III. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE IV. HISTORY AND FAC'T'S BRIEF: A. As a transportation, agricultural and food processing center, the Pasco street system and adjacent State highways are used to convey a large amount of goods through a large and local trucking industry, Many of the drivers and operators of heavy trucks live within the City and nearby region, essentially using Pasco as a "base" for their operations. This has resulted in the on and off-street parking and storage of tractors, trailers and equipment necessary for trucking activities. In addition, there are locations in the community that have reoccurring instances of illegal loading/unloading from the public street. l3. It is becoming increasingly common to see heavy truck parking and storage on City streets (particularly east of US 395), vacant lots (south of "A" Street and east of 10`x' Avenue)and in and around commercial areas in all parts of Pasco. Often this parking and storage is accompanied by various maintenance and repair activities (wheel replacement, trailer repair...). C. Parking and storage of trucks on public streets and vacant lots present issues of public concern. These include: safety of pedestrians and vehicles using the street system for travel; street drainage and maintenance and deposits of motor fuels, lubricants and litter on street and unimproved surfaces. In addition, on - street storage/parking does not have security measures that prevent theft and vandalism and poses a problem of equity for those businesses that provide proper storage for their truck fleets. D. The Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) contains a variety of regulations on parking and storage of trucks on City streets. In particular, the PMC restricts parking and operation of trucks in residential zones and establishes truck routes on specific streets. The PMC is not as restrictive on the storage and use of City streets in commercial and industrial areas. In addition, PMC 12.36 "Concurreney" should clearly indicate that licensing a business (such as a truck parking lot) requires necessary street improvements so that such lots are established via improved rights of way. E. Council considered the proposed PMC amendments atthe Workshop meetings of.Tune 13 and June 27,2011. 8(a) V. DISCUSSION: A. The issue of using City streets for unloading/loading of goods should be addressed through a combination of signage and increased enforcement. Selected street locations used for unloading/loading of goods may need definitive signage related to "Load ing/Utnloading, Parking, Stopping and Standing" followed up with vigorous enforcement through citations. This will be staff intensive in the immediate term, but should result in a solution of the problem at particular locations. B. To address the issue of using City streets for parking and storage of trucks and related equipment and trucking activities, staff is proposing code amendments as contained in Reference 41 (amendment to Title 10 P141C) to provide the Police Department the ability to cite operators/drivers of heavy trucks using City streets for truck storage, This type of enforccincttt action is staff intensive and usually will be complaint driven, The draft Ordinance has a grace period time limit of two hours. If a truck is parked on a public street and is not loading or unloading, is not conducting a business activity or the street is adjacent to vacant land —then a grace period of two hours is appropriate before a citation can be issued. In addition, businesses providing services related to heavy trucks should have appropriate facilities for parking— thereby minimizing the need for a longer grace period. C. The issue of using vacant lots for truck storage accessed through unimproved rights-of- way can be addressed by Reference #2 (amendment to Title 12) which defines business licensing and various permitting activities as a "'Development Activity" requiring concurrent street improvements. Truck storage and parking is a permitted use in the C-3 and Industrial zones, but not on unimproved lots and not through unimproved streets without paving and drainage, This proposed amendment will provide staff clear code support when encountering this problem, This is likely to be staff intensive to enforce, often involving the assistance of the City Attorney. D. The issue of the City providing facilities for truck parking/storage was raised from the context of establishing new rules that would require off-street parking facilities. As a matter of practice, the City tries to avoid competing with private enterprise. Local demand for secure and off-street parking/storage appears to have created reasonable market choices for such facilities. It may be possible to increase the supply of parking locations by leasing available City property, to an operator of a parking/storage facility on a case by case basis, as long as the lease reflected the property's value and the City delegated operation of the facility to a private party. E. The existing PMC defines the "maximum gross vehicle weight" as the scale weight of any vehicle including trailers and semi-trailers to which shall be added the maximum load to be carried as set by a license application or as designated on the vehicle (see Reference#1). That section of the proposed amendment to Title 10 PMC also sets 14,000 lbs gross vehicle weight as the limit before a citation can be issued for on—street parking or storage. Existing language in Title 10 prohibits trucks exceeding 14,000 lbs gross vehicle weight from parking in residential areas unless making deliveries. F. Staff suggests a 30-day effort to promote awareness of the change in regulation using direct mailings to the local trucking/transportation industry, PSC-TV, website information and warning notices, prior to issuing citations.

S PASCO CITY HALL PECENED April G,2011 CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE Gary Crutchfield Pasco City Manager 525 N Third Ave. Pasco,WA 99301 Re:Semi Truck Storage on California Ave. Sublecl Request for Pasco Government to take action to agate the issue. Dear Mr. Crutchfield, I have previously sect: a request to your office to assist in the issue of commercial semi-trucks and trailers utilizing out street to operator and locate their business without purchasing land or building or paying taxes. Originally it was the Lorenzo Trucking firm and the city won out on that issue. They purchased land and conducted their business from that location.That was multiple years ago and I appreciate the assistance on that issue as it prevented us from selling this location and moving our business to a community that values it's businesses. Times have changed again, for several years I have worked with code enforcement and the police officers that man tills afea in an attempt to keep the trucking business from utilizing this area as their offices and maintenance facilities. Mitch has been a great resource however he is limited by the codes and lack of interest in resolving this issue by the city engineers. The city engineers have told me that California Ave is an overflow for the truck traffic off of Oregon. l find that hard to believe as California is a land locked street on bath ends as it dead heads ar both ends. They tell me they cannot put up loading zones or no parking signs to assist the business on the street from having commercial trucks and trailers stored in front of our business.Yet code enforcement tells me tha-it is illegal for trucks to park and use this street for storage east of California. The bottom line is no business should have to contend with or compete with trucking business operating from public streets when they use the streets for storage of their corporate equipment,and maintain their equipment while parked on the public streets.They use the school parking lot as an employee parking lot for their drivers, They use the land next to the street for their trash disposal, while all other licensed business in the commuwtq, have to pay for the storage,maintenance facilities,offices,and ETC for their business. Attached you will find photographic records since September of 2010 detailing what we contend with every single day.I have been told that the parking time is limited.However you will find in these photos trailers stored on the street since September 2010. It is the same group day in and day out. DKB, Inc. owns the property we operate from and have enjoyed seeing the commercial growth in this area. Our firm is currently looking to expand our facilides in the near future. The principals of our film have to determine if we invest the funds will it be a wise investment. Without some cliange in how the trucks and rrucking firms are allowed to use the street in front of our facility, we will be forced to took to another commua-iry and take our 60 employees elsewhere. 902 N CAS.I FOR N1A AV e, TRI-CITIGS, %X'A 99701 PiiCN£ 509.545.38RS - FAX; 509.54S-3R80 \V%'w.1DKI31NC,NET -2— April G,2011 I am looking forward to your input on how the City of Pasco will be addressing these issues to the near future.

REFERENCE(S): 1. Map 2. Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/ STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 06127: Discussion 07/05: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. adding parking restrictions on certain streets, and further, authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) Due to a recently constructed apartment complex on 22nd Avenue, a review and update of the parking ordinance was necessary. Turning buses cannot turn out of the transit facility when cars are parked across the street. The parking restriction is required to improve bus mobility at the intersection. Engineering and Police Department staff reviewed this area and are recommending additional restrictions. B) Code enforcement has received several complaints from property owners at the end of Beech Avenue. The property owners/residents (zoned residential) at the end of Beech Avenue about the southern Right of Way line of James Street(zoned commercial). On James Street there are several commercial properties. On these properties is a Western States dealership as well as other trucking companies. The resident complaints mainly consist of excessive noise due to trucks parked on the south side of James Street overnight waiting for some of the businesses to open for sen ice and deliveries. The trucks and/or reefer trailers are rutuiuig as the truck drivers sleep in their trucks waiting for the business to open. The noise of the running equipment is the issue. Restriction of parking on James Street behind the residential area would give the residents relief from the noise problem. In addition, it is recommended to restrict parking on the north side of James Street to prohibit the chance of commercial vehicles using the opposite side of the street. C) After a review of accident data, it was determined that there was a history of collisions at the intersections of 33" and Sylvester, 14`h and Clark, and 14`s and Lewis. With an above average accident rate of vehicles entering the intersection, a comprehensive review of the intersections was performed. One finding of the review was the high number of right angle collisions. This helped determine that a cause of the collisions could be related to intersection visibility. Per the WSDOT Design Manual vision triangles were calculated using the current 25 mph speed limit on all the streets, with the exception of Lewis Street, which is 35 mph. Due to on-street parking at these intersections, visibility may be restricted. As an initial measure to reduce collisions at these intersections, parking should be removed to improve intersection visibility, D) The Public Works Facilities have received resident complaints stemming from commercial vehicles parked along the east side of Road 36. The Post Office contracts out some of the mail handling/transporting responsibilities to outside companies. These companies have been reported to our Public Works facilities by 8(b) residents about extended on-street parking and loading/unloading work. This is a residential collector street with few businesses that are located on or near Court Street. It would be unfeasible to restrict parking on the west side of the street as well considering the street is too narrow due to undeveloped shoulders. V. DISCUSSION: A) This ordinance amends Section 10.56.080 (Schedule 111, Parking Prohibited at All Times on Certain Sireele) of the Pasco Municipal Code to add and/or revise the following streets to the list of prohibited parking streets. No Parking on West Side: N 22nd Ave—W Henry Pl South 550' No Parkiag on South Side: E James St—from end of E James St to 400' west No Parking on North Side= E James St—from end of E James St to 340' west No Parking on Both Sides: Third Ave —from Sylvester St to 100' north No Parking on Both Sides: Third Ave —from Sylvester St to 100' south No Parking on Both Sides: Fourteenth Ave — from Clark St south to alley No Parking on Both Sides: Fourteenth Ave— from Clark St to 100' north No Parking on North Side: Lewis St—from 14`h Ave to 130' west Lewis St—from 14th Ave to 80' east No Parking on South Side_: ' Lewis St—from 14th Ave to 100' west Lewis St—from 10' Ave to 100' east No Parking on East Side Road 36 - f om Court St to 650' south 14TH AVE AND LEWIS ST SIGHT 'TRIANGLE •t W.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 7/5: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. , supporting policy recommendations of the Rivers to Ridges Open Space Network Vision Plan of January 2011. 111. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A. The Ridges to Rivers Open Space Network (RROSN) group started in 2005 as the Taptcal Greenway Association. That group was dedicated to preserving a specific geographic area within the Richland City limits. It branched out in late 2007 to form an effort in the greater Mid-Coiumbia to begin a public discussion about local vision and future plans for open space, B. The purpose of the RROSN Plan is to develop a regional vision for retention of special geographic and geologic features in the Mid Columbia and how a system of trails and linkages can allow residents and visitors to experience these features. The RROSN Plan also provides a series of policy recommendations and specific implementation measures. C. Much of the RROSN Plan focuses on areas in South Richland and Benton County. Ffforts in Franklin County are focused our connection of the Columbia Plateau 'frail with Sacajawea State Park; establishment of a multi-use trail around Scootney Reservoir; establishment of permanent access to the Juniper Duties Natural area and a trail that connects Juniper Dunes to Smith Canyon; establishment of an interpretative trail at Esquatzel Coulee that ties in with a future Ice Age Flood National Geologic "frail and establishment of a trail from Lyons Ferry to Palouse Falls. Within Pasco, the existing Heritage Trail and Sacajawea Park are identified as linkages to other regional open spaces. D. Council received a presentation by the RROSN at the 3128/11 workshop meeting, and at the 4/4/11 regular meeting directed the Plantung Commission review the Plan and forward a recommendation on policies within the Plan to support that would benefit the Pasco community, E. The Planning Commmission has provided their recommendation in Reference 92, which was discussed by City Council at the June 27, 2011 Workshop meeting. V. DISCUSSION: A. The RROSN Plan represents a significant effort at establishing an inventory of existing and potential regional open space and providing an array of policy recommendations focused on leveraging the value of open space to our economy, environment and community health. E. The attached Resolution reflects the policy recommendations in the Plan appropriate for outright support, consideration by the Jurisdictional Council and support on a case by case basis 8(C) RESOLUTION NO.

Clark, City Clerk Leland B, Kerr, City Attorney Rivers to Ridges Open Space Network Vision Plan Page 2 Reference 1 - Planning Commission report dated June 16, 2011 MEMORANDUM DATE: June 16, 2011 TO: Planning Commission FROM: Rick White, Director Community & Economic Development SUBJECT: Ridges to Rivers Open Space NetwgrkVision Plan The Commission considered the Ridges to Rivers Open Space Network (RROSN) Vision Plan at the Planning Commission workshop meeting of May 19, 2011. At that meeting, the Commission considered each of the recommendations forwarded by the RROSN and offered comments on whether to recommend that each be pursued. As the Planning Commission knows, the Pasco City Council received a formal presentation of the RROSN Vision Plan at a Council workshop in March this year. As a result of that workshop, Council has directed the Commission to review the Vision Plan and forward appropriate recommendations to City Council on policy or project actions from the Vision Plan that should be pursued and that will compliment the larger Pasco community. As discussed by the Planning Commission, this meeting tonight has been advertised as an opportunity for public comment on the RROSN Vision Plan. The following recommendations are those that were supported by the Commission as having the highest chance to positively affect quality of life within the Pasco community. Discussion following each Recommendation is intended to capture the gist of the Commission's direction on each recommendation. Definition and Inventory Recomrnenclatigns Recommendation G1.1: Benton and Franklin County, the cities of Benton City, Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland adopt a common definition of open space consistent with the Ridges to Rivers Open Space Network vision. DISCUSSION: With a nominal amount of coordination between the region's entities (cities, counties and special districts), it should be relatively straight forward to develop a definition of open space that is acceptable to all. Accomplishing this recommendation would help ensure that all entitles are on the "same page" when discussing open space and open space connections. Recommendation G1.2: The jurisdictions of the Mid-Columbia make every effort to create a common database of maps to expedite regional planning. DISCUSSION: Creating a common database of maps is very important and at the same time deceivingly difficult. Each entity employs a unique GIS and database system that are not always compatible with each other. These database systems are incorporated into an entity's larger computer network and providing commonality between all of these operating systems may be prohibitively expensive and time consuming. This should be discussed and agreed upon by the Jurisdiction Council and pursued over time as options for implementing become available. It should be understood that in the absence of a common database, there is still the ability for jurisdictions to share information and mapping products as needs arise, Recommendation G1.3: Cooperatively develop and maintain an inventory of regional open space resources. DISCUSSION: This recommendation is likely to consume a large amount of staff time and is more or less dependent on achieving recommendation G1.2 noted above. This recommendation would also involve efforts of different levels for cities and counties. Within the defined urban areas, the inventory and assessment may be relatively easy to accomplish. In the larger outlying areas outside of the urban boundaries, the inventory would be commensurately larger and more difficult to compile. Implementation of this recommendation would be greatly assisted by active involvement of the RROSN Board. This should be discussed and agreed upon by the Jurisdiction Council and pursued over time as options for implementing become available. Recommendation G1.4: Make a consistently strong effort at the jurisdictional level to preserve priority open space. DISCUSSION: The preservation of priority open space within Pasco is relatively easy to monitor since most of the recommended priority open space is outside of the Pasco city limits. Efforts focused on connection of Sacajawea State Park to the Columbia Plateau Trail are appropriate to pursue. !pirnmunication/Organ izat.ionaI Recommendations Recommendation G2.1: An institutionalized Jurisdictional Council (JC) is established to maintain a direct communication link between the County Commissioners, the City Councils, and the Ridges to Rivers Open Space Network. DISCUSSION: No action is necessary on this recommendation as the framework for a jurisdictional council has been established by the RROSN. However it will require continued participation in order to be successful. The Commission recommends that the City continue efforts to maintain a presence on the jurisdictional council. Recommendation G2.2: Participating entities inform each other of any planned or proposed projects — public or private — that may impact the Open Space Network and pursue all available options to avoid or mitigate loss of open space and trail resources. DISCUSSION; G2.2 requires agreement among the jurisdictional council and completion of the inventory described in G1.3, Assuming the jurisdictional council is effective and operational, this recommendation should be pursued as it provides a top level resource to keep elected officials informed of projects that may impact the open space network. Recommendation G3.2: Identify as a regional open space resource any city, county, state, or federal property designated for abandonment, surplus, or zone change. Make every effort to secure those properties that have open space values and trail potential. DISCUSSION; The surplussing of property should be examined as that opportunity comes up. A notable example of this is the agreement that the City of Pasco pursued when taking over stewardship of Chiawana Park. This action resulted in the maintenance of the park as a significant open space area linked to the larger and regional Sacajawea/Heritage Trail system. However it also came with a cost. Each opportunity to secure surplussed or abandoned properties will also need to be examined from a budgetary standpoint. Recommendation G4.3: Develop a regional trails plan implementation phasing schedule for each jurisdiction. STAFF DISCUSSION: Although this would benefit the City, Franklin County is a critical player in an effort to develop a regional trail plan and implementation schedule. The priority open space areas for Franklin County are nearly all outside of the Pasco city limits. Pasco should assist Franklin County as opportunity present itself in order to accomplish this recommendation. Funding Recommendations Recommendation G6.2: Broaden funding for open space conservation and operations and maintenance (0&M). STAFF DISCUSSION; There are many options for funding open space conservation and operation and maintenance. The Plan contains a discussion of such beginning on page 170. In particular, there is a representative example of Spokane County's experience with "conservation futures" on page 172. On page 182 of the Plan, there is a more general discussion of "conservation future" type of dedicated property tax for open space acquisition. The Commission believes that open space retention is a goal the public supports and should be pursued. Q ,RIb!gns1Ye Plan and Ordinane Adjustment Recommendation G10.1: The cities and counties of the Mid-Columbia region strengthen their comprehensive plan discussion of Natural Open Space. DISCUSSION; This recommendation should be pursued. It is especially important within Franklin County as the overall bulk of the priority open space areas are located outside of the Pasco urban boundaries. This would serve to broaden awareness of open space issues, in particular as each entity tries to standardize their definitions of open space in accord with Recommendation G1.1 Recommendation G11.2: Encourage jurisdictions to provide incentives for in-fill development. DISCUSSION; This is a recommendation that is currently being pursued by the City through various programs and is an important component of utilizing existing public investment within the urban boundaries. Pasco provides a number of incentives that accomplish and encourage infiil of spaces that have been passed over by similar urban development. MOTION: I move that the Planning Commission recommend City Council support the Recommendations indentified in the June 15, 2411 staff memo for the Rivers to Ridges Open Space Network Vision Plan. Reference 2 - Planning Commission minutes dated May 19,2011 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES May 19, 2011 Rick White, Community and Economic Development Director, provided a brief summary of the RROSN Vision Plan. Scott Woodward, President of the RROSN, presented the RROSN Vision Plan. Chairman Cruz called for discussion on each recommendation contained in the Plan. Commissioner Levin asked if the private sector could be involved in this Plan. Mr. Woodward stated yes. Their next goal is to expand to the private sector. Chairman Cruz discussed linear park planning. Commissioner Khan stated the three cities would need to agree on the definition of open space and what would be the next step. Mr. Woodward stated it would be beneficial for the cities to be consistent and he was in favor of adopting an open space definition. Mr. White asked for some direction on hove the Commission would like to proceed on reviewing the plan. Several suggestions were provided. Commissioner Lukins was in favor of making a recommendation right now. Commissioner Anderson was also in favor. Chairman Cruz stated they would go through each recommendation one by one and make their suggestions, 1. Definition and Inventory Recommendations Recommendation G1.1: Benton and Franklin County, the cities of Benton City, Kennewick, Pasco, Richland, and West Richland adopt a common definition of open space consistent with the Ridges to Rivers Open Space Network vision. Discussion; Agreed Recommendation G1.2: The jurisdictions of the Mid-Columbia make every effort to create a common database of maps to expedite regional planning. Discussion: Agreed Mr. White explained achieving this goal may take a number of years. This might be one of the more complicated steps due to the initial investment each community will need to contribute. Chairman Cruz stated he is in favor of moving forward on this item and allow the City to share information to make this happen.. Commissioner Anderson felt action on the recommendation was a Council level action and they would need to make the decision to replace the G1S system. Mr. White stated Commissioner Anderson's comments reinforce the importance of the Jurisdictional Council where that type of conversation occurs. Chairman Cruz stated they are supportive and would like to make the data available as needed. Recommendation G1.3: Cooperatively develop and maintain an inventory of regional open space resources. Discussion: Agreed .Recommendation G1.4: Make a consistently strong effort at the jurisdictional level to preserve priority open space. Discussion: Agreed Mr. White stated the committee's priority open space discussion was on page 76 in the Plan; most of the areas identified are fax from the Pasco city limits and outside the boundaries and urban area. The urban area contains Sacajawea Park, as well as a trail system and half of the river system. The priority areas were identified as the Esquatzel Coulee, the trail along the Snake River, Sacajawea Trail and the Columbia Plateau Trail. 2. Communication/Orzanizational Recommendations Recommendation G2.1: An institutionalized Jurisdictional Council (JC) is established to maintain a direct communication link between the County Commissioners, the City Councils, and the Ridges to Rivers Open Space Network. Discussion: Agreed Recommendation G2.2: Participating entities inform each other of any planned or proposed projects - public or private - that may impact the Open Space Network and pursue all available options to avoid or mitigate loss of open space and trail resources. Discussion: Agreed 3. Ownership Recommendations Recommendation G3.1: Define ownership and maintenance of preserved open space in development areas. Discussion: HOLD Mr. White stated G3. 1: was a complex issue and difficult to isolate from other items of this policy. If G3:1 is read with G6.2 the recommendation takes on a different light. Although difficult to implement or get started now, perhaps if a dedicated source of funding was in place it might be a whole different story. It might not be pursued at this stage but that may change depending on what the future brings in terms of conservation funding. Commissioner Anderson stated this item was something to be put on the table at a later date as things move along. Recommendation G3.2: Identify as a regional open space resource any city, county, state, or federal property designated for abandonment, surplus, or zone change. Make every effort to secure those properties that have open space values and trail potential. Discussion: Agreed Recommendation G3.3: Establish a regional open space stewardship program. Discussion; Agreed 4. Regional Trails Recommendations Recommendation G4.1: Identify a lead agency or entity to track the completion of the Regional Trails Plan, Discussion: Agreed Recommendation G4.2: Develop a regional trails design manual that includes operations and maintenance requirements. Discussion: Agreed Recommendation G4.3: Develop a regional trails plan implementation phasing schedule for each jurisdiction. Discussion: Agreed Mr. White asked the Commission if they would be in favor of forwarding this to the County. Chairman Cruz was uncomfortable with forwarding to the County. Commissioner Gemig stated they would support as necessary. S. Access Recommendations Recommendation G5.1: Provide access, where appropriate, for compatible forms of outdoor recreation. Discussion: Agreed 6. Funding Recommendations Recommendation G6.1: Actively pursue funding of open space and trail projects. Consider nominating projects annually for funding as joint projects. Discussion: Agreed Commissioner Khan asked how they pursue that, upon recommendation or? Chairman Cruz stated they would endorse the recommendation as the Planning Commission. Recommendation G6.2: Broaden funding for open space conservation and operations and maintenance (O&M). Discussion: The majority agreed; with Commissioners Anderson and Hay casting dissenting votes. Mr. White stated the state allows tax to be installed at the County level to purchase open space areas and maintenance and operation activities. The tax can go up to 6.5(� per $1,000. Spokane County had a positive experience with it and was originally done with a great amount of trepidation but is still in place. Commissioner Khan stated she was not sure about the tax portion however the overall Plan is worth pursuing. Commissioner Gemig was in favor, Commissioner Greenaway was not in favor of taxing. Commissioner Lukins stated $6 per $100,000 it's a slam dunk. Mr. White clarified the tax can be up to 6.5(D. Commissioner Greenaway changed her decision. Chairman Cruz asked if money was protected or general fund money. Mr. White stated this money is specifically used for the purpose intended. Chairman Cruz is in favor. Commissioner Kempf is in favor. Commissioner Levin questioned educating the children on the vision plan, Mr. Woodward stated they have information about health connectivity and interpretive work on the ground as well as a stewardship program. Commissioner Levin was in favor. Commissioner Anderson was not in favor. He stated there are other priorities in our community, if the economy changes for the better in the next 10 years then he would be in favor. Commissioner Hay is not in favor. Commissioner Gemig asked if the tax would be handed down to the citizens or would it go to a vote like a school district bond. Chairman Cruz stated they would have the opportunity to go either way. if they support the policy then it doesn't necessarily mean they support the tax and expand the funding horizons. It is preferred that a vote for the tax would go to the citizens. 7. Federal Notification Recommendations Recommendation G7. 1: Coordinate with federal agencies. Discussion: Agreed Recommendation G 7.2: Identify and protect regional open space resources prior to land auctions. Discussion: Agreed 8. Best Practices for Development Recommendations Recommendation G8.1: Each county and city of the Mid-Columbia Region adopt a best practices development document. Discussion: Agreed 9. RROSN Status and Update Process Recommendations Recommendation G9.1: Establish performance measures and inform the RROSN Board of annual progress, Discussion: Agreed Recommendation. G9.2: Update the Ridges to Rivers Open Space Network Vision in 5 years, expanding the plan boundary to include other areas. Discussion: Agreed 10. Comprehensive Plan and Ordinance Adjustment Recommendations Recommendation G10.1: The cities and counties of the Mid-Columbia region strengthen their comprehensive plan discussion of Natural Open Space. Discussion: Agreed Recommendation G10.2: Jurisdictions update their parks and comprehensive plans to include trail and open space projects included in this vision document. Discussion: Agreed 11. Contain.Develogment Sprawl Recommendation G11.1: Direct development to the Urban Growth Areas (UGA) and work with the State and Counties to limit urban-type development outside the UGA. Discussion: Agreed Recommendation G11.2: Encourage jurisdictions to provide incentives for in-fill development. Discussion: Agreed Mr, White provided an explanation of the in-fill activities in Pasco related to the use of Block Grant monies and HOME monies. Chairman Cruz called for any additional comments or discussion. Mr. Woodward provided some additional information on the Recommendation for ownership and maintenance of open space. He related an experience from Boise where a hillside development had a requirement to provide open space and the homeowners association was set up to take care of it. The homeowners association fell apart and the City was burdened with maintenance of these pieces. And that is the reason for including that recommendation in the Plan. Commissioner Lukins asked Mr. Woodward if he requested a Resolution of Acceptance of the document. Mr. Woodward stated they did go through the City Council and the template was forwarded to the City Attorney. Chairman Cruz asked if a public hearing would be the next step. Mr. White stated yes. Commissioner Anderson moved., seconded by Commissioner Hay, to adjourn the meeting. The motion passed unanimously.
