IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. in 1998 Initiative 692 was passed by Washington voters that permitted the use of
marijuana for medicinal purposes. The Initiative was codified as Chapter 69.51A of the
Revised Code of Washington even though marijuana still remained illegal under the
Federal Control Substance Act.
B. In 2007, the State Legislature clarified RCW 69.51A by determining that a medically
authorized person could posses a 60-day supply of medicinal marijuana. However,
cultivating marijuana still remained a felony under Federal law.
C. The 2011 the State Legislature attempted to address this through Engrossed Second
Substitute Senate Bill (E2SSB) 5073 which passed the Legislature in April of 2011. This
bill provided for collective gardening of medical marijuana and allowed local cities and
counties to adopt coning and health regulations governing the production and distribution
of medical marijuana.
D. A majority of E2SSB 5073 was vetoed by Governor Gregoire. Section 403 remains in
place Which allows qualifying patients to jointly maintain collective gardens for
cultivating cannabis for medical use. The legislation also permits growing marijuana in
collective gardens with no more restrictions than it cannot be grown in public view and
contain no more than 15 plants per patient up to a total of 45 plants. E2SSB 5073 went
into effect on July 22,2011,
L. City Council approved Resolution 3330 on July 18, 2011 establishing a 6 month
moratorium on collective inedical marijuana gardens in all zoning districts and held a
public hearing on the moratorium on August 15,2011,
V. DISCUSSION:
A. Cities may impose reasonable restrictions through zoning regulations on collective
medicinal marijuana gardens. The restrictions must serve a legitimate government
interest and be reasonably calculated to achieve that government interest. The
moratorium established through Resolution 3330 provides the City time to establish a
work plan for developing appropriate regulations for collective gardens.
B. Staff has prepared a proposed resolution retaining the moratorium for Council
consideration, A proposed work plan has also been prepared which depicts the staging
expected for adoption of appropriate regulations for collective medical marijuana gardens
(Reference 92). Council has the option of extending the 6 month moratorium based on
the work plan. Extension of the moratorium for up to 12 months could accommodate the
changes in State law expected as a result of the 2012 Legislative Session.
4(a)
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO ADOPTING FINDINGS IN
SUPPORT OF RETENTION OF THE MORATORIUM PROHIBITING MEDICAL
CANNABIS COLLECTIVE GARDENS IN ALL ZONING DISTRICTS WITHIN THE
CITY.
WHEREAS, the Washdngton legislature by Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill 5073 (the
Medical Cannabis Bill) provided for the establishment of State regulated medical cannabis dispensaries and
collective cannabis gardens to provide a source of medical cannabis for qualifying patients, however,
Washington Governor Christine Gregoire vetoed significant portions of the Bill including all State agency
regulations of the production, processing and distribution of medical cannabis; and
WHEREAS, as a response to the Governor's veto, the legislature attempted, in the last hours of the
2011 legislative session to introduce Senate Bill 9555 addressing the concerns raised by the Governor's veto,
however, this Bill did not survive the closing of the legislative session and, therefore, further legislative action
is unlikely until the convening of the 2012 legislature; and
WHEREAS, the portions of the Medical Cannabis Bill that survived the veto permits collective
cannabis gardens subject to the City's determination of appropriate zoning, business liCCr1SC, health and safety
requirements to serve the best interests of the City;and
WHEREAS, the veto of major sections of the Medical Cannabis Bill has resulted in great confusion
as to its application and future legislation including a recently filed Initiative which raises further questions in
regards to the future effect and application of this act; and
WHEREAS, it is anticipated that collective cannabis gardens will require an increased risk to health
and safety, require increased code enforcement activities, and affect the use and enjoyment of surrounding
properties without appropriate regulations;and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the City that the
moratorium be retained to provide the City an opportunity to develop appropriate regulations for such
collective gardens,and to develop a work plan for the implementation of such regulations;
NOW,THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
Section 1. The City of Pasco makes the following findings.
A. The City of Pasco does not currently have specific regulatory provisions addressing the conditions
or locations of collective cannabis gardens within the City.
B. The City adopted a moratorium on collective medicinal marijuana gardens in all zoning districts
through City of Pasco Resolution 3330 on July 18,2011 and heard citizen comments that medical
marijuana dispensaries are needed for residents of the greater Pasco—Kennewick—Richland area
and that currently, medicinal marijuana users must resort to illegal means to secure medicinal
mari i uana.
Resolution - 1
C. The City of Pasco held a public hearing on the propriety of the moratorium on August 15, 2011
and received a report from staff on issues of concern related to collective medicinal marijuana
gardens, and heard testimony from 1 citizen relating to the contradictions within State law, the
need for collective medicinal marijuana gardens, the adverse effects of resorting to illegal means
of procuring medicinal marijuana, the need for building and zoning regulations for collective
gardens and the potential positive financial impact of taxing medicinal marijuana.
D. The City Council finds that zoning, licensing and permitting regulations should be established,
pending review of appropriate locations and other requirements for collective gardens, and the
impacts of the newly amended law and its interaction with federal law must be compared and
analyzed.
E. The City must ensure that proposed locations for collective gardens are appropriate and that any
potential secondary impacts arising from the operation of collective gardens are minimized and
mitigated. These secondary impacts include, but are not limited to burglaries associated with the
marijuana maintained on the site, or an increase of other illegal activities, such as drug use, within
the vicinity of collective medical marijuana gardens.
F. The Pasco Police Department (PPD) has expressed concerns that collective medical marijuana
gardens will invite vandalism, theft and trespass and compromise neighborhood safety and has
expressed the need for development of regulations that will minimize these expected impacts,
Section 2. Moratorium Retained. The moratorium established by Pasco Resolution 3330 on July 18,
2011 is retained prohibiting the establishment, maintenance, cultivation,or operation of a collective garden for
growing medical cannabis as defined by Section 1, Subsection 2 of the Engrossed Second Substitute Senate
Bill 5073 and RCW 69.51A.010 as amended, within all zoning districts within the City of Pasco.
Section 3. 'term of Moratorium. The moratorium imposed by Resolution 3330 shall continue in
effect for an initial period of months, unless repealed, extended, or modified by the City Council after
a public hearing and the entry of appropriate findings of fact as required by RCW 35A.63.220, provided,
however, that the moratorium shall automatically expire upon the effective date of zoning regulations adopted
by the City Council to address collective gardens for medical cannabis within the City of Pasco.
Section 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect upon its passage and
signature below.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco this day of_ 2011.

taxation, code enforcement, crime prevention, public safety(police and fire protection)and zoning
standpoint.
5. Research the degree of consistency for regulation desired/needed from Benton and Franklin counties and
the cities of Kennewick, Richland, West Richland,and meet with these jurisdictions as necessary to
coordinate efforts.

SUBJECT: 2012 HOME Fund Allocations and Annual Work Plan (MF# BGAP2011-004)
1. REFERENCE(S):
1. Resolution allocating 20t2 HOME funds.
11. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
08/22/11: DISCUSSION
II1. FISCAL IMPACT
It is estimated that approximately $167,188 from the 2012 Entitlement including an estimated
15% reduction and $375,000 from Program Income from the sale of three acquisition and new
construction projects for funds totaling $542,188 will be available for HOME projects.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. Pasco entered into a HOME Consortium Agreement with Richland and Kennewick in
1996 making the City eligible for Federal HOME funds. In May 2010, this Agreement
was renewed through 2013.
B. Pasco's HOME Fund balance as of July 31, 2011 through Program Year 2011 is
$846,702. Of this aMUnt, $560,101 is expended or under contract and $105,000 is
committed to projects that are awaiting final approval. Program income received from the
sale of three infill homes that are currently under rehabilitation must be used prior to
drawing down entitlement funds. These acquisition and rehabilitation projects are
overcommitted to counter the effect on timely expenditure of entitlement funds.
Current Projects Budget Obligated
Acquisition &Rehab/1nfill Projects $ 115,495 $ 473,522
First Time Homebuyer Assistance $ 23,857 $ 43,894
Owner-occupied Rehabilitation $ 406,175 $ 38,337
Rental Rehabilitation $ 203,949 $ -
CHDO Set-aside (RFP Pending) $ 90,294 $ -
Administra*ion from P1 $ 6,933 $ 4,348
$ 846,702 $ 560,101
C. HOME funds are based on need and incomc eligibility and may be used anywhere within
the city limits, however, neighborhoods designated as priority by Pasco City Council
receive first consideration. Funding is first targeted in the Longfellow and Museum
neighborhoods, then within low-moderate income census tracts (201, 202, 203 and 204).
If HOME funds cannot be applied to those areas, then they are used as needed within the
Pasco City limits for the benefit of eligible low-moderate income families.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. The City is able to use HOME funds for acquisition and rehabilitation of foreclosed
properties, or developing vacant property through "infill" projects. Current balances and
program income expected from the sale of acquisition and new construction projects in
2012 provides funding to continue that program. Staff proposes that the 2012 allocation
and annual work plan focus on infill and be allocated to the projects below:
Proposed Activities Budget Ulits
Acquisition & Intill Construction Projects $ 362,188 3
First Time Homebuyer Assistance $ 142,500 15

111. FISCAL IMPACT
It is estimated that the 2012 annual entitlement grant will be $510,000, a reduction of
15% from 2010 allocations. Together with $10,000 available from program income, and
$461,849 from prior year reallocations, the total available federal dollars for use in
program year 2012 is $981,849.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. A Request for Proposals for 2012 CDBG funds was published in the Tri-City
Herald and Tu Decides Hispanic newspapers May 1 and 8, 2011. Sixteen (16)
requests were received totaling S 1,470,204. Approximately $951,849 will be
available for funding 2012 activities.
B. The Planning Commission held public hearings and discussion on June 16 and
July 21, 2011. The public hearings solicited public comment on any application for
funding, or reallocation for the City of Pasco 2012 Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Program. At the public hearings, sixteen (16) presentations were
made relating to proposed activities.
V. DISCUSSION
A. Staff presented recommendations for funding at the July 21, 2011 Planning
Commission meeting. The Planning Commission recommended approval of staff
funding recommendations as presented except for reducing three city public service
activities by 10% and recommending funding of PowerZone for $7,000. Funding of
the City public service activities was already recommended by staff at a $10,000
reduction to maintain the public service cap in keeping with the anticipated
reduction in entitlement funds. Reduction of the three City public service activities
per the Planning Commission recommendation results in the General Fund paying
an even higher portion of these activities. The Planning Commission
recommendation is inconsistent with adopted Resolution 1969 which limits funding
of public service activities to City-sponsored programs.
B. There is always some question regarding funding levels approved by Congress.
Actual available funding for these FY 2012 activities will remain in question until
the early part of 2012 when the allocation is made. If funding levels are lower than
estimated, activity funding may need to be reallocated accordingly.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
C. CDBG 2012 Community Development Block Grant
Allocations (Citide) (MF# BGAP 2011-003)
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from
staff.
Angie Pitman, CDBG Administrator stated the hearing was the first of two
public hearings required for the 2012 CDBG Allocation applications. The
second public hearing will be in July; in August City Council will hold a
workshop; and in October a 30-day public review period of the Action Plan
which will go to HUD in November. Ms. Pitman discussed the background of
the CDBG program and explained Pasco typically receives an annual
entitlement of about $600,000 per year. Program rules and eligibility
requirements from CFR 570 were discussed; national objectives were explained
along with Consolidated Plan requirements. 2012 will be the third year of the
Consolidated Plan. The City can carry out activities with City employees,
contractors or program partners such as sub recipients from other
governmental agencies, private or public non-profit and private for profit.
Contractors can be used and are selected through a competitive procurement
process or a community based organization (which we do not have in our area).
For 2012 the estimated entitlement is $510,000 which includes a 16%
decrease. it is estimated that $10,000 will be available from program income
and $462,000 will be reallocated from prior years activities. In 2012 there is
$982,000 available for use. In May of each year the City advertises for requests
for proposals. Sixteen proposals were received asking for approximately $1.5
million in funding leaving a deficit of about $488,000.
Chairman Cruz called for question on any of the City's proposals.
Rick White, Community 8& Economic Development Director presented the
following program application:
Community 8a Economic Development Administration accounts for all of
CDBG salaries and other employees which provide CDBG support. It also
pays for the CDBG program functions such as advertising, public notices,
supplies, and etc.
The Civic Center Youth Recreation Specialist is a partial salary for an
employee who provides project delivery for the after school and summer
programs at City Hall for low to moderate families and their children.
-1 -
The Martin Luther King Recreation Specialist works closely with the YMCA
and Head Start to provide services at the Martin Luther King Center.
The Senior Citizen Center Recreation Specialist is similar to the previous
specialists however services are solely provided for low to moderate income
senior citizens.
The Downtown Fagade Improvement Program has been undertaken by the
Downtown Pasco Development Authority and there are 3-4 facades projects
in process.
The LID 148 Assessment Assistance request is for Phase 2 of the Kurtzman
Neighborhood Improvement Program which continues from last year and if
successful will be constructed this summer. The $65,000 will assist in
financial assistance for low to moderate income households.
The Senior Center Kitchen remodel has been needed for many years. The
kitchen provides Meals on Wheels for the entire Tri-City area. The funds
will be used to replace kitchen equipment.
The Code Enforcement Officer request provides the salary for one Code
Enforcement Officer to minimize adverse affects on neighborhoods such as
a vacant house with waist high weeds, broken windows, etc. in low to
moderate income neighborhoods to stop and prevent slum and blight.
The Kurtzman Park LID last phase for improving Hugo, Sycamore and
Cedar streets for the northerly section adjacent to Lewis Street. The streets
are in terrible shape with vacant lots and improvements with water and
sewer in the past year bona fide economic development and residential
growth would be a good thing for that neighborhood.
The Community Park project consists of developing a park with athletic
fields in low moderate income census tracts east of Highway 395. The park
would include recreation space and athletic fields such as soccer, football
or softball.
Ahmad Qayoumi, Public Works Director explained the request for funding for
ADA sidewalk accessibility improvements of pedestrians. The downtown area is
being targeted first and then other areas in the city will be addressed.
Jennifer Balderas, 74 Whitten Street, Richland and Kim Lowe, 3 Zinnia Court,
Pasco presented their program for youth to give them an opportunity to do
something constructive and give back to the community by producing organic
fruits/vegetables.
Commissioner Khan asked where the garden site would be located.

Ms. Balderas stated land would be donated in various areas of Pasco.
Commissioner Greenaway asked how they proposed to transport youth to
different sites if they reside in Richland.
Ms. Balderas stated she is working with Louise Alaniz, President of Charity
Program for that purpose.
Chairman Cruz recalled Ms. Alaniz's proposal from last. year and they
requested to see funding, development and matching of funds for such
programs. Their request is for CDBG to fund their program 100%.
Ms. Balderas stated the money would be for seed money to start their gardens.
Chairman Cruz again asked for clarification on the matching dollar amount.
Ms. Balderas stated there is no match.
Commissioner Khan asked if there were farmers who have donated to this
program.
Ms. Balderas stated no; there are several families who are willing to donate
ground.
Commissioner Khan asked if they fashioned their program after any other
model such as co-op farming that use at risk youth who train them for a job.
Ms. Balderas stated she was not aware of that program.
Chairman Cruz called for the applicant for the Benton Franklin Community
Action Committee Homeless Prevention Program. No one responded from the
audience.
Carol Schuh, 1202 W. Lewis Street, Pourer Zone Youth Center stated they have
an after school program called "Homework Zone". Their mission statement:
Reaching at risk youth, mentoring and developing their God given potential.
Their goal is to help youth graduate. They focus on prevention and
intervention. They are teaming up with an organization "Firme" which means
firm and is headed by Jesse Campos who is the executive director of Teen
Challenge who works with gang members.
Commissioner Khan questioned the number of youth they serve.
Ms. Schuh stated on average 30-35; they were formerly at the Martin Luther
King Center and since they have relocated it is harder to get the kids from the
eastside to their facility.
Commissioner Anderson asked how long has this program been running.
-3 -
Ms. Schuh stated since March of 2000.
Commissioner Anderson questioned how they have funded the program.
Ms. Schuh stated through in-kind donations and grant monies. The grant

Specialty kitchen stated they provide an affordable organic certified commercial
incubator kitchen for small food businesses to cook and package their product.
Ms. Silvernail discussed the various helps they provide clients and their

Chairman Cruz called for Catholic Family Charities Volunteer Chore Services to
present their request. No response.
Chairman Cruz continued the public hearing to the next meeting.
Commissioner Lukins stated that of the 12 projects recommended funding and
11 are for the City. He feels room should be created for one more.
Chairman Cruz suggested moving $10,000 from the Facade improvement to
the Power Zone Youth Center.
Ms. Pitman explained there was a 15% cap on funding for public services.
Power Zone is a public service provider. To stay under the cap funding had
already been reduced for the Senior Center.
Chairman Cruz stated he was still in favor of allocating money to Power Zone.
The general consensus of the Commission was for providing some funding for
Power Zone.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
B. CDBG 2012 Community Development BlocU Grant
Allocations (Cityffidel 1MF# BGAP 2011-0031
Vice-Chairwoman Kempf read the master file number and asked for comments
from staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director stated this is the
second public hearing and staff has outlined 16 requests for the Community
Development Block Grant which were received for the 2012 year. The requests
total approximately $1.47 million and the estimate of available funding is
$981,000. At last month's meeting there was discussion involving a
subrecipient requesting funds for public services. Staff provided an explanation
of the public service cap required by Federal CDBG regulations and City of
Pasco Resolution No. 1969 which limits public services to those operated by
the City for recreational programs. The matrix in the packet shows the funding
breakdown. The agency is listed with a numbering system and the estimated
non-Community Development Block Grant match is provided in the next
column, the requested amount is listed by agency and the staff
recommendation is also listed. The Planning Commission recommendation will
be added to the final column and will move forward to City Council for
workshop discussion in August and a decision on August 15.
Vice-Chairwoman Kempf opened the public hearing.
Commissioner Lukins stated referring to the public service cap that even if the
Commission wanted to fund two public service applications they would not be
allowed.
Mr. White stated yes; if the Commission followed Resolution #1969 then that
would be the case.
Vice-Chairwoman Kempf stated their hands are basically tied with what they
have.
Mr. White explained the public service cap for six items and noted ten other
items for brick and mortar type of projects for consideration.
Commissioner Lukins stated the only point of contention he had beyond staff's
recommendation was the public service issue and it is moot now.
-1 -
I
Commissioner Greenaway stated she would like to see funding for PowerZone
pulled from somewhere and asked how they could make that happen.
Mr. White stated you would disregard Resolution 1969 and take money from
the other public service allocated funding.
Commissioner Lukins asked if staff could explain the background of Resolution
# 1969and whether it was binding or not binding.
Mr. White stated the Resolution provides guidelines for the City's use of Block
Grant funds. He stated this happened long before his time with the City. There
was a Community Development Block Grant board which entertained requests
for funding and those recommendations from that board were not in a focused
manner that provided community improvement the way the elected officials
wanted to see the funds used for. Council adopted a Resolution which provided
the guidelines for the recommendations from that group. That group has since
been replaced and the Planning Commission is now the body that provides
recommendations to the City Council for use of Community Development Block
Grant funds. It is simply a matter of using the funds to make the most visible,
longest lasting difference in the community.
Mr. McDonald stated when the Block Grant program was initiated in 1974 it
consolidated a number of Federal grant programs and most of them were
related to brick and mortar type activities such as water lines, sewer lines, and
street improvements. There was no authority back then for community service
facilities to receive funding. That has since changed and the former committee
would frequently try to help community service organizations and the program
became over weighted with community service activities. The Resolution was
created to provide guidance for the committee to make recommendations to
City Council and it also provides guidance for the Council and how to
distribute the funds.
Vice-Chairwoman Kempf asked for discussion on whether the Planning
Commission wanted to ignore the Resolution or to make the recommendations
as provided by staff.
Commissioner Greenaway asked where the money would be taken from if they
were to recommend something different.
Commissioner Lukins stated from item 2, 3, and 4.
Commissioner Khan questioned if the Block Grant Administrator would be
available to advise the applicants how to acquire other grants which are
available for social services.
-2 -
Mr. White stated he thinks so; there are resources available in all communities
that can provide that type of advice. It is still a matter of getting in cycle with
funding opportunities and being successful when applying.
Commissioner Gemig asked if they are allowed to allocate $78,000 then why
are they only allocating the $70,000.
Mr. White stated that cushion was put in for unforeseen circumstances. The
City has to be extremely careful because if the cap is exceeded then they
receive an audit finding on the City's part and that is a big deal.
Carol Shuhe, 1202 W, Lewis, thanked the City for their consideration.
Louisa Alaniz and Kim Lowe, Charity Training Center, stated they have
developed a youth organic farming co-op for troubled youth for 10 teens in
partnership with the Juvenile Center.
Vice-Chairwoman Kempf called for additional comments from Commissioners.
Commissioner Gemig stated she wanted funds to be available for PowerZone
and did not know how to make that happen.
Commissioner Lukins stated the Commission should ignore the Resolution and
take 10% off the other recommended projects and give the funding to
Po- werZone.
Commissioner Gemig asked if they needed to ignore the Resolution.
Vice-Chairwoman Kempf stated yes.
Commissioner Greenaway stated she was in favor of ignoring the Resolution.
Commissioner Gemig moved to close the public hearing.
The public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Lukins moved, seconded by Commissioner Greenaway, to accept
the fund summary dated 7/21/ 11 with the exception of decreasing items 2, 3,
and 4 by 10% and the savings then be moved to item 7. The motion passed

Amendment.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$66.000 Additional Cost
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City entered into an agreement with HDR Engineering in January 2010 for
land acquisition and relocation services not to exceed $442,000 for the Lewis
Street Overpass project (see attached agenda report for additional details).
B) At the time the agreement was approved, it was not known, to what extent,
property may need to he acquired at the intersection of Lewis Street and Oregon
Avenue, the eastern terminus of the project. Through the City's recent design
process with JUB Engineering, the City has identified the need for four small
partial property acquisitions, one on each corner, of the intersection. It appears to
be most cost effective to continue with HDR I'or the property acquisition process.
The estimated cost, $52,527.98 for the necessary acquisition services, including
appraisal and negotiation (not including land costs) is detailed in the attached
reference #f2.
C) Some of the tenants in the properties scheduled to be acquired were unknown at
the time the original agreement was approved. As a result, there have been some
costs for appraisal and relocation services which were not included in the original
scope of work. "These costs amount to $12,970.18 as outlined in the letter from
HDR, attached as reference #3.
D) Staff requests that council approve an amendment to the agreement, increasing the
not to exceed fee by $66,000 to $508,000 in order to cover the new, plus the out-
of-scope work.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The land acquisition and relocation work must be performed in strict accordance
with federal guidelines. HDR has demonstrated its familiarity with the federal
requirements over the last 18 months. Negotiations have been concluded for the
purchase of all but four of 25 parcels (12 of 14 landowners) under the original
scope-of-work.

relocation services for the Lewis Street Overpass project. Approximately 26
parcels need to be acquired. The proposed services would be on a time and
material basis not to exceed $442,000. The fee does not include the actual land
acquisition or relocations costs. Staff is anticipating these casts to be $2.0 million
or less. The actual costs will not be known until after the services being provided
by HDR Engineering is completed.
The land acquisition and relocation work must be performed in strict accordance
to federal guidelines and by approved specialists in this field. This limits the
options to the City. HDR Engineering is the only firm with a local office which
has the qualified staff and experience to perform this work. The firm is also
willing to commit their resources to complete the work in as short a time frame as
possible. The other options are to contract with firms outside the area or with the
State directly. In reviewing the option with the State, staff concluded the process
most likely would take longer and the final costs would most likely be the same.
The acquisition cost will be paid out of the $3.0 million WSDOT funds and need
to be spent within the next 18 months,
Staff believes that the HDR Engineering proposal is the best option and
recommends Council approve the Mayor to sign the contract.

completed to date and tracked, the second Llamas appraisal and our estimate of the remaining
out of scope work for relocation services. Those costs are itemized below.
HDR out of scope fees to date- $8,174.62
Second out of scope Llamas Appraisal - 1500.00
Estimated remaining out of scope relocation services - 3,295.56
Total Out OfScQpeFees: $12,970.18
The new total contract amount would be $454,728,93 ($441,758,75 current contract amount+
$12970.10 total out of scope fees), If this increase is approved by the City we will
discontinue tracking out of scope work and will show the new contract amount on all future

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
1V, HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) On August 15, 2011, the consultant selection team picked Hopper, Dennis,
Jellison (HDT), which has an office in Pasco, to perform design work on the south
segment of the 4a' Avenue Corridor Enhancement Project.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Fourth Avenue Corridor (south of Court Street) Enhancement Project will include
safety, sidewalks, pedestrian crossing and parking improvements. Sidewalks
along the project are intended to keep the corridor's speed slow and be pedestrian
friendly. The roundabout design at the intersections of P Avenue, 4h Avenue and
Marie Street was incorporated into the scope of work covered under a separate
design contract which was awarded on April 4, 2011. The scope of work also
includes identifying amenities within the project boundary that the City may want
to blend with the future vision of the downtown. These amenities would include
the design of street lights, concrete finish and landscaping.
The fee for this work is proposed on the lump sum of $39,465.00. The
preliminary construction cost for the road improvements is $800,000.
The design of the project is expected to be completed by October 2011, award by
December 2011 and construction to start spring 2012.

916: MOTION: t move to approve the City's participation in the Franklin County Master
Mutual Aid Agreement and, further, authorize the City Manager to execute
the document.
111. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Emergency situations over the past ten years have emphasized the need for communities
to prepare for events which may overwhelm traditional response agencies such as police,
fire and EMS. The proposed Master Mutual Aid Agreement follows national guidelines
published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency(I+EMA).
B) It is important for communities to look beyond traditional response agencies and
recognize the importance of having pre-signed agreements for public works and
transportation resources as well as those from other special purpose agencies such as port
districts and public utility districts.
C) There is also a need to formalize the relationships betwccn governmental agencies and
non-governmental agencies or non-profits, such as the American Red Cross and the
private sector. Non-governmental agencies play a key role in the response to and
recovery from events and disasters.
D) While we have many traditional functional area mutual aid agreements in place, there are
no consistent,county-wide or multi-county agreements in place that allow the community
as a whole to marshal its total strength to respond to and mitigate a major disaster or
event.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) A similar agreement is currently in place in Benton County and one is under
consideration in Walla Walla County. It is intended to pursue reciprocal agreements
between counties that would further extend the benefits of cooperation and coordination
in the region,
B) As is usually the case with mutual aid agreements, assistance and participation is
voluntary. The agreement simply allows, but does not require response.
C) Unlike past traditional mutual aid agreements, the proposed agreement allows for a
reimbursement provision between agencies for extended duration emergencies,

Master Mutual Aid Agreement Z
October 2010
Section 1. Introduction
This Master Mutual Aid Agreement (_N4MAA) is made and entered by and between the signatory agencies
to this MMAA according to the date when signed by each signatory agency.
It is understood that no community owns all of the resources required for all potential emergencies. By
sharing resources the needs of most emergencies can be met on the local or regional basis without
declaring an emergency as provided by law to garner materials elsewhere. Sharing resources will bring
scarce resources to bear on the emergency faster than receiving outside help. Preplanning through an
MMAA will help to ensure efficient utilization of the closest,most appropriate, available resources.
This MMAA between the parties delineated about and signed hereto:
a. Creates a formal stricture for the provision of comprehensive mutual aid between jurisdictions; it is
the means for one jurisdiction, or agency, to provide resources, facilities, services and other
required support to another jurisdiction, or agency, under specific terms during an incident,
b, Provides that no party shall be required to unreasonably deplete its own resources in furnishing aid;
C. Provides that the responsible local official in whose jurisdiction an incident requiring mutual aid
has occurred shall remain in charge of such incident and provides for the delegation of authorities
to single resources and incident management teams;
d, Provides that each signatory to this MMAA agrees to develop an operational plan to engage the
resources received from and to implement this MMAA in their jurisdictions. Such operational plans
must include how resources from all of their participating agencies and private entities that may
provide resources during an emergency under this MMAA may be made operational upon request.
Each operational plan shall be reviewed by the jurisdiction at least annually;
e. Provides that each signatory to this MMAA will cause to keep the Franklin County
Communications Center computer aided dispatch system up to date on their resources which are
available for mutual aid and type-define such resources according to the National Incident
Management System (NLMS);
f. This MMAA does not supersede any other mutual aid agreement the signatories may be a signatory
to and it is the jurisdiction's responsibility to resolve any conflicts with other plans.

Section 2. Authorizations and Authorities
a. Article I, section 10 of the Constitution of the United States permits a state to enter into an
agreement or compact with another state, subject to the consent of Congress. Congress, through

h. Although an Incident Commander shall expect requested aid to be sent as outlined under this
MMAA, any jurisdiction may refuse the request for mutual aid. No jurisdiction will be expected to
deplete their resources under a mutual aid request.
i. A jurisdiction may withdraw their resources from a mutual aid circumstance upon timely notice to
the Incident Commander. At no time should this withdrawal put the requesting jurisdiction in
immediate risk of injury to personnel or damage to property. Every attempt will be made by the
sending jurisdiction to provide the aid requested until replaeement resources can be found or the
Incident Commander can place all emergency personnel in safe conditions as a result of the
withdrawal.

October 2010
f. Demobilize and provide timely activity reports and final documentation.
Section 5. Requesting and Providing Resources
a. The underlying concepts for resource management in this MMAA are that:
i. It provides a uniform method of identifying, acquiring, allocating, and tracking resources.
ii. It uses effective mutual-aid assistance, which is enabled by the standardized classification of
kinds and types of resources required to support the incident management organization.
iii. It uses a credentialing system tied to uniform lraiit.ing and certification standards to ensure
that requested personnel are successfully integrated into ongoing incident operations. It
assumes the certifying or credentialing organization has assured the criteria have been met by
their employee or resource for their certification or credential.
iv. Its coordination is the responsibility of the affected Emergency Operations Ccntcrs (EOC)
and,'or Multi-Agency Coordination (MAC) Group(s), as well as specific elements of the
Incident Command System (ICS) structure.
V. It may also encompass resources contributed by private sector and non-governmental
organizations.
b. All available resources within the context of this MMAA are to be categorized by size, capacity,
capability, skill, and other characteristics (Kind and Type), A database of Franklin County
resources shall be developed, managed, and maintained by FCEM and resources shall be classified
by kind and type. This makes the resource ordering and dispatch process within jurisdictions, across
jurisdictions, and between governmental and non-governmental entities more efficient and ensures
that Incident Commanders(IC) receive resources appropriate to their needs.
C. Resources to be identified in this way include supplies, equipment, facilities, incident management
personnel and/or emergency response teams.
d, if a requesting party is unable to describe an item using the resource type or classification system,
the, requesting party's communications center may provide technical information to enable the
requirements to be defined and translated into a specification.
C. Requests for items that the 1C cannot obtain locally are submitted through the communications
center supporting the incident to the EOC or MAC Group using standardized resource-ordering
procedures. If the communications center or EOC is unable to fill the order locally, the order is to
be forwarded up to the next level - generally an adjacent local, State, regional EOC, or MAC
Group,
f. Incident assigned personnel begin mobilizing when notified through established channels. At the
time of notification they are given;
Master Mutual Aid Agreement 7
October 2010
i. the date,time, and place of departure;
ii. mode of transportation to the incident, if necessary;
iii, estimated date (if necessary)and time of arrival;
iv. reporting location (address,contact name, and phone number);
v, anticipated incident assignment;
vi. anticipated duration of deployment;
vii. resource order number(if available);
viii. incident number(if necessary); and
ix. applicable cost and funding codes (if necessary).
g. The resource tracking and mobilization processes are directly linked. When resources arrive on
scene, they must formally check in with the IC, Division Supervisor, Staging, or Check-In (Per
ICS). Check in starts the on-scene, in-processing and validates the order requirements. Notification
that the resource has arrived is sent back through the system.
Section 6. Compensation and Reimbursements
a. Compensation—
The parties agree that the resources available under this MMAA from each are equivalent by type
or credential and agree that the availability and provision of such constitute consideration under this
MMAA .
b. Costs—
The terns and conditions governing reimbursement for any assistance under this MMAA shall be
in accordance with the following prnvisions, unless otherwise agreed upon by the Requesting and
Assisting Parties.
i. Personnel — During the Initial Operations period of assistance, the Assisting Party shall
continue to pay its employees according to its prevailing ordinances, riles, and regulations.
This is considered to be the period of mutual aid. During Extended Operations or declared
emergency the Requesting Party shall reimburse the Assisting Party for all direct and indirect
payroll costs and expenses (including travel expenses) inCUTred excepting worker's
compensation due to injuries or death occurring while such employees are engaged in
rendering aid under this MMAA . Both the Requesting Party and the Assisting Party shall be
responsible for payment of such benefits otily to their respective employees.Personnel,
including those assigned to an Incident Management Team (IMT), must have adequate rest
and recuperation time, and facilities should be provided. Mobilization guides developed at
each jurisdictional level and within functional agencies provide appropriate rest and
recuperation time guidelines. Important occupational health and mental health issues must
also be addressed, including monitoring how such events affect emergency responders over
time.
Master Mutual Aid Agreement $
October 2010
ii. Equipment/non-expendable resources— The Assisting Party shall be reimbursed by the
Requesting Party for the use of its equipment during Extended Operations according to either
a pre-established local or State hourly rate, or according to the actual replacement, operation,
and maintenance expenses incurred. For those instances in which costs are reimbursed by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency, the eligible direct costs shall be detenrined in
accordance with 44 CFR 206.228 or by the Washington State Fire Service Mobilization for
firefighting equipment.
The Assisting Party shall pay for all repairs to its equipment deemed necessary by its on-site
supervisors to maintain such equipment in a safe and operable condition. At the request of the
Assisting Party, fuels, miscellaneous supplies, and minor repairs may be provided by the
Requesting Party, if practical. The total charges, if any, to the Requesting Party shall be
reduced by the total value of fuels, supplies, and repairs provided by the Requesting Party.
When damage or loss occurs to a non-expendable resource it should be fully accounted for at
the incident site and again when they are returned to the home unit. The Requesting Party is
responsible to restore the resource to a fully functional capability, if possible. Destroyed
beyond repair and/or lost items should be replaced through the incident Supply Unit, by the
organization with invoicing responsibility for the incident, or as defined in the Operations
Plan.
Materials and Supplies,/expendable resources—The Assisting Party shall cover all costs for all
materials and supplies furnished by it and used or damaged during the period of mutual aid,
unless such damage is caused by gross negligence, willful and wanton misconduct,
intentional misuse, or recklessness of the-Requesting Party's personnel. All Parties personnel
shall use reasonable care under the circumstances in the operation and control of all materials
and supplies used by therm during mutual aid.
Under declared emergencies or extended operations, reimbursements may be available.
Generally, the measure of reimbursemenL shall be determined in accordance with 44 CFR
206.228 or by the Washington State Fire Service Mobilization for firefighting expendable
materials. in the alternative,'the Parties may agree that the Requesting Party will replace, with
like kind and quality as determined by the Assisting Party, the materials and supplies used or
damaged. Further, materials, supplies, and expendable resources shall also be fully accounted
for at the incident and by the Assisting Party upon return. Restocking may occur at the
incident or at the point from which a resource was deployed. The incident management
organization may bear the costs of expendable resources, as authorized in preplanned
financial agreements or as defined in the Operations Plans.
Returned resources that are not in restorable condition--whether expendable or non-
expendable--must be declared as excess according to established regulations and policies of
the controlling entity. Waste management is of special note in the process of recovering
resources. Resources that require special handling and disposition (e.g., biological waste and
Master Mutual Aid Agreement 9
October 2010
contaminated supplies, debris, and equipment) are dealt with according to established
regulations and policies, .
iv. Other Cost Allocations - Some Parties to this MMAA may be charging for services or
contracting to provide services under a cost allocation formula. For example:
An agency may contract with a federal land management agency to provide services to lands
outside their jurisdictional boundary.
An agency may provide medical services outside their jurisdiction on a per incident basis.
Agencies will determine and document, in the Operations Plans, who will be responsible for
costs incurred by assisting agencies and these resources will be provided under separate
Contracts for Services outside of this MMAA.
c. Record Keeping—
The Assisting Party shall maintain records and submit invoices for reimbursement by the
Requesting Party using the format used by their respective administrative agency. Additional forms
and procedures may be required by FEMA publications, including 44 CFR, Part 13, applicable
Office of Management and Budget Circulars, and State requirements if the disaster provides for
reimbursements through the State from FEMA. Requesting Party and Division finance personnel
shall provide information, directions, and assistance for record keeping to Assisting Party
personnel.
d. Payment—
Unless otherwise mutually agreed in a written acknowledgment or contract for service, the
Assisting Party absorbs the cost for all reimbursable expenses, This shall not preclude an Assisting
Party or Requesting Party from assuming or donating, in whole or in part,the costs associated with
any loss, damage, expense or use of personnel, equipment and resources provided to a Requesting
Party.
e. Reimbursement—
Any Requesting Party may reimburse the Assisting Party rendering aid under this system. An
Assisting Party may detennine to donate assets of any kind to a Requesting Party.
Should any dispute arise concerning the enforcement, breach or interpretation of this Agreement,
the parties shall first meet in a good faith attempt to resolve the dispute. In the event such dispute
cannot be resolved by agreement of the parties, such dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration
pursuant to RCW 7.04A, as amended, and the Mandatory Rules of Arbitration (MAR); venue shall
he placed in Pasco, Franklin County, Washington, the laws of the State of Washington shall apply,
and the prevailing patty shall be entitled to its reasonable attorney fees and costs.
Personnel of a Party responding to or rendering assistance for a request who sustain injury or death
in the course of, and arising out of, their employment are entitled to all applicable benefits normally
Master Mutual Aid Agreement 10
October 2010
available to personnel while performing their duties for their employer. Responders shall receive
any additional state and federal benefits that may be available to them for line of duty deaths.
Section 7. Insurance, Indemnification/Liability, Claims, and Immunity
a. All activities performed under this MMAA are deemed hereby to be governmental functions. For
the purposes of liability, all persons responding under the operational control of the Requesting
Panty are dccmed to be employees of the Assisting,Party.
b. Insurance—Each Participating Government shall bear the risk of its own actions, as it does with its
day-to-day operations, and determine for itself what kinds of insurance, and in what amounts, it
should carry. Each Assisting Party shall be solely responsible for determining that its insurance is
current and adequate prior to providing assistance under this MMAA.. No eligibility or protection
offered under chapter 38.52 RCW will replace other state mandated insurance coverage required for
vehicles, vessels, boats, or aircraft except as specificd in 38.52.180 RCW. All resources are to be
covered for general liability, inland marine, auto liability and auto physical damage by the Assisting
Party.
c. Liability: Each Agency shall be responsible for the wrongful or negligent actions of its employees
as their respective liability shal l appear under the laws of the State of Washington and/or Federal
Law and this agreement is not intended to diminish or expand such liability.
i. To that end,each Agency promises to hold harmless and release all the other participating
Agencies from any loss,claim or liability arising from or out of the negligent or inactions of
its employees,officers and officials. Such liability shall be apportioned among the parties or
other at fault persons or entities in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington.
ii. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to:
a). Waive any defense arising out of RCW Title 51.
b). Limit the ability of a participant to exercise any right., defense,or remedy which a party
may have with respect to third parties or the off cer(s)whose action or inaction give rise
to loss,claim or liability including hut.not limited to an assertion that the officer(s)was
acting beyond the scope of his or her employment
c). Cover or require indemnification or payment of any judgment against any individual or
Agency for intentionally wrongful conduct outside the scope of employment of any

Master Mutual Aid Agreement 11
October 2010
employer, should that employer elect to make said payment voluntarily. This agreement
does not require indemnification of any punitive damage awards or for any order
imposing tines or sanctions.
d. Immunity from Liability, Volunteer Emergency Workers — Duly registered volunteer emergency
workers are exempt from some liability or covered for liability by the State of Washington
according to 38.52.180 RCW and 118.04 WAC. All parties to this MMAA agree to register all of
their volunteers as emergency workers with Franklin County Emergency Management. 118-04
WAC discusses volunteer emergency workers and their class scopes of duty. Each Party agrees to
be familiar with these class scopes of duty and understand who is or is not a volunteer emergency
worker under the RCW and WAC.
e. Evidence Search, Training Event and Mission Numbers —The State of Washington Emergency
Management Division will issue evidence search numbers, training event numbers and mission
numbers for use when training, meeting with, or using emergency workers in an actual incident.
Evidence search and training event numbers provide liability coverage for training events and
meetings t}nder 38.52 RCW. A mission number or evidence search number provides coverage for
emergency workers during actual missions as well as setting up a reference number for incident
resources requested from the State, should there be any. Parties to this MMAA will request training
event numbers and mission numbers through Franklin County Emergency Management or other
local authorized officials when using emergency workers according to 118.04 WAC and 38.52
RCW.
Section S. Interoperable Communications and Information Management
Effective communications, information management, and information and intelligence sharing are critical
aspects of domestic incident management, Establishing and maintaining a common operating picture and
ensuring accessibility and interoperability are principal goals of communications and information
management.
a, A common operating picture and systems interoperability provide the framework necessary to;
i. Formulate and disseminate indications and warnings.
ii. Formulate, execute, and communicate operational decisions at an incident site, as well as
between incident management entities across jurisdiction and functional agency lines.
iii. Prepare for potential requirements and requests supporting incident management activities;
and
iv. Develop and maintain overall awareness and understanding of an incident within and across
jurisdictions.
Master Mutual Aid Agreement 12
October 2010
b. Prior to an incident, entities responsible for taking appropriate pre-incident actions use
communications and infonmation management processes and systems to inform and guide various
critical activities. These actions include rnobili7,ation or pre-deployment of resources, as well as
strategic planning by preparedness organizations, MAC Groups, agency executives, jurisdictional
authorities, and EOC personnel. During an incident, incident management personnel use
communications and information processes and systems to convey the formulation, coordination,
and execution of operational decisions and requests for assistance.
C. The Parties to this MMAA recognize the importance of interoperable communications for
comunand and control of an incident. Agencies receiving assistance under this MMAA will be
responsible for establishing an appropriate communications link with all responding agencies prior
Io incident assignment. Agencies providing assistance agree not to engage their resources to the
mitigation of an incident until such time as effective communications are established.
d. Incident communications typically fall into four levels. Responsibility to ensure interoperable
communications and infornation sharing changes at each level;
Level 1 - These incidents involve a single discipline responding within a single jurisdiction.
Communications between the responders is established and requires no further action. The on-scene
IC is responsible to ensure appropriate communications and information sharing.
Level 2 - Multiple disciplines responding within a single jurisdiction. Communications systems are
usually compatible but current concept of operations may include response on individual
frequencies with a dispatcher assigned to each frequency. The host agency communications center
will be responsible to establish communications and information sharing links.
Level 3 - Multiple disciplines and jurisdictions responding within a single jurisdiction, In this
scenario you may encounter compatible and non-compatible communications systems.
Establishment of effective interoperable communications and information sharing will initially be
the responsibility of the host agency communications center. However, the hosting agency EOC is
ultimately responsible to establish and maintain interoperable communications and inf'onnation
sharing. This responsibility should be moved from the communications center to the EOC as
rapidly as possible.
Level 4 - Multiple disciplines, jurisdictions and levels of government responding throughout
multiple jurisdictions. While this scenario is probably a very rare event communications plans must
be established to minimize conflict and maximize the safety and utilization of resources.
Interoperable communications and information sharing planning for, and resources for, this event.
are the responsibility of local and State Emergency Management programs.
Master Mutual Aid Agreement 13
October 2010
Section 9, Qualifications and Certifications
a. The development of a national credentialing system is a fundamental component of the National
Incident Management System (NIMS). According to the NIMS, "credentialing involves the
provision of documentation that can authenticate and verify the certification and identity of
designated incident managers and emergency responders" to ensure that response personnel
;,possess a ininimum common level of training, currency, experience, physical and medical fitness,
and capability"for the roles they are tasked to fill.
b. The NIMS integration Center (NIC) initiated the development of a national credentialing system to
help governments at all levels identify, request and dispatch qualified emergency responders from
other jurisdictions when needed.
C. A national credentialing system ensures that personnel resources requested from another
jurisdiction to assist in a response operation are adequately trained and skilled. A national system to
verify the identity and qualifications of emergency responders will not provide automatic access to
an incident site. This system can serve to prevent unauthorized -- self-dispatched or unqualified
personnel— access to an incident site.
d. If a person or entity holds a license, certificate or other permit issued by a participating party or the
state evidencing qualification in a professional, mechanical or other skill and the assistance of that
person or entity is requested by a participating party, the person or entity shall be deemed to be
licensed, certified or permitted with the party requesting assistance for the duration of the declared
emergency or authorized drills or exercises and subject to any limitations and conditions the chief
executive of the participating party receiving the assistance may prescribe by executive order or
otherwise. The party owning or employing a resource is responsible to verify or certify the
credentials of a resource.
Section 10. Resource Sharing
a. Incident Resources refer to the combination of personnel and equipment required to enable incident
management operations. Resources may be organized and managed in three different ways,
depending on the requirements of the incident;
i. Single Resources- These are individual personnel and equipment items and the operators
associated with them.
ii. Task Forces - A Task Force is any combination of resources assembled and requested by the
Incident Commander in support of a specific mission or operational need. All resource
elements within a Task Force must have connmon communications and a designated leader.
iii, Strike Teams - Strike Teams are a set number of resources of the same kind and type that
have an established minimum number of personnel.
Master Mutual Aid Agreement 14
October 2010
iv. The use of Strike Teams and Task Forces is encouraged, wherever possible, to optimize the
use of resources, reduce the span of control over a large number of single resources, and
reduce the complexity of incident management coordination and communications.
b. The Incident Management Team(IMT) is comprised of interagency management level
representatives operating under ICS as section chiefs or other designated management functions.
This Team functions under a delegation of authority from the governmental agency requesting the
Team. The Teams function is to assume overall management of the on-scene functions of the
incident, including coordination and support of operations and resources,platming, maintaining
status and cost of resources utilized, record property losses,recommend needed disaster
declarations and other major governmental actions.

9/6: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. amending the Pasco
Municipal Code regarding state and federal and criminal background
checks and, further, authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$30 fee, plus direct costs payable by applicant
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) In a number of instances, the City code provides that a check of criminal history
or background be completed on a licensee/applicant prior to issuance. Recent
legislation at the state level provides access to federal criminal history
information (FBI) through the Washington State Patrol. Up to now, access to
information outside of the state has been limited.
B) Access to both state and federal criminal history will provide the City with better
information for malting licensing decisions and, therefore, provide better
protection to the public.
C) The attached draft ordinance incorporates a new fee section (3.07.075) as well as
a new process, as recommended by the FBI (5.08.045). The proposed $30 fee to
the City is expected to cover the City's processing casts; direct costs of other
agencies will be passed along to applicants.
U) Existing Code sections referring to/requiring criminal histories are amended to
reference the proposed new process. These are as follows:
• Section 3 -- 5.08.060 Solicitation License
• Section 4 — 5.12.018 Pawnbrokers and Second Hand Dealers
• Section 5 — 5.16A.040 Carnivals and Circuses
• Section 6 — 5.25.040 Dance Halls
• Section 7 —5.25.050 Public Dances
• Section 8 — 5.27.160 Adult Entertainment Facilities
• Section 9 — 5.27.170 Adult Entertainment Workers
