IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Rosa Cantu, of Cantu Trucking, has petitioned for the vacation of all the alleys in
Block 104, NP Plat and the 10 feet of the excess right-of-way for North Main, East

V. DISCUSSION:
Page 26 of 73
Block 104, NP Plat was included in the Oregon Avenue Circulation Plan adopted by
Ordinance # 3255. The streets and alleys around Block 104 have been identified as
right-of-way that can be vacated with the exception of Bonneville Street. Bonneville
Street is identified as a "keeper street"; however, the width of "keeper streets" can be
reduced from 80 feet to 60 feet. The petitioner is only seeking a reduction in the width
of North Main Avenue. The north 10 feet of East Clark street was previously vacated
in 2012.
A utility easement will be needed for the benefit of existing PUD facilities on both
North Main Avenue and East Bonneville Street.

FROM: Rick White, Director
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Vehicular Parking and Storage
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Ordinance
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance , an Ordinance adding new Sections
10.48.015 "Parking Across Designated Parking Lines" and 10.52.035 "Prohibiting
Extended Unauthorized Parking" to the Pasco Municipal Code, and further, authorize
publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Use of the public right-of-way for vehicle storage can become problematic for
neighborhoods and commercial areas. Vehicles stored within the right of way for long
periods of time can block access for emergency response, limit the access of abutting
property owners/residents, impact the ability to conduct maintenance activities and in
some cases decrease the value or marketability of a property. In commercial areas
parking is typically limited by ordinance or is sufficiently distant from residential areas
unattended vehicles over a prolonged period of time are not common.
In contrast, residential street parking is largely unregulated and complaints from within
residential areas are however on the rise. As an example, in January this year, Council
received input from a citizen that was concerned with long term parking of vehicles on
public streets. In that situation, the vehicle was licensed, not obviously disabled, was
accumulating debris underneath as it had not moved for a long period of time and was
owned by a person near to where the vehicle is parked. It appeared obvious the public
street was being used for vehicle storage.
Complaints with the Police Department and Code Enforcement were lodged. As the
Page 40 of 73
vehicle was on a public street, Code Enforcement did not have jurisdiction through the
Pasco Municipal Code. As the vehicle was licensed and was not by definition "junk" or
"abandoned," the Police Department was not able to cite the vehicle's owner for a
traffic or code offense.
An inventory of applicable PMC regulations as well as the applicable State law and
Administrative Code confirm that this situation does not fall cleanly into a category for
enforcement. For example:
Title 9 of the PMC (Nuisances) regulates nuisances but basically limits
regulating vehicles to those "abandoned, "junk" or determined to be "vehicle
hulks."
Title 10 of the PMC (Vehicles and Traffic) regulates vehicles in a variety of
settings on public streets but not if the vehicle is less than 14,000 lbs. gross
weight, is licensed and isn't a recreational vehicle (including RV's, boats,
trailers...).
Title 12 of the PMC (Streets and Sidewalks) regulates vehicles in a variety of
settings including spillage of material on public streets, parking on swales or
planting strips or otherwise interfering with normal use of the street - but not
the parking (even for long periods) of licensed and maintained vehicles.
Title 25 of the PMC (Zoning) regulates vehicles in a variety of settings but
limits the regulations to those occurring on private property.
Council reviewed the draft Ordinance at the Workshop Meetings of February 22,
March 14, and April 11, 2016.
V. DISCUSSION:
The most direct way to address issues of this type is to amend the PMC to provide a
restriction on the parking of vehicles on public streets for longer than a set amount of
time and/or other locations.
It is most likely that enforcement of this issue will be by complaint and the initial
notice or "tag" upon an unauthorized vehicle will be placed by a Police Officer or a
Code Enforcement Officer.
This most recent draft Ordinance contains shortened time periods for compliance and
substitutes enforcement by impoundment with enforcement by citation. Impoundment
of vehicles is recommended only for chronic offenders (same vehicle cited for storage
on the public streets twice within any 180 day period or that remains on the public
street 30 days or more after citation).

AN ORDINANCE of the City of Pasco, Washington, adding a new Section
10.48.015 "Parking Across Designated Parking Lines" and adding a new Section
10.52.035 "Prohibiting Extended Unauthorized Parking" to the Pasco Municipal Code
WHEREAS, Title 10 of the Pasco Municipal Code regulates parking on public streets; and
WHEREAS, Title 10 of the Pasco Municipal Code does not contain a provision for regulation of
parking on public streets otherwise functioning and licensed vehicles for extended periods of time; and
WHEREAS, Parking of vehicles for extended periods of time on public streets or other
municipal property causes build - up of debris under vehicles and invites acts of vandalism or other crime;
and
WHEREAS, Parking of vehicles for extended periods of time and storage of other personal
effects on public streets or other municipal property has adverse effects on the ability of the street or
property to effectively serve its main purpose of providing a safe and efficient mode of transportation or
location for public services; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DOES ORDAIN AS
FOLLOWS:

I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Resolution
Introduction letter from the PSD Board
PSD 2016 Update to the 2011 - 2017 Capital Facilities Plan
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution , incorporating the Pasco School
District's 2016 update of the 2011 - 2017 Capital Facilities Plan into the City of Pasco
Comprehensive Land Use Plan.
IH. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In January of 2011 the Pasco School District (PSD) informed City Council that there
was no longer the capacity to accommodate increased student enrollment due do
residential growth in the community. The District requested both the City and County
consider including the District's Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) within their respective
Comprehensive Plans and adopt a school impact fee.
Council incorporated the District's Capital Facilities Plan in the City's Comprehensive
Plan in February of 2012 and in March of 2012 adopted Ordinance 4046 (establishing
school impact fees). An Interlocal Agreement for implementation and processing of
those fees was also approved by both the District and the City. The current impact fees
established by Council through Ordinance 4046 are $4,700 (of this amount $17 is
retained by the City for offsetting administrative costs) per single family unit and
$4,525 per multi -family unit.
One of the stipulations of the Interlocal Agreement is that the District provide a report
to the City on the impact fees including the source and amount of all monies received
Page 45 of 73
and the public improvements that were financed in whole or in part by the fees.
The terms of the Interlocal Agreement also require the City to review and consider
biennial updates of the District's CFP and if appropriate, incorporate the updated CFP
into our own capital facilities element of the Comprehensive Plan. The first update
under the Interlocal Agreement occurred in 2014.
V. DISCUSSION:
The District's updated CFP contains a revised inventory of capital facilities,
recognizing the expansion of capacity as a result of the 2013 bond election, subsequent
new elementary school construction and reconfiguration of the classes attending
middle schools. The updated CFP also includes revised enrollment figures that use the
conservative 6 year forecast prepared by the Office of Superintendent of Public
Instruction (OSPI) in 2015. Forecast enrollment figures for the next 6 years show the
following:
K-6 enrollment to increase by 200 students - however, the State is expected to
reduce class size standards that will require added capacity to house an
additional total of 2,381 students in the forecast period. Existing facilities for
grades K-6 include 129 portable classrooms - of which 65 provide permanent
capacity.
Grades 7-8 enrollment is currently at acceptable levels for class size standards -
however, expected reduced class size standards will require capacity to house
an additional 126 students. Existing facilities for grades 7-8 include 64 portable
classrooms - of which 20 provide permanent capacity.
Grades 9-12 enrollment is currently over capacity by 1000+ students. With
continued growth forecast - the District will need to add capacity for 1,610
students at the high school level. Existing facilities for grades 9-12 include 25
portable classrooms at Pasco High which are considered permanent capacity
and one alternative high school - New Horizons - which is housed in 11
portable classrooms.
The 2016 District CFP Update contains revised new facility costs per dwelling unit
based on the forecast student growth, the facilities that are needed to serve that growth
and the estimated costs for those facilities. The newly calculated impact fee amounts
(based on the accepted state-wide formula used in Ordinance 4046 adopted in 2012) for
single family dwellings is $5,706 and for multi -family dwellings is $6,484. The District
is not requesting an increase or change in the amount of the established school impact
fees of $4,700 per single family unit and $4,525 per multi -family unit at this time.
It should be noted that the existing CFP is for the 2011 - 2017 timeframe. It's expected
that the District will prepare a new CFP in 2017 for Council consideration of
Page 46 of 73
incorporation into the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Council reviewed the CFP update and heard a presentation from the Pasco School
District at the Workshop Meeting of April 11, 2016. The attached Resolution will
retain the current School Impact Fees of $4,700 per single family unit and $4,525 per
multi -family unit.

Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers:
On behalf of the Pasco School District Board of Directors, I am writing to thank you for your
ongoing support of Pasco Public Schools, through among other things, the adoption and
implementation of the School Impact Fee Ordinance (Ordinance 4046). As required by the
Ordinance, the Pasco School Board of Directors approved the updated Capital Facilities Plan
(CFP) on March 22, 2016. We are submitting the enclosed 2016 Update of the 2011-2017
Capital Facilities Plan with a request that you continue to collect school impact fees in the
amount that was adopted in 2012.
Going forward, enrollment in the District is expected to continue to increase, with the majority of
the growth occurring in grades K-6. As reflected in the enclosed CFP Update, the District will
serve the forecast growth by completing remaining 2013 bond projects, constructing new
schools, adding high school capacity, and through the addition of portable classrooms. The
estimated cost for these improvements is over $200,000,000. The District will pay for the
improvements with bond proceeds, state construction fund dollars and impact fees, as reflected
in the finance plan in the CFP Update.
We understand that the imposition of school impact fees may be unpopular with some of the
people or organizations we are all elected to represent. At the same time, continued collection of
school impact fees is required in order to provide schools for students that live in new housing.
The entire community benefits when we have quality schools and we need impact fees to help
provide those schools.
We appreciate the work we have been able to do with the City through adoption and
implementation of the School Impact Fee Ordinance. We have renewed our request to have a
similar ordinance adopted in Franklin County and until such time as the County adopts a school
impact fee ordinance, we will continue to request that every new residential development in the
County mitigate impacts on schools.
If you have any questions regarding the District's 2016 CFP Update, or our request and need for
school impact fees, please contact Superintendent Hill at 509.546.2800.

Pasco School District Capital Facilities Plan Update

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
A. Purpose of the 2016 Update to the Capital Facilities Plan
The City of Pasco adopted the Pasco School District 2011-2017 Capital Facilities Plan (CFP) on
April 16, 2012. The CFP was adopted in accordance with the requirements in Ordinance 4046,
the School Impact Fee Ordinance.
Section 3.133.025 of the School Impact Fee Ordinance describes the elements that must be
addressed in the CFP. They include "the District's standard of service, an inventory of facilities,
capacity by grade span, a six year enrollment forecast, facility needs and costs, a finance plan
and calculation of the school impact fees." Once the CFP with these elements is adopted, the
Ordinance says "[t]he District shall file an update to its capital facility plan at least once every
two years." And, "[alt lease once every two years, commencing on April 15, 2014, the City
Council shall review and consider the District submitted capital facilities plan update."
This 2016 Update is being submitted to comply with the above requirements in the School
Impact Fee Ordinance. The Update identifies changes that have occurred in the District since
2011-2017 CFP was adopted. The Update supplements the core information in the already
adopted 2011-2017 CFP. The District is not requesting changes to the impact fees.
B. Changes in the Pasco School District
The District now serves over 17,300 students, an increase of 1,400 students since 2012.
Updates to the most significant issues facing the District in terms of providing classroom
capacity to accommodate existing and projected demands are:
• Steady residential development within the district's boundaries continues. The latest
demographics study (Pasco School Enrollment Forecast, Hovee, Eric and Dennis,
Paul, February 2014) predicts that housing starts may return to pre -recession
levels. Since 2012, the City of Pasco has approved the construction of 981 single
family units and 502 multi -family units.
To construct all the improvements that are required to serve forecast growth, the
District will have to ask the voters to approve additional bond measures. Approval
of a bond requires a super majority (60% yes votes). The most recent bond to
address immediate needs passed with a 62% yes vote in February 2013. Several
strategies were used to significantly reduce the cost after the previous bond failed
with a 48% yes vote in April 2011.
• After the April 2011 failure of the bond election, the Pasco School Board adopted
multiple strategies to reduce the cost of school construction for taxpayers:
o Reconfigure grade level groupings to delay the construction of a more
expensive per pupil middle school while increasing the need for additional
elementary schools;
o Use property already owned by the district for school sites;
Pasco School District Capital Facilities Plan Update
Page 2 of 19
March 2016
Page 52 of 73
o Use the Pasco design that has been built 8 times for Pasco schools, thereby
saving A/E, construction and maintenance costs;
o Two schools to share one playground, reducing the amount of land to be
purchased (Curie and Whittier);
o Build larger elementary schools to reduce the total number needed and create
efficiencies in operations;
o Build schools to serve at least 50 years; and
o Maintain school buildings well to ensure they last several decades.
• In order to reduce costs to Pasco taxpayers in the 2013 bond election, the Board
asked voters to approve the construction of three large elementary schools instead
of four, knowing that the three schools would lessen the overcrowding somewhat
but not eliminate it.
• With the addition of capacity at the elementary level, grade level reconfiguration
was implemented in the 2015-2016 school year. Middle school enrollment in grades
7-8 is now at an acceptable level for class size standards, allowing some room for
enrollment growth at the middle level.
Under the Supreme Court's McCleary decision, the Legislature is under court order
to fully fund basic K-12 education as defined by the Legislature and the
Legislature's Quality Education Council (QEC), which includes K-12 class size
reduction. The Legislature has enacted the K-3 class size reductions to be phased
in by 2017-2018. The K-3 target student -to -teacher ratio will be 17-1 (15-1 for high
poverty schools), consistent with QEC recommendations. This is a significant
change from district contractual class sizes which will be 24-1 K-1 and 27-1 2-3 in
2016. These reductions in class size will offset the new gains in capacity achieved
through construction of new elementary buildings. The District anticipates the state
will continue to adopt the QEC recommendations for K-12. This plan will be updated
if warranted by legislative action.
• The District has implemented All -Day Kindergarten (ADK) in every Pasco
elementary school beginning this school year (2015-2016). The District added
portable classrooms to meet this requirement.
The District will continue to use cost -reduction strategies Cost reduction strategies
and District construction standards save taxpayer dollars. Chart 2 in the Appendix
compares the square foot cost to build Pasco schools compared to other schools
built in the state during the same time frame to serve the same grade level spans.
Pasco construction costs are significantly lower than other school construction
costs. In every case, Pasco's construction costs were not only lower but
significantly so.
In Chart 3 in the Appendix, State scoring matrices show that Pasco School District
is effectively maintaining its schools as a community investment and asset,
according to a third party review. The schools' adjusted maintenance score is
significantly above its expected score for the facility's age, demonstrating effective
maintenance by the district. These data mean that they will last longer and be able
to serve more students before needing to be replaced.

SECTION 2
DISTRICT EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM STANDARDS
The District's core and special program needs, which are used to define the standard of service,
are addressed in the 2011-2017 Capital Facilities Plan. Elementary school class size targets
are to be implemented by 2017, and the District anticipates the Legislature will continue to adopt
the QEC recommended class sizes in the future. Below are changes the District anticipates it
will have to make to the program standards (or standard of service).
B. Elementary Educational Program Standards
By 2017-2018 the state will provide funding for a student -to -teacher ratio of 17-1 in grades K-3
(15-1 for high poverty schools), consistent with QEC recommendations and McCleary. The
class size of 15 will impact nine elementary schools which qualify as high poverty. The
remaining six elementary schools will be impacted by the class size of 17.
In addition, the District has expanded all -day kindergarten to all Pasco schools in 2015 under
State law, adding Angelou, Markham, Livingston, McGee, Franklin and McClintock. This has
required a minimum of 10 additional classrooms based on 2013 kindergarten enrollment.

SECTION 3
CAPITAL FACILITIES INVENTORY
As described in the 2011-2017 CFP, the district facilities inventory serves to establish a baseline
for determining the facilities necessary to accommodate future demand (student enrollment) at
acceptable levels of service. Three schools have been added since the 2014 update to the
CFP, resulting in an increase to the permanent capacity calculation. The District also has added
and will continue to add portables at all the schools as temporary housing.
A. Elementary Schools
As detailed more fully in the 2011-2017 CFP and 2014 update, there are now a total of fifteen
(15) elementary schools. Thirteen (13) serve grades K-6, one (1) serves grades K-2, and one
(1) serves grades 3-6. The fifteen (15) elementary schools provide capacity to serve 7,735
students in permanent capacity. As of October 1, 2015, there were 9,940 elementary students
enrolled.
There are 129 portable classrooms at the elementary schools. Since 2014, the District has
added 33 new portable classrooms as temporary capacity. This includes the modification of
septic and water service at Markham elementary to allow expansion through the addition of
portables which was completed in 2015. Of the 129 portable classrooms, 65 provide permanent
capacity for 1,365 elementary students.
The state does not count portable classrooms when calculating a district's classroom inventory
for purposes of eligibility for state assistance for construction. However, the District has counted
some portables into the permanent capacity calculation after consultation with the City of Pasco
Pasco School District Capital Facilities Plan Update
Page 5 of 19
March 2016
Page 55 of 73
and the recognition that it would likely be cost prohibitive to change all the portable capacity into
brick and mortar capacity.
B. Middle Schools
As detailed more fully in the 2011-2017 CFP, there are three middle schools. The schools now
serve grades 7-8. The middle schools provide capacity to serve approximately 2,814 students.
As of October 1, 2015 there were 2,540 students enrolled.
There are 64 portable classrooms at the middle schools. Since 2011, the District added sixteen
(16) new portable classrooms, which provide temporary capacity. Of the 64 portable
classrooms, 20 provide permanent capacity for approximately 460 students.
In 2011, the Multi Track Year Round Task Force recommended that sixth grade become a part
of the elementary schools, thereby delaying the need for middle school space and increasing
the need for elementary schools which saves the taxpayers the higher cost of building a new
middle school. The board approved the configuration change on October 11, 2011. This
change has been implemented in the current (2015-16) school year.
C. High Schools
As detailed more fully in the 2011-2017 CFP, there are two traditional high schools serving
grades 9-12. There is capacity to serve 3,931 students in the high schools. As of October 1,
2015 there were 4,904 students enrolled. One high school, Pasco High, also has 25 portable
classrooms, which provide permanent capacity for approximately 500 students.
There is one alternative high school that serves grades 9-12. The alternative school is currently
located in 11 portable classrooms and serves over 200 students.
No portables were added at the high schools since 2011.
D. Support Facilities
Bus parking has been expanded into the District's maintenance lay -down yard at the Port of
Pasco property (Building 210). The district will be leasing additional space from the Port to
replace the lost lay -down yard capacity.
D. Land Inventory
The District currently owns nine unimproved parcels. Seven are identified in the 2011-2017
CFP. Since 2014 the District acquired a 39 -acre parcel located east of Road 100, and
approximately nine and a half (9.5) acres at North Utah Avenue and East Salt Lake Street. The
district intends to sell a .33 acre parcel that was gifted to the district and is not suitable for
school purposes.

SECTION 4
STUDENT ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS
AND CAPACITY BY GRADE SPAN
A. Projected Student Enrollment
Since 2014 the District received and reviewed four enrollment forecasts. All four forecasts
predict increased enrollment. For purposes of the 2016 CFP Update, the District is relying on
the conservative 2015 enrollment forecast, which is prepared and published by OSPI. OSPI
forecasts are for six years, starting with actual enrollment in October.
In October 2011 there were 15,633 students enrolled in grades K-12. In October 2015 there
were 17,353 students enrolled, which is an increase of 1,720 students. By 2021, the forecast
predicts there will be 18,597 students enrolled in grades K-12, which is an additional 1,244
students over 2015. The District will need to add permanent and temporary capacity at the
elementary and secondary levels to serve the growth. Student enrollment projections can be
found in the Appendix, Chart 3.
B. Capacity by Grade Span
Enrollment in grades K-6 is forecast to grow by over 200 students. At the same time, class size
standards are expected to be reduced by the state. Based on the forecast enrollment increase
and the anticipated class size reduction, the district will need to add capacity for 2,381 students.
In grades 7-8, middle school enrollment in grades 7-8 is now at an acceptable level for class
size standards, allowing some room for enrollment growth at the middle level. However, class
size standards are also expected to be reduced. In that case, the district will need to add
capacity for 126 students.
Enrollment in grades 9-12 is currently 4,904 with permanent capacity for 3,931. High school
enrollment is over capacity and the forecast is for continued growth. The district is proceeding
with plans to relocate New Horizons High School which will add capacity for approximately 200
more students. The district will need to add capacity for 1,610 students at the high school level.
The current capacity in the existing schools and the capacity that is needed to serve forecast
growth through 2021 was revised based on class size reduction targets and construction
projects completed through December 31, 2015. Please see Chart 6 in the Appendix.

To help districts meet the K-3 class size reduction enumerated in RCW 28A.150.260 and RCW
28A.150,315, 2015 the Legislature approved capital funds for a grant through the School
Construction Assistance Program (SCAP) to assist districts in building facilities to achieve the K-
3 class size reduction targets. OSPI determined the district is in need of 39 classrooms to
achieve K-3 class size reduction. Districts may not use the funds to add portable classrooms.
The district applied for the funds and is awaiting news of an award. There are insufficient funds
allocated by the state to fund every district which submitted for the grant. Regardless, if the
Pasco School District Capital Facilities Plan Update

March 2016
Page 57 of 73
funds are sufficient and the funded project would be reasonably feasible, the district intends to
accept state funding. However, any additional capacity added through the grant would not
significantly address the need for added capacity due to enrollment growth.
To serve growth and address class size reduction, the District plans on constructing and
expanding additional elementary schools. The District will also relocate New Horizons High
School and expand Chiawana High School to serve 800 additional 9-12 grade students.
Portable classrooms will be used to serve additional growth and to provide temporary facilities
while funding is secured to construct brick and mortar facilities. The new schools and portable
classrooms will provide the needed capacity identified above.
In addition to building schools that add capacity for growth, the District will make other
improvements to serve students. The improvements will be constructed in phases and cannot
occur until bonds are approved by the voters. The Pasco Facilities Task Force was reconvened
in 2014-2015 and identified recommended priorities for the District. Future phases for
improvements incorporate the task force recommendations in the PFTF report which was
accepted by the Board of Directors on November 10, 2015. The improvements, along with the
added capacity and cost estimates, are set out in Chart 7 in the Appendix.
SECTION 6
CAPITAL FACILITIES FINANCING PLAN
The District's ability to fund the planned improvements that will add capacity is dependent upon
the passage of bond elections at a 60% supermajority and receipt of State Construction
Assistance Program (SCAP) funds, also known as "state match" funds. Costs for improvements
that add capacity are used to calculate school impact fees. School impact fees, or SEPA
mitigation fees, will be used to pay for improvements that add capacity; however, they only
cover a portion of the costs for the needed improvements. The majority of the costs to construct
the improvements will be paid for with bonds and capital construction funds from the state once
bonds are approved in a special election.
In addition to construction of facilities to add capacity, the district also needs to acquire school
sites for future construction, and must make a variety of improvements that are needed at
existing facilities. A key PFTF priority was to address capital facilities needs related to safety
and health. The PFTF also recommended constructing a new middle school to serve central
Pasco (replacing Stevens Middle School) which would add capacity but also address significant
capital maintenance needs. Forecast funding sources for improvements are listed in Chart 8.
SECTION 7
SCHOOL IMPACT OR MITIGATION FEES
The District's ability to fund the improvements that are needed to serve forecast growth depends
on new development contributing to the cost to build the schools that will serve the students that
live in new housing. The District is collecting school impact fees from development in the City
and will continue to request mitigation fees from developers in Franklin County. The District
files annual reports with the City regarding the use of the school impact fees.
Pasco School District Capital Facilities Plan Update
Page 8 of 19
March 2016
Page 58 of 73
The District has calculated school impact fees using the commonly accepted statewide formula,
which is in the City's impact fee ordinance. The fees are calculated based on forecast growth,
facilities that are needed to serve the growth, and the estimated costs for those facilities. The
calculated impact fee amounts, in Appendix B, are $5,706 for each single family residence and
$6,484 for each multi -family residence. However, the District is requesting the City continue
collecting the current amounts which are:
Single Family: $4,700
Multi Family: $4,525
The district began receiving impact fees from the City in 2012. To date, the district has received
$5,209,713. Of that amount, $1,250,000 was used to reduce the principal of the 2013 bond and
$2,208,772 was used to pay for a portion of the 2015-2016 portable classrooms. The district is
planning to use an additional $1,636,000 for portable classrooms in 2016, 2017, bringing the
balance to $114,941. The district will plan to use future impact fees as allowed by law, either for
continued portable classroom purchases, or towards the cost of construction of permanent
capacity to house students.
CONCLUSION
The District continues to use a variety of strategies to plan, reduce costs, and mitigate the
effects of student enrollment growth. Receipt of impact fees remains critical to ensuring the
District is able to manage growth by providing sufficient student facilities. The forecast of steady
enrollment growth over the next six years underscores the need to use a variety of financing
measures, including the passage of bonds, expenditure from the General Fund, and impact fees
to meet the needs of the community.

This number is an estimate of state match and is subject to verification by OSPI.
** This number is an estimate that assumes housing development will occur at a rate
estimated by growth projections.
*** This amount is less than the other similar elementary school because the district already
owned the land and had already completed much of the architectural and engineering
work in preparation for shovel ready construction when the bond passed.

grants for the Lewis Street Overpass project.
FISCAL IMPACT:
None
HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
authorizing staff to apply for
As part of the statewide transportation package passed by the legislature and signed
into law in 2015, the City Council's top transportation project, the Lewis Street
Overpass (LSO), was awarded $26 million. As currently structured, funding for the
LSO project will come in two separate bienniums; 2019-2021 and 2021-2023. It is
anticipated that the City will contribute an additional $3 million in local dollars toward
the project bringing the total amount of secured funding to $29 million.
As previously shared with Council, the current funding schedule adds some years to
the project. Accordingly, construction inflation and costs related to the time have to be
a consideration in completing a funding package. While the funding secured through
the transportation package is a significant step in the right direction, the projected cost
of the project, if constructed in the early 2020's, approaches $39 million in future
dollars. This leaves an approximate funding shortfall of $10 million in 2020 dollars.
Beyond inflation, the delayed schedule impacts other critical path items associated with
the project:
Page 70 of 73
1. National Environmental Policy Act Environmental Analysis (NEPA) — A
NEPA document is valid for three years. The current NEPA document was
approved in 2012 and will need to be updated prior to construction. A
conservative estimate of the cost to update the NEPA document is in the range
of $150,000 to $180,000.
2. Design documents and specifications may require modification to reflect
changes in standards for 2019 or 2020 construction. A conservative estimate
would be around $200,000 to $300,000.
The effect of the environmental (NEPA) and design updates noted immediately above
will have a combined impact of $350,000 to $480,000. The inflationary impact of 3%
compounded annually is much greater as it begins with a $750,000 increase that grows
with each passing year from the 2013 (latest) estimate.
V. DISCUSSION:
Two federal grant opportunities have recently opened up which provide opportunity to
fill the project funding gap; Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery
(TIGER) grant fund and Fostering Advancements in Shipping and Transportation for
the Long-term Achievement of National Efficiencies, also known as FASTLANE.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 appropriated $500 million to be awarded
by the Department of Transportation for National Infrastructure Investments. This
appropriation is similar, but not identical, to the program funded and implemented
pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the "Recovery
Act") known as the Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery, or
"TIGER Discretionary Grants," program. Funds for the FY 2016 TIGER program
("TIGER FY 2016") will be awarded on a competitive basis for projects that will have
a significant impact on the Nation, a metropolitan area, or a region.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) also announced that it is now
soliciting applications for the Fostering Advancements in Shipping and Transportation
for the Long-term Achievement of National Efficiencies (FASTLANE) grant program.
The FASTLANE program is a new program in the Fixing America's Surface
Transportation (FAST) Act to fund critical freight and highway projects across the
country. The FAST Act authorizes $800 million in funding for the FASTLANE
program for fiscal year 2016, with 25 percent reserved for rural projects, and 10
percent for smaller projects.
The application processes for both programs are time consuming and require many
supporting documents. One of the needed supporting items is concurrence from
Council in the form of a Resolution authorizing submission of a grant application in
either program.
