2013 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
Date: December 2, 2013
To: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
Rick Terway, Administrative & Community Services Director
From: Dunyele Mason, Financial Services Manager
Subject: 2013 OPERATING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROJECTS
BUDGET SUPPLEMENT
As is traditionally the case, a budget supplement is required to increase the legal spending
authority for those items unanticipated or indeterminable at the time the 2013 Annual Operating
and Capital Improvements Projects Budgets were adopted.
2013 OPERATING BUDGET SUPPLEMENT
Resources for the 2013 Operating Budget Supplement will be unanticipated revenue,
contributions from active funds, and beginning fund balance. The budget supplement ordinance
will only list those funds that will actually increase revenue and/or expenditure amounts.
GENERAL FUND
The following departments require additional authority to cover unanticipated expenditures.
Please refer to the attached Exhibit to see the affected line items. The major changes by
department in the General Fund are described below. $1,500,000 of these additional expenditures
is covered by 2013 revenues in excess of original budget and by $3,816,808 use of ending fund
balance.
Significant net changes in Department budgets are as follows:
Fire Department $1,146,000
NonDepartmental $3,608,808
Total General Fund $4,754,808
The Fire Department increase of $1,146,000 is related to:
• $771,000 higher wage costs due to contract settlement.
• $375,000 higher overtime due to employees on extended disability leave.
The NonDepartmental increase of $3,608,808 is primarily related to:
• $717,178 in additional transfers to support various new capital and construction
projects; including $378,036 (Muni Court) and $181,000 (0 Ave South) projects.
• $1,870,000 in overnight loans. $1,500,000 is to the construction fund and $320,000
to CDBG fund until grant qualified expenditures are reimbursed. The $50,000 loan
to the Golf Course Fund is a contingency loan in case December season pass sales
don't sell at the same levels as in past years.
2013 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
OTHER OPERATING FUNDS
STREET FUND
Budget changes for this fund all relate to various street related maintenance projects and studies.
Revenue changes consist of transfers in and grants. Some examples of these projects are Annual
Sidewalk Maintenance, Pasco Safe Routes, Court Street ADA improvements, Road 68 re-
striping, etc.
ARTERIAL STREET FUND
The Arterial Street fund provides project funding for construction work done on major streets.
$800,000 of the $1,110,473 change is funding for the Powerline Road project started in 2013.
I -182 CORRIDOR TRAFFIC IMPACT FUND
The I -182 Corridor Traffic Impact fund provides project funding for construction projects.
Funding was provided for the Powerline Road and Road 68 Phase II projects.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT GRANT FUND
The Community Development Block Grant Program requires $240,000 and the HOME Program
$80,000 in interfund loans in order for the fund to have positive cash balance at year end. As a
grant fund, expenditures are made first and the grant reimbursement comes after the end of the
year. The loan will be repaid in January 1, 2014. $124,657 was transferred to the Street fund to
help pay for the Court St ADA project. $7,630 of expenditures related to grant work but which
did not qualify as grant reimbursable was funded by a transfer from the General Fund.
AMBULANCE FUND
A total expenditure budget increase of $497,961 is needed for the ambulance fund. Extended
medical time loss and wage contract settlement have pushed personnel costs $521,000 over
original budget. The overnight loan of $48,000 from last year which was paid on January 1, 2013
is also provided for. In order to cover additional costs and to reestablish a minimum fund
balance, the general fund transferred $737,000 of additional funding to the ambulance fund.
CEMETERY FUND
The level of business at the cemetery was more than originally planned for resulting in additional
revenue ($47,000) and related cost ($42,000) increases.
2013 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
GOLF COURSE FUND
The golf course is expected to break even for the year, however that depends heavily on the
timing of sale of season passes. The timing of season pass sales could easily shift between
December and January so, just to be conservative, a $50,000 overnight loan is budgeted for to
avoid the risk of ending the year with a negative cash balance. If sales occur as planned in
December then the overnight loan will not occur.
SENIOR CENTER FUND
Additional programs created more revenues and more program related costs than originally
budgeted. This fund is expected to operate with a $39 thousand dollar deficit for 2013. A
$10,000 transfer from the General Fund as well as fund balance was used to fund the deficit.
SCHOOL IMPACT FEE FUND
This was a new fund that was created in 2012 when the new school impact fee was approved.
This fund works as a conduit as the amounts collected from the impact fee less a small
administrative charge are passed through to the school district. Since the impact fee is related to
construction, and since it was a new fee the 2013 original budget estimate was very low. The
budget adjustment affects both revenues and expenses and simply provides the spending
authority to pass through the actual dollars collected.
RIVERSHORE TRAIL & MARINA FUND
Major repairs were made to the restrooms and no fund balance was available. Thus the costs
were paid for by a transfer from the general fund.
SPECUL ASSESSMENT LODGING FUND
As revenues came in higher than originally planned, expenditures are also higher to the Tri-
Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau as they are paid based on a percentage of revenues
collected.
PARK DEVELOPMENT FUND
This fund collects park development fees and this year contributed $20,000 to the construction
fund to help pay for the Three Rivers Park and Memorial Playground Equipment projects.
2013 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND
This fund also contributed $10,000 to the Three Rivers Park project, $10,000 to the Memorial
Playground Equipment project and $131,304 to additional work on the Lewis St Overpass
project.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT FUND
$180,000 is budgeted for the purchase of a half of farm circle to support the Process Water Reuse
Facility (PWRF). Also, $60,000 was used in 2013 to acquire an option to purchase land
originally intended for the Regional PFD Aquatics Center. Lastly, $250,000 was transferred to
the Water /Sewer Utility fund to pay for oversizing capacity increases in the PWRF improvement
projects.
LID DEBT FUND
This fund provides temporary financing for LID construction. Construction during the current
year was slightly higher than budgeted which results in an additional transfer of $5,311.
GENERAL CONSTRUCTION FUNDS
This fund collects funds from a variety of sources and constructs non - utility projects. Once
projects start other funding sources (e.g. grants) may come available. When projects are finished
under budget then additional funds are available to return from the construction fund. The 2013
Supplemental Budget of $3,192,570 relates to a variety of projects and generally represents
change in timing of expenditures between budget years. These expenditures are reflected and
offset by various funding (revenue) transfers to reflect updated construction schedules and return
of city funding replaced by federal grant funding.
WATER/SEWER UTILITY FUND
There are a variety of changes to transfers out to fund capital activities. There is a net $30,238
related to settling up the cost of the financial system software replacement project and $158,000
to provide additional replacement cost funding for four new vehicles. Two of the vehicles are for
the new Hydrant Maintenance and Sewer Pre - Treatment programs.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT (GOV'T) FUND
$25,000 was provided in 2013 as a transfer in to the equipment replacement fund so that the
vehicles for the new Chief Groundsman could be purchased in early 2014. A $17,000 van for
2013 Operating & Capital Budget Supplement Memorandum
engineering was funded and purchased in 2013. An additional $333,000 was spent to acquire a
Ladder Truck for the fire department.
EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT (UTILITY) FUND
The utility transferred $158,000 to the Equipment Replacement fund to provide for vehicles for
the new Hydrant Maintenance and Sewer Pre - Treatment programs and to provide additional
funding to purchase % ton truck with service box for the irrigation maintenance crew. Purchases
are budgeted to occur in 2014.
MEDICAUDENTAL INSURANCE FUND
The city is self-insured for employee medical, dental and vision. Claims to date have been higher
than expected. To provide adequate funding ($411,000) to cover higher costs ($370,000) and to
start replenishing reserves to legally required levels premiums were increased three times during
the current year. December monthly premiums are nearly 30% higher than they were in January
2013.
2013 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BUDGET SUPPLEMENT
Some projects will be complete by the end of 2013 and will be closed and removed from the
Capital Improvement Budget. Also, during the course of the year some capital improvements
projects exceed their original appropriation and some are new and thus not included in the 2013
Capital Improvements Projects Budget. Therefore, a supplement to the 2013 Capital
Improvements Projects Budget is required. The total amount of projects with increased authority
is $20,063,608. Projects which are closing and reduce the budget total $3,433,544. New projects
total $3,089,574 in new budget, continuing projects require increases of $2,083,543 and the net
effect of closing projects total $11,456,947.
The total overall change in the Capital Improvement Budget is $16,630,064. The amounts are
larger than in the past because two major projects (West Side Water Treatment Plant of
$12,760,528 & 2010 Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements of $1,654,851) were closed and
removed from the Capital Improvement Budget in the prior year but were not finished. Thus the
full project budget appears in the current year as an addition to budget as well as being included
to close in 2013.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. Earlier this year the Council considered a number of zoning text amendments. These text
amendments included provisions for special permit review for requests to construct
detached shops and garages in in excess of eighteen (18) feet in height for properties
located in RS -12 and RS -20 zones. During the final stages of adopting a broader Zoning
Code update Council directed the Planning Commission to further analyze the height and
size regulations for detached residential shops and garages in the remaining residential
zones.
B. The Planning Commission held a series of workshops in 2013 to develop a
recommendation dealing with increasing the height of detached residential shops and
garages. Following the October workshop the Planning Commission held a public
hearing in November to consider a code amendment to increase the maximum height of
detached residential shops and garages in the RS -1, R -1, R -2, R -3 and R -4 zoning
districts on lots over 12,000 square feet by way of special permit review.
C. At their regular November 21, 2013 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended
the City Council amend the zoning language of the RS -1, R -1, R -2, R -3 and R -4 zones.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. The Planning Commission determined that it would not be appropriate to increase the
maximum allowable floor area of shops and garages in the RS -1, R -1, R -2, R -3 and R -4
zones with smaller minimum lot sizes, but with appropriate review criteria (Reference 2)
it may be reasonable to allow height increases by way of special permit review.
B. To maintain consistency provisions in the RS -1, R -1, R -2, R -3 and R -4 zones were
amended to match the recently added provisions related to shop and garage height
limitations in the RS -12 and RS -20 zones. This meant offering special permit review for
requests to exceed the listed accessory structure height maximums on parcels over 12,000
square feet in area.
C. Following Council review and discussion staff will prepare a final ordinance for
adoption.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 16, 2013
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Dave McDonald, City Planner
SUBJECT: Accessory Structure Heights (MF# CA2013 -003)
On January 1st of this year the City annexed 608 acres of land located in West
Pasco (Riverview Annexation Area # 2) generally between Road 68 and Road 52
south of the FCID Canal and north of Sylvester Street. Over 500 dwelling units
were included in this area. Much of the annexation area is developed with low -
density single - family homes on large suburban lots. The area was zoned mostly
RS -20 following the annexation in an effort to protect the suburban nature of
the area. Due to the size of the properties and suburban nature of the area it is
not uncommon to find properties with large detached garages and shops.
The current City zoning standards limit detached garages /shops heights to 18
feet and in no case can a shop be built higher than the house it shares a lot
with. If a shop is to be built on a lot with a house that is only 14 feet tall the
shop height will be limited to 14 feet. The County zoning standards also permit
detached garages /shops to a height of 18 feet. There is no limit based on the
height of the house. Additionally, the County permits a height greater than 18
feet through the approval of a special permit.
Several inquiries have been made by recently annexed property owners on what
options are available to allow a shop to be taller than the 18 foot limitation.
Currently the only means of exceeding the accessory building height limit is to
attach the shop /garage to a house making the garage part of the house thereby
eliminating the height restriction. The overall height limitation within the
zoning district still applies. Most people do not review this as an option
because it adds expense to the project or requires modification to their home.
The purpose for the shop height limitation was to protect the integrity and
nature of single - family zoning districts. Residential zoning districts are the
most restrictive zoning districts in the city and are designed to protect the
value of property. Single - family dwellings are the principle or primary uses
permitted on low- density or suburban lots. The dwelling must be the
prominent feature on a lot. Accessory buildings are subordinate to the
principle use. Permitting shops to be taller or large than a house on the same
1
lot causes the shop to be the dominate feature turning the intent of the zoning
regulations upside down.
The height limitations on accessory structures was placed in the code as a
result of homeowner complaints about tall and over bearing garage /shop built
in neighboring back yards. The neighbors perceived large garages as a
detriment to the character and value of their residential neighborhood. This
reaction is not uncommon. As the Planning Commission will recall early last
year a property owner submitted a letter of complaint to the Planning Office
about the height and size of a shop /garage that was constructed on the lot
behind his house. The large shop was viewed as something obnoxious and
"reminiscent of an industrial complex, not a residential neighborhood ".
The problem with the excessively large garages /shops is more acute in
neighborhoods with smaller lots. The scale and bulk of a large garage in
relationship to a small lot makes the garage overbearing and decreases the
aesthetic appeal of a neighborhood. The open feeling one expects to find in a
residential neighborhood is diminished by the large garages. Permitting the
construction of these oversized accessory structures is counter to the purposes
of the zoning ordinance. The zoning ordinance was enacted to provide open
space for light and air and to prevent the overcrowding of land. It is not
uncommon for staff to receive complaints about the size and height of garages
and shop in RS -12 zones. The complaint about the garage discussed in the
paragraph above was from a neighborhood with 12,000 square foot lots. The
issues of architectural scale and bulk become less of a concern as the size of
lots increase. Larger lots afford greater distances between houses and
accessory buildings eliminating some of the aesthetic problems experienced
with the smaller lots including, 12,000 square foot lots.
In addition to inquiries made to staff about how to build shops beyond the 18
foot limit the City Council has also received similar inquires. As a result the
Planning Commission is again being asked to review the matter.
In reviewing this matter the Planning Commission may want to consider the
following:
• Do nothing and keep the height limitation in place.
• Increase the height limit but keep it under the maximum allowed in the
district.
• Allow a greater height if a larger setback is provided.
• Allow a greater height if the lot exceeds a certain square footage.
• Allow an increase in height only through the Special Permit review
process.
2
This matter has been scheduled for a public hearing on May 16th. While the
Special Permit process may be the simplest option to pursue, other options
listed above may also have some merit. Staff is recommending the scheduled
public hearing be opened and treated more like a workshop to provide staff
with some direction to assist with preparing a code amendment. The hearing
could then be continued until the June meeting at which time a code
amendment could be considered.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: June 20, 2013
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Dave McDonald, City Planner
SUBJECT: Accessory Structure Heights (MF# CA2013 -0031
At the regular meeting on May 16th the Planning Commission held a
combination workshop /hearing to discuss the issue of accessory structure
heights (see attached Memorandum for additional background) in RS -20 zones.
During the May 16th meeting the Planning Commission considered the
following options for addressing the accessory structure height questions:
• Do nothing and keep the height limitation in place.
• Increase the height limit but keep it under the maximum allowed in the
district.
• Allow a greater height if a larger setback is provided.
• Allow a greater height if the lot exceeds a certain square footage.
• Allow an increase in height only through the Special Permit review
process.
Following discussion on this matter the Planning Commission was in favor of
utilizing the special permit process for responding to property owners who
wanted to build shops and garages taller than the permitted 18 feet. The
County utilizes the special permit process for permitting shops and garages
with heights greater than 18 feet. Using the same process in the City would
create greater consistency for development regulations between the City and
County.
The proposed ordinance attached hereto provides for the special permit review
as suggested by the Planning Commission and also creates an additional list of
review items to assist with developing conclusions and conditions necessary for
approving greater building heights for accessory structures.
1) The City annexed 608 acres of Riverview on January 1, 2013.
2) Approximately 1,400 acres of Riverview remain in the County but are
located within the Pasco Urban Growth Boundary.
I
3) The Riverview Annexation Area # 2 was primarily zoned RS -20 to
preserve the development patterns of the area.
4) Large shops and detached garages are a customarily found within the
Riverview area and on large lots within the City.
5) The current zoning regulations limit the height of shops and detached
garages to 18 feet.
6) County zoning regulations permit shops and detached garages to be over
18 feet high provided a special permit has been granted.
7) The Growth Management Act encourages consistency between City and
County development regulations within the Urban Growth Boundary.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 15, 2013
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Shane O'Neill, Planner I
SUBJECT: Accessory Structure Heights (MF# CA2013 -003)
At their regular meeting on July 15th, Council adopted Ordinance # 4110
making a variety of amendments to PMC Title 25 (Zoning). Included in the
amendments are provisions for special permit review for requests to allow
detached shops and garages in excess of eighteen (18) feet in height in the RS-
12 & RS -20 zones. During the meeting Council discussed the need for Code
provisions offering an avenue for similar height increases in the other
residential zones and once again Council remanded the issue of detached
shop /garage height back to the Planning Commission further analysis.
Currently, the Zoning Code permits detached shops and garages up to fifteen
(15) feet in height in the RS -1, R -1, R -2, R -3 & R -4 zones with a provision for a
three (3) foot increase in height in the RS -1 and R -1 zones provided lot size
criteria are met. The maximum detached shop /garage height in the RS -12 &
RS -20 zones is eighteen (18) feet. It should be noted that heights are measured
at the mid - roof -line which is half way between the roof eve and the roof peak.
This results in structures with a roof peak height over the listed maximums.
Additionally, in all zones, detached structures may not exceed the overall
height of the home.
Staff suggests the Planning Commission address the following questions:
Is it appropriate to increase the allowable maximum height for detached
shops and garages in the RS -1, R -1, R -2, R -3 & R -4 zones?
• What process should be used to request height increases (administrative
or special permit)?
. Which criteria should be used to evaluate height increase requests?
Should the city maintain the catch -all requirement restricting detached
structures from exceeding the height of the home?
Alternate solutions suggested by Staff:
• Use the special permit process to evaluate height increase requests with
corresponding criteria for evaluation.
Apply a graduated scale allowing incremental height increases based on
the provision of increased setbacks (side and /or rear).
Based on the outcome of the Planning Commission's discussion, Staff will bring
a code amendment back to the Planning Commission for further review.

FROM: Shane O'Neill, Planner I
SUBJECT: Accessory Structure Heights (MF# CA2013 -0031
Currently, the Zoning Code permits detached shops and garages up to fifteen
(15) feet in height in the RS -1, R -1, R -2, R -3 & R -4 zones with a provision for a
three (3) foot height increase in the RS -1 and R -1 zones on parcels over 12,000
square feet. The maximum detached shop /garage height in the RS -12 & RS -20
zones is currently eighteen (18) feet with an available special permit review to
exceed 18 feet.
It should be noted that heights are measured at the mid - roof -line which is half
way between the roof eve and the roof peak; this results in structures with roof
peak heights over the listed maximums. In all zones, detached structures may
not exceed the overall height of the home. The caveat is that the maximum
height for the primary structure can be applied to the garage or shop simply by
attaching it to the home via substantial architectural integration.
Provisions currently exist in the R -1 & RS -1 zones to allow a maximum height
of 18 feet provided the lot is 12,000 square feet or more. In effect, the
provisions allow accessory structure heights to match the Suburban zones
provided there is sufficient land area. Staff is not inclined to recommend an
option allowing heights to exceed those allowed in Suburban zones.
This leaves the R -2, R -3 & R -4 zones to be addressed. Including a similar
provision for a three (3) foot height increase based on land area would be
consistent with the RS -1 & R -1 zones. This would allow the accessory
structures in medium and high- density residential zones to potentially be up to
eighteen (18) feet.
If the Commission is inclined to offer the Special Permit process for height
increase requests, review criteria should be developed. These criteria may
relate to: residential density of the immediate vicinity, increased setbacks and
structure design (exterior finishes, fenestrations and other design features).
The attached table illustrates a few possible alternatives as a tool to help
organize discussion. The table is far from a full range of possible choices and
may be modified as the Commission sees fit.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 21, 2013
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Shane O'Neill, Planner I
SUBJECT: Detached Shop /Garage Height (MF# CA2013 -0031
Based upon a series of Planning Commission Workshops dealing with the
maximum allowed height(s) of detached shops and garages, staff has prepared
Code language. The code amendment will affect properties zoned RS -1, R -1, R-
2, R -3 and R -4 which are 12,000 square feet or greater by providing special
permit review for requests to exceed the listed height maximums for detached
shops and garages. The minimum land area requirement of 12,000 square feet
was chosen to create consistency with existing language of the RS -20, RS -12,
RS -1 and R -1 zones. Also, reference to the Supplemental Findings of Fact and
Conclusions by Planning Commission for Shops /Garages has been added in
each respective zone. The Ordinance is attached.
Findings of Fact
1) The proposed code amendment will not adversely affect public
infrastructure.
2) Design review for detached shops and garages requesting to exceed the
listed maximum height will occur during the special permit review
process to ensure that proposals will be constructed, maintained and
operated in harmony with the existing or intended character of the
general vicinity.
3) Supplemental special permit review criteria (PMC 25.86.065) will be used
to ensure that the location and height of proposed structures and the
site design will not discourage the development of permitted uses on
property in the general vicinity nor impair the value thereof.
4) Existing land use regulations contained in the code language of each
zoning district are designed to ensure the operations in connection with
the proposal will not be more objectionable to nearby properties by
reason of noise, fumes, vibrational, dust, traffic or flashing lights than
would be the operations of any permitted uses within the district. The
1
potential for said impacts will be specifically reviewed during the special
permit review process for each application. No amendments to the
permitted uses listed in each zone are proposed.
5) Additional accessory structure height is not likely to endanger the public
health or safety nor is it likely to in anyway become a nuisance to uses
permitted in the district.
Recommendation
MOTION: I move the Planning Commission adopt the Findings of Fact as
contained in the November 21, 2013 staff memo on the residential
detached shops and garages.
MOTION: I move the Planning Commission recommend the City Council
adopt the proposed Code Amendment making provisions to
increase the maximum height of residential detached shops and
garages.

agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Sewer Utility Fund ($55,000)
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Owners of several parcels of land in the Commercial - Kahlotus Service Area of Pasco
are planning for future development and expansion of their existing industrial
facilities. Realizing the need and benefit of having domestic sewer service to the
properties, the property owners petitioned the City for annexation. The City approved
that annexation request on December 17, 2012.
B) The City has also recognized the immediate and long -term need to provide domestic
sewer service to the area. The Comprehensive Sewer Plan, currently being drafted,
includes the identification of need for services in this area. The City previously
prepared the design of a gravity sewer main for this area as part of the recently
completed Commercial - Kahlotus Lift Station Project.
C) The Property Owners (Fifties I, LLC, Oregon Potato (Freeze- Pack), Carson Ag, LLC
(Agri -Pak), and Pasco Industrial Properties, LLC) have coordinated with City staff
over the past several months to identify an appropriate extension of the City's sewer
system. A sewer extension agreement has been drafted to memorialize the obligations
of the Property Owners and the City, respectively, in terms of cost - sharing for the
extension including, design requirements, plan review, permitting and inspection. In
essence, the developers will pay the cost equivalent to a 10" sewer line (minimum
size) the entire length of the extension, while the City will pay the equivalent cost of
"oversizing" the sewer line to 14" so it can function as a collection main to serve the
larger vicinity in the future (this will avoid duplicate line installations in the future).
D) The City's share of the extension project will not exceed $55,000, or about 17 percent
of the total project cost. The Property Owners will pay the balance of the project
costs and the City will provide them a "latecomer agreement ", whereby future
connections to the sewer main will reimburse the Property Owners their fair share of
4(c)
the expense not attributable to their own properties. Participation in the Property
Owners' extension results in a much lower cost project, as it is a private project not
subject to prevailing wages; consequently,. the City's cost is likewise lower.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The proposed agreement ensures appropriate extension of the City's sewer system to a
portion of its UGA that is quite likely to experience growth over the next decade. If
not extended, the existing industrial facilities will be limited on their long -term
expansion potential and future development will either not occur at all or will occur
with septic tanks. The latter scenario would frustrate the logical extension of the
sewer system over time, eventually increasing costs for rate payers and retarding
development values.
B) Staff recommends approval of the sewer system extension agreement as presented.

Sewer System Extension Agreement — Fifties I, LLC Page 4

EXHIBIT A
CITY OF PASCO SEWER SYSTEM EXTENSION IN
THE COMMERCIAL- KAHLOTUS AREA
DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Introduction: For the past several months, Mr. Thomas Kidwell, representing a group of property
owners including Fifties I, LLC, Oregon Potato (Freeze- Pack), Carson Ag, LLC (Agri-Pak), and Pasco
Industrial Properties, LLC, has been discussing development plans and the need for a gravity sewer
extension to the properties in the Commercial Avenue / Pasco - Kahlotus Highway area, with the City. The
City had previously recognized the need for a gravity sewer main to serve the existing industrial users and
developing properties; and had completed the design of a system that was proposed to be constructed and
financed by a Local Improvement District. Mr. Kidwell, on behalf of all of the private properties,
approached the City and proposed that the private property owners would redesign the sewer main route,
construct and fund the construction. The sewer extension would connect to the Commercial - Kahlotus
Lift Station, recently completed by the City. The proposal also included a provision that the City would
assume the cost of any oversizing of the pipeline and extra depth that might be required to serve the larger
area.
Project Description: The proposed project will extend City of Pasco domestic sewer service from a
connection point at the Commercial - Kahlotus Lift Station inlet pipe near Manhole 1 located on the south
side of Pasco - Kahlotus Highway; then south approximately 1,430 LF through the property owned by
Fifties I to the south property boundary; then westerly along the southern property boundary
approximately 1,760 LF to Commercial Avenue Loop (aka Old Kahlotus Hwy.); then south for
approximately 400 LF along Commercial Avenue Loop.
The sewer system extension will include necessary pipe, manholes and other appurtenances as determined
by the City of Pasco. Design and construction will be in accordance with all current applicable City of
Pasco standards and requirements and all applicable state and federal standards and requirements as may
be adopted or referenced by the City. The sewer system extension alignment will be located as proposed
by the property owners with input. from and approval by the City of Pasco.
General Cost Sharing Proposal: The parties have negotiated a cost sharing arrangement that generally
provides for the following:
Design — As the City of Pasco has previously completed the design of a sewer extension to the
area and the property owners are proposing a revised alignment, the property owners shall be
entirely responsible for the redesign of the sewer extension including the cost of design,
topographical survey, preparation of construction documents, construction survey, and City plan
review and construction inspection efforts for the work associated with the sewer system
extension.
• Construction —Fifties I shall be responsible for the entire cost of the equivalent of a 10 -inch pipe
system. The City of Pasco will be responsible for the cost differential to provide a larger
diameter pipe system where deemed to be required, by the City.
• Development specific costs — Each property owner will be responsible for the costs associated
with their individual properties, developments, and businesses. The City shall bear no
responsibility for these costs.

Wage and Salary Plans
December 6, 2013
Workshop Mtg.: 12/9/13
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Wage Plan Comparison, Non - Represented, Non - Management, 2013
2. Salary Comparison, Management Positions, 2013
H. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
12/9: Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Increase non - represented personnel cost by $157,000 annually
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The city is required to use "comparable" cities pay plans when negotiating union
contracts for police and fire employees. In the interest of fairness, the same list is used
to maintain other wage and salary plans of the city (public works non - represented, non-
management and management positions). That list of eight cities has been largely the
same over the past decade but, with the growth in population and tax base, the
"comparable cities" list is required to change. The new list of comparables reflect those
cities outside the Puget Sound area (consistent with past arbitration decision), within
50% of Pasco's population and within 20% of Pasco's general tax base measurement
(annual property tax, sales tax and utility tax revenues). Those eight cities are:
Kennewick, Richland, Wenatchee, Walla Walla, Mt. Vernon, Longview, Marysville and
Bremerton.
B) The non - management wage plan was adjusted last year to reduce gaps particularly in the
technical positions (information systems and engineering). With the new list of
comparables, several new gaps are identified and recommended for adjustment (see
Exhibit 1). Though the technical positions suggest new gaps, Human Resources will
conduct an analysis of those positions for comparability in 2014. The cost of the
recommended changes would approximate $97,000 annually, at the 2013 level.
C) Most of Pasco's management positions are measurably below the new comparability list
(see Exhibit 2). It is recommended that the salary plan be adjusted such that all
positions are 97% of (3% below) the respective comparable average. The additional
cost of the recommended changes would approximate $80,000 annually, at the 2013
level. Though the salaries would remain below the average of the comparable cities,
they will be generally consistent with the non - management plan and managers are
eligible for annual merit award.
D) CPI -U, B/C Western Cities, October 2012 -2013, was 0.8 %. This is the same CPI factor
used for all employee groups annually.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Pasco, like most other cities around the state, provides a "Cost of Living Adjustment"
(COLA) to its employee pay plans, usually on an annual basis, depending on budget
conditions. Organized bargaining units (police, fire, and public works) negotiate
specific adjustments in bargaining contracts every two to three years, which usually
provide for an annual adjustment. Non - represented employees (management and non-
management) rely on direct action of the City Council after recommendation from the
executive office. The COLA attempts to maintain purchasing power of the employee
pay plan, so it typically is a large fraction of the annual Consumer Price Index change.
In view of the fact that most non - represented positions are paid less than their
comparable average, it is recommended that a COLA of 1.0% be applied to both non-
represented compensation plans.

1. 2013 Legislative Priorities with Proposed Changes
December 4, 2013
Workshop Mtg.: 12/9/13
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
12/9: Discussion
FISCAL IMPACT:
N/A
HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The city contracts with a legislative consultant based in Olympia to monitor the
state legislative session each year and to advance the city's legislative agenda
accordingly. Each fall, the city provides the consultant its "legislative priorities"
representing the most important of the many legislative objectives of the city.
Attached as reference #1 is the 2013 legislative priorities list; it has been modified
to reflect proposed changes recommended by staff and the legislative consultant.
DISCUSSION:
A) The proposed changes are intended to reflect changed circumstances over the past
year, so that the new list of priorities more accurately reflects current
circumstances.
• Lewis Street Overpass: this item has been updated to include language
referencing the current effort to support a state transportation revenue
package, consistent with the city's prior resolution as well as the realization
that state funding assistance for construction of the Lewis Street Overpass is
dependent on additional transportation revenue for the state.
• Gang Activity: the legislature provided some limited grant funding for
regional gang activities during the past session and AWC has reduced its
priority associated with the nuisance regulation objective; staff and consultant
recommend this item be deleted from the list of priorities.
• Public Records: as you know, the legislature paid for the Ruckelshaus group
to initiate a state -wide discussion about problems associated with the public
records act; the group has recommended continued effort to find common
ground for a resolution to those problems. The proposed language reflects the
current status of that effort and the need for an additional state funding
allocation to complete that effort.
• Marijuana: again, the state's voters and the Liquor Control Board have
established that recreational marijuana will be permitted in the state, so the
language is revised to reflect that realization and the fact that the state needs to
allocate a portion of the tax revenue it receives on marijuana sales to local
agencies that are obligated to deal with the criminal activity that may be
associated with it.
B) Staff requests Council direction so that the priorities list can be put in resolution
form for Council action at its December 16 meeting.
LEG]
2013 Legislative Priorities with Proposed Changes
LEWIS STREET OVERPASS: The overpass project (which replaces a 1937 railroad underpass
on a former state highway) is a major Council priority which will require federal and state
funding, as the $27-29 million construction cost is simply beyond the financial capacity of
local taxpayers. With prior aid from the state, the city has completed right -of -way
acquisition and design of the new structure; the project is now "shovel ready." The City
must seek construction funding allocations from the state and federal governments to make
this essential replacement project a reality and is supportive of a state transportation revenue
Street Overpass project.
PRESERVE "STATE- SHARED REVENUES" FOR CITIES: Pasco receives nearly one million
dollars annually from the state, categorized as "state- shared revenues" (liquor excise tax,
nuclear generating tax, sales tax mitigation, city /county assistance, etc.). Given the
increasing difficulty of the state in balancing its budget, these payments to cities may be in
jeopardy during the 2843 -2014 session; their loss would jeopardize delivery of important
local services.
BINDING ARBITRATION LAW: Under state law, police and fire personnel are guaranteed
binding arbitration for wages and benefits (in lieu of the right to strike). While arbitration
can be an appropriate form of contract resolution disputes, the current statutory language
obligates the arbitrator to give paramount consideration to what "comparable departments"
are paying, rather than the ability of the particular employer to absorb the additional cost.
Police officers and firefighters collectively represent about half of total general fund
expenditures; cost impositions beyond the city's fiscal capacity can have severe
consequences on other important city services and, in some cases, may even hamper public
safety. Modification of the arbitration statute to `level the field" would better balance the
interests of uniformed employees with those of the taxpayer.
PUBLIC RECORDS REFORM: Support reform to statutes governing public records requests.
While the city recognizes the need for and benefits of transparency and accountability in
government, all too often the right to obtain public records is abused and extraordinary public
costs are absorbed by cities. S."...., efafm is needed to! pfevide eest reifnbtwsefneat;
refefms te assure p -, Preliminary findings of
the Ruckelshaus mediation process have indicated that a majority of respondents are
interested in a non - judicial path to resolution of public records requests The Cityequests
that the state allocate funding to continue the mediation process
Page 1
2013 Legislative Priorities with Proposed Changes
ELECTION OF JUDGES: The Bureau for Judicial Administration's perennial effort to require
that all judges (including part-time) be elected will again require involvement of cities.
Appointed judges are equally qualified professionally and there is no compelling evidence
that appointed judges are a threat to the administration of justice. In fact, requiring election
of all judges would be very problematic for part-time courts, particularly in small and rural
communities found throughout eastern Washington. Pasco should continue to join other
cities to oppose mandatory election of municipal court judges.

The new recreational marijuana industry is
subiect to a state excise tax as high as 75% but none of this potential funding is directed to
local agencies to address public safety needs and other local impacts Cities and counties
must enforce mariivana laws and need shared revenue to do this The City supports
legislation that would impose this revenue sharing.

AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Council
FROM: Gary Crutchfi Manager
SUBJECT: Federal Legislative Consulting Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Agreement
December 4, 2013
Workshop Mtg.: 12/9/13
Regular Mtg.: 12/16/13
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
12/9: Discussion
12/16: MOTION: I move to approve the agreement with Gordon Thomas Honeywell
Governmental Affairs for federal legislative consultant services and,
further, authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$60,000 annually
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The city has contracted with the consulting firm of Gordon Thomas Honeywell
(GTH) for legislative assistance at the state level for several years. In early 2009,
the city entered into a separate agreement with the Washington DC division of
GTH to provide for legislative consulting services specifically geared to federal
funding for the Lewis Street Overpass Project.
B) The agreement with the Washington DC office will expire on 12/31/13 and a new
agreement is needed to sustain the consulting effort on the city's behalf in
Washington DC.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The proposed agreement is identical to the prior agreements, except for the dates.
The scope of work, as identified in the attachment to the agreement, still focuses
on funding for construction of the Lewis Street Overpass project but also includes
lowering Pasco Levee 12 -2 as the final link in the Sacajawea Heritage River Trail.
B) The expense of the contract remains at $5,000 monthly ($60,000 annually). The
assistance of the consultant was beneficial in 2009 through Representative
Hastings' effort to obtain a $750,000 allocation for the project in the 2010 federal
budget. It is also critical to work with other legislative offices to assure the best
opportunity to have Pasco's projects included in new federal funding bills
expected sometime within the next 18 months.
C) In view of the substantial financial benefit for this particular project, staff
recommends the agreement continue for another year.
