III. FISCAL IMPACT: NONE I V. HIST ORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A. When the Columbia East # 2 subdivision was developed in 1974 a utility easement was established between Lots 6 and 7 to provide for a future utility connection from Commercial Avenue to the west side of Highway 395 . In 1993 Lots 6 and 7 were sold to Jim 's Pacific Garage with a statement in the purchase and sales agreement indicating the City would vacate the utility easement. A replacement easement was provided on the southerly boundary of Lot 7 but the original easement was never vacated. In 1993 the City issu ed a building permit for the Jim 's Pacific Garage building on top of the easement. B. The issue of a building being located on a utility easement was recently discovered as the result of a permit application for another structure on the Jim 's Pacific Garage property. To correct the problem staff is recommending the Council set a hearing to consider vacating of the easement. With the replacement easement located completely on Lot 7 there is long longer a need for the original easement. C. The petition requires the City Council to fi x a public hearing to consider the v acatio n request. The earliest regular City Council meeting av ailable for a public h earing, which provides the statutory 20 -day hearing notice, i s February 2, 2015. 3(t) Overview Map Item: Easement Vacation Applicant: City of Pasco File#: VAC2014-010 Vicinity Map Item: Easement Vacation Applicant: City of Pasco File #: V AC20 14-01 0 RESOLUTION NO . .301 ;2,.

REFERENCE(S): 1. City Council Districts -Map of Current Council Districts II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL I STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS : 115: Discussion ill. FISCAL IMP ACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A) Council discussed the need to revise City Council districts, pursuant to PMC Chapter 1.1 0, to maintain no more than 10% variance between the districts , at the meeting of November 24, 2014. B) At the same meeting, staff also indicated that the County Auditor has consented to allow, in a limited way, the splitting of some voter precincts should that be necessary to achieve the required population balance in establishing district boundaries. C) Council was also advised of the on-going federal lawsuit filed by the ACLU against the City of Yakima wherein it was determined by the Court that Yakima's five-district system and district boundaries resulted in dilution of the voting rights of Yakima's sizeable Latino community. As there are a number of similarities common to Yakima and Pasco in terms of election system and population demographics, staff had hoped that by this time there would have been more known regarding the fmal outcome of the Yakima case. Unfortunately, there is no further information at this time . D) As noted in November, one of the proposals advanced by plaintiffs in the Yakima case is that of having district voters only vote in City Council general elections (in much the way that congressional representatives are selected). However, such an approach would appear to be in conflict with state law (RCW 35A.12.180) which states, in pertinent part: "Voters of the entire city may vote at the general election to elect a councilmember of a ward, unless the city had, prior to January 1, 1994, limited the voting in the general election for any and all council positions to only voters residing within the ward ... " E) Regardless of the uncertainties arising from the lawsuit, staff believes that it is still prudent to schedule one or more public hearings in order to inform the public and receive comment on possible district boundary altemative·s and to evaluate if there are conditions in Pasco's system which may warrant alteration. F) While it is important that Council move to make necessary revisions in a timely ·way (perhaps finalizing the 2015 system by March 2 so as to allow at least 60 days before the May 11 beginning of the candidate filing period), it is also important that the adopted system be broadly supported and legally sound. V. DISCUSSION: A) Staff suggests that an initial informational public hearing be scheduled for January 26. This hearing would be designed to outline for the public the issues of growth resulting in the need to redraw boundaries as well as the issue of voting rights as underscored by the Yakima case. B) A second hearing is proposed to be scheduled for February 23, allowing time for any adjustments to the system prior to possible adoption on March 2. C) Council direction will enable staff to work toward specific deadlines and prepare public outreach. lO(a) Legend A Precinct Labels District 1 District 2 District 3 District 4 District 5 City of Pasco Council Districts Current Districts 2014 • N W+E s
