ADMINISTRATIVE ROUTING: cc: Dot French,Municipal Court Clerk 3(b).2 AGENDA REPORT TO: City Council March 12, 2009 FROM: Gary Crutchfi 1 y Manager Regular Mtg.. 3/16/09 SUBJECT: TPA Budget Amendment I. REFERENCE(S): 1. Letter from TPA dated 2/18/09 II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 3/16: MOTION: I move to approve the transfer of$68,800 from the reserve account within the TPA budget to be used for promotional projects expenditures. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The Tourism Promotion Area (TPA) is a"visitor promotion"program financed by the hotels in the region through a self-imposed room tax which they remit to the state each year. The state returns the funds to the cities in which the hotels are located, to be allocated to the TPA budget as approved by each of the City Councils annually. The 2009 TPA budget was approved by the Pasco City Council in October 2008. B) As explained in the February 18 letter, the regional hotel commission (which oversees the operation of the TPA) realized more revenue through the end of 2008 than they originally projected. The additional income can be used for additional projects. To that end, the Commission requests transfer of $68,800 from the budgeted reserve to be used for supplemental tourism projects in 2009. C) Given that the budget amendment essentially allocates unanticipated revenue for one-time promotional "project expenses," the request will not have an adverse effect on the operating budget of the TPA and will preserve an "operating reserve" of at least $250,000. V. DISCUSSION: A) Staff recommends approval. 3(c) 777 .1 r VISITOR&CONVENTION BUREAU "r.<<aii�wi� Niscc�'m;ivwc/v�hS�eN ci, r, TRI-CITIES VISITOR&CONVENTION BUREAU P.O.Box 2241 Tri-Cities,WA 99302-2241 509-735-8486 1-800-254-5824 Fax 509-783-9005 www.VisitTri-Cides.com info@VisitTri-Cities.com February 18, 2009 Mr. Gary Crutchfield City of Pasco 525 N. Third Ave. Pasco, WA 99301 Dear Mr. Crutchfield: At the January 15th meeting of the Tri-City Regional Hotel-Motel Commission, the Commissioners present voted unanimously to request the Pasco City Council's approval to withdraw funds from the Tourism Promotion Assessment Reserve Account to invest in three projects which are outlined below. As of January 1, 2009 the balance of the Tourism Promotion Assessment Reserve Account was $380,148.00. It has long been the Commissioners intent to maintain a sufficient reserve account balance to act as a "rainy day" fund, while still allowing a majority of the funds collected to be invested in promoting the Tri-Cities as a premier destination for business, leisure, convention and group travel. The consensus has been that $250,000 in the Reserve Account is the optimal balance. The Reserve Account has grown to its current balance due to conservative budgeting and the fact that expenses have consistently been kept under budget. The following projects are those that the Commissioners have identified as worthwhile investments: I. The Opportunity Fund: During the 2009 budget process the Commissioners approved a budget that included a$13,800 withdraw from reserves to balance the budget. Given the current competitive nature of the convention and sports tournament industry, the Commissioners felt bolstering the Opportunity Fund by$13,800 to allow for$60,000 in expenditures was imperative. This figure was included in the budget approved by the City Council last October and at the time Bureau staff explained that we would be making a request for approval to withdraw funds from the Reserve Account. 2. Golf&Wine Count Advert isin : This program involves an integrated approach to advertising and targets residents of the greater Puget Sound area. It includes television advertising, website banner advertising, and Google ad search words. The Golf&Wine advertising promotion runs from February through April. 2009 will be the third consecutive year for this campaign. The Commissioners are recommending a $30,000 investment from reserves which will allow for a$45,000 advertising campaign. 3. website Improvements: The Tri-Cities Visitor& Convention Bureau's website receives 328,364 unique visits per year and is an important tool in promoting the Tri-Cities as a destination. The current website was designed over five years ago and there is no longer technical or system support to expand it. In 2008 $54,000 was invested, which was the first of two payments for the production of a new website. The remaining investment required to complete the project is $25,000. The total request for these projects combined is $68,800. If approved by the City Councils of Pasco, Richland, and Kennewick, the remaining account balance will be approximately $311,348.00, which is sufficient to accommodate any emergency requests in the future, should there be cause to do so. Thank you for your consideration. I am available should you or any of the City Council Members have any questions or if any further clarification is required.

REFERENCE(S): 1) Copy of Memo from Ogden Murphy Wallace, PLLC, Attorneys at Law 2) Proposed Resolution 3) Initial Identity Theft Prevention Program II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 3/9/09 DISCUSSION • 3/16/09 MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No.31`'adopting an Identity Theft Prevention Program to comply with the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003. III. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be staff time involved with managing the program. IV. HISTORY AND BRIEF FACTS: The Federal Trade Commission has issued regulations requiring financial institutions and creditors to develop and implement identity theft prevention programs and policies. These identity theft prevention programs must provide for the identification, detection, and response to patterns, practices, or specific activities—known as"red flags"—that could indicate identity theft. The"Red Flag"rules apply to "financial institutions" and"creditors"with"covered accounts." Pasco is considered a"creditor" in that it extends credit to utility customers that are billed after they receive the goods and/or services. The Federal Trade Commission has granted a six month delay from the initial November 1, 2008 deadline. The program needs to be in place not later than May 1, 2009. V. DISCUSSION: Identity theft is a growing concern. The customer service (utility) staff currently has many procedures in place to minimize the chance of identity theft. Further training will be provided. We can all benefit from continuing education regarding identity theft and how to spot potential situations and/or prevent it from happening. VI. OTHER COMMENTS The Act requires approval and authorization of the initial program from the Board of Directors or City Council to comply. The program will be updated as needed. 3(d) DF.1�T URPHY ALLACE A T'T o R N i'. Y ti A T L A W MEMORANDUM DATE: October 20, 2008 TO: All Cities FROM: Kristin N. Eick Phil A. Olbrechts RE: FACTA Red Flag Guidelines The Federal Trade Commission has issued regulations requiring financial institutions and creditors to develop and implement written identity theft prevention programs by November 1, 2008,under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003 (FACTA). Municipal utilities are subject to these requirements, and the City Councils of all cities that operate utilities must adopt programs that meet the requirements of FACTA. These identity theft prevention programs must provide for the identification, detection, and response to patterns, practices, or specific activities-known as "red flags" -that could indicate identity theft. Accompanying this memo is a sample program that complies with FACTA requirements. Who must comply with FACTA? Financial institutions and"creditors"that maintain "covered accounts," as defined in the Act, must comply with FACTA's Red Flag requirements. Under FACTA, a"creditor"means an entity that regularly extends, renews, or continues credit.' Non-profit and government entities are included within this definition of"creditor."2 The Code of Federal Regulations establishes that the term "creditor" includes lenders such as banks, finance companies, automobile dealers, mortgage brokers, utility companies, and telecommunications companies.3 "Credit" is defined in the Act as"the right granted by a creditor to a debtor to defer payment of debt or to incur debts 16 C.F.R. §681.2(b)(5)(2008); 15 U.S.C. § 1681a(r)(5)(2006); 15 U.S.C. 169la(e)(2006).

"Covered accounts" include accounts that financial institutions or creditors offer or maintain primarily for personal, family, or household purposes, that involve or are designed to permit multiple payments or transactions, such as a credit card account,mortgage loan, automobile loan, margin account, cell phone account, utility account, checking account, or savings account.' The term "covered accounts" also includes any other account that the financial institution or creditor offers or maintains for which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk to customers or to the safety and soundness of the financial institution or creditor from identity theft, including financial, operational, or litigation risks.6 Because"covered accounts" specifically include utility accounts, municipalities deferring payment for services such as water, electric, or garbage collection must comply with FACTA. How do I comply with FACTA? FACTA requires that municipalities, as creditors, develop a written Identity Theft Protection Program that is appropriate for the size and complexity of the municipality.7 The Program must include elements to identify, detect, and respond to Red Flags. In addition, the Program must provide for a periodic updating process to reflect changes in risks to the creditor's customers.$ Each creditor is required to obtain approval of the initial written Program from either its board of directors or an appropriate committee of the board, i.e.,the City Council.9 The board of directors, a committee of the board, or an employee at the level of senior management must be assigned the duties of oversight, development, implementation, and administration of the Program.10 Further, staff must be trained appropriately and must oversee service providers providing services relating to the Act.11 Staff should prepare a report at least annually for the person specifically responsible for oversight of the program. This report should include an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Program with respect to opening accounts, existing covered accounts, service provider arrangements, significant incidents involving identity theft and responses, and recommendations for changes to the Program.12 What are"Red Flags?"

All Cities October 20, 2008 Page 3 Red Flags are patterns,practices, or specific activity that indicate the possible existence of identity theft.'3 There are five general categories of Red Flags. The Federal Trade Commission has also provided a list of 26 suggested Red Flags in the appendix to the Code of Federal Regulations. The five categories are: • Alerts or notifications from consumer reporting agencies or service providers, such as fraud detection services; • Presentation of suspicious documents, such as identification documents that have been forged or altered; • Presentation of suspicious personal identifying information, such as a suspicious address change or social security number; • Unusual use of or other suspicious activity relating to a covered account, such as identification of use of an account in a manner inconsistent with established patterns of activity on the account; and • Notices from customers, victims of identity theft, law enforcement, or other persons regarding identity theft in connection with covered accounts held by the creditor.14 Appropriate responses to Red Flags include: • Monitoring an account; • Contacting the customer; • Changing passwords and security codes; • Reopening an account with a new number; • Not opening a new account; • Closing an existing account; • Notifying law enforcement; and • Determining that no response is warranted under the particular circumstances.' 5 How is FACTA enforced? FACTA does not allow for private enforcement of the Red Flag regulations. However,the regulations are enforced by the Federal Trade Commission.16 If the creditor fails to develop and implement a Program,the Federal Trade Commission may enforce the failure as an unfair or deceptive act or practice in commerce." The consequences may include a cease and desist order from the Federal Trade Commission after a hearing and civil penalties not to exceed$2,500 per violation.18 " 16 C.F.R. § 681.2(b)(9). 14 16 C.F.R.Supplement A to App. § 1681 A- " 16 C.F.R.app. § 1681 A(IV). 16 15 U.S.C.§ 1681m(h)(8);see also Perry v.First Nat'l Bank,459 F.3d 816,819-20(7th Cir.2006). 17 15 U.S.C.§ 1681m(h)(8)(B); 15 U.S.C. § 1691s(a)(1).

It is important to remember,however, that the Red Flag Guidelines were designed to provide flexibility to the individual utility in adopting their Program. Because the process used to open new accounts and monitor existing accounts will vary by utility, not every Red Flag will be applicable to each utility. For example, the utility may not use credit reporting, and therefore, will not encounter Red Flags relating to consumer reports. Thus,the goal is to be aware of the Red Flags, remain vigilant in detecting those Red Flags that are applicable to a particular utility, and notify the Finance Director of the City if a Red Flag is encountered. As most cities will readily observe,the Red Flags have little relevance to the billing practices of city utilities. The Federal Trade Commission, responsible for enforcement of FACTA, offers no guidance on how city utilities can implement these policies other than to suggest"common sense." There is obviously little common sense in designating City utilities as"creditors" subject to FACTA. Implementing proactive measures to detect identity theft, such as comparing the names of all persons paying utility bills to the owners of property served, can be highly disruptive and costly to city operations. The recommended program minimizes costs as much as possible and is comparable to programs adopted throughout the country. More may be required of cities as court opinions and federal regulations further clarify the responsibilities of city utilities. KNE: RESOLUTION NO. 31 44 A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN IDENTITY THEFT PREVENTION PROGRAM TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE FAIR AND ACCURATE CREDIT TRANSACTIONS ACT OF 2003 WHEREAS, The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003, ("Red Flags Rule") requires certain financial institutions and creditors with "covered accounts" to prepare, adopt, and implement an identity theft prevention program to identify, detect,respond to and mitigate patterns,practices or specific activities which could indicate identity theft; and WHEREAS, the City maintains certain continuing accounts with utility service customers and for other purposes which involve multiple payments or transactions, and such accounts are "covered accounts" within the meaning of the Red Flags Rule; and WHEREAS,to comply with the Red Flags Rule, the City Council is required to approve the initial Identity Theft Prevention Program; now THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF PASCO, WASHINGTON HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS: Staff is hereby authorized and directed to implement the accompanying initial Identity Theft Prevention Program in accordance with, and to comply with,the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003. PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington, this 16th day of March, 2009. SIGNED in authentication of its passage this 16th day of March, 2009. Joyce Olson, Mayor ATTEST APPROVED AS TO FORM: Debra Clark, City Clerk Leland B. Kerr, City Attorney CITY OF PASCO IDENTITY THEFT POLICY I. BACKGROUND The risk to the City, its employees and customers from data loss and identity theft is of significant concern and can be reduced only through the combined efforts of every employee and contractor. II. PURPOSE The City adopts this sensitive information policy to help protect employees, customers, contractors and the municipality from damages related to the loss or misuse of sensitive information. This policy will: 1. Define sensitive information; 2. Describe the physical security of data when it is printed on paper; 3. Describe the electronic security of data when stored and distributed; and 4. Place the City in compliance with state and federal laws regarding identity theft protection. This policy enables the City to protect existing customers, reducing risk from identity fraud, and minimize potential damage to the City from fraudulent new accounts. The program will help to: I. Identify risks that signify potentially fraudulent activity within new or existing covered accounts; 2. Detect risks when they occur in covered accounts; 3. Respond to risks to determine if fraudulent activity has occurred and act if fraud has been attempted or committed; 4. Update the program periodically, including reviewing the accounts that are covered and the identity risks that are part of the program. III DEFINITIONS Identity Theft means fraud committed or attempted using the identifying information of another person without authority. A Covered Account means: 1. An account that a financial institution or creditor offers or maintains,primarily for personal, family, or household purposes that involves or is designed to permit multiple payments or transaction. Covered accounts include credit card accounts,utility accounts, checking accounts and savings accounts, and 2. Any other account that the financial institution or creditor offers or maintains for which there is a reasonable foreseeable risk to customers of to the safety and soundness of the financial institutions or creditor from identity theft, including financial,.operational, compliance, reputation or litigation risks. "Identifying information" is defined under the Rule as "any name or number that may be used, alone or in conjunction with any other information,to identify a specific person," including: name, address, telephone number, social security number, date of birth, government issued driver's license or identification number, alien registration number, government passport number, employer or taxpayer identification number, unique electronic identification number, computer's Internet Protocol address, or routing code. II IDENTIFICATION OF RED FLAGS. In order to identify relevant Red Flags,the Utility considers the types of accounts that it offers and maintains, the methods it provides to open its accounts, the methods it provides to access its accounts, and its previous experiences with Identity Theft. The Utility identifies the following red flags, in each of the listed categories: A. Suspicious Documents Red Flans 1. Identification document or card that appears to be forged, altered or inauthentic; 2. Identification document or card on which a person's photograph or physical description is not consistent with the person presenting the document; 3. Other document with information that is not consistent with existing customer information(such as if a person's signature on a check appears forged); and 4. Application for service that appears to have been altered or forged. B. Suspicious Personal Identifying Information Red Flags 1. Identifying information presented that is inconsistent with other information the customer provides (example: inconsistent birth dates); 2. Identifying information presented that is inconsistent with other sources of information(for instance, an address not matching an address on a credit report); 3. Identifying information presented that is the same as information shown on other applications that were found to be fraudulent; 4. Identifying information presented that is consistent with fraudulent activity(such as an invalid phone number or fictitious billing address); 5. Social security number presented that is the same as one given by another customer; 6. An address or phone number presented that is the same as that of another person; 7. A person fails to provide complete personal identifying information on an application when reminded to do so (however, by law social security numbers must not be required); and S. A person's identifying information is not consistent with the information that is on file for the customer. 2 C. Suspicious Account Activity or Unusual Use of Account Red Flags 1. Change of address for an account followed by a request to change the account holder's name; 2. Payments stop on an otherwise consistently up-to-date account; 3. Account used in a way that is not consistent with prior use(example: very high activity); 4. Mail sent to the account holder is repeatedly returned as undeliverable; 5. Notice to the Utility that a customer is not receiving mail sent by the Utility; 6. Notice to the Utility that an account has unauthorized activity; 7. Breach in the Utility's computer system security; and 8. Unauthorized access to or use of customer account information. D. Alerts from Others Red Flag 1. Notice to the Utility from a customer, identity theft victim, law enforcement or other person that it has opened or is maintaining a fraudulent account for a person engaged in Identity Theft. III DETECTING RED FLAGS. A. New Accounts In order to detect any of the Red Flags identified above associated with the opening of a new account, Utility personnel will take the following steps to obtain and verify the identity of the person opening the account: Detect 1. Require certain identifying information such as name, date of birth, residential or business address,principal place of business for an entity, driver's license or other identification; 2. Verify the customer's identity(for instance,review a driver's license or other identification card); 3. Review documentation showing the existence of a business entity, and 4. Independently contact the customer. B. Existing Accounts In order to detect any of the Red Flags identified above for an existing account, Utility personnel will take the following steps to monitor transactions with an account: 3 Detect 1. Verify the identification of customers if they request information (in person, via telephone, via facsimile,via email); 2. Verify the validity of requests to change billing addresses; and 3. Verify changes in banking information given for billing and payment purposes. IV PREVENTING AND MITIGATING IDENTITY THEFT' In the event Utility personnel detect any identified Red Flags, such personnel shall take one or more of the following steps, depending on the degree of risk posed by the Red Flag: A. Prevent and Mitigate 1. Continue to monitor an account for evidence of Identity Theft; 2. Contact the customer; 3. Change any passwords or other security devices that permit access to accounts; 4. Not open a new account; 5. Close an existing account; 6. Reopen an account with a new number; 7. Notify the Program Administrator for determination of the appropriate step(s)to take; 8. Notify law enforcement; or 9. Determine that no response is warranted under the particular circumstances. B. Protect customer identifying information In order to further prevent the likelihood of Identity Theft occurring with respect to Utility accounts, the Utility will take the following steps with respect to its internal operating procedures to protect customer identifying information: 1. Ensure that its website is secure or provide clear notice that the website is not secure; 2. Ensure complete and secure destruction of paper documents and computer files containing customer information; 3. Ensure that office computers are password protected and that computer screens lock after a set period of time; 4. Keep offices clear of papers containing customer information; 5. Request only the last 4 digits of social security numbers (if any); 6. Ensure computer virus protection is up to date; and 7. Require and keep only the kinds of customer information that are necessary for utility purposes. 4 V PROGRAM UPDATES The Financial Services Manager will serve as the Program Administrator. The Program Administrator will periodically review and update this Program to reflect changes in risks to customers and the soundness of the Utility from Identity Theft. In doing so, the Program Administrator will consider the Utility's experiences with Identity Theft situations, changes in Identity Theft methods, changes in Identity Theft detection and prevention methods, and changes in the Utility's business arrangements with other entities. After considering these factors, the Program Administrator will determine whether changes to the Program, including the listing of Red Flags, are warranted. If warranted,the Program Administrator will update the Program. VI. PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION. A. Oversight Responsibility for developing, implementing and updating this Program lies with the Identity Theft Committee for the City. The Committee is headed by the Program Administrator. The Utility Billing/Customer Service Manager shall also serve as a member of the committee. The Program Administrator may appoint other City staff to the committee as necessary. The Program Administrator will be responsible for the Program's administration, ensuring the appropriate training of staff, reviewing any staff reports regarding the detection of Red Flags and the steps for preventing and mitigating Identity Theft, determining which steps of prevention and mitigation should be taken in particular circumstances and considering and making periodic changes to the Program. B. Staff Training and Reports Personnel responsible for implementing the Program shall be trained either by or under the direction of the Program Administrator in the detection of Red Flags, and the responsive steps to be taken when a Red Flag is detected. Staff should prepare a report at least annually for the Program Administrator, including an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Program with respect to opening accounts, existing covered accounts, service provider arrangements, significant incidents involving identity theft and responses, and recommendations for changes to the Program. C.,Service Provider Arrangements In the event the City engages a service provider to perform an activity in connection with one or more accounts, the City will take the following steps to ensure the service provider performs its activity in accordance with reasonable policies and procedures designed to detect, prevent, and mitigate the risk of Identity Theft. 1. Require,by contract, that service providers have such policies and procedures in place; and 2. Require,by contract,that service providers review the City's Program and report any Red Flags to City staff. 5 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council March 11, 2009 TO: Gary Crutchfiel ty anager Regular Mtg.: 03/16/09 FROM; Rick White, Community & conomic Development Director SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement between the Port and City of Pasco I.

III. FISCAL IMPACT: Cost sharing with the Port not to exceed $15,000 IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A. City Council approved a Development Agreement for the Port of Pasco in January of 2009. The Development Agreement affects lands within the Big Pasco Industrial Center and sets standards for pennitted uses, design, public infrastructure installation, public access to the Columbia shoreline and phasing. B. The City owns land immediately west of the affected lands in the BPIC (Boat Basin), as do the owners of a number of private residences. The Port owns land immediately west of these lands (Tanks Farm Remediation Area). C. The residential properties north of the Boat Basin form an isolated residential district within a predominantly industrial area. The Tank Farm properties are undergoing environmental clean-up for petroleum removal. V. DISCUSSION: A. Taken together, the lands described above form the entire contiguous rivershore area west of Sacagawea Park and east of the Cable Bridge. With the Port's Master Plan and approved Development Agreement, there is an opportunity to begin a planning process for a coordinated effort at land use, infrastructure and amenity planning for the entire rivershore area east of the Cable Bridge. B. The planning process is expected to include an inventory of the physical conditions of the planning area and a public participation process. It is also expected to include recommendations for preferred land use, which will help identify financing options for public infrastructure. C. The proposed Interlocal Agreement provides framework for a joint planning effort and assigns a minority share of the costs (not to exceed $15,000) to the City, and the City to assume the lead in administering the planning process. The Port is responsible for the remainder of the costs (not to exceed $35,000). The final product is expected to be incorporated into the City's Comprehensive Plan. 3(e) RESOLUTION NO. �� A RESOLUTION ENTERING INTO AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH THE PORT OF PASCO WHEREAS, the City Council approved a Development Agreement with the Port of Pasco in February of 2009 affecting lands within the Big Pasco Industrial Center(EPIC); and WHEREAS, The City leases lands from the Corps of Engineers immediately west of the BPIC (Boat Basin); and WHEREAS, Residential properties north of the Boat Basin form an isolated residential district within a predominantly industrial area; and WHEREAS, the Port owns lands immediately west of the Boat Basin (Tank Farm remediation area); and WHEREAS, the Port of Pasco has engaged in a Master Planning process for the BPIC and has received a Shoreline Management Permit for a portion of the industrial lands in the BPIC; and WHEREAS, Interlocal Agreements are authorized by RCW 39.34 and permit local governments to enter into agreements within their respective jurisdictions;and WHEREAS, the proposed Interlocal Agreement provides a framework for a joint planning effort between the City and the Port and is expected to include an inventory of the physical conditions of the planning area, a public participation process, recommendations for preferred land use, options for the financing of public infrastructure and cost sharing of the planning process; and WHEREAS, the lands described above form the entire contiguous shoreline east of the Cable Bridge and west of Sacagawea Park and provide an opportunity for a coordinated effort of land use, infrastructure and amenity planning; NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO: Section 1.

Vacation Petition II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/ STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 3116: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No.314� , setting 7:00 p.m., Monday, April 20, 2009, as the time and date to conduct a public hearing to consider vacating a utility and access easement through Section 11, of Township 9 North, Range 29 East. III. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A. The owners and developers of the Northwest Commons subdivision have petitioned to vacate a waterline easement running north/south through the center of the Northwest Commons development. The developers have also petitioned to vacate an access easement through a portion of Northwest Commons Phase 1.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL 1 STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 3/16: Conduct Public Hearing: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. an Ordinance repealing PMC Chapter 23.11 and enacting a new PMC Title 28 dealing with critical areas and, further, authorize publication by summary only. 1I1. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: 1. In the early 1990's the Growth Management Act (GMA) required the city to adopt regulations for the protection of critical or sensitive environmental areas. Subsequent amendments to the GMA mandated cities and counties to update critical area ordinances using the best available science. 2. As required by the GMA a draft critical area ordinance was prepared for Planning Commission review in 2008. The Planning Commission held two workshops and two public hearings on a proposed critical area ordinance. Planning Commission workshops were held on August 21, 2008 and January 15, 2009. The public hearings were held on September 18, 2008 and February 19, 2009. 3. Following the September 2008 hearing the draft ordinance was forwarded to the State Department of Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED) for the required 60-day review by state agencies. CTED and the Department of Ecology made several suggestions for changes and corrections to the draft ordinance. The Planning Commission held its second hearing on the final draft during its February 19, 2009 meeting. V. DISCUSSION: Critical areas are defined by the GMA as wetlands, aquifer recharge areas with critical recharging effect on aquifers used for potable water, frequently flooded areas, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas and geological hazard areas. In an ecological or natural sense, these lands provide beneficial values and functions by restoring ground 7(a) water levels (as in aquifer recharge), serve as flood protection zones (wetlands) and provide critical food production areas for sustaining fish &wildlife (habitat). Geologically hazardous areas are deemed critical in the sense that they present potential hazards to life and property. These areas include lands that are susceptible to erosion, landslides, earthquakes and other geological hazards. The purpose of the critical area ordinance is to conserve and protect environmentally sensitive areas and to protect the public from losses due to seismic events and other geologic hazards. The adoption of a critical area ordinance by the city is not optional. It is a mandated requirement of the GMA. Because the critical area ordinances are part of the GMA requirements the City Attorney advises it will be necessary to hold a hearing prior to the adoption of the proposed code language. A hearing has been scheduled for March 16,2009. AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council March 5, 2009 TO: Gary Crutchfi i(Director anager Workshop Mtg.: 319109 Stan Strebel,A Regular Mtg.: 3/16/09 FROM: Jim Chase, Finance Manager SUBJECT: Use Tax on Natural Gas I. REFERENCE(S): 1. Proposed Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 319: Discussion 3/16: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. imposing a Use Tax on Natural Gas used within City Limits. III. FISCAL IMPACT: $30,000+ annually IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The city has collected utility/occupational tax for natural gas from various sources for decades. Cascade Natural Gas is the largest payer of the tax. As a result of deregulation by the state in the early 1980s, some businesses started purchasing their natural gas supplies from "brokers" (at discount rates) and contracted with Cascade Gas to transport the gas from point A to point B. Those "brokers" have also been required to pay the city's utility tax. B) A 2007 lawsuit involving a manufacturing company purchasing natural gas outside the city limits of the City of Tacoma and trucking it into Tacoma where it was used in their manufacturing process, originally favored Tacoma's taxing of the gas actually used within city limits. It was based on RCW 82.14.230 authorizing cities to impose a use tax for the privilege of using the natural gas. That decision was appealed and overturned last year by the State of Washington Court of Appeals. The court's decision agreed with that of the manufacturing company that RCW 82.12.010 indicates that "use" is the first act within the state by which the taxpayer takes or assumes dominion or control. The first act typically takes place outside of the city limits. That appeal has been presented to the Supreme Court for review and is pending. C) The effect of the court case, unless overturned by the Supreme Court, will reduce Pasco's utility tax income an estimated$30,000 annually. V. DISCUSSION: A) The Association of Washington Cities on behalf of more than 40 cities across the state,has asked the State Legislature to change the language in the state law so the use tax on natural gas can occur where the tax is used (House Bill 1422). B) Staff recommends adopting the proposed ordinance clarifying the tax on "brokered" natural gas as a "use tax." Doing so will minimize the 2009 loss of utility tax income, assuming legislative approval of HB 1422. 8(a) ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO IMPOSING A USE TAX ON NATURAL GAS AND ADDING A NEW SECTION TO CHAPTER 3.98 OF THE PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE WHEREAS, the City of Pasco currently requires all business within the City of Pasco to be licensed and pay the required fees, and, WHEREAS, the license fee for any Utility is the payment of the Utilities-Occupation Tax, and, WHEREAS, this tax would include businesses selling, manufacturing, or distributing natural gas for residential, commercial or industrial consumption, and WHEREAS, the Occupation-Utility Tax is currently eight and one-half percent (8.5%) of the gross operating revenues from such sales within the limits of the city, and WHEREAS, there are businesses that broker the sales of natural gas to customers inside city limits,whose sales may technically take place outside of Pasco city limits, and WHEREAS, in order to assure equity in the collection of a tax on all natural gas used within Pasco city limits, it is necessary to impose a Use Tax on the use of Brokered Natural Gas that is used within city limits, and WHEREAS, the rate of use tax on Brokered Natural Gas shall be set at the same rate as the Utility-Occupation Tax, NOW THEREFORE, , THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. There is hereby added a new section 3.98.022 to Chapter 3.98 of the Pasco Municipal Code to read as follows: 3.98.022 NATURAL GAS — USE TAX IMPOSED. There is hereby levied and shall be collected from every person within the City a use tax for the privilege of using natural gas within the City as a consumer. The tax shall be levied and collected in an amount equal to the value of the article used by the taxpayer multiplied by the rate imposed upon the occupation or business activity of furnishing or selling natural gas as provided in Section 5.32.040 (C) as now or hereafter amended. The amount shall be subject to such exemptions and exclusion and procedures as provided by RCW 82.12.022 and the rules of the State of Washington Department of Revenue adopted in accord therewith. Section 2. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect five (5) days after passage and publication. PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington and approved as provided by law this 16th day of March 2009. Joyce Olson Mayor ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: Debra L. Clark Leland B.

Ambulance Service Fund Financial History 2. Proposed Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 3/9109 DISCUSSION: 3116/09 MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. authorizing an increase in the monthly Ambulance Utility Fee, and to authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: See below IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: In 2007, after the Ambulance Utility Rate Study was completed by HDR, Inc., the City began charging a monthly ambulance utility fee of $3.00. Also, as a result of the rate study, the amount billed for an ambulance transport for residents was reduced to $660, from the previous rate of $950. The non-resident rate was also reduced to $990, from $1,140. The monthly ambulance utility fee of $3.00, which every residential and commercial location pays, generated a total of$693,937 for the utility in 2008. Ambulance transports and the related mileage fees billed during 2008 generated a "net" total of $835,857 (Medicare & Medicaid/DSHS write-offs totaled $591,344 and the amount sent to collection totaled $172,591). The City's General Fund is also required, per state law, to contribute to the utility. That amount totals $420,000 each year. Total revenues in the utility for 2008 amounted to $1,977,759. Total operating expenses (not including capital expenditures) for the utility in 2008 amounted to $2,035,240. This equates to an operating loss of about $57,480. Capital assets purchased in 2008 totaled about $59,277. This represents a shortfall in the fund of$116,757. 2009 budgeted revenues less budgeted operating expenditures indicate a shortfall of approximately $63,950. Capital assets budgeted totals $12,500 for an overall shortage of $76,450 (for 2009). V. ADDITIONAL DISCUSSION To recover the shortfall from 2008 and provide additional funding in 2009, a rate adjustment needs to be made. Following are several options: Option 1: The monthly fee could be increased to $3.60 (a 20% increase) and would generate approximately $135,000 of revenue. This would equate to an additional $7.20 per year for a single family residence. 8(b) Option 2: Increase transport fees by 23% to $815 resident and $1,225 non-resident. This would generate approximately the same dollar amount. This estimate calculation is more complex in that approximately two thirds of the transports are billed to Medicare or Medicaid/DSHS where the City is required to accept a reduced payment amount. The amount the City receives from Medicare for Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) for 2009 is $349.94 and $294.68 respectively. Staff then bills the client the authorized co-pay amount (usually $75 to $95), and writes off the remainder. The amount received from Medicaid/DSHS for ALS and BLS for 2009 is $168.43 and $115.34 respectively and the City writes off the remainder(there is no co- pay billed to the patient). Option 3: Provide additional General Fund support (in addition to the $420,000 it is already obligated to provide). VI. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The City of Richland's current monthly ambulance utility rate is $3.16. Their transport rate is $608.18 for residents and$912.27 for non-residents. The City of Kennewick's current monthly ambulance utility rate is $3.12. Their transport rates are $578.06 for residents and $867.09 for non-residents. Both Richland and Kennewick have lower percentages of Medicare and Medicaid/DSHS billings than Pasco. The City of Moses Lake current monthly fee is $3.58. The City of Sunnyside charges $3.75. p O C) O p O O O o O O ,., O O O O O 00 m �LO O O O N u7 C p o0 N P Q _ Lo p M co O P O N O 'D O r O N OD r Q) f- C Ol C) ID O N N 7 d n OO r O? 6s a) E N co r r E w CL _ O w O O O O O 1t V) t` U O O O �t r eft W O P P O O 00 � U r.. p ti N N 00 Cl) O O r p tD P O N PO 3 V) co 'R N h M V7 C) (D O N N U (O P I-T O O m N Q r r (V N r y} O U P (D M N cA LfJ f� 0 r 0 O Co O O 0 O r r C) N i` LO r M T N 'G I� M O O O O - n f6 V 0 O N " u?

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 3116: Motion: I move to approve Resolution No. authorizing the use of the Pasco Softball Complex for the 2009 Pasco All Class Reunion. III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) Representatives of the 2009 Pasco High All Class Reunion have requested a Special Events Permit to hold a portion of the reunion (Friday, August 7, 2009) at the Road 68 Softball Complex. B) In addition to food and display booths the event includes live bands and dancing and a proposed beer garden. From 800—2,000 participants are expected. C) PMC 9.20.020 prohibits the possession or consumption of liquor in City parks or recreation facilities without a special permit. Resolution 2879 authorizes staff to issue permits that allow liquor use for public events only at three specific locations: Peanuts Park, Farmer's Market and Wade Park (Water Follies only). While it could be argued that this event is not a public event, staff has been hesitant to issue permits at recreational facilities due to the City's longstanding practice of not issuing such permits. D) According to class reunion representatives, they have had difficulty locating the event at more traditional convention venues. Representatives have been invited to the meeting to discuss their event and answer questions. E) There are no conflicting events at the complex for the proposed date; softball leagues usually wind down by the end of July. F) In the event that Council decides to approve the event at the softball complex, staff suggests a fee of $1,000 in addition to the typical supervision liquor insurance and deposit requirements, owing to the administration and logistics processing required for the event. 8(C) (-Ay of Pasco city clews office 525 N 31"Ave PO Box 293 Pasco WA 99301 Ph: 509-545-3402 Fax:509-543-5727 www.pasco-wa.gov Special Event Application Applicant Information: { Applicant/Organization Name 64 A WV64 ❑ Corporation ❑ LLC ❑ Partnership ❑ Sole-Proprietor 2rOther UBI# FEIN # or $S# s Address j( C f r City Pik�& St�_ zip 1�3 Mailing Address _ �v `' .

REFERENCE(S): 1. Location Map 2. PMC Chapter 2.46 3. Proposed Resolution II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 3/16 MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. , authorizing call for bids for purchase of city property at 26`h Avenue and Brown Street. III. FISCAL IMPACT: To be determined IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The city acquired a parcel of property at the northwest corner of 26`h Avenue and Brown Street in 2007, to accommodate the realignment of South 26"' at the corner (see reference 1). The project has been completed and the remnant of the property is surplus to the city's needs. B) PMC Chapter 2.46 (reference 2) provides rules for the disposition of real property held by the city. The City Council discussed the options for disposition at its January 12 meeting and concluded that the parcel should be disposed by sealed bid to the highest bidder. Council also directed staff to advise as to a minimum value for the property. V. DISCUSSION: A) The parcel is simply too small to present any significant opportunity for new development (buildings); however, it does appear to be potentially useful for parking, given the adjacent businesses (see reference C). Another potential interest is the adjacent residential property. B) Staff has obtained advice from a commercial real estate broker to help identify an appropriate minimum value for the parcel and has shared that advice with City Council in executive session; all things considered, staff recommends the minimum value for the property be not less than $28,000. C) Staff recommends Council approve the proposed resolution with a minimum value fixed by City Council. 8(e) 4 t ._ N 9Q�I L I�ET r ] i i ; i o � aAV H192 p -- p4 of ca i E--4 "Q o � E--4 O CQ o � � CHAPTER 2.46 SALE OF CITY PROPERTY Sections: 2.46.010 AUTHORITY TO SELL REAL PROPERTY..................................................................51 2.46.020 MINIMUM PRICE OF REAL PROPERTY ....................................................................51 2.46.030 PROCEDURE FOR SALE OF REAL PROPERTY EXCEPTION............ ....................51 2.46.035 NEGOTIATED SALES ....................................................................................................52 2.46.040 ADVERTISEMENT OF SALE OF REAL PROPERTY PUBLICATION - POSTING. 52 2.46.050 CONTENTS OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE OF REAL PROPERTY...................52 2.46.060 OPENING BIDS FOR SALE OF REAL PROPERTY REJECTION..............................52 2.46.070 DEED TO REAL PROPERTY.........................................................................................53 2.46.080 AUTHORITY TO SELL PERSONAL PROPERTY........................................................53 2.46.090 MINIMUM PRICE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY..........................................................53 2.46.100 ADVERTISEMENT OF SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY BY CONSIGNMENT ORINTERNET AUCTION..............................................................................................53 2.46.110 ADVERTISEMENT OF SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY - PUBLICATION - POSTING..........................................................................................................................53 2.46.120 CONTENTS OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY ........54 2.46.130 OPENING BIDS FOR SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY—REJECTION.................54 2.46.140 SALE OF PERSONAL PROPERTY FOR CASH EXCEPTIONS..................................54 2.46.150 BILL OF SALE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY ...............................................................54 2.46.010 AUTHORITY TO SELL REAL PROPERTY.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 03116: MOTION: I move to approve the purchase of goods and services from Sierra Electric for the signal pole equipment for Argent and Road 84 and Argent and Road 80, in the amount of$54,447.79, including shipping. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Arterial Street Fund IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) In the June 16, 2008 meeting, Council approved financial assistance to the Pasco School District to facilitate the installation of certain improvements in conjunction with the new Chiawana High School. The District is required to install new signals at Argent and Road 84 and Argent and Road 80.

B) Staff has received three (3) quotes for the signal pole equipment. The low quote was received from Sierra Electric in the amount of $54,447.79, including shipping. The second lowest quote was received from Power City Electric in the amount of$56,438.00, including shipping. V.

Box 293, (525 North 3rd Avenue) Pasco, Washington 9930] +�.vw,pasco-�a,`,��, June 26, 2008 Saundra Hill, Superintendent Pasco School District 1215 W. Lewis Street Pasco, WA 99301 RE: Financial Commitment Dear Superintendent Hill: This letter is to convey the action of the Pasco City Council at its business meeting of June 16, 2008 in determining the extent to which the city will financially assist the Pasco School District in fulfilling the District's obligations attached to the city's special permit for the new Chiawana High School on Argent Road. In view of the extraordinary cost of the new high school and the associated sales tax receipts expected to be received by the city during its construction, the City Council approved the following financial commitments by the city: 50% of the traffic signal cost at the intersection of Road 84 and Argent Road; 100% of the cost of sidewalks on the south side of Argent Road; $250,000 towards the cost of required Argent Road improvements (curb to curb). Given the estimated cost of the traffic signal and sidewalks, the total dollar value of the city's commitment will approximate$465,000 and represent most of the sales tax receipts the city expects to receive from the project. In arriving at its decision, the City Council expressed its majority sentiment that the community at large is greatly benefited by the kind of cooperation this financial commitment represents. It also noted, however, the magnitude of financial assistance is a unique opportunity presented by the combination of riming and scale of the new high school project in relation to the community's recent economic and population growth. Such opportunities may not be as probable in the future. In closing, please be assured the city values its long-standing partnership with the District in many ways, most importantly for the efficiencies our mutual efforts deliver to Pasco's citizens and taxpayers. ;ity i er y, ary Crut field Manager GC/tlz cc: Cit Council b Alberts QUOTE SUMMARY SIGNAL POLE EQUIPMENT ARGENT-RD 84/ARGENT-RD 80 Total 1.
