III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. 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.
B) 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. The Comprehensive
Sewer Plan (Plan) is intended to meet the requirements of a General Sewer Plan
and Facility Plan/Engineering Report per the Washington Administrative Code
(WAC), and comply with the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit, requiring an approved Plan by October 1, 2012.
C) The City originally built a primary treatment facility in 1954 and in 1970 it was
upgraded to meet secondary treatment requirements. The most recent major
upgrade was in 1998 to increase the capacity of the facility. Currently, the City is
designing for improvements and optimizations of the plant. The plant currently
experiences flows between 1 and 4 million gallons per day (MGD).
D) Over the past 10 years, the City has seen significant growth which has resulted in
increase flows in the collection system and at the WWTP. This growth, coupled
with significant urban expansion since the last planning effort was completed,
requires development of a Comprehensive Sewer Plan that reflects current
conditions and growth projections.
E) The Comprehensive Sewer Plan was part of Council's 2010 -2011 Goals.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Murray Smith & Associates and Staff will present an overview of the final draft.
They have been coordinating the findings with the Department of Ecology. Once
the City receives approval from Ecology, we will return to Council for adoption of
the Comprehensive Sewer Plan findings, recommendations and Capital
Improvements by resolution.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/28: Discussion
2/04: MOTION: I move to approve the Professional Services Agreement with CES
authorizing professional services with respect to Phase III of the
Process Water Treatment System Optimization project in the
amount of $129,000, and further, authorize the Mayor to sign the
agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The City treats and re -uses the process water generated by the Pasco processing
center during vegetable processing by applying it to agricultural crops grown on the
City's farm circles. The agronomic capacity of the land dictates the maximum
process water volume that can be delivered from the processing center to the City for
treatment and reuse. Without additional land or other change, the City cannot
accommodate a new processor, nor expansion of existing processors.
B) In Fall of 2011, CES completed the optimization plan that included improvement
plans divided into four phases. Phase I & II included improvements to remove some
of the BOD and Grit and Sedimentation, that were causing reduction in ergonomic
capacity. Phase I & II have been designed and was bid in Summer 2012, however the
bids were rejected since the bids were significantly higher than the engineers
estimate. Staff and CES completed value engineering of Phase I and II and the
project is out to bid for bid opening in end of January 2013.
C) Staff employed the services of CES to design Phase III of the improvements as
outlined in the optimization study.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Staff proposes to complete Phase III Design that will include the following.
• Further reduction in BOD concentration allowing for longer storage time
• Reduce hydraulic loading to the entire system in early spring and late fall
• Increase the percentage of process water that can be used as part of total
irrigation by using it instead of a portion of the fresh groundwater later in the
season
• Improve soil conditions in spring during crop emergence
• Reduce the odor potential in the spring
• Reduce aerator operation whereby reducing power costs
• Reduce organic matter reducing the volume of biosolids produced in the
storage pond
• Increase process water delivery capability
• Increased storage volume
B) The improvements will create additional capacity for additional loading or additional
reuse water.
C) In November of 2012 staff met with the food processors who agreed to proceed with
the design and improvements as proposed (see attached).

SUBJECT: Proposal/Scope of Work for the Process Water Treatment System Optimization
and Capital Improvement Plan - Phase 3
Dear Mr. Qayoumi:
Cascade Earth Sciences (CES) is pleased to submit this proposal for the design of Phase 3 of the
Process Water Treatment System Optimization and Capital Improvement Plan.
Background
The City of Pasco (City) treats and reuses the process water produced by the Pasco Processing
Center from vegetable processing by applying it to agricultural crops grown on the City's land
treatment fields. The current treatment capability of the system is limited to the gross
agronomic capacity of the soils and annual crop rotation. In an effort to optimize and increase
the treatment capacity of the system, the City investigated the influence that process water pre-
treatment and improved farm management techniques would have on its capacity.
CES conducted a comprehensive inspection of the system from process water source to
irrigation field with a team of specialists in engineering, agronomy, irrigation design, and
operations. While the results of this assessment confirmed that the fields were essentially at
their agronomic capacity, several strategies were identified whereby the City would be able to
increase the overall capacity of the treatment system by using specific operational changes and
making several capital improvements.
CES developed a Process Water Treatment System Optimization and Capital Improvement Plan
consisting of four phases to attain the strategies and increased agronomic capacity.
Phase 1: Improvements include fine screening and implementation of improved field
monitoring and management. The benefits of Phase 1 include:
• Reduce nozzle abrasion - expanding irrigation system life
• Prevent irrigation nozzle plugging
• Increase agronomic nitrogen capacity
• Increase process water delivery capability

Phase 2: Improvements include sediment removal and surface (skim) removal of fats, oil, and
grease (FOG). The benefits of Phase 2 include:
• Improve overall process water quality for irrigation use
• Reduce biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) concentrations
• Increase agronomic nitrogen capacity
• Increase process water delivery capability
Phase 3: This phase includes the construction of an Advanced Facultative Pond (AFP) to
provide further BOD reduction and additional storage capacity. The benefits of Phase 3
include:
• Further reduction in BOD concentrations allowing for longer storage time
• Reduce hydraulic loading to the entire system in early spring and late fall
• Increase the percentage of process water that can be used as part of total irrigation by
using it instead of a portion of the fresh groundwater later in the season
• Improve soil conditions in spring during crop emergence
• Reduce the odor potential in the spring
• Reduce aerator operation whereby reducing power costs
• Reduce organic matter reducing the volume of biosolids produced in the storage pond
• Increase process water delivery capability
• Increased storage volume
By implementing these upgrades and improvements, the current land treatment fields will be
operated at their optimum level. Further increases in system capacity will come from
expanding the total land base, which is considered Phase 4. The benefits of Phase 4 include:
• Increase agronomic nitrogen capacity
• Increase process water delivery capability
Schedule
The Process Water Treatment System Optimization and Capital Improvement Plan was
completed in 2011. The engineering and design of Phase 1 (Screening) and Phase 2
(Sedimentation) was completed during 2012 and construction is planned for 2013. The
engineering and design of Phase 3 (BOD Reduction and Additional Storage) is scheduled for
early 2013 to meet a construction scheduled for late 2013 or early 2014. The water quality
improvements with Phases 1, 2, and 3 will allow consideration of Phase 4 planning for the 2014
crop growing season.
Funding
The Process Water Treatment System Optimization and Capital Improvement Plan project cost
will be covered through a debt service plan recently approved by the Food Processors who use
the treatment system. The Food Processors have agreed to move the project forward.

Objectives
This proposal is for the engineering design services for Phase 3, the design of the AFP, as
described in the Process Water Treatment System Optimization and Capital Improvement Plan.
This proposal has been prepared to provide a scope of work and cost estimate to:
1. Engineer and Design the AFP
2. Provide Construction Bid Support Services
3. Provide Regulatory Support Services
4. Perform judicious project management in collaboration with the City
Scope of Work
Task 1 Design Basis Memorandum
CES will prepare a design basis memorandum to reflect Tasks 2 and 3 below. For the outer
pond area, it will document the purpose, general use strategies, storage capacity, storage
timing, and flow relations with the facultative pits. For the facultative pits, it will document the
projected process water quantity and quality to be treated, expected water quality output, and
the expected operating conditions and restrictions.
The design basis memorandum will be carefully reviewed and approved in writing by the City
before substantial design work is completed. Once the design basis is approved, no substantive
changes will be made to the design basis without written approval by the City. If during
design, the design basis needs to be changed, CES will stop work until a revised design basis
memorandum has been prepared and subsequently approved in writing by the City.
Task 2 Engineer and Design of Outer Pond Area
CES will engineer and design the outer AFP area surrounding and containing the facultative
pits. The purpose of the outer pond area is to store the treated process water flowing out of the
facultative pits and to provide new additional storage capacity.
The current embankments that will serve as the perimeter of the AFP must be tested to confirm
proper structural integrity for the intended purpose. The survey and geotechnical information
produced for design of Phases 1 and 2 will be used to the extent possible, but additional
geotechnical work will be required that specifically focuses on the needs of Phase 3.
Task 3 Engineer and Design of Facultative Pits
CES will engineer and design the facultative pits that are located within, and are part of, the
AFP. An AFP, as the name implies, is an engineered facultative pond where the two main
treatment processes, aerobic and anaerobic, are enhanced for better performance. In the AFP,
sedimentation and methane fermentation occurs in pits specially constructed to avoid the
intrusion of dissolved oxygen. The purpose of facultative pits is to remove a large portion of
the BOD using passive processes. Screened and settled process water is introduced near the
bottom of these pits and, since they are deep, most of the remaining settleable solids remain

within the pits. The gas bubbles that form will lift some biosolids, but as these rise, the bubbles
expand and break away leaving the solids to resettle. The result is that solids, with their
adhering bacteria, rise and fall within the pits creating an anaerobic biosolids blanket through
which all of the process water must flow. When properly designed, biosolids fermentation is
sufficiently complete that routine biosolids removal and disposal handling is eliminated. A
well - designed AFP will remove more than half of the influent BOD and virtually all of the
original suspended solids, without chemicals, aeration or any moving parts.
Deliverables:
CES will deliver the AFP design basis memorandum described in Task 1 for review and
approval by the City. The conceptual design drawings described in the Process Water
Treatment System Optimization and Capital Improvement Plan will be reviewed with the City
at this time to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the AFP plan.
CES will develop construction plans showing: footprint and profiles of the new structure,
connection details to existing and future facilities (Phases 1 and 2), grading plans, civil
construction details, equipment installation locations, call -outs and details, yard piping,
mechanical details, electrical line diagrams, controls, process flow diagrams, and hydraulic
grade lines. The plans and technical specifications will be acceptable quality for regulatory
submittal and to allow construction by a qualified contractor.
CES will deliver construction drawings and meet with the City to review at 50% and 85%
complete design. Any requested changes will be carefully documented. Any change that
may have a substantial impact on the estimated construction cost will be discussed in detail,
and a budget impact analysis conducted and presented to the City for approval. CES will
provide an engineer's opinion of probable cost at both the 50% and 85% complete design
stages.
CES will publish the 100% complete design drawings and technical specifications in electronic
format (PDF).
Task 4 Bid Document Preparation
CES will assist the City in preparing the construction bid documents including: invitation to
bidders, bid form, contract, general condition specifications, special condition specifications,
plans, and technical specifications. We will also attend the prebid meeting, assist the City in
responding to bidder requests for information, and provide advice on bidder selection.
Task 5 Regulatory Support Services
CES will submit the plans and technical specification to the Washington Department of Ecology
(Ecology) for their review and approval. We will join the City in a meeting with Ecology to
review the plans in detail. This will be similar to what we did with Phases 1 and 2, which was
of great benefit to Ecology's understanding and ability to quickly and efficiently respond in a
positive fashion. We will respond and address Ecology comments.

Task 6 Project Management
ktt
CES will meet with the City to ascertain the City's project management expectations and
requirements. Pending City approval, CES proposes to provide one detailed project update
letter each month and to meet with the City over the phone at their convenience to review it and
help ensure a thorough understanding of the project status. This update will include detailed
information on work completed, projected work, and the budget. A summary budget status
report will also be submitted with each monthly invoice.
Project Cost
Total Cost: $129,100.00
CES will honor the quoted cost estimate for ninety (90) days from the date of this estimate and
thereafter reserves the right to make any necessary modifications.
Assumptions
Assumptions have been used to prepare the proposed scope of work and cost estimate. Should
differences from these assumptions be required or encountered, CES will discuss the project
cost implications with the City.
• An AFP is technologically feasible for the conditions and available land.
• The current embankments that will be used as part of the AFP are structurally sound for
its purpose.
• The pre - construction meeting will be part of the construction management and
inspection services under additional authorization.
• Pilot testing of the potential treatment steps may be recommended to confirm actual
performance with existing water quality and site conditions. The cost to conduct the
pilot testing is not included in the scope of work.
• One flight and overnight trip to view an operating AFP is anticipated.

RE: Process waste water capacity
Dear Rob:
Thank you for taking the time and meeting with myself and Reuel Klempel on November 30, 2012 to
discuss process waste water capacity. During this meeting, we went over updates that have occurred
since the last time we met earlier this year. We discussed the progress of the optimization study,
concentrating on the purpose of the study which is to design agronomic capacity to treat the waste water.
We determined that obtaining additional farm land is cost prohibitive; therefore the recommendation is to
make additional capacity improvements to the existing system to meet permit requirements issued by the
Department of Ecology.
Approximately a year ago, we met and discussed all phases of the proposed improvements. You
authorized approval to move forward with design of Phase I and Phase II. The City contracted with
CES. During design efforts, CES collected additional samples of waste water from your facility, and
found that the concentration of B.O.D. was much higher than anticipated. Additional design
considerations increased the cost of construction.
The City accepted bids on Phase I and Phase II in early 2011. The bids received were significantly
higher than our engineer's estimate, therefore all bids were rejected. We used "value engineering" to
reduce overall costs and shared them at the meeting. There is enough data to confirm design and
construction of Phase III is necessary to increase additional capacity. Additionally, we discussed the
estimates for Phase 1, Phase II -A and Phase 111. Based on lower interest rates, we have costs that are
similar to what we quoted originally for a 10 -year debt schedule.
At the conclusion of our meeting you gave the City approval to move forward with the bidding of Phase I
and Phase 2 -A in December 2012 with construction to be completed by approximately July 2013.
Bidding for Phase 3 is planned in January — March 2013 with construction to be completed in Fall /
Winter of 2013.
With confirmation of your approval, we plan to present the plan to the City Council at its December 10
Workshop for discussion. Please confirm by signing below.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) In December 2010, the City of Pasco contracted the City of Vancouver to help
develop an ADA Inventory and Transition Plan.
B) Title II of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 prohibits
discrimination by public agencies on the basis of disability by making all
activities, services, and programs accessible to persons of disabilities. Under Title
II, facilities in the public right -of -way are considered a program and thus are
required to meet ADA standards.
C) Public agencies were required to complete a self - evaluation of their programs and
services then use this information to develop a Program Access Plan, also known
as an ADA Transition Plan. While all public entities are required to follow the
requirements of the American with Disabilities Act, public agencies with only 50
or more employees are required to create a Transition Plan. The Transition Plan
applies to all facilities, including those built before and after the ADA was passed
in 1990.
D) By January 26, 1993 public agencies were required to complete a self - evaluation
of their facilities, programs, policies, and organization practices. For numerous
reasons many agencies throughout the country did not meet this deadline and
agencies are still trying to meet this requirement today. The self - evaluation is a
key tool in developing an agency's Transition Plan by helping to identify
programs and policies that are not compliant with ADA requirements.
E) Since March of 2011, the City has been completing the inventory of ADA ramps
throughout the City to outline compliant and non - compliant ramps and sidewalks.
F) The City completed the transition plan through a public process that included a
Community Resource Team (aka) Advisory Group.
G) Staff, the Consultant and the Advisory Group held three open houses to develop
comments, identify high priorities, and the process for the transition plan.
4(d)
H) On November 26, 2012 the Consultant shared the final draft version of the plan
with Council.
I) Staff has completed the last piece of the plan for finalizing the ongoing efforts to
meet the goals of the plan.
V, DISCUSSION:
A) Staff has evaluated financing a portion of the ADA Plan that recommends allocation
of $5000 to $100,000 annually of CDBG funds towards funding projects on
transition. City staff will also apply for grants as available to fund more projects.
B) As part of the annual
overlay program,
the City
will continue to update ramps as
needed.
RESOLUTION NO.

Sidewalk Transition Plan
Overview
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 is a civil rights statue that prohibits
discrimination against people who have disabilities. Title II of ADA specifically
addresses the subject of making public services and public transportation accessible to
those with disabilities. With the advent of ADA, design and construction of facilities for
public use, such as sidewalks, that are not accessible by people with disabilities
constitutes discrimination.
The purpose of the Sidewalk Transition Plan is to remove barriers to mobility of people
with disabilities. It should be noted these same improvements serve the mobility and
safety for all pedestrians in the City of Pasco. The ADA requires all governmental
agencies to complete a Transition Plan for the construction of sidewalk ramps at all
locations where walkways cross curbs in streets or parking lots. The contents and
requirements of ADA Transition Plans are described in the ADA Title Il Technical
Assistance Manual, Section 11- 8.300.'

•
The Pasco's Sidewalk Transition Plan should, at a minimum, contain the following:
• A list of physical barriers in the City that limit the accessibility of individuals with
disabilities;
• A detailed outline of methods to be utilized to remove these barriers and make
the facilities accessible;
• A schedule for taking the necessary steps to achieve compliance with Title II.
The plan should indentify the interim steps that will be taken during each year for
the transition period; and

Public Works Department's Policies and Procedures
The Sidewalk Self- Evaluation revealed that Pasco policies and procedures makes little
mention of ADA compliance and may be hindering accessibility of sidewalks. A barrier
free transportation system requires policies and procedures that facilitate all department
programs striving to meet this goal. Planning documents must provide clear policy
direction for new development. Roadway designs must meet national ADA standards to
assure new ramps are constructed correctly. Inspection practices must assure that
sidewalks are constructed to meet standards. Citizen requests must be well
documented with assured follow- through. Because of the tremendous amount of
sidewalks that need to be upgraded to meet ADA standards, the high cost of the
upgrades and the limited available funding, policies and procedures should to be
adopted at all level to eliminate sidewalk barriers.
Recommendation:
The City of Pasco should adopt the following changes to their current policies and
practices:
Update the Comprehensive Plan to include goals and policies that strive to
development of an accessible transportation system. See Appendix A for City of
Vancouver example.
Update Title 12, Streets and Sidewalks, of Pasco's Municipal Code to include
specific requirements to upgrade sidewalks to meet current ADA standards. See
Appendix A recommended revisions.
City of Pasco
Sidewalk Transition Plan
Page 5 of 12
• Updates to the Standard Plans for sidewalks to meet ADA design guidelines
from the Access Board. The current plans are up to date. The ADA Standards
change on a regular basis and City of Pasco's standard plans will need future
updates. The current standards are illustrated in 2010 ADA Standards for
Accessible Design.2
• All pavement management overlay projects include funding to build missing ADA
ramps. See Appendix A for City of Vancouver example.
Adopt a formal ADA Citizen Request process. See Appendix A for process.
• The Director of Public Works or his designee will serve as the Sidewalk
Transition Plan Manager for the Public Work Department.
Sidewalk and Curb Ramp Inventory
Preparing a complete and useful inventory is costly for all agencies because of the
huge amount of labor required to collect, input and manage the data. The City has been
working toward having a complete inventory of sidewalks and curb ramps for all streets
in Pasco. As part of the development of Sidewalk Self- Evaluation, a sidewalk inventory
was started in 2011 which compiled data on the existence of curb ramps at
intersections, evaluation of compliance with current ADA standards and collected data
on obstructions to access on the sidewalks. This data was used to create a database
that when complete will include most streets. See Appendix B for map of inventoried
streets.
The Inventory in the Sidewalk Self- Evaluation is not complete. Much of the data is still
in field notes. To best manage the labor intensive task of completing the inventory, the
ranking process should be completed to focus further inventory efforts on priority
locations.
Recommendation: Complete the inventory of high and median priority locations and as
time permits for the remaining locations.
A field review of high priority roadways found most had sidewalk and where sidewalks
existed curb ramps existed at the intersection. It was also noted the most of the older
ramps were built substantially out of compliance with ADA standards. To facilitate
update of out of compliance ramps that are a barrier to the disabled, a replacement
policy has been proposed. The need for a policy was reviewed by the Community
Resource Team. It was agreed that not all non - compliant ramps need replacement.
Some ramps, that may not meet current standards provide adequate accessibility
where pose a major barrier.
'Department of Justice, 2010 ADA Standard for Accessible Design, September 15, 2010
City of Pasco
Sidewalk Transition Plan
Page 6 of 12

Recommendation: The City of Pasco should adopt a policy that facilitates which non-
compliant ramps need to be replaced.
Project Prioritization
The Community Resource Team assisted with the To prepare the Sidewalk Self -
evaluation and Sidewalk Transition Plan, the ADA committee was formed to assist in
prioritization of work. Prior to meeting with the ADA committee, a proposed ranking
method was suggested as a starting point. The Ranking Criteria was reviewed by the
committee and based on:
• Critical Area — such as the downtown.
• Critical Streets — such as arterials with transit service.
To further refine the prioritization process the following criteria was used:
• Important destination for citizens with disabilities,
• Pedestrian Collisions
• Commercial and other land use zoning
• Assisted living facilities
• Medical facilities
• Transit facilities
• Senior Center
City of Pasco
Sidewalk Transition Plan
Page 8 of 12
• Pasco Community Services
• Government buildings
• Library
• Schools including public, private and colleges
• Good Will Industries
• Streets with sidewalks.
• Upgrading streets without ramps prior to upgrading substandard ramps.
The criteria was mapped to facilitate ranking of roadways. See Appendix B for the
ranking criteria list, inventoried streets maps and criteria map.
The sidewalk system can be upgraded in many locations and many ways to make them
more accessible to individuals with disabilities. For example trimming trees and
repairing uplifted sidewalk are common problems, upgrading traffic signals with audible
pedestrian signals for the sight impaired, upgrading existing ramps to current standards
is often considered.
Installing curb ramps at an intersection with full height sidewalks at the corners is the
best value for the limited funding available. Curb ramps benefit the most citizens
compared to all other ADA sidewalk and pedestrian updgrades. Upgrading a non-
standard ramp cost approximately the same but only slightly improves accessibility.
Replacing driveways with excessive ramp cross slope is extremely expensive due to the
larger number and size of locations and only make an incremental improvement on
accessibility.
Requests for sidewalk/pedestrian upgrade requests can be considered on a case by
case basis with a funding set aside to address high ranking requests. For example,
upgrading traffic signals to include audible pedestrian signals would not be made on a
systematic process but if a request for this type of improvement is received at a high
ranking location, then it should be implemented.
Recommendation: Use the Ranking Criteria list and maps in Appendix B to rank
roadways with sidewalks for installation of curb ramps at intersections.
Recommendation: Additional accessible upgrades beyond installing new curb ramps
will be made as the opportunity presents itself or based on requests from the public. As
streets are upgraded via capital improvement projects, private improves, or
maintenance work; sidewalks should be upgraded to minimize barriers to accessibility
for persons with disabilities. Any request for a sidewalk /pedestrian improvement should
be given careful consideration of implementing based on the established priorities and
available funding.
Community Resource Team Comments
As part of the Sidewalk Self- Evaluation and Sidewalk Transition Plan, Pasco convened
a Community Resource Team to provide input on the process and the proposed
projects.
City of Pasco
Sidewalk Transition Plan
Page 9 of 12
The Community Resource Team met on August 23, 2012. One important comment
from this meeting was to add emphasis on roadways that crossed highways because of
their importance as passage through the barriers that highways create. The Road 68/1-
182 interchange was specifically noted as a location of concern.
Prior to the second Community Resource Team meeting on October 4, 2012, high
priority locations were field reviewed for appropriateness of ranking. Most locations had
substandard ramps. The Community Resource Team discussed development of
process for deciding what existing ramps should be replaced. The consensus was that
some substandard ramp should be acceptable with some criteria needed to assist with
make a decision on a case by case basis.
Recommendation: Adopt a policy that existing ramps built with Detectable Warning
Patterns (often referred to as truncated domes) or with a flat landing area will be
acceptable near term (next 5 to 10 years). This policy should be reviewed after no
more than 5 years to verify it is still acceptable practice. All other substandard ramps
will need to be replaced.
See the Ramp Replacement Policy in Appendix A
At the October 4, 2012 meeting, the high priority areas were discussed with the
Community Resource Team assisting in ranking recommended high priority locations.
The consensus was that the following areas are top priority:
• Downtown
• Court St
The second priority areas are:
• Road 68 area
• College area
• 4th Ave area
• Waterfront trail access areas.
• Oregon Ave area
See Appendix B for ranking criteria map of high priority areas.
Recommendation: The initial list of projects will be selected from the Downtown and
Court St areas. If more requests are received than funding is available, those from
priority area will be ranked higher that those from outside these areas.
Funding
The prioritize list of curb ramp locations will be used as the implementation guide for
Public Works ADA program. On an annual basis the City should make $50,000 of
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding available to the City specifically
for implementing sidewalk projects listed in the curb ramp priority list. Each year the
department will work to complete as many projects as possible with this funding, based
on the ranking of the priority list.
Beyond the on -going design funding of $50,000 per year, Public Works continues to
look for other funding sources for curb ramp improvements. These sources include
City of Pasco
Sidewalk Transition Plan
Page 10 of 12
state and federal grants, along with several local funding sources. The state and
federal grants the department has used include:
• Federal traffic safety program grants.
• Washington State Department of Transportation's Safe Routes to School
Program (formerly known as the Traffic Safety Near Schools Program)
• Washington State Department of Transportation's Pedestrian and Bicycle
Safety Program
• Transportation Improvement Board's Sidewalk Program
The most likely funding source for ADA ramps and sidewalk upgrade is CDBG. Public
Works proposes allocating $50,000 per year of the City's CDBG allocation to ADA
upgrades of ramps and sidewalks.
There are also several local funding sources that have been used to complete or
improve curb ramp locations. These include frontage improvements related to private
development project, major roadway improvement projects and pavement overlay
projects. These programs will not rely on the priority set in the Sidewalk Transition
Plan but will contribute to the overall City's effort to meet ADA Title II requirements.
A planning level unit cost estimate of $5,000 per corner is suggested for use in
establishing a budget for projects. This assumes some corners have a ramp on each
tangent and some have a single ramp at the apex of the curb return.
Assuming $50,000 is available per year then, eight corners at high priority location can
be constructed per year and 50 linear feet of sidewalk replaced per year.
Recommendation: An on -going budget of $50,000 per year of CDBG funding be
established for implementing ADA sidewalks and pedestrian upgrades to respond to
requests and implement high priority projects on the project list in Appendix C.
The high priority projects have been mapped on the Sidewalk Transition Plan — Priority
Projects map. This is dependent on funding available, the bids of early project and the
final list of ramps to be replaced. The project list in Appendix C includes a few extra
streets assuming the available funding was extended beyond the high priority projects
or few high priority projects needed to be deferred due to complication such as utility
conflicts.

Sidewalk Transition Plan
Page I I of 12
Schedule
It will take the City of Pasco many years of dedicated work to upgrade all the sidewalks
and other pedestrian improvements to meet ADA standards. This plan provides a
foundation for this work but will require updating in the future. The project list in
Appendix C is intended to cover the next 5 years of work. This assumes funding will be
available at the level recommended above ($50,000 - $100,000 /year). The schedule is
based on the number of ramps that can be constructed per year. This does not include
work that will be completed by other sources but it is reasonable to assume that the up
to 20% of high ranking locations will be implemented by other funding sources. In
Appendix C, the Sidewalk Transition Plan — Priority Projects maps provides an
approximate schedule for the installation of ADA compliant ramps.
At a minimum of three (3) years and a maximum of five (5) years, the progress on the
Sidewalk Transition Plan should be assessed. If projects are being completed on
schedule then the next set of projects on the high priority list can be scheduled for
implementation. If not or if priorities have changed, the Sidewalk Transition Plan should
be reviewed to better meet the conditions of the day.
Recommendation: Proceed with implementation of the high priority projects on the
tentative scheduled included in the project list. Review progress after a minimum of 3
years and adjust schedule accordingly.

1/28: DISCUSSION
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. Most of the coal delivered to U.S. consumers and for foreign export is transported
by railroads. Because of strong overseas demand, shipments of coal to Pacific
Northwest export terminals and facilities could increase up to an estimated 170
million tons annually by 2022.
B. Many local governments in Washington State are concerned about the impacts of
increased rail traffic going through their communities. Of particular concern are
the length and frequency of coal transport trains — up to 1' /z miles long and
potentially up to 32 trains per day using Pasco rail lines.
C. Concerns include:
• Frequent train use of at -grade crossings resulting in significant delays
for general citizenry and vehicular shipments of freight;
• Delays of emergency response teams;
• Diversion of traffic trying to avoid train caused delays to City streets
unsuitable for large traffic volumes or heavy truck traffic; and
• The cost of infrastructure improvements necessary to minimize traffic
delays (variable message signs, grade separated crossings, traffic
signal improvements and synchronization).
D. Staff has prepared a background memorandum for Council consideration and
would benefit from Council discussion of this issue.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 16, 2013
TO: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
FROM: Rick White, Director �J
Community & Economic Development IR/
SUBJECT: Coal Trains
There is the potential for significant increases of U.S. coal exports and the railroad shipments of those
exports. The increase in coal exports is attributed in part to the growth in the economies of Asian
markets. As coal volumes decline for use in domestic markets, producers are actively looking to
expand production and exportation of coal resources of the Powder River Basin (PRB) in Montana
and Wyoming to take advantage of that overseas growth.
In order to transport PRB coal to existing coal export terminals in British Columbia and new
terminals proposed in the Pacific Northwest, railcars will be used. State and local governments have
expressed concern over the proposed construction of new coal export facilities and the associated
increase in train traffic transporting coal.
There are several major
assumptions
that have been made
concerning the level and amount of coal
exports and related train
traffic. These
are:
• The Asian economies will continue to grow at a rapid pace and continue to use increasing
amounts of coal.
• Projected PRB coal exports to Pacific Northwest export terminals will reach 75 million tons
per year by 2017 (estimated 15 trains per day routed through Pasco) and 170 million tons per
year (estimated 32 trains per day routed through Pasco) by 2022.
• Six proposed coal terminals will be constructed, three each in Washington and Oregon
(although it appears that one of these has already been taken off of the table as a potential
resource - Grays Harbor). The proposed coal export terminals range in projected costs from
$45 million to $645 million.
• BNSF will provide the capital funds needed to increase track and locomotive capacity to
accommodate the increase in train traffic (to reach the maximum levels of transported coal,
BNSF needs both an increased number of locomotives and track capacity).
PRB coal rail shipments for transport to British Columbia and future Pacific Northwest terminals
must go through Sandpoint, Idaho due to the difficulty of crossing the Rockies with heavy and long
transport trains. From Sandpoint, the coal is transported to Spokane where it would most likely be
routed to existing British Columbia terminals through Stevens Pass and the Cascade tunnel routes
(bypassing Pasco). The possibility exists for British Columbia bound loaded coal trains to also be
routed to Stampede Pass (hence, through Pasco), but is unlikely due to the steeper grades and
congestion of those railroad lines in the Pass. If the proposed Pacific Northwest terminals are
constructed (Cherry Point and Longview in Washington; St Helens, Coos Bay and
Boardman /Morrow in Oregon), then the coal transport trains will be routed through Pasco in order to
use the Columbia River Gorge route to those new terminals. This is also the case if Stampede Pass is
used more than presently anticipated.
In both scenarios describe above, the possibility exists that returning empty trains would be routed
through Pasco due to the easier haul of empty rail cars through Stampede Pass. Should all the
assumptions play out and the above scenarios become reality — Pasco could experience up to 32 coal
trains per day using existing rail lines in a worst case situation. This would be in addition to other
non -coal train traffic.
Multi -stage fracturing ( "fracking") has also significantly increased the output of crude oil from the
Bakken oil formation in North Dakota and Montana. At least one oil company has announced that it
intends to transport up to 120,000 barrels of crude per day to a refinery in Anacortes, and three other
oil companies have indicated interest in transporting approximately 500,000 barrels per day to Pacific
Northwest refineries. Transportation of this crude oil will occur on many of the lines impacted or
expected to be impacted by coal shipments.
Each coal train is between 1' /o mile (6600 feet) and 1'/2 mile (7920 feet) long. A 1'/a mile long train
contains approximately 125 cars and a 1'/2 mile train contains approximately 150 cars. Although
longer coal trains at 1'h mile long would result in less trips per day, traffic blockage would be longer
per train than if 1 %< mile long trains were used.
A 1 %2 mile long train travelling at 10 miles per hour can be expected to take better than 9 minutes to
pass a given point. If the 32 train per day level is reached, this could result in 300 minutes (5 hours) of
delay per 24 hour day.
The expected congestion points in Pasco are at the "A" Street and Oregon Avenue grade crossings —
particularly if siding movements are used for outbound coal trains.
The Police Department has determined that the scenarios described above do not present adverse
operating conditions as they are not dispatching officers from a fixed point (such as a fire station).
The Fire Department has provided the following comments on the possibility of both the number of
possible coal trains and the use of siding yards:
The movement of sided trains in and out of the south yard has the most impact on
Fire /EMS operations. This movement effectively isolates the area east of 4th Avenue
and south of "A" Street from timely emergency access. This area includes residential
occupancies, the Boat Basin, City shops, Lampson Crane and commercial and
industrial occupancies including the Big Pasco warehouse area. RCW limits crossing
closures to 10 minutes or be opened at the request of emergency services. However,
the time it takes to stop the train, break loose the cars and move them would exceed
the time it takes to clear the crossing. There is the potential to respond around the
Oregon Avenue crossing by going east on "A" Street to Road 40 East. The problem
with choosing to use that route is not knowing when Oregon is blocked prior to
responding. Consideration should be given to a method to monitor the Oregon and
"A" Street crossing at the Dispatch Center and have them advise responding
Fire /EMS or law units of the crossing status.
The Public Works Department has provided the following additional analysis:
The following comments are based on impacts to the crossings shown on the attached
diagram. Area "A" (in red) shows the impacts to local Pasco traffic in the localized
area surrounding the most impacted crossings. Area "B" (in blue) shows an
estimated zone of impacts to pass- through highway traffic and local traffic from the
US 395/US 12 interchange destined for the Cable Bridge.
The additional train traffic and the delays associated with the length and slow speed
of the trains will divert traffic on to other City streets. This is particularly true of
commercial traffic that will be less and less likely to use "A" Street and portions of
Oregon Avenue due to the uncertainty of closures and long delays.
Without computer modeling, the magnitude of the traffic diversion is uncertain but
they could include substantial impacts on:
1. Traffic safety associated with more traffic on City streets.
2. Congestion associated with more traffic and large trucks at intersections.
3. Livability impacts of cut - through traffic on neighborhood streets not intended as
through streets.
4. Pavement deterioration due to heavy vehicles on City Streets that are diverted off
SR -397
5. Economic impacts on businesses located on the SR -397 corridor to serve
commercial traffic.
Area "A" serves industrial /commercial land use that generates a high volume of truck
traffic. These heavy vehicles have a larger effect on pavement conditions. The
sections of roadway most likely to be impacted by traffic diversions from the coal
and oil trains are:
• Lewis Street from 10th Ave to Oregon Avenue,
4th Avenue from "A" Street to Lewis Street,
• 5th Avenue from "A" Street to Lewis Street, and
• Oregon Avenue from Ainsworth Avenue to Lewis Street.
The frequent and long delays on Oregon Ave -SR 397 corridor will likely divert pass -
through traffic away from the corridor between the US 395/US 1.2/1 -182 interchange
and the Cable Bridge. This includes a high volume of truck and commercial traffic.
It will require traffic modeling to best predict the impacts but the following locations
are likely to be impacted:
Lewis Street from Oregon to 10th Avenue. This will further necessitate the
construction of the Lewis Street overpass that is currently unfunded.
4th Avenue, 20th Avenue, Court Street, and Lewis Street all may be impacted by
cut - through highway traffic destined for the Cable Bridge.
Additional traffic diversions from the coal and oil trains may have other traffic
impacts that are not easily identified without significant study. Such study efforts
would include collecting traffic counts and computer modeling of the existing and
future traffic.
The majority of the impacts can be addressed with grade separated crossings of the
arterial roadways. Due to the high cost of this type of improvement, BNSF would
likely resist this expenditure. Variable message signs installed at key locations to
alert through traffic and others (emergency services) of long delays associated with
coal trains should be considered as a possible mitigation measure.
Although much is assumed in determining the possible 32 train per day level for Pasco, it is safe to
say that there will be significant local costs associated with analysis of impacts, possible litigation and
future infrastructure improvements necessary to accommodate expected coal and oil train traffic
levels.

$90,294 in Federal HOME CHDO funds
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. Under the HOME program, 15% of funds are earmarked annually for federally designated
Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO). The three cities rotate the
responsibility for distributing these funds. Pasco is responsible for distributing the 2011
HOME CHDO funds totaling $90,294 this year. The City received applications from Tri-
County Habitat for Humanity and Benton Franklin Community Action Committee (CAC),
both eligible CHDO organizations, for use of the 2011 CHDO funds. Council awarded 2011
CHDO funds to CAC for acquisition and rehabilitation of a 4 -plex for transitional housing in
April, 2012. The funds must be obligated by March 30, 2013 per the HOME Consortium
Lead Agency and the HUD Representative.
B. The CAC original project for acquisition/rehabilitation of an existing 4 -plex has been delayed
by the following issues:
Potential 4 -plex structures are occupied, requiring relocation of tenants (already low -
income)
Potential vacant multi- family structures have been non - conforming uses (residential in
commercial zone) or in poor condition making rehabilitation cost prohibitive, as the
projects do not "pencil out"
Use of HOME funds is subject to a lengthy environmental review process, which
includes lead based paint assessment, and an asbestos good faith survey. This has
precluded further property searches, as time for processing will exceed the obligation
deadline.
C. CAC has explored developing transitional single family housing, but single family housing
units do not "pencil out" per square foot construction costs or for operations and maintenance
costs.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. The Tri-Cities HOME Consortium has developed an alternative that would allow Kennewick
to trade Pasco's 2011 CHDO funds for Kennewick's 2015 funds.
B. The alternative involves a program year 2011 swap with Kennewick for their program year
2015 funds in order to make timely use of the 2011 funds. Kennewick will use the 2011 funds
to complete their 5th & Jean project with Habitat for Humanity. Pasco would then receive our
2014 annual CHDO allocation and Kennewick's 2015 allocation. CAC could then reapply for
future CHDO set -aside funds upon CHDO recertification and submission of a complete
proposal packet.
C. If Council concurs with this alternative, the proposed resolution authorizing an agreement
with Kennewick and rescinding award of 2011 CHDO funds to CAC will be returned to
Council for action.

WHEREAS, the City of Pasco selected the Benton Franklin Community Action Committee's
(CAC) proposal to purchase and renovate a small apartment building to provide affordable housing for
families with children who come from homelessness and are currently case managed and supported by
CAC; and
WHEREAS, lack of suitable properties caused a significant change in the scope of work which
impedes the ability of CAC to complete the project within HUD deadlines for timeliness; and
WHEREAS, member cities of the Tri- Cities HOME Consortium have developed an alternative
project that can meet HUD deadlines for timeliness by exchanging Pasco's 2011 CHDO allocation for
Kennewick's 2015 CHDO allocation; Now, THEREFORE,
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO:
Section 1. That the City Council rescinds the award of the 2011 HOME CHDO funds
totaling $90,294 to Benton Franklin Community Action Committee and authorizes the City Manager to

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 20, 2012
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Shane O'Neill, Planner I
SUBJECT: Revisions to PMC Title 25 (Zoning) (MF# CA2012 -006)
Over the years, administration of the Zoning regulations found in Title 25 of the Pasco
Municipal Code (PMC) has revealed the need for certain modifications to provide clarity or
to address changing conditions within the community. As such, the Planning Department has
undertaken the task of inventorying sections of the code that may warrant modification.
The proposed modifications are divided into two categories; they are substantive and
perfunctory. The list of perfunctory revisions is intended to contain less complex items
having minor bearing on regulations. Types of perfunctory changes include grammatical and
punctuation corrections, single word or phrase addition/removal, deletion of extraneous
definitions and relocation of code sections to correct sequential order.
The list of substantive revisions can be characterized as pertaining mostly to the need to
clarify existing definitions. One other notable substantive change is the inclusion of
nightclubs into the list of Conditional Uses in the C -1 zone.
MOTION: I move the Planning Commission recommend the City Council adopt the
proposed Code Amendments modifying PMC Title 25 as indicated in the staff memorandum
dated December 20, 2012 (Master File# CA2012 -006).

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/28: Discussion, Provide Direction to Staff
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) PMC Chapter 1.10 provides that five of the seven City Council positions be filled
by citizens residing in the respective district. The ordinance was established in
1971 in an effort to assure geographic representation and, in particular, to assure
an opportunity for ethnic representation on the City Council. As a precaution (to
assure "equal representation" as required under the Constitution), the ordinance
further requires that no district may be more than 10% greater or smaller than
another district ( "10 %" rule). Section 1.10.010 of the PMC reads: "The City is
divided into five voting districts. Each district shall be a nearly equal in
population as possible; compact as possible; consist of geographically contiguous
area; be configured as to not favor or disfavor any racial group or political party;
and to the extent feasible, coincide with the existing recognized natural
boundaries so as to preserve existing communities of related and mutual interest."
B) Given ordinary community growth rates, the City Council districts were revised
once every 10 years, following the decennial federal census. With the rapid
growth of Pasco over the past decade, however, the district boundaries have
required adjustment every two years in order to comply with the "10% rule." The
last effort (2011) continued to illustrate that the ability to comply with the 10%
rule with five districts is becoming so difficult as to be improbable without
starting over entirely (the existing composition of districts is so bound by
precincts and current council residency, that it becomes improbable to define a
long -term change without displacing a current Councilmember).
C) Prior to adjusting district boundaries in 2011, staff worked with the county auditor
to reduce the size of precincts, particularly in the older part of the city. As a
result, about a dozen precincts were split in two, both in the older area and the
plateau (to accommodate anticipated growth). Those changes helped to provide
more flexibility, but did not relieve the problem in a significant way. Current
population numbers reflect use of 2010 Census counts and the recent annexation
of Area 2.
4(h)
D) The current population estimates, by precinct/district, reflect a disparity greater
than 10 %. Thus, action is required by the City Council to revise the council
district boundaries in advance of the 2013 municipal election (filing period is the
week of May 13). Revisions should be completed by March (at latest), so as to
provide sufficient notice to the community in advance of the election filing
period. Any revision must be preceded by a public hearing.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Clearly, the continuing population growth requires Council action to adjust the
district boundaries to reflect the spirit and letter of state and local law. As
discussed two years ago, staff has developed two options following the notion of
wholesale change: that is, continuing with five districts, roughly equal in size,
without regard to residency of current Councilmembers (see options A, B and C
for 5 Districts). Council will clearly see that districts can begin to be drawn more
logically and compactly if residency is not a consideration (Council should keep
in mind that while a change in district lines can effect the ability of an incumbent
to run for re- election, such a change cannot effect an incumbent during his/her
elected term of office). For reference, terms for incumbents are as follows:
Expiring 12/31/13
Garrison, District No. 2
Hoffmann, District No. 3
Larsen, At Large, Position 7
Expiring 12/31/15
Yenney, District No. 1
Martinez, District No. 4
Francik, District No. 5
Watkins, At Large, Position 6
B) To explore other alternatives, staff has developed (for Council discussion) three
options under a 3- District plan (assumed: two councilmembers elected from each
district, staggered terms; one member elected at large). Council will note that
larger districts have more elasticity in size, requiring less frequent need for
adjustment and more flexibility to make adjustments, when needed.
C) There are likely additional variations of either of the two options (5- District vs. 3-
District) presented herein. Council's direction as to its preference will allow staff
to develop the approach that most closely fits the City's needs.
D) As the election filing period begins May 13, 2013 and a public hearing should be
conducted before Council takes final action on any plan, staff requests direction
on Council's preferred approach. A public hearing scheduled in February would
permit final action in early March, thereby providing about 60 days lead time
prior to the filing deadline.

FOR: City
FROM: Gary
SUBJECT: Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
AGENDA REPORT
Franklin County Historical Society
1. Letter from Paul Whitemarsh, Historical Society President
2. Proposed Agreement
January 22, 2013
Workshop Mtg.: 1/28/13
Regular Mtg.: 2/4/13
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/28 Discussion
2/4 MOTION: I move to approve
the proposed
agreement with the Franklin County
Historical Society
and, further,
authorize the
Mayor to sign the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Current contract $8,500 annually; proposed contract $9,500 annually; general fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The city has contracted with the Franklin County Historical Society since 1997 to
provide certain services to both the city and community as a whole. The
agreement was established to provide a more consistent source of revenue to the
Society while providing a reliable source for historical information to the
community.
B) In 2003, the Society undertook additional efforts to benefit the city and/or
community at large. Those efforts required additional funding to permit them to
be successful; the contract fee was increased to $8,500 /year at that time. Those
additions were: Oral Histories; City Hall Exhibits; Speakers Bureau; Cultural
Diversity (expanding its archival materials to better reflect the cultural diversity of
Pasco and Franklin County),
C) The attached letter from Paul Whitemarsh, President of the Franklin County
Historical Society, explains the Society's need to increase the contract fee.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The 10- year -old
agreement has
proven to
be beneficial to both the community and
the Society for
the respective
objectives.
The commitment of such a relatively
modest annual
sum permits
a strong
and important community volunteer
organization to
provide the community
an invaluable resource; that value will
only grow over
time and it is
critical that
the city do what it can to assure the
maintenance of
such resources.
B) The requested increase represents an increase of about 12 %. Over 10 years, that is
well less than the annual rate of inflation. Staff recommends approval of the
revised agreement with a revised (total) annual contract fee of $9,500.

City Manager's Office
Our usual billing statement is scheduled to be sent in early February for the first half
payment due in March of 2013. I am writing in advance to request a review of our
agreement between the City of Pasco and the Franklin County Historical Society. As you
know, this funding is in exchange for archival and exhibit services that are provided to
the City of Pasco and its citizens; and the funding is crucial to the successful operation of
the museum.
Like all nonprofits, we are on a tight budget. We have been fortunate to receive some
generous bequests that have kept us safe from the economy until now. Unfortunately, the
lack of interest income coupled with rising costs has severely crippled our budget.
Given that the annual amount billed has remained $8,500.00 since 2004; considering that
we have offered exemplary service for over ten years; that we continue to provide the
same services and more, including cooperation with City of Pasco's Communication
Specialist, Jon Funfar, for his project needs; we are requesting an increase in the payment
to $9,500.00. We appreciate your consideration of this matter.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees and museum staff, please accept our thanks for your
continued support, and convey our sincere appreciation to the City Council. If there are
any additional services we might be able to provide the City of Pasco, please let us know.
Sincerely,
Paul Whitemarsh
FCHS President Elect
