IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City has experienced increased congestion over the past two decades, particularly
along the I-182 corridor and associated surface streets. Current planning efforts
estimate additional population growth between 50 and 75 percent over the next 20
years. Existing population levels, as well as expected growth, are driving the need to
identify the best way to redistribute regional traffic within the City’s transportation
network.
There have been a number of indications that there is a need for another acce ss point
to/from I-182 between SR-395 and the Road 100 Interchange. To further this
evaluation, staff has been working with the Washington State Department of
Page 20 of 305
Transportation (WSDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) on the
concept of initiating an Interchange Justification Report (IJR). Those efforts have
resulted in WSDOT and FHWA support of a Feasibility Traffic Study being conducted
as a precursor to a full IJR effort.
The Feasibility Traffic Study is the first phase of a multi -phased project to identify,
recommend, approve, and design a solution to the traffic congestion throughout the
City. Under this scope of work, the consultant analyzes the feasibility of redistributing
traffic to meet current and future traffic demands and identify transportation
improvement projects to reduce congestion. Essentially, FHWA requires analysis that
solutions to current and projected congestion cannot be entirely addressed within the
local transportation system before they will allow additional interchanges to the
interstate freeway system. Depending on the outcome of the Feasibility Traffic Study,
future phases of the project could include completion of an IJR, environmental
documentation, and a Preliminary Study and Engineering document.
The study area centers along I-182 from the Columbia River Bridge east to SR 395 and
is bounded by Court Street on the south and Powerline Road on the north.
A Technical Committee has been formed with FHWA, WSDOT, Port of Pasco staff,
City staff, BFCOG members, among others. Two meetings were held in Olympia in the
months of June and July 2015. In said meetings, consensus was reached on the
methods and assumptions the consultant used to develop the traffic model, as well as
the definition of the study Mission Statement, which is clearly stated in the Chartering
Agreement.
V. DISCUSSION:
As part of the process, an Executive Committee needs to be formed. The Executive
Committee will need to include at least three members, one member each from the
following organizations:
1. City Council;
2. Planning Commission and Chamber of Commerce; and
3. Port of Pasco or neighborhood representatives.
This item was discussed at the November 23, 2015 council meeting.

INTRODUCTION AND PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Pasco has experienced recession-defying growth over the past five years. This growth has resulted in high levels of congestion on corridors that provide access to regional facilities along the I-182 Corridor, such as the Tri-Cities Airport, the Columbia Basin College, and the Trade Recreation Agricultural Center (TRAC – a regional complex hosting conventions, concerts, and recreational sporting events, including Gesa Stadium). In particular, Road 68 between I-182 and Sandifur Parkway experiences significant congestion during typical weekdays that is compounded during events at TRAC. Current planning efforts estimate continued growth of 2% to 3% per year over the next 20 years in Pasco, driving the need to determine transportation network solutions that can serve both local and regional traffic.
The Feasibility Traffic Study for Interchanges Project is the first phase of a multi-phased project to develop solutions to manage increasing congestion, accommodate future growth, and maintain adequate access to regional facilities along the I-182 Corridor. The study will:
• Examine the nature of regional and local traffic demands on key corridors connecting to the regional facilities (e.g., Road 68 and Argent Road), including future growth.
• Evaluate the effects of transportation system options that redistribute traffic routing, including completing a local grid system, improving crossings of I-182, and providing new access to I-182 (between Road 68 and SR 395).
• Recommend next steps for project development.
Based on the results of the Feasibility Traffic Study, future phases of the project could include completion of an Interchange Justification Report (IJR), environmental documentation, and PS&E document.
ANALYSIS YEARS AND TIME PERIODS
The traffic analysis will be performed for the following analysis years:
• Existing Year 2015
• 20-year Design Horizon 2040 (assumed opening year of 2020)
The Scenarios will include weekday p.m. peak hour analysis. Weekends and other special event periods will not be included as a specific analysis time period. It is recognized that weekends and special events at the nearby TRAC Center are also periods when the local road network is congested. However, these periods will not be the focus of this analysis, in part since there are no regional forecasting tools developed for such periods. Existing data sources (as available) will be reviewed to qualitatively describe the system conditions during special event periods.

PROJECT AND STUDY AREAS
The study area limits for the City of Pasco Feasibility Traffic Study for Interchanges is larger than the project area limits. The larger study area is intended to capture land use, population, employment, and traffic volumes throughout the surrounding local network that may influence the project area.
For travel modeling purposes, the entire BFCG regional travel demand model area will be included in the model area. The BFCG model represents the immediate Tri-Cities area and includes the cities of Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland, as well as the Hanford Site. Any project based refinements to the regional travel demand model will occur within the study area.
Project Area
The project area will focus on the segment of I-182 between SR 395 and Road 68 to identify potential interchange locations. An interchange on this freeway segment would likely either include or directly impact the configuration of Argent Road, and possibly other collector streets such as Road 52, Road 48, and Road 44. Project Area refinements for future phases of evaluation may be identified through the course of the Feasibility Study.
Study Area
The study area is a larger area that captures potential benefits or impacts for traffic capacity analysis and includes the following corridors
• Freeway
o I-182 - from the Columbia River (west of Broadmoor Boulevard) to 20th Avenue
• Roadways
o Court Street – from Road 68 to 20th Avenue
o 20th Avenue – from Court Street to Powerline Road
o Powerline Road – from 20th Avenue to Road 68
o Road 68 – from Powerline Road to Court Street
The study area includes facilities under City of Pasco, Franklin County, and WSDOT jurisdiction, and is located near the center of the BFCG Metropolitan Planning Area. The study area also falls within the City of Pasco Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The primary congestion within study area today occurs on the Road 68 corridor between I-182 and Sandifur Parkway.
The project study intersections are representative of the key traffic growth locations within the study area limits. Freeway ramp intersections provide measures of regional growth within the study area limits and therefore are included as study intersections in the analysis.

SR 395 Northbound Ramps/ Court St
The project team selected the other study intersections based on regional model traffic growth projections, roadway classification, and connectivity functions within the project limits.
Other Selected Intersections include:
10. Burden Blvd/Road 68 11. Burden Blvd/Convention Pl 12. Argent St/Road 68 13. Argent St/Road 52 14. Argent St/Road 48 15. Argent St/Road 44 16. Argent St/20th Ave 17. Sandifur Pkwy/Road 68 18. Court St/Road 68 19. Burden Blvd/Road 44 20. Argent St/Road 36 21. Wernett Rd/Road 68 22. Sandifur Pkwy/Broadmoor Blvd 23. Burden Blvd/Road 60 24. Chapel Hill/Road 68 25. Chapel Hill/Broadmoor Blvd 26. Wrigley Dr/Road 68 27. Court St/48th Ave 28. Sandifur Parkway/Convention Pl
These intersections are shown in Figure 1. The project team will select additional study intersections based on proposed future freeway, arterial and collector connections.

TRAFFIC OPERATIONS ANALYSIS
The traffic operations analysis will use two primary types of software tools to analyze the components of existing and future traffic performance:
• 2010 Highway Capacity Software Version 6.65 (HCS 2010): Freeway mainline, ramp merge & diverge
• Synchro (version 8): Capacity analysis of signalized and unsignalized intersections (no queuing analysis)
The first step will be to analyze existing conditions, including calibration to match results to actual data collected from the field such as traffic signal operations. Then the Future No-Build Operations will be conducted using the forecasted traffic volumes for the design year (2040), coupled with roadway network updates to the travel demand model based on funded transportation projects expected to exist at those times. Following the Future No-Build Operations Analysis, the project team will analyze multiple design alternatives for the Future Build Operations.
Other performance measures are discussed in the Selected Measures of Effectiveness section of this document.
Analysis Data
The base year traffic analysis will be conducted for year 2015 traffic levels. The project team will compile traffic counts and existing peak hour factors (PHFs) for the study intersections that have had traffic counts collected since 2013 (where available, as identified in the Travel Forecast Section). New 2015 peak hour traffic counts will be collected at all other study intersections. The intersection count data from 2013/2014 counts will be balanced and adjusted with the new count locations to form a year 2015 dataset.
When considering 20 years of traffic growth, it is likely that the duration of the traffic peak will spread and the maximum 15 minutes of traffic volume will be lower relative to the total traffic during the peak hour (i,e,. PHF will increase). Peaking characteristics in 2040 at study area intersections will be assessed based on the variation of existing peaking characteristics, with possibly a minimum PHF of 0.95 assumed for all intersections in 2040. Peak hour factors for freeway analysis will be based on the lesser (conservative value) of the measured peak hour factors at the critical ramp terminals.
Truck percentage estimates for the study area are based on tube count data collected by the City of Pasco and WSDOT since 2013. At this time the estimated truck percentages are not expected to change for future analysis years.

Existing Year Traffic Data Collection
Previous data collection efforts within the project limits provided PM peak hour turn movement counts at the following study intersections:
• I-182 Westbound Ramps/Road 68 (Collected in 2013)
• I-182 Eastbound Ramps/Road 68 (Collected in 2013)
• SR 395 Northbound Off-Ramp/I-182 Westbound On-Ramp/Argent St (Collected in 2013)
• Burden Blvd/Road 68 (Collected in 2013)
• Burden Blvd/Convention Place (Collected in 2013)
• Argent St/20th Ave (Collected in 2013)
• Argent St/Road 36 (Collected in 2013)
• Court St/20th Ave (Collected in 2014)
• Burden Blvd/Road 60 (Collected in 2013)
The City of Pasco will conduct peak turn movement traffic counts during the spring of 2015. The counts will occur during a two-hour PM peak period on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. The count locations will include all study intersections without a similar count within the past two years. Traffic data from the permanent traffic recorder (PTR) stations will provide the peak hour traffic volumes on I-182 and SR 395 for weaving, merging, and diverging base year analysis.
TRAVEL FORECASTING
Future roadway and intersection volume forecasts will use the existing year 2015 traffic volume count data1 with applied growth forecasts from the BFCG regional travel demand model.. The following section provides background on the regional travel demand model and the forecasting process.
Travel Demand Model Process
The BFCG updated the regional travel demand model as part of the 2011-2032 Regional/Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). The model area represents the immediate Tri-Cities area and includes the cities of Pasco, Kennewick, Richland, and West Richland. The model also includes a transportation analysis zone (TAZ) representing the Hanford Site. The current model has a 2010 base year and 2020 and 2030 horizon years. The model uses the TransCAD software platform and follows a standard four-step process, as described in the
1 Depending on the trends observed through the new 2015 traffic counts, the 2013 and 2014 counts may be adjusted to account for recent growth (through balancing adjacent locations) to form a year 2015 traffic dataset.
Page 32 of 305
City of Pasco BergerABAM, A15.0064.00 Feasibility Traffic Study for Interchanges Project April 2015 Pasco, Washington Page 8
2011-2032 Regional/Metropolitan Transportation Plan.2 The model will be updated in the next few years to support projections needed for future Comprehensive Plan and transportation plan updates in the region. However, this next planned update (due in 2017) is not anticipated to be available in time for application in the Feasibility Study during 2015. Therefore, the project team has coordinated3 with BFCG to develop an approach for preparing a year 2040 horizon year forecast for this project.
Year 2040 Travel Demand
As part of the interchange feasibility project, the team will develop a focused travel demand model for the base year (2010) and multiple horizon year (2040) scenarios. The project team will disaggregate TAZs within the project limits to provide more detailed travel demand impact measurements (e.g., refined loading of trips onto the local system). Figure 2 shows the existing and proposed (disaggregated) TAZ boundaries.
The following section describes how the travel demand elements (land use within the model area and traffic volumes on external gateways) will be extrapolated to year 2040 levels. This extrapolation effort will be primarily focused locally, in Pasco, since Pasco TAZ are most immediate to the project area and affect the traffic routing on local facilities. However, other regional growth considerations (such a land use outside of Pasco in the Tri-Cities, and regional gateway traffic) will also be considered and extrapolated to account for impacts to future travel demand coming into and out of Pasco.
Pasco Land Use - The City of Pasco will develop 2040 land use projections for the entire city and provide disaggregated land use detail within the study area limits. Figure 2 shows the existing and disaggregated TAZ system. Year 2040 control totals for Franklin County (based on Washington’s Office of Financial Management (OFM) countywide population projections for year 2040) will be used guide the Pasco land use allocations.

Regional (Non-Pasco) Land Use – Land use growth in the Tri-Cities (model area) outside of Pasco will be considered to account for traffic growth on regional facilities connecting to Pasco. For the model areas outside the City of Pasco, the project team will use regional population control totals for year 2040 and factor the 2020 to 2030 growth (by TAZ) to 2040. The project team will coordinate with Benton and Franklin counties to ensure that population and employment model growth are consistent with current projections of county control totals. This process will consist of the following three steps:
1. 2040 Population Control Totals: Based on initial coordination with Benton and Franklin Counties, the counties have not set year 2040 control totals. Therefore, we will use Washington’s Office of Financial Management (OFM) countywide population projections for year 2040. Based on a review of recent population growth and past forecasts, we will use the “high” projection4. We will retain the existing population allocation for each city within the counties (e.g., 38% Kennewick, 28% Richland, 6% West Richland). 2. 2040 Employment Control Totals: We will retain the projected 2030 employment/population ratio included in the BFCG regional model. The 2040 Employment uses will be factored to account for population growth. 3. 2030 to 2040 Growth Areas: The 2030 land use will be scaled up to match year 2040 population and employment totals. The incremental growth will be applied proportionately to TAZs based on growth between 2020 and 2030.
Model External Freeway Connections - Trips enter and exit the BFCG regional model via major regional roads. These roads act as gateways to the model and provide an estimate of the travel interaction between the Tri-Cities region and Washington State. These gateways are incorporated into the travel demand model as external stations. The estimated traffic growth at the external stations to project year 2040 demand will be estimated using the following steps:
1. Total 2040 External Trips - To estimate the 2040 external station trips the project team will apply the 2020 to 2030 BFCG model external station growth to the 2030 to 2040 time period, generating the total 2040 external trips. This extrapolation will be back-checked with historical growth rates and projected County growth (outside of the Tri-Cities) to assure reasonableness. 2. External-External (X-X) Trips – The X-X trips are those that travel through the model area without an origin or destination in the Tri-Cities. The proportion of X-X trips relative to all external trips for each external gateway will be retained from the 2030 model scenario.
4 The OFM projections are set for low, medium, and high levels for each county.
Page 35 of 305
City of Pasco BergerABAM, A15.0064.00 Feasibility Traffic Study for Interchanges Project April 2015 Pasco, Washington Page 11
3. External-Internal (X-I) and Internal-External (I-X) Trips – The X-I trips travel from outside the model area to a destination in the model area, while the I-X trips have an origin in the model area and a destination outside the model area. The number of X-I and I-X trips for each external gateway will be calculated by taking the total external trips and removing the X-X trips. The remaining trips will represent X-I trips (those entering the model area) and I-X trips (those leaving the model area).
Regional Destinations – There are three significant uses within the study area that draw regional activity. The airport and college are both represented with employment land use in the model. Future forecasts for these areas will be considered in Pasco’s land 2040 land use in the respective TAZs. The TRAC center trips are modeled as a “special generator” using fixed trip totals in the TAZ in place of land use and trip rates. This methodology creates a special generator representing the TRAC center’s unique travel demand impacts. The project modeling process will preserve the special generator modeling procedures used in the BFCG model.
All refined model runs will follow the BFCG model process and assumptions. The 2040 transportation network will include projects approved with committed funding within the study area. These projects will be limited to those that influence motor vehicle routing in the demand model - projects that do not influence vehicle routing (such as sidewalk infill or modernization projects) will not be included. The regional projects currently scheduled and funded are listed in Table 1, which are copied as excerpts from existing project lists (City of Pasco CIP and WSDOT STIP) and have not been modified for reference purposes.

To preserve the BFCG modeling process, the project team will match all roadway network edits and additions from the alternatives analysis to the link (segment) and node (intersection) classification and volume delay function parameters used in the BFCG model. All network additions, edits, and refinements will occur down to the collector street level of detail in the study area.
Assumptions in the Travel Demand Model
All travel demand modeling assumptions used in the BFCG regional travel demand model will also apply to the project modeling process. The key BFCG model assumptions include the following:
• Demand is balanced to the home end of a trip
• Three trip types
o Home-Work/Work-Home
o Home-Other/Other-Home
o Non-Home Based to Non-Home Based
• Trip rates remain fixed in the future
• Route impedance (cost) is a factor of both time and distance
• Minimal transit impacts to overall travel demand (no mode choice component)
• Single class of auto travel (no separate assignment for trucks)
• Traffic assignment follows the User Equilibrium method, with control and link delay components

City of Pasco BergerABAM, A15.0064.00 Feasibility Traffic Study for Interchanges Project April 2015 Pasco, Washington Page 14
Post Process for Volume Adjustments
The future forecasting will be conducted by adding the difference (growth) in volumes from the future planning horizon (2040) volumes to the base year (2010) volumes for each turn movement at intersections to the existing field collected turn movements. Because the base year model and existing field collected data represent two different base years, the growth from the base year model to future year model will be adjusted to compensate for the difference in base years This increment of growth will be adjusted to represent post-processed annual growth that will be added to the 2015 existing p.m. peak hour turn movement counts to establish forecasted opening year and design year volumes. Future traffic volumes will be forecasted for interstate mainline segments and ramps, as well as for turning movements at study intersections making use of existing data and the travel demand modeling process described in previous sections. Travel demand forecasts developed for operational analysis will be post-processed using the methodology outlined in the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 255, published by the Transportation Research Board.
SAFETY ISSUES
Placeholder Note: This section may be addressed through the IJR process but is not being addressed during the Feasibility Study.
SELECTION OF MEASURES OF EFFECTIVENESS
With Future No-Build Conditions and area deficiencies and constraints identified, alternatives for improving traffic operations will be developed and evaluated through a two-level screening process. The purpose of the first level is to develop the initial set of alternatives for consideration and to apply the first level of screening to select a subset of alternatives for further refinement. These first alternatives will include options such as:
• Enhancing City arterial/collector grid connectivity
• Enhancing the city network with additional state highway overcrossings or undercrossings
• Enhancing the network with additional or improved state highway interchanges
• Enhancing the City arterial/collector grid with a combination of added interchanges and corridor widening
Measures of effectiveness used in the Level 1 screening process (performed with the travel demand model) to select alternatives may include:
Level 1 – Alternative Initial Screening
• Total System Congestion (hours of delay)
• Average Trip Length for trips accessing I-182
Page 39 of 305
City of Pasco BergerABAM, A15.0064.00 Feasibility Traffic Study for Interchanges Project April 2015 Pasco, Washington Page 15
• Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT) in the study area
• VMT by Trip Type (through, regional, local) by Functional Class (freeway, arterial, collector, local). Trip Type defined as:
o Through – no trip ends (origin or destination) within the City of Pasco
o Regional – one trip end (origin or destination) within the City of Pasco
o Local – both trip ends (origin and destination) within the City of Pasco
• Travel Time and Travel Routes between Key Origins and Destinations
The second level screening process will evaluate in greater detail the top three alternatives (or alternative hybrids) that remain from the Level 1 screening process, and will include detailed intersection level traffic analysis. Measures of effectiveness used in the Level 2 screening process to select alternatives may include:
Level 2 –Refined Screening
All measures of effectiveness used in Level 1 (travel demand model) screening, plus the following:
• Intersection Analysis
o PM peak hour volume-to-capacity ratio, level of service (LOS), and delay
o Growth in traffic volume at study intersections, including the growth of movements accessing I-182 at interchange locations
• Freeway Segment Analysis
o PM peak hour merge, diverge, and weave capacity calculations on I-182
The results of the traffic impact analysis will be used to determine the project’s traffic impacts to mainline I-182, and thus the level of analysis (ie. extents of the study area) required for an Interchange Feasibility Report, to be submitted to WSDOT and FHWA. The measures of effectiveness listed for the Level 1 and Level 2 analysis will be included in the final project Interchange Feasibility Report. Measures of effectiveness for intersection performance will include LOS, delay and volume/capacity ratio, while freeway performance will include LOS, density and speed.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council November 24, 2015
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Regular Meeting: 12/7/15
FROM: Stan Strebel, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Gordon Thomas Honeywell Federal Legislative Consulting Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Federal Legislative Consulting Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve the Agreement with Gordon Thomas Honeywell
Governmental Affairs for Federal Legislative Consultant Services and, further,
authorize the City Manager to execute the Agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$60,000 annually
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City has contracted with the consulting firm of Gordon Thomas Honeywell (GTH)
for legislative assistance at the state level for several years. In early 2009, the City
entered into a separate agreement with the Washington DC division of GTH to provide
for legislative consulting services specifically geared to federal funding for the Lewis
Street Overpass Project.
The agreement with the Washington DC office is set to expire on December 31, 2015
and a new agreement is necessary to sustain the consulting effort on the City's behalf in
Washington DC.
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed agreement is similar to the prior agreements, except for the term and a
provision which provides for automatic renewal of the agreement for successive one-
year terms unless terminated by either party with sixty (60) days written notice. The
Page 63 of 305
parties agree to prepare a scope of work and compensation attachment (see Attachment
"A") for each term.
The scope of work, as attached to the agreement, still focuses on funding for
construction of the Lewis Street Overpass project as well as the more-recent emphasis
on lowering Pasco Levee 12-2 as the final link in the Sacajawea Heritage River Trail
and efforts to continue to establish relationships with the City's elected representatives
(and their staff) in Congress.
The expense of the contract remains unchanged at $5,000 monthly ($60,000 annually).
The assistance of the consultant was beneficial in 2009 through Representative
Hastings' effort to obtain a $750,000 allocation for the Lewis Street Overpass project in
the 2010 federal budget. As was recently shared with Council, GTH has been of
assistance in representing the City's interests in the lowering of Levee 12-2. It is also
critical to continue working with the Washington State delegation and federal agency
officials to assure the best opportunity to have Pasco's projects included in future
federal funding bills and to project local influence on agency priorities.
This item was discussed at the November 23 Council workshop meeting. Staff
recommends renewal of the agreement under the terms listed.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council November 24, 2015
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Regular Meeting: 12/7/15
FROM: Stan Strebel, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: 2016 Legislative Priorities
I. REFERENCE(S):
2016 Legislative Priorities
Proposed Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. _____, declaring the City's Legislative
Priorities for the 2016 session of the Washington State Legislature.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Washington State Legislature convenes on Monday, January 11, 2016. The
upcoming session, commonly referred to as the "short session," is scheduled to end on
March 10, 2016. Though shorter in duration than a "long" session (held in an odd-
numbered year, the first year of a biennium), considerable activity is anticipated on
major policy matters impacting Pasco and other municipalities. These proposals have
the potential to favorably or adversely impact the City and its mission. Continuing as a
large issue this year is the Washington State Supreme Court's McCleary decision
relating to the funding of public schools and its impact on the state's financing.
The City has maintained a proactive posture with the legislature regarding the interests
of Pasco. One means by which Council has historically made their concerns and
interests known to the legislature, and specifically its legislative delegation, is through
the adoption of its City Legislative Priorities Statement.
Given the breadth and scope of the City's priorities, in order to be effective, the City
contracts with a legislative consultant based in Olympia to provide an on-the-ground
presence in Olympia during session, monitor the state legislature throughout the year
and advance the City's legislative agenda accordingly.
Page 68 of 305
V. DISCUSSION:
Attached is the proposed 2016 legislative priorities list which reflects modifications to
the previous agenda as recommended by staff and the legislative consultant, Briahna
Murray, Vice President, Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs. The
proposed changes are intended to reflect changed circumstances over the past year, so
that the new list of priorities more accurately reflects current circumstances and the
policy direction of the City Council.
This item was discussed at the November 23 Workshop Meeting. Staff recommends
approval of the attached resolution.

City of Pasco
2016 State Legislative Priorities
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING: LEWIS STREET OVERPASS
The Lewis Street Overpass project replaces a deteriorating and functionally obsolete 1937
railroad underpass on a former state highway. The 2015 transportation package passed by the
Legislature includes funding for completion of Lewis Street Overpass, including $15 million in
state transportation funding and $11 million from local sources. The City will actively work to
identify full funding for the project, including seeking state and grant funding. Pasco also
requests project funding to begin in earlier biennia in order to realize design and permitting cost
savings.
CAPITAL FUNDING: EXTENSION OF UTILITIES AT ROAD 68 PROPERTY
Pasco will be requesting funding in the 2017-2019 Capital Budget to extend water and sewer
infrastructure onto the Road 68 Property. The Department of Natural Resources is in the
process of selling 330 acres located in a prime area for commercial and residential
development. There are currently plans to develop transportation right-of-way through this
property, but not any water or sewer utilities. Extending water and sewer would substantially
increase the value of the land, and would increase the return-on-investment for the state.
CONSOLIDATION OF BENTON AND FRANKLIN COUNTY 911 CALL CENTERS
Both Franklin and Benton Counties have explored the idea of consolidating emergency call
centers as one element of improving emergency response in rapidly growing communities
throughout the area. Consolidation of emergency dispatch will provide seamless service to
residents, and will decrease response times by preventing jurisdictional confusion. Pasco
supports the efforts of Benton and Franklin Counties to seek capital funding in the 2017-2019
biennium to consolidate the Benton and Franklin County emergency dispatch center.
FUNDING FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAMS
There exists a substantial need to provide assistance to individuals in need of housing, as well
as treatment for mental health and substance abuse issues. Unfortunately, many of the programs
currently in place are overburdened and constrained by a limited budget, which can lead to
tragic consequences. Pasco supports efforts to provide sustainable funding to programs that will
support housing as well as mental health and substance abuse treatment for community
members in crisis.
LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION FLEXIBILITY
Until 1994, local governments had the authority to determine the most appropriate way to
conduct local elections. Presently, only first-class cities can change their election process from
at-large to district-based voting in a general election. Pasco supports legislation to give local
governments the ability to create a system of voting that will ensure the best outcomes for their
community.

INFRASTRUCTURE AND PUBLIC WORKS FUNDING
During the 2015 session, the Legislature passed budgets that included substantial funding for some
infrastructure programs, including the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) and County Economic
Revitalization Board (CERB). Meanwhile, other programs, such as the Public Works Assistance Account
(PWAA) faced substantial cuts. Pasco supports full funding of programs that support development and
maintenance of local infrastructure.
RESTORE “STATE-SHARED REVENUES” FOR CITIES
Pasco receives approximately $1.3 million annually from the state, categorized as “state-shared revenues”
(liquor excise tax, nuclear generating tax, sales tax mitigation, city/county assistance, etc.). Progress was made
to strengthen these programs during the 2015 session, but additional resources are still needed to fund essential
local services, including public safety. Pasco will continue to support preservation of these payments to cities;
their loss will put in jeopardy the reliable delivery of important local public safety services.
PUBLIC RECORDS REFORM
Pasco supports reform to statutes governing public records requests. The 2015 Legislature directed the State
Auditor’s Office to conduct a study on the actual cost of providing public records, both paper and electronically.
The City supports the completion of this study, and other reforms that will reduce city costs and address
harassing records requests. In approaching this reform, the City recognizes the importance of transparency and
accountability in government.
MARIJUANA LAWS
The new recreational marijuana industry is subject to a state excise tax , but very little of this revenue is directed
to local governments to address public safety and other needs associated with this system. The City will monitor
legislation associated with marijuana legalization, seek solutions to assist local governments in implementation
of the recreational marijuana system, and support policies that retain local authority on regulations that govern
marijuana production or sale.
NOTIFICATION OF PRE-ANNEXATION AGREEMENTS
Annexation agreements are signed by a property owner; the City agrees to provide city utility services, and, in
return, the property owner agrees to be annexed into the City. When a property is sold, buyers are currently
notified of existing pre-annexation agreements on a property’s title report. Pasco has learned that homebuyers
often overlook documentation provided with the title report, and purchase property unaware of whether such an
agreement has been signed. The City supports legislation improving notification of existing pre-annexation
agreements in the home buying process.
ELECTION OF JUDGES
Pasco opposes legislation mandating that part-time municipal court judges be elected rather than appointed.
Appointed judges are equally qualified professionally and there is no compelling evidence that appointed judges
are a threat to the administration of justice. In fact, requiring election of all judges would be very problematic
for part-time courts, particularly in small and rural communities found throughout eastern Washington.
LABOR REFORM
One of Pasco’s largest cost drivers is labor costs. The City supports legislation reducing these costs. For
example, under state law, police and fire personnel are guaranteed binding arbitration for wages and benefits in
lieu of the right to strike. While arbitration can be appropriate, current language obligates the arbitrator to give
paramount consideration to what “comparable agencies” are paying rather than the ability of the employer to
absorb the cost. Modification of the arbitration statute to provide clarity on comparability would better balance
the interests of uniformed employees with those of the taxpayer. Page 71 of 305
RESOLUTION NO.
A RESOLUTION declaring the City’s legislative priorities for the 2016
session of the Washington State Legislature.
WHEREAS, the 2016 session of the Washington State Legislature commences on January
11; and
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco, as a municipal corporation and subdivision of the state, can
be substantially affected by the actions of the legislature; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has evaluated conditions impacting the City and opportunities
to improve the services the City provides to its citizenry; and
WHERAS, the City Council desires to identify its legislative priorities for the 2016
legislative session so they can be provided to state legislators prior to commencement of the next
legislative session; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DO RESOLVE
AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That the legislative objectives stated herein below constitute the priorities of the
City of Pasco for the 2016 legislative session.
TRANSPORTATION FUNDING: LEWIS STREET OVERPASS: The Lewis Street

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. _____, amending PMC Chapter 5.40
"Hotels and Rooming Houses" and, further, authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
A recent decision by the US Supreme Court has changed the standard for unconsented
inspections of hotel guest registries providing a greater degree of privacy to citizens.
In light of the decision of the Court, it is prudent to amend the City's regulations on
hotels and rooming houses to conform to the case law.
The attached Ordinance, amending portions of PMC Chapter 5.40, has been prepared
by the City Attorney to meet the standards of the Court. Guest registers are subject to
inspection only with consent of the owner/manager or in response to an official order
or warrant. Subjective language and other questionable terminology has also been
deleted (i.e., "bootlegger"; "undesirable class") in the Ordinance.
V. DISCUSSION:
This item was discussed at the November 23 Council workshop meeting. Staff
recommends adoption of the Ordinance.

MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No._______, approving a special permit for
the location of wireless communication facilities at the southwest corner of W. Court
Street and Road 68, as recommended by the Planning Commission.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On November 19, 2015, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to
determine whether or not to recommend a special permit be granted for the location of
wireless communication facilities near the southwest corner of West Court Street and
Road 68.
Following the conduct of the public hearing, the Planning Commission reasoned that
Page 91 of 305
with conditions, it would be appropriate to recommend approval of a special permit for
the cellular tower. The recommended conditions are contained in the attached
Resolution.
It should be noted that the Council previously considered and approved the location of
a cell tower on the property in question. Council Resolution 3568 approved in July of
2014 granted the Special Permit for cellular facilities provided a building permit was
obtained by the applicant on or before July, 2015.
AT&T obtained a permit as required but failed to erect the tower before the building
permit expired. As a result the applicant was required to reapply for a new Special
Permit. The current application is exactly the same as the application the Council
approved last July.
As with the original application no written appeal of the Planning Commission’s
recommendation has been received.

ANALYSIS
In May of 2014 the Planning Commission held a hearing to consider the
placement of a cell tower on the property in question. The application at the
time was submitted by New Cingular Wireless PCS doing business as AT&T
Mobility. During 2014 AT&T abruptly stopped all construction on new cell
towers due to the reallocation of funds and consequently the building permit
and special permit for the previously approved tower both expired. AT&T’s
funding has been restored and the firm has again applied (through TowerCo)
for a special permit to locate a cell tower on Lot 2, Short Plat 93-08. The tower
site is located on the west side of Road 68 south of Court Street and directly
north of the MorStor mini-storage facility. The proposal involves construction of
a new antennae tower approximately 90-feet in height. The applicant’s request
is an effort to fill a coverage/capacity gap south of I-182 (coverage maps
Exhibits 1-3). The installation is intended to better support existing users and
would provide siting for two additional cellular providers to locate antennae on
the same tower. The proposal is identical to the proposal reviewed by the
Planning Commission in 2014.
As illustrated in the elevations submitted with the application (Exhibits 4-6),
the applicant wishes to install an 89-foot tall wireless communication network
tower on a vacant parcel. The tower design is proposed to appear as a pine tree
complete with faux branches, foliage and bark. At the base of the tower will be
a 40’x40’ (1,600ft²) equipment enclosure constructed of a six-foot tall chain-
link fence with privacy slats and three strands of barbed wire above.
Surrounding the fenced area the applicant proposes to install a live vegetative
buffer to further help screen the ground-level equipment enclosure and pole
base from view and to enhance appearance. A 31-foot wide utility service and
parking easement will connect Road 68 to the fenced enclosure to establish
legal access and use of the property. Staff has entered a condition (#5)
requiring the equipment enclosure be screened from view from surrounding
roadways.
Cellular facilities are proposed to be located in approximately the southeast
corner of the subject parcel; roughly twenty feet north of the nearest mini-
storage building. This location may alleviate some the visual impact created by
the new tower and enclosure by separating them from Court Street traffic as
much as the site will allow.
Zoning regulations for wireless facilities were specifically developed to permit,
through special permit review, cellular tower/antenna equipment on taller
buildings within the community.
2
Page 98 of 305
The PMC special permit review criteria for wireless facilities are written as
follows:
25.70.075 WIRELESS COMMUNICATION FACILITIES. Wireless
Communication Facilities are permitted under the following
conditions:
(1) Such structures shall be permitted in all industrial or C-3
zoning districts provided the location is 500 feet or more from a
residential district. Any location closer than 500 feet requires
special permit approval.
(2) Such structures may be permitted by special permit in all
other zoning districts provided said structures are:
(a) Attached to or located on an existing or proposed
building or structure that is higher than thirty-five (35) feet;
or
(b) Located on or with a publicly owned facility such as a
water reservoir, fire station, police station, school, county or
port facility.
(3) All wireless communication facilities shall comply with the
following standards
(a) Wireless facilities shall be screened or camouflaged by
employing the best available technology. This may be
accomplished by use of compatible materials, strategic location,
color, stealth technologies, and/or other measures to achieve
minimum visibility of the facility when viewed from public
rights-of -way, and adjoining properties such that a casual
observer cannot identify the Wireless Communication Facility.
(b) Wireless facilities shall be located in the City in the
following order of preference:
i) Attached to or located on buildings or structures
higher than 35 feet.
ii) Located on or with a publicly owned facility
iii) Located on a site other than those listed in a) or b).
(c) If an applicant chooses to construct a new
freestanding wireless communication facility, the burden of
proof shall be on the applicant to show a wireless
communication facility located on a higher order of preference
site cannot reasonably be accommodated. The city reserves the
right to retain a qualified consultant, at the applicant’s expense,
to review the supporting documentation for accuracy.
(4) All applications for building permits must be accompanied
by verification of approval by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC), the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
and any other state or federal requirements for tower design
and location. Additionally all tower construction plans must be
designed and stamped by a licensed professional engineer.
3
Page 99 of 305
(5) All wireless communication facilities shall be removed by
the facility owner within 6 months of the date the facility ceases
to be operational or if the facility falls into disrepair.
In this case the applicant is unable to locate an existing building 35-feet or
taller nor a publicly owned facility in the general vicinity which would allow the
cellular coverage objectives to be met. The applicant has provided staff with
analysis of co-location opportunities; staff is in general agreement with the
findings of the analysis. This leaves the last locational preference being a site
other than an existing building 35-feet or taller or a publicly owned facility.
A determination of non-significance from TOWAIR for the FAA has been
obtained by the applicant; as required by PMC 25.70.075(4) a copy has been
included in the application submittal.
Per request by the Planning Commission the applicant has provided an AM
radio frequency (RF) analysis (Exhibit ‘7’) evaluating the effect of the proposed
wireless communication facility on the nearby AM radio towers. In brief, the
analysis concludes that FCC regulation do not require analysis of effects on
nearby AM radio facilities. The analysis further concludes that the proposed
cellular tower will have no adverse effect on the existing AM signal and service.
A copy of the AM RF analysis is included in the report.
STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Findings of fact must be entered from the record. The following are initial
findings drawn from the background and analysis section of the staff report.
The Planning Commission may add additional findings to this listing as the
result of factual testimony and evidence submitted during the open record
hearing.
1. The site is zoned C-1 (Retail Business).
2. The Comprehensive Plan identifies the site for commercial uses.
3. The site is approximately 1.4 acres in area.
4. The site is vacant.
5. All municipal utilities are currently available serve the site from adjacent
roadways.
6. In the C-1 zone cellular towers may be permitted by special permit
provided the tower is either:
i) Attached to or located on an existing or proposed building or
structure that is higher than thirty-five (35) feet; or
4
Page 100 of 305
ii) Located on or with a publicly owned facility such as a water
reservoir, fire station, police station, school, county or port
facility.
iii) Located on a site other than those listed in a) or b).
7. As analyzed by the applicant, there are no publicly owned facilities nor
are there any existing buildings taller than 35 feet, within a 1,300-foot
radius of the site that would allow for AT&T’s coverage objectives to be
met.
8. The cellular antennae tower will be approximately 90-feet in height.
9. The cellular antennae tower will be treated with features to disguise the
tower as a tree.
10. Equipment serving the proposed antennae will be located within a 1,600
square foot ground-level equipment enclosure fenced with chain-link
fence and barbed wire.
11. The Comprehensive Plan suggests the City ought to maintain land use
flexibility with regard to placement of infrastructure for public and
private utilities.
12. The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address cellular
equipment.
13. Cellular equipment creates minimal demands on City infrastructure.
CONCLUSIONS BASED ON STAFF FINDINGS OF FACT
Before recommending approval or denial of a special permit the Planning
Commission must develop findings of fact from which to draw its conclusions
based upon the criteria listed in PMC 25.86.060. The criteria are as follows:
(1) Will the proposed use be in accordance with the goals, policies, objectives
and text of the Comprehensive Plan?
The Comprehensive Plan does not specifically address cellular
equipment. The Comprehensive Plan goal UF-2 and policy UF-2-A
discuss the need for sound management and coordination in the
location of utilities and community facilities. Policy ED-1-C promotes
the need to support Pasco’s urban area as a good business environment
by enhancing the infrastructure of the community. The applicability of
policy ED-1-C is enhanced due to the fact that the new tower will
provide more/better service primarily to commercially zoned properties.
Policy UT-1-C encourages coordination of utility providers’ functional
plans with the City’s land use and utility plans to ensure long term
service availability.
5
Page 101 of 305
(2) Will the proposed use adversely affect public infrastructure?
The proposed use is a part of the communication network utilized by the
general public. The proposed equipment will be located in such a
manner so as not to impact other public utilities or services. The
proposed use does not require water and sewer.
(3) Will the proposed use be constructed, maintained and operated to be in
harmony with existing or intended character of the general vicinity?
The character of the vicinity is a combination of residential suburban
development and commercial businesses. The two notable businesses
near the site are commercial in nature; they are a nursery and the
adjacent mini-storage facility. Much of the surrounding vicinity remains
largely vacant. The nursery business to the northeast has contained an
AM radio tower, approximately 100 feet in height, for many years. It is
unlikely that placement of a new antennae tower on the proposed site
will significantly alter the existing and/or intended character of the
general vicinity.
(4) Will the location and height of proposed structures and the site design
discourage the development of permitted uses on property in the general
vicinity or impair the value thereof?
There exist a number of cellular antennae towers throughout the
community. Staff has not received complaints from potential developers
about any of the existing towers being a deterrent to development
opportunities. Perhaps the inverse is a more likely result. The added 4G
cellular data service of increased signal strength may be an attractant to
potential commercial developers.
(5) Will the operations in connection with the proposal be more objectionable to
nearby properties by reason of noise, fumes, vibrations, dust, traffic, or
flashing lights than would be the operation of any permitted uses within
the district?
The proposed cellular equipment will create no notable fumes, dust or
noise. Emergency power generators are included in the ground-level
equipment. The generators will be periodically activated to test
functionality. Noise associated with the generators should be no greater
than noise generated by normal vehicle traffic on Court Street. The
generators and other equipment will be fully housed within a solid
containment enclosure. An antennae tower will generate far less noise,
dust and fumes than many of the land uses allowed in the C-1 zone.
Cellular facilities have been located throughout the community in
6
Page 102 of 305
residential, commercial and industrial zones without generating any
complaints received by the City.
(6) Will the proposed use endanger the public health or safety if located and
developed where proposed, or in any way become a nuisance to uses
permitted in the district?
The proposal is required to be designed by a professional engineer to
withstand the forces of nature. The applicant is also required by law to
coordinate with the FAA and FCC prior to obtaining a building permit. A
Determination of No Hazard to Air Navigation for the tower has been
issued to AT&T by the FAA for the proposed facility.
Radio waves at frequencies utilized by local cellular networks have not
been proven to be harmful to human health. Radio wave activity is
focused on the antennas which are elevated approximately 50 to 90 feet
above grade, away from human activity. The cellular antennae and
equipment pose no true threat to public health and safety.
APPROVAL CONDITIONS
1) The special permit shall apply to parcel # 119-701-412, Lot 2, Short
Plat 93-08, Franklin County WA;
2) The property shall be developed in substantial conformity with the

features including branches, foliage and bark;
5) The ground-level equipment shall be screened from all adjacent
rights-of-way by a block wall;
6) The ground-level cellular equipment enclosure shall be surrounded by
a landscaping buffer which obscures view of the equipment enclosure.
Said landscaping buffer shall be served by an automatic irrigation
system and shall be maintained in a well-kept manner by the
applicant;
7) The ground-level equipment enclosure shall be located no closer than
fifteen (15) feet from the property line adjacent to Road 68;
8) The driveway connecting Road 68 to the equipment enclosure shall be
paved with either concrete or asphalt to the design specifications of
the Pasco City Engineer;
9) The antennae tower shall not emit white light between the hours of
6pm and 8am;
7
Page 103 of 305
10) The proposed cellular facility must comply with all FCC regulations
regarding radio frequency emissions;
11) The special permit shall be null and void if a City of Pasco building
permit is not obtained by January 1, 2016.
RECOMMENDATION
This proposal has previously been considered through the special
permit review process and was approved by the City Council.
Following Council approval a building permit was issued for the
construction of the tower. Because this project was previously
approved and issued all necessary permits staff is recommending the
Planning Commission use the following motions to send a
recommendation on to the City Council after the November 19th
hearing.
MOTION for Findings of Fact: I move to close the hearing and
adopt findings of fact and conclusions therefrom as contained in the
November 19, 2015 staff report.
MOTION for Recommendation: I move based on the findings of fact
and conclusions as adopted the Planning Commission recommend the
City Council grant a special permit to allow wireless communication
facilities on tax parcel # 119-701-412 with conditions as contained in
the November 19, 2015 staff report.

PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES
11/19/2015
D.Special Permit Special Permit to locate a wireless
communications tower on a vacant parcel in a
C-1 (Retail Business) Zone (Tower Co.) (MF# SP
2015-014)
Chairwoman Polk read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Dave McDonald, City Planner, discussed the special permit application for the location
of a wireless communication tower on a vacant C-1 parcel near the intersection of
Road 68 and Court Street. It was explained the AT&T had previously received
approval for a cell tower on this site and that a permit had been issued for
construction. After receiving a building permit the project was put on hold and the
special permit expired. Mr. McDonald reviewed the site information for the Planning
Commission and explained the background and need for a cell tower at this location.
The proposal was generally the same as the one reviewed last year. The proposal
involves the construction of a tower that would then be concealed by a false “pine
tree”. It is the same design that was reviewed by the Planning Commission and
Council over a year ago. The same findings of facts have been provided as well as
conditions.
In regards to comments concerning property values and cell towers, Staff checked with
the County Assessor to find out if there was any impact in the community. The
Assessor stated, he has not seen a reduction in property values within the community
as a result of cell towers locating near houses. Mr. McDonald also stated cell towers
can be found near schools or fire stations.
Commissioner Portugal asked if the structure would be safe with the high winds in
this area.
Mr. McDonald responded that it will all be engineered to meet the safety standards.
Arvid Morfin, 2916 South Huntington Court, Kennewick, spoke on behalf of this item.
He stated that he was speaking on behalf of his brother, Byorn Morfin, who was
unable to attend.
Commissioner Mendez asked why the project didn’t follow through the last time and
allowed the special permit to expire.
Mr. McDonald stated that there was an internal situation with AT&T that affected sites
all over the country, not just in Pasco, dealing with availability of funding. The
funding has been restored and now they are completing the unfinished projects.
Commissioner Bowers asked why the applicant, a representative of AT&T, who spoke
Page 120 of 305
on the previous cell tower special permit wasn’t speaking on behalf of this permit.
Mr. McDonald explained that it is a different branch or company. In this case, the
applicant will own the tower and AT&T will rent from them.
Kristopher Butcher, 1048 S. Hi Lo Drive, Othello, spoke on behalf of this special
permit. He stated that he just acquired property to the northeast of the proposed site
and on his property they have existing towers. He asked how the applicant chose this
particular site and if they had looked into possibly locating their equipment on the
existing towers on his property. Currently on his site there is already a Verizon tower.
He asked if there would be interference with the existing towers and would like to see
a condition that if this special permit is approved that their tower won’t interfere with
his existing towers.
Chairwoman Polk responded that she remembers at the last hearing for the cell tower
at this location that a representative from the radio station regarding interference.
Mr. McDonald added that there was a representative from the radio station along with
an additional report that addressed those concerns to the effect that it would not
impact the radio station.
Chairwoman Polk asked if there would be any benefit in making that a condition.
Rick White, Community & Economic Development Director, explained that it was and
still is a condition already through the federal permitting process.
Rebecca Cooper, 3807 Santa Ana Loop, spoke on this item. She asked if the Road 100
tower (the cell tower proposal from the hearing before this tower) would be heard next
month at the Planning Commission Meeting.
Chairwoman Polk explained that for that special permit applicant, the public hearing

Resolution - 1
RESOLUTION NO. ________
A RESOLUTION of the City of Pasco, Washington, authorizing the

provided by RCW 84.55.0101.
WHEREAS, a public hearing was held on November 16, 2015, as required by RCW

discharge the expected expenses and obligations of the City, and in its best interest; and
WHEREAS, having found that the City anticipates greater expenses for the public safety
needs of the community and the public safety enhancements without a corresponding increase in
revenues, thereby, constituting a substantial need for the additional levy as permitted by law.

FOR: City Council December 3, 2015

FROM: Dave Zabell, City Manager
SUBJECT: Non-Represented Wage and Salary Plans
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Ordinance - Non-Represented, Non-Management
Proposed Ordinance - Management
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. _____________, providing for certain
adjustments in the non-represented, non-management wage plan beginning January 1,
2016 and, further, authorize publication by summary only.
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. _____________, providing for certain
adjustments in the management salary plan beginning January 1, 2016 and, further,
authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated increase in non-represented personnel cost by $144,000 annually (including
COLA of 2%)
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City is required to use “comparable” cities pay plans when negotiating union
contracts for police and fire employees. To maintain competitiveness, the same
comparable cities are used in evaluating wage and salary plans of other City
workgroups (public works/facilities, non-represented, non-management and
management positions). The current list of comparables reflects those cities outside the
Puget Sound area (consistent with past arbitration decisions), within 50% of Pasco’s
population and within 20% of Pasco’s general tax base measurement (annual property
tax, sales tax and utility tax revenues).
Page 283 of 305
Pasco, like most other cities around the state, provides a “Cost of Living Adjustment”
(COLA) to its employee pay plans, usually on an annual basis, depending on budget
conditions. Organized bargaining units (police, fire, and public works/facilities)
negotiate specific adjustments in bargaining contracts every two to three years, which
usually provide for an annual adjustment. Non-represented employees (management
and non-management) rely on direct action of the City Council after recommendation
from the Executive Office. The COLA attempts to maintain internal equity,
competitiveness for the City in retention and recruitment of employees, as well as
employee purchasing power over time. The COLA is typically provided as some
function of the annual Consumer Price Index change.
In examining trends over the last 5 years, staff notes that cumulative COLA
adjustments for non-represented groups have been somewhat less than CPI over that
same period (6.3% vs. 8.3% CPI) while organized labor employees have enjoyed
significantly higher adjustments (Police 13%, Fire 13%, Operating Engineers 9%). It is
not uncommon during difficult economic times for non-represented workers to receive
cost of living wage adjustments less than the unionized workforce. Doing so over time
however erodes competitiveness which in turn impacts recruitment and retention. It is
advisable that when economic conditions improve, adjustments be made to restore
wage competiveness. For this reason, the recommended 2016 COLA adjustment for
non-represented schedules - management and non-management is 2.0%, which is
greater than the CPI index the city utilizes for wage purposes - 0.5% for the period of
June 2014 to June 2015. The proposed adjustment is incorporated into the schedules
attached hereto. The total cost impact of the recommended COLA is estimated to be
$144,000 in 2016.
The non-management wage plan has been adjusted over the last several years to reduce
gaps particularly in the technical positions (information systems and engineering), and
with the list of comparables. For 2016 and consistent with the adopted 2016 budget, is
the addition of a new position, as included in the budget: HR Specialist, Grade 41. The
schedule is also adjusted to upgrade the position of Block Grant Administrator from
Grade 43 to Grade 53 and to change the title of Communication Specialist to
“Communication Manager”. Additionally, due to the recent de-certification of the Code
Enforcement and Permit Technician bargaining unit (formerly IUOE), it is necessary to
include Permit Technician at Grade 29 and Code Enforcement Officer at Grade 37 into
the schedule. These placements provide salary equivalency to the unionized
compensation levels. The cost of the recommended 2.0% COLA wage plan adjustment
is estimated to be $93,000 in 2016.
For management positions, a two percent (2%) COLA is also recommended, which
proposed change has been included in the schedule. In addition, the following position
bands are recommended for adjustment for both internal equity as well as
comparability with similar sized cities: Police Chief/Public Works Director – 3%;
A&CS Director/Fire Chief – 4%; Court Administrator – 6.7%. Finally, the position of
Public Works Field Division Manager is replaced with Public Works Superintendent
Page 284 of 305
with a change in the maximum allowable salary of 4.8%. The cost of the
recommended COLA is estimated to be $51,000 in 2016.

positions similar to those in Pasco, the City Manager has recommended certain adjustments in
the non-management wage plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Council also finds that a cost-of-living adjustment to the non-
management/non-represented wage scale of 2.0% is appropriate in consideration of the

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council November 24, 2015
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Regular Meeting: 12/7/15
FROM: Stan Strebel, Deputy City Manager
SUBJECT: Furniture/Fixtures/Equipment (FFE) for Police Facility
I. REFERENCE(S):
Furniture Bid/Comparison
Authorization for Additional Services for Architect
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to authorize acceptance of the bid from Custom Office Design for
specialty furniture for the Police Community Services Building in the total estimated
cost of $201,269.
-AND-
MOTION: I move to authorize additional design services in the amount of $62,500 for
furniture, fixture and equipment with Terence Thornhill, Architect for the Police
Community Services Building.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Overall FFE costs are projected to be $618,000.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City's bid package for the Police Community Services Building purposefully did
not include FFE as a means to save money as well as to get a superior product. It was
decided at the bid phase that the City could avoid the traditional markup costs of the
general contractor by purchasing some items directly, resulting in savings on the
overall project costs. Additionally, based on interviews with other departments where
new facilities have recently been completed, and the City's own experience, it was
determined that the selection of products based on durability could save money over
time.
Working with at least four different furniture manufactures, the Architect was able to
Page 291 of 305
identify a supplier which will build basic office furniture packages at competit ive
pricing and with a significantly better warranty and greater product durability.
Staff recommends the purchase of basic office furniture (desks, shelving, credenzas
and wardrobes) from Custom Office Design for $88,169 (not including tax) vs from the
most competitive pre-manufactured provider, Staks Furniture at a cost of $83,520. The
product offered by Custom Office Design, significantly exceeds the quality offered by
the lower cost provider, which is the basis for staff's recommendation.
Given the heavy use in police environments, due to the longer hours as well as the
equipment that officers typically wear, product durability, within reasonable cost,
should be a greater consideration than initial pricing.
V. DISCUSSION:
Because the FFE package was not included with the basic construction bid, the
Architect's professional services agreement also did not include that service at the time
of approval. The proposed supplement to the contract is $62,500 which represents
about 10% of the total FFE package. Hansen Design will do the work under
subcontract with Thornhill Architects. Hansen has been intricately involved in the
project from the beginning. Staff recommends approval of the additional services
component, which includes design effort for the custom furniture as well as any direct
purchase furniture items, specifications and/or design of fixed equipment such as
lockers and cabinets and coordination with suppliers for delivery and installation. A
number of furniture items will be considered for construction by local high school shop
students, although specifics are pending. Staff feels that this effort has the potential to
reduce costs somewhat while providing a meaningful project for students and police
outreach.
This item was discussed at the November 23 Workshop meeting. Staff recommends
Council's approval.

10 YEAR WARRANTY:
Material and factory workmanship of standard Custom Office Design , Inc. products
are warranted for a period of 10 years for the date of invoice from our factory (unless
otherwise stated in writing), provided the products are subjected to only the usage for
which they were designed and provided they are installed in accordance with Custom

Cleaning Tips
To clean the surface, use a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap or detergent.
Difficult stains such as coffee or tea can be removed using a mild household
cleaner and baking soda; mixing to achieve a paste consistency. Use a stiff nylon
bristle brush , scrubbing (approx. 15-20 strokes) the affected area. Do not scrub
so as to mar (damage , scratch) the surface finish .
Stubborn stains that resist any of the above cleaning methods may require the
use of undiluted household bleach or nail pol ish remover. Use a cotton ball
saturated with bleach or nail polish remover (acetone), gently rub the stain for up
to two minutes. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe dry usi ng a soft
cloth . This step may be repeated if the stain appears to be going away and the
color of the laminate has not been affected .
WARNING : Prolonged ex posure of the laminate surface to bleach will cause
discoloration. Always r i nse laminate surfaces after cleaning! Failure to rinse after
cleaning can cause damage; even if a small amount of cleaning solution remains
on the surface. A dry residue may be invisible ; however, moisture from cups or
drinks can reactivate it, and result in permanently etched scars or stains over
time.

TACK BOARDS
Guilford of Maine's 1 00% recycled polyester panel fabrics are colorfast to both
water-based and solvent-based cleaning solutions and may be c leaned with all
conventional upholstery cleaning systems.
Note that the following are general recommendations for the panel fabric only .
Some fabric cleaning methods may cause damage to underlying materials in
panel or wall panel systems.
Contact the panel manufacturer for recommendations and precautions prior to
attempting any of the following procedures:
Vacuum the fabric periodically to remove accumulated dirt and dust. The
frequency of this and any other routine maintenance is determined by end use
conditions.
Blot fresh spills immediately.
Ensure that the fabric is adequately rinsed after cleaning , as residual cleaning
agents may accelerate soiling .
Have the fabric professionally cleaned whenever large stains or an overall
soiled condition occurs .
For most water-based stains, a clean , absorbent cloth dampened w ith a
detergent solution (e.g . 1 teaspoon laundry detergent/1 pint warm water) should
be applied to the stain. Blot the fabric with the treated cloth , working from the
outer edge of the stained area , moving inward . In order to effectively draw out the
stain, renew the clean ing cloth frequently. Rinse well with clear water, and dry
the fabric as quickly as practical. Oil-based stains may be treated in a s i milar
manner, substituting a volatile solvent-based clea ner for the detergent solution.
Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for using such products, and
always pretest an inconspicuous area of the fab ric for colorfastness to the
cleaning agent.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council November 25, 2015
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Regular Meeting: 12/7/15
FROM: Ahmad Qayoumi, Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement with CH2M for Process Water Reuse Facility
Engineering Report and Facility Plan
I. REFERENCE(S):
Vicinity Map
Facility Planning Map
Professional Services Agreement Summary
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve the Professional Services Agreement for the Process
Water Reuse Facility Engineering Report and Facility Plan with CH2M and, further,
authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Process Water Reuse Facility - $121,400
Private Contribution (potential food processor) - $50,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) was established 25 years ago with one food
processor. Today that number has grown to six food processors utilizing the facility.
Initially, the process was simple. The wastewater was conveyed from the food
processors and it was applied to the farms for treatment. With more inputs and greater
regulation over time, the processes and equipment have increased in capacity and
complexity. The facility has also seen considerable deferred maintenance. In some
respects, the City has lagged in the quality of the product applied to the crop circles.
Recent operational improvements have sought to address long standing concerns on
reducing the daily and weekly maintenance, such as clogging of pivots, septic issues
with wastewater and coating of the ground and crops. The improvements have also
Page 302 of 305
included farm management which has helped to apply water based on the needs of each
circle rather than an uneducated guess.
The objectives of these recently completed improvements are as follows:
1) Maintain NPDES permit compliance,
2) Reduce the constant need for maintenance by the farmers and City staff,
3) Prevent frequent shut down of pivots for maintenance,
4) Avoid clogging of pivots,
5) Avoid treated process water from going septic, and
6) Reduce wear and tear of pumps and pivot equipment.
The improvements have made a significant difference in addressing many of the above
stated concerns. However, the Washington State Department of Ecology is requiring a
supplemental Engineering Report before allowing the facility to increase its capacity to
accept and apply additional process water achieved by the recent facility
improvements.
V. DISCUSSION:
Components of this proposed work include a Facility Plan, an Engineering Report,
coordinating with a consultant regarding a Rate Study, and planning and concept
design for a new food processor. The Engineering Report will be used to document the
capacity gained at the facility from the new ponds constructed.
The Facility Plan will be used by the City to develop a long-range capital expansion
plan. This plan will evaluate the flow and characteristics of the process water, the
effluent discharge alternatives, treatment sequencing, and solids handling. The plan
will evaluate current operations and provide recommendations for greater operational
efficiency and increasing facility capacity. It will also include recommendations for
capital improvements by applying the latest technology to create additional capacity for
current food processors and to attract additional food processors.
The City has been approached by a large food processor to evaluate the possibility of
using the City's PWRF for their wastewater discharge and treatment. They are
contributing $50,000 toward the study and will, therefore, be included as part of the
Facility Study. If the food processor joins the City's facility, it will double the City’s
operations in wastewater volume handling.
Staff recommends the approval of the professional services agreement with CH2M.
This item was discussed at the November 23, 2015 council meeting.
