REFERENCE(S): Letter from Kyle Cox, Mid -Columbia Libraries Executive Director, dated 2/16/16 II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: To be determined IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The City and Mid -Columbia Library District (MCL) have had a contractural agreement for library services for many years. The current agreement, which runs for 10 years from January 2011, provided for MCL to develop and maintain a West Pasco branch, which was operation, per the agreement, in 2013. The agreement also provides for a payment schedule where the City's annual fee is tied to changes in MCL's annual levy (as opposed to solely the City's change in assessed value). At the request of MCL, the agreement includes language which states: "During the term of the Agreement, but not later than 2016, upon the written request of either party, the parties agree to meet and evaluate, in good faith, the potential annexation of the City into the District." V. DISCUSSION: Kyle Cox, Executive Director of MCL will be at the meeting to present the District's intent in opening annexation discussion. Staff has scheduled a follow-up meeting with District staff to continue discussions following the direction received from Council.

Dayton St. Kennewick, WA 99336 (509) 737-6357 Pasco City Hail RECEIVED FEB 2 2 2016 City Manager's Office On behalf of Mid -Columbia Libraries Board of Trustees, I would like to extend an invitation to begin dialog on, including meeting and evaluating, the possibility of the City of Pasco annexing into the Mid -Columbia Library District, per Article XIV of the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement. I recognize this is a nuanced issue which would affect both the city and the library district and will require time for reflection and deliberation. Since the signing of the Interlocal Cooperation Agreement in 2010, Mid -Columbia Libraries has made major investments into serving the residents of 'Pasco. This includes $483,280 in capital investments in 2012 in opening the West Pasco Branch, $139,300 in capital investments remodeling the Pasco Branch in 2013, as well as the additional costs of leasing, staffing, supplying, and stocking the West Pasco Branch which, in 2015, was $621,472 in direct expenses. Mid -Columbia Libraries has made this investment in good faith and in commitment to providing the residents of Pasco with excellent services. I and my staff are eager to provide any information which would be helpful to the City Council and City staff. We look forward to hearing from the City. Most Sincerely, Kyle P. Cox Executive Director cc: City Manager Dave Zabell Page 5 of 10 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council March 23, 2016 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Workshop Meeting: 3/28/16 FROM: Stan Strebel, Deputy City Manager SUBJECT: DPDA Funding Request for Cinco de Mayo I.

The planning committee has met weekly beginning in early January reviewing the past event success, challenges and what options are available to assist in providing a community wide success that speaks to the mission of the DPDA. Despite current budgetary complications, the committee has created opportunities within the event structure for revenue generation. The committee has already secured a few media sponsorships that will be able to help promote to a wide array of community members of various backgrounds and ethnicities. This has already benefited he event by spurring sponsorships from local businesses and organizations. One of the key community components of the annual event is the Cinco de Mayo Parade. This year we are working with various committed individuals from the community which will without a doubt be a great resource for an exciting parade. We are humbly requesting $5,000 from the City of Pasco for sponsorship of the 2016 Parade to assist us with the parade program development. This will help us in continuing to plan a successful event that not only downtown but the entire City of Pasco can be proud of. The committee's commitment to the DPDAs goals main strong and we are very appreciative of the support from the City. We have operated our meetings with this goal in mind: "We learn from each other, when we spend time with each other." Thank you. Yesenia Celestino Cinco de Mayo Planning Chair Jacob B.

Gonzalez DPDA Board President Page 7 of 10 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council March 23, 2016 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Workshop Meeting: 3/28/16 FROM: Rick White, Director Community & Economic Development SUBJECT: Broadmoor Area Master Plan/Planned Action SEPA Professional Service Agreement I. REFERENCE(S): Professional Service Agreement Summary IL ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: DISCUSSION III. FISCAL IMPACT: Expenditures in proportion to the approved line item in the 2016 adopted Budget ($275,000). IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: In February of 2015 the City and the major property owner in the Broadmoor area approved a letter of agreement that will transfer 5 acres of property within this area to the City for municipal uses (fire stations, community centers, parks...) as "payment" for the City's lead in undertaking planning and marketing efforts for his particular property. Staff has worked in close coordination with design and marketing professionals on this approach and has met with a measure of success in establishing this area as a promising location for commercial and residential development. At the January 25, 2016 Workshop, Council heard a presentation from the City's professional consultant on the efforts with master planning, marketing and preparing the larger Broadmoor Area for "permit ready" status. These efforts involve managing concurrent activities including: Page 8 of 10 -Establishing land use designation and locations in close coordination with Council Goals and economic factors; -Establishing "on the ground" locations for infrastructure (roads, utilities and public land uses); -Providing certainty to the development community on product expectations and return on investment; -Accomplishing environmental review and clearance; and -Providing a systematic and comprehensive approach to developing a large and valuable community asset. V. DISCUSSION: The City's adopted 2016 Budget contains funding for the next level of planning, marketing and permit preparation for this larger Broadmoor Area that is necessary to establish it as a preferred location for community and regional development The Broadmoor area provides the best location in Pasco for regional commercial development. It contains several distinctively marketable commercial and residential properties. The site possesses superior views to the south, east and west, has ease of access and is recognized for its development potential. Continuing planning, implementing utility improvements and marketing for this area is important and necessary to realize the area's development potential. The Planned Action SEPA process, which will accomplish environmental clearance is seen as a critical step the City can proactively undertake. As Pasco continues its west and northwestward growth pattern, the City will need to establish community services in the Broadmoor area. These services will require appropriate locations for a range services such as fire stations, community centers and parks. The February 2015 letter of agreement with the major landowner in this area provides the framework for location of these services to occur in this area.
