REFERENCE(S): Argent Road Vicinity Map Map of Intersection of Argent & Road 36 Oregon Avenue Vicinity Map Phase Maps II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: To Update Council on Project Status III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Argent Road Argent Road is a principal arterial that provides vital east and west connection from 4th Avenue to Road 100. One section of the corridor (20th Avenue to Road 44) runs along Port of Pasco and Columbia Basin College property. In early 2012, the Port of Pasco and Columbia Basin College entered into discussions regarding the future of Argent Road and the needs of the Port of Pasco, Pasco Airport, the Fire Department, Columbia Basin College and the City as the area grows and additional demand is placed onto the corridor. City staff allocated federal funds in the amount of $200,000 for the design of the project and Mackay & Sposito is the Consultant Engineer. Page 3 of 21 Oregon Avenue The City is planning to widen the existing four -lane roadway to provide a five -lane section that offers a center two-way left -turn lane to accommodate turning movements. The City anticipates that vacant properties along the corridor will be developed to hos additional industrial businesses in the foreseeable future and seeks to design the corridor improvements in a manner that safely and efficiently facilitates truck and employee movements. The purpose of this effort is to develop a 20 -year plan for corridor study area. This plan will serve as a basis for identifying existing and future turn lane needs (length of storage, etc.), anticipated future traffic signal locations, and access management standards for the corridor. On November 19, 2012, Council awarded a professional services agreement to CH2M Hill in the amount of $350,000 to complete design of the Oregon Avenue Corridor in accordance to agreed scope and fees. The City has allocated $427,000 in STP (federal) funds that will be used for design and project management. 90% of the design on Phase 1 (I-182 to 'A' Street) is complete. V.

REFERENCE(S): Proposed Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Chapter 16.06.040 of the Pasco Municipal Code allows waivers to the requirement for connection to City utilities to be approved by City Council subject to Findings, Approval Criteria and Conditions. The recent annexation of Area #2 and the RD 80 Area have incorporated approximately 1,200 acres of property — much of it developed but still containing areas that have existing lots or are attractive to new single family development on relatively large lots. In the Riverview Area in particular, sparse sewer mainline infrastructure is available. There is an existing development pattern of large lots with on-site septic systems and significant portions of the area require the construction of lift stations to provide municipal sewer service. In cases where the above deficiencies exist in the Riverview Area, staff proposes that an administrative waiver to the requirement for sewer connection resulting from a development permit application, be available. Page 10 of 21 V. DISCUSSION: Council has considered a number of waivers to sewer service connection since the annexation of Area #2. The waivers result from distances to sewer lines in excess of 200 feet and/or the lack of lift stations to provide flow to a sewer mainline. The attached ordinance for Council consideration revises Title 16 of the PMC to add an administrative waiver in the Riverview Area provided the property can be developed with a legal on-site septic system. The proposed administrative waiver recognizes that the necessary assurances for protecting the public health can be conditioned through the waiver. If Council concurs with the proposed ordinance, staff will place the issue on the Regular Meeting Agenda for consideration. Page 11 of 21 ORDINANCE NO. AN ORDINANCE of the City of Pasco, Washington, amending Section 16.06.040 "Waiver — Authorized" providing for administrative approval of waiver within certain areas of the City. WHEREAS, Chapter 16.06 of the Pasco Municipal Code provides that connections to the City municipal sewer system may be waived by the City Council; and WHEREAS, in certain circumstances, development of property, due to connections to the City sewer system being physically or economically infeasible and where a lawful and recognized system of on-site septic systems exist consistent with the pre-existing development pattern of housing on larger lots; and WHEREAS, it is recognized that a certain area exists within the City, south of the FCID canal and west of Road 40 that frequent requests for sewer waivers has been received, and City sewer services are not readily available being in excess of 200 feet from an existing sewer line or lack of a functioning lift station; and WHEREAS, to address these applications for sewer waivers to be processed administratively, NOW THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.

HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: In anticipation of the July 1 annexation of the Road 80 area, the City and Fire District entered into discussions, and later negotiations, to consider the impacts of the contemplated annexation on each jurisdiction and to consider ways to work cooperatively in the transition of services and beyond. The annexation of the Road 80 area presents unique challenges and opportunities for the District as well as the City. The proposed agreement, which is being considered formally by the Fire District on June 23, provides for a transfer of assets in accordance with State law and an exchange of services between the City and District as follows: District to provide: 1.

Automatic Advanced Emergency Medical Services (AEMS) at no cost to District. 2. One time payment of an amount calculated as the difference between the cost of water tender (TBD) and prior AEMS services provided by City to District. V.
