ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 11/13: Presentation by Kris Watkins, President and CEO, Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau 11/19: MOTION: I move to approve the 2008 operating budget for the Tourism Promotion Area in the total amount of$810,000. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The Tourism Promotion Area (TPA) was formed in late 2004 to generate and administer the proceeds of a "per night room assessment" on hotels/motels in the Tri-Cities, imposed by the hotels themselves. B) The interlocal agreement (between Pasco, Kennewick and Richland) that created the TPA requires the annual budget from the TPA to be approved by the City Council. V. DISCUSSION: A) The TPA "assessment" is remitted by the hotels to the state which, in turn, distributes it to the city in which it was collected. The city is obligated to pass the funds to the TPA, for use in accordance with the approved budget. The 2008 budget is generally the same as 2007, except for: • Administrative costs will increase by $35,000 (28%) principally due to the higher rent payment associated with the new combined office location of the Visitor & Convention Bureau (TPA), TRIDEC and Regional Chamber of Commerce; • Opportunity Fund will double, to $60,000; • Reserves (the portion of recurring revenue not allocated for expenditure) will decline by $47,000 to only $16,000. 3(b) AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council November 5, 2007 TO: Gary Crutchfie Stan Strebel, A min?anager i and Community Services Direc r FROM: Paul Whitemarsh,�on Services Manager Workshop Mtg.: 11/13/07 Regular Mtg.: 11/19/07 SUBJECT: Senior Center Facility and Program Study I.

REFERENCEM: A. Proposed Ordinance and Vicinity Map II. AC'T`ION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 11/13: Discussion 11/19: Motion: I move to adopt Ordinance No. changing the name of a portion of East Lewis Street to Heritage Boulevard, and further, to authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A. Earlier in the year the City in conjunction with a private developer completed construction on Billings Avenue (now called Heritage Boulevard). This new street was constructed to provide a truck route link between the Lewis Street Interchange and the industrial properties south of"A" Street. B. Following the completion of Billings Avenue, the owner of much of the industrial land south of "A" Street, with support from the Port, petitioned to have the name of Billings Avenue changed to Heritage Boulevard. V. DISCUSSION: The purpose behind the construction of Heritage Boulevard was to create a direct connection from the existing Lewis Street Interchange and the industrial lands on the south side of"A" Street. The new street was seen as a key component in facilitating much needed future industrial development in the area. Additionally, the street was designed to route heavy truck traffic to "A" Street to eliminate the conflicts with large trucks traveling east on Lewis Street through the school zones. With a portion of the Lewis Street Interchange/"A" Street connection now named Heritage Boulevard, there is a need to fully extend the new street name to Highway 12. Extending the new street name to the state highway will eliminate any confusion with the current dual names (E. Lewis 8& Heritage) on this truck route. Having one consistent name from Highway 12 to the "A" Street industrial lands will also aid in marketing efforts for attracting future industrial businesses. The proposed name change will not affect any addressing because no properties are currently addressed on the portion of East Lewis that extends north from Heritage to the interchange. 3(d) ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE changing the name of a portion East Lewis Street. WHEREAS, the identification of streets plays an important function in maintaining the safety and welfare of the public; and, WHEREAS, street names are the principal means for the public to reference and locate properties in the city; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section I. That that portion of East Lewis Street extending northerly from the intersection with Heritage Boulevard to the intersection with Commercial Avenue on the northeasterly side of SR 12, is hereby renamed and shall henceforth be referred to and known as Heritage Boulevard. Section 2. This ordinance shall be in full force and effective after its passage and publication as required by law. PASSED this day of November 2007. Joyce Olson Mayor ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: .

Albe orks Director Workshop Mtg.: 11/13/07 Regular Mtg.: 11/19/07 SUBJECT: Small Works Roster Ordinance I. REFERENCE(S): 1. Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 11/13/07: Discussion 11/19/07: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , and Ordinance creating Section 14.11, Small Works Roster, and, further, authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The State of Washington created RCW 35.22 to allow Cities to create a Small Works Roster. The agency is required to establish rules implementing the roster. An Ordinance best establishes these rules. V. DISCUSSION: A) The City has used RCW 35.22 to establish a Small Works Roster for Public Works projects. The State Legislation recognized years ago the need to streamline receiving quotations or bids for small projects rather than a formal bidding process. The maximum dollar amount has increased over the years and is currently at $200,000. In 2006, Legislation made several administrative changes and options. B) Staff proposes an Ordinance creating Chapter 14.11, Small Works Rosters, which describes in detail the State Law with recent changes. This will also help staff in understanding the changes and implementing RCW 35.22. Staff recommends approval of the proposed Ordinance. 3(e) ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE of the City of Pasco, Washington, Creating Chapter 14.11 Entitled "Small Works Roster" WHEREAS, the City is authorized by RCW 39.04.155 and other laws regarding contracting for public works to establish and implement a Small Works Roster to provide an alternative for public bidding for public works contracts having a total contract price, including sales tax, of under Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00); and WHEREAS, RCW 39.04.190 provides for the purchase of materials, supplies, or equipment not connected to a public works project that is to be secured by a vendor's list process; and WHEREAS, the Washington Legislature, in 2007, has made amendments to the City's authority for the use and implementation of a Small Works Roster requiring the update and codification by the City of its Small Works Roster procedure,NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON,DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. That a new Chapter 14.11 entitled "Small Works Roster" of the Pasco Municipal Code shall be and hereby is enacted and shall read as follows: CHAPTER 14.11 SMALL WORKS ROSTER Section 14.11.010 Small Works Roster Procedures. 14.11.020 Purchase of Materials, Supplies or Equipment Not Connected to a Public Works Project Under Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00). 14.11.030 Purchase of Materials, Supplies or Equipment Not Connected to a Public Works Project in an Amount Between Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00) and One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00). 14.11.010 SMALL WORKS ROSTER PROCEDURES. The following Small Works Roster procedures are established for use by the City pursuant to RCW 35.22.620 and RCW 39.04. A) Cost. The City need not comply with formal sealed bidding procedures for the construction, building, renovation, remodeling, alteration, repair, or improvement of real property where the estimated cost does not exceed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000.00), which includes the costs of labor, material, equipment and sales and/or use taxes as applicable. Instead, the City may use the Small Works Roster procedures for public works projects as set forth herein. The breaking of any project into units or accomplishing any projects by phases is prohibited if it is done for the purpose of avoiding the maximum dollar amount of a contract that may be let using the Small Works Roster process. B) Number of Rosters, The City may create a single general Small Works Roster, or may create a Small Works Roster for different specialties or categories of anticipated work. Said Small Works Rosters may make distinctions between contractors based upon different geographic areas served by the contractor. C) Contractors on Small Works Roster(s). The Small Works Roster(s) shall consist of all responsible contractors who have requested to be on the roster(s), qualified under the requirements of PMC 14.10, and where required by law are properly licensed or registered to perform such work in this State. Contractors desiring to be placed on a roster or rosters must keep current records of any applicable license, certifications, registrations, bonding, insurance, or other appropriate matters on file with the City as a condition of being placed on a roster or rosters. D) Publication. At least once a year, the City shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation within the jurisdiction a notice of the existence of the roster or rosters and solicit the names of contractors for such roster or rosters. Responsible and qualified contractors shall be added to an appropriate roster or rosters at any time that they submit a written request and necessary records. The City may require master contracts to be signed that become effective when a specific award is made using a Small Works Roster. E) Electronic Rosters. In addition to paper and/or electronic rosters kept on file in the appropriate department, the City may also use state-wide electronic data base developed and maintained for this purpose. F) Telephone or Written Quotations. The City shall obtain telephone, written or electronic quotations for public works contracts from contractors on the appropriate Small Works Roster to assure that a competitive price is established and to award contracts to the lowest responsible and qualifying bidder as defined in RCW 39.04,350, as follows: 1) A contract awarded from a Small Works Roster need not be advertised. Invitations for quotations shall include an estimate of the scope and nature of the work to be performed as well as materials and equipment to be furnished. However, detailed plans and specifications need not be included in the invitation. This subsection does not eliminate other requirements for architectural or engineering approvals as to quality and compliance with building codes. 2) Quotations may be invited from all appropriate contractors on the appropriate Small Works Roster. As an alternative, quotations may be invited from at least (5) contractors on the appropriate Small Works Roster who have indicated the capability of performing the kind of work being contracted, in a manner that will equitably distribute the opportunity among the contractors on the appropriate roster. If the estimated cost of the work is from one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) to two hundred thousand dollars ($200,000.00), the City may choose to solicit bids from less than all the appropriate contractors on the appropriate Small Works Roster, but must also notify the remaining contractors on the appropriate Small Works Roster that quotations on the work are being sought. The City has the sole option of determining whether this notice to the remaining contractors is made by: a) Publishing notice in a legal newspaper in general circulation in the area where the work is to be done. b) Mailing a notice to these contractors; or C) Sending a notice to these contractors by facsimile or other electronic means. 3) For the purpose of this Chapter, "equitably distribute" means that the City may not favor certain contractors on the appropriate Small Works Roster over other contractors on the appropriate Small Works Roster who perform similar services. At the time bids are solicited, the City representative shall not inform a contractor of the terms or amount of any other Contractor's bid for the same project. 4) A written record shall be made by the City representative of each contractor's bid on the project and of any conditions imposed on the bid. Immediately after an award is made, the bid quotations obtained shall be recorded, open to public inspection, and available by telephone inquiry. G) Limited Public Works Process. If work, construction, alteration, or improvement projects are estimated to cost less than thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000.00), the City may award such a contract using the limited public works process provided under RCW 39.04.155. For limited public works project, the City will solicit electronic or written quotations from a minimum of three (3) contractors from the appropriate Small Works Roster and shall award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder as defined under RCW 39.04.350. After an award is made,the quotations shall be open to public inspection and available by electronic request. The City may use the limited public works process to solicit and award Small Works Roster contracts to small businesses that are registered contractors with gross revenues under one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) annually as reported on their Federal Tax Return, and to adopt such additional procedures as to encourage small businesses that are registered contractors with revenues under two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000.00) annually as reported on their Federal Tax Return to submit quotations or bids on Small Works Roster contracts. For limited public works project, the City may waive the payment and performance bond requirements of RCW 39.08 and the retainage requirements of RCW 60.28, thereby assuming the liability for the contractor's nonpayment of laborers, mechanics, subcontractors, material suppliers, suppliers, and taxes imposed under Title 82 RCW that may be due from the contractor for the limited public works project. However, the City shall have the right of recovery against the contractor for any payments made on the contractor's behalf. The City shall maintain a list of the contractors contacted and the contracts awarded during the previous twenty-four (24) months under the limited public works process, including the name of the contractor, the contractor's registration number, the amount of the contract, a brief description of the type of work performed, and the date the contract was awarded. H) Determining Lowest Responsible Bidder. The City shall award the contract for the public works project to the lowest responsible bidder provided that, whenever there is a reason to believe that the lowest acceptable bid is not the best price obtainable, all bids may be rejected and the City Council may call for new bids.

III. FISCAL IMPACT: Sewer Utility IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The Capital Improvement Plan shows improvements and expansion at the Wastewater Treatment Plant including the installation of a new bio-solids thickening system. V. DISCUSSION: A) The expended growth in the City has required the need to process and store more bio-solids. Currently, the solids are taken directly from the digesters to drying beds. The drying beds require a sizeable amount of land and are very inefficient during the winter months. A new mechanical thickening system will reduce the amount of water in the bio-solids before being placed in the drying beds. This will reduce the amount of drying beds needed today, shorten the drying time, and make some of the existing drying beds available for future growth. B) Proposed Amendment No. 6 is for the design of the system. Attachment A to the amendment also includes services during construction which is not part of the amendment. The need for construction services would be determined after a bid is awarded for the system. C) The total fee for this work is based on a lump sum of$176,900. Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 6 to CH2MHill Professional Services Agreement. 3(g) WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANT EXPANSION ,.

AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council DATE: November 8, 2007 WORKSHOP: November 13, 2007 TO: Gary Crutchfi Manager Stan Strebel, A is ative & Community Services Director FROM: Jim hl , inance Manager SUBJECT: STORMWATER UTILITY RATE INCREASE. I. REFERENCE(S): Ordinance to increase the Stormwater Utility Charges II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 11/13/2007 Discussion 11/19/2007 MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. providing for rate increases in the Stormwater Utility and amending section 3.07.190 of the Pasco Municipal Code and to authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: See DISCUSSION. IV. HISTORY AND BRIEF FACTS: The City contracted with HDR Engineering, Inc. (HDR) to perform a comprehensive utility rate study early in 2007. The study included the water, sewer, stormwater and irrigation utilities. The study indicated a need for a rate increase in the stormwater utility while the other utility rates are adequate to cover anticipated expenses. HDR made a presentation to Council on July 23, 2007 which provided several options for a stormwater rate increase. As of the end of 2006, the stormwater utility had a deficit cash balance of$229,459. Including$330,000 in capital improvements budgeted in 2007, the negative cash balance will be approximately$650,000 by the end of the year. The present stormwater utility rate is $1.80 per month and the resulting revenues have not been sufficient to covering operating costs and capital improvements. If the rate is left unchanged, and$155,000 in capital improvements in the proposed budget, the negative balance will grow by an additional $275,000 in 2008. The major component of the stormwater utility program is keeping the streets and gutters free of debris to allow rainwater easy access into the drainage system. The street sweepers are utilized during slack traffic times to accomplish this task. V. DISCUSSION: HDR provided three options for increasing the stormwater utility rates. 1) Increase the monthly residential rate from$1.80 to $3.50 in 2008. 2) Increase the monthly residential rate to $3.60 over the next three years, or 3) Increasing the monthly residential rate to $2.90 in 2008 and review the resulting revenues and increase rates accordingly in a few years. The commercial rate,based on parking spaces and acreage,would also increase by the same percentage,based upon the option used, as would the rate for multi-family units. 3(h) The recently approved six year Capital Improvement Plan calls for spending$155,000 per year for capital improvements. $55,000 slated to be spent for ongoing repairs and extensions to the system while $100,000 would be spent on anticipated new state regulations (having to begin retrofitting dry wells in close proximity of groundwater). Choosing option 1 (a monthly residential rate of$3.50) and spending$155,000 per year for capital improvements would result in a positive cash balance by the middle of 2014. Choosing option 2 (a monthly rate of$3.60) and spending $155,000 per year for capital improvements would result in a positive cash balance during the first quarter of 2013. The ten cent increase from the rate suggested in Option 1,would bring approximately $20,000 in additional revenues to the utility each year. Choosing option 3 (a monthly rate of$2.90) and spending$155,000 in capital costs each year would result in the utility cash balance continuing to decline. By the end of 2010, the deficit balance would be approximately$770,000. A monthly utility rate of at least $3.05 in 2008 would be needed to avoid further declines in cash reserves. VI. OTHER COMMENTS: Staff recommends selecting Option 1 for several reasons. 1) If anticipated state requirements are delayed, then spending less than $155,000 in capital improvements would improve the cash balance at a faster pace. 2) If those capital improvements are needed,the cash balance would still improve by approximately$100,000 per year, and as mentioned previously,would mean a positive cash balance in 2014. 3) After anticipated state requirements are met, and the cash balance is at a desired level, the utility rates could be reviewed. The following are some cities in close proximity to Pasco that charge a monthly fee for their stormwater utilities and their 2007 monthly single family residential rate: Richland $2.85 Walla Walla $3.18 Wenatchee $3.82 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING AN INCREASE IN THE MONTHLY STORMWATER UTILTY FEES AND AMENDING CHAPTER 3.07.190 OF THE PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE ENTITLED "STORMWATER UTILITY".
