2009 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
Date: December 4, 2009
To: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
Rick Terway, Administrative & Community Sery cis Director
From: Gretchen Conner, Interim Financial Services ager
Subject: 2009 OPERATING AND CAPITAL LNI VROVEMENTS PROJECTS BUDGET
SUPPLEMENT
As is traditionally the case, a budget supplement is required to increase the legal spending authority for
those items unanticipated or indeterminable at the time the 2009 Annual Operating and Capital
Improvements Projects Budgets were adopted.
2009 OPERATING BUDGET SUPPLEMENT
Resources for the 2009 Operating Budget Supplement will be unanticipated revenue, contributions from
active funds, and beginning and ending fund balances. The budget supplement ordinance will only list
those funds that will actually increase revenue and/or expenditure amounts. Those funds that are
utilizing ending fund balance will not be listed.
GENERAL FUND
The following departments require additional authority to cover unanticipated expenditures. PIease refer
to the attached Exhibit 1 to see the line items affected.
1. The Municipal Court Department requires a supplement of $45,800. The amount is between the
Municipal Court Division and Probation Services and is primarily related to mandated
expenditures which the court has no control over. Necessary increases in the Municipal Court
Division are $15,900 for Court Appointed Attorneys; $22,250 for Interpreters; $2,400 for Judge
Pro-Tem; and $2,000 in Postage. In Probation Services, increases are $1,450 in State Industrial
and $1,800 in Office Supplies.
2, The Administrative & Community Services Department requires a supplement of$40,000 relating
to legal services that are anticipated to exceed the budget by year end,
3. The Community Development Department requires a supplement of$20,000. This increase is in
the Permits and Certifications Division and pertains to unanticipated professional services costs
related to SAFEbuilt.
4. The Public Works Engineering Division requires a supplement totaling $95,300. Of this amount
$63,300 is for increased professional services related to Powerline Road which will be offset by a
transfer-in from the Arterial Street Fund - Traffic Impact Fees. The balance consists of$21,000 in
salaries and benefits for salaries, overtime and unemployment costs; $5,000 in As-Built Surveying;
$1,000 in additional telephone costs; and $5,000 related to the unanticipated replacement of a
copier in 2009.
1
2009 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
5. Non-Departmental reflects that a General Fund supplement totaling $201,100 is needed to cover
unanticipated as well as authorized but currently unbudgeted expenditures of fund balance for
2009. The Non-Departmental supplement shows Operating Transfers-Out totaling $358,200, and
Interfund Loans to other funds totaling $1,206,000. The loans will provide the associated funds
with a positive cash balance at year-end and will not accrue any interest as they will be made in
December 2009 and repaid in January 2010. The individual funds and the respective transfers or
loans are not listed here as they are detailed in the "Other Operating Funds" section of this
memorandum.
The total amount of the 2009 General Fund's supplemental budget expenditure increases is
S1,765,300. This can be covered by reducing the General Fund Ending Fund Balance budget by
that same amount. The end result is that no additional budget authority is needed for the General
Fund.
OTHER OPERATING FUNDS
Other operating funds require a supplement of$421,500 which can be covered by a combination of new
revenue including transfers-in from other funds and/or a draw-down on Ending Fund Balance in the
respective fund.
CITY STREET FUND
The City Street Fund requires $40,000 in additional spending authority for various Street Fund Line
items. In Traffic Control Device Maintenance, $20,000 is needed to cover the cost of thermoplastic for
intersections that had not been done in the past years. In Snow and Ice Removal, an increase of$20,000
is needed in salary and benefit line items. The offsetting amount will come from an Operating Transfer
from the General Fund. A negative cash balance is not anticipated at this time; therefore, no interfund
loan is contemplated in this fund.
ARTERIAL STREET FUND
The Arterial Street Fund requires $204,400 in additional spending authority. Of this amount, $141,100
pertains to professional services expenditures to CH2M Hill for to the Lewis Street Overpass, and the
offset for this will come from the General Fund in the form of an Operating Transfer in to the Arterial
Street Fund. To cover professional services costs within the Engineering Division pertaining to
Powerline Road, additional spending authority of $63,300 is needed. The offset for this amount will
come from Traffic Impact Fees in the Arterial Street Fund, and will be handled as an Operating Transfer
to the General Fund.
Additionally, the Arterial Street Fund will require a $1,000,000 interfund loan in order for this fund to
have positive cash balance at year end. The loan will be repaid in January. This short-term loan results
from timing of payments compared to receipt of grant and other State revenues.
2
2009 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUND
The Community Development Block Grant Fund requires a $165,000 interfund loan in order for the
fund to have positive cash balance at year end. The loan will be repaid in January. No increase in the
budget is needed.
ML KING COMMUNITY CENTER
In the MLK Community Center Fund, additional spending authority is needed in the amount of$20,900
for salary and benefits,janitorial services and building repairs and maintenance costs that are anticipated
to exceed the adopted budget by year-end. The offsetting amount will come from an Operating Transfer
from the General Fund. Also, an interfund loan in the amount of $4,000 is necessary in order for the
fund to have positive cash balance at year end. The loan will be repaid in January.
AMBULANCE SERVICES FUND
A $22,000 interfund loan is needed to provide a positive cash balance at the year end. The loan will be
repaid in January.
SENIOR CENTER OPERATING FUND
An additional $4,500 in spending authority is needed for various Senior Center line items. The
offsetting amount will come from an Operating Transfer from the General Fund.
TRAC DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATING FUND
An additional $151,700 in spending authority is needed this year to cover necessary subsidy payments to
TRAC including Pasco's share of any operating losses. This higher amount includes three components:
1) $83,050 in payments in March of this year for settlement of final 2008 operating losses; 2) $25,000 in
additional subsidy payments for projected 2009 operating losses, and 3) $43,650 in higher-than-
budgeted monthly subsidy amounts for 2009. A final settlement for 2009 operating losses will occur in
February or March of 2010; however, the exact amount is not yet known. The offset for the 2009
increase will come in the form of an Operating Transfer from the General Fund. This amount will also
provide for a positive cash balance in the fund at year-end.
STADIUM AND CONVENTION CENTER FUND
An amount of$15,000 is needed in the form of an interfund loan to provide for a positive cash balance
in the fund at year-end. The loan will be repaid in January.
WATER/SEWER FUND
It is important to mention that many line items are expected to exceed budget in this fund; however,the
overages are anticipated to be offset with under-expenditures in other line items; therefore, no additional
spending authority is contemplated.

2009 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
2009 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET SUPPLEMENT
During the course of the year some capital improvements projects will exceed their original
appropriation; or were not included in the 2009 Capital Improvements Projects Budget; therefore, a

increased authority is $385,000. The projects needing additional authority have been reviewed and

2009. The Development Agreement affects lands within the Big Pasco Industrial Center
(BPIC) and sets standards for permitted uses, design, public infrastructure installation,
public access to the Columbia shoreline and phasing.
B. The City owns (or controls by long-term lease agreement) 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.
D. In March 2009 the City and the Port entered into an interloeal agreement to share the cost
of creating a master plan for the Boat Basin/Tank Farm area. This agreement established
the City as the lead in a planning effort for the area with cost sharing on a 30/70 basis
($15,000 City maximum; $35,000 Port maximum).
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 coordinated
planning process for land use, infrastructure and amenity planning for the entire
rivershore area east of the Cable Bridge.
B. The planning process will include an inventory of the physical conditions of the planning
area and a public participation process. It will also include recommendations for
preferred land use, infrastructure, capital needs and design guidelines.
C. The planning process is expected to be complete by July 1, 2010 and incorporated into
the City's Comprehensive Plan.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
12/14: DISCUSSION
12/21: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , an Ordinance amending
PMC Titles 19 & 25 dealing with locational standards for mobile
homes and recreational vehicles and, further, authorize
publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. In 2008 the State Legislature amended State Law to prohibit cities from excluding
mobile homes from mobile home parks based on the age or dimensions of the mobile
home. The Pasco Municipal Code dealing with mobile homes is in conformance with
the new law; however, the local definition for"mobile home" needs to be amended to
conform with the State definition.
B. State Law was further amended in 2009 to preclude cities from adopting regulations
that would prevent the placement of recreational vehicles in mobile homes parks as
primary residences. The cun.-ent Pasco Municipal Code prohibits the use of
recreational vehicle as primary residences in mobile home parks.
C. On October 15, 2009 the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider
amendments necessary to ensure conformance between the Pasco Code and recent
changes in State Law.
D. 'Following the public hearing and additional deliberations on November 19, 2009, the
Planning Commission recommended the City Council adopt the proposed code
amendments contained in Reference#l.
I. DISCUSSION:
A. The proposed code amendment modifies the definition of "mobile homes", "park
models", "recreational vehicles" and "primary residence" all in conformance with
State Law.
13. While the new State Law prohibits the city from excluding recreational vehicles as
primary residences in mobile home parks, it does permit adoption of local safety and
sanitation standards. Section 8 of the proposed ordianance contains a number of
safety and sanitation standards.
C. Following Council review of the proposed code amendment the draft ordinance will
be placed on the December 21, 2009 agenda for Council action.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE relating to zoning and amending PMC Title 19 and 25 dealing with

WHEREAS, cities have the responsibility to regulate and control the physical
development within their borders and ensure that the public health, safety and welfare arc
maintained; and,

WHEREAS, the Revised Code of Washington (35A.21.312) precludes a city from
adopting an ordinance that has the effect, directly or indirectly, of preventing the use of a
recreational vehicle as a primary residence in a manufactured/mobile home community except as
provided in RCW 35A.21.312 (4); and,
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that to address changes in State law it is

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 19, 2008
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Dave McDonald, City Planner
SUBJECT: Code Amendment Title 19 & 25 dealinz with RV's and Residential Parks
On October 15, 2009 the Planning Commission held a public hearing to consider
proposed amendments to Title 19 and Title 25 dealing with mobile homes and
recreational vehicles. Action on the proposed amendments was tabled until the
November 19th Planning Commission meeting.
As explained at the October hearing in 2008 the State Legislature amended the
State Law by prohibiting cities from excluding mobile homes or manufactured
homes from mobile home parks based on the age or dimensions of a mobile or
manufactured home. The Pasco Municipal Code does not restrict the location of
mobile or manufactured homes in mobile home parks because of age or
dimensions. If a mobile or manufactured home is older than 10 years it must have
a life safety inspection performed by the Department of Labor & Industries prior to
being issued a Pasco placement permit. The law allows cities to require compliance
with fire and safety regulations when considering the issuance of permits for the
placement of a manufactured home in a mobile home park. The Pasco Municipal
Code is in compliance with State Law; however, our definition for mobile homes
includes certain dimensions for both widths and lengths. The State definition does
not include dimensions. The attached code amendment modifies the Pasco
definition for mobile homes to conform with the State definition.
The State Law dealing with mobile home parks was further amended in 2009 to
preclude cities from adopting regulations that would directly or indirectly prevent
the placement of a recreational vehicle in mobile home parks to be used as a
primary residence. The State law however does permit cities to develop safety and
other regulations related to the use of an RV as a primary dwelling unit in mobile
home parks.
During the October hearing the Planning Commission considered a number of fire
and safety options for imposition on RV's used a primary residences in mobile home
parks. Those options have been reviewed by the city's legislative consultant and as a
result the consultant recommended the city focus placement standards for RV's
around the areas of sanitation and hygiene as emphasized in the State Lain.
Accordingly staff has modified the proposed code amendments to focus on those
areas emphasized in the law.
t
Findings to support the adoption of the proposed ordinance are listed below.
Findings of Fact
1) The City of Pasco has enacted development regulations as required by the
Growth Management Act that encourage orderly growth and development.
2) The City's development regulations include provisions for the location of
manufacture homes, mobile homes and recreational vehicles within the City.
3) The Revised Code of Washington (35A.21.312) precludes a city from restricting
the location of mobile homes or manufactured homes in mobile home parks or
manufactured home communities based on the age or dimension of a mobile
home or manufactured home.
4) The Revised Code of Washington (35A.21.312) precludes a city from adopting
an ordinance that has the effect, directly or indirectly, of preventing the use of
a recreational vehicle as a primary residence in a manufactured/mobile home
community except as provided in RCW 35A.21.312 (4).
5) The Revised Code of Washington Section 35A.21.312 (4) authorizes the
imposition of safety and sanitation standards for a recreational vehicle used in
mobile home park as primary residence.
Recommendation
MOTION: I move the Planning Commission adopt the Findings of Fact
and conclusions as contained in the November 19, 2009 staff memo on
code amendments for Title 19 and 25.
MOTION: I move the Planning Commission recommend the City
Council adopt the proposed code amendments modifying PMC Title 19 and
PMC Title 25 as attached to the November 19, 2009 staff memo to the
Planning Commission.

B. CODE AMENDMENT Title 19 & 25 Dealing with RV's and
Residential Parks (City-wide) (MF# CA 09-003)
Chairman Samuel read the master file number and asked for comments from
staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, introduced the topic
and stated in early 2009 the State Legislature changed the State Law by
prohibiting local entities from precluding RV's as primary residences in mobile
home parks. The new law prohibits the city from creating an ordinance that
directly or indirectly precludes RV's from mobile home parks but does allow the
city to establish safety standards related to the placement of RV's in mobile
home parks. The proposed ordinance was developed by using the building code,
plumbing code and manufactured home regulations as a reference guide for
safety standards. The code needs additional review by the City Attorney to
determine if the proposal meets the intent of the legislation or whether or not it
is too far reaching. It was suggest the hearing be held followed by a motion to
table action on the proposed ordinance until it can be further reviewed for
consistency with the new law.
Chairman Samuel asked for an explanation of what would be considered further
than the law.
Mr. White stated there was a provision in the proposal that requires certain
insulation values. That may be an example of going beyond the intent of the
legislation.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, reviewed the proposed ordinance. It was
explained the State definitions for mobile homes and RV's are different than the
city's definition and therefore the proposal changes the city's definitions. The
proposed safety standards were then reviewed for the benefit of the Planning
Commission
Chairman Samuel asked if city staff looked at ordinances from other cities like
Yakima addressing the subject.
Mr. McDonald stated that the city's Growth Management resource person with
the Department of Commerce in Spokane stated that Pasco appears to be the
first city in Eastern Washington to address the new State Law.
Commissioner Little asked about the community restroom requirements for
hygiene.
Mr. McDonald stated the standards in the Uniform Plumbing Code are designed
to address sanitation requirements.
Chairman Samuel asked how many mobile parks or RV parks have communal
restroom facilities.
Mr. McDonald stated there were at least three.
Chairman Samuel opened the hearing for public comment and after three calls
for comments the hearing was closed.
Commissioner Anderson stated the Commission needs to be mindful of the folks
that live in the RV units and need to have the safety protections. Commission
Anderson supported the more restrictive language.
Commissioner Kempf stated she was in support of the more restrictive language.
Commissioner Kempf stated RV's were not built for permanent residences and
should not be used for that purpose.
Chairman Samuel stated RV's were never designed and built to be permanent
residences. The Chairman felt RV's needed to be safe for the occupants,
surrounding property owners and the community in general. RV's needed to
meet standards that are similar to other permanent dwellings.
Commission Little moved, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that the
Planning Commission continue the matter on the proposed Code Amendment for
Title 19 and 25 dealing with RV's and Residential Parks to the November
Planning Commission meeting. The motion passed unanimously.

A. CODE AMENDMENT Title 19 & Dealing with RV's and
Residential Parks (Citywidel (City of Pasco)
IMF# CA 09-0031
Chairman Samuel read the master file number and asked for comments from
staff.
Staff stated at the October hearing the Planning Commission considered
various amendments to Title 19 & 25 dealing with definitions and use of
recreational vehicles as primary residences in mobile home parks. Staff further
explained the City's Lobbyist had indicated the direction taken in the initial code
amendment was going further than the State Legislature intended. Based on
that word of caution, staff requested action on the proposed amendment be
tabled until the November meeting. In the meantime, staff continued the
discussion with the State Lobbyist and the recommendation was to focus on the
life, health and safety standards, primarily on hygiene measures. These would
include plumbing and utility connections and possibly the use and location of
propane tanks. With that in mind, the draft ordinance was modified to address
some minor safety items and the hygiene measures identified in the bill. The
proposal before the Planning Commission will not jeopardize the relationships
that were forged as a result of the compromise bill that was achieved this last
Legislative Session.
Chairman Samuel stated originally staff presented the proposed ordinance with
a number of requirements that have since been removed. The Chairman
explained the modifications dealing primarily with plumbing, gas and hygiene
facilities for sewage, will accomplish the protection of other residents in
mobile/RV parks and allow us to move forward without ending up back in court.
It appears that we are the first community going forward on this.
Again Staff explained the new Law was a compromise reached on the city's
behalf and request. The original bill would have literally preempted any local
regulation of RV's used as primary residences.
Commissioner Hay moved, seconded by Commissioner Little, that the Planning
Commission adopt the finding of fact and conclusions as contained in the
November 19, 2009 staff memo on Code Amendments for Title 19 & Title 25. The
motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Hay further moved, seconded by Commissioner Anderson, that
the Planning Commission recommends the City Council adopt the proposed
Code Amendments, modifying PMC Title 19 &, PMC Title 25 as attached to the
November 19, 2009 staff memo to the Planning Commission. The motion passed
unanimously.
AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council December 10,2009
FROM: Gary Crutch lanager Workshop Mtg.: 12/14//09
Regular Mtg,: 12/21/09
SUBJECT: Interlocal Agr ment for Tri-City Metro Drug Task Force
I. REFERENCE:
A. Proposed Interlocal Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
12/14: Discussion
12/21: MOTION: I move to approve the Tri-City Drug Task Force Interlocal Agreement
with the cities of Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, Benton and Franklin
Counties and, further, authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement.
ITI. FISCAL IMPACT:
Two full-time police officers
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The Tri-City Metro Drug Task Force was formed by Interlocal agreement in 1987, with
the cities of Pasco, Kennewick, 'Richland, West Richland, Connell, Prosser and Benton
and Franklin Counties as members. The agreement was entered into to provide
centralized supervision and administration of local narcotics investigations and
enforcement in Benton and Franklin Counties, The City of Kennewick provided
administrative support of the Task Force until January of 1990; at that time, Pasco
assumed the support role.
B) In June of 1996, the Interlocal agreement was modified when the cities of Prosser and
Connell no longer were able to participate in the Task Force. At that time the City of
Pasco agreed to take over financial and administrative support along with the operational
management of the Task Force. The City of Pasco provided a police captain at one
quarter-time to provide administrative oversight to the Task Force, along with a full-time
police sergeant to supervise the operations of the task force and one full-time
investigator. The City of Kennewick provided two investigators, while Richland, West
Richland, Benton and Franklin Counties provided one investigator each to the Task
Force,
C) In July of 2009, the City of Kennewick agreed to become the financial, administrative
and operational jurisdiction for the Metro Drug Task Force. The transfer of Task Force
administration and operations required a change in the interlocal agreement with the
cities of Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, Benton and Franklin Counties being identified as
members. The City of West Richland is no longer a participant in the Task Force. The
City of Richland, Benton and Franklin Counties have agreed to dedicate one investigator
each to the Task Force, The City of Pasco intends to dedicate two investigators. The
City of Kennewick agrees to provide a police captain to act as the one quarter-time
administrator for the Task Force and will provide a police sergeant full-time to supervise
Task Force operations and one hall-time investigator.
V. DISCUSSION:
The only notable changes are as follows: the proposed agreement transfers the
management and operational control of the Task Force to Kennewick. Additionally, the
agreement includes a 120-day participant withdrawal clause and an acknowledgement that
early withdrawal will result in the forfeiture of any equity or assets. Each party's
manpower commitment is limited to what their respective budgets will allow.
Distribution of assets will now be based on each party's cumulative manpower
commitment. And finally, a liability clause has been expanded and provides some
direction,in the event of suit.

RECITALS
1. Prior to 1987,the Cities of Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland, and the
Counties of Benton and Franklin, through their law enforcement agencies, maintained a
working agreement for the purpose of combating controlled substances trafficking within
the Tri-Cities community. This quasi-organized effort was known as the Metropolitan
Enforcement Group ("Metro").
2. The original parties entered into an Interlocal Agreement in 1987 which provided a more
formal organization in order to centralize supervision and to qualify for federal funds
dispensed by Washington State's Department of Community Trade and Economic
Development("CTED"). In November of 1990, the Cities of Connell and Prosser desired
to also participate in the group, and the original parties desired to include them. In October
of 1991 and January of 1994, respectively, the cities of Prosser and Connell decided to no
longer participate. In December 2004 the City of West Richland also decided to no longer
participate. This Agreement is to formalize the agreement between the remaining parties.

3. The financial officer of Kennewick initially administered a Metro Drug Forfeiture Fund
consisting of the proceeds of forfeitures, federal grants and court ordered contributions. In

Commerce or a successor state agency will continue to administer these funds.
S. Based upon established criteria, the parties are eligible to apply for a grant to assist them in

7. The City of Kennewick has consented to act as the applicant jurisdiction with regard to
future applications to Department of Commerce and any funds supplied by a Department of
Commerce grant.
8. Chapter 39.34 RCW provides that local jurisdictions may enter into cooperative

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City has long operated its own municipal court, in accordance with RCW
Chapter 3.50. State law requires a Municipal Court Judge to be appointed to four-
year ten-ns, subject to confirmation of the City Council.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Pasco Municipal Court has been operated under the direction of Mary Berndt-
Ramirez for 24 years, During that tenure, the Court's caseload has grown from about
2,000 per year to an expected 10,000 in 2009. Judge Ramirez has guided the
evolution of the Court throughout the city's rapid growth process, incorporated many
changes along the way (probation services; work crews; electronic home monitoring;
etc.), all aimed (successfully) at minimizing the cost of the court system (and
associated jail cost). In short, Judge Ramirez has been mindful of the taxpayers'
interest while fulfilling the Court's obligation to fairly and effectively administer
justice for misdemeanor crimes committed within the city. Thus, reappointment is
recommended for another four-year term.

pay scales using 90% of the October-October B/C western cities CPI-U. 90% of
the CPI-U for October-October B/C western cities is -0.09%. However, the Fire
union contract reflects 100% CPl with a minimum of 2.5%. Both of the
Operating Engineers contracts reflect 90% of CPI, but with a minimum of'1%. A
COLA of 1% is recommended for 2010 for both non-represented groups
