REFERENCE(S): II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: City Council formed the DPDA in December of 2010 to undertake revitalization of the Downtown area, provide management of the Pasco Specialty Kitchen and Farmer's Market and promote utilization of the fagade improvement program funded through Community Development Block Grant funds. The DPDA was licensed in Washington State as a non-profit corporation in May of 2011 and a full Board was appointed in July of 2011. The current Funding Agreement with the DPDA (which expires in December this year) provides for an annual report to be submitted to City Council prior to the end of February. V. DISCUSSION: This past year, a number of important objectives were achieved by the DPDA, including: Certification as a Main Street Community; Qualification for the Main Street Tax Credit Reimbursement Program which allows the City to receive a tax credit of $67,500 in 2016 for the City's $90,000 contribution in 2015; Page 3 of 65 Establishing the Food Truck Friday event which ran continuously through most of 2015; and Conducting a successful Cinco de Mayo Celebration. The DPDA also conducted significant outreach to the Downtown business community associated with the City's visioning effort for development of the core area (4th/Lewis) and subsequent revitalization plans in addition to conducting Business Education Seminars for downtown businesses. The Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony was conducted during the month of December and provided a fitting note at the end of the year on the resiliency and resourcefulness of the Downtown community. The ceremony was organized spontaneously by the DPDA Board with the invaluable assistance of downtown businesses and interested parties. Board members of the DPDA will provide a presentation for the 2015 Annual Report at the February 22nd Workshop Meeting and will be available to answer Council questions. Page 4 of 65
