Community & Aconomic Development Director eqAO
Funding Proposal for the DPDA Strategic Plan and 2013 Annual Report
REFERENCE(S):
1. Letter of Request for the Downtown Pasco Development Authority (DPDA)
2. Proposed Scopes of Work
ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/13: DISCUSSION
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approximately $35,000 from the Economic Development Fund.
HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. City Council formed the DPDA 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 fagade improvement program funded through Community Development Block
Grant funds.
B. This past year the DPDA has worked to find a replacement for the Executive Director, developed
website and social media connections, assisted with a second fagade improvement project,
initiated Downtown clean-up events, brought back the "Fiery Foods Festival" and completed the
"Christmas Tree Lighting" event.
C. Recognizing the importance of a strategic work plan and an updated internet presence - the DPDA
Board published a Request for Proposals, conducted interviews and made a tentative choice on a
firm for development of a strategic plan and a functional and contemporary website — dependent
on receipt of funding from the Economic Development Fund (funding is available but not
budgeted).
D. The funding agreement with the DPDA — which is in effect from January 2012 through December
of 2014 - calls for an annual report to City Council. The 2013 Report will be presented by the
DPDA Executive Director and Board Chair.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. This request is essential for the long term success of the DPDA and its revitalization efforts and is
expected to result in a multi -year strategic work plan. This proposed plan is seen as a measurable
task list that will establish working priorities for the DPDA Board and Executive Director.
B. The strategic plan would include identifying the responsibilities and timeline necessary for
achieving the outcomes listed below:
• Development of a Promotions /Marketing Program for the Farmer's Market and Pasco
Specialty Kitchen;
• Development of a program for the outreach and involvement of the Downtown Business
Community;
• Development of a Downtown Property/Real Estate Marketing Program;
• Incorporation of the Main Street Four Point approach;
• An analysis of unfilled consumer services /retail opportunities in the Downtown Area.
C. The request also includes the services necessary to establish a unique and consistent Downtown
Pasco "brand" for the DPDA, the Pasco Farmers Market and the Pasco Specialty Kitchen and an
improved and effective website.
D. Once negotiations are complete with the two consultants, staff will return to Council for final
consideration of the Scopes of Work. Staff recommends Council approval of funding for creation
of a strategic plan, updated website and "branding" services for the DPDA.

PASS
Development Authority
To: City Council
From: Michael Miller, President DPDA
Date: December 26, 2013
RE: Funding Request
Dear Council Members
403 W. Lewis St., Suite A
P.O. Box 688
Pasco, WA 99301
(509) 546 -1304
www.downtovmpasco.com
In December of 2010, the City determined that the creation of an independent public development authority to
undertake specific activities and projects in Downtown Pasco is the best means to accomplish the City's management
and revitalization goals. As a result, the Downtown Pasco Development Authority (DPDA) was formed by the Pasco City
Council.
With two full years of groundwork under our feet, the DPDA feels that the development of a multi -year strategic task
plan is the next step in the revitalization process. The planning process is expected to identify and prioritize
fundamental tasks for our manager and board to successfully revitalize Downtown Pasco.
We have identified a preliminary scope of work with a company specializing in economic and development activities to
help in this effort. We expect the end product to include a prioritized list of measures the DPDA must take for
revitalization; development of a Downtown Pasco unique brand and development of a website that incorporates the
Pasco Farmers Market, Pasco Specialty Kitchen and Downtown Development Authority into one contemporary and
functional website location.
The DPDA respectfully asks that City Council favorably consider funding the expected cost of this proposed task plan,
recognizing that it is necessary to create a path for the Board of the DPDA to move forward with its fundamental task of
making Downtown Pasco stronger.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Michael Miller
President, DPDA
Ourmission is to strengthen and develop Downtown Pasco as a centerfor culture, business, and community spirit.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Comprehensive Corporate Identity
We will design a comprehensive corporate identity and develop brand standards for the DPDA and it's
affiliated businesses. The package will include:
- Branding for the DPDA
- Branding for the Pasco Farmer's Market
- Branding for the Pasco Specialty Kitchen
- Written brand standards
DPDA
We will develop an identity for the DPDA that includes a logo, color palette and fonts. The elements
will be designed to communicate stability, approachability and innovation as its primary goals.
This identity may also communicate helpfulness, vibrance, strength, culture, safety, smart, fun and hip.
The overarching brand standards will influence the look of the Farmer's Market and Speciality Kitch-
en brands, providing a level of consistency between the three brands.
We will prepare five or more logo options for consideration and revise the selected logo as needed.
We will design letterhead, envelope and business cards based on the selected logo design.
When finished, we will prepare a CD containing variations in color, white and black. The files will be
saved in both .jpg and .eps formats.
Pasco Farmer's Market
The identity for the Farmer's Market will be designed to appeal to consumers who care about the
quality of their food and value locally - produced raw and processed foods. The design will also
communicate that this market is "the fun one ".

5. Stormwater Fund Analysis
6. Irrigation Fund Analysis
7. Ambulance Fund Analysis
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL /STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/13: Discussion
1/21: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. adjusting the water,
stormwater and ambulance utility rates effective February 1, 2014
and adjusting the water utility rate effective January 1, 2015 and,
further, authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Water Utility, Sewer Utility, Stormwater Utility, Ambulance Fund, Utility Tax
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Each utility is analyzed annually and projections made for a 5 year planning window.
This 2014 -2018 Utility Rate Plan contemplates operating needs, construction impacts
(as approved by the 2014 -2019 Capital Improvement Plan) and the impacts of current
and future debt issuances. By using a five year planning window, rate impacts can be
managed. The current goal is to contain rate increases to no more often than every
two years.
B) WATER. The last water rate increase was authorized in 2010; four years ago and in
conjunction with the issuance of new debt. The next debt issuance is planned for
2015. To lower costs and keep rates down, the utility has used its reserves to fund
construction costs and delay additional debt. The 2014 -2018 Utility Rate Plan for
water calls for a 30% increase in base fees ($3.75 /month for residential, from $12.50
to $16.25) and a 5% increase in water consumption rate (from $0.65 to $0.68 per 100
Cubic Ft.) in 2014. Effective January 1, 2015, there will be no increase in the base
rates but a 3% increase in consumption rates (from $0.68 to $0.70 per 100 Cubic Ft.).
The 2015 increase is necessary to restore operating reserve balances to preserve the
utility's credit rating. There are 221 accounts receiving the Low Income Sr. Discount
of 67% (i.e. the reduced rate is 1/3 the regular base fee) so this base fee would
increase $1.23 per month from $4.17 to $5.40 in 2014.
C) SEWER. The last sewer increase took place in 2004; ten years ago. In 2013, the
sewer utility received $2.4 million in bond proceeds for construction projects and
maintained the reserve balances. In conjunction with the water utility, the next debt
issuance is planned for 2015 to provide funding for capital projects as listed in the
2014 -2019 Capital Improvement Plan and the 20 Year Sewer Master Plan. There is
no rate increase planned for 2014 or 2015. 4(c)
D) STORMWATER. The last stormwater increase took place in 2012. This utility
currently has no debt and renews its system using rates revenues. The 2014 -2018
Utility Rate Plan calls for a 13% increase in base fees ($0.50 /month for residential,
$3.90 to $4.40) in 2014.
E) IRRIGATION. The last irrigation increase took place in 2011. This utility currently
has no debt and renews its system using rates revenues. Continued growth in the
number of customers has been sufficient to offset increasing costs of doing business.
There is no rate increase planned for 2014 or 2015.
F) AMBULANCE. The last ambulance rate increase took place in 2013. The utility
currently has no debt but faces on -going revenue challenges to keep pace with
operating increases. The 2014 -2018 Utility Rate Plan calls for a 24% increase in base
fees ($1.50 /month for residential, $6.25 to $7.75) in 2014.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) WATER.
1) Included in the analysis is the impact of several new programs. The first program
is the Fire Hydrant Flushing program. This program provides resources to carry
out a preventative maintenance program to flush, service, repair and test the fire
hydrants city wide to better ensure they are properly working and available in an
emergency. The second program, the Hydrant Addition program provides
resources to add fire hydrants west of 20a' Avenue where sufficient fire protection
should be improved. The third program is the Water Meter Relocation program.
This program increases efforts to move existing water meter /services from
troublesome areas (in parking strips, secured areas, etc.) to readily accessible and
serviceable locations. The total impact of these new programs is about $412,000
per year.
2) There is an additional impact of approximately $590,000 per year that includes a
2% increase in the O &M on -going costs ($90,000); increases in state and city
utility taxes ($156,000), increases in interfund administrative charges ($144,000)
and a contribution to replenish reserves ($305,000) over the next several years
required to maintain the utility's credit rating.
B) SEWER.
1) Sewer rates are impacted by the new Department of Ecology requirement that the
City take on the responsibility of pre - treatment permit process. The impact of the
new requirement is estimated at $216,000 per year. There is an additional impact
of approximately $200,000 per year that includes a contribution to replenish
reserves over the next several years required to maintain the utility's credit rating.
2) Continued growth in the customer base has allowed these costs to be absorbed
without a 2014 rate increase.
C) STORMWATER.
1) Included in the analysis are the impacts of additional maintenance programs and
the addition of a 0.5FTE (re- assigned from the Street Division) devoted to street
sweeping. A new Retro -Fit program ($60,000) has been added along with a new
Recondition Storm Drain Pipes ($25,000 in 2014 increasing to $50,000 in 2015).
These programs were added to meet Department of Ecology permitting
requirements. A $0.50 increase in 2015 may be necessary to cover 2014 service
levels. As an alternative to the 2015 rate increase, Council might decrease the
sweeping frequency.
D) IRRIGATION.
1) Continued growth in the number of customers has been sufficient to offset
increasing costs of doing business which means no rate increase is required.
Reserves remain adequate.
E) AMBULANCE.
1) Ambulance rate increases are driven by continued increases in costs and
continued state and federal caps on medical reimbursements. Personnel costs
represent 72% of all operating costs. The settlement of the union contract resulted
in an operating cost increase of approximately $86,000 per year. The balance of
revenue generated by the proposed increase will reduce the General Fund subsidy
to the previous $420,000 level. The 2015 rate increase and ambulance rate model
will be discussed in detail later this year.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council f I January 8, 2014
TO: Gary Crutchfield, [Manager Workshop Mtg.: 1/13/14
FROM: Robert W.
SUBJECT: Fire Safety Inspections in Commercial Facilities
I. REFERENCE(S):
Memo from Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director re:
Inspection Program
H. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/13: Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated expense at $66,000; estimated fee revenue at $40,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Each city in the state is rated periodically by the Washington Survey and Rating
Bureau (an industry - sponsored entity) so that insurers have some way to judge the
relative risk of loss from city to city. Those cities with excellent water storage
and distribution systems coupled with extensive fire staffing and disbursement
profiles are classified in a lower range (as 2 or 3), while those with more common
profiles are rated in the class 4 to 7 range. The lower the rating number, the lower
the fire insurance premium required for property owners within the respective
city. Pasco has been rated as a class 5 city for at least 30 years.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Preparing the city and the fire department for the next rating (expected in 2015 or
2016) has been a long -term goal. A rating of the city involves five different areas;
water supply, fire department, communications, fire safety control and "additional
deficiencies" (used when one of the first four is significantly better than the
others).
B) The City of Pasco has not had a formal fire safety inspection program since 1987.
During this time the city has experienced rapid commercial and industrial
development. In the last rating by the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau
(2007) the city did not rate well in fire safety control.
C) While improving the rating would result in lower insurance premiums, the city
must also be concerned with maintaining the current rating. The continued growth
since the 2007 raring could cause additional deficiency points and a re-
classification. Staff has initiated actions in water supply and the fire department
intending to reduce deficiencies. The proposed regionalization of the
communications system will improve the communications deficiencies. The
efforts already initiated (smoke detectors, juvenile fire setting intervention, school
fire safety education and training some of our personnel as "public fire
educators'), and are proposing (fire safety inspections), should reduce
deficiencies in the area of fire safety control.
4(d)
D) While fire safety inspections may not always prevent fires, several noteworthy
commercial fires in the last few years have identified issues that may have been
resolved by a fire safety inspection program prior to the fire occurrences. One
such issue was the failure of stairwell door closures resulting in multiple ladder
rescues from a building.
E) As outlined in reference #1, the proposed inspection fee should offset the cost of a
contract building inspector during peak building activity. The proposed workload
of 875 fire inspections per year is within the national recommended maximum of
1000 inspections per year per inspector. Assuming an inspection fee of $50, the
inspection program would generate approximately $40,000.
F) The Washington Survey and Raring Bureau and local commercial insurance
vendors estimate that changes up or down from our current class 5 would result in
an increase or decrease in the overall insurance premium between 5% and 10%
depending on occupancy type, building construction, loss history and occupancy
risk.
G) Using an actual example building in the City of Pasco (frame construction built in
1970, with a value of $1,000,000 and contents valued at $100,000) going from a
class 5 to a class 4 would reduce the premium $251. Going from a class 5 to a
class 6 would increase the premium at least that amount, and possibly more,
depending on the insurer.
H) Staff recommends Council favorably consider instituting a mandatory fire safety
inspection program for hazardous (commercial) occupancies. While doing so will
not guarantee an improved (lower) rating, it will very likely ensure that the rating
is not downgraded (to 6).
MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 12, 2013
TO: Gary Crutchfield, City Manager
FROM: Rick White, Director
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Fire Safety Inspections
To determine possibilities for a Fire Safety Inspection Program, the number of active City business
licenses was inventoried. This resulted in a determination of 1,500 various types of commercial
business licenses. These business licenses were broken down into the following categories:
• Low Hazard Licenses (559) such as retail stores, beauty salons, business offices or small
groceries without food preparation or fuel services...
• Moderate- Hazard Licenses (730) such as restaurants, contractors with construction
equipment and/or storage, used tire businesses, larger retail stores and dance halls or
nightclubs...
• High -Hazard Licenses (130) such as food processing and warehousing, automotive repair or
body shops, welding, painting, roofing companies, materials storage, auto wrecking...
• Others (49) such as schools, day cares, motels...
The Fire Safety Inspection Program is proposed to include a yearly inspection of all high hazard
occupancies and a biennial inspection for all moderate hazard occupancies. For planning purposes,
it's assumed that apartments and multi- family units will be inspected through the existing Rental
Inspection Program with revisions to the existing inspection checklist. These revisions would
include inspections of fire extinguishers, door closures, automatic lighting and other fire related
safety provisions. It is also assumed in order to accomplish fire safety inspections during the Rental
Inspection Program, the Code Enforcement Officers will need to acquire additional training but not
necessarily need to be certified as Fire Safety Inspectors.
Based on the above, this results in an additional inspection workload of approximately 875 fire safety
inspections per year. This figure assumes that there will be 500 initial fire safety inspections and that
three fourths (375) will require follow -up inspections.
At 875 additional total inspections per year, this is an estimated increased inspection workload of
greater than 1,000 man hours per year plus an estimated 200 man hours for administration.
This is proposed to be accommodated by use of an existing City building inspector for the Fire Safety
Inspection Program. This of course, will leave a service gap with the existing construction inspection
workload that is proposed to be made up by the use of a contract building inspector. This division of
duties will enable the Fire Safety Program to be initiated in- house. It is more efficient for the City's
construction inspection services to be conducted by a contract building inspector. Any downtime in
the construction inspection demand can be accommodated by deferring use of the contract inspector.
Any downtime in the Fire Safety Program can be accommodated by using the existing building
inspector for construction inspections.

I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Vicinity Map
2. Easement Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
1/13: DISCUSSION
1/21: MOTION: I move to approve the Agreement with the Department of
Natural Resources for a public roadway easement for
Chapel Hill Boulevard east of Road 68, and further,
authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement.
1II. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. Recent property improvements at the southeast corner of RD 68 and Chapel Hill
Boulevard this past year has resulted in the City and DNR reviewing the
agreements for public roadway use.
B. A small section of existing Chapel Hill Boulevard on DNR property east of RD
68 remains outside any formalized agreement for use as a roadway.
C. DNR is precluded from selling lands within their Trust Portfolio without
legislative action. DNR has agreed to provide the City with a perpetual easement
for use of a portion of their property as a public roadway as outlined in Reference
#2.
D. There is no financial consideration for use of this property as a public roadway.
The fee consideration will be the City's conformance with the terms of the
agreement with DNR.
DISCUSSION:
A. The easement agreement is necessary to memorialize the use of the DNR property
for a public roadway.
B. Once the agreement is fully executed the City will have assurances that use of the
property for a public roadway is allowed.
C. Staff recommends approval of the agreement.

A. Proposed Resolution
B. Amendment No. 2 to Cooperative Agreement of the Tri- Cities HOME Consortium
IL ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF
1/13: DISCUSSION
1/21: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. approving Amendment No. 2 to
the HOME Cooperative Agreement between the Cities of Pasco, Kennewick
and Richland for Program Years 2011 -2013.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Pasco's share of federal HOME funds in 2013 is $145,256, approximately $435,000 will be available
over the next three years.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
V.
A. Pasco entered into a HOME consortium agreement with Richland and Kennewick in 1995,
making the city eligible for federal HOME funds. The populations of the individual cities
alone do not meet the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
minimum. By joining together in a consortium, funds are available to the three cities.
B. In June 2013, Amendment #1 was approved to incorporate an automatic renewal clause into
the HOME consortium agreement. The renewal clause requires the City of Richland as lead
representative for the consortium to notify participating jurisdictions of their opportunity to
not participate in each subsequent three -year period.
C. In June 2013, with aforementioned revisions to the agreement, Richland expressed their
willingness to continue as lead representative to the consortium, and the agreement was
renewed for the next three -year period (2014- 2016).
A. In December 2013, the City of Richland executed the grant agreement to receive 2013 funds
on contingent upon all three member cities agreement to reduce the administrative burden
and refrain from conducting activities other than down payment assistance.
B. Amendment 2 to the Cooperative Agreement revises Section 4 to define annual activities to
be performed by the member cities under this agreement as follows: 10% Administration,
15% Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO), and 75% to down payment
assistance and/or qualified CHDO project. No funds will be allocated for rehabilitation or
new construction projects.
C. HUD regulations and interpretations have evolved over the past several years. The HOME
Final Rule was revised in 2012, and again in 2013, increasing administrative responsibility at
the same time shortening deadlines for compliance and reducing funding. The HOME
Consortium is reluctant to use HOME funds to engage in construction rehabilitation and
infill activities with the increased risk for non - compliance.

01/21: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , revising the Temporary
Employee Wage Plan for calendar year 2014 and, further, authorize
publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
■ Approximately $4,000 annually
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The state minimum wage is recalculated each year in September as required by voter
approved Initiative 688, which was passed in 1998. The law requires that the state
minimum wage be adjusted each year according to the change in the US City Average
CPI for urban wage earners and clerical workers (CPI -W) during the 12 months
ending each August 31. Washington's minimum wage increased to $9.32 per hour as
of January 1, 2014 (from $9.19, the 2013 state minimum wage).
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The proposed 2014 wage scale reflects the entry level step and grade wage rate as
the state minimum wage requirement. Entry level rates for all grades were
adjusted upward (modestly) to maintain adequate separation between
classifications. Maximum step rates increased only slightly within the new scale
structure; increases are between $0.13/hour to $0.18/hour.
B) Staff recommends Council approval.
