Pawlak, PE, City Engineer Regular Mtg.: 11/21/11 SUBJECT: Reject Bids for City Hall Roof Replacement, Project No. C6-11-15-GEN 1. REFERENCE(S): 1. Bid Summary II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 11/15: DISCUSSION 11/21: MOTION: I move to reject all bids received for the City Hall Roof Replacement, Project No. C6-11-15-GEN and, further, authorize staff to rebid the project. Ill. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact. Capital Improvement Funds remain available for rebid of the project. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) This project involves the replacement of the built-up roof on City Hall, with the exception of the second floor roof over the southeast wing. Replacement includes the removal of the existing roofing materials and installation of a new 3-ply roof. B) Staff received two (2) bids for the project: Leslie & Campbell, Inc. submitted a bid in the amount of $387,720.00, plus applicable sales tax; and Gillespie Roofing, Inc. submitted a bid in the amount of$345,500.00, plus applicable sales tax. The Engineer's Estimate for the project is $275,000.00, plus applicable sales tax. There was one additional contractor who initially indicated it would submit a bid, but who advised the City during the advertisement period that it would not submit due to current workload obligations. V. DISCUSSION: A) The City's approved budget amount for this improvement is $297,000.00. In as much as both bids received exceed the current budget, staff suggests that all bids be rejected due to budgetary constraints. Staff believes that the bids were higher than expected due to several reasons including: 1. The late time of the season - typically, the majority of large roofing projects are undertaken during the warmer, summer months when there are more hours of daylight for accomplishing work; 2. Existing contractor workloads - one contractor removed itself from the bidding due to heavy workloads, other potential contractors chose not to respond presumably for similar reasons; and 3. The uncertainty of weather conditions - the months of November, December and January typically bring colder temperatures and more precipitation resulting in more uncertainty for contractors to meet the stipulated number of contract days and raises concerns, for them, on potential weather-related delays and imposition of possible liquidated damages. B) Staff recommends rejection of all bids. Staff will attempt to confirm the likelihood of more competitive bids prior to readvertising the project. 3(c) City of Pasco City Hall Roof Replacement Project No. C6-11-15-GEN November 8, 2011 BID SUMMARY Total* Engineer's Estimate $2751000.00 1.

ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 11/15: DISCUSSION 11/21: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. authorizing the City Manager to sign an agreement with the Port of Pasco to co-apply for EDA Grant monies to complete the Heritage Rail Spur Project. III. FISCAL IMPACT: $300,000 match (approximately 20%of estimated$1.8 million project cost) IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A. The City, Port of Pasco, Benton Franklin Council of Governments , BNSF, and Franklin County have been working with private land owners to foster creation of the "Heritage Industrial Center," containing about 600 acres of industrial land south of East "A" Street (see Vicinity Map). The creation of Heritage Industrial Center is a result of one of the City's primary goals of fostering more industrial investment to expand the community's tax base. B. Improvements already implemented include extending Heritage Blvd from the SR12/Lewis Street interchange 'h mile south to "A" Street and the completion of the 1.5-mile "A" Street widening. Recently(July 20 10) a mainline rail switch and spur line were installed at the west end of the industrial center at a cost of approximately$818,000. This was phase one of a two-phase project to extend rail into the park from the west to the City property adjacent to Road 40 East. C. The cost estimate to complete the final phase of the project, the extension of track from the new switch to Road 40 East, is approximately $1.8 million. EDA has indicated that 80% of this may be available as a grant to the City. As the Port of Pasco will own, operate, and maintain the rail line, they are required to be a co- applicant with the City for any grant monies received. 3(d) 47,..

Motion: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , preserving property tax levy capacity for fiscal years after 2012 in accordance with State law. III. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The maximum allowed levy rate, per State statute, that the city can levy (per $1,000 of assessed value) is $3.60. The last time Pasco's levy rate was near that number was in 1994. From 1994 through 1999, the levy rate was reduced by not levying any of the allowable 6% increase available at that time. In November 1999, the legislature reduced the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) to $30 per vehicle. To compensate for this loss, Council elected to use most of the unused or banked levy capacity. The levy rate for 2000 taxes was set at $3.07 per $1,000 of assessed value — still well below the $3.60 maximum. In 2001, the voters approved Initiative 747, limiting the amount taxing districts could raise the property tax levy over the previous year by the lesser of 101% or the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD), without voter approval. In November 2007, that initiative was challenged and ruled unconstitutional in the Washington State Supreme Court; that decision returned the limit to the lesser of 6% or IPD. Council chose not to increase the 2008 property tax levy rate by any allowable legal limit. In January 2008, the legislature placed into law those limits (suggested by I-747). The legal limit was to be the lesser of 1% or IPD; this limit is still in effect today. IPD is a national inflation indicator much like the Consumer Price Index. The IPD figure to be used for the 2012 tax calculation is 2.755%. The preliminary budget document has been prepared using an estimated property tax levy of $6,200,000 which is less than Option 1 and Option 2 as can be seen in the attached Summary of Options. Option 1 reflects an increase of $61,124 allowed by the 101% limit while Option 2 retains 100% of the 2011 levy. Option 3 shows the maximum amount the City could collect if Council chose to levy all prior property tax authority that has been preserved for future use (according to the State Department of Revenue calculations). 7(a) Pasco has been holding steady and been buffered from the worst of the poor overall economic conditions that affect other parts of the country. The State of Washington's economic challenges could negatively affect 2012's outcomes if revenue sources from the state are sharply curtailed. The 2012 budget anticipates a 3.6% cut in certain state shared revenues. Overall major tax revenues for 2012 are projected to hold steady with 2011 year end estimates. Pasco has been fortunate in that our prior budgeting practices included conservative budgeting in several areas which has resulted in healthy fund balances to prepare the 2012 budget. Staff is projecting a $9.9 million beginning fund balance and a $6.7 million ending fund balance in the General Fund for next year. The property tax levy for 2012 will be comprised of the following three elements: 1. General Property Tax Levy 2. 1999 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Fire Station/Library Bonds Debt Service 3. 2002 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Refunding(1993) Bonds Debt Service The City is required to certify property tax levies with the County by November 30 of each year. IV. DISCUSSION: The Franklin County Assessor has provided a preliminary assessed valuation of$3,215,099,668 which is used to calculate the 2012 property taxes. This amount includes new construction of $99,251,700 and increase in the State assessed utilities values of$10,042,866. There were no annexations of property before the cutoff date of March 31St. The Franklin County Assessor's Office now re-assesses all properties in the County each year. GENERAL PROPERTY TAX LEVY Several options for setting the 2012 levy are outlined as follows: Option 1: Since the IPD of 2.755% is greater than I%, last year's levy would be increased by the allowed 1% of$61,124 plus the value of new construction, new annexations and any increases in State Assessed Utility values at last year's rate and adding those numbers to last year's total levy. • 2011 (prior year) Total General Property Tax Levy......................................$6,112,376 • I% increase in the levy rate based on the allowable maximum increase amount (lesser of IPD or 1%) .........................................................................................$61,124 • New Construction Values of$99,251,700 using the 2011(prior year) rate of $1.971575/$1,000 Assessed Value...................................................................$195,682 • New Annexation Values of$0 using the 2011 (prior year) rate of$1.971575/$1,000 AssessedValue..............................................................................................................0 • Increase in the State Assessed Utilities of$10,042,866 using the 2011 rate of $1.971575/$1,000 Assessed Value...................................................... $1 9,800 Total Proposed 2012 Levy $6,388,982 A 2012 General Levy of$6,388,982 using the assessed value of$3,205,056,802 calculates to a levy rate of$1.98718 per $1,000 of assessed value. Under this option, the 2012 levy rate would be approximately$0.02 per$1,000 more than the 2011 rate of$1.971575. Option 2: Council could choose not to assess the I% allowed and there would be no increase from 2011 to 2012's levy except to add increased value related to new construction, annexations and the changes in the value of State assessed utilities. This would set the levy rate at $1.96817 per $1,000 of assessed value. The decrease in the levy rate of$0.0034 is a function of changes in the assessed value between 2011 and 2012. Using Option 2, the 2012 total General Property Tax Levy would be $6,327,858. Under Option 2, the 2012 General Property Tax"base" levy would remain unchanged at$6,112,376 compared to the $61,124 increase as described in Option 1. Option 3: Beginning in 1993 and continuing through 2011, the City has preserved its accumulated taxing capacity of$6,286,501. If the City was to levy all of the tax available in Option 3 and choose to levy all the preserved levy capacity, the general levy would increase to $6,564,848. The levy rate would calculate to $2.04188 per $1,000 of assessed value, still well below the maximum rate allowed per State statute of $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed value. Selecting this option would require a"super majority"vote of the Council, or five affirmative votes. PRESERVING FUTURE LEVY CAPACITY Preserved levy capacity, also referred to as "banked" levy capacity, is NOT money that has been put into a bank account. It is merely capacity that has not been levied and, therefore, dollars left in the pockets of the taxpayers. The purpose of RCW 84.55.092 allowing a governmental entity to preserve future levy capacity is to "remove the incentive for a taxing district to maintain its tax levy at the maximum level permitted under this chapter, and to protect the future levy capacity of a taxing district that reduces its tax levy below the level that it otherwise could impose under this chapter,by removing the adverse consequences to future levy capacities resulting from such levy reductions." This simply means if the tax is not needed, a City does not have to set the levy at the maximum amount. The City can reserve that resource for future use. Preserving any unused levy capacity requires a"super majority"vote of the Council. A preservation ordinance has been prepared should any unused levy capacity be available to preserve. If council enacts Option 2, then the banked levy capacity for future years would be $236,990 which is highest lawful levy amount of $6,564,848 less the actual levy amount of $6,327,858. 1999 UNLIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND DEBT SERVICE The 2012 debt service requirement for the 1999 UTGO Bonds issued for the purpose of the Library Remodel and Fire Station Relocation is $63,445 and $80,355, respectively. Staff recommends the 1999 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Bond tax levy be set at those amounts. The two numbers are not combined because they appeared on the official ballot separately when voted upon. The county assessor's office requires we set these levies separately. The estimated assessed value for properties subject to the tax is $2,772,961,373; this will result in levy rates of approximately $0.02288 and $0.02898 respectively, or a combined levy rate of $0.05186. The 2011 levy rates were $0.02444 and $0.03095, respectively, or $0.05539 combined. The schedule of payments calls for principal payments of$100,000 each year. This will result in decreased levy rates for the remaining payment schedule as the interest portion declines. The final payment for these bonds occurs in December 2019. 2002 UNLIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS The 2002 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds were issued to refund the 1993 General Obligation Bonds to take advantage of lower interest rates available and save the taxpayer's money. The debt service requirements in 2012 for the 2002 UTGO Refunding Bonds is $378,600 and staff recommends the 2002 Unlimited General Obligation Refunding Bonds tax levy rate be set at that dollar amount. The assessed value for properties subject to the tax is estimated at $2,409,343,904. This equates to a levy rate of $0.1521 per $1,000 of assessed value. This is a slightly lower rate compared to the 2011 levy rate of$0.1564.

AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR THE 2012 AD VALOREM TAX LEVY, A LEVY FOR THE 1999 UNLIMITED TAX GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS AND A LEVY FOR THE 2002 UNLIMITED GENERAL OBLIGATION REFUNDING BONDS IN THE CITY OF PASCO IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: §1. The City Council of the City of Pasco (the population of which is greater than 10,000) has met and considered its budget for the calendar year 2012; §2. The City Council of the City of Pasco after public hearing and after duly considering all relevant evidence and testimony presented, determined that the City of Pasco requires a regular levy in the amount of $6,327,858, which does NOT include any of the allowable percentage increase in property tax revenues from the previous year, and does include amounts resulting from the addition of new construction and improvements to property and any increases in the value of state-assessed property, and amounts authorized by law as a result of any annexations that have occurred and refunds made, in order to discharge the expected expenses and obligations of the district. RCW 84.55.120 requires a specific statement regarding the amount of any increase in regular property tax from the previous year. The actual general levy amount from the previous year (2011) was $6,112,376. The City Council of the City of Pasco hereby authorizes the following increase in the regular property tax levy to be collected in the 2012 tax year. The dollar amount of the increase over the actual levy amount from the previous year shall be $0 (ZERO) which is a percentage INCREASE of 0% (ZERO PERCENT) from the previous year. This increase is exclusive of additional revenue resulting from the addition of new construction and improvements, newly constructed wind turbines to property, any increase in the value of state assessed property, and any additional amounts resulting from any annexations that have occurred and refunds made. The property tax from new construction to be included in the actual levy is calculated to be $195,682. This number is the result of the amount of new construction and improvements to property of$99,251,700, provided by the Franklin County Assessor's Office, multiplied by the 2011 (prior year) levy rate of $1.971575 per $1,000 of that value. The property tax from increased value in State assessed utilities is calculated to be$19,800. This number is the result of the increase in value of State assessed utilities of$10,042,866 multiplied by the 2011 (prior year) levy rate of $1.971575 per $1,000. There was no additional amounts resulting from any annexations that have occurred or refunds made. §3. A tax for the following sums of money which includes new construction and annexations to defray the expense and liabilities of the City of Pasco be and the same is hereby levied for the purposes specified against all taxable property in the City for the fiscal year 2012: General Expense, including Councilmanic Bond Debt Service $6,327,858 1999 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Bond/Library Remodel 63,445 1999 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Bond/Fire Station 80,355 2002 Unlimited Tax General Obligation Refunding Bonds 378,600 $6,850,258 §4.

City of Pasco: Matt Watkins, Mayor Attest: Approved As To Form: Debra L. Clark, City Clerk Leland B. Kerr, City Attorney ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE PRESERVING THE PROPERTY TAX LEVY CAPACITY IN THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON FOR FISCAL YEARS AFTER 2012 IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW. WHEREAS, to provide the property tax revenues required by the general operating budget of the City for fiscal year 2012, City Council of the City of Pasco levied property taxes on all taxable property in the City for collection in fiscal year 2012 in the total amount of $6,327,858, which dollar amount is the sum of(a) $6,112,376 which is the amount of property taxes levied by the City in fiscal year 2011, plus (b) $0 of the allowable increase of the lesser of 1% or the Implicit Price Deflator (2.755%), (c) $195,682, which is the amount of additional taxes at the 2011 (prior year) levy rate of 1.971575 cents per $1,000 of assessed value resulting from the addition of new construction and improvements to property in the City, plus (d) $0 relating to property annexed into the City during fiscal year 2011, and (e) $19,800, which is the amount of additional taxes at the 2011 (prior year) levy rate of 1.971575 cents per $1,000 of assessed value resulting from the increase in value of State-assessed utility property in the City; and, WHEREAS, the City Council of the City desires to preserve in accordance with State law (including but not limited to Chapter 84.55 RCW) the capacity of the City to levy property taxes in future fiscal years after 2012, calculated as if the City in fiscal year 2011 had levied the full amount allowed by state law upon a finding of substantial need therefore; and WHEREAS, upon a finding of substantial need and based upon limit factors of the lesser of 101% or IPD (2.755%) for the previous year and limit factors of 101% or 106% and IPD for previous years as provided by RCW 84.55.0101 and $3.60 per$1,000 of assessed value by RCW 84.52.043 and 41.16.060, the City would be permitted to levy property taxes for fiscal year 2012 in a total amount of$6,564,848 (the "full amount allowed by law"), which dollar amount is the sum of (a) $6,349,366 (the lesser of the amount calculated by multiplying the allowable 2011 property tax levy of$6,286,501 times the limit factor of 101% (the lesser of 101% or IPD or the $3.60 per $1,000 statutory limitation),plus (b) $195,682, which is the amount of additional taxes at the 2011 (prior year) levy rate of$1.971575 cents per $1,000 of assessed value resulting from the addition of new construction and improvements to property in the City, plus (c) $0 for property annexed into the City during fiscal year, and (d) $19,800, which is the amount of additional taxes at the 2011 (prior year) levy rate of $1.971575 cents per $1,000 of assessed value resulting from the increase in value of State assessed utility; and WHEREAS, the full amount allowed by law for fiscal year 2012 of $6,564,848 is $236,990 greater than the actual property tax levy of the City for fiscal year 2012 of$6,327,858 and such excess represents the unused 2012 property tax levy capacity that the City desires to preserve for future fiscal years after 2012; NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. The City Council of the City finds and determines that there is substantial need for the City to preserve, for future fiscal years after 2012, the capacity to levy property taxes on all taxable property in the City in the amount of$236,990, which is equal to the unused levy capacity of the City for fiscal year 2012. This substantial need includes, without limitation, the anticipated future requirements for additional property tax revenues that will be needed for the construction and/or maintenance of roads, streets, bridges and other transportation facilities of the City; to satisfy anticipated and unanticipated new regulatory requirements applicable to the City; to provide for potential excess costs of capital facilities; and generally to meet other substantial future financial requirements of the City. Section 2. This ordinance shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage and five days following its publication as required by law. ADOPTED by the City Council by the affirmative vote of a majority plus one vote of the members thereof and APPROVED by the Mayor of Pasco, Washington, at a regular open public meeting thereof, this 21 st day of November, 2011. Matt Watkins,Mayor ATTEST: Debra L. Clark, City Clerk APPROVED AS TO FORM: Leland B. Kerr, City Attorney AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council November 15, 2011 TO: Gary Crutchfie Manager Regular Mtg.: 11/21/11 FROM: Stan Strebel, eputy City Manager SUBJECT: City Council Districts I. REFERENCE(S): 1. Map/Matrix of Current Council Districts 2. Map/Matrix District Adjustment Option 1 3. Map/Matrix District Adjustment Option 2 4. Chart on Redistricting— Franklin County II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL /STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 11/21 MOTION: I move to select Option #2 as the tentative plan for realignment of City Council district boundaries. III. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) RCW 29A.76.010 provides that governments redistrict their units based on the most recent federal census. The City is required to "prepare a plan for redistricting" and submit the same to the County Auditor by December 8, 2011. (Thereafter, all redistricting changes must be finalized by April 30, 2012.) While this deadline makes sense for county and other elections which will be held in 2012, it is not nearly as critical for cities, who hold elections in odd years (2013). B) As Council is considering the possibility of changing the number of districts vs. at-large positions in the City (indeed, the National Citizen Survey, which will go to residents in November, asks respondents to respond to this question) to more effectively deal with growth trends, it may be best to prepare a redistricting "plan" based on the current 5-District, 2-At Large configuration at this time, to satisfy the requirements of the law, than to attempt any significant changes, for which Council does not have complete information prior to the December 8 deadline. C) Fortunately, census numbers, only recently received from the County, suggest only minor modifications are needed to bring the City's current Council District plan into compliance with our PMC (Chapter 1.10). 2010 Census numbers show that while District 1 is more than 10% larger than other districts, District 3 is smaller by almost the same amount. Relative balance between districts can be achieved by changing one precinct (either #13 as in Option 1 or #3 as in Option 2) from District 1 to District 3. D) Council has additional time to consider this matter which can be scheduled for further discussion on November 28 and December 5. V. DISCUSSION: A) Staff is inclined to suggest submittal of either Option as the City's "plan" to the County by the December 8 deadline. As further information is available, the Council will then be able to decide if a new approach to the districting plan is needed. 10(a) �.sp a■q� A I1.rr ,�� ■ r!���i�l 11 �Ill � C 1 • ■.
