III. FISCAL IMPACT: Water/ Sewer Fund $190,000 IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) A Neighborhood Meeting was held with the property owners on March 12, 2008 to discuss the proposed LID. Staff has received support from owners representing 64% of the project. Staff made a presentation to the City Council on March 31, 2008 regarding the formation of a LID in Road 90 and Road 92, north of Sandifur Pkwy. Staff explained that when the plats were approved the street improvements were not required. These two roads will need to be built to allow access to the properties so they can be developed. The improvements included in the LID include the curb, gutter, power, lights and roadway. Staff recommends the City pay for the sewer and water extensions in both Road 90 and Road 92. The properties would reimburse the City through the water and sewer fees at the time of development. The City Council instructed staff to proceed with the formation of this LID. On April 15, 2008 the City Council approved Resolution 3075 declaring its intention to create LID 144, and set Monday May 19, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. for a Public Hearing. The "Notice of Proposed Improvement and Public Hearing Thereon" with the Preliminary Assessment costs was sent to each of the property owners on May 1, 2008. The Notice was also published in the Tri-City Herald on May 4' and 5`h, 2008 B) The Public Hearing is to solicit and hear testimony from those for and against the LID. V. DISCUSSION: A) Staff believes a project needs to be created to complete Road 90 and Road 92 in the Cole's Estates area. This project would abut seventeen (17) parcels and facilitates development in this vicinity. The proposed LID boundary includes parcels that are zoned commercial and residential. Due to the variation in parcel sizes, the proposed LID would be based on front footage and area charges. B) Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the Ordinance creating this LID. 7(a) CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON ORDINANCE NO.

In accordance with the provisions of RCW 35.44.047, the City may use any method or combination of methods to compute assessments which may be deemed to more fairly reflect the special benefits to the properties being assessed than the statutory method of assessing the properties. Section 5. Local improvement district warrants may be issued in payment of the cost and expense of the Improvements herein ordered to be assessed, such warrants to be paid out of the Local Improvement Fund, District No. 144, hereinafter created and referred to as the Local Improvement Fund, and, until the bonds referred to in this section are issued and delivered to the purchaser thereof, to bear interest from the date thereof at a rate to be established hereafter by the City's Financial Services Manager, as issuing officer, and to be redeemed in cash and/or by local improvement district bonds herein authorized to be issued, such interest-bearing warrants to be hereafter referred to as "revenue warrants." In the alternative, the City hereafter may provide by ordinance for the issuance of other short-term obligations pursuant to chapter 39.50 RCW. If the City shall authorize expenditures to be made for such Improvements (other than for any cost or expense expected to be borne by the City) prior to the date that any short-term obligations or local improvement district bonds are issued to finance the Improvements, from proceeds of interfund loans or other funds that are not, and are not reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-term basis or otherwise set aside to pay the cost of the Improvements herein ordered to be assessed against the property specially benefited thereby, the City declares its official intent that those expenditures, to the extent not reimbursed with prepaid special benefit assessments, are to be reimbursed from proceeds of short-term obligations or -2- 50912498,1 local improvement district bonds that are expected to be issued for the Improvements in a principal amount not exceeding $602,160.04. The City is authorized to issue local improvement district bonds for the District which shall bear interest at a rate and be payable on or before a date to be hereafter fixed by ordinance. The bonds shall be issued in exchange for and/or in redemption of any and all revenue warrants issued hereunder or other short-term obligations hereafter authorized and not redeemed in cash within twenty days after the expiration of the thirty-day period for the cash payment without interest of assessments on the assessment roll for the District. The bonds shall be paid and redeemed by the collection of special assessments to be levied and assessed against the property within the District, payable in annual installments, with interest at a rate to be hereafter fixed by ordinance under the mode of"payment by bonds," as defined by law and the ordinances of the City. The exact form, amount, date, interest rate and denominations of such bonds hereafter shall be fixed by ordinance of the City Council. Such bonds shall be sold in such manner as the City Council hereafter shall determine. Section 6. In all cases where the work necessary to be done in connection with the making of such Improvements is carried out pursuant to contract upon competitive bids (and the City shall have and reserves the right to reject any and all bids), the call for bids shall include a statement that payment for such work may be made in cash warrants drawn upon the Local Improvement Fund or by check or other lawful instrument through the City LID Construction Fund, LID 144 Account,for and on behalf of the District. Section 7. The Local Improvement Fund for the District is created and established in the office of the City Financial Services Manager. The proceeds from the sale of revenue warrants or other short-term obligations drawn against the fund which may be issued and sold by the City and the collections of special assessments, interest and penalties thereon shall be deposited in the Local Improvement Fund. Cash warrants to the contractor or contractors in payment for the work to be done by them in connection with the Improvements and cash warrants in payment for all other items of expense in connection with the Improvements may be issued against the Local Improvement Fund. Alternatively, payment to the contractor or contractors may be made through the City LID Construction Fund, LID 144 Account, for and on behalf of the District. Section 8. Within 15 days of the passage of this ordinance there shall be filed with the City Clerk the title of the Improvements and District number, a copy of the diagram or print showing the boundaries of the District and the preliminary assessment roll or abstract of such roll showing thereon the lots, tracts and parcels of land that will be specially benefited thereby and the estimated cost and expense of such Improvements to be borne by each lot, tract or parcel of land. The City Clerk immediately shall post the proposed assessment roll upon her index of local improvement assessments against the properties affected by the local Improvements.

REFERENCE(S): 1. Sketch of Proposed New Facility 2. Aquatic Facilities Financing Options 3. Draft Bond Election Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 5/12: Discussion 5/19: Motion: I move to adopt Ordinance No. 3VV3 , providing for submission to the voters of the question of issuing bonds to finance the Aquatic Facilities Project. III. FISCAL IMPACT: $5,000,000 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Bond Issue IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) At its meeting of April 28, Council again reviewed the various swimming facility alternatives including the original Option "A", renovation of Memorial Pool and construction of a new outdoor leisure pool, as recommended by the ad hoc pools committee and options for an indoor facility. B) The consensus of Council appeared to favor moving forward with Option "A". The issuance of bonds would have to be approved by sixty (60%) percent of those voting for that purpose in a special election. In addition, forty (40%) percent of those voting in the last previous general election would be required to validate the vote. An election in conjunction with the August 19, 2008 primary election would require notice (a resolution) filed with the County Auditor by May 271h The November 4, 2008 general election would require notice filed by August 12th, C) If Council desires to submit the issue at the August election, a Bond Election Ordinance, in substantially the form provided herein, must be adopted for submission to the County Auditor at the meeting of May 19th. D) As previously discussed with Council, the cost for the owner of a $100,000 home, on an annual basis, would be a $16.00 per year increase in property tax if the measure were adopted and $5 million worth of bonds sold. As valuation in the city continues to increase over the life of the bonds, it would be expected that the annual cost to property owners would decline. 8(a) apo S Lj $�1.T4t ItOtaS'E. f�CytT,�.

The Council hereby finds and declares that the Project to be paid for with proceeds of the Bonds, including interest earnings thereon (the "Bond Proceeds") is more particularly defined and described as follows: (a) Renovate the existing Memorial Park Swimming Pool located East of Highway 395, including, but not limited to: correct operational and code deficiencies; construct a new bath house; and make other capital improvements, all as deemed necessary and advisable by the Council. (b) Acquire, construct and equip a new outdoor aquatic facility to be located West of Highway 395 that will include, but not be limited to: a zero depth leisure pool; bath house; slide and other water play features; and other capital improvements, all as deemed necessary and advisable by the Council.

(d) Pay incidental costs incurred in connection with carrying out and accomplishing the foregoing pursuant to RCW 39.46.070. Such costs shall be deemed part of the Project and shall include, but are not limited to, costs related to the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds; payments for fiscal and legal expenses; obtaining ratings and bond insurance; printing, advertising, establishing and funding accounts; necessary and related engineering, architectural, planning, consulting, inspection and testing costs; administrative and relocation expenses; site acquisition and improvement; demolition; on and off-site utilities and road improvements; and other similar activities or purposes, all as deemed necessary and advisable by the Council. The Project, or any portion or portions thereof, shall be acquired or made insofar as is practicable with available Bond Proceeds, together with any other money of the City legally available therefor, and in such order of time as shall be deemed necessary and advisable by the Council. The Council shall determine the application of Bond Proceeds, together with any other money of the City legally available therefor, between the various parts of the Project so as to accomplish, as near as may be, all of the Project. The Council shall determine the exact order, extent and specifications for the Project. The Project is to be more fully described in the plans and specifications to be prepared by the City's architects and engineers and to be filed with the City. The estimated cost of the Project, including the costs of issuing, selling and delivering the Bonds is declared to be, as nearly as may be, $10,000,000. The economic life of the Project is expected to be at least 20 years. Section 4. The Auditor of Franklin County, Washington, as ex officio Supervisor of Elections (the "Auditor"), is requested to call and conduct a special election in the City, in the manner provided by law, to be held therein on August 19, 2008, in conjunction with the State primary election to be held on the same date, for the purpose of submitting to the City's voters, for their approval or rejection,the proposition of whether the City shall issue the Bonds to pay costs of the Project and levy annual excess property taxes to pay and retire the Bonds. If such proposition is approved by the requisite number of voters,the City will be authorized to issue and sell the Bonds in the manner described in this ordinance, spend the Bond Proceeds to -2- pay costs of the Project, and levy annual excess property taxes to pay and retire the Bonds. The Bond Proceeds shall be used, either with or without additional money now available or hereafter available to the City, for capital purposes only, as permitted by law, which shall not include the replacement of equipment. Section 5. The Bonds authorized may be issued as a single issue or bond, as a part of a combined issue with other authorized bonds, or in more than one series, as deemed necessary or advisable by the Council and as permitted by law. The Bonds shall be fully registered bonds; shall bear interest payable as permitted by law; shall mature within 20 years from the date of issue (but may mature at an earlier date or dates as fixed by the Council); shall be paid by annual property tax levies sufficient in amount to pay both principal and interest when due, which annual property tax levies shall be made in excess of regular property tax levies without limitation as to rate or amount but only in amounts sufficient to meet such payments of principal and interest as they come due; and shall be issued and sold in such manner, at such times and in such amounts as shall be required for the purpose for which the Bonds are to be issued, all as deemed necessary or advisable by the Council and as permitted by law. The exact date, form, terms, option of prior redemption, price, interest rate or rates and maturities of the Bonds shall be hereafter fixed by ordinance of the Council. Pending the issuance of the Bonds, the City may issue short-term obligations pursuant to chapter 39.50 RCW to pay for costs of the Project. Such obligations may be paid or refunded with the Bond Proceeds. If the City receives voter approval to issue the Bonds in the manner described in this ordinance, the Council hereby authorizes and directs the Finance Manager of the City to: (a) review and "deem final" (within the meaning of Rule 15c2-12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission), if necessary and upon such official's satisfaction, any preliminary official statement prepared in connection with the sale of the Bonds by the City; (b) authorize the "deemed final" preliminary official statement to be distributed prior to the date any underwriter or purchaser bids for, purchases, offers or sells the Bonds; and (c) acknowledge in writing any action taken pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph. The Council declares that to the extent, prior to the date the Bonds or other short-term obligations are issued to pay costs of the Project, the City shall make capital expenditures for the Project from money that is not(and is not reasonably expected to be) reserved, allocated on a long- term basis or otherwise set aside by the City under its existing and reasonably foreseeable budgetary and financial circumstances to pay costs of the Project, those capital expenditures are intended to be reimbursed out of the Bond Proceeds or other short-term obligations issued in an amount not to exceed the principal amount of the Bonds provided by this ordinance. Section 6. If Bond Proceeds are more than sufficient to pay costs of the Project (the "Excess Bond Proceeds"), the City may use the Excess Bond Proceeds to: (a) acquire, construct, install, equip and make other capital improvements to the City's facilities; or (b) retire and/or defease a portion of the Bonds or other outstanding bonds of the City, all as deemed necessary or advisable by the Council and as permitted by law. In the event that the Bond Proceeds, together with any other money of the City legally available therefor, are insufficient to carry out and accomplish all of the Project, the City shall use the Bond Proceeds and other available money for paying the cost of that portion of the Project that is deemed by the Council most necessary and in the best interest of the City. -3- If the Council shall determine that it has become impractical to accomplish the Project or portions thereof by reason of state or local circumstances, including, but not limited to, changed conditions or needs, regulatory considerations, incompatible development or costs substantially in excess of those estimated, the City shall not be required to accomplish such Project and may apply the Bond Proceeds or any portion thereof to: (a) other portions of the Project; (b) acquire, construct, install, equip and make other capital improvements to the City's facilities; or (c) retire and/or defense a portion of the Bonds or other outstanding bonds of the City, all as deemed necessary or advisable by the Council and as permitted by law.

Clark, City Clerk 50912194.1 AGENDA REPORT NO. 20 FOR: City Council May 14, 2008 TO: Gary Crutchfi Manager WORKSHOP: REGULAR: 5119108 FROM: David I. McDonald, City Planner SUBJECT: Sign Code Amendment(MF#CA-08-003) I. REFERENCEN: A. Proposed Ordinance II. 'ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , amending PMC Chapter 17.05 dealing with sign lettering and, further, authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A. The current sign code was adopted over a year-and-a-half ago. Since that time, staff has had an opportunity to implement the code and see what has been effective and what has been unrealistic, with respect to real-life application. B. Recently, a sign permit was submitted for the new signage on the Dust Devils Stadium. Staff was only able to approve the proposed signage with limitations consistent with code restrictions which limits wall sign lettering to four feet in height. In the case of the Dust Devils Stadium, four-foot lettering would barely be visible from Burden Boulevard,which is located 1,200 feet away. C. After reviewing the proposed Stadium sign, it is apparent that there may be circumstances where it would be appropriate to permit wall sign lettering in excess of four feet in height. V. DISCUSSION: Following the discussion of the May 12`11 Council workshop, staff has prepared a code amendment to address the four-foot wall sign lettering issue. The attached code amendment repeals the four-foot height limitation for wall sign lettering. Wall lettering size would continue to be managed by the use of the 25 percent allowable surface area requirement for wall signs. 8(b) ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING PMC Chapter 17.05 DEALING WITH THE HEIGHT OF WALL SIGN LETTERING. WHEREAS, cities have the responsibility to regulate and control physical development within their borders and promote the public health, safety and welfare of the community; and WHEREAS, the City of Pasco has sign regulations to enhance and maintain the aesthetic character of the community while permitting the identification of business locations within the city; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that to further the purposes of the sign code and the proper identification of businesses, it is necessary to amend PMC Chapter 17.05; NOW,THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

McDonald, Qity Plannerlp'- _ SUBJECT: Subdivision Boundar} Fencing Standards (MF#CA-08-002) I. REFERENCE(S): Ii A. Proposed Resolution II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 5/19108 MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. , establishing city policy for construction of subdivision boundary fences. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Note IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BSIEF: I A. At their regular meeting of April 17, 2008 the Planning Commission held a workshop to discuss the need for a material standard for the construction of subdivision boundary fences. B. The general consensus of the Planning Commission was that the City Council should consider architectural block, high density polyethylene with vinyl posts and precast concrete wails s appropriate materials for subdivision fencing. Block walls were the preferred type f fencing. V. DISCUSSION: The practice of requiring common exterior subdivision fencing began in 1996 with the development of the Sunny Meadows subdivision. This subdivision was constructed with a perimeter fence consisting]of chain link and vinyl slats. The next major subdivision (built in 2000, Island Estates); was constructed with a perimeter fence of cedar. As additional subdivisions were added to the city, developers sought permission to substitute cedar look-alike materials and vinyl fencing. These synthetic fencing products were promoted as being less susceptible to warping, rotting, splitting, fading, and insect damage. The city has now had eight or more years of experience with various types of subdivision fencing materials and experience has shown that all types of fencing has maintenance issues. After discussing the merits of various types of fencing materials the consensus of the Planning Commission was that architectural block, high density polyethylene (HDPE) and pre-cast concrete panels would all be acceptable materials for subdivision fences. Architectural block was the preferred material followed by HDPE then pre-cast panels. Following the discussion of the May 12th Council workshop, staff has prepared a resolution, which if adopted, would establish city policy requiring subdivision boundary fences to constructed of architectural masonry block or pre-cast concrete panels. 8(c) RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION establishing City policy on subdivision boundary fencing standards WHEREAS, the Comprehensive Plan encourages the beautification of major streets in the city; and WHEREAS, the construction of fences from different materials and styles along arterial streets creates a haphazard appearance; and WHEREAS, certain types of fencing material deteriorates quickly or is susceptible to damage creating unsightly conditions along major streets and, WHEREAS, the haphazard construction of fences along major streets with materials highly susceptible to damage and deterioration does not support or implement the goals of the Comprehensive Plan; and, WHEREAS, the haphazard construction of fences along major streets with materials highly susceptible to damage and deterioration does not support the purposes of the zoning regulations that are designed to promote a more favorable environment and attractive city; and, WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has taken note of the conditions of subdivision fences along major street and reviewed the issue during the April 17, 2008 Planning Commission meeting; and, WHEREAS,the Planning Commission concluded that for long-term maintenance and avoidance of eyesores, subdivision fencing should be constructed of low- maintenance durable materials such as architectural block, high density polyethylene or pre-cast concrete panels; and, WHEREAS, the first choice of the Planning Commission for low maintenance durable fencing materials was architectural block; and, WHEREAS, the City Council concurs with the Planning Commission's assessment of subdivision fencing and suggestion for use of durable construction materials; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO: Section 1. That all subdivision boundary fences, where required by preliminary plat resolution, shall be constructed of architectural concrete block or poured concrete panels. Section 2. That a concrete mow strip shall be placed on the public side of subdivision boundary fences a minimum of 12 inches in width. " ' Passed by the City Council of the City of Pasco this 19th day of May, 2004. Joyce Olson,Mayor Sandy L. Kenworthy,Deputy City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Leland B. Kerr, City Attomey AGENDA REPORT TO: City Council May 8, 2008 FROM: Gary Crutch 1 anger Regular Mtg.: 5/19/08 SUBJECT: Council Cham ers Video Upgrade I. REFERENCE(S): 1. Memorandum to City Manager from Communications Specialist dated 5/7/08 II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve the Council Chambers video upgrade project not to exceed $35,000 and, further, direct that the amount be included in the year-end general fund supplemental budget. MOTION: I move to approve the purchase of the Council Chambers video system backup equipment not to exceed $16,000 and, further, direct that the amount be included in the year-end general fund supplemental budget. III. FISCAL IMPACT: $35,000 - $52,000, depending upon conclusion IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) Approximately two years ago, the City Council authorized installation of a video and new audio system by which to broadcast live the City Council, Planning Commission and Code Enforcement Board meetings on the city's governmental access channel available to the community through Charter Cable Communications. In order to keep costs down and "learn to walk before running," Council authorized at that time a basic installation with fixed cameras and no redundancy; the cost of the package at the time was about $80,000. B) Upgrading the video system, by adding a "pan/tilt/zoom" camera and improved lighting, would substantially improve the quality of the video recordings of meetings, for both live and subsequent broadcast purposes. The cost of these improvements is estimated at$35,000. C) The video system recently"crashed," preventing video recording and broadcasting of the city's meetings for the better part of a month. To avoid that problem, backup equipment could be acquired for about $16,000. V. DISCUSSION: A) The upgrade for the Council Chambers, permitting more close-up shots, etc., represents a "next level of improvement" step. While it is not essential, it would certainly improve the quality of the production and associated appeal to potential viewers. Half of the project cost is a one-time expense (engineering and electrical); the equipment should last several years. B) The backup recommendation should be implemented in order to assure that broadcasting capability is preserved. If viewership of PSC12 is to grow, the reliability factor must be improved. C) As both proposed expenditures are of a one-time nature, they can be viewed similar to capital expenditures and be charged against the general fund ending balance. 10(a) MEMORANDUM 05/07/08 TO: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager FROM: Denise Mellene, Communications Specialist RE: 2008 Council Chambers Video Upgrade In light of the recent events and after careful research, the recommendation below includes two components: 1) a back-up system to provide limited functionality in the event of a video switcher system failure; and 2) a fourth camera and required lighting to facilitate close-up shots. I recommend the following equipment purchase be authorized as soon as possible. Back-up: $16,500 1 would strongly recommend a back-up system be acquired immediately, to provide limited functionality in the event of future equipment failure. Currently, there is one road that goes from point `A' to point `B'; this will provide an alternate route if the first road is "closed." (For one evening of labor from the City of Richland the cost was nearly$300, the cost of the truck and labor would have been upwards of$1,200 per night. A back-up system would pay for itself in less than two months of meetings.) Chambers Upgrade: $35,000 This includes l camera, pan/tilt/zoom camera head, controller, lights, and mandatory electrical work (as determined by facilities). This will enable us to get close-up shots on the Council members, staff and a wide shot of the audience. Additional lighting for the Council members and staff is required to achieve an image of similar quality, clarity and definition of members who currently speak at the podium. (You can see the close-up shots on the current council meeting that is airing, though without the additional lighting the shots do not look clear and crisp as the shots of the podium speakers.) Camera Equipment: $12,000 Lighting Equipment: $6,000 Engineering/Electrical: $17,000 In summary if authorized the work should be completed within 60-90 days.
