1) Not later than ninety days before the publication and distribution of a local voters'pamphlet by a county,the county
auditor shall notify each city,town, or special taxing district located wholly within that county that a pamphlet will be
produced.
(2) If a voters'pamphlet is published by the county for a primary or general election,the pamphlet shall be published
for the elective offices and ballot measures of the county and for the elective offices and ballot measures of each unit of
local government located entirely within the county which will appear on the ballot at that primary or election. However,
the offices and measures of a first class or code city shall not be included in the pamphlet if the city publishes and
distributes its own voters'pamphlet for the primary or election for its offices and measures.The offices and measures of
any other town or city are not required to appear in the county's pamphlet if the town or city is obligated by ordinance or
charter to publish and distribute a voters'pamphlet for the primary or election for its offices and measures and it does so.
If the required appearance in a county's voters'pamphlet of the offices or measures of a unit of local government
would create undue financial hardship for the unit of government,the legislative authority of the unit may petition the
legislative authority of the county to waive this requirement.The legislative authority of the county may provide such a
waiver if it does so not later than sixty days before the publication of the pamphlet and it finds that the requirement would
create such hardship.
(3) If a city,town, or district is located within more than one county,the respective county auditors may enter into an
interlocal agreement to permit the distribution of each county's local voters' pamphlet into those parts of the city,town, or
district located outside of that county.
(4) If a first-class or code city authorizes the production and distribution of a local voters' pamphlet,the city clerk of
that city shall notify any special taxing district located wholly within that city that a pamphlet will be produced. Notification
shall be provided in the manner required or provided for in subsection (1)of this section.
(5)A unit of local government located within a county and the county may enter into an interlocal agreement for the
publication of a voters'pamphlet for offices or measures not required by subsection (2)of this section to appear in a
county's pamphlet.
