IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. The City owns and operates two separate water systems; one for domestic use and
one for irrigation use. These systems are supplied by surface and ground water and
include a surface water intake from the Columbia River, a system of 10 wells, with
associated pumping and treatment equipment.
B. The irrigation system has grown to include ten well sites, one river pump station, and
a three million gallon standpipe, and now serves over 5,400 residential customers. In
addition to the residential water users, the system also supplies irrigation for a soccer
complex, five residential parks, two schools, and numerous landscaping areas
maintained by the City. Service is provided from April through October.
C. For the domestic system, the City owns 7,849 acre feet of water rights and another
1,810 under the Quad Cities Water Rights Permit. The City typically utilizes 13,400
acre -feet of water annually. Ecology has committed to provide additional 4,500 acre
feet of water right through the Quad Cities Water Rights Permit, but that amount
provides limited growth potential. The goal of the study is to determine how to best
utilize limited water rights to meet future needs.
D. On May 20, 2013 City Council approved a professional services agreement with
MSA (Murray Smith & Associates) to complete an evaluation of the City's current
water rights, current and future needs and policy recommendations to help the City
better manage its water resources.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. The consultant will provide a brief presentation to update the Council on the draft
findings and recommendation of the plans. The study's scope included evaluation of
the domestic and irrigation systems in their current and future cases and includes:
1. System Capacity: for both the domestic and irrigation systems.
2. Water Conservation: recommendations on conservation rate structures,
implementation of landscaping codes, programmatic citizen conservation
4.
5.
R1
programs, etc.
Provision of Service: best practice recommendations for
outside City limits.
Capital Growth: a preliminary program timeline and costs.
Well Assessment and Rehabilitation: the existing irrigation
replacement and rehabilitation strategy
provision of water
wells, as well as a
Hydraulic System Modeling: identification of system
deficiencies;
determination of the adequacy of the system's storage capacity; analysis of
corrective improvements; and identifying potential for future system expansion.
B. Following general discussion at the workshop, the consultant will prepare final
recommendations for Council consideration in early 2014.

NONE
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. In December of 2011 the City Council approved a Joint Development Agreement
between the city, Tri- Cities Prep and Tapteal II, LLC for the development of a
new street connecting St Thomas Drive with Chapel Hill Boulevard. The new
street was needed to avoid safety conflicts and inadequate stacking on Broadmoor
Boulevard in the vicinity of Saint Thomas Drive.
B. On September 3, 2013 the Council accepted the name of Saint Francis Lane for
the new street. Since that time street signs have been installed and all other
construction has been completed. To finalize obligations under the Joint
Development Agreement Tapteal II, LLC is required to deed Saint Francis Lane
to the city for a public street. A copy of the Tapteal II, LLC deed is attached under
Reference 2.
C. The Council previously accepted the name of Saint Francis for the street but, now
that a deed has been provided dedicating the street to the public the Council can
officially name it through the adoption of an ordinance. Streets that are not named
as part of the platting process are officially named by ordinance. The proposed
ordinance attached under Reference 3 will officially establish the street name.

SUBJECT: Community Survey Policy Questions
I. REFERENCE(S):
Community Survey Questions from Prior Years
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
11/25: Reach consensus, provide approval of final questions
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Note: Following Council review of proposed questions at the meetings of November 12
and November 18, staff has developed the final questions for consideration by Council,
as indicated below.
A) The City is contracting again with the National Research Center (NRC) to
conduct the National Citizens Survey, a biennial community survey consisting
primarily of standard questions regarding the availability and quality of municipal
services. Additionally, the City may include up to three "policy" issues to be
included as questions in the survey.
B) The City has contracted for the survey to. be completed in odd years since 2005.
In each case, policy questions were asked. Attachment 1 includes the questions
asked in prior survey rounds.
C) The City will have to provide NRC with draft policy questions /topics by late
November in order to have them included in the survey this fall. The completed
survey will provide policy guidance to the City Council in preparation for its
biennial retreat in spring 2014.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff offers the following for Council consideration:
Ambulance Service to Fire District:
The donut hole (surrounded by Pasco) has received ambulance service from the
Pasco Fire Department under a contract with Fire District #3, whereby the District
has paid a small annual fee, but donut hole residents do not pay the same monthly
ambulance utility fee ($6.25 /month) that is paid by Pasco residents. If the city
continues to provide the same paramedic ambulance service to Fire District #3
that it provides to city residents, to what extent do you agree or disagree that the
contract should require the District to pay an annual fee based on the same
monthly ambulance fee paid by Pasco residents.
a)
Strongly Agree
b)
Agree
c)
Disagree
d)
Strongly Disagree
4(c)
Pasco Public Facility District
In August of 2013, Tri-City voters rejected a one -tenth of one -cent sales tax to
construct and operate a regional aquatic facility, which was planned to be located
in Pasco. Though the measure was approved by Pasco voters, Kennewick and
Richland voters did not approve it. The Regional Public Facilities District,
because it includes all three cities, could finance a project of at least $35 million;
the Pasco Public Facilities District, because it includes only Pasco, could finance
a project of about $10 million. Do you feel that the City should:
a) Continue to participate with the Regional Public Facilities District to try to
identify a large project that can be approved by the voters of the three
cities?
b) Try to work with its own resources and the Pasco Public Facilities District
to identify a small project for Pasco?
c) Abandon efforts to consider future facilities?
Senior Center
When the Pasco Senior Center was built, more than 30 years ago, the facility was
well used by a significant segment of the "senior" residents. Though the City
population has tripled since that time, use of the facility by seniors has declined
substantially where center operations now require a growing annual subsidy of
$240,000 for a particular population which uses the facility at a declining rate.
Regarding the future use of the Senior Center, to what extent do you agree or
disagree that the City should transition the facility into a "community recreation
center" thereby providing a variety of programming for all ages, with some
corresponding reduction in the activities offered to seniors?
a) Strongly Agree
b) Agree
c) Disagree
d) Strongly Disagree

Community Survey Questions
2011 Survey
1. "Impact Fees" are assessed on all new housing construction to help pay for related public
infrastructure (like roads and parks). To what extent do you support or oppose an impact fee to
pay a portion of new school construction costs in Pasco?
2. The City of Pasco is considering asking the state to change the process arbitrators use in
organized -labor negotiations to ensure that an individual city's budget or "ability to pay" is
factored into the arbitration decision. To what extent do you support or oppose a change to
reflect the city's "ability to pay ?'
3. There are seven members of the City Council; five positions require a candidate to reside within a
geographical district within the City and two positions are elected "at large" without regard to
district residency. The purpose of having some districts is to assure reasonable geographic
representation of Council members throughout the city. Please indicate which of the following
best reflects your view: favor the current system as described above; prefer fewer at large
representatives; prefer more at large representatives.
2009 Survey
1. To what extent do you support or oppose establishing curbside recycling service, if it requires an
increase to your garbage pickup service cost of $4 to $5 dollars per month?
2. To what extent do you support or oppose the City continuing to add fluoride to the City's drinking
water system?
3. A committee, consisting of representatives of the cities of Kennewick, Richland and Pasco, has
been studying the feasibility of developing regional centers (e.g., aquatic center, performing arts
center, etc.) that could be used by all residents in the region and considering voter approved sales
tax and property tax options to finance them. Because a sales tax would be paid by visitors as well
as residents and would be paid in much smaller increments throughout the year, among other
reasons, the committee has tentatively concluded that a sales tax increase would be preferable to a
property tax increase. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this conclusion?
2007 Survey
1. To what extent do you support or oppose the City taking a more active role in working to improve
the downtown business area?
2. To what extent do you support or oppose the City installing and maintaining landscaping along
select major street corridors to improve the appearance of the community?
3. As you may know, the three public pools in Pasco are in need of complete renovation. As an
alternative, to what degree would you support or oppose the City building a new water park
(including a pool slide and other water features) that would replace one (or possibly two) existing
swimming pools?
2005 Survey
1. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "The City of Pasco should
assume all the cost of maintaining and operating Chiawana Park "?
2. To what extent do you support or oppose an increased sales tax of 1/10 of one percent (one extra
penny on each $10 purchase) to have a regional aquatic center in the Tri- Cities?
3. The City has a history of supporting Pasco School District programs and facilities with City funds.
To what extent do you support or oppose the City of Pasco continuing to support Pasco School
District programs and facilities with City funds?
