IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. City Council formed a Public Development Authority in December of 2010 to
undertake revitalization of the Downtown area, provide management of the Pasco
Specialty Kitchen and Farmer's Market and promote utilization of the facade
improvement program funded through Community Development Block Grant
funds.
B. The Downtown Pasco Development Authority (DPDA) was licensed in
Washington State as a non - profit corporation in May of 2011 and a full Board was
appointed in July of 2011.
C. Through the remainder of 2011 and into 2012, the DPDA was involved in the job
search for the Executive Director position and in March of 2012, the Director was
hired.
D. In creating the Downtown Pasco Development Authority (DPDA), City Council
acknowledged that the Authority would have operational expenses that exceed
revenues and through a funding agreement with the DPDA, has obligated an
annual amount of $60,000 for a three year period to supplement their
revitalization efforts.
E. The funding agreement with the DPDA is in effect from January 2012 through
December of 2014. The agreement also calls for submitting quarterly written
reports to the City Manager and an annual report to City Council.
F. The DPDA Board Chair and Executive Director will provide the Annual Report
presentation to Council.

2/11: Discussion
2/19: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , authorizing amendment of
Pasco Municipal Code Title 3 and Title 13 to remove, add and
update various sections relating to definitions of city fund and,
further, authorize publication by summary only.
II. FISCAL IMPACT:
Specific fees will ensure those that benefit from special services cover those costs rather
than the general utility customer who receives no benefit from the requested or required
special services.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Discussion occurred during the October 8 Council Workshop meeting covering the
Pasco Municipal Code as it related to certain utility billing and collection activities.
Four areas were discussed along with six staff recommendations as follows:
1. Penalty date changed from 30 to 25 days past bill date.
2. Shut -off date changed from 5 days to 12 days from PAST DUE bill date.
3. Reconnection of water service while leaving regular bill charges less than 20
days old unpaid.
4. No longer require deposits for owner accounts.
5. Add a $15 "Field Service" fee for services that benefit only specific customers
and not the general utility customer thereby lowering the cost of doing business
for the general utility customer.
6. Authorize the Finance Manager to make payment arrangements and specify the
conditions under which full payment would be required in order to restore
service.
B) Council requested the above recommendations and council discussion be used to
update the Pasco Municipal Code. In drafting the municipal code updates additional
opportunities for efficiencies and clarification were identified and discussed at the
November 13, 2012 Council Workshop meeting. The following staff
recommendations from that meeting were follows:
1. Consolidate customer responsibilities and billing rules into a new chapter in
Title 3 of the Pasco Municipal Code.
2. Lower the fee and clarify the application fee and process.
3. Update the authorized fees to include electronic payment fees, to raise existing
late penalty to $10 and add new $10 fee for phone collection service along with
specifying the condition under which the fees can be waived.
4. Authorize the city to require city issued locks for gates that block access to city
water meters.
4(b)
V. DISCUSSION:
Some additional changes in the proposed ordinance not previously discussed:
A) Deposit Calculation. The current deposit requirement is for three months of the
base fee for water and sewer service. This deposit is not sufficient to recover the
full amount of services rendered from the time service is incurred to the time water
is shut -off for lack of payment. The time frame of 3 months is correct, but staff
recommends the change to include all applicable base service fees for the property
plus a $75 estimate for 3 months of water consumption. This is approximately $217
for a residential customer as compared to the current amount of $112 (if there is a
landlord lien) or $172 (if the landlord has an approved "Release of Lien (ROL)" on
file).
B) Deposit Retention. Currently the city has two sets of rules for tenant deposits
depending on whether the landlord has an approved "Release of Lien" (ROL) on
file. If there is a ROL then the tenant deposit is held for the life of the account; if
there is no ROL then the deposit can be waived or returned based on tenant good
customer credit. The effect of this split policy is to put some landlords at risk for
tenant bills by the city returning the tenants deposit when the landlord guarantees
the account. The proposed ordinance changes the deposit policy such that the
current policy for tenants with a ROL would apply to all tenants; i.e. all tenant
deposits would be held until the tenant account was closed, the deposit applied
automatically to all outstanding charges, and any remaining amount would be
refunded to the tenant. This approach places the burden and responsibility for the
bill primarily on the tenant and the city is acting to protect landlords by imposing a
reasonable level of deposit protection; which also eliminates any impact on new
tenants from dealing with issues of prior tenants' unpaid bills.
C) Deposit Retention Transition. The change to hold all tenant deposits until the
account closes will apply to new tenant accounts with a start date later than
February 28, 2013. The authority to require the tenant with poor payment history to
re- establish a deposit that has been previously waived will continue for all tenant
accounts with a start date prior to February 28, 2013.
D) Release of Lien. The city's current municipal code defines the tenant and not the
property owner liable for payment of the tenant utility charges. Also, per current
municipal code and past practice the granting of a release of lien to the owner of a
rental property is automatically available upon request. Furthermore, since the city
is currently willing to grant the release automatically, to all requestors, the
requirement to request the release has been removed and the benefit is now
automatically available by code. This significantly simplifies and thereby reduces
the cost of managing tenant accounts. What this change means is that the unpaid
portion of a tenant bill when the account is closed will be sent to an outside
collection agency for collection and the property owner will not be responsible for
payment of the tenant bill in all cases rather than just in the case where property
owners who were aware of their rights requested the benefit.

costs shall be included on the customer billing. Separate notice of the assessed costs and penalty
together with their right to a hearing to contest the assessment and penalty as provided below
shall be mailed to the account holder. There is hereby created a presumption that the customer is

2/11: Discussion
2/19: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. amending Resolution
No. 3446 regarding Public Records Requests.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Absent some method to reasonably manage large or complex public records requests
within existing staff resources, the City will be required to dedicate additional personnel
to handling public records requests and/or significantly impact the volume /pace of work
in certain functions.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) In recent years, the City has seen a rapid growth in the number and complexity of
public records requests. In addition to having to defend its response to numerous
requests in 2011 by litigation, the City has seen the number of requests and the
complexity of requests increase dramatically. For example, in the months of
December 2011 and January 2012, the City received a total of 17 requests with
none of the requests needing more time (beyond five days) for response. During
December 2012 and January 2013, requests have tallied 60 in number with 23 of
them requiring extended time to complete (see Reference Nos. 1 and 2).
B) The City Clerk is the City's Public Records Officer and had typically spent three
to four hours per week (10% of time) coordinating the City's response to and
fulfilling records requests. For the past year or so, the Clerk has been spending
90 -95% of her time, or 36 plus hours per week, on records requests. Additionally,
other city departments (from Information Services to Human Resources, plus
operating departments) have been called upon to devote significant staff resources
to the increasing workload associated with records requests.
C) Not only has the number of requests increased dramatically, but the complexity of
requests has also increased with citizens asking for records (or in some cases,
information) requiring significant research, and for all types of records including
electronic, video and metadata. See reference No. 3 for samples of some of the
complex requests recently received.
4(c)
D) The number and complexity of records requests have the potential to consume
significant staff resources and, because there is no protection of the City's
resources from the "serial" or abusive records requester, cost the taxpayer in
terms of service delivery or higher expenses due to staffing increases. In a time of
restricted local government revenue, the cost implications of a system that has
virtually no checks and balances are clearly some of the unintended consequences
of the state's approach to public records.
E) While some may suggest that
believe that is not entirely the
received, together with the expe
state (i.e., Mesa, Prosser, Gold
framework that will enable it to
while maintaining a reasonable
and budget.
the condition is temporary, staff is inclined to
case. The diversity of requests that are being
riences of other local governments throughout the
Bar) suggests that the City must put in place a
respond to the demands of the public and the law
deployment and allocation of its staff resources
F) Because the matter of records production can be very complex in type, subject,
location and efficiency and because the law is still so much open to interpretation,
the City cannot simply hire additional "clerks" on a temporary basis to respond to
increases in workload. The nature of the work requires scheduling, coordinating
and decision making, coupled with considerable training, in order to avoid legal
pitfalls and wasted effort. As the City Clerk's office is the central place of contact
and coordination it becomes the critical "choke- point" in the City's handling of all
requests.
G) Relying on its experience and guidance from the State Attorney General
(WAC44 -14- 04003), staff has developed an approach that will help preserve the
City's ability to process relatively simple requests quickly and efficiently and
without the need to be held up when staff resources are required for large,
complex requests. The proposed process will allow staff to use several criteria to
determine if a request is simple and routine or large and complex. (See pages 4
and 5 of the attached Resolution.) Large and complex requests will be processed
in the order that they are received and staff proposes, initially, to allocate
approximately 50% of available time to responding to such requests. Simple
requests will also be processed in the order received with an initial allocation of
one half of estimated staff resources. The system may be likened to that
implemented in grocery stores with "express lanes" for those with a limited
number of items and regular lanes for those with fuller baskets. As this is a
concept with which the public is thoroughly familiar, staff feels there will be
understanding and acceptance by most. (Note: the proposed amendment to the
City's Resolution on Public Records Requests provides the option for a records
requester to simplify their request, thus providing the option to move their request
to the "express" lane.)
H) Until and unless the state legislature is willing to consider the budgetary demands
on local governments, which are being brought about in the absence of any
reasonable limits in the public records law, the City must manage its resources to
provide the best service to the most citizens. Absent this approach, the City will
have no alternative but to increase trained staffing to respond to requests which,
seemingly, have no limits.
V, DISCUSSION:
A) Staff urges approval of the Resolution.

Chippewa County is located on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It isn't a wealthy community: the average per
capita income is only $19,334. And it is cold. It gets an average of 99 inches of snow every year, In January, the
average temperature is six degrees. But what it makes up for in big dollars and warmth is something worth much
more: big hearts and a burning desire to save lives. In 2011, Chippewa County bad a 95% rate of lifesaving. The year
before it was 93 %-
It was not always like that. Cats were often killed on intake. There were very limited times that the "pound" was
open to the public. The facility had no outside area for dogs. The dogs rarely if ever left the building. Volunteers
were not allowed or welcome even though many tried to help. Despite promises of change, including the building of
a new facility, things did not improve and in some cases, worsened. According Deborah Green, one of the leaders of
the No Kill initiative, "A wonderful new facility was built in 2003 but unfortunately the old employees and their
philosophy came with it." As many as eight out of 10 animals were killed.
After members of the public agreed to find a foster home for a pregnant dog and committed to saving all of her
puppies, staff killed the dog instead. That is when everything changed. The old regime left and Molly Henderson was
hired. Deborah Green calls Holly's hiring the "best decision the County ever made."
According to Green,
She has had the interest of the animals as the first priority from day one. I have seen what having the
wrong people in charge can result in, The goal has to be that "every animal that is savable must be
saved ". You have to be dedicated and strong, umvaiverable, to make that happen and that is Holly. Holly
has always found a way to make it work no matter how much effort or work it entails. The continued
success of ... the Chippewa County Animal Control Shelter is due to Holly and all her hard work and
determination.
Meet Holly Henderson.

Holly came to the U.P. from Santa Monica. California. Although she did not bring sunny weather with her, she did
bring a refreshing "can do" attitude, and a dedication to saving lives. She also brought a new mindset: she embraced
the community. In fact, Holly is a self-admitted "broken record." Whenever she needs help, whenever things look
tough, regardless of the challenges, her answer is always the same: she reaches out to her community. Holly
attributes all of Chippewa's success to the support of her staff, the willingness of the volunteers, and the kindness of
her community.'
When I took over the animal shelter in Tompkins County, the then - shelter manager once told urge that volunteers
"were more trouble than they are worth." Needless to say, she was replaced. And a dozen or so regular volunteers
quickly became hundreds. They were kev to our success. In Reno, the Nevada Humane Society has grown their
volunteer program from a small handful to nearly 8,000. They are key to their success, But Holly goes one stop
further: she doesn't just embrace volunteers, she gives them the keys to the kingdom. Literally. She literally gives the
keys to the shelter to a dedicated core of volunteers so that they can come and go as they please. "These are
professional people," Holly explains, "[When they take a] genuine interest in the shelter and the needs of our pets I
make sure they have access to the facility at their convenience."

According to Holly,
Page 4 of!
It allows key volunteers to come into the shelter when it best suits their schedule. For example, Don and
Sharon, a husband and wife team, come in after hours to `interview' cats for their Petfrnder posting as
well as writing a personality description for their cage. Don also keeps a long path mowed through the
grass for volunteers who walk dogs.
We also have another team, sisters Kristin and Tammi, who come in Sunday evenings, a day we are
closed to the public, to let our dogs out for their potty break. Kristin also does our incredible pet pictures
for our Petfinder site.
Prior to coming to Chippewa, Holly's only previous shelter experience was as a volunteer for a kill shelter in
California. When she found herself in charge of the shelter in Chippewa County and having to make the decision of
who lives and who dies, she did not fall back on excuses_ As she has done over and over again, she reached out to
her community for help. No matter what the topic and what area of shelter operations, Holly never takes credit for
her success. She is always pointing at others:
1 know most of my answers are now beginning to sound like a broken record but I so often hear the
complaint of `it's not possible to be no -kill being a municipal organization, we don't have the budget,
we don't have the staff...' There is such an easy answer to this question, Volunteers! I absolutely cannot
do this job without their help, plain and simple. You can't and you won't get to no -kill without them.
In fact, I asked her if she had one piece of advice for other shelter directors, especially those who continue to kill
healthy and treatable animals, it was —you guessed it volunteers:

There are so many incredibly talented, kind, professional people out there willing to put their time and
money into your organization.
What I carne to realize after reading `Rcdemnrion' is that it wasn't enough to not [kill] adoptable
animals; we owe it to them to provide more than just shelter. We need to make sure they stay with us the
shortest amount of time possible as well as providing the best care possible, physical and emotional. As
long as I am at the shelter we will always work, strive to become better; and in a municipal organization
such as ours I can't get there without volunteers,
Directors may claim volunteers are welcome in their shelter. Holly is willing to give them the keys to it.
" Holly mentioned and thanked so many people in the interview that, unfortunately in the interest of length, X could
not include them all. But a special thanks, from Holly to Dr. Christopher Halt Dr. Mandie Wehr, Marilyn Carter,
.Don and Sharon Brunner, .Kristin Green and Tammi Proulx, and many, many others.

County Governments RARELY take Animal Control OR adoptions into consideration for hodays
- or any other day for that matter! For example - in Montgomery County Tennessee where I was
Director- I was reprimanded when I had the facilely open for adoptions and had staff working to
get animals to a safe home. The county HR Director informed me that I violated a Federal Wage
and Hour Law doing so and that my staff needed their holiday more than anyone. We rotated
shifts and holidays and the staff didn't mind ... except one who I subsequenity fired. But then in
Cheatham County Tennessee where I was Director - it was supported for me to be open for
adoptions whenever I felt it would benefit - AND it was allowed for staff to take their "holiday'
another day. Staff has to work everyday to care for the animals so WHY NOT be open to the public
too ? ?? It's all in who's running the local government. And most of them frankly don't give a damn.
BUT we elect these people and need to do a better job vetting them!!!

Such ignorance by the very position - Director - that should be the leader of change and education

WAC 44 -14 -04003
Responsibilities of agencies in processing requests.
Page I of 3
(1) Similar treatment and purpose of the request. The act provides: "Agencies shall not distinguish among persons requesting records, and
such persons shall not be required to provide information as to the purpose for the request" (except to determine if the request is for a
commercial use or would violate another statute prohibiting disclosure). RCW 42.17.270/42.56.080. The act also requires an agency to take the
"most timely possible action on requests" and make records "promptly available." RCW 42.17.290/42.56.100 and 42.17.270/42.56.080. However,
treating requesters similarly does not mean that agencies must process requests strictly in the order received because this might not be providing
the "most timely possible action" for all requests. A relatively simple request need not wait for a long period of time while a much larger request is
being fulfilled. Agencies are encouraged to be flexible and process as many requests as possible even if they are out of order.'
An agency cannot require a requester to state the purpose of the request (with limited exceptions). RCW 42.17.270/42.56.080. However, in an
effort to better understand the request and provide all responsive records, the agency can inquire about the purpose of the request. The
requester is not required to answer the agency's inquiry (with limited exceptions as previously noted).
(2) Provide "fullest assistance" and "most timely possible action." The act requires agencies to adopt and enforce reasonable rules to
provide for the "fullest assistance" to a requester. RCW 42.17.290142.56100. The "fullest assistance" principle should guide agencies when
processing requests. In general, an agency should devote sufficient staff time to processing records requests, consistent with the act's
requirement that fulfilling requests should not be an "excessive interference" with the agency's "other essential functions." RCW
42.17.290/42.56.100. The agency should recognize that fulfilling public records requests is one of the agency's duties, along with its others.
The act also requires agencies to adopt and enforce rules to provide for the "most timely possible action on requests" RCW
42.17.290/42.56.100. This principle should guide agencies when processing requests. It should be noted that this provision requires the most
timely "possible" action on requests. This recognizes that an agency is not always capable of fulfilling a request as quickly as the requester would
like.
(3) Communicate with requestor. Communication is usually the key to a smooth public records process for both requesters and agencies.
Clear requests for a small number of records usually do not require predelivery communication with the requester. However, when an agency
receives a large or unclear request, the agency should communicate with the requester to clarify the request. If the request is modified orally, the
public records officer or designee should memorialize the communication in writing.
For large requests, the agency may ask the requester to prioritize the request so that he or she receives the most important records first. If
feasible, the agency should provide periodic updates to the requester of the progress of the request. Similarly, the requester should periodically
communicate with the agency and promptly answer any clarification questions. Sometimes a requester finds the records he or she is seeking at
the beginning of a request. If so, the requester should communicate with the agency that the requested records have been provided and that he
or she is canceling the remainder of the request. If the requester's cancellation communication is not in writing, the agency should confirm it in
writing.
(4) Failure to provide initial
response within five business
days. Within five
business days of receiving a request, an agency must provide
an initial response to requester.
The initial response must do one
of four things:
(a) Provide the record;
(b) Acknowledge that the agency has received the request and provide a reasonable estimate of the time it will require to fully respond;
(c) Seek a clarification of the request; or
(d) Deny the request. RCW 42.17.320/42.56.520. An agency's failure to provide an initial response is arguably a violation of the act .2
(5) No duty to create records. An agency is not obligated to create a new record to satisfy a records request' However, sometimes it is
easier for an agency to create a record responsive to the request rather than collecting and making available voluminous records that contain
small pieces of the information sought by the requester or find itself in a controversy about whether the request requires the creation of a new
record. The decision to create a new record is left to the discretion of the agency. If the agency is considering creating a new record instead of
disclosing the underlying records, it should obtain the consent of the requestor to ensure that the requester is not actually seeking the underlying
records. Making an electronic copy of an electronic record is not "creating" a new record; instead, it is similar to copying a paper copy. Similarly,
eliminating a field of an electronic record can be a method of redaction; it is similar to redacting portions of a paper record using a black pen or
white -out tape to make it available for inspection or copying.
(6) Provide a reasonable estimate of the time to fully respond. Unless it is providing the records or claiming an exemption from disclosure
within the five- business day period, an agency must provide a reasonable estimate of the time it will take to fully respond to the request. RCW
42.17.320/42.56.520. Fully responding can mean processing the request (assembling records, redacting, preparing a withholding index, or
notifying third parties named in the records who might seek an injunction against disclosure) or determining if the records are exempt from
disclosure.
An estimate must be "reasonable." The act provides a requester a quick and simple method of challenging the reasonableness of an agency's
http: // apps .leg.wa.gov /wac /default.aspx ?cite =44 -14 -04003 2/1/2013
WAC 44 -14- 04003: Responsibilities of agencies in processing requests. Page 2 of 3
estimate. RCW 42.17.340(2)/42.56.550(2). See WAC 44 -14 -08004 (5)(b). The burden of proof is on the agency to prove its estimate is
'reasonable." RCW 42.17.340(2)/42.56.550(2).
To provide a "reasonable" estimate, an agency should not use the same estimate for every request. An agency should roughly calculate the
time it will take to respond to the request and send estimates of varying lengths, as appropriate. Some very large requests can legitimately take
months or longer to fully provide. There is no standard amount of time for fulfilling a request so reasonable estimates should vary.
Some agencies send form letters with thirty -day estimates to all requestors, no matter the size or complexity of the request. Form letter thirty-
day estimates are rarely "reasonable" because an agency, which has the burden of proof, could find it difficult to prove that every single request it
receives would take the same thirty -day period.
In order to avoid unnecessary litigation over the reasonableness of an estimate, an agency should briefly explain to the requestor the basis for
the estimate in the initial response. The explanation need not be elaborate but should allow the requestor to make a threshold determination of
whether he or she should question that estimate further or has a basis to seek judicial review of the reasonableness of the estimate.
An agency should either fulfill the request within the estimated time or, if warranted, communicate with the requestor about clarifications or the
need for a revised estimate. An agency should not ignore a request and then continuously send extended estimates. Routine extensions with little
or no action to fulfill the request would show that the previous estimates probably were not "reasonable." Extended estimates are appropriate
when the circumstances have changed (such as an increase in other requests or discovering that the request will require extensive redaction). An
estimate can be revised when appropriate, but unwarranted serial extensions have the effect of denying a requestor access to public records.
(7) Seek clarification of a request or additional time. An agency may seek a clarification of an "unclear" request. RCW
42.17.320/42.56.520. An agency can only seek a clarification when the request is objectively "unclear." Seeking a "clarification" of an objectively
clear request delays access to public records.
If the requestor fails to clarify an unclear request, the agency need not respond to it further. RCW 42.17.320142.56.520. If the requestor does
not respond to the agency's request for a clarification within thirty days of the agency's request, the agency may consider the request abandoned.
If the agency considers the request abandoned, it should send a closing letter to the requestor.
An agency may take additional time to provide the records or deny the request if it is awaiting a clarification. RCW 42.17.320/42.56.520. After
providing the initial response and perhaps even beginning to assemble the records, an agency might discover it needs to clarify a request and is
allowed to do so. A clarification could also affect a reasonable estimate.
(8) Preserving requested records. If a requested record is scheduled shortly for destruction, and the agency receives a public records
request for it, the record cannot be destroyed until the request is resolved. RCW 42,17.290/42.56.100.6 Once a request has been closed, the
agency can destroy the requested records in accordance with its retention schedule.
(9) Searching for records. An agency must conduct an objectively reasonable search for responsive records. A requestor is not required to
"ferret out" records on his or her own a A reasonable agency search usually begins with the public records officer for the agency or a records
coordinator for a department of the agency deciding where the records are likely to be and who is likely to know where they are. One of the most
important parts of an adequate search is to decide how wide the search will be. If the agency is small, it might be appropriate to initially ask all
agency employees if they have responsive records. If the agency is larger, the agency may choose to initially ask only the staff of the department
or departments of an agency most likely to have the records. For example, a request for records showing or discussing payments on a public
works project might initially be directed to all staff in the finance and public works departments if those departments are deemed most likely to
have the responsive documents, even though other departments may have copies or alternative versions of the same documents. Meanwhile,
other departments that may have documents should be instructed to preserve their records in case they are later deemed to be necessary to
respond to the request. The agency could notify the requestor which departments are being surveyed for the documents so the requestor may
suggest other departments. It is better to be over inclusive rather than under inclusive when deciding which staff should be contacted, but not
everyone in an agency needs to be asked if there is no reason to believe he or she has responsive records. An e-mail to staff selected as most
likely to have responsive records is usually sufficient. Such an e-mail also allows an agency to document whom it asked for records.
Agency policies should require staff to promptly respond to inquiries about responsive records from the public records officer.
After records which are deemed responsive are located, an agency should take reasonable steps to narrow down the number of records to
those which are responsive. In some cases, an agency might find it helpful to consult with the requestor on the scope of the documents to be
assembled. An agency cannot "bury" a requestor with nonresponsive documents. However, an agency is allowed to provide arguably, but not
clearly, responsive records to allow the requestor to select the ones he or she wants, particularly if the requestor is unable or unwilling to help
narrow the scope of the documents.
(10) Expiration of reasonable estimate. An agency should provide a record within the time provided in its reasonable estimate or
communicate with the requestor that additional time is required to fulfill the request based on specified criteria. Unjustified failure to provide the
record by the expiration of the estimate is a denial of access to the record.
(11) Notice to
affected third parties.
Sometimes an agency decides it must release
all
or a part of a public record affecting a third party. The
third party can file
an action to obtain an
injunction to prevent an agency from disclosing
it,
but the third party must prove the record or portion of it
http: // apps. leg. wa. gov /wac /default,aspx ?cite =44 -14 -04003 211/2013
WAC 44 -14- 04003: Responsibilities of agencies in processing requests.

is exempt from disclosure.' RCW 42.17.330/42.56.540. Before sending a notice, an agency should have a reasonable belief that the record is
arguably exempt. Notices to affected third parties when the records could not reasonably be considered exempt might have the effect of
unreasonably delaying the requestor's access to a disclosable record.
The act provides that before releasing a record an agency may, at its "option," provide notice to a person named in a public record or to whom
the record specifically pertains (unless notice is required by law). RCW 42.17.330/42.56.540. This would include all of those whose identity could
reasonably be ascertained in the record and who might have a reason to seek to prevent the release of the record. An agency has wide
discretion to decide whom to notify or not notify. First, an agency has the "option" to notify or not (unless notice is required by law). RCW
42.17.330/42.56.540. Second, if it acted in good faith, an agency cannot be held liable for its failure to notify enough people under the act, RCW
42.17.258/42.56.060. However, if an agency had a contractual obligation to provide notice of a request but failed to do so, the agency might lose
the immunity provided by RCW 42.17.258/42.56.060 because breaching the agreement probably is not a "good faith" attempt to comply with the
act.
The practice of many agencies is to give ten days' notice. Many agencies expressly indicate the deadline date to avoid any confusion. More
notice might be appropriate in some cases, such as when numerous notices are required, but every additional day of notice is another day the
potentially disclosable record is being withheld. When it provides a notice, the agency should include the notice period in the "reasonable
estimate" it provides to a requester.
The notice informs the third party that release will occur on the stated date unless he or she obtains an order from a court enjoining release.
The requester has an interest in any legal action to prevent the disclosure of the records he or she requested. Therefore, the agency's notice
should inform the third party that he or she should name the requestor as a party to any action to enjoin disclosure. If an injunctive action is fled,
the third party or agency should name the requester as a party or, at a minimum, must inform the requester of the action to allow the requeslor to
intervene.
(12) Later discovered records. If the agency becomes aware of the existence of records responsive to a request which were not provided,
the agency should notify the requester in writing and provide a brief explanation of the circumstances.
Notes: 'See also Op. Att'y Gen. 2 (1998).
2See Smith v. Okanogan County, 100 Wn. App. 7, 13, 994 P.2d 857 (2000) ( "When an agency fails to respond as provided in RCW
42.17.320 (42.56.520), it violates the act and the individual requesting the public record is entitled to a statutory penalty. ").
3While an agency can fulfill requests out of order, an agency is not allowed to ignore a large request while it is exclusively fulfilling
smaller requests. The agency should strike a balance between fulfilling small and large requests.

RESOLUTION NO,
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON,
AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 3446 REGARDING PUBLIC RECORDS
REQUESTS
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco previously adopted the Washington State Attorney
General's advisory rules as Resolution No. 3267, and subsequently amended those rules
including the most recent amendments pursuant to Resolution No. 3446; and
WHEREAS, RCW 42.56.520 requires the City to promptly respond to all public record
requests, and further ther requires the City to make a reasonable estimate of time required to produce
public records based upon the need to clarify the intent of the request, to locate and assemble the
information requested, to notify third persons or agencies affected by the request, or to determine
whether any of the information requested is exempt and that a denial should be made as to all or
part of the request; and
WHEREAS, RCW 42.56. 100 requires the City to take the most timely action possible in
fulfilling requests and provide the fullest assistance to requestors in such a manner that prevents
excessive interference with other essential functions of the agency; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to WAC 44 -14- 04003, an agency should try to fulfill all requests
in the most efficient manner including the processing of relatively routine requests prior to the
fulfillment of much larger or complex, time consuming requests; and
WHEREAS, in recent years the City has experienced an increase in the volume of public
record requests, particularly an increase in the number of large or complex requests which
require significant staff time, research, review, clarification with requestors, notification to third
parties, and which otherwise consume a significant amount of City time and resources often
causing delays in fulfilling other routine requests and carrying out other City functions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council having considered the recommendations of staff, the
availability of City resources, the requirements of law, and the current demand for public
records, has determined that the most efficient and fair way to process public record requests on
behalf of residents and nonresidents alike and to provide the fullest assistance, is to create a two -
tier system whereby, routine requests are handled in the normal course of business in the order
they are received, and large or complex requests are handled together in the order in which they
are received. NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DOES RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1, Resolution No. 3446 is hereby amended to read as follows:
Public Records Request Resolution - Amending Resolution No. 3446 - Page t
AGENCY DESCRIPTION - CONTACT INFORMATION - PUBLIC RECORDS
OFFICER.
A) The City of Pasco is a Washington Municipal Corporation providing municipal
services. The City's central office is located at the Pasco City Hall, located at 525 North 3rd,
Pasco, WA.
B) Any person wishing to request access to public records or seeking assistance in
making a request should contact the City's Public Records Officer. The City Clerk has been
designated by the City Manager as the City's Public Records Officer pursuant to RCW
42.56.580. While the public records officer may offer help and guidance relating to any public
records request, requests for police records and municipal court records should be directed to the
designated records officer within those departments at the contact information listed below.

access
to records.
Many records are
also available on the City's
web site at www.pasco- wa.gov. Requestors are
encouraged to view
the documents available on
the website prior to submitting
a public records request.
C) The public records officer will oversee compliance with the act but another City
staff member may process a request. Therefore, these rules will refer to the public records
officer "or designee." The public records officer or designee and the City will provide the
"fullest assistance" to requestors; ensure that public records are protected from damage or
disorganization; and prevent fulfilling public records requests from causing excessive
interference with essential functions of the City.
Section 2. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC RECORDS.
A) Hours for inspection of records. Public records are available for inspection and
copying during normal business hours of the City, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m., excluding legal holidays. Records must be inspected at the office of the City Clerk at City
Hall. The City's Police Department hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m, to 5:00 p.m,
excluding legal holidays. The Municipal Court hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to
12:30 p.m., and 1:3012.m. to 4:00 p.m., excluding legal holidays.
B) Records Index.
The City finds that maintaining an index is unduly burdensome and would interfere with
City operations. The requirement would unduly burden or interfere with City operations in the
following ways:
1) Given the number of different departments /divisions in the City, the
maintenance of a single index is impractical; and
2) Due to activity levels in the City, the type and number of records is
constantly changing.
C) Organization of records. The City will maintain its records in a reasonably
organized manner. The City will take reasonable actions to protect records from damage and
disorganization. A requestor shall not take City records from City offices, or that location
designated for the inspection of public records, without the permission of the public records
officer or designee. A variety of records are available on the City's web site at www.pasco-
wa.gov. Requestors are encouraged to view the documents available on the web site prior to
submitting a records request.
D) Making a request for public records.
1) Any person wishing to inspect or copy public records of the City should
make the request in writing on the City's request form, or by letter, fax, or e-mail
addressed to the public records officer and including the following information:
Public Records Request Resolution - Amending Resolution No. 3446 - Page 3
a) Name of requestor;
b) Address of requestor;
C) Other contact information, including telephone number and /or e-
mail address;
d) Identification of the public records adequate for the public records
officer or designee to locate the records; and
e) The date, and if presented at City Hall, the time of day of the
request.
2) If the requestor wishes to have copies of the records made instead of
simply inspecting them, he or she should so indicate and make arrangements to pay for
copies of the records or a deposit. Standard photocopies will be provided at 15 cents
(15¢) per page.
3) A form is available for use by requestor at the office of the public records
officer and online at www.pasco - wa.gov.
4) The public records officer or designee may accept requests for public
records that contain the above information by telephone, facsimile, email, or in person. If
the public records officer or designee accepts such a request, he or she will confirm
receipt of the information and the substance of the request in writing.
5) In the event the records requested in any department are readily available,
of a routine nature, and do not involve the interest of any other person, the public records
officer or the department head may authorize the immediate inspection and /or copying of
such record without the necessity of filing the request as provided in subsection (1)
above.
Section 3. PROCESSING OF PUBLIC RECORDS REQUEST - GENERAL.
A) Providing "fullest assistance." The City is charged by statute with adopting rules
which provide how it will "provide full access to public records," "protect records from damage
or disorganization," "prevent excessive interference with other essential functions of the City,"
provide "fullest assistance" to requestors, and provide the "most timely possible action" on
public records requests. The public records officer or designee will process requests in the order
allowing the most requests to be processed in the most efficient manner.

Public Records Request Resolution - Amending Resolution No. 3446 - Page 4
The public records officer or designee shall develop a reasonable method of
identifying large or complex requests, which method may be amended from time to time
as the demand for records and the availability of resources change The public records
officer or designee shall document the basis for determining whether a request is a
routine request or is a large or complex request. In making this determination the public
records officer or designee should consider relevant factors including but not limited to:
(1) the general, expansive or all inclusive nature of the request; (2) the number of
departments involved; (3) the location of records and available method of searching
records• (4) the potential number of records implicated• (5 ) the rights of third parties (6)
the need for clarification of the request; (7) administrative tasks necessary to process the
request; (8) the amount of time needed to review documents for applicable exemptions;
(9) the need for legal review of the public records request and (10) the format of relevant
records.
All requests not otherwise identified as large or complex shall be considered
routine requests and will be handled in the normal course of business consistent with
these policies and without undue delay caused by the processing of large or complex
requests.

D) Protecting rights of others. In the event that the requested records contain
information that may affect rights of others and may be exempt from disclosure, the public
records officer may, prior to providing the records, give notice to such others whose rights may
be affected by the disclosure. Such notice should be given so as to make it possible for those
other persons to contact the requestor and ask him or her to revise the request, or, if necessary,
seek an order from a court to prevent or limit the disclosure. The notice to the affected persons
will include a copy of the request.
E) Records exempt from disclosure. Some records are exempt from disclosure, in
whole or in part. If the City believes that a record is exempt from disclosure and should be
withheld, the public records officer will state the specific exemption and provide a brief
explanation of why the record or a portion of the record is being withheld. If only a portion of a
record is exempt from disclosure, but the remainder is not exempt, the public records officer will
redact the exempt portions, provide the nonexempt portions, and indicate to the requestor why
portions of the record are being redacted.
F) Privilege Log. If the City determines that a record is exempt and should be
withheld, the City will maintain a privilege log of those withheld records. The privilege log will
identify:
1) Type of record withheld.
2) Date of record.
3) Number of pages.
4) Author or recipient.
5) The exemption invoked.
A copy of the privilege log will be produced to the records requestor.
G) Inspection of records.
1) Consistent with other demands, the City shall promptly provide a location
to inspect public records. No member of the public may remove a document from the
viewing area or disassemble or alter any documents. The requestor shall indicate which
documents, if any, he or she wishes the City to copy.
2) The requestor must claim or review the assembled records within thirty
(30) days of the City's notification to him or her that the records are available for
inspection or copying. The City will notify the requestor in writing of this requirement
and inform the requestor that he or she should contact the City to make arrangements to
claim or review the records. If the requestor or a representative of the requestor fails to
claim or review the records within the thirty -day period or make other arrangements, the
City may close the request and refile the assembled records. Other public records

requests can be processed ahead of a subsequent request by the same person for the same
or almost identical records, which can be processed as a new request.

After inspection is
complete, the public records
officer or designee shall
make any requested
copies or arrange for

I) Providing records in installments. When the request is for a large number of
records, the public records officer or designee will provide access for inspection and copying in
installments, if he or she reasonably determines that it would be practical to provide the records
in that way. If, within thirty (30) days, the requestor fails to inspect the entire set of records or
one or more of the installments, the public records officer or designee may stop searching for the
remaining records and close the request.
J) Completion of inspection. When the inspection of the requested records is
complete and all requested copies are provided, the public records officer or designee will
indicate that the City has completed a diligent search for the requested records and made any
located nonexempt records available for inspection.
K) Closing withdrawn or abandoned request. When the requestor either withdraws
the request or fails to fulfill his or her obligations to inspect the records or pay the deposit or
final payment for the requested copies, the public records officer will close the request and
indicate to the requestor that the City has closed the request.
L) Later discovered documents. If, after the City has informed the requestor that it
has provided all available records, the City becomes aware of additional responsive documents
existing at the time of the request, it will promptly inform the requestor of the additional
documents and provide them on an expedited basis.
Section 4. EXEMPTIONS.
A) The Public Records Act provides that a number of types of documents are exempt
from public inspection and copying. In addition, documents are exempt from disclosure if any
"other statute" exempts or prohibits disclosure. Requestors should be aware of other
exemptions, outside the Public Records Act, that restrict the availability of some documents held
by the City for inspection and copying. A list of such laws is available at the office of the City
Clerk and may be available at the City's website.
B) The City is prohibited by statute from disclosing lists of individuals for
commercial purposes.

Marine Center and authorize staff to forward the document to
USACE for final review.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Revenue for 2012 - $14,400
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) In 2012 City Council authorized staff to issue an RFP for a Boat Basin Marina
Operator. The City, in conjunction with the Port of Pasco and Tri-Cities Rivershore
Enhancement Council, completed two separate plans to identify and recommend
improvements to the Pasco Boat Basin as well as other areas along the rivershore.
These improvements were a major focus in the RFP as the City moves forward in its
efforts to improve the public's connection to the river.
B) We received one proposal that fit the City's goal to improve the operation of the Boat
Basin and Council approved an Interim Agreement on December 15, 2012 with
Columbia Marine Center.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The City has obtained additional covered docks that were acquired from Clover
Island Yacht Club, as well as the permit to install the docks at the boat basin. These
docks have been secured with pilings and Columbia Marine Center continues to make
much needed improvement to the facility such as painting the building, cleanup of old
docks and repairs to the existing covered docks as well as the east long dock. Storm
damage has been cleaned up along with the parking lots and fence repair.
B) The terms of the new lease are for an initial 10 year period with two (2) additional
renewals periods available as long as the terms of the lease are being followed. Future
capital improvements include installation of additional docks, if permitted by the
USACE. The operation of the manna will include moorage rental, boat repair,
boating supplies and a vending area for snacks and drinks.
C) Staff has now completed negotiations for a long term lease with Columbia Marine
Center. The agreement must also be approved by the USACE and staff would like
Council approval before sending it to the USACE.

protect Columbia and its
employees under the Workers'

contractor. If City at any time is compelled or elects to pay or incur any cost or expense
(including, but limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees) by reason of Columbia's default, Columbia
shall, upon demand, pay to City as additional rental the amount of such costs and expenses,
together with interest at the maximum rate set forth in this Sublease from and after the date paid
or incurred.
Boat Basin Sublease Agreement - 11
14.3 City's Default. In the event City fails to perform any covenant, condition, or
agreement contained in this Sublease within thirty (30) days after written notice from Columbia
specifying such default or, where City's default cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30)
days and City fails to commence to cure within that period, then City shall be liable to Columbia

1. Memo from Rick Terway dated January 29, 2013
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
2/11: Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Both Kurtzman and Richardson pools have exceeded their life expectancy. The pools
were originally built in the late 60's and mechanical/building renovations took place
in the 80's.
B) Water Technology Inc. (WTI) was retained to study the two pools and has determined
that they in fact have met their useful life and then some.
C) In October, the Park and Recreation Advisory Board held two neighborhood meetings
to get public input on the future of Kurtzman and Richardson Pools. At the November
meeting the board voted to support replacing the pools with spray parks on a City
wide basis, based on fund availability and at the January 14th workshop meeting
Council concurred.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) After an in depth review of spray park requirements, it was learned the health
department requires a full service restroom be located at the park in the vicinity of the
spray park. This will add a minimum of $100,000 construction cost to each spray
park project plus around $10,000 annually for operation and maintenance.
B) Since 2000, the City has had a policy not to place flush restrooms in neighborhood
parks due to the cost and potential vandalism. Selecting parks to locate spray parks
will be more difficult with this requirement. Therefore, the Park Board recommends
the following:
• Kurtzman Park has a small restroom located next to the current pool. This will
allow us to move forward with this project in 2013 as planned.
• The second spray park in the CIP budget for 2014 should be located on the west
end of the City, due to the fact that Memorial Pool is only a short distance from
Richardson Park, and located in the east half of the City.
• Currently, the City is looking for a site for a community park to be located north
of 1 -182 in the northwest quadrant of the city. This would have a full service
restroom due to the capacity of the park and its features. This would be the
logical park to add a spray park facility for the west side of the City.
• Beyond these two spray parks, with the possible development of an aquatic
facility in the near future we should wait and evaluate the need once this project
has been completed.
C) Staff requests Council's concurrence in the Park Board's recommendations.

Memorandum

Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
From: Park and Recreation Adv y Board
Rick Terway, Director A
Subject: Spray Parks
After an in depth review of spray park requirements, it was learned the health department
requires a full service restroom be located at the park in the vicinity of the spray park. This will
add a minimum of $100,000 construction cost to each spray park project plus around $10,000
for operation and maintenance annually.
The City does not place flush restrooms in neighborhood parks due to the cost and potential
vandalism. This policy has been in place since 2000. Selecting parks to locate spray parks will
be more difficult with this requirement. Therefore, I would suggest the following:
1. Kurtzman Park has a small restroom located next to the current pool. This will allow us
to move forward with this project in 2013 as planned.
2. The second spray park in the CIP budget for 2014 should be located on the west end of
the City, due to the fact that Memorial Pool is only a short distance from Richardson
Park, and located in the east half of the City.
3. Currently, the City is looking for a site for a community park to be located north of 1 -182
in the northwest quadrant of the city. This would have a full service restroom due to
the capacity of the park and its features. This would be the logical park to add a spray
park facility for the west side of the City.
4. Beyond these two spray parks, with the possible development of an aquatic facility in
the near future we should wait and evaluate the need once this project has been
completed.
As we have
discussed in
the past,
budgets are tight and the requirements are becoming more
stringent as
more spray
parks are
added to
park systems throughout the state.
At the February 7, 2013 meeting of the Park and Recreation Advisory Board, locations and cost
of spray parks were discussed and a motion was made by Edmon Daniels, seconded by Duane
Taber, to support the content of the this memorandum. The motion carried unanimously.

2/11: Discussion
2/19: MOTION: I move to approve the Professional Services Agreement with CES
authorizing professional services with respect to Project
Management of the Process Water Treatment System
Optimization project in the amount of $75,000, 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 farm circles
for treatment and reuse. Without additional land or other changes, 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 bid
was awarded on February 4, 2013.
C) The optimization includes a number of Capital Improvement and the addition of
infrastructures that need to be managed as a system.
D) Staff employed the services of CES to design Phase III of the improvements as
outlined in the optimization study. Council approved the professional services
agreement on 2/4/2013.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Staff proposes to complete management of the system that will include the following
objectives:
1. Improve monitoring, management, and irrigation of the land treatment fields.
2. Design and implement a data management system.
The following tasks are part of the proposed professional services:
Task 1 — Soil Moisture Monitoring
Task 2 — Crop Rotation Design and Harvest Management
Task 3 — Land Treatment System Operation and Management Manual
Task 4 — Irrigation System Improvements
Task 5 — Solids Management Plan

SUBJECT: Proposal/Scope of Work for the Process Water Treatment System Optimization
and Capital Improvement Plan - System Management Improvements and Data
Management System
Dear Mr. Qayoumi:
Cascade Earth Sciences (CES) is pleased to submit this proposal for the System Management
Improvements and Data Management System associated with 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 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 management and
operational improvements and making several capital improvements.
CES developed a Process Water Treatment System Optimization and Capital Improvement Plan
consisting of four phases to implement these strategies and increase agronomic capacity.
• Phase 1 improvements include fine screening and implementation of improved field
monitoring and management.
• Phase 2 improvements include sediment removal and surface (skim) removal of fats, oil,
and grease (FOG).

• Phase 3 includes the construction of an Advanced Facultative Pond (AFP) to provide
further biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) reduction and additional storage capacity.
• Further increases in system capacity will come from expanding the total land base,
which is considered Phase 4.
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. Also
scheduled for 2013 is the Phase 1 implementation of improved field monitoring and
management. This includes the System Management Improvements and the Data Management
System. 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 and operational 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 System Management Improvement and Data Management System 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. Improve monitoring, management, and 'irrigation of the land treatment fields
2. Design and implement a data management system
Scope of Work
This scope of work has been prepared to optimize the existing system by improving the
monitoring, management, and irrigation of the land treatment fields.
Task 1 Soil Moisture Monitoring
CES will evaluate, recommend, and help the City with the correct soil moisture monitoring
system, monitoring location in each field, monitoring frequency, data outputs, and data use.
Task 2 Crop Rotation Design and Harvest Management
CES will work with the farmer co- operators to improve crop rotations and harvest timing
favorable for increasing biomass production and process water application. CES will help the
City to be more involved in farmer harvest schedules and initiate incentives for proper
operation and information from the farmer co- operators.

Task 3 Land Treatment System Operation and Management Manual
CES will design and implement a Land Treatment System Operation and Management Manual
that explains specifically how to operate the land treatment fields. It will prescribe the
monitoring and operating protocols in a way that the operators can use to properly operate the
site. It will describe the soil moisture monitoring; the soil, water, and tissue monitoring; crop
rotation and harvest control; irrigation uniformity and rate; and all other day to day operational
aspects to achieve maximize system capacity.
Task 4 Irrigation System Improvements
CES will consult with Valmont Northwest to inspect and recommend pivot upgrades as
needed. Of the 14 existing irrigation pivots, one pivot needs to have its sprinkler assembly
completely reviewed and upgraded. In addition, an estimated 10 pivots have nozzle, regulator,
and end gun issues due to the amount of sand and silt pumped through them in recent years.
Task 5 Solids Management Plan
CES will prepare a solids management plan for submittal to the Washington State Department
of Ecology (Ecology) for approval of a pilot project to land apply the silts and other fine
materials (solids) that will settle out in the sedimentation basins constructed as part of Phase 2.
This plan is necessary before the solids can be land applied.
Task 6 Data Management System
CES will design and implement a data management system specific to process water reuse that
will provide the operators and farmer co- operators with near real -time field -by -field nitrogen
balances, hydraulic and nutrient loadings by field by day, and system management reports on-
demand using the Water Sentinel®. It will track all important monitoring results such as
process and fresh water flow, process and fresh water flow - weighted quality, soil nutrient
levels, soil moisture, crop yield, crop tissue tests, etc. As part of this task, CES will provide
training to the City and City - authorized personnel on how to use the Water Sentinel and
includes the first year of annual maintenance.
Task 7 Project Management
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.
Deliverables:
CES will meet with the City and farmer co- operators to gain the necessary information for Tasks
1 and 2. The information gained from these meetings will be used to develop the Task 1 and 2
outcomes. The appropriate operational instructions will be submitted to the City via email,
technical memorandum, or in in- person meetings. This information will also be used, in part,
Mr. Ahmad Qayoumi - City of Pasco US
Water Treatment System Optimization and Improvement Plan
System Management Improvement and Data Management System
January 29, 2013
Page 4
for Land Treatment System Operation and Management Manual developed in Task 3. CES will
subsequently deliver the Manual for City review and approval/ modification. CES will work
with the City to track the irrigation pivots upgrades as they are approved by the City and
completed by Valmont Northwest.
CES will submit the Solids Management Plan to Ecology (Ecology) for their review and
approval. We will also respond and address Ecology comments regarding the plan. Ecology
invited the City to submit such a plan during the City's project kickoff meeting with Ecology in
early 2012. If Ecology is not favorable or does not approve the plan, the City will need to
explore alternative solids management options. Any such option could cost more than the land
application option.
CES will launch the data management system online with secure access for City approved
personnel to begin managing the land treatment fields as described above. CES will also
provide training and 3 hardcopies of a user manual to the City and City - authorized personnel
on the use of the Water Sentinel.
Project Cost
Total Cost: $75,000.00
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.
Schedule
CES is prepared to begin work immediately upon authorization. The target date for completion
of the System management improvement and data management system is late- summer 2013.
Another schedule will be developed, if requested by the City.
Quality
CES is committed to providing quality products and services that consistently meet or exceed
our clients' expectations.
Safety
CES is committed to its safety mission: "A passion for world -class safety: excellence in
execution, employee commitment, innovation, exceptional communications... globally." CES
employees will apply the principles of this mission to ensure that safety is a priority for the
duration of the project and for everyone involved in its completion.
Compensation
The attached cost estimate is not a lump sum. Total estimated costs are based on available
information used to develop the scope of work and are a "good faith" estimate of charges that
will not be exceeded without additional authorization by the City. Actual billings will be based

TO: Gary Crutchfield, 4'anager Workshop Mtg.: 2/11/13
Regular Mtg.: 2/19/13
FROM: Bob Metzger, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Interagency Agreement for School Resource Officer Services
I. REFERENCE:
A. Proposed Interagency Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
2/11: Discussion
2/19: MOTION: I move to approve the two -year Interagency Agreement with the
Pasco School District for school resource officer services and, further, authorize the
Mayor to sign the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
2012 — 2013 City Funds: $272,736, for 4 school officers
2013 — 2014 Pasco School District Funds: $277,344, for 4 school officers.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) School Resource Officers (SRO) are full -time uniformed police officers primarily
dedicated to providing law enforcement resource services to assigned schools and
surrounding neighborhoods. SRO's are assigned to work at their assigned school for
eight hours each scheduled school day. SRO's are assigned to work normal patrol
duties when school is not in session.
B) The Interagency Agreement between Pasco School District and the City of Pasco
provides four SRO's (one SRO per school) at Stevens Middle School, Ochoa Middle
School, Pasco High School, and Chiawana High School.
C) The proposed Interagency Agreement is a two -year agreement effective August 2012
through June 2014. The School District will reimburse the City for the salary and
fringe benefits costs for four (4) officers at the top salary level for police officer for
180 school days per year (8 hours per school day).
D) It is understood by both parties that negotiations will be done in 2013 for a successor
Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City of Pasco and the Pasco Police
Officer's Association. The current agreement expires 1/2014. A settlement of that
contract will likely include an increased wage provision. Any increase in the wage
rates or fringe benefit costs for the officers in the successor agreement would require
an adjustment of the reimbursement costs paid by the School District for services in
2013 and 2014, including retroactive payments.

purchased in 1992 that is now technologically obsolete. The new value is $3,500
and estimated disposal value is over $500. This item will be disposed of by
auction consignment for a price that is in the best interest of the city.
B) The second item is a Star Dock which was acquired as part of the property
remaining at the Pasco Boat Basin when Cascade Marina vacated the property.
This dock was located where the new 30 slip dock is now positioned. The Star
Dock was dismantled and 40% of it will be reused to facilitate access to the newly
installed covered moorage and the remaining dock part could exceed $500 in
salvage value. The current lessee will transport the dock to the salvage yard.
C) Staff recommends approval of the proposed Resolution.

2/19: MOTION: I move to authorize the City Manager to provide written "Notice to
Proceed" for the purchase of real property from Old Standard Life
Insurance Company, in Liquidation; and to convert the Earnest
Money Note ($60,000) to cash.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Earnest Money /Deposit of $60,000; Economic Development Fund
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Council approved execution of the purchase agreement with Old Standard Life
Insurance Company for the property to accommodate the proposed regional
aquatics facility in November. The agreement provides that the City, after a 90-
day due diligence period (expiring February 24) must issue a notice to proceed
and convert the $60,000 earnest money note to cash (the City has until January
31, 2014 to complete closing); failure to do so will terminate the purchase
agreement.
B) In January, the Tri- Cities Regional Public Facilities District (TCRPFD) confirmed
the aquatics facility as the project it will submit for voter approval, with the
subject property as the preferred site. The TCRPFD is in the process of refining
the plan for the aquatics facility and determining whether to place the sales tax
issue on the August (primary) or November (general) election ballot.
C) The City has completed a Phase I Environmental Review (with no resulting issues
identified), and is in the process of completing its review of documents affecting
the title to the property. (At this writing, staff is waiting to complete resolution of
some questions regarding the restrictive covenants and the Architectural Review
Committee established by the covenants.) Staff is confident that the final
questions can be addressed and resolved prior to the expiration of the due
diligence time period.
D) The properties in the Broadmoor area (including the subject) are covered by
covenants and assessments for common area landscape (along Sandifur Parkway)
maintenance. The annual assessment for the property (28 acres) is about $18,000,
which would not have to be assumed until closing.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Staff recommends Council authorize the City Manager to issue the notice to
proceed.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
2/11: Consensus on Redistricting Plan and Set Public Hearing
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Following discussion with Council at the workshop meeting of January 28, staff has attempted
to identify 5- District plans which avoid displacement (even if at the end of their term) of
incumbents from their current districts and meet the "less than 10% difference" rule of the
PMC. Two options are identified as the attached 5- District options CX and CY (Reference #5
and #6). While the two options meet the above measurable criteria, staff suggests that
questions could easily be raised as to whether they would meet the requirements of RCW
29A.76.010(4) (Reference #10).
B) As presented on 1/28/13, there can be other 5- District configurations which meet the legal tests
but each would result in the displacement of at least one incumbent (Options 5A, 5B;
References #3 and #4).
C) As discussed at the prior workshop, the 3- District option can more easily satisfy state and city
requirements and will require less maintenance over time, as larger district populations equate
to larger allowable differences. The 3- District concept assumes two seats in each district with
staggered terms in each district; thus, one seat in each district is open in each municipal
election. With six Councilmembers in district seats, the seventh member must be an "at- large"
position. As the Council currently has two at -large positions, moving to the 3- District option
requires one of the at -large positions to be eliminated at the end of its term.
D) Since the effect of the 3- District option is no greater than that which is likely necessary to
implement a rational 5- District option, and it clearly offers better long -term stability for districts
in the future, staff is inclined to recommend this option. Option 3 -C (Reference #9) appears to
provide the most logical division into new districts under this option.
E) The Franklin County Auditor has recently requested that all taxing districts with elections
during the coming year finalize any district boundaries by March 1. Staff has requested a delay
to mid - March, however, clearly Council must act soon.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Staff requests that Council arrive at consensus on its preferred plan at the workshop meeting,
which will allow adequate notice of a public hearing on February 25 or March 4; with a final
decision to be made at the conclusion of the hearing or the following week. 4(k)

RCW 29A.76.010: Counties, municipal corporations, and special purpose districts.
RCW 29A.76.010
Counties, municipal corporations, and special purpose districts.
Page 1 of 1
(1) It is the responsibility of each county, municipal corporation, and special purpose district with a governing body comprised of internal director,
council, or commissioner districts not based on statutorily required land ownership criteria to periodically redistrict its governmental unit, based on
population information from the most recent federal decennial census.
(2) Within forty -five days after receipt of federal decennial census information applicable to a specific local area, the commission established in
RCW 44.05.030 shall forward the census information to each municipal corporation, county, and district charged with redistricting under this
section.
(3) No later than eight months after its receipt of federal decennial census data, the governing body of the municipal corporation, county, or
district shall prepare a plan for redistricting its internal or director districts.
(4) The plan shall be consistent with the following criteria:
(a) Each internal director, council, or commissioner district shall be as nearly equal in population as possible to each and every other such
district comprising the municipal corporation, county, or special purpose district.
(b) Each district shall be as compact as possible.
(c) Each district shall consist of geographically contiguous area.
(d) Population data may not be used for purposes of favoring or disfavoring any racial group or political party.
(e) To the extent feasible and if not inconsistent with the basic enabling legislation for the municipal corporation, county, or district, the district
boundaries shall coincide with existing recognized natural boundaries and shall, to the extent possible, preserve existing communities of related
and mutual interest.
(5) During the adoption of its plan, the municipal corporation, county, or district shall ensure that full and reasonable public notice of its actions
is provided. The municipal corporation, county, or district shall hold at least one public hearing on the redistricting plan at least one week before
adoption of the plan.
(6)(a) Any registered voter residing in an area affected by the redistricting plan may request review of the adopted local plan by the superior
;ourt of the county in which he or she resides, within fifteen days of the plan's adoption. Any request for review must specify the reason or
reasons alleged why the local plan is not consistent with the applicable redistricting criteria. The municipal corporation, county, or district may be
oined as respondent. The superior court shall thereupon review the challenged plan for compliance with the applicable redistricting criteria set
out in subsection (4) of this section.
(b) If the superior court finds the plan to be consistent with the requirements of this section, the plan shall take effect immediately.
(c) If the superior court determines the plan does not meet the requirements of this section, in whole or in part, it shall remand the plan for
further or corrective action within a specified and reasonable time period.
(d) If the superior court finds that any request for review is frivolous or has been filed solely for purposes of harassment or delay, it may
mpose appropriate sanctions on the party requesting review, including payment of attorneys' fees and costs to the respondent municipal
;orporation, county, or district.

SUBJECT: Agreement forAdministrative Services to Pasco PFD
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Proposed Agreement
February 4, 2013
Workshop Mtg.: 2/11/13
Regular Mtg.: 2/19/13
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
2/11: Discussion
2/19: MOTION: I move to approve the interlocal agreement with the Pasco Public
Facilities District for administrative services and, further, authorize
the Mayor to sign the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Increased General Fund Revenue approximately $5,000 annually
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The city created the Pasco Public Facilities District (PFD) in 2003 in order to
implement the authority granted by the state in 2002 for the creation of Public
Facilities Districts throughout the state. The state authority included a certain
portion of state sales tax to be distributed to each public facility district with a
qualifying project in place by 2004. Pasco PFD, upon creation by the city, entered
into an agreement with Kennewick PFD to allocate 100% of Pasco's share of the
state sales tax be contributed to the Three Rivers Convention Center being
developed by the Kennewick PFD.
B) Creation of the Pasco PFD required its operation and fulfillment of basic
administrative responsibilities. The city and PFD entered into an agreement in
2003 by which those services would be provided by the city in exchange for
payment of $600 monthly.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Over the past 10 years, the extent of administrative services was fairly minimal
(quarterly meetings and an annual report as well as accounting for the receipt and
distribution of the sales tax money from the state and to the Kennewick PFD).
Over the past year, with the growing interest in possible development of a regional
aquatic center, the Pasco PFD administrative services have increased. The
proposed agreement reflects the current level of activity and has been approved by
the Pasco PFD Board. Should the Pasco PFD become involved directly with the
operation of a regional aquatics center (assuming voter approval), the
administrative costs are likely to increase; if so, a new interlocal agreement will
be developed for future presentation to Council.
B) Staff recommends approval of the proposed agreement.
