I. REFERENCE(S):
H. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/ STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
01/09: Discussion
01117: MOTION: 1 move to approve the formation of a Community Resource Team to
provide input on the development of the City's Comprehensive Sewer
Plan.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
TV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) In September 2011, the City of Pasco authorized Murray, Smith and Associates, Inc.
(MSA), to assist the City in the creation of a Comprehensive Sewer Plan, The
Comprehensive Sewer Plan will provide a holistic approach to addressing the City's
wastewater collection and treatment needs to meet flows, loads and regulatory
demands now and for the foreseeable future.
B) MSA is currently working with City staff in the development of the Comprehensive
Sewer Plan. The initial tasks of the Comprehensive Sewer Plan that are nearly
complete are the evaluation and review of existing facilities, including development
of a sewer system model, determining design capacities and assessing current facility
conditions.
C) Work remaining as part of the Comprehensive Sewer Plan will include evaluating
alternatives to meet current and future wastewater management needs and
development of the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) that will define sewer system
facility recommendations, including the potential for a second wastewater treatment
facility to meet the City's future needs.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) As part of the Comprehensive Sewer Plan work program, MSA is tasked to support
the City with public involvement elements associated with the Plan. One aspect of
the public involvement program is to establish a Community Resource Team (CRT),
commonly referred to as an Advisory Committee. The Community Resource Team
consists of local citizens representing the community, local business and other key
stakeholders, selected by the City for their knowledge of community interests, their
diversity of thought and access to both formal and informal stakeholders.
B) The CRT is anticipated to consist of 5-7 citizen members. CRT members will not
need to have any specific technical knowledge of sewer systems but should have an
interest in the community and be willing to actively participate. Members will be
requested to commit to a term of one year and will be required to review progress
documents (e,g, technical memos). It is anticipated that the CRT will meet three to
four times over the year to provide input to City staff and the consultant.
C) Staff recommends solicitation of interest over the next couple of weeks with Mayoral
appointments of up to seven members by the end of the month/early February, to
accommodate the consultant's work schedule.

1. Draft Letter
11. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/ STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/9: Discussion
1117: MOTION: 1 move to accept the recommendations of the Estate Fence
Committee and, further, authorize the Mayor to sign the proposed
letter to property owners.
111. FISCAL IMPACT:
Property Owners: anticipate approximately $7 per If
City: in kind, parks crew, community service, school volunteers
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The Estate Fence Committee (consisting of Mayor Watkins, Councilmembers
Francik and Yenney, as well as Joe Cruz from the Planning Commission, and
Dwayne Speer from the Code Enforcement Board), appointed to consider the
problem with estate fencing around some subdivisions has met a number of times
since its appointment and is ready to move toward a meeting involving interested
property owners.
B) The Committee has concentrated on the problems associated with the fencing
around Montgomery Estates (Road 100) and Loviisa Farms (Road 100, Chapel
Hill Blvd and Road 84) due to a poor quality original product and graffiti issues.
The fence breaks easily and has been difficult to clean from frequent graffiti. The
Committee proposes to meet with adjacent property owners to discuss a possible
replacement solution. The following statement (or similar) is noted on the plats
for the respective subdivisions: "The City may make repairs or replace the fencing
as needed. Property owners adjoining said fence shall be responsible for payment
that is reasonable, under the circumstances, for the City to perform and coordinate
the installation of new materials, if material costs are paid by property owners.
Cedar slats are recommended due to availability, cost and durability.
C) There are approximately 120 affected property owners with some 8,400 ft of
defective fence, about 70 If per property.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The attached letter has been reviewed by the committee and is ready for the
Mayor's signature, assuming concurrence by the rest of the City Council.
3(d)
January 17; 2012
Dear Property Owner:
As I am sure you are aware, the "estate" or perimeter fencing that was originally installed by the
developer in your area is proving, to be a maintenance problem. It is easily broken and several
areas have been plagued with graffiti. This has led to an overall poor appearance which
threatens lowered property values and encourages further damage by certain individuals. The
City has recently been evaluating options for correcting this problem that will provide a stronger
fence and also allow for repeated graffiti removal while restoring the fence appearance to near
new conditions.
The original fencing material is no longer available for purchase (and would be less than
satisfactory if it were), resulting in the likelihood that, without a uniform remedy to address the
problem, individual efforts to repair the fence will fall short of achieving the uniformity and
pleasing appearance as required by the subdivision plat approval, and which the original fencing
provided.
You may be aware that the plat for the Loviisa Farms #5 Subdivision (NOTE: the language for
each plat in Montgomery Estates or Loviisa Farms may vary slightly; will use appropriate
language for each property) includes the following stipulation: "Common fencing shall be
installed along Broadmoor Boulevard. The City may make repairs or replace the fencing as
needed. Property owners adjoining said fence shall be responsible for payment of all costs
associated with maintenance and upkeep."
We would like to invite you to attend a neighborhood meeting to discuss how we can team with
you in transitioning from the current poor fencing situation to a much more available and
maintainable product thereby restoring a pleasant perimeter around your neighborhood. The
meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 1 at 7:00 pm at Chiawana High School, Room
4 We hope to see you then.
If you have questions prior to the meeting, please contact Stan Strebel at 543-5760.
Sincerely,
Matt Watkins
Mayor

conduct a public hearing to consider vacating a portion of
Pueblo Street, Superior Street, Utah Avenue, Nevada Avenue
and Wyoming Avenue.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
NONE
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. The owner (Kim Mickelson) of a parcel of land in the 1100 block of Utah Avenue
(Lot 2, 13SP 2006-07) has written a Ietter requesting Pueblo Street between Utah
Avenue and Nevada Avenue be vacated. The property owner plans to develop his
lot for his construction business. Part of the development process requires the
improvement of all abutting right-of-way. In this case the property owner would
be responsible for street improvements along Utah Avenue and Pueblo Street.
Pueblo Street is a street identified in the Oregon Avenue Circulation Plan as a
street that should be vacated.
B. In early discussions on this matter staff encouraged Mr. Mickelson to pursue the
vacation of Pueblo Street. Street vacations may be initiated by a petition from
two thirds of the affect property owners or by a resolution adopted by the City
Council. In this case half of the abutting property is owned by the Shriners. The
Shriner Office in Florida (where the property is managed from) was apprehensive
about signing a vacation petition. Staff has discussed the matter with the Shriners
by phone and in writing (see Ref ft 5) indicating the City has determined there is
no public need for Pueblo Street and the vacation process could be initiated by the
City Council. The Shriners have not contacted City staff since August of 2011.
The third property owner involved (to the east of M:ickelson's property) has been
supportive of past vacations in the area having signed a petition in 2006 for
vacation of the north 10 feet of Pueblo Street.
C. Many years ago the City Council, with input from the Planning Commission,
determined there was no public purpose for Pueblo Street and several other
3(h)
undeveloped streets within the Frey's Addition. In this respect Mr. Michelson's
vacation request is a small portion of what can be vacated and still maintain the
framework of an acceptable circulation system in the area. With much of the
property surrounding Mr. Mickelson's under one ownership (the Shriners) there is
an opportunity to undertake a larger vacation. All of Puehlo Street east of Utah
Avenue can be vacated along with Nevada Avenue and Wyoming Avenue
between Superior Street and Salt Lake Street.
D. Staff is recommending the Council move forward with this matter by initiating the
vacation of the right-of-way discussed above by Council Resolution. Approval of
this Resolution only sets a public hearing on the matter; Council is not obligated
to actually vacate any part of the subject streets. The earliest regular City Council
meeting available for a public hearing, which provides the statutory 20-day
hearing notice, is February 21, 2012.

Re: Pueblo St.,east of Utah Ave., Pasco
We,Kim and Sue-Ann Nickelson,are the property owners of 1105 Utah Avenue,and
we are considering putting up a commercial building on our property.
We are asking that the Pasco City Council consider vacating a portion of Pueblo Street,
immediately east of Utah Ave., in East Pasco. The City of Pasco wants this street vacated
in this area, and although the majority land owner, The Shriner's,doesn't want to start the
proceedings, they are not opposed to the City of Pasco vacating this street.
Thank-you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,

RE: Street Vacation in Pasco, Washington
Dear Mr. Guthrie:
This letter is a follow-up to the discussion we had earlier in the year regarding a request to
vacate a portion of Pueblo Street bordering a segment of the Shriners property in Pasco (see
neap). One of the property owners abutting Pueblo Street has again asked the City to proceed
with vacating the street. The City Council is permitted by law (RCW 35.79.010) to initiate
street vacations without the receipt of a petition from property owners. This is typically done
in cases where there is no public purpose for the retention of a particular street right-of-way.
Many years ago the Planning Commission and City Council determined that Pueblo Street
served no public purpose and could be vacated. Vacated right-of-way reverts back to the
property it originally came from. In this case, when Pueblo Street is vacated the south half of
the right-of-way would become Shriners property. Shriners would pick up an additional 40'
by 270' strip of land at no cost to Shriners. Your property would still have access from Utah
Avenue, Salt Lake Street and Nevada Avenue.
The monetary benefit that accrues to your property as the result of vacating Pueblo Street
could be substantial. Property owners are responsible for developing all unimproved right-
of-way abutting their property, Those improvements include curb, gutter, sidewalk,
handicapped ramps, road base, pavement, catch basins, storm drains, street lights, signage,
stripping, utilities and fire hydrants. The vacation of Pueblo Street will eliminate the need
for these costly improvements.
As we begin to process the street vacation you will be mailed a notice of the hearing. In the
interim if you have any questions let me know.
Sincerely,
David McDonald
City Planner

1. Proposed Ordinance
2. Stormwater Fund Analysis
11. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/09 Discussion
1/17 MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No adjusting the
stormwater utility rates effective February 1, 2012 and, further, to
authorize the publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
(Stormwater Utility, Utility Tax)
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) On 3/21/11 council approved a stoninwater rate increase of$1.20 per month (from
$1.80 to $3.00) as well as an offsetting decrease of$ 1.20 per month in sewer.
This increase was a preliminary estimate to increase stormwater revenues
sufficiently to meet current stormwater costs pending a formal rate analysis to
determine the long-term rate requirements.
B) The formal rate analysis for the stormwater fund was recently completed. The
analysis shows an additional rate increase is needed to provide approximately
$340,000 per year additional resources to meet current operating needs, perform
minimal capital improvements and to restore fund balance to the target 15% of
annual operating expenses. Under option A) below this would raise the rate$0.90
per month to $3.90.
C) With the proposed rate adjustments,the City's residential stormwater rate would
compare with those of neighboring cities as shown below:
Kennewick $2.65
Yakima $3.58
Richland $3.85
Pasco $3.90
Walla Walla $6.30
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The required stormwater rate revenue could be generated via a 30% increase
effective February 1, 2012. The 2012 Stormwater rate would increase by $0.90
per month (from $3.00 to $3.90). This alternative was used to prepare the 2012
budget.
B) Staff recommends approval of the 30% increase effective February 1, 2012.

3, City Engineer's Detennination
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL/ STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1117: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. , setting 7:00 p.m., Monday,
February 6, 2012, as the time and date to conduct a hearing to consider
sidewalk installation on Hugo Avenue between Alton and Lewis Streets.
Ill. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. LID 149 for the northern portion of the Kurtzman neighborhood was formed at the December
19"' COI l Council Meeting and is in the 30 day protest period. The LID uses Block Grant and
owner contributions to pay for the infrastructure improvements. Use of Block Grant funds in
LID 149 has resulted in 55% of the total project cost estimate to be paid for with federal
funds. In addition, CDBG monies will be requested in the 2013 allocation process for LID
assistance to qualifying low/moderate income households once construction is complete.
B. Efforts to obtain right of way dedication from property owners and participation in this last
phase of the neighborhood improvement project have been underway since 2010.
C. Improvements under an LID must be located within the public right of way. Most properties
on Hugo have dedicated needed right of way but four owners have not. Tiiis will result in
installation of curb and gutter adjacent these four properties through LID 149, but not the
installation of sidewalk. The net effect will be an irregular pattern of sidewalk installation on
Hugo between Alton and Lewis Streets that compromises pedestrian safety.
D, The City Engineer has determined that continuous installation of sidewalk within the LID 149
area is necessary for public safety and convenience. PMC 12.08 allows installation of public
sidewalk through Council Order under these circumstances. The process is similar to the local
improvement district process, and provides for a lien against the property if sidewalk
installation does not occur within the time specified by the Council Order,
V. DISCUSSION:
A. Neighborhood improvements in areas lacking infrastruCr.;re is a longstanding Council goal.
The use of CDBG monies for an area-wide benefit and for LID assistance reduces the impact
of improving neighborhood infrastructure on low/moderate income households,
B. If City Council indicates that sidewalk must be installed, the remaining four property owners
may decide to dedicate the right of way and use the LID process to install sidewalk. If
property is not dedicated and sidewalk is not installed through the LID process, then the
owners must install at their own higher costs through individual contractor agreements.
C. Individual installation of sidewalk outside of LID 149 is estimated to cost S20 per linear foot.
compared to $12 per linear foot through LID 149. The final actual cost of individual
installation is mostly dependen*, on contractor availability for smaller protects and time of
installation.
D, The decision by the remaining four property owners to dedicate necessary right of way and
participate fully in LID 149 should be concluded before the project goes to bid — by early
March. Towards that end, a public hearing should be held to provide the opportunity for
public comment on mandatory installation of sidewalk through PMC 12.08.

Re: Sidewalk Construction within Local Improvement District#149
At your request and at the direction of City Council, Engineering Division staff has
reviewed the areas along Hugo Avenue, Cedar Avenue and Afton Street located within the
proposed Local Improvement District #149 (LID #149). These streets are currently
unimproved and do not have sidewalks or other pedestrian facilities.
Sidewalks are an urban amenity that provide pedestrians with a safer alternative to
walking within the travelled way (roadway). One of the primary reasons for establishing
LID#149 is to improve the street and frontage infrastructure, including providing sidewalks
along this particular residential neighborhood. Installation of the sidewalks will provide the
neighborhood with a safer pedestrian environment than what currently exists.
There are, however, a few properties which have not dedicated the necessary right-of-way
to construct sidewalks. These "missing segments" provide a larger safety issue than no
sidewalks at all. Once sidewalks are installed, the pedestrian has the expectation that
there will be a continuous sidewalk facility. The missing, sidewalk segments will not
provide a consistent walkway surface for pedestrians including persons with disabilities.
The surfaces will likely be rough and uneven as well as potentially soft during periods of
wet weather. The surface unevenness will also provide the potential for tripping hazards
and possibly prevent access to those residents with mobility issues. The missing sidewalk
segments will essentially jeopardize the ability of the sidewalk facilities along the streets to
conform to the current Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA) requirements.
Because of these issues, it is my determination that continuous sidewalk be constructed
within the area of LID #149. It is my recommendation that City Council require property
owners within LID #149 who have not dedicated the necessary right-of-way for sidewalk
construction along their frontage, to construct new sidewalk at their own cost. Such
sidewalk shall conform to current ADA requirements and match the sidewalk being
constructed by the LID.

1/9: Discussion
1/17: MOTION: l move to approve Resolution No. revising City policy
on required street improvements on Oregon Avenue.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City Council adopted Resolution No. 2337 in 1997 to affirm City policy on
required street improvements in the Oregon Avenue corridor. The corridor area is
shown in the attachment to Ordinance No. 3255, attached hereto. The intent of
the resolution was to set forth the right-of-way improvements required for
development in the area with the exception of Oregon Avenue. Oregon Avenue
was exempted due to its designation as a State Highway.
B) As the City is undertaking a process, in conjunction with WSDOT, to determine a
plan for the future needs and improvements required along Oregon Avenue, it is
important to state the City's intent as well as to repeal language in the prior
resolution which may be contrary to the direction that the plan will take.
C) The proposed Resolution will act to repeal language in Resolution No. 2337,
regarding Oregon Avenue that is in conflict with current direction (and thus,
confusing to property owners and developers).
D) The proposed Resolution also sets out interim development requirements for

1/9: Discussion
1/17: MOTION: C move to approve Resolution No. , endorsing a regional
emergency communications system and urging the public safety
agencies within Franklin County to implement such a system in
calendar year 2012.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
See below.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Since the early 1970s, Pasco has relied on the Franklin County Sheriff's Office
(FCSO) for emergency dispatch and communications (radio) services. As the
Tri-Cities has grown and matured as an increasingly metropolitan region, coupled
with Pasco's own surge in residential growth over the past decade, the
sociological barrier once presented by the Columbia River has all but disappeared.
With the growth of cell phones and other technological changes in the way
citizens communicate as well as the obvious need for interoperability between
emergency responders, the need for improved emergency communications within
the metropolitan area has become pronounced (see reference ##2, memorandum
from Fire Chief),
B) The two counties in late 2010 contracted with a national consulting firm (e-Gov)
last year to study the current emergency communications systems, with the
objective of identifying interoperability improvements and a regional governance
model. The study was completed in October and found the existing circumstances
of two separately governed dispatch centers and two separate radio systems (one
in VHF and the other 800 MH) to be unnecessarily complex, deficient in service
f=unction and financially wasteful. The report recommends that through the use of
available technology, the two radio systems can be operated in tandem under a
single governance structure, thus improving not only interoperability and
emergency back-up capability, but reducing public cost as well.
8(d)
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The need for "interoperability" (direct communication between separate
emergency responder agencies) is not only for the extraordinary emergency. It has
become essential for daily law enforcement operations as criminal movement
across the river has become commonplace. Operational testing of the two radio
systems in Pasco reveals that the g00 MflZ system provides a much more clear
and reliable communication method between individual law enforcement officers
as well as between officers and dispatch in the conduct of their daily operations.
These are critical considerations in the conduct of law enforcement operations
(see reference 93, memorandum from Police Chief).
B) The e-Gov study suggests that the current systems can and should be joined and
governed under a single regional board, thus providing the interoperability and
real-time backup capability for emergency communications over both counties.
The single entity governance could also reduce the regional cost by eliminating
duplicative staff and technology costs. Indeed, after Pasco staff analyzed existing
costs of the various emergency communication services presently used by the
city's emergency departments versus the suggested allocation of cost under the
regional concept, it is apparent that regionalization of the system will not cost
Pasco any more than it will spend in 2012 and, more likely, will decrease. And
contrary to initial assUunptions, the annual cost for Franklin County will decrease
(see reference 44).
C) In short, the single regional system, if structured similar to the e-Gov
recommendations, would accomplish the following:
• Eliminate misdirected cell phone calls to 911, thus improving the response
time to those emergencies;
• Improve the clarity of communication for law enforcement operations within
the urban area;
• Expand the emergency communication options for law enforcement;
• Provide an opportunity to manage the delivery of emergency communication
services through a regional governance structure;
• Reduce total public cost of emergency communications within the bi-county
region.
D) The cities of Kennewick, Richland, West Richland and Prosser have all endorsed
the e-Gov study recommendations, as has both Benton County and Franklin
County Board of Commissioners. The two county commissions recently
requested the state fund a technical study of how to implement a central call
center, to include funding opportunities. It is hoped that the crrrrnties' study will
be completed by April.
E) Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposed Resolution to endorse
the e-Gov recommendations. In addition, the Resolution urges all public safety
agencies in Franklin County (as well as Pasco staff) to take all appropriate steps
necessary to implement a regional governance model for emergency
communications, to include 800 MHZ radio communications for Pasco law
enforcement, not later than December 2012.

From: Robert Gear, Fire Chief
Re: Bi-County Communications Platform
The issue of communications between the dispatch centers and responders within Benton and Franklin
counties continues to be an issue. We have recently completed a"high elevation" study by the consulting
group e-gov, which showed graphically the problems and possible solutions that we face. As you are
aware, responder communications is not the only problem, communications between the public and the
911 answering points is increasingly become a problem as the phone systems switch from primarily hard
wire systems to wireless (cellphone) systems. This problem is going to become even more severe as we
attempt to "catch up" to what's commonly tensed "next gen. 91 1" which is going to be more text and
video based.
While the fire service in the area is not plagued with the radio communications issues that the law
agencies have, we have a significant resource allocation issue that needs to be addressed to maximize our
efficiencies. I have outlined a brief history and some supporting information to the e-gov
recommendations.
Background;
A) For many years the dispatch centers serving Benton and Franklin counties operated with a
minimal amount of communications between the centers. As the communities grew and
political boundaries were no longer a barrier to providing services this lack of
communications became a more significant issue.
B) The Bi-County Police Information (BiPin) system was an initial effort to cross political
boundaries with essential law enforcement information. BiPin was the only communications
link between Benton County and Franklin county Law enforcement agencies. The need to
update the records management component of BiPin led to both dispatch centers choosing a
common Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) system in 2005. BiPin is currently a "separate"
entity linked to the CAD in Benton County and the CAD in Franklin counties and provides
shared law enforcement information.
C) Although the same CAD provider was required for BiPin to operate within both counties, no
effort was made to provide for CAD to CAD communications.
D) Recause of technological limitations in the early days of 911 implementation it was necessary
to have separate 911 Public Safety Answering Points (PSAP's) in Benton and Franklin
Counties. When the majority of 911 calls were land line phone completed this was not a
problem. However, currently over 80% of the 911 calls initiate from cell phones and some of
those calls are directed to the incorrect dispatch center. In addition to misdirected calls the
next generation of 911 users is coming and they don't communicate the same as the past
generation. In addition Federal law has mandated that hearing impaired must have equal
access to emergency communications through text messaging that they utilized in the past
through the TTY system. What this means is 911 answering points must be able to receive
and process text message requests for help as well as video transmissions of crime in
progress. Not only must we be able to receive these messages but there is an expectation that
they can be quickly passed to a field unit to view_
E) Franklin County Emergency Management received a $75,000 Interoperable Communication
Grant in October of 2010 to study the best method of developing interoperable
communications between the dispatch centers serving Benton and Franklin counties. This
grant was used to fund the e-gov study.
F) Due to the high costs of technology neither Dispatch center has been able to develop"live"
backup capability for their actual buildings,communications and information systems. In the
event of a major failure field units operating within their respective counties will be literally
"on their own"
G) Franklin and Benton counties Board of Commissioners have asked the Washington State
Enhanced 91 1 office to conduct a technical study of combining the 911 PSAP for Franklin
County and the 911 PSAP for Benton County into a single PSAP.
Recommendations;
A) Improve service delivery through streamlined, interoperable systems. Deployment of
fire/ems and law enforcement resources within the urban area is essential to meeting the
growing service demands with limited funding. When the collective fire agencies within
the Tri-cities urban area operate autonomously none of them individually can fully staff a
working residential fire. Working through one communications systems that views the
urban area as a single resource pool has allowed us to staff two working fires
simultaneously.
B) Reduce ongoing upgrade and maintenance costs. Beaton and Franklin counties operate
the same make/model of CAD system in two counties, with each system being separated,
with limited communications through the BiPin link. This same CAD system
make/model operates from a single system serving whole countries in multiple dispatch
locations(New Zealand, Belgium). These two systems must be individually licensed
annually and upgraded every two to three years to maintain current technology. Both
centers must maintain a CAD administrator to operate the separate systems, however one
is not"allowed"to touch the others system.
C) Provide for backup of both systems and dispatch capabilities. While both counties
operate the same CAD system, there is no backup to either system,outside the walls of
their facilities. The technological equipment associated with the CAD system is not in
buildings or rooms tnlly designed as"Server Centers". Something as simple as a broken
sprinkler head could wipeout all the technology and information within one dispatch
center. Neither county has a"live" backup to their ongoing information. Again, loss of
either centers operationnl capability will result in missed 911 calls, officers on the street
without vital information or a contact, fire/ems units unable to call for additional
resources to an incident, or in other words,a complete loss of response capability for an
indefinite period of time. By operating from two separate centers, sharing a single CAD
data base, with backup 911 answering capability at each center we can eliminate this risk
without additional costs.
D) Reduce support complexity. With the current"system of systems" it is very difficult to
maintain and impossible to maximize the efficiency. Each part of the systems from radio
to CAD to BiPin has separate organizational responsibilities. There are currently at least
seven different parties responsible for a portion of CAD, BiPin and radio
communications system between the two counties, Trying to isolate and repair a problem
is time consuming and more expensive than it should be.

MEMORANDUM
Bob Metzger, Police Chief
TO: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
FROM Bob Metzger, Police Chief
RE: Reasons for reviewing the 800 MHZ system
DATE: 12-21-2011
Since my arrival here over 2 months ago I have been reviewing our current radio system as well as the
proposed regionalized 800 MHZ system. I have carefully reviewed the E-Gov study and with my
background in combined central dispatch systems in several communities, I wanted to determine if this
proposal would be good for our department and improve the safety of officers. It did not take long for
me to realize that our current system is not working as well as it could and that we have a readily
available solution to our problems that can be done very easily and quickly.
Over the past 20+years many police agencies across the country have been moving toward a single
radio system to be used jointly by several agencies. The events of 9/11 made it clear to all public
safety agencies that interoperability of radio systems is important for the safety of not only officers but
also the public, Based on my experiences with an 800 MHZ police radio system and my review of the
E-Gov study, I would recommend that we continue our efforts at becoming part of a regionalized
dispatch system for the following reasons:
Our current system has limitations. These limitations include:
• interoperability — We cannot communicate with any department in Benton County, even though we
work with them on a daily basis. We also have joint operations such as Metro and SWAT that use
the 800 system and we are not on the system.
• Communication —Our current system has several "dead" areas in the city where we cannot
communicate. Many other areas have poor transmission quality and it is difficult to understand
what is being said. We also have problems in most buildings getting radio communication out with
our current VHF portable radios. We have trouble getting our portable radios to work inside of
Lourdes emergency room as well as some areas of our schools. Officers using the 800 MHZ
system have no problems getting their radios to work in these same areas.
• Lack of frequencies— We share a single frequency with all other agencies in Franklin County and
there are times when there is more traffic than this frequency can handle.
• Safety —Officers working in patrol need effective and clear communication. If officers do not hear
a call there is community safety concern in not getting officers to the scene of a serious crime in a
timely manner.
• Lack of control — Our current system does not give us any control over operations of the dispatch
center. We are just billed for the service.
• Cost — Our costs for this service have gone up over 130% in 6 years.
Positives to moving to the 800 MHZ system:
• lnteroperability— All police agencies in the tri city area would be able to communicate.
• Communication — We have tested this system in Pasco, and we have no "dead" spots, the
communication is very clear and it is able to transmit from inside buildings.
• Frequencies— With an 800 MHZ system we would have multiple channels to use including several
what would just be for our department. These could be used for special events, or at times when
we have a serious situation going on where the need for good communication is important.
• Safety —With all departments on the same frequency we will have an easier time getting needed
support in a timely fashion from other agencies. This is a huge safety factor for officers and
citizens.
• Control—All area Police Chiefs will meet to make sure the system is functioning as it should.
Each government unit will also have control of the budget and how the system operates.
• Costs—we will be better able to control costs.
I have been involved in putting together 4 other central dispatch operations such as the one being
proposed here. My review of this system gives me confidence that for all the reasons 1 have listed here
we can and should go to the 800 MHZ radio system over our current VHF radio system. The
infrastructure for the 800 MHZ radio system is already in place and our coverage would be better than
we are getting now. We can continue putting money into our current VHF radio system, but in the
long run it will not solve our current or future needs.
As Police Chief the safety of officers on the street, and our residents, is a big concern of mine. This
radio system would provide officers the tools they need to do their jobs more effectively with greater
safety.

To whom it may concern:
The Pasco Police Officer's Association has been made aware of negotiations to move the Pasco Police
communications from Franklin County to SECOMM. In doing so,the radio system would change from
VHF to an 800 MHz system. The Pasco Police Officers Association is in favor of this change and
welcomes enhancements this would offer.
Over the last several years the current radio communications system being employed by the Franklin
County Sher'iff's Office has failed to afford our officers the trust and security they need in
communications. Our members continue to note numerous areas within our community where radio
communication is poor to nonexistent. To the Sheriffs Office credit,they have spent a considerable
amount of time and money to remedy the problem. It still exists,though. Our members have been put
in many situations where their safety was compromised due to poor communications and other officers
not Knowing they needed assistance. There is also the frustration of communications of a non-
emergent nature that occur daily.
Our fellow law enforcement agencies in the area communicate on the 800 MHz system. This makes
communication with these agencies nearly impossible because of the differing frequency spectrums.
With a transition to SECOMM,the Pasco Police Department would be able to communicate easily with
neighboring agencies. This would help facilitate joint Investigations and the apprehension of subjects as
they flee from one jurisdiction to another.
For the safety of our members and increased communication ability with neighboring agencies,the
Pasco Police Officer's Association supports a change in the communications center from Franklin County
to SECOMM.

Gov study and concluded that emergency services to citizenry as well as emergency responder safety
will be improved by combining the communication systems under a single regional governance and
central emergency call center; and
WHEREAS, evaluation of the present cost of emergency communication services compared
to a combined regional system indicates that the cost of such services for Pasco and Franklin County
would likely decrease; NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED:

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Franklin County's "Public Safety Sales Tax" ballot measure was approved by
62% of the voters, county-wide, at the November 2011 general election. The
sales tax measure will add three-tenths of one percent, resulting in a new total
local sales tax rate of 8.6%. The Commission took formal action in December to
implement the tax; however, state late requires a 75-day waiting period, to provide
all parties sufficient time to prepare for the collection and disbursement of the
new tax. Thus, the tax collection is expected to commence April 1. Based on
2010 sales tax data, Franklin County estimates the new tax measure will generate
approximately $2.8 million (county-wide) annually. By state law, 40% of that
amount is to be allocated to the cities within the county, based on population;
Pasco's share, based on 2011 population data, will approximate $1 million
annually.
B) The ballot proposition (which limits the life of the tax to 30 years) included the
express intent to use the proceeds for expansion and operation of the county jail
facilities. In addition, the ballot included the intent to use the proceeds for Pasco
municipal court, the Pasco police department and criminal gang suppression as
well as other public safety purposes (see reference 1). The City Council
previously discussed three specific undertakings if the tax measure was approved
by voters: construction of a new municipal court; construction of a new police
station on the east half of the City Hall campus; and gang suppression. Current
assessment of those activities follows:
■ Municipal Court: the current agreement for Municipal Court space in the
county's public safety building will expire in May 2012. Recent conversations
with county representatives indicate their willingness to simply extend the
current agreement for another year or two while the new court space is
designed/constructed as part of the new county jail project. That project will
14(a)
require a new long-term agreement between the city and county as well. At an
estimated cost of$3 million; it may be best to combine part of the new sales
tax revenue with other existing sources to discharge the new court
construction debt early, thus allowing the new police facility to be constructed
within a few years.
• Police Station- preliminary design of a new police station was completed
about three years ago and the project is estimated to cost about $12 million; a
20-year debt would require annual debt payments of about $1 million. Staff
suggests construction occur when the current City Hall debt is paid (2015),
thus using the current debt payment to supplement the new sales tax revenue
for the police station debt (if necessary).
• Gang Suppression: Chief Metzger proposes to establish a "street crimes unit"
consisting of four officers focused on a variety of street crime, which usually
translates to "gang activities" (see reference 2, memo from Chief Metzger).
The cost of this new unit would approximate $400,000 annually. It will take
most of a year to hire and train four replacements and prepare to deploy the
new unit.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) It is requested that the street crimes unit be authorized by Council as soon as
possible (1117112) so the hiring process can be started. In addition, Chief Metzger
has proposed to reorganize the command structure of the police department by
reducing a vacant captain position to sergeant and upgrading three corporal
positions to sergeant; the cost of the reorganization action, combined, will reflect
a modest savings of about $10,000 annually. Those new positions need to be
authorized by Council action as well,
B) The municipal court project is expected to gain momentum over the next few
weeks as the architect contract will be negotiated and brought to City Council for
consideration. The police station project is best left on the back humer for the
next couple of years, pending final decisions on financing of the court facility and
realization of long-term financial considerations. A tentative allocation schedule
reelecting all three activities is offered for clarification (see reference 3).
FRANKLIN COUNTY
RESOLUTION NUMBER 2011-281
BEFORE THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, FRANKLIN COUNTY, WASHINGTON
RE: IN THE SUBJECT MATTER OF CALLING FOR AN ELECTION ON THE LEVY
OF A SALES AND USE TAX FOR COUNTY AND CMES' CRIMINAL JUSTICE
AND PUBLIC SAFETY PURPOSES INCLUDING FOR THE IMPROVEMENT,
EXPANSION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF A COUNTY JAIL AND
OTHER FACILITIES
WHEREAS, In Franklin County and the Cities therein there continues to be an increasing demand
placed on local public safety services,facilities and the criminal justice system; and
WHEREAS, in 1980 Franklin County had a population of 35,025 and In 1990 a population of
37,473; and
WHEREAS, the Franklin County Corrections Center (County Jail) was constructed in 1984 to
confine a maximum of 102 inmates (102 Inmate beds); and
WHEREAS, in recent years due to increases in the County Jail inmate population averaging 190
inmates per day the County Jail has double bunked inmates increasing the jail capacity to 147 beds; and
WHEREAS, Franklin County has a current estimated population of 82,500, amounting to a 100+%
increase in population since the County Jail was constructed over 25 years ago, and
WHEREAS, the County Jail has a current average inmate population of 190, amounting to a per
day average of 85+ inmates beyond the facility's 1984 capacity and routinely an inmate population above
the facility's current capacity;and
WHEREAS, a significant portion of the population increase has occurred in the City of Pasco and
continues to do so; and
WHEREAS, the County Jail provides for the incarceration of persons arrested within both the
incorporated cities' and unincorporated county areas, and thereafter sentenced to jail by all the courts in
Franklin County; and
WHEREAS, the increase in local population has increased criminal caseloads for the entire local
criminal justice system including the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, Prosecuting Attorney, local courts,
the County Clerk's Office, and Cities' police departments all of which utilize the County Jail and serve
"criminal justice purposes' per RCW 82.14.450(5); and
WHEREAS, demand for criminal justice and public safety services continues to increase due to
increased traffic, growth, and development pressures that have overburdened the County Jail, as well as
other Franklin County facilities and services, hereby necessitating services expansion, facilities
improvement and addition; and
WHEREAS, County property taxes are limited to a maximum annual growth rate of one (1)
percent or the Implicit Price Deflator(IPD), whichever is lower. In conjunction, the Countys costs for staff,
personnel benefits, and operations have increased at a rate higher than the local consumer price index.
Funds available to the County have decreased while the cost of providing services has increased resulting
in the County being unable to generate sufficient revenue to ensure citizen safety and adequately serve an
increasing population; and
Franklin County Resolution Number 2011-281 Page 1 of 4
WHEREAS, the 2003 Washington State Leglsiature noted that local governments are presented
with significant challenges in funding criminal justice services, and hence provided a legal means by which
Counties and Cities could seek focal revenues to better protect the health, safety, and wetfare of its
residents. Said legal means came through the enactment of RCW 82.14.450 authorizing the Franklin
County legislative authority to submit a proposition to voters at a primary or general election that would
authorize sales and use tax at the rate of three-tenths of one percent (0.003) to be collected throughout
Franklin County. Said law requires one-third of such revenue collected be used for "criminal justice
purposes,"including"...the construction, improvement, and expansion of' existing Franklin County Jail, E-
911 Dispatch, Sheriffs Department, and related facilities. RCW 82.14.450(5); RCW 82.14.340(5). All
improvements and new construction shall be"basic design;"and
WHEREAS, the expansion, improvement, operation, and maintenance of the County Jail would
relieve jail overcrowding therein and amounts to a proper use of revenue for "criminal justice purposes"
per RCW 82.14.450(5); and
WHEREAS, other public purposes would be accomplished through expansion, improvement,
operation, and maintenance of other county offices, departments, and facilities used by or providing
ancillary services to the County Jail; and
WHEREAS, Washington State Law requires the revenue received under this proposal to be
shared with sixty(60) percent retained by the County, and the remaining forty (40) percent to be retained
and distributed on a per capita basis to the Cities therein and the estimated collection for the County's
60% portion is approximately $1.7 million per year and the estimated collection for the Cities is
approximately$1.1 million to be distributed on a per capita basis.
WHEREAS, Washington Stale Law requires for the passage of this proposal a majority of fifty
percent (50%) +1, of persons voting at a primary or general election must approve. The next general
election is November 8,2011; and
WHEREAS, Franklin County will conduct a county wide mail-in ballot election at the next general
election on November 8,2011; and
WHEREAS, if the voters approve this proposal on November 8, 2011, the additional sales and
use lax will be collected beginning on January 1, 2012, and jurisdictions will begin receiving revenue in
February 2012;and
WHEREAS, interest rates are at historic lows, allowing substantial savings on a 30-year bond and
construction costs are estimated 15 to 18 percent lower than recent years; and
WHEREAS, it is the judgment of this Board that the citizens of Franklin County should be offered
the opportunity to accept or reject a special tax levy of this kind; and
WHEREAS, if approved, the special tax should be levied beginning in 2012 with three-tenths of
one percent (0.003)of said tax to be collected for a period of thirty years; now therefore,
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF
FRANKLIN COUNTY that a county wide mail-in ballot election be held on November 8, 2011, for the
purpose of submitting to the affected voters the determination of whether or not to authorize a sales and
use tax at the rate of three-tenths of one percent (0.003)for thirty years to be levied beginning in 2012 in
the absence of further action by the voters and the proceeds to be shared pursuant to RCW 82.14.450 by
the County and Cities therein for the aforementioned purposes; and

MEMORANDUM
Bob Metzger, Police Chief
TO: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
FROM : Bob Metzger, Police Chief
RE: Street Crimes unit
DATE: 12-21-2011
Our concept for this unit is as follows:
Composition:
1 — Sergeant
3 —Patrol Officers
Scope of work:
This unit's main goal would be to go after street crime in the city of Pasco. Most street crime is
committed by gangs so the emphasis would be with those groups or individuals that are committing
crimes on a continuing basis in our community. This could be anything from graffiti to burglary to
robbery, with the flexibility to quickly address crime trends and in-depth or serious public safety
issues. This unit will work closely with our crime analyst to determine possible suspects. They will
also work closely with investigators and patrol officers to determine what tactics they can use
effectively and what assistance they can give to patrol to go after those who are committing targeted
crimes. to addition this unit will work closely with area agencies and coordinate efforts as needed,
This unit will work various hours depending on the need of the department and will be available on
call for serious incidents where quick apprehension of suspect(s) is needed, They will be primarily in
plain clothes, though on occasion may need to wear a uniform.
They will be assigned a Sergeant and will work under the 1SD Captain. Selection for these positions
will be based on not only interest but ability to do the job. Like all other positions other than patrol,
these officers will be assigned to this on a rotating basis and will remain in the unit as long as they are
productive.
Other considerations:
Training— Officers assigned to this unit will receive training as needed. Depending on the officers
selected to this unit and what their skills are, training will be tailored to ft what the individual needs.
Most officers that will be selected for this unit will have the basic skills to perform this job and will
need minimal time to get prepared to go out into the field. Any specialized training will be done as it
becomes available.
I-low soon can we begin this— currently we have 2 officers in field training and three in the academy,
We are also in the process of hiring to officers to replace retirements and resignations. We then need
to promote one sergeant and hire an additional 4 officers to replace those that will be put into this unit.
Once hired they either have to go through a 15 week FTO (if lateral hire) or we have to send them to
the academy and then conduct the FTO training. This entire process can take up to b months from the
time we hire to the time we have them ready to work alone on the road. If we begin the hiring process
the first of the year, we would plan to have this unit up and running by fall of 2012, depending on
hiring and training. At the latest we would have this up and running by the end of the year.
How long to get this up and running—once we get the required staffing, we can put the positions out
for bid to current officers. Once the selection is complete and the equipment is in place, they will be
ready to go. If we plan to get the equipment before the staffing is done, this new unit can be ready as
soon as officers are selected_ Unlike new officer hires, this unit will not need much if any time to train
for what they are going to do.
Summary:
Once this unit is approved, we will begin the hiring and promotion process to replace those who are
being put into this unit. Once we have the additional staff hired we will put this unit in place. If you
have additional questions or need further information please let me know.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert Metzger
Police Chief
