FOR: City Council May 22, 2014
TO: Gary Crutchfi t anager Workshop Mtg.: 5/27/14
Regular Mtg.: 6/2/14
FROM Robert W. Gear, Fire Chief
SUBJECT: Annual Fire Department Performance Report
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Annual Fire Department Performance Report - Report
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
5/27: Discussion
6/2: MOTION: I move to accept the Pasco Fire Department 2013 Performance
Report.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) On February 21, 2006 the Pasco City Council adopted the performance standards
and objectives as outlined in the Performance Standards Resolution No. 2938 and,
as required by RCW 35.103.010.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The 2013 report shows the following:
1. Call processing continues to significantly exceed our 60- second goal.
2. Turnout times continue to decrease from 2012 to 2013 with our 90% time
being 2:14 seconds. This is a significant trend that we need to continue.
3. Travel times continue to be slightly over 6 minutes.
4. The total time from 911 call to arrival 90% of the time is an increase, from
11:03 in 2012 to 11:14 in 2013.
B) We met our full fireground staffing goal 67% of the time, which is a decrease in
the available staffing in the first 12 minutes as compared to our fireground
staffing in 2012. Regionalization of the emergency communications system,
particularly establishing a single dispatch center, will reduce the time required to
engage assistance from neighboring agencies; doing so will increase the
frequency of full response within the 12- minute goal.

Standards of Response Performance Measurement
Definition: Call processing is the
measurement of time from when
the 911 call is answered at the
Public Safety Answering Point
(PSAP) until appropriate units are
notified to respond. This
performance standard is not a
Washington State required
performance measurement but is
included here to more clearly
define the total time involved in a
response. The National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA)
standard for call processing is 60
seconds, 90% of the time.
The Franklin County Communications Center met the 60 second performance 40.4% of
the time. 90% of the dispatches were processed in 141 seconds or less.

Predictable Results
The 2013 call volume decreased approximately 1.3% under 2012. This can be directly
attributed to the reduction of ambulance services to Franklin County Fire District #3. In
2012 we provided fire and ambulance mutual aid to FD #3 197 times while in 2013 we only
assisted them 39 times.
Reducing the total response time, which is call processing, turnout and travel, continues
to be a goal of the fire department. Call processing continues to far exceed the national
standard of 60 seconds. Turnout times were reduced again following the previous year's
trends and are directly contributable to the efforts of the fire department staff. Travel times
for medical calls reduced a very small amount while fire travel times increased again
slightly.
Reducing travel times significantly will require the addition of a fourth fire station in
the south central area of the city. Modest reductions of travel time and improved
firefighter and civilian safety can be achieved with traffic signal pre - emption. This project
is moving into the implementation stages.
Assembling our full effective force for a building fire continues to be a problem. The
most significant issue is the use of two communications centers to dispatch the full
effective force and the time delays associated with this. The larger and more visible the fire
the more 911 calls generated and the longer it takes for a dispatcher to call the other
dispatch center and request units be dispatched.
Other major issues facing the fire department continue to be ongoing costs to maintain
and replace equipment and apparatus, and an aging work force.
The total costs to replace ambulance and fire apparatus continues to escalate, being
driven by safety and technology changes. To a great degree the safety and technology
changes results in a shorter service life as well as increased purchase costs. Fortunately,
apparatus replacement funding was put into place many years ago and has helped budget
for those expenses.
The second major issue, an aging work force, is having a significant impact on our daily
staffing through increased use of sick leave and disability. The addition of the variable "D"
shift has reduced the overtime costs however; it's a challenge to hire and train personnel in
a timely manner. Extensive use of the lateral hiring process allows us to utilize the
individual in 6 to 8 weeks compared to 6 months for an untrained individual.

Plan of Action
The city will continue to face challenges in order to maintain and /or reduce response
times. The expected growth in population and land area will impact our ability to maintain
response times. The following goals are developed to decrease the impact in a systematic
and fiscally responsible way.
Call Processing
• Maintain the goal of processing calls within 60 seconds 90% of the time.
• Implement automated dispatching as soon as practical.
Turnout Times
• Develop alternative methods of fire station alerting that provides for the
shortest alert processing.
• Continue the past efforts by firefighting staff to reduce turnout times.
• Continue efforts to provide reliable, updated, mobile data terminal maps.
• Proceed with "vehicle routing' upgrade on the MDT's to reduce or eliminate
the time spent looking at the wall map prior to responding.
Travel Time
• Plan for future station locations that cover concentrations of "yellow' and
"red" response areas.
• Implement Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) as a dispatch method to allow
for the dispatch of the closest available unit.
• Complete upgrade of intersection signals to provide emergency vehicle pre-
emption.
Full Effective Response Force
• Regionalize PSAP and communications centers to maximize automatic aid
responses.

5/22: Discussion
6/2: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. , revising the Water
Rights Fee and requiring assignment of water rights for development
outside the city and, further, authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
See below.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) The city has spent about 15 years working diligently with Ecology to erase the
water rights deficit created by the combined forces of "no new water rights" from
the state during a period of extraordinary growth in the community. With the
issuance of the Quad Cities Water Rights permit a few years ago, and the recent
commitment of 4,500 acre feet of new water rights from the state, the deficit is
now gone. However, continued growth will increase demand for more water
rights over time and the city may well need to acquire more water rights to
accommodate the future growth.
B) The city has, since 2002, required any new subdivision within the city to assign
any water rights associated with the subdivision site. A factor not addressed in the
2002 ordinance is the effect of individual connections to the city's system by
properties outside the city (i.e., the "donut hole "). Most homes built in the donut
hole are on property served by Franklin County Irrigation District (FCID) and,
therefore, require only the domestic (in- house) consumption; this factor is
generally fixed at three- tenths (0.3) acre feet per residence. If, however, such a
property is not served by FCID or other reliable irrigation source, it could
consume as much as 3.5 feet of water per acre for the irrigated portion of the
property. This circumstance would present an even greater effect on the city's
limited water rights. For example, a half -acre parcel irrigated with city potable
water would consume nearly one -acre foot of water rights, in addition to the
.3 /acre feet for the in -house use.
C) In addition to the exposure for the donut hole, there is growing expectation for
subdivisions in the northwest portion of the Urban Growth Area (UGA) but
outside the city. The city cannot place conditions on plats outside the city, but can
require compliance with its utility system rules. As new subdivisions occur
outside the city but within the UGA, the city's water system rules should include
the requirement to offset the expected effect on its limited water rights that would
occur as the associated new homes connect to the city's system. That offset could
occur in two ways. One is for the developer to assign any water rights associated
with the property to the city. The other method is to require each lot owner to pay
the fee in lieu of assignment of water rights at the time the home is built.
02
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The proposed ordinance creates the obligation for any residential connection
outside the city to pay for its reduction of the city's limited water rights. In
addition, it establishes the requirement that any subdivision outside the city
connecting to the city's water system likewise offset its effect on the city's water
rights, either by assignment of its water rights or payment of a fee in lieu of
assignment (or a combination of both).
B) The amount of the fee in lieu must reflect "market value" of the water rights being
consumed. The city recently contracted with the Pacific Northwest Project
(Dar yll Olsen, Ph.D.) to establish the current market value of water rights. Dr.
Olson's advice is to use $1,725 per acre foot (this is the price the city should
expect to pay if it is to acquire a water right). Thus, a typical single family
dwelling would be required to pay a fee of $517 (.3 acre feet x $1,725) for in-
house use. If irrigation is dependent on using the city's potable system, an
additional fee would be required; it would be calculated based on the lot size and
use an irrigation factor of 50% (assumes at least 50% of the lot can be irrigated).
As an example, a 10,000 square foot lot would require a fee of $690 for the
irrigation element (10,000 sf _ 43560 sf = 0.2296 ac x .50 = 0.1148 ac x 3.5 of =
.40 of x $1,725 of = $690).
C) The proposed ordinance will clearly establish the requirement that residential
connections to the city's water system outside the city compensate the system for
the consumption of limited water rights. It also establishes a current market value
for the fee. Staff recommends Council approval of the proposed ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Pasco, Washington, Creating a New
Section 13.16.012 "Connection Outside City Limits - Water Rights ";
amending Section 13.36.070 entitled "Assignment of Water Rights -
Extension of Water Services Beyond City Limits "; Creating a New Section
13.36.075 "Installation of Irrigation Lines - Extension of City Water Service
Beyond City Limits "; and amending Section 3.07.160 I) "Water Rights
Acquisition Fee - per acre."
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco requires as a condition of extension of City water service
beyond City limits that property owners or developers assign and transfer water rights to the City
that are appurtenant to such property, or alternatively to pay a water rights acquisition fee; and
WHEREAS, the rapid growth of the City has created increased demands for City water
not only within the City, but also within the developing area around the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has commissioned the preparation of a Water Resources
Plan for the purpose of establishing a Plan that most efficiently uses the City's existing water
resources, assets and its domestic and irrigation rights; and providing for water rights to be
included in all new developments brought into the City, as well as increase in the use of non-
potable water for irrigation, easing the demand for potable water use; and to provide for the
acquisition and more efficient use of water rights; and
WHEREAS, the City has been required to secure additional water rights and will need to
secure additional water rights to meet the present and anticipated future demand for potable
water; and
WHEREAS, the City has secured a Water Market Value /Acquisition
Cost Study demonstrating the increase of costs of water rights, together with the present
valuation to determine the costs of acquiring the necessary water rights required to serve fixture
development; and
WHEREAS, in order to insure that new water connections outside of the City limits do
not deplete the City's water rights and provide the City with adequate funds to purchase water
rights needed to supply water connections outside the City limits, the procedures and costs need
to be more fully defined; and
WHEREAS, the City has by its own investigation and demonstrated by the Water
Market Value /Acquisition Cost Analysis, determined that a significant difference in consumption
of potable water is evident between those residential connections that are served by an outside
irrigation water source and those that are not so served; therefore, it is reasonable to adopt
different water rights transfer or fee -in -lieu requirements for those new water users outside the
city who utilize potable water for irrigation and those who have an alternate source of irrigation
water available. NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That a new Section 13.16.012 entitled "Connection Outside City Limits - -
Water Rights" of the Pasco Municipal Code shall be and hereby is created and shall read as
follows:
13.16.012 CONNECTION OUTSIDE CITY LIMITS - - WATER RIGHTS. Any
application for a new water service connection to serve real property located outside the City
limits of the City of Pasco, except for those properties for which water rights, or payment in lieu
of water rights, have been received by the City pursuant to PMC 13.36.070, shall be conditioned
upon the transfer to the City of water rights associated with the property; or, if such water rights
are not available or are inadequate to meet the water needs of the property to be served, upon
payment to the City of a water right acquisition fee in lieu of transfer, determined as follows:
A) Amount of Water Rijzhts or Payment in Lieu. The amount of transferred water
rights or the fee in lieu of transfer pursuant to this section and Section 13.36.070 shall be
sufficient to serve the number of residential units supplied by the connection for in -house
domestic water service and irrigation water service sufficient to cover fifty percent (50 %) of the
lot or parcel of real property to be served by the water connection.
(1) Irrigation Water Service Available. If the property to be served by the
City is located within and served by the Franklin County Irrigation District, or other
public or private irrigation provider acceptable to the City for landscaping irrigation
purposes, the property shall continue to be served by the District or other irrigation
provider and the applicant for water service shall only be required to transfer three tenths
(0.3) acre -foot of water rights per residential unit or its equivalent, or provide a payment
in lieu for said quantity as directed by Subsection C below.
(2) Irrigation Water Service Unavailable. If the property to be served by the
City is not included within or served by the Franklin County Irrigation District or other
public or private irrigation water provider acceptable to the City for landscaping
irrigation purposes, the applicant for water service shall be required to transfer three
tenths (0.3) acre -foot of water rights per residential unit or its equivalent and in addition,
three and one -half (3.5) acre -feet per year per acre of irrigable land or fraction thereof, or
provide a payment in lieu for said quantity as provided in Section 3.07.160 I). The
requirement relating to irrigable land cannot be waived on the basis that the current
owner or developer does not plan to irrigate said land.
B) Excess Water Rights. To the extent the water rights associated with the subject
property exceed the anticipated water requirement for the subject property as determined
pursuant subsection A, the City in its sole discretion may require the owner(s) of the subject
property to transfer any amount of the excess water rights to the City and the City shall pay the
owner(s) of the excess water rights transferred to the City an amount representing the market
value of the excess water rights as determined by subsection C, subject to the right of
administrative appeal as provided in Chapter 1.17 PMC.
Water Rights — Page 2
C) Determination of Market Value for Payment in Lieu. The market value of water
rights shall be determined periodically by the City Engineer, but not less frequently than every
five (5) years, based upon a water rights market study or similar investigation of the fair market
value of perfected water rights that can be transferred to the City.
D) Security for Water Right Transfers. Because the process for transferring water
rights to the City may involve applications to the Department of Ecology or a water conservancy
board and are subject to various legal standards and factual investigations over which the City
has no control, the City shall require security in the form of a performance bond, deposit, or
assignment of account in an amount equal to the payment in -lieu transfer as provided in
Subsection A above, in the event that the water right transfer is not successful. In the event the
water right transfer is not approved, the security will be forfeited in satisfaction of the obligation
as provided in this Section.
E) Process. Costs and Forms Required for Transfer of Water Right . If there are
water rights appurtenant to the subject property, they shall be assigned and transferred to the City
using forms approved by the City Attorney together with the water rights transfer fee required by
PMC 3.07.160 1) for that purpose, including but not limited to the following: water right transfer
agreement, assignment of water right permit, conveyance of water right claim or certificate
(deed), application to change water rights, and bond, deposit, or assignment of account to secure
payment in lieu of water rights if transfer of the water rights is not approved. The applicant shall
pay the Water Rights Transfer Fee as provided in PMC 3.07.160 I), and shall provide the City
with documentation of the validity of the water right as requested by the City Engineer. If there
are no water rights appurtenant to the subject property, the applicant shall pay only the Water
Rights Acquisition Fee in lieu of water rights.
Section 2. That Section 13.36.070 entitled "ASSIGNMENT OF WATER RIGHTS -
- EXTENSION OF CITY WATER SERVICES BEYOND CITY LIMITS" of the Pasco
Municipal Code shall be and hereby is amended to read as follows:
13.36.070 ASSIGNMENT OF WATER RIGHTS - - EXTENSION OF CITY WATER
SERVICES BEYOND CITY LIMITS.
A) As a condition for the extension of a City water main beyond the City limits as a
primary source of City water for potable or irrigation used uses within a residential subdivision
or other develo ment, any property owner or developer of such property shall assign and transfer
to the City any perfeeted appliea certificate, permit or claim to a water right for the
withdrawal of ground or surface waters, or such other water rights as may be appurtenant to such
property including exempt well water rights, in the quanti ty and manner set forth in Section

C) Excess Water Rights. To the extent the water rights associated with the subject
property exceed the anticipated water requirement for the subject property. the City, in its sole
discretiom may require the owners of the subject property to transfer any amount of excess water
rights to the City and the City shall pay the owners of the excess water rights transferred to the
City an amount representing the market value of the excess water as determined pursuant to
PMC 13.16.012(C). subject to the right of administrative appeal as provided in Chapter 1.17
PMC. (Ord. 3795, 2006; Ord. 3547 Sec. 1, 2002.)
Section 3. That a new Section 13.36.075 entitled "Assignment of Water Rights - -
Installation of Irrigation Lines" of the Pasco Municipal Code shall be and hereby is adopted and
shall read as follows:
13.36.075 ASSIGNMENT OF WATER RIGHTS - - INSTALLATION OF
IRRIGATION LINES. As a condition of permitting the extension of City water main lines
beyond the City limits for the purpose of division or development of real property for residential
use not served by an existing irrigation water provider, the property owner or developer of such
property shall provide such necessary easements, as approved by the Director of Public Works,
or his designee, for the location of irrigation service components, and install irrigation service
main lines to provide the availability of irrigation water to each lot to be created by the division
or subdivision of land or benefitted by the extension of the City water mains prior to the approval
of any application for a new water service connection to the property.
In the event the irrigation water services are not available for connection to the irrigation
lines required above, such lines shall be tested, sealed, and buried with the ends clearly marked
to facilitate their connection when irrigation water services are available.
Section 4. That Section 3.07.160 I), entitled "WATER RIGHTS ACQUISITION

Capital Value Detennination•Recommendation•
• Given present water market conditions, the City of Pasco should expect to pay about
$1,725/acre -ft. (2014$), for full ownership of a surface water right from the Mainstem
Columbia-Snake River system. This would be an unencumbered water right not affected by
additional state mitigation conditions or other long-term lease arrangements; nor would it
be interruptive under a junior water right status?
• The $1,725/acre -ft. value also should be viewed as the upper -end value range for other
types of water rights, including long-term lease rights (permits) that would include some
direct capital values, with mitigation costs and/or OM &R costs (such as U.S. Bureau of
Reclamation costs).
• The most recent Columbia River water right issued by the Office of Columbia River - Ecology
retained a direct capital price of $1,500 /acre -ft. (2013$), with additional OCR mitigation costs
of $35 1acre -ft. per year, for 40 -years (constant 2013$). Taking into account private sector
discounting, this represents about another $650 /acre -ft. in net present value terms'
• All factors considered, Including new water supply cost estimates, it is recommended that
the direct net capital value included in future City water allocations be set at $1,725/acre-ft.
(2014$). This conveys future /near -term marginal water costs, given uncertainty surrounding
ownership- mitigation provisions and an unpredictable regulatory environment.
Water Market Value Review - Discussion:
Water market transactions effectively measure the marginal values or capital costs for
current - future water supply. There has been, and is, an active water market in the Mid.
Columbia Region, largely brought about by water code modifications to RCW 90.030.380
and the formation of Water Conservancy Boards (RCW 90.80), in the late 1990s and 2001;
and the growing demand for new water supply.
• In the Mid - Columbia Region, most of the water changettransfers of relevance have been
under the jurisdiction of the Water Conservancy Boards, and many transactions involve the
sale and purchase of water rights. This market activity defines the willingness -to -pay for
water, and is usually measured in terms of dollarslacre -ft. This value is the direct net value
for water, or the capital cost for water, for the City of Pasco.
During the 2010 -11 period, the Columbia -Snake River Irrigators Association ( CSRIA)
documented several water market transactions (see attached January 23, 2012, Technical
Memorandum). From this review, it could be observed that the overall range of water
market values was about $1,000.1,5001acre•ft., depending on water right condition. The
CSRIA viewed $1,250 to be a reasonable mid -point value estimate.
2 Water rights regulated under WAC 173 -563 are interruptive under extreme low flows, but RCW 90.90 does
provide for partial mitigation for interruptive, junior water rights.
a This present value could be financially acknowledged as either part of the direct capital costs or assessed as part
of the long -term annual 0 &MR associated with the water right ownership and water distribution.
21 Page
More recently in 2012.2014, the CSRIA and local Water Conservancy Boards have managed
or facilitated several water market transactions, including some of those identified in Table
1. Most of these transactions have involved agriculture4o- agriculture water purchases,
where the buyer has usually "moved the water" to a higher value crops and engaged in
high - efficiency, water spreading practices.` For irrigated agriculture, the marginal value of
water is highly dependent on the annual direct net returns to irrigated land, capitalized over
time.'
For the municipal sector, the marginal value of water is often a function of the marginal
value of water for Irrigated agriculture, where available. The marginal value of municipal
water supply is equal to or greater than the marginal value of agricultural water.
• In Table 1, the marginal value (willingness -to -pay) for several 2012 -2014 water market
transactions amounts to about $1,500/acre-ft. This is for surface water transactions within
the Mainstem or tributary water moving into the Mainstem. The transactions have been for
both permanent capital acquisition and long -term leases (20- years).
The CSRIA also has made a recent "Markets for Water" solicitation for Mainstem- tributary
surface water rights. The public solicitation documented a willingness -to -pay at
$1,750 /acre -ft., for April 2014 (see attached CSRIA "Markets for Water" solicitation). The
results from this RFP yielded little available water, and identified market concerns that the
current water code provisions related to water right relinquishment would constrict existing
water rights subject to "de facto" relinquishment (under the administrative adjudication
process involved in water right changettransfers).
• The most recent Columbia River irrigation water right issued by the Office of Columbia
River - Ecology revealed a indirect capital price of $1,500 1acre -ft. (2013$), with additional OCR
mitigation costs of $351acre -ft. per year, for 40 -years (constant 2013$). Taking into account
private sector discounting, this represents about another $600. 700 /acre -ft in net present
value terms'
The OCR- Ecology also is allocating new Columbia River Mainstem municipal- industrial
(M &I) water rights under long -term lease agreements with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation
(Lake Roosevelt release water under RCW 90.90 structure). Per the lease terms, the new
permits are roughly equivalent to about $700 /acre -ft., capital value (PV). New applications
are being received by OCR- Ecology.
Where the new M &I applications can be reassigned and transferred, there exists some
capability to acquire a permit (application) under a reduced capital cost, and pay the
associated lease costs over time. As depicted in Table 2, this scenario would be about
This practice is best described at CSRIA.org, at "Conservation O &M Program Implementation."

6 This present value could be financially acknowledged as either part of the direct capital costs or received as part
of the long -term annual 0 &MR associated with the water right ownership and water distribution. Tables 2 and 3
provide ranges for capitalized and annualized values.

$1,300, with capital and lease present value included. The advantage here is that the permit
(application) is immediately secured without having to enter into the new permit application
process.
Table 1 also includes some limited transactions for groundwater and groundwater -to-
surface water transactions. This typically involves relatively small water quantities (Qa) and
unique physical circumstances. The documented transactions here reflect about
$2,500 /acre -ft.
• In the tributaries, the state has recently introduced some water banking transfers directed
toward exempt well and small residential developments, displaying costs above
$2,500 1acre -ft. But these "water banks" are highly regulated markets, invoke hyper -
regulatory burdens, and are becoming less desirable for water purchasers and regulators 7
Separate from water right market transactions, replacement value or alternative costs also
determine marginal water values —for inclusion in benefit -cost analyses and least cost
water supply demand curves. Currently, Office of Columbia River -WA and the Water
Resources Department -OR are reviewing a Water Release Contract tied to the construction
of a new British Columbia hydro -water supply project (FortisBC, Similkameen Project). The
present capital cost estimate for new water releases, for water right mitigation under RCW
90.90, is about $1,725.1,750 /acre -ft.e
The impact of changing regulatory circumstances should be acknowledged. Given a long-
term marginal cost perspective, there is some risk to taking for granted that the current —
reasonably favorable — regulatory climate will remain unaltered. State administrative
changes, policy changes, and/or future litigation actions could affect new water supplies
and the current process for water right changeltransfers. This risk factor would argue for
setting the City's capital costs at the higher end of the market value range.
• All factors considered, including new water supply cost estimates, it is recommended that
the direct net capital value included in futurelnear -term City water allocations be set at
$1,725 /acre-ft. (2014$). This conveys futurelnear -term marginal water values (costs), given
uncertainty surrounding ownership- mitigation provisions and an unpredictable regulatory
environment.
Other Related Water Transfer- Allocation Factors:
• Future water values are difficult to predict, but some of the most recent estimates for the
real escalation of water values (40 -year period) are at about 2.5% annually, in real dollars'
This suggests that future water supply costs will "lead" general inflation costs.
The Benton County Commission has rejected the water banking scheme applied in the Upper Yakima River Basin.
8 This Water (Storage) Release Contract is subject to further review and environmental assessment, but the
$1,725 /acre -ft. value has been accepted by CSRIA members for new, large blocks of water right mitigation water.
Real escalation rates are escalation rates above nominal inflation. The above real escalation rate was applied to
the benefit-cost analysis for the Odessa Subarea surface water supply review (CSRIA.org), and for the Lake Powell
Pipeline project in Southern Utah (Utah Dept. of Water Resources, 2012 -13, web site).

• Transaction costs related to water right purchases and changeltransfers vary greatly.
These costs include due diligence to verify the right eligible for change /transfer, public
notice and administrative processing fees, and legal fees (if any). The predominant cost
range is about $1,000 to $12,000 per changeltransfer. Buyer transaction costs have been
reduced by requiring the seller to complete water right due diligence verification, by the
greater review standardization provided by the Water Conservancy Boards, and by the
availability of numerous water right consultants. Most transfers do require annual
consumptive quantity (ACQ) analyses, per RCW 90.03.380. Transaction costs are properly
allocated to capital costs,
• The water duties (consumptive use) applicable for general residential and secondary
(irrigation) are roughly within the 260.350 gpd/household range for potable water, and at
least 800 gpd/household with minimal residential irrigation needs (exempt well "six- pack"
example). Water duties for turf in the Mid - Columbia area are at about 3.50.3.80 acre - ftJacre,
with application efficiency losses included 10 Other, local water purveyor irrigation
allocations (for turf) are based on about 3.5 acre - ftJacre —such as allotments by the
Kennewick Irrigation District and Badger Mt. Irrigation District.
• For Pasco, future residential water allocation estimates should be based on the City's
current empirical water use data, tempered by prospective efficiency improvements for
potable and residential irrigation use. But for general illustrative purposes, future capital
costs for residential allocations —not including any treated water costs, delivery system
costs, or basic 08,M- -could be within the below range:

As a capital cost, this cost could be included within a new impact fee. Also, all future water
allocations should include metering estimates at the mainline, for irrigation purposes
(where secondary distributions lines are installed).
ra Water duties for turf irrigation are based on AgWeatherNet.com, WSU, and Washington Irrigation Guide, WSU,
estimates; and water application efficiencies used by the Benton - Franklin County Water Conservancy Boards and
Conservation District.

Technical Memorandum
DATE: January 23, 2012
TO: Interested Parties
FROM: Danyll Olsen, Ph.D.
Regional Planner/Resource Economist
SUBJECT: Estimated Economic Value -Water Market Price:
Irrigation (other) Water Subject to Columbia -Snake River System
Operations and Inter - Related Tributary Sources
The below information is supplemental to previous water market value analyses
conducted by CSRIA.
The CSRIA has previously reviewed water market transactions in 2008, 2009, and 2010
(in more detailed technical reviews). This valuation is based on more recent 2010 -2011
water market activity, and it reflects the value of water placed into a market sale (both
capital and annualized values).
The below observations are approximately equivalent - -in context, substance, regional
market relationship, and water right change /transfer capabilities —thus appropriate for
inclusion within this water market offers /transactions review:
1. In 2011, Stemilt Ice Harbor Farms operations finalized a water right purchase
from upriver tributaries to the Lower Snake River, for about 100 acre -ft., for
$1,500 /acre -ft. (capital value).
2. In 2011, The Port of Walla Walla and WA State Dept. of Ecology offered a
conditional, annual lease agreement (water from the McNary Pool) for about
2,000 -6,000 acre -ft., for $105 /acre -ft.; or about $1,090 /acre -ft. capital value.
Offers are under review at this time for a 15 -year lease agreement.
3. In 2011, the WA State Dept. of Ecology and Pitney Farms (with lenders) finalized
a water right sale from an upper tributary to the mainstem Columbia River for
about 600 acre -ft., for $1,300 /acre -ft. (capital value).
4. In 2011, Grimmway Farms accepted a Purchase and Sales Agreement (PSA)
prepared by Columbia -Snake River Irrigators Association (CSRIA), for a
reactivated water right application (food processing purpose), for use along the
mainstem Columbia River for 500 acre -ft., for $1,000 /acre -ft.

1)
5. In 2011, the Columbia -Snake River Irrigators Association ( CSRIA) estimated
mainstem Columbia River water market value(s) at about $1,500 /acre -ft., in
assessing irrigated land values for the CSRIA Odessa Subarea (see CSRIA
Economics and Technical Review, CSRIA.org). The CSRIA Review was
prepared for the Adams County Commission and the Columbia River Office, WA
State Dept. of Ecology. The final land value included in the CSRIA review was
set at $4,250 per acre (per regional market clearing prices 2007 - 2010), with 2.5
acre -ft. /acre, or about $1,700 per acre -ft. (including the value of water distribution
systems on the ground).
6. In 2011, the T &R Farms provided the CSRIA with a standing water right
purchase offer of $1,400 /acre -ft. (mainstem Snake - Columbia River system and
tributaries), for up to 1,000 acre -ft. A previous offer for a mainstem Columbia
River water right was accepted by a buyer (about 100 acre -ft.), but the sale was
interrupted by administrative actions taken by WRP- Ecology to relinquish the
right. In 2010, a small scale acre -ft. sale was conducted at $1,500 /acre -ft.
7. In 2011, West Enterprises provided the CSRIA with a standing water right
(application) sales offer of $1,000 /acre -ft. ( mainstem Snake - Columbia River
system), for up to 1,250 acre -ft. (purpose of use limited to food processing).
8. In 2011, some reactivated mainstem Columbia River applications (municipal and
industrial purpose only) were placed on the market for $300 -500 /acre -ft., for
about 1,000 acre -ft. The City of Pasco has informally agreed to a PSA at
$300 /acre -ft. (public sector time value and amortization period).
9. In 2011, the new Columbia River mainstem municipal and industrial water rights
(issued by CRO- Ecology) carry provisions for annual USBR O &M costs at
$35 /acre -ft. In capital value terms, this amounts to about $680 /acre -ft.
10. In 2010 -I1, a short-term, water lease agreement was in place for about 175 acres
(wine grapes) within the McNary-John Day Pools, for $35 /acre -ft. In capital
value terms, this amounts to about $360 /acre -ft. (commercial amortization rates
over 15 years).
Given the above market sales /transactions data for 2011, the capital value of an acre -ft. of
water -- equivalent to Columbia -Snake River use - -is estimated to range between $1,000 to
$1,500 /acre -ft. A reasonable mid -point value would be about $1,250 /acre -ft.
In annualized value terms, $1,250 (capital value) is about $120 (15 years commercial
amortization at 5% interest/discount rate), or about $120 /acre -ft, on an annualized basis,
per an annual lease (or annual Trust Water Program donation) value. These values also
are consistent with other water market sales negotiations within the Lower Snake River
and McNary -John Day Pools area —as well as reflective of value levels within Eastern
WA more generally.
Technical Memorandum
Markets for Water
The Columbia -Snake River Irrigators Association (CSRIA) is actively seeking
additional water rights for mainstem Columbia -Snake River irrigation operations.
Parties interested in and capable of selling state - issued water rights should meet
the following criteria:
• Privately held or ownership verified surface water rights.
• The water right is perfected (permit - certificate stage) and has been put to
verifiable beneficial use.
• The water right holder is responsible to verify the right for formal change -
transfer under RCW 90.03.380 criteria; water right must be eligible for
change- transfer to irrigation purposes.
• The water right amount is greater than 200 acre -ft.
• The water right diversion point is from a surface water tributary stream to
the Columbia -Snake River system; or directly within the mainstem system.
• The market sale price for a transferrable right in good standing is $1,750
per acre -ft., non - negotiable.
• Long -term lease agreements will be considered for an initial $160 /acre-
ft. /year, with a minimum lease period of 15 years and an annual escalation
rate of 2.5% (non - negotiable).
Willing sellers should call 509 - 783 -1623 and be prepared to identify the actual
water right tracking number and specific features of the right, including purpose
of use, period of use, and authorized gpm -csf, and acre -ft., acres (if irrigation
right). All information received is considered non - proprietary.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Counci May 28, 2014
TO: Gary Crutch r Manager Regular Mtg.: 6/2/14
FROM: Rick White,
Community & Economic Development Director
SUBJECT: Recovery of Abatement Costs for 114 N 41b Avenue (MF# LIEN 2014 004)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Recovery of Abatement Costs — Proposed Resolution
lI. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
6/2: MOTION I move to approve Resolution , assigning a special assessment as a tax
lien against 114 North 4th Avenue for emergency abatement costs resulting
from the structure fire in August of 2013.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$27,312.30 abatement amount; lien filing fees of $144; interest on the unpaid abatement amount
and possible penalties of $1,000 to the Abatement Fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. On August 13, 2013, the old Liberty Theater located at 114 North 4th Avenue was
destroyed by fire, leaving elevated portions of the structure in danger of collapse and
without ground support adjacent to City utilities, sidewalks and the public street.
B. The City declared the premises unsafe and initiated action to immediately mitigate the
dangerous and unsafe conditions, as provided in Pasco Municipal Code Section
11.02.070 (2) Summary Abatement.
C. As a result, the City, through the application of the Summary Abatement procedure, hired
a contractor to remove the elevated unsafe portions of the building and make repairs to
the adjacent portions of the utilities, sidewalk and street to make them safe and passable.
D. The City incurred a cost of $29,224.30 for the abatement of the damaged and dangerous
structure and reinforcement of the adjacent street, sidewalk and utilities.
E. In November of 2013, the Pasco Code Enforcement Board ordered the abatement costs to
be paid within 120 days or a penalty of $100 per day for 10 days would also be assessed
against the property.
F. On March 17, 2014 Council conducted a public hearing on the assignment of a special
lien against 114 North 4th Avenue for recovery of the abatement costs, and was
interested in determining if interest rates on the unpaid balance of the abatement costs
were required at the statutory default rate of 12 %, and if the penalty imposed by the Code
Board was appropriate for reconsideration.
G. The City Attorney has provided an opinion on the interest rate that responds to Council's
concern and concludes that adoption of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of
Dangerous Buildings established an interest rate of 7% on the unpaid balance of the
abatement lien.
H. The Code Enforcement Board has reconsidered their penalty for the abatement and
determined that it could be held in abeyance until December 31, 2014 — given the
complexities of dealing with the insurers for the structure.
8(c)
I. Council considered the assessment of a special lien at the May 27, 2014 Workshop and
concurred with its assessment against the property, imposition of an interest rate of 7% as
allowed through the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings and a
reduction of $1,932 of the total abatement costs for work to restore public infrastructure
adjacent 114 North 4th Avenue.
V. DISCUSSION:
A. A portion of the total cost of the abatement resulted from repairs to the public street and
sidewalk system from the fire- fighting efforts. City Council considered it appropriate to
deduct $1,932 of the total abatement costs for repair of public infrastructure though the
repairs were needed only because of the fire. The deduction results in a total abatement
cost of $27,312.30 versus the previous total of $29,244.30.
B. Although the property has an existing lien filed by the City in 2013 for recovery of the
abatement costs, Council has the option of assessing the charges against the property as a
special lien. This allows the City to place a tax lien on the property, making the
abatement costs due and payable at the same time as the annual property taxes.
C. The special lien method is a more certain way to guarantee the reimbursement to the
Abatement Fund as it places the City's lien in the same position as unpaid taxes. It also
allows foreclosure upon the property if taxes are delinquent. The special lien would also
prevent the current owner from selling the property on a contract to avoid paying the lien.
D. Staff has prepared the proposed resolution for action to reflect Council direction on the
following elements:
Assignment of a special assessment as a tax lien against the property;
Total abatement costs ($27,312.30 plus lien filing fees of $144) of $27,456.30 to be
recovered from the property owner; and
Annualized rate of interest of 7% commencing on the filing date of the special
assessment lien.

determined that the penalty should be held in abeyance until December 31, 2014; and
WHEREAS, no payment for the abatement or penalties has been received by the City for the
property at 114 North 4'" Avenue, NOW, THEREFORE,

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
5/27: Discussion
612: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. establishing a Water
Resources Action Plan.
HI. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Council adopted the Water Resources Management Plan in April and directed that
an action plan be prepared for Council approval. The purpose of the action plan is
to ensure active pursuit of the objectives outlined in the Management Plan, all of
which collectively aim to optimize the city's use of its limited water rights for
continued growth and development of the city.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) The action plan reflected in the proposed resolution addresses the key categories
of recommendations within the Management Plan and focuses on those that can
reasonably be accomplished within the next two years. The most notable of the
first -year effort will be the feasibility of extending irrigation water to the
Riverview Heights/Desert Plateau neighborhoods; if that can be accomplished,
such an effort could restore an estimated 500 acre feet of potable water rights for
the city water system. Over the second year, the most important effort will be the
perfection of all irrigation rights as well as the transfer of the 935 acre feet of
irrigation rights to the potable system.
B) Staff recommends Council approval of the proposed action plan.

moratorium on the submittal of subdivision applications for properties zoned R -2,
R -3 and R -4.
III. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A. The R -2, R -3 and R -4 zoning districts were established primarily for the
development of multi - family housing. These zoning districts are used to provide
transition areas between low - density residential areas and more intense land uses.
B. Although not specifically intended for single - family development the multi-
family zoning districts have permitted single - family homes on individual lots
since the inception of zoning in Pasco. Single - family lots within the R -2, R -3 and
R -4 zones can be a minimum of 5,000 square feet.
C. A developer (Hayden Homes) recently applied for an R -2 rezone for a parcel of
land (Three Rivers West) that is intended to be developed for single - family homes
only. The R -2 zoning was requested on a portion of the developer's parcel to
allow the platting of single - family lots as small as 5,000 square feet. Based on the
designations of the Comprehensive Plan the rezone was granted earlier this year.
D. In addition to applying for multi - family rezoning to allow smaller lots sizes for
single - family development builders have the option of platting under the "Planned
Density Development" standards which allows the developer to average lot sizes.
Under this process some lots can be smaller than the underlying zoning and others
are required to be larger while the over -all average lot size must conform to the
zoning. This process allows for flexibility in the development process and
encourages the development of a variety of housing types to better serve
community needs. Although this process is permitted in the code it is not
required.
E. Applying multi - family zoning to single - family developments circumvents the
Planned Density process and could lead to a series of single - family developments
with only 5,000 square foot lots.
F. The Planning Commission discussed this issue during their May 15`" meeting and
recommended a moratorium be established on platting applications within the R-
2, R -3 and R -4 districts. The moratorium will provide the city time to study the
matter and develop solutions to prevent the possible abuse of the zoning process
related to the creation of subdivision lots.
jbqz
V. DISCUSSION:
A. If the Council agrees with the Planning Commission's recommendation the
attached Resolution could be used to establish the recommended moratorium.
Following the establishment of a moratorium the Council must hold a public
hearing within 60 days to make specific findings that either justifies the
continuance of the moratorium or the cancellation thereof.
B. Although the proposed Resolution would establish a moratorium on platting in
multi- family zoning districts for six months, it is stafrs intent to bring back to
Council any applicable revisions to the zoning regulations by September of this
year.
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION of the City of Pasco, Washington, declaring a
moratorium prohibiting platting within the Residential Two, Three and Four
Zoning Districts within the City and setting public hearing thereon.
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco Zoning Ordinance contains R -2, R -3 and R -4 zoning
districts primarily intended for multiple family dwellings with a range of minimum densities; and
WHEREAS, those Zoning Districts also permit single - family dwellings on individual
lots provided said lots are at least 5,000 square feet in size; and
WHEREAS, developers often build to the minimum standard; and
WHEREAS, the creation of 5,000 square foot lots without forethought to building
design, subdivision integration with existing and adjacent neighborhoods and overall acceptance
by the community has the potential to harm the residents of Pasco; and
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco Zoning Ordinance permits, but does not require, the use
of the "Planned Density Development" process which allows an overall housing density based
on the underlying zoning requirements to promote creativity in the design and layout of
subdivisions for the development of a variety of housing types to better serve the citizens of
Pasco; and
WHEREAS, the City intends to review and if appropriate develop zoning and land use
regulations within the R -2, R -3 and R -4 Zoning Districts to accommodate smaller lots and at the
same time address issues related to subdivisions developed to the minimum standard without
forethought or consideration of adjoining neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, Washington law authorizes the City to adopt a moratorium with a public
hearing which must be held within sixty (60) days of the date of the adoption of a moratorium;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the City that
a moratorium be established on platting within R -2, R -3 and R -4 Zoning Districts to provide the
City an opportunity to study and develop regulations for minimum lot sizes for single family
dwellings within said Zoning Districts; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Moratorium Established. A moratorium is imposed prohibiting the
acceptance of subdivision applications within the R -2, R -3 and R -4 Zoning Districts.
Section 2. Term of Moratorium. The moratorium imposed by this Resolution shall
become effective on the date hereof, and shall continue in effect for an initial period of six (6)
months, unless repealed, extended, or modified by the City Council after a public hearing and the
Resolution - 1
entry of appropriate findings of fact as required by RCW 35A.63.220, provided, however, that
the moratorium shall automatically expire upon the effective date of zoning regulations adopted
by the City Council to address the minimum lot sizes for single family dwellings within the R -2,
R -3 and R -4 Zoning Districts within the City of Pasco.
Section 3. Public Hearin e. A public hearing shall be scheduled for 7:00 p.m., or as
soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, on the 16th day of June, 2014, in the City Council
Chambers of the Pasco City Hall, where it will hear evidence and consider the comments and
testimony of those wishing to speak at such public hearing regarding the moratorium.
Section 4. Preliminary Findings. Following the public hearing, the City Council
shall adopt Findings of Fact justifying its actions, and determine whether a work plan is
necessary to address the issues involving the platting of property for single family dwellings
within the R -2, R -3 and R -4 Zoning Districts and extending the moratorium to complete a work
plan and implementation of appropriate regulations.
Section 5. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect upon its
passage and signature below.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington, at its regular meeting
dated this day of 2014.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 15, 2014
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Rick White, Director
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Minimum Lot Size in Multi - Family Zones
The R -2, R -3 and R -4 zoning districts in Pasco are primarily intended for development of multiple family
dwellings. Each of these zoning districts is intended to allow a graduation of density from lower density
neighborhoods. For multiple - family dwellings, the minimum lot size is based on a density of 1 unit for
5,000 square feet of lot area in the R -2 zone, 1 unit for each 3,000 square feet of lot area in the R -3 zone
and 1 unit for each 1,500 square feet of lot area in the R -4 zoning district. Each of these zoning districts
also provides the same standard for minimum lot sizes for single - family dwellings at 5,000 square feet for
single - family lots.
The City also has a development tool titled "Planned Density Development'. A planned density
development allows a developer to average the residential density provided in the underlying zoning
district and use a flexible approach to the number of dwelling units that will be platted. This allows the
developer to use creativity in the design of parcels of property for residential uses and encourages
development of a variety of housing types to better serve the citizens and better respond to market
conditions. Although the Planned Density Development tool is allowed, it is not required. This could
permit development of single family lots with a minimum size of 5,000 square feet without a benchmark
for a creative and flexible product. For example, a development could be proposed for a series of single
family lots — each of which is exactly 5,000 square feet and be acceptable under the existing zoning
provisions. This provision in the R -2, R -3 and R4 zones for minimum lot size for single - family homes at
5,000 square feet, allows the potential for abuse when applied in a non - comprehensive manner, especially
when designed to maximize developer profit or minimize overall integration into the community.
The question before the Planning Commission tonight is: Does the Planning Commission wish to
recommend to City Council that the regulations for minimum lot sizes in the R -2, R -3 and R4 zones be
reviewed and addressed to minimize the potential for abuse?
If the Commission feels that the minimum lot size regulations need to be reviewed, staff will bring that
recommendation to City Council. Staff would also recommend that a moratorium on platting within the
R -2, R -3 and R -4 Districts be established to provide certainty that future development does not "vest'
under the existing rules for minimum lot sizes.
Suggested Motion:
I move that the Planning Commission recommend to City Council the review of the minimum
single family dwelling lot sizes in the R -2, R -3 and R -4 Zoning Districts.
Planning Commission Minutes
5/15/2014
OTHER BUSINESS:
A. Memorandum Minimum Lot Size in Multi - Family Zones
Chairman Cruz read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, discussed the staff
memorandum regarding minimum lot sizes in multi- family zones. He explained that the
R -2, R -3 and R -4 zones in Pasco are primarily intended for multi - family dwellings;
however, each of these zones has a minimum lot size for single - family dwellings of 5,000
square feet. The City also has a development tool title "Planned Density Development"
where developers can use some creativity as long as the overall density of the zone isn't
exceeded in determining the lot size of a particular development. The use of the "Planned
Density Development process is not mandatory. It was noted in discussions with
potential developers that the provisions in the R -2, R -3 and R -4 zones for 5,000 square
foot minimum lot sizes could be abused in that subdivisions could be developed meeting
the code but possibly done in a manner that would not be of best interest to the
community as a whole. This could create "cookie- cutter" subdivisions where every lot is
exactly the same size with absolutely no forethought for integration into the community
but instead designed to maximize developer profit.
The question Mr. White presented before the Planning Commission was: Does the
Planning Commission wish to recommend to City Council that the regulations for
minimum lot sizes in the R -2, R -3 and R -4 zones be reviewed and addressed to minimize
the potential for abuse? If the Commission felt that the minimum lot size regulations
need to be reviewed, staff would bring that recommendation to City Council and would
also recommend that a moratorium on platting within the R -2, R -3 and R -4 Districts be
established to provide certainty that future development does not "vest" under the
existing rules for minimum lot sizes.
All of the Commissioners voiced support for recommending to City Council the review of
the minimum single - family dwelling lot sizes in the R -2, R -3 and R -4 Zoning Districts as
explained by staff.

2. Dual RT SB Lanes - Road 68 — Figure 3
3. Dual RT SB Lanes - Road 68 — Professional Services Agreement Summary
4. Dual RT SB Lanes - Road 68 — Scope of Fees
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
5/27: Discussion
6/02: MOTION: I move to approve the Professional Services Agreement with
Kittelson & Associates authorizing design services with respect to
Dual RT SB Lanes - Road 68 project in the amount of $280,000,
and further, authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
STP Funds — $242,200
Arterial Street Fund — $37,800
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Road 68 Corridor is a significant corridor in the city. It serves the city's highest
concentration of commerce. Approximately 48,000 to 50,000 cars travel daily through
the intersection of Road 68 and Burden Blvd.
B) In September 2012, the City Council adopted the Road 68 Corridor Study findings that
identified safety and capacity constraints. The study identified a number of short term (0-
5 year) and long term (5 -20 year) improvements to address current and future
transportation and safety needs.
C) Staff used the findings and recommendations to apply for available grants. To date, the
City has allocated $748,550 in STP Funds and has been awarded $500,000 in HSIP
Safety Grants for design and construction of Phase II Improvements. Construction has
started and is expected to be complete in Fall 2014.
D) The proposed design is for the next phase of Road 68 Improvements, principally the long
desired dual right turn lanes to WB I -182.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) In December of 2013, Staff issued a Request for Proposal for the design of Dual Right
Turn South Bound Lanes - Road 68 project. The City received three proposals from three
consultants. In January 2014, Staff conducted interviews. Kittleson & Associates was
selected to be most qualified to complete the design of this project by the interview panel.
B) The project will include the following elements in the design.
a. There is a significant level of effort required for an interchange modification and
environmental process at freeways within WSDOT and FHWA jurisdictions.
b. Interchange modification approval process through WSDOT & FHWA.
c. Traffic Modeling and environmental process for dual right turns.
d. Bid ready design to build the roadway to accommodate the dual right turn lanes
and the possible triple right turn lane at Road 68 and interchange signal.
e. Complete a traffic study and modeling for improvements at the west bound to
north bound at Road 68 intersection to increase capacity, improve safety and
reduce weaving between the interchange and Burden Blvd. intersections.
f. Start the dual right turn lane through Road 68 at Burden Blvd. intersection as
shown in Reference 2. This will allow a triple left turn southbound onto Road 68
during high traffic or events from Gesa Stadium, TRAC and soccer complex.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Counci May 19, 2014
TO: Gary Crutch , i Manager Workshop Mtg.: 5/27/14
FROM: Stan Strebel, D puty City Manager Regular Mtg.: 6/2/14
SUBJECT: New Police Facility Design, Phase 2
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. New Police Facility Design, Phase 2 — Design Cost Feasibility Report (Phase 1)
2. New Police Facility Design, Phase 2 — Professional Services Agreement
Summary
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
5/27: Discussion
6/2: MOTION: I move to approve the Professional Services Agreement (Phase 2)
with Terence L. Thornhill, Architect, for the new Police Facility and,
further, authorize the City Manager to sign the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Phase 2: $550,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) In April, the Council approved Phase I of a Professional Services Agreement with
Terence L. Thornhill, to undertake a design cost feasibility report for the proposed
new police facility. At a cost of $24,000, the study was intended to identify size
requirements, construction methods and strategies and preliminary siting
information in order to determine if the City's goal of developing the new facility
within the targeted $8 million total budget was feasible.
B) Over the last several weeks, the architect and staff have met on several occasions
to complete and review the information developed from Phase 1. A summary of
the architect's findings and cost estimates are attached. The project appears to be
feasible within the targeted budget at the low range estimate while at the high
range, costs could be over by an estimated $500,000; however, the design process
can identify possible bid alternatives to consider as contingency when actual bids
are received. If Council is satisfied with the findings and recommendations,
approval of Phase 2, including complete design, bid preparation and construction
management services is the next step to have the project bid and under
construction by early next year.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Staff recommends acceptance of the Phase 1 work and approval of the agreement
for Phase 2 services.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council
TO: Gary Crutchfi anager
FROM: Stan Strebel, D, putt' City Manage
SUBJECT: Police Station Financing w
I. REFERENCE(S):
1. Police Station Financing - Debt Schedule
May 20, 2014
Workshop Mtg.: 5/27/14
Regular Mtg.: 6/2/14
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
5/27: Discussion
6/2: MOTION: I move to authorize staff to prepare for the issuance of bonds to
finance the new Police Community Services Building.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated $8 million in bonds financed with Public Safety Sales Tax Revenue
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A) Prior to voter approval of the Public Safety Sales Tax (PSST) in 2011, the City
indicated that its priorities for the use of the sales tax proceeds, if approved by voters,
would be to increase police expenditures for gang- related crime, and to provide for
replacement housing for Municipal Court and the Police Department.
B) The City's revenue stream from the approved .3 -cent sales tax is currently
approximately $1,150,000 annually. The tax is authorized for 30- years, or through
2041.
C) In order to project the City's ability to issue debt for the Police Facility, to repay the
cost of the Court facility and to continue funding of the Street Crimes Unit, all from
the PSST Revenue stream, staff prepared a spreadsheet to assess different revenue
and debt scenarios (attached).
D) The estimate for 15 -year financing assumes the City's AA- bond rating and "all in"
total cost of interest at 2.79 %, with a total interest expense of $2.910 million over the
life of the debt. For comparison, 20 -year financing would increase total cost of
interest to 3.4% with interest expense of $4.157 million over the 20 -year life of the
bonds.
V. DISCUSSION:
A) Using a conservative approach (1% annual growth in sales tax receipts and 2%
annual inflation factor for Street Crimes Unit expense), the PSST is sufficient to
retire an $8 million bond in 15 years at current interest rates. Using the 15 -year
option not only minimizes interest expense over the life of the debt, the earlier payoff
will make the PSST receipts available for other public safety expenses at least five
years sooner than would a traditional 20 -year bond issue.
B) The Municipal Court project consumed $3.7 million total, of which only $1.6 million
was paid by PSST receipts thus far. In order to avoid debt (and interest expense) on
the Municipal Court project, the general fund contributed the remaining $2.1 million.
That figure could be recovered for the general fund through the PSST receipts over
the next three years. However, rather than delay the Police Station project for another
three years (to do so would significantly increase the likelihood of higher interest
rate /cost for bonded debt), it is recommended that the general fund contribution be
recovered over a longer period of time by use of any PSST receipts in excess of the
annual debt service payment for the Police Station. Thus, as illustrated in the
spreadsheet, the general fund should be made whole by 2034 (probably sooner, given
the conservative nature of the projections).
