Umli 111.916311410
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
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 remains a felony under Federal law.
C. The 2011 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
zoning 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. E2SS13 5073 went into effect on July 22,
2011.
E. City Council approved Resolution 3340 on September 6, 2011 establishing a 12 month
moratorium on collective medical marijuana gardens in all zoning districts. A key component
of the moratorium was the assumption that the State Legislature would act this past session to
remedy the confusion caused by the partial veto of E2SSB 5073. However, action by the
Legislature did not occur this past session. The moratorium is set to expire this July 61h.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. Possession of marijuana — even for medicinal purposes — is contrary to the Federal Controlled
Substance Act (CSA). The CSA also pre -empts both the State and the City from passing and
enforcing an ordinance that would make possession of medicinal marijuana legal.
A city may further limit collective gardens and dispensaries beyond those imposed by
Chapter 69.51A RCW, as long as they meet the general police power requirements and do
not, in any way, permit or authorize an activity that is prohibited by the federal CSA. The
City Attorney's position is that the City is not required to enact an ordinance allowing and
then governing collective gardens and dispensaries and has the ability to prohibit both, so
long as there remains a conflict between the State statute and the pre - empting federal law.
C. As a solution to the immediate issue, staff recommends that the moratorium on collective
medicinal marijuana gardens be repealed and the Pasco Zoning Code amended to prohibit
uses that are in violation of federal, state or local laws. This simply prohibits activities
involving medicinal marijuana until State and Federal regulations are changed to eliminate
the potential of the City becoming an accessory to a federal crime.
D. Staff requests Council discussion on this matter. If Council concurs with the direction
suggested by staff, an amendment to the zoning code as contained in the proposed ordinance
and a repeal of the moratorium on collective medicinal marijuana gardens will be initiated.

ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, REPEALING THE
MORATORIUM ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA COLLECTIVE GARDENS AND
AMENDING CHAPTER 25.08 OF THE PASCO MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, since 1970, federal law has prohibited the manufacture and possession of
marijuana as a Schedule I drug; and
WHEREAS, the voters of the State of Washington approved Initiative 692 (codified as
RCW 69.51A in November 1998); and
WHEREAS, the intent of Initiative 692 was that qualifying "patients with terminal or
debilitating illnesses who, in the judgment of their physicians, would benefit from the medical
use of marijuana, shall not be found guilty of a crime under state law, "(RCW 69.51A.005); and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature passed ESSSB 5073 in 2011, which
provides that a qualifying patient or his/her designated care provider are presumed to be in
compliance, and not subject to criminal or civil sanctions /penalties /consequences, if they possess
no more than 15 cannabis plants, no more than 24 ounces of usable cannabis (other qualifications
apply); and
WHEREAS, Washington's Governor vetoed all of the provisions relevant to medical
marijuana dispensaries in ESSSB 5073 but left the provisions relating to cultivation of marijuana
for medical use by qualified patients individually and in collective gardens; and
WHEREAS, RCW 69.51A.130 allows local jurisdictions to adopt zoning requirements,
business license requirements, health and safety requirements, and impose business taxes on the
production, processing or dispensing of cannabis or cannabis products; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted Resolution 3340 imposing a moratorium on medical
marijuana collective gardens dispensaries it was predicted that the Washington State Legislature
would address the subject during the 2012 Legislative Session; and
WHEREAS, Based on experiences from other jurisdictions, there is significant increase
in criminal activity surrounding marijuana- related activities, regardless of local, state, or federal
legal status; and
WHEREAS, The Washington State Legislature did not adopt any new regulations on
medical marijuana; and
WHEREAS, the City has been placed in an untenable position between State and Federal
law, and has therefore chosen to amend Section 25.08.010 of the Municipal Code by adding the
following statement, and adopt this as the City's official position; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DOES
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Resolution 3340, moratorium on medical cannabis dispensaries is hereby
repealed.
Section 2. That Section 25.08.010 of the Pasco Municipal Code be and the same is
hereby amended to read as follows:
25.08.010 INTERPRETATION. In interpreting and applying the provisions of this Title, the
provisions and standards contained herein shall be deemed to be the minimum standards or
requirements with which compliance is essential to the permitted uses, and shall not be construed
as limiting the legislative authority of the City Council to further restrict permissive uses or to
withhold or revoke permits for uses where, notwithstanding the existence of the minimum
standards set forth in this Title, the promotion or protection of the public health, morals, safety
and welfare bears a substantial relation to such withholding, denial or revocation of permits or
uses. (Ord. 3354 Sec. 2, 1999.) This Title does not allow any use which is in violation of any
local State or Federal laws regulations codes and /or ordinances.
Section 3. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect five days after passage and
publication as required by law.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, at its regular meeting of

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 3, 2012
TO: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
FROM: Rick White, Community and Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: Medical Mariivana (Cannabis) Collective Gardens (MF# CA 2011 -003)
This memo is a recommendation for the legislation of Medical Marijuana Collective
Gardens, in reference to Resolution No. 3340 passed by Pasco City Council on September 6,
2011.
The City of Pasco adopted a 6 -month moratorium (Resolution 3330) on July 18, 2011
prohibiting medical marijuana collective gardens in all zoning districts within the City. City
Council held a public hearing on September 6, 2011 and adopted Resolution 3340 retaining
and extending the moratorium for 12 months.
The Work Plan attached to Resolution No. 3340 required staff to research cities /states with
similar circumstances /laws pertaining to medicinal marijuana, latest developments from the
Washington Cities Insurance Association (WCIA), the Association of Washington Cities
(AWC) and the Municipal Research and Service Center (MRSC), and current State law
concerning cultivation, possession and distribution of medicinal marijuana, and attempt to
reconcile the discrepancy of federal laws with the State law. Since the State Legislature did
not act, the work plan was largely rendered useless, and other local jurisdictions are
maintaining a legislative "holding pattern," pending a decisive State outcome.
The City has researched the secondary land use impacts of medical marijuana collective
gardens in preparation for the drafting of zoning regulations, and has concluded that State law
places local jurisdictions in an untenable position relative to the Federal Controlled
Substance Act (CSA).
Issues with medical marijuana legislation include the following:
1) Based on the existing State law, the City may adopt further limitations on collective
gardens beyond those imposed by Chapter 69.51A RCW, as long as they meet the
general police power requirements and do not, in any way, permit or authorize an
activity that is prohibited by the federal CSA. However, exercising police powers by
licensing, permitting, collecting fees or taxing marijuana- related activities potentially
places the City in the position of accessory to federal crime.
2) In the absence of the ability to license, permit, tax, or otherwise exercise bona -fide
police powers, any code enforcement activities are rendered ineffective, and any
permissive local marijuana legislation will likely lead to uncontrollable marijuana -
related activities.
Pa�c 1 (11'2
3) Based on experiences from other jurisdictions, there is significant increase in criminal
activity surrounding marijuana - related activities, regardless of local, state, or federal
legal status.
4) The 2012 Legislative session did not make any progress towards reconciling these
conflicts or protecting local jurisdictions from possible federal action.
Given the above issues, public health, safety, and welfare will not be promoted
accommodating collective marijuana gardens.
Recommendations
Given the untenable position the City has been placed in between State and Federal law, the
recommended option is to amend Title 25 of the City of Pasco Municipal Code by adding the
following statement to the preface and adopt this as the City's official position:
"The City of Pasco Zoning Code (PMC Title 25) does not allow any use
which is in violation of any local, State, or Federal laws, regulations, codes,
and /or ordinances"
An alternative may be to extend the moratorium indefinitely until the State Legislature
clarifies its position and aligns the state laws to match Federal statutes. However, this does
not provide closure to the issue and is difficult to justify legally.

RESOLUTION NO. 3 3'TO
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 Washington 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 license, 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
marijuana.
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 I 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 69.51 A.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 12 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 T day of IO 2011.

MEMORANDUM FOR UNITED STAAT
s OR ,XS
FROM: James M. Cole
Deputy Attom 53 General
SUBJECT: Guidance Regarding the Ogden Memo in Jurisdictions
Seeking to Authorize Mariivana for Medical Use
Over the last several months some of you have requested the Department's assistance in
responding to inquiries from State and local governments seeking guidance about the
Department's position on enforcement of the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) in jurisdictions
that have under consideration, or have implemented, legislation that would sanction and regulate
the commercial cultivation and distribution of marijuana purportedly for medical use. Some of
these jurisdictions have considered approving the cultivation of large quantities of marijuana, or
broadening the regulation and taxation of the substance. You may have seen letters responding
to these inquiries by several United States Attorneys. Those letters are entirely consistent with
the October 2009 memorandum issued by Deputy Attorney General David Ogden to federal
prosecutors in States that have enacted laws authorizing the medical use of marijuana (the
"Ogden Memo ").
The Department of Justice is committed to the enforcement of the Controlled Substances
Act in all States. Congress has determined that marijuana is a dangerous drug and that the illegal
distribution and sale of marijuana is a serious crime that provides a significant source of revenue
to large scale criminal enterprises, gangs, and cartels. The Ogden Memorandum provides
guidance to you in deploying your resources to enforce the CSA as part of the exercise of the
broad discretion you are given to address federal criminal matters within your districts.
A number of states have enacted some form of legislation relating to the medical use of
marijuana. Accordingly, the Ogden Memo reiterated to you that prosecution of significant
traffickers of illegal drugs, including marijuana, remains a core priority, but advised that it is
likely not an efficient use of federal resources to focus enforcement efforts on individuals with
cancer or other serious illnesses who use marijuana as part of a recommended treatment regimen
consistent with applicable state law, or their caregivers. The term `caregiver" as used in the
memorandum meant just that: individuals providing care to individuals with cancer or other
serious illnesses, not commercial operations cultivating, selling or distributing marijuana.
The Department's view of the efficient use of limited federal resources as articulated in
the Ogden Memorandum has not changed. There has, however, been an increase in the scope of
Memorandum for United States Attorneys Page 2
Subject: Guidance Regarding the Ogden Memo in Jurisdictions
Seeking to Authorize Marijuana for Medical Use
commercial cultivation, sale, distribution and use of marijuana for purported medical purposes.
For example, within the past 12 months, several jurisdictions have considered or enacted
legislation to authorize multiple large - scale, privately- operated industrial marijuana cultivation
centers. Some of these planned facilities have revenue projections of millions of dollars based
on the planned cultivation of lens of thousands of cannabis. plants.
The Ogden Memorandum was never intended to shield such activities from federal
enforcement action and prosecution, even where those activities purport to comply with state
law. Persons who are in the business of cultivating, selling or distributing marijuana, and those
who knowingly facilitate such activities, are in violation of the Controlled Substances Act,
regardless of state law. Consistent with resource constraints and the discretion you may exercise
in your district, such persons are subject to federal enforcement action, including potential
prosecution. State laws or local ordinances are not a defense to civil or criminal enforcement of
federal law with respect to such conduct, including enforcement of the CSA. Those who engage
in transactions involving the proceeds of such activity may also be in violation of federal money
laundering statutes and other federal financial laws.
The Department of Justice is tasked with enforcing existing federal criminal laws in all
states, and enforcement of the CSA has long been and remains a core priority.

April 19, 2012 letter from Benton Franklin Counties Department of Human Services, and
proposed amendment to the Franklin County Homeless Housing and Assistance
Interlocal Agreement
Original December 2005 Interlocal Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL /STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
5/14/12: DISCUSSION
5/21/12: MOTION I move to approve the Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement
with Franklin County, Connell, Mesa and Kahlotus for the
purpose of administering the Washington State Homeless
Housing and Assistance Act generated funds for housing
programs, and further, authorize the Mayor to sign the
Amendment.
III. FISCAL IMPACT
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. In 2005, the State Legislature approved House Bill (HB) 2163 which authorized a $10.00
surcharge for certain recorded documents. The surcharge is to be used to reduce
homelessness by 50% in 10 years.
B. RCW 36.22.179 directs 2 % of the funds collected be retained by the Auditor and 60%
retained by the county where the funds were collected and used to accomplish the
purposes of the local homeless housing plan. Of that 60% retained by the County, 6%
may be used for costs related to administration of the homeless housing plan. The
remaining funds are remitted to Washington State for deposit in the state homeless
housing account.
C. In December of 2005, City Council approved an Interlocal Agreement for a 10 year
period with Franklin County, Connell, Mesa and Kahlotus regarding local homeless
housing programs and plans. In January of 2006, City Council approved a 10 year plan
for reducing homelessness. The Plan was prepared by the Benton Franklin Community
Action Committee (CAC) and is a regional and cooperative effort to address
homelessness.
D. The 2005 Interlocal Agreement charged CAC with the responsibility of administering HB
2163 funds. Recently Franklin County directed the Benton Franklin Counties Department
of Human Services (BFHS) to have administrative responsibility for these same funds.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. The Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement replaces references to CAC with BFHS. All
other provisions of the existing Interlocal remain in effect and unchanged.
B. Staff recommends approval of the motion, noting that the existing Interlocal Agreement
expires in December of 2015, providing another opportunity for review and assessment.

Re: Franklin County Homeless Housing and Assistance Interlocal Agreement
Dear Mayor Watkins:
Pasco City Hall
RECEIVED
APR 2 0 2012
City Manager's Office
The Franklin County Homeless Housing and Assistance (2163) Interlocal Agreement was originally
signed on December 14, 2005 for a term of ten (10) years.
As you may be aware, funds for the 2163 Homeless Housing Assistance agreement are from document
recording fees, dependent on the local economy. For the last few years Community Action Connections
has administered these funds. Recently, an Amendment to the current Interlocal was approved to form by
Franklin County Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Ryan Verhulp. The Amendment permits Benton and
Franklin Counties Department of Human Services to be the responsible department to administer and
disperse these funds to community base organizations within the community to provide homeless housing
services to residents of Franklin County.
The amendment of the Interlocal Agreement will allow for continued services within Franklin County.
During this last year new projects and service providers have come forth and the goal is to provide a wide
range of comprehensive services.
Please review the enclosed Interlocal Amendment document, sign, and return all three of the original
signature pages to the Department of Human Services so that we may proceed to the next step. Please do
not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions on this process.
Sincerely,
Tracy Diaz
Deputy Administrator

dedicated to providing law enforcement resource services to assigned schools and
surrounding neighborhoods. The School District has requested an extension of the
SRO services for the 2012 Summer School at Pasco High School. Normally, SRO
services are not provided during summer months. The School District has summer
school programs at Pasco High School, Chiawana High School, and New
Horizons High Schools. As a proactive measure, the School District has requested
SRO's services for up to eight hours each day of summer school. There are 20
summer school days from June 18 to July 13. SRO's are assigned to work normal
patrol duties when school is not in session.
B) The proposed Interagency Agreement is effective June through July 2012, and
provides two School Resource Officers for the 2012 Summer School. The School
District will reimburse the City for the salary and fringe benefits costs for two
officers during 20 days of summer school.
