Project Planning Expenses: NTE $33,333 IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The Regional Facilities Oversight Committee, with representatives of the three City Councils (Mayor Watkins and Ms. Francik) and a Public Facility District representative from each of the three cities (John Merk), has been meeting since 2006 to assess the need and identify specific projects as potential regional centers. B) Following analysis of possible funding and implementation vehicles, the committee determined the use of the sales tax as the most equitable and preferred funding mechanism and the creation of a regional or Tri-Cities area public facilities district as the most viable organizational tool for regional centers. C) In the 2010 state legislative session, a bill (House Bill 2525) was passed (and subsequently signed into law) which allows for the formation of a "Regional Public Facilities District" (RPFD) by the cities. D) The committee has prepared a summary of its activities and has drafted an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement and Bylaws for the formation and governance of the Tri-Cities Regional Public Facilities District. Approval of the Interlocal Agreement, by each of the cities, is recommended by the committee and will create the RPFD. 4(c) E) Specific points with respect to the proposed RPFD are: 1. Becomes a separate governmental unit, subject to the law and the authority as outlined in the Interlocal Agreement and Bylaws, 2. The RPFD Board of Directors must be made up of members of the respective city council and city public facilities district boards (three total from each city). 3. The RPFD can construct/acquire/operate regional centers (including conference, convention or performing arts) as well as recreational facilities (aquatic center). 4. The voters of the RPFD must approve any sales tax imposition intended to finance a proposed regional center. F) A proposed budget/timetable for the RPFD is attached. It is possible that the RPFD, formed sometime this year, could propose a project for voter consideration in the fall of 2011. V. DISCUSSION: A) While Oversight Committee members have spent considerable time in the study of the issues surrounding regional centers and the proposed RPFD, other Councilmembers will need time to review the materials presented herewith. It is expected that the cities of Kennewick and Richland will also begin discussions on the recommendations in July. Council may wish to schedule an additional workshop discussion on this item in two weeks. AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council June 22, 2010 TO: Gary Crutchfie anager Workshop Mtg.: 6/28/10 Regular Mtg.: 7/6/10 FROM: Stan Strebel, De uty City Manage SUBJECT: Cross-Connection Control I. REFERENCE(S): 1. Proposed Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL /STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: 6/28: Discussion 7/6: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. amending Section 13.16.020 of the Pasco Municipal Code regarding cross- connections and, further, authorize publication by summary only, 111. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) The Washington Administrative Code requires that water utilities undertake measures to protect water systems from contamination hazards posed by cross- connections. The city has had a program for tracking and inspection of all high- risk facilities (commercial/industrial/city-owned facilities) for the last 13 years. B) Beginning in 2002, the city began a cost-sharing program designed to bring all low-risk (residential irrigation) users into compliance. Under the cost-sharing program, the city will install a double check-valve assembly in the meter box for each service where city (potable) water is used for landscape irrigation purposes in exchange for the property owner's payment of a $120 (for 3/4" meter; $140 for 1") installation fee (the cost of the average installation is currently estimated at $600). Thereafter, the City will perform testing of the check valve, at least every two years, for no cost. C) Under the voluntary cost-sharing program, approximately 2,000 property owners have had the required check-valve assembly installed. Of the estimated 3,800 residential properties with cross-connections this represents 53% compliance. D) In order to fully implement the requirements of the state, staff proposes to extend the voluntary residential program for four additional years with deadlines for individual compliance determined by geographical sector (see the attached Ordinance map). Setting a deadline for compliance with cross connection requirements will help property owners understand the law and encourage compliance through the cost savings associated with the city program while allowing staff to prioritize work and complete the installations within the next four years. Property owners who have not made arrangements to be in compliance by the respective deadlines can be subjected to discontinuation of service and fines imposed by the Code Enforcement Board. Property owners who choose not to participate in the voluntary program must arrange with a private contractor to install the backflow assembly and for required ongoing testing, V. DISCUSSION: A) Staff recommends adoption of the attached Ordinance with compliance deadlines at one-year intervals extending through November 1, 2014. 4(d) ORDINANCE NO AN ORDINANCE of the City of Pasco, amending Pasco Municipal Code Section 13.16.020 "Cross-Connections-Service Conditions Backflow Prevention Device Required When."
