H. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL /STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
5/28: DISCUSSION:
6/3: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. amending Title 5 of the Pasco
Municipal Code pertaining to the business license transfer fee and
further, authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
MINIMAL
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. Licensed businesses relocating from one location to another within Pasco must transfer their
existing business license to their new location.
B. In order to transfer the license to a new location, PMC 5.04.080 requires the business to pay
the City a transfer fee of $37.00.
C. The fee is
charged to cover the cost
of a site inspection for building
and fire safety
compliance
at the new location.
D. In the event of a business transferring to a new location that has received a building permit for
new construction, remodeling or expansion, those building and fire inspections are conducted
during the inspection process associated with that construction or remodeling.
E. In those cases, the building and fire safety inspections conducted with the business relocation
are not necessary.
F. As it is important to support efforts of Pasco businesses to grow and remain in Pasco by
building new facilities or remodeling, staff suggests an exception to the license transfer fee
for existing Pasco businesses that move to locations that have been inspected and approved
for occupancy during permitted construction projects.
V. DISCUSSION
G. While the number of businesses the proposed amendment may affect is small, staff believes it
will be well received and seen by existing commercial and industrial businesses as both a
reduction of "paperwork" and a measure of support from the City.

6/03: MOTION: I move to approve the Interagency Agreement with the Pasco School
District for summer school services and, further, authorize the Mayor to sign the

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Pasco School District Funds - $ 15,629
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. The School District has requested an extension of the
SRO services for the 2010 Summer School at Pasco High School. Normally, SRO
services are not provided during summer months. The School District has summer
school programs at Pasco High School, Chiawana High School, and New Horizons
High School. As a proactive measure, the School District has requested SRO services
for up to eight hours each day of summer school. There are 24 summer school days
from June 101h to July 13th at Chiawana, and June 17th to July 12`h as Pasco High.
SRO's are assigned to work normal patrol duties when school is not in session.
B) The proposed Interagency Agreement is effective June through July 2013, and
provides two School Resource Officers for the 2013 Summer School. The School
District will reimburse the City for the salary and fringe benefits costs for two officers
during 24 days of summer school. The School District presented the proposed
Agreement to the School Board in May 2013. The School Board approved the
Agreement and payment for the services. The City Council's approval of the
Agreement is all that is required for the Police Department to proceed on schedule.

None
HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) When the TRAC facility was jointly financed by the city and county (1994), the
joint agreement provided for creation of a "TRAC Advisory Board." The Board
was created to provide a forum to monitor the operation of the facility and advise
the County Commission (as owner) of any recommendations to improve the
facility and/or its operation.
B) The Board is composed of three members appointed by the County Commission
and three members appointed by the City Council; the six appointed members
jointly select a seventh member, who must be a citizen of the county. The city
appointees have included two Councilmembers along with a citizen of Pasco.
DISCUSSION:
A) Presently, the city has two designated representatives; Councilmembers Francik
and Yenney. The third city representative (Leonard Dietrich) resigned in 2009,
after serving for 10 years; that position has not been formally filled.
B) Staff recommends the third city position on the TRAC Advisory Board be filled
by designation of another Councilmember or the City Manager.
