EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) supports the City of Pasco’s comprehensive plan. Capital
and major improvements usually have very long useful lives, significant costs, and are generally
not mobile. The definition of “Capital Improvement Projects” is provided in the Introductory
Section of this CIP.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is presented in three sections:
I. Introduction: Purpose, benefits, and methodology of the CIP.
II. Fiscal Policies: Statements of requirements and guidelines used to finance the CIP.
III. Capital Improvement Projects: List of proposed capital projects, including description,
project costs, revenues and timing; as well as future operating costs.

INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION AND PURPOSE OF CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The CIP is a six-year plan for capital and major improvements which support the City of Pasco’s
current and future population and economy. The following definitions are presented to distinguish
between a capital improvement plan (CIP), Capital Projects Budget, and report of annual spending
for capital projects. Types of capital to be included in the CIP are also listed in this section of the
CIP.
I. Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
The City’s CIP is a long-range schedule of proposed public facilities, infrastructure and major
projects which includes estimated costs and sources of funding over a six-year period. The CIP is
updated annually for the purpose of confirming and/or reorganizing projects on a priority basis,
and to prepare the Capital Projects Budget. Capital project work of a like nature which occurs each
year may be included as one project in this plan. The City Council’s adoption of the CIP in no
way constitutes an appropriation of funds to a specific project.
II. Capital Projects Budget
The City’s Capital Projects Budget consists of a list of capital projects, together with amounts and
sources of approved projects and creates continuing budget authority for the life of the project
without regard to the year the spending occurs. This budget requires Council’s approval to add a
new project or to increase the total approved cost of an existing project. This budget also
communicates which projects are finished and closed. Capital project work of a like nature which
occurs each year and listed together in the CIP may be included as separate projects in the Capital
Projects Budget based on such factors as work location and construction start dates. Capital Project
Budgets may include related project work which may not meet the accounting definition of
“capital” but are directly related to the project. The Capital Projects Budget is contained as a
section in the City’s “Annual Operations & Capital Improvement Budget” document.
Repair and maintenance work, though it may be significant in dollar amount, is included as part
of the annual Operating Budget. The annual “slice” of the Capital Project Budget is also included
in the annual Operating Budget. To present an overall view for the year, the annual Operating
Budget shows the total budgeted resources and uses for the entire City for the year (including
combined annual and continuing authority items). The City’s annual Operating Budget is
contained as a section in the City’s “Annual Operations & Capital Improvement Budget”
document.
III. Capital Improvement Projects
Capital Improvement Projects are major, non-recurring expenditures for land, facilities,
equipment, or infrastructure with a useful life of five (5) years or more. Capital expenditures which
do not meet the criteria stated above and not included in this document are also included in the
capital outlay section of the City’s annual Operating Budget. Specific types of Capital
Improvement Projects may include one or more of the following:
a. Land acquisition for a public purpose;
Page 12 of 179
City of Pasco, Washington
Capital Improvement Plan 2018 – 2023 ix
b. Construction of a new facility, such as a public building, ball field, water treatment plant,
or expansion of such a facility;
c. Construction relating to the addition or replacement of infrastructure (such as pipes, streets,
etc.)
d. A non-recurring rehabilitation, or major repair of all or part of a building, its grounds,
facility, or major equipment;
e. Purchase of major equipment; and
f. Planning and feasibility studies.
CIP PROJECT CONSIDERATION FACTORS
I. Public Safety
The project must identify a clear and immediate safety risk. Requests from departments, which
deal principally with public safety, such as Fire and Police, do not automatically meet this standard.
Another department, such as Parks and Recreation, could have a project which addresses a clear
and immediate safety issue.
II. Public Health
Benefit to the environment and public health is a primary consideration. This consideration is only
used when public health is a critical factor; a matter of necessity, rather than a matter of choice.
For example, all water or sewer projects concern public health; however, this consideration would
be used only when urgent. Continual health hazards, however, would make a water or sewer
project virtually mandatory.
III. Legal Requirement
Many federal and state grants are contingent upon local participation, and such intergovernmental
agreements require legal compliance. Court orders and judgments (e.g., annexation, property
owner rights, environmental protection), also represent legal requirements which may affect a CIP
project. Consideration must be given to both existing legal requirements (e.g., federal/state
stipulation that earmarked funds must be spent by a certain date), and anticipated legal
requirements (e.g., pending annexation which is expected to be approved by the end of the year).
IV. Related Project
CIP projects in one category are essential to the success of projects in other categories. In some
instances, a street should not be developed until a storm drain has been completed. Obviously,
park development cannot proceed until park land has been acquired, but the development may also
depend upon the completion of a street project to provide access to the park. In addition,
significant federal or state grants might be involved, and the City would be required to provide its
matching share or forfeit the grant. Related projects by other agencies may affect a saving which
should be pursued.

City of Pasco, Washington
Capital Improvement Plan 2018 – 2023 x
V. Consistency with Current Master Plan
A Master Plan for a specific category of public facilities has long-term objectives set during the
planning process. City departments have an obligation to request CIP projects which support and
implement the stated goals and objectives of the Master Plan. Consideration should not be given
here to any project which does nothing to actively implement the plan, or adversely affects the
plan.
VI. Net Impact on Future Operating Budgets
The substantial cost impact of a proposed CIP project on future operating budgets of the City is an
important factor in the City's decision to construct the project. In some cases, however, a project
may generate enough revenue to offset, or even exceed, future operating costs (e.g., water or sewer
treatment plant, stadium, airport, etc.).
VII. Other
There are additional priority factors which departments may include for evaluation. Some of these
additional factors for consideration could include public support, level of service, cost savings to
the City, and impact on economic development.
WHY PLAN FOR CAPITAL PROJECTS?
There are at least three reasons to plan for capital projects: (1) good fiscal management, (2)
managing growth, and (3) eligibility for grants and loans.
I. Good Fiscal Management
Planning for major capital projects and their costs enables City of Pasco to:
Demonstrate the need for facilities and identifying how to pay for them;
Estimate future operations/maintenance costs of new facilities which will impact the
annual budget;
Take advantage of various sources of revenue (i.e., available grants and low interest
loans, etc.) which may require a CIP in order to qualify for the revenue; and
Receive better ratings on bond issues when the City borrows money for capital
(reducing interest rates and the cost of borrowing such money).
II. Managing Growth
Capital Improvement Plans are necessary in the comprehensive plan in order to:
Provide capital for land development envisioned or authorized by the land use element
of the comprehensive plan;
Maintain the quality of life for existing and future development by establishing and
maintaining standards for the levels of service of capital and facilities;
Page 14 of 179
City of Pasco, Washington
Capital Improvement Plan 2018 – 2023 xi
Coordinate and provide consistency among the many plans for capital and
improvements, including:
i. Other elements of the comprehensive plan (i.e., transportation and utilities
elements);
ii. Master plans and other studies of the local government;
iii. Plans for capital and facilities of state and/or regional significance;
iv. Plans of other adjacent local governments; and
v. Plans of special districts.
Ensure the timely provision of adequate facilities to support existing populations and
future development;
Document all capital projects and their financing (including projects to be financed by
impact fees and/or real estate excise taxes authorized by the State of Washington
Growth Management Act (GMA)).
The CIP is the element which makes the rest of the comprehensive plan real. In reality, the CIP
determines the quality of life in the community.
III. Eligibility for Grants and Loans
The State of Washington Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development's Public
Works Trust Fund requires local governments have some type of CIP in order to be eligible for
grants and loans. Most other publically funded grant and loan programs have similar requirements
(i.e. Interagency for Outdoor Recreation), or give preference to governments which have a CIP.

Capital Improvement Plan 2018 – 2023 xii
FISCAL POLICIES
FISCAL POLICIES GOAL
Provide needed public facilities which are within the ability of the City to fund the facilities, or
within the City's authority to require others to provide the facilities.
I. Financial Feasibility
The estimated costs of all needed capital improvements shall not exceed conservative estimates of
revenues from sources that are available to the City pursuant to current statutes, and which have
not been rejected by referendum, if a referendum is required to enact a source of revenue.
Conservative estimates need not be the most pessimistic estimate, but cannot exceed the most
likely estimate. Revenues for Capital Improvement Projects must be financial commitments,
which shall be sufficiently assured to be bankable or bondable by the City.
II. Financial Responsibility
Existing and future development shall both pay for the costs of needed capital improvements.
2.1 Existing development
2.1.a: Existing development shall pay for the capital and improvements which reduce or
eliminate existing deficiencies, some or all of the replacement of obsolete or worn out
facilities, and may pay a portion of the cost of capital and improvements needed by future
development.
2.1.b: Existing development's payments may take the form of user fees, charges for
services, special assessments and taxes.
2.2 Future development
2.2.a: Future development shall pay its fair share of the capital and improvements needed
to address the impact of such development. Upon completion of construct ion, future
development becomes existing development, and shall contribute to paying the costs of the
replacement of obsolete or worn out facilities as described in Policy 2.l.a, above.
2.2.b: Future development's payments may take the form of, but are not limited to,
voluntary contributions for the benefit of any public facility, impact fees, capacity fees,
dedications of land, provision of public facilities, public/private partnerships, voluntary
funding agreements, and future payments of user fees, charges for services special
assessments and taxes. Future development shall not pay impact fees for the portion of
any public facility which reduces or eliminates existing deficiencies.
2.2.c: Both existing and future development may have part of their costs paid by grants,
entitlements or public facilities from other levels of government and independent districts.
III. Financing and Debt
Page 16 of 179
City of Pasco, Washington
Capital Improvement Plan 2018 – 2023 xiii
Capital and improvements shall be financed, and debt shall be managed as follows:
3.1 Capital and improvements financed by City utility funds shall be financed by:
3.1.a: Debt to be repaid by user fees and charges and/or connection or capacity fees for
utility facilities and services, or
3.1.b: Current assets (i.e., reserves, equity or surpluses, and current revenue, including
grants, loans, donations and inter-local agreements), or
3.1.c: A combination of debt and current assets.
3.2 The net income of City utility funds shall be at least equal to the annual cost of the
following: (a) principal reductions of outstanding bonds; (b) loan requirements to Federal
or State agencies; (c) annual operating reserve increases; and (d) bond coverage
requirements per bond covenants.
3.3 Fees and charges for utility funds shall be established and maintained at a level sufficient:
3.3.a: To pay the net income requirement in each fiscal year, as described in Policy 3.2
above;
3.3.b: To pay the full cost of operation, and maintain the utility in good repair and working
order;
3.3.c: To provide an operating reserve equal to 15% of budgeted operating expenditures;
and
3.3.d: To provide a future capital and improvements reserve in an amount equal to the
average annual cost (excluding debt financing) of the approved six-year capital and
improvement program, considering any changes which, from time to time, may be made
in such program.
3.4 Leveled rate increases are preferred for City utility funds, and when possible, should be
achieved through leveled expenditures. System user rates should be evaluated regularly
and tracked to assure sufficiency.
3.5 Capital and improvements financed by non-utility funds shall be financed from either
current asset: (i.e., current revenue, fund equity and reserves), or debt, or a combination
thereof. Financing decisions shall include consideration for which funding sources (current
assets, debt, or both) will be: a) most cost effective, b) consistent with prudent asset and
liability management, c) appropriate to the useful life of the project (s) to be financed, and
d) the most efficient use of the City's ability to borrow funds.

City of Pasco, Washington
Capital Improvement Plan 2018 – 2023 xiv
IV. Operating and Maintenance Cost
The City shall not provide a public facility, nor shall it accept the provision of a public facility by
others, if the City or other provider is unable to pay for the subsequent annual operating and
maintenance costs of the facility.
V. Revenues Requiring Referendum
In the event sources of revenue listed under "Projected Costs and Revenues" require voter approval
in a local referendum which has not been held, and a referendum is not held, or is held and is not
successful, this Capital Improvement Program (CIP) shall be revised at the next annual amendment
to adjust for the lack of such revenues, in any of the following ways:
5.1 Increase the use of other sources of revenue;
5.2 Decrease the cost, and therefore the quality, of some types of public facilities, while
retaining the quantity of the facilities required to provide the appropriate level of service;
5.3 Decrease the demand for and subsequent use of capital and facilities; and
5.4 A combination of the above alternatives.
VI. Uncommitted Revenue
All development permits issued by the City which require capital improvements which will be
financed by sources of revenue which have not been approved or implemented (such as future debt
requiring referenda) shall be conditioned on the approval or implementation of the indicated
revenue sources, or the substitution of a comparable amount of revenue from existing sources.

Capital Improvement Plan 2018 – 2023 xvii
CIP PROJECTS SUMMARY BY REVENUE
Below are major funding sources available to the City to fund CIP projects:
I. Debt Financing
General and Park Projects
A well-managed debt plan can allow one to buy large items when a purchase of such magnitude
would not fit into a single year’s annual budget. City of Pasco will require debt financing
accomplish similarly large tasks Fire Stations replacement and relocation.
Complete list of projects is listed below:
Project Name Future Bond
Community Center 2,820
Relocation of Station 83 2,950
Station 84 4,600
10,370
The City Council authorizes the City Manager to sell bonds to raise revenue for capital
improvements. Those bonds are sold on the open market in exchange for cash payment,
essentially functioning as a loan for the City. In selling and managing bonds, the City seeks the
advice of both a bond counsel and an outside financial advisor. Interest rates on bond payments
are based on market conditions and the City bond rating, as determined by private rating
agencies.
The City recommends two different types of financial instruments to finance these projects.
i. Councilmanic Bonds are issued by a vote of the City Council, backed by general fund
revenues when voters have not been asked to pay increased property taxes. These may
be used for any City purpose; they do not have to be for capital projects.
ii. Limited-Tax General Obligation Bond is a municipal bond secured by some limited
taxing power of the issuer. For example, a bond may be secured by a municipality's
property tax subject to a maximum rate at which the tax may be levied. Alt hough a
limited-tax general obligation bond is considered a general obligation of the issuer,
because of the limited taxing power, this bond is considered riskier than a general
obligation bond secured by full taxing power by the investors.
Page 21 of 179
City of Pasco, Washington
Capital Improvement Plan 2018 – 2023 xviii
Utility Projects
Another debt financing option is Revenue Bonds to finance projects for any City enterprise which
is self-supporting like utilities. Payment comes from user fees; so the debt is not backed by the full
faith and credit of the City. Investors consider these somewhat less secure than general obligation
bonds as well. All CIP projects listed below for water and sewer programs with revenue bonds as
anticipated revenue were factored into the Water and Sewer rate increase made in 2016.
II. Grants and Loans
Some of the funding for larger City capital projects comes from grants and loans made by federal
and state agencies. Almost all federal funds are 'passed through' a state agency filter. Some of the
major agencies involved in funding grants and loans are Transportation Improvement Board (TIB),
Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office, Water Resources Program, Department of
Ecology, etc. Parks and Transportation projects are the largest benefactors of such grants and loans
at City of Pasco.
III. On-Going Revenue
Revenue created by services like water, sewer, taxes etc. These revenues are used to fund Capital
projects in their respective areas. City follows the applicable regulation around special revenue
funds, enterprise funds and general funds.
IV. Local Improvement District (LID)
A Local Improvement District (LID) is a method by which a group of property owners can share
in the cost of infrastructure improvements. LID’s can be used to help finance improvements
including:
Street Overlays, Repair, and Construction
Street Lighting
Utility Expansion (Water, Sewer, Storm Drain, Irrigation)
Overhead Power Conversion to Underground
Alleyway Improvements
Street Beautification and Revitalization Projects
Park Construction and Improvements

Relocation of Station 83
Project #00001
Fire Station 83 on Road 68 is responsible for covering much of the City west of Highway 395. This is a
growing area with an increasing call volume. The Washington Survey and Rating Bureau and the Fire
and Ambulance Services Master Plan both identified the need for a fire station north of Burden Blvd.
and one south of Court Street. The current location of Station 83 is between the identified areas that
need fire stations. It is suggested that the current station be relocated to the north.

Fire Station 84
Project #00002
As identified by the Washington Survey and Rating Bureau and the recently completed Fire and Ambulance
Services Master Plan, an additional fire station is needed in the Riverview Area. Currently, Fire Station 84 is
inadequate and does not meet current or future demand projections. Space for the Shift Commander and Fire
Department Administration is also inadequate as the Fire Department Administration is located in a rented
facility.

Training Facility Site Work & Modular Building Installation
Project #00003
In collaboration with the Tri-County fire departments, the PFD is party to a grant request for a modular fire
training facility. This facility is needed in order to maintain unit availability. The lack of a training facility
also negatively affected the WSRB rating for the City and was identified within the WSRB report to Council.
The establishment of a training site/facility would improve the ability to achieve the Council goal of attain-
ment of a Class 4 rating. A portion of the grant award is earmarked for instructor training and two smaller
sites within the Tri-County region.

2003 and 2008. The move of the Police Department into new facilities in early 2017 cleared the way for
renovations to accommodate some reconfiguration of spaces to better serve the public, as well as to
house growth of staff expected over the next several years. An initial remodel phase was underway in
2017 to house Information Services, relocate the Prosecutor's Office and Human Resources. Additional
phases are contemplated to update windows, relocate permitting services to the 1st floor to better serve
the public and provide additional space for Finance and Engineering.

the entire Butterfield Water Treatment Plant. The existing technology is from 1989 and was installed in the
mid 1990’s. The PLC code no longer offers drivers for any computer operating system that is currently on
the market. Upgrading the controls will allow us to take advantage of Ethernet communication and utilize
readily available and supported drivers for the software packages staff regularly uses. Additionally, replace-
ment hardware for the existing system is almost non-existent and our last major repair required bringing in a
retired technician who knew how to troubleshoot and fix this old equipment. This project will upgrade the

Waterline Extension—Schuman Lane (West from Road 96)
Project #00040
This project would install approximately 1,100 linear feet (550 linear feet if ½ of road is done) of 8” ductile
iron pipe down the length of Schuman Lane to carry potable water. Either 1 or 2 fire hydrants would be
installed to provide fire protection (depending on how far the water line is taken down the length of the
street). This street currently does not have water service provided down the length of it. Installing the
waterline would allow for development of currently vacant lots, provide existing homes an option to connect
to the City drinking water system and allow for the installation of needed fire hydrants in this area as well.
There have been several requests made to Engineering to have a water main installed in this roadway for the
above mentioned reasons. Getting water service from Court St to Schuman Ln depends on the neighbors be-
ing agreeable to allowing the service lines to cross their property. The existing homes that have City water
service have the water services and meters on Court St and the service lines to the homes run across the
neighboring properties to the north. Not completing this project hinders the development of existing vacant
lots along this street and stops the fire department from having an uninterrupted supply of water for fire-
fighting purposes on this street.

West Pasco WTP Backwash Recovery Improvements & High Service
Pump and Yard Piping
Project #16008
In addition to the treatment capacity upgrades included in phase 1, the West Pasco WTP will require
additional pumping capacity for the high service pump station and additional filter backwash capability.
Increasing water output from 6 million to 12 million gallons per day (MGD). This work will coincide with
the planned PALL micro-filter expansion project. The additional pump/piping for the high service system
will include 460 feet of 24” piping required to connect into the Zone 1 transmission main. The proposed
backwash system expansion will recover and neutralize the additional backwash waste generated from the
increased filtration required by the additional 6 MPG of capacity. Although the West Pasco WTP Phase 1
expansions will increase potable water output from 6 million gallons per day to 12 million gallons per day,
this project will be designed and constructed to process the backwash flows from the ultimate production
capacity of 18 million gallons per day at one time, due to the need of obtaining EPA approval to discharge
the waste stream to the Columbia River.

the Water Master Plan as being needed to provide additional reliability, improve available fire flows, improve
level of service to customers and meet the future required storage volumes and capacity needs for this area.
The new East Side Reservoir will also provide the option of pumping to Zone 3, thereby providing an alternate
source of supply for the Road 68 reservoir in the event of an emergency or planned maintenance. If this water
tank is not constructed and the City continues growing at the current pace, there will not be enough required
water storage to meet the Maximum Day Demand and eventually fire flow demands and emergency reserves.

Butterfield WTP - Chlorine Safety
Project #17004
This project consists of the installation of emergency air cleaning equipment at the Butterfield Water
Treatment Plant. The system is designed to remove contaminants from the atmosphere in the event of an
accidental chlorine release. This safety improvement will bring the facility into compliance with the
provisions of the 2015 International Fire Code.
The proposed improvements bring the facility into current fire code compliance. The existing ventilation
and abatement system was installed in 1987 and is no longer adequate to meet current standards. Without
these improvements, a sheared valve or punctured cylinder could not be repaired before the contents of the
one-ton chlorine cylinder had been discharged, thereby endangering both employees and the public. This
safety improvement provides greater protection to the public and first responders should such an event
occur. This equipment is used to contain the toxic atmosphere thereby eliminating the active risk to the
public and emergency services personnel.

and needs of the project need to be verified to build a cost estimate and better description. This transmission
main will be needed to efficiently deliver water from the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant to Pressure
Zones 2 & 3 after the second West Pasco Water Treatment Plant expansion. Having another line leaving the
plant would also allow for part of the plant to be shut down for maintenance while still delivering water to
the distribution system. If this line is not installed, the velocity of the water in the existing main leaving the
plant will approach or exceed the limits of safe delivery of water. If the transmission main were to break
there would be a significant amount of damage cause before the plant could be shut down. This project can
wait until the second WPWTP expansion.

Water Line Replacement—Richardson Road (Road 92 to Road 96)
Project #00043
This project would replace approximately 1,400 linear feet of existing 4” and 6” thin wall irrigation class
PVC water line and replace it with 8” ductile iron pipe in Richardson Road between Road 60 and Road 64.
The project would include the installation of 3 fire hydrants to provide fire protection. Having the proper
distribution of fire hydrants can help elevate our rating with the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau
and may help improve the fire insurance rates that property owners pay.

Water Line Replacement – Road 60 (Court St to W Pearl, 62nd
Place, W Agate between Road 60 & 62nd Place)
Project #00044
This project would replace approximately 3,000 linear feet of existing 6” thin wall PVC water line with
approximately 1,400 linear feet of 16” ductile iron pipe along Road 60 and approximately 1,600 linear
feet of 8” ductile iron pipe along W Pearl St, W Agate St and 62nd Pl. This project would not install any
new fire hydrants.
Not completing this project puts the City at higher risk of having a property damage claim from a future
leak. When there is a water main break the ground tends to wash out and settle in the area of the leak
which can put more strain on the pipe remaining in the ground and lead to more leaks. The undersized
pipe also does not provide optimum water flow to the hydrants in this area.

Water Line Replacement—Road 76 (Wernett Road to Court Street)
Project #00045
This project would replace approximately 1,700 linear feet of existing 4” and 6” thin wall irrigation class
PVC water line and replace it with 12” ductile iron pipe. The project would also install 4 new fire hydrants.
Road 76 is intended to be one of the larger water mains that supplies some of the residential areas that are
now beginning to see substantial development. The project would also help loop the 12” main that extends
down from Argent Road to the main in Court Street. Having the proper distribution of fire hydrants can help
elevate our rating with the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau and may help improve the fire
insurance rates that property owners pay. Water mains made of thin wall PVC pipe cannot be worked on in
the same manner as ductile iron pipe and thicker C900 class PVC pipe due to the fragile nature of the pipe.
Not completing this project could hinder the ability of any new properties from being able to connect to the
City Water, and stops the fire department from having an uninterrupted supply of water for firefighting
purposes on this street. This line is currently a pinch point in the water distribution system due to the smaller
size.

Water Main Connection—Alton Street (Wehe Avenue to the alley
west of Owen Street)
Project #00046
This project would install approximately 700 linear feet of 8” ductile iron water main along Alton St. from
Wehe Ave. to the alley west of Owen Ave. One fire hydrant would be installed at the intersection of Wehe
Ave and Alton St. The hydrant on Alton between Owen St and Beech St would be relocated to the new line.
This connection would help loop the water system and eliminate dead ends in the area. Looping the system
with a properly sized water main will provide opportunity to relocate a fire hydrant installed on an undersized
main and install an additional fire hydrant. Having the proper distribution of fire hydrants can help elevate
our rating with the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau and may help improve the fire insurance rates
that property owners pay. Making this connection will also provide better flows in the distribution system
and improve water quality for the customers in this area.
If this water main is not extended, there will continue to be a deficiency in fire hydrants and uninterrupted
water for firefighting purposes in this area as well as continued need for additional flushing of the dead ends.

connecting the water main coming from Road 52 to the main on Road 49. This connection would help
loop the water system in this area. It was identified as an area of improvement in the Water Master Plan.
This area has many undersized mains and dead ends which cause water quality issues that require more
frequent flushing than other areas. It would also help improve the fire flow availability to the hydrants in
the area. If this water main is not extended, there will continue to be a deficiency in fire hydrant flow and

St. from Road 36 to Road 40. The dead end water mains at the southern end of these streets would be
connected to the new water main. This connection would help loop the water system which would improve
flow characteristics of the system and eliminate dead ends in the area. Looping the system with a properly
sized water main will provide better flow for the fire hydrants in the vicinity. Having the proper distribution
of fire hydrants can help elevate our rating with the Washington Surveying and Rating Bureau and may
help improve the fire insurance rates that property owners pay. Making this connection will also provide
better flows in the distribution system and improve water quality for the customers in this area. This will
also reduce the amount of flushing maintenance required to keep the water quality high. If this water main

9th & WA Lift Station
Project #16007
Currently this lift station has inoperable suction valves, which make it unsafe for staff to perform mainte-
nance or un-plug check valves. They are forced to do this maintenance when raw wastewater continues
to flow instead of properly isolating. Access hatches pose safety issues due to old design or worn out
hatches. Safety and the fact that this is the City’s largest lift station make this lift station priority 1.
Pumps and associated piping replacement (to be determined in the assessment portion) will be needed to
keep up with increased flows.

Wastewater Treatment Plant PLCs and Controls Upgrade
Project #00059
This project will replace the existing Programmable Logic Control (PLC) and all WWTP remote I/O racks
located on the premises, which is a total of 8 racks. The current technology is from 1989 and was installed
in the mid 1990’s. The software that operations uses for animations to view their processes references the
PLC code. The PLC code no longer has drivers for any computer operating system that is currently on the
market. We now have to rely on 3rd party drivers to allow the software to communicate with the controls
by forcing information back and forth between the devices. Upgrading the controls will allow us to take
advantage of Ethernet communication and have drivers readily available and supported for the software
packages we use. It will also allow us to be less dependent on 3rd party drivers, which is a common point
of failure. This hardware and technology has outlasted its useful lifespan. New parts are cost prohibitive
due to the hardware upgrades required to support and integrate new parts therefore we have been using
used parts to band aid repairs.

West Pasco Trunk Sewer Relining (Transmission Main
Rehabilitation – Rd 60 to Rd 100)
Project #14002
This project consists of repairing and relining portions of the 30” trunk line and manholes from Road
100 to approximately Ivy Glades to repair damage from corrosion due to age and sulfide gas. The most
damage is on the downstream side of the manholes where rebar is currently showing. These will need
to be repaired to prevent future failure. The manhole repairs should be completed to avoid failure due
to exposed rebar from corrosion. This is a high sulfide gas area that is causing corrosion to the system.

This project is to address the hydrogen sulfide gas buildup and corrosion along the upper portion of Road
44. Initial steps are to complete further evaluation on Road 44 to monitor hydrogen sulfide gas and collec-
tion system pressures at multiple locations to determine the effectiveness of the bioxide system that the
City has installed. Recommended Phase 2 of improvements is to improve the confluence at the north end of
Road 44 to reduce the turbulence at this location by realigning 90 feet of sewer, replacing two manholes
and abandoning one of the existing pipe segments. This phase assumes an easement does not need to be
obtained.

N Sycamore Ave Infiltration Improvements
Project #00063
The existing drywell manages a contributing area of 0.478 acres and has received high sediment loads during
the past storm events resulting in frequent and costly sediment removal. The sediment load during prior years
may have been generated when properties within the drainage basin were under construction. If the source of
the sediment is determined to be chronic and not related to ongoing development in the neighborhood over
the last ten years, and infiltration potential cannot be restored, replace the existing drywell system with three
72-inch drywells with catch basin pretreatment and 10 LF of solid 10 -inch pipe on N. Sycamore Avenue be-
tween E. Adelia and E. Alvina Streets. The three drywells are sized to mitigate the 25 -year storm event for a
total of 0.478 acres or 0.16 cfs. Any overflow would surface flow to downstream inlets.

drywells, comprised of 72-inch modified drywells with modified Type 1 catch basins for pretreatment,
along N. Industrial Way to reduce flows to the existing infiltration facility. Drywell overflows will surface
flow to the existing infiltration facility. Additional analysis is recommended to identify any existing onsite

PWRF Drying Beds
Project #00069
This project would construct a drying bed area to dewater the material that is removed from the sand traps,
clarifier and ponds at the PWRF. Ground will need to be leveled out and a short access road built between
the area inside the fence and the location of the drying beds. The proposed drying beds would be approxi-
mately 300’ X 100’ and would be constructed in the vacant 40 acres to the west of the current facility. The
drying beds would be constructed of 4” thick asphalt with concrete “gutters” to collect runoff water and be
surrounded by an ecology block border. The beds would slope slightly to the south where runoff water
would be collected in 2 catch basins connected to drain pipe. The currently discussed method of getting rid
of the water that collects in the catch basins and drain pipe is to use a vactor truck to remove the water that
drains to the catch basins and dump that water back into the system. If the drying beds work as designed
and become a permanent part of the process, the drain pipe would eventually be extended to bring the run-
off water back into the process via a pump instead of vactor truck.

Kahlotus Hwy Sewer Force Main (Dietrich Lift Station)
Project #17003
This project is for the design and construction of a lift station that will serve multiple food processors in the
Commercial Ave-Kahlotus Highway area, a force main to the City's Process Water Resource Facility (PWRF),
and upgrades at the PWRF to increase the capacity to treat more process water. Included in the project is a lift
station with a 12-foot diameter wet well complete with a triplex pumping system and associated electrical and
mechanical equipment. Three food processors have expressed interest in this lift station. Also included is the
force main from the lift station to the PWRF and the purchase and installation of equipment to treat the
process water at the PWRF. This can potentially divert 1.5 MGD from the municipal WWTP. The City is set
to receive $2,525,000 from WA State EDA and $2,620,000 from Federal EDA grants. The City has already
obligated approx. $65,000 for the Alternative Analysis Project, along with $65,000 in City funds. Not
completing this project will hinder the ability to expand the operation, take on flows from the Grimmway

Industrial Pump Station (IPS) Improvements
Project #00070
The Process Water Resource Facility pump station is in need of repairs or replacement. The piping at the fa-

there would be no way to pump the process water out of the facility and to the crop spray fields. Processor
shutdowns would be needed until repairs could be made. This will provide funding for the PS&E and should
be considered in conjunction with the upcoming facility plan. Depending on the design of the IPS that comes
out of the Facility Plan, there could also be needed work on the 115 MG pond to relocate the point of
withdrawal out of the pond and re-grading of the bottom of that pond. That effort will determine capital costs.

SUBJECT: ATV's on City Streets
I. REFERENCE(S):
RCW 46.09.360 Allows Cities to authorize ATV use on city streets
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Several months ago, Council was emailed by a citizen requesting information on
whether the city would consider allowing ATVs to be used on city streets and roads.
Staff has taken time since the request to research the question and provide information
to Council.
In brief, state law provides the following:
46.09.360
Regulation by local political subdivisions or state agencies.
(1) Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this chapter, any city, town, county, or
other political subdivision of this state, or any state agency, may regulate the operation
of nonhighway vehicles on public lands, waters, and other properties under its
jurisdiction, and on streets, roads, or highways within its boundaries by adopting
regulations or ordinances of its governing body, provided such regulations are not less
stringent than the provisions of this chapter.
46.09.455
Authorized and prohibited uses for wheeled all-terrain vehicles.
(d)(i) A person may not operate a wheeled all-terrain vehicle on a public roadway
Page 144 of 179
within the boundaries of a city or town, not including nonhighway roads and trails,
unless the city or town by ordinance has approved the operation of wheeled all-terrain
vehicles on city or town roadways, not including nonhighway roads and trails.
(ii) Any public roadways, not including nonhighway roads and trails, authorized by a
legislative body of a city or town under (d)(i) of this subsection must be listed publicly
and made accessible from the main page of the city or town web site.
Cities are allowed under Washington Law to allow ATV’s on city streets with a speed
limit under 35 MPH. They are required to follow the regulations listed here. The city
has been approached by some residents that would like the city to consider allowing
this.
From the staff review it appears that communities that allow ATV’s on city streets
seem to be in areas where ATV trails are in abundance (surrounding, typically a small
town) and are possibly a visitor/tourist/recreation draw. Groups in these communities
seek authorization for the ATVs on public roads/streets to facilitate continued
recreation by creating convenience and interconnectivity. Staff was unable to find any
city the size of Pasco in Washington that allows ATV’s on public roads.
Staff was unable to find a national standard for ATV use on public roadways. In the
interest of providing both sides to Council, the following statements embody advocacy
of the topic:
“Rural Tippecanoe County, Ind., is considering opening more country roads to ATVs.
Jay Jackson, executive director of American Bikers Aimed Toward Education
(ABATE) Indiana, a motorcyclists’ rights group that also represents off-road riders, has
spoken in favor of the measure. He said accidents often involve alcohol use or reckless
riding, and that risks can be managed through education and regulations such as
requiring driver’s licenses, as Indiana law does. “We’re not suggesting you see these in
downtown Chicago driving around and mixing with taxis,” he said.”
“ATV enthusiasts acknowledge the vehicles can be dangerous if not driven properly,
but they say the risks are overstated. Thirty-five states allow local jurisdictions to
authorize ATVs on some roads or road shoulders, according to a study by the
Consumer Federation of American. While no one tracks how many local governments
have offered ATVs access to local roads, the number is rising, as are ATV sales."
“In Iowa, at least 17 counties allow all-terrain vehicles on public roads, and a state
official said that number could climb to 30 counties by next fall. It’s a similar trend in
Minnesota, where at least a dozen counties permit some ATVs on r oads, and in
Indiana, where about half of counties do so."
“West Virginia and Montana allow ATV use on most roads other than highways. Utah
lawmakers voted in 2015 to allow street-legal ATVs on the shoulders of all roads
except interstate freeways.”
Page 145 of 179
“Riders say manufacturers’ warnings are more about limiting liability than averting
serious danger. They regard opening up public roads as a common-sense move that
carries little risk and can spur desperately needed economic growth in rural areas by
attracting riders and increasing vehicle sales."
“Michael Rygh, who co-owns an ATV shop in Algona, Iowa, said a recent decision to
open up Kossuth County roads to the vehicles has already boosted sales. He’s
confident accidents will be rare.”
“In Iowa’s Louisa County, Tim Gerst said he had little trouble rounding up 400
signatures on a petition asking supervisors to permit ATVs on county roads. He
acknowledges that people get hurt on the vehicles but insists “there’s nothing you can
do in life that doesn’t carry risk.”
Perhaps the opposition for allowing ATVs on public roadways and streets is best
summarized in the attached statement from the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America,
which cites a number of statistics and studies which inform its position.

Quick Facts For a Safer Ride
United States
CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY COMMISSION
MAY 22, 2014
There are more than 700 deaths and 100,000 injuries each year involving ATVs, according to CPSC’s most recent data. By following the key safety tips below, hundreds of deaths
and thousands of injuries related to ATVs could be prevented.
Stay Off of Paved Roads
ATVs are designed to be driven on off-road terrain and are difficult to control on paved roads where they are at risk of overturning or colliding with cars and trucks.
In some states, it is illegal to ride ATVs on paved roads. Check the state or local laws and regulations where you plan to ride.
CPSC is deeply concerned that some states and local governments are changing their laws and ordinances to allow ATVs to be used on paved roads. CPSC, the ATV
industry, and consumer advocates are united in our belief that riding an ATV on a paved road can result in tragedy.
Never Allow Children Younger Than 16 on Adult ATVs
More than 90 percent of ATV-related injuries involving children can be attributed to a lack of
developmental skills needed to maneuver the faster, more powerful adult ATVs.
Children younger than 16 should be on one of the age-appropriate youth models, which are required to travel at lower speeds than adult ATVs and to have an adjustable speed
limiter.
All ATVs should be equipped with a label that indicates the manufacturer’s recommended age for that particular model.
Children younger than 6 years of age should never be on any ATV -- either as a driver or passenger.
Don’t Allow More People on the Vehicle Than It Was Designed to Carry
A single-rider ATV should only have one person on it -- the driver.
ATVs are designed for interactive riding. The driver must be able to shift his or her weight freely in all directions. Passengers can inhibit the driver’s ability to safely control the
ATV and it could roll over or crash.
Most ATVs sold today are single-rider ATVs, which are not equipped with handholds or footrests for passengers.
Always Wear a Helmet and Other Protective Gear
CPSC and the ATV Safety Institute recommend U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and/or the Snell Memorial Foundation (Snell) certified helmets.
Riders should also wear goggles, gloves, long pants and a long-sleeved shirt, and over-the-ankle boots.
Get Hands-On Training
CPSC recommends that all ATV drivers -- adults and children -- take a hands-on ATV safety course from a qualified instructor.
Many deaths and injuries occur when an inexperienced driver loses control of an ATV, is thrown from an ATV, overturns the vehicle, or collides with a fixed object or a motor
vehicle. Hands-on training can give experienced and first-time riders the skills to handle multiple riding situations that can happen in off-road conditions.
Courses are offered by the ATV Safety Institute. Riders can also check with the National 4-H Council, local ATV rider groups, state agencies and some ATV manufacturers.

POSITION IN OPPOSITION TO ON-ROAD OPERATION OF ATVs
The Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA) is the national not-for-profit trade association
representing manufacturers and distributors of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in the United States. SVIA's
major goal is to promote the safe and responsible use of ATVs.
Tens of millions of ATV users ride their ATVs in a safe and appropriate manner every day. In addition to
their popularity for responsible outdoor recreation, they are tremendously useful products and have
become an essential tool for farmers, law enforcement officials, the military and others.
The majority of accidents and injuries are caused by misuse of the ATV. Ninety-two percent of ATV-
related fatalities involve behaviors that the Industry warns against in its rider education programs, in all
literature and on vehicle labels. These behaviors include children riding adult-sized ATVs, operating on
paved roads, operating without a helmet or other protective safety gear, carrying passengers on single-
rider ATVs and operating under the influence of alcohol.
ATVs are designed, manufactured and sold for off-road use only. On-road vehicles must be
manufactured and certified to comply with U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standards (FMVSS). These safety standards consist of extensive and detailed compliance
requirements. Since ATVs are not intended to be used on-road, they are not designed, equipped or tested
to meet such standards. Permitting on-road use of ATVs, including modified ATVs, would be in conflict
with manufacturers’ intentions for their proper use, and would be contrary to federal safety requirements.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has analyzed U.S. Department of Transportation’s Fatality
Analysis Reporting System (FARS) data on ATV rider fatalities occurring on public roads. In 2013, the
most recent year for which the data is available, 319 ATV riders were killed on public roads. This is an
increase from 2012 when 304 riders were killed on public roads and from 2011 when there were 305
ATV rider fatalities occurring on public roads. Eighty-nine percent of the fatalities occurring on public
roads were on rural roads. Of those, sixty-eight percent were on minor roads.
ATV fatalities occurring on public roads comprise a significant portion of total ATV-related fatalities, as
reported by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. If ATVs could be kept off of public roads, as
urged by SVIA and as contained in our Model State ATV Legislation, a large percentage of ATV-related
injuries and deaths would be prevented.
CPSC’s 2014 Annual Report of ATV Deaths and Injuries, the most recent available, found that estimated
ATV-related fatalities have declined each year from 2007 through 2014 but noted that data collection for
2012-2014 is ongoing. As a percentage of total ATV-related fatalities, on-road fatalities were an alarming
48.7 percent of the total in 2011 (the latest year of complete data available from CPSC). This is even
though ATVs are not manufactured for or intended to be operated on highways and vehicle labels and
owner’s manuals clearly warn against such use.
Imagine the progress that could be made in reducing ATV-related injuries and deaths if states were to
enact and enforce laws to prohibit ATV use on highways.
Riding on public roads introduces the possibility of the ATV colliding with a car or truck, an obviously
dangerous situation. Another CPSC study of 3,200 ATV-related deaths that occurred between 1985 and
Page 148 of 179
1996 found that the most frequently reported hazard pattern (56 percent of all ATV incidents) involved
collisions and 35 percent of these involved collisions with motorized vehicles.
SVIA emphasizes that ATVs are not designed, manufactured, or in any way intended for use on public
streets, roads or highways and urges that on-highway use of ATVs be prohibited and that law
enforcement efforts be strengthened to eliminate this dangerous practice.
It should be noted that for purposes of prohibiting ATV use on public roads, SVIA does not consider such
public thoroughfares as logging roads, woodland trails or other unimproved ways to be public streets,
roads, or highways and the prohibition on allowing on-road use of ATVs should not be meant to apply to
a road that is part of a designated trail system permitting ATV operation.

About the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America
The Specialty Vehicle Institute of America, based in Irvine, California, is a
not-for-profit trade association sponsored by Arctic Cat, BRP, Bush Hog,
Honda, John Deere, Kawasaki, KYMCO, Polaris, Suzuki, Tomberlin and
Yamaha. The organization was formed in 1983, to promote the safe and
responsible use of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) through rider training
programs, public awareness campaigns, and state legislation, and serves as
a resource for ATV research, statistics, and vehicle standards.

What is an All-Terrain Vehicle?
In 1985, the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America began development of a
standard, which established the requirements for equipment, configuration,
and performance of four-wheel all-terrain vehicles in the United States. In
1990, the American National Standards Institute approved the first standard
for all-terrain vehicles. In 2001, the standard was revised to modify certain
definitional language and add several provisions to enhance and clarify the
standard. SVIA is currently engaged in maintaining the 2001 standard as
required by ANSI to ensure it reflects the ATV marketplace.
An all-terrain vehicle is defined as a motorized off-highway vehicle designed
to travel on four low pressure tires, having a seat designed to be straddled
by the operator and handlebars for steering control. ATVs are subdivided
into two types as designated by the manufacturer. Type I ATVs are intended
for use by a single operator and no passenger. Type II ATVs are intended for
use by an operator or an operator and a passenger, and are equipped with a
designated seating position behind the operator designed to be straddled by
no more than one passenger.

All-Terrain Vehicle Sizes
ATVs are not one size fits all. The ATV industry has recommendations for
the age of the rider and the size of ATV. It is recommended that youth 6 and
older ride an ATV with an engine size less than 70 cubic centimeters. Youth
12 and older should only ride an ATV with an engine size of 90 cubic
centimeters or less. Only youth aged 16 years or older should be allowed to
ride an ATV with an engine size greater than 90 cubic centimeters.
Age 6 and older (Y6)
Age 12 and older (Y12)
Age 16 and older (Adult)
Nearly 90 percent of all youth ATV-related injury incidents involve a youth
riding an adult-sized ATV, meaning an ATV with an engine size greater than
90 cubic centimeters.
Even though a child is of the recommended age to ride a particular size ATV,
not all children have the strength, skill or judgment needed to operate an
ATV. Parents should supervise a child’s operation of the ATV at all times and
should allow continued use only if they determine that their child has the
ability and judgment to operate an ATV safely.
There is no sure way to predict whether a child will be able to ride an ATV
safely. However, to aid in the decision-making process, parents and
guardians should carefully consider their child’s:
• Physical development
• Social and emotional development
• Reasoning and decision-making ability
• Visual perception and motor development
Page 154 of 179

Youth ATV Models
Youth model ATVs are manufactured with the following features:
• Speed Limiting Device
• Requires tool to adjust
• Limits speed to a maximum of 10 mph (Y6) and 15 mph (Y12)
• Set to limited speed when delivered from manufacturer
• Maximum Unrestricted Speed
• 15 mph for Y6 category
• 30 mph for Y12 category
• Lighting
• No headlamp or taillamp
• Remote Engine Cut-Off Switch (Selected Models)

ATV Market Information
Annual sales of ATVs have increased over 200 percent since 1995 to an
estimated 856,000 units in 2006.
There are over 7 million ATVs in use in the United States, being operated by
more than 16 million Americans. The median age of an ATV owner is 37
years old, and nearly a third of owners are between the ages of 24-38. ATV
owners have a median annual household income of $52,800. Over a quarter
of ATV owners classified themselves as blue-collar laborers, and more than
half gave their level of education as high school or less. Other facts about
ATV owners:
• 58 percent are married
• 86 percent are male
• 23 percent have professional/managerial occupations
• 75 percent ride as a family recreational activity

Lifetime Learning Program Reaches Out to Children and Parents
Working with Lifetime Learning Systems, a division of Weekly Reader, SVIA’s
member companies sponsored a public education program initiative to
reduce ATV accidents and injuries among children and adolescents.
The goal of the program is to educate young ATV operators, their families
and community leaders about the safe and responsible use of ATVs and the
impact that ATV use has on the environment.
Teachers, parents and students, as well as community agencies and
organizations such as police and fire departments, 4-H clubs and ATV rider
groups have used the program.
Lifetime Learning has developed and distributed
“Protect Yourself. Protect the Planet.” kits to
20,000 middle schools and high schools in rural
areas nationwide that were used in the classroom
in the spring of 2005.
The kits include a teacher and community leader
guide, student activity booklet, parent take-home
brochure and classroom poster designed to
enhance awareness among young people in
grades 5 – 12 about the important safety and
environmental considerations of ATV use.
The program materials also remind parents of
their responsibility in ensuring their child is properly trained and supervised
when riding an ATV.
Based on historical experience, Lifetime Learning estimates that each school
kit is used by three teachers, seen by 300 students, and by one parent or
guardian per child.
This means the program has the potential of reaching more than 5.4 million
children and adults with messages regarding the appropriate size ATVs for
children, the need for helmets and protective gear, and the “golden rules”
for safe ATV operation.

ATV Industry’s Call-to-Action for Improving ATV Safety
ATV rider safety is the top priority of the major ATV manufacturers, their
dealers, distributors, and the riding community. Collectively, the industry
believes the most effective way to reduce ATV-related injuries is through a
three-pronged approach that includes:
1. Enforceable State and Federal Legislation
2. Rider Training and Education
3. Parental Supervision
The most effective way to further strengthen ATV safety is through state
legislation. As with safety measures for other motorized vehicles such as
automobiles and motorcycles, state legislation is needed to regulate ATV
use. Reinforced by federal legislation focusing on the product to make sure
they are in compliance with the current vehicle standard and provided with
appropriate product support.
The ATV industry strongly supports the
enactment and enforcement of state
legislation that enhances ATV rider safety,
and has long promoted the Specialty Vehicle
Institute of America’s model state legislation
that imposes age limits and other restrictions
on ATV operation.
Member companies of the ATV Safety Institute offer free training nationwide
to purchasers of new ATVs. The ATV Safety Institute’s ATV RiderCourse is a
hands-on training course conducted by a licensed Instructor. The course
offers students an opportunity to increase their safety knowledge and to
practice basic riding skills in a controlled environment. Since 1989, the ATV
Safety Institute has trained 750,387 students.
The final important element is parental or adult supervision for all riders
under the age of 16. Parents and guardians literally hold the key to a child’s
safety. Every ATV has an ignition key, and the person who controls the key,
controls the use. Parental supervision is a key element for a child’s safety;
children under the age of 16 should be supervised at all times when riding
an ATV.
Page 158 of 179
8
Specialty Vehicle Institute of America’s Model State ATV Legislation
The majority of ATV-related accidents and fatalities involve behaviors that
the industry warns against in its rider education programs, in all its
literature, and on-vehicle labels. Since 1986, the ATV industry has
advocated for state legislation that aims to regulate these problematic
behaviors. The primary safety components of the model law include:
Education and Training
Provides for state implementation of a comprehensive ATV safety education
and training program. The program shall provide for the hands-on training
of ATV operators. All persons operating an ATV on public land shall have a
safety certificate. Except as provided, all operators seeking a safety
certificate must receive training. Provides for certification of safety
instructors. Fees collected for training and certificates shall be retained in a
dedicated fund to support the ATV safety training and education program.
Age Restrictionsi
(a) ATVs with engine capacity 70 cc up to and including 90 cc shall be
operated on public land only by those aged 12 and older.
(b) ATVs with engine capacity greater than 90 cc shall be operated on public
land only by those aged 16 and older.
(c) Persons under age 16 shall be under continuous adult supervision while
operating an ATV on public land.
ATV Equipment Requirements when Operated on Public Land
(a) Lighted headlamp and tail lamp when operated during hours of darkness;
(b) Brake system maintained in good operating condition;
(c) Effective muffler system in good working condition;
(d) Effective spark arrester in good working condition.
Page 159 of 179

ATV Operator Prohibitions on Public Land
(a) Operation in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger or to cause
injury or damage to any person or property.
(b) Operation on any public street, road, or highway of this state except for
purposes of crossing, as specified.
(c) Operation unless wearing eye protection and an approved safety helmet.
(d) Carrying of a passenger, unless designed by manufacturer to carry one
passenger.
(e) Operation while under the influence of alcohol or any controlled
substance, or under the influence of a prescription or non-prescription drug
that impairs vision or motor coordination.
ATV Retailer Prohibitionsii
(a) No person shall knowingly sell or offer to sell at retail an ATV of 70cc or
greater for use by a person under 12 years of age.
(b) No person shall knowingly sell or offer to sell at retail an ATV of greater
than 90cc for use by a person under 16 years of age.
Provides penalties for violations

Conclusions
The CPSC's recently issued 2005 Annual Report of ATV Deaths and Injuries
("2005 Annual Report") shows that the estimated injuries per 10,000 ATVs
declined for the fourth year in a row and is now at its lowest point since
1998. These declines have occurred even while the number of four wheel
ATVs in use increased by 700,000 units between 2004 and 2005. The 4-
wheel ATV injury rate declined 9 percent over the same time period.
The 2005 Annual Report also shows that the number of estimated all-terrain
vehicle injuries involving children under 16 fell 10 percent between 2004 and
2005, and has fallen from 37 percent of all ATV-related injuries in 1998 to
30 percent in 2005. The risk of fatality per 10,000 ATVs has likewise
declined from 1.4 per 10,000 in use in 1999 to 1.1 per 10,000 in use in
2004.
Since 1998, the number of ATVs in use has more than doubled. Yet, for the
eight year time period since the CPSC’s new injury sample and methodology
has been in place, there has been no appreciable upward trend in injury risk
and, as noted, the injury risk has declined since 2001 and is now at its
lowest point since 1998. When the rising population of ATVs in use is taken
into account, there has been no appreciable upward trend in either injury or
fatality risk since 1998 and 1999, respectively.
With that said, while the ATV injury trend is improving, the industry believes
that even one injury is one too many. The ATV industry is committed to the
safety of its customers and will continue to work with the CPSC, user groups,
retail dealerships, and all others interested in promoting ATV safety through
model state legislation, rider training and education, parental supervision,
and rider responsibility.
The vast majority of ATV-related accidents and fatalities involve behaviors
that the ATV industry warns against in its rider education programs, in all its
literature, and on vehicle labels. In fact an analysis of a random sample of
CPSC in-depth investigations (IDIs) of ATV fatalities in the U.S. during 1997-
2002 showed that 92 percent of the fatalities were associated with one or
more “warned against behaviors.”

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council August 22, 2017
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Workshop Meeting: 8/28/17
FROM: Rick White, Director
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: CDBG Program Section 108 Guaranteed Loan Program (MF# BGAP 2017-
007)
I. REFERENCE(S):
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has established the
Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program ("Program") in order to provide below market
rate loans for qualified projects that serve the needs of low and moderate income
persons. This program may be instrumental in accomplishing important pieces of
Downtown Revitalization. As a Grantee receiving funds through the HUD Community
Development Block Grant Program (CDBG), the City of Pasco meets the criteria to
participate in the Program.
Recipients may borrow up to five times their annual CDBG grant, enabling them to
maximize the impact of available public funds by leveraging grant resources into
private loans. Section 108 is a loan guarantee program, not a grant. It offers lower rates
both variable and fixed, and flexible repayment terms to meet project-specific needs
and provides funding to finance a wide variety of eligible activities. The maximum
Section 108 loan capacity would be $3,475,000, based on the program year 2017 award
of $695,000.
The CDBG entitlement annual allocation would be pledged in addition to other
collateral. Repayment of the loan would be over twenty (20) years. Loan repayment
may be made from program income, repayment of loans, or from the CDBG annual
entitlement. If the loan were repaid strictly from the CDBG entitlement funds, the
annual allocation typically awarded by Council for infrastructure projects would be
reduced for the amount of the loan repayment. For example, instead of allocating
Page 165 of 179
$200,000 each year for the next five (5) years for infrastructure projects, the total
amount of $1,000,000 may be used to complete projects in one year, and repaid over
time.
V. DISCUSSION:
Eligibility for the Section 108 program is substantially the same as participation in
CDBG. Proposed projects must be eligible activities per 24 CFR 570 and meet
National Objectives (24 CFR 570.208) such as job creation/retention, area benefit,
limited clientele and housing.
The Downtown Revitalization Plan and Peanuts Park renovation projects are eligible
activities which would qualify as area benefit. Purchasing a vacant building for the
purpose of renting space to a small business would qualify as low-moderate job
creation.
Other examples of eligible projects:
1. Real Estate/site-specific gap financing, projects promote additional private
investment in target area.
2. Location based loan pool to encourage neighborhood development, leverages
existing programs, request for applications to identify potential projects, market
research and stakeholder analysis.
a. Redevelopment of vacant/historic properties for reuse;
b. Mixed use commercial and retail development;
c. Gateway development; and
d. Flagship business.
3. Strategies to cultivate healthy markets
a. Infrastructure and public facilities;
b. Transit-Oriented development;
c. Mixed use commercial and retail development;
d. Business development loans; and
e. Focus on downtown through additional incentives.
Interest rates charged on interim borrowing is priced at the three-month London
Interbank Offered (LIBO) rate, plus 20 basis points. Permanent financing is pegged to
yields on Treasury obligations of similar maturity to the principal amount. A small
additional basis point spread, depending on maturity, will be added to the Treasury
yield to determine the actual rate.

SUBJECT: Create Local Improvement District (LID) for Chapel HIll Boulevard, between
Road 68 and Road 84, and possibly for Road 76 north from Argent Road to
Chapel Hill Boulevard
I. REFERENCE(S):
Vicinity Map
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Capital Facility Fund(s) for upsizing roadway and City utilities
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
This property is bounded by Interstate 182 on the north, West Argent Road on the
south, North Road 84 on the west, and North Road 68 on the east. This propert y was
formerly owned by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The City of Pasco
recognizes the need for maintaining a level of development standard and connectivity
through this property, not only for these potential new property owners, but also its
citizens that will utilize these streets for ingress and egress through this expansive
development. To that end the City has a vested interest in the development of the DNR
property, hiring an engineering consulting firm, Trantech, Inc., to create preliminary
design alternatives for both Chapel Hill Boulevard and North Road 76 to better guide
development of this property. The need to provide safe and consistent ingress, egress,
and continuity to the citizens of Pasco also makes the formation of a capital
improvement LID a viable consideration.
Page 168 of 179
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff believes a project needs to be created to complete Chapel Hill Boulevard between
Road 68 and Road 84. Landowners in the area are considering road improvements
associated with the development of their property. As property is developed, the
owners would be required to construct the adjacent section of the roadway. However,
this approach could lead to piecemeal construction of the proposed roadway.
Therefore, City staff and landowners believe the area would be best served if Chapel
Hill Boulevard is constructed in its entirety as a single project.
Chapel Hill Boulevard abuts five (5) parcels owned by two (2) separate entities. The
project would also facilitate development of three (3) additional parcels by improving
access to the City's roadway and utility system. Since the benefits of constructing
Chapel Hill Boulevard will extend beyond the immediate roadway, it is proposed the
LID assessments be based on parcel area.
Construction of Chapel Hill Boulevard and the associated utilities have an area -wide
significance, in addition to the meeting needs of the adjacent development. Therefore,
an additional traffic lane will be required, as will upsizing of the water and sewer
pipelines. Reliability and redundancy of the irrigation system will also be improved.
Staff recommends the city pay for the added traffic lane, upsizing the utilities, and
irrigation system improvements outside the limits of the roadway project.
Construction of Road 76 from Argent Road north of Chapel Hill Boulevard may also
be included in the LID. Road 76 is abutted by three (3) developable parcels, two (2) of
which also abut Chapel Hill Boulevard, and a Pasco School District parcel. The
decision to include Road 76 in the LID will be determined after discussion with
property owners.
Staff will be meeting with property owners in September to discuss the project. Staff is
also refining roadway cross sections and the upsizing requirements to meet area-wide
needs.

SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement for Design of Lift Station Improvements
I. REFERENCE(S):
Vicinity Map
Professional Services Agreement Summary
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion:
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Sewer Utility Fund: $312,900
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
This Professional Services Agreement is for the design of a complete lift station
to replace the Pearl Street Lift Station; a preliminary design for upgrades to the
Road 36 Lift Station; and furnishing technical non-design services to assess
the existing conditions at the 9th and Washington and Maitland Avenue Lift
Stations including identifying improvements and equipment replacement
necessary (with participation of City of Pasco (COP) Engineering and
Operations Personnel), and preparing equipment and electrical procurement
specifications/technical descriptions for execution under maintenance activities.
All four lift stations were identified as needing improvements in the
Comprehensive Sewer Plan adopted by the City Council in May of 2014.
The Pearl Street Lift Station improvements will include replacement of the
existing lift station with a new lift station located in the immediate vicinity.
Additionally, the existing force main pipeline will be replaced by slip -lining the
Page 171 of 179
existing force main with a smaller diameter pipe.
Preliminary design work for the Road 36 Lift Station included in this PSA
includes the following:
• Define design flows
• Identify replacement or interim pump
• Develop partial preliminary plans
• Recommend procurement method for a replacemen t pump
Technical non-design services for the 9th and Washington and Maitland
Avenue Lift Stations included in this PSA include the following:
• Observe, assess and photo document the existing conditions
• Review COP provided records, drawings, manuals, and maintenance
records
• Facilitate and participate in meetings with COP personnel to make “field
based” engineering decisions on needs and priorities
• Investigate and evaluate equipment upgrade options
• Develop specifications for the COP to use to procure equipment and
materials
• Provide limited technical observation of replacements/improvements
• Provide limited troubleshooting support
It is anticipated that the Maitland Lift Station improvements will be limited to the
installation of a new small capacity jockey pump with a variable frequency drive
to reduce pump cycling during low flow periods. The Maitland Lift Station
improvements will be included in the 9th & Washington contract documents as
an additive alternative.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) was distributed to members of the City of
Pasco Municipal Research and Services Center Consultant Roster. The City
received seven submittals considered to be responsive which were
subsequently reviewed and scored by a Consultant Selection Committee
comprised of City staff from Engineering and Operations Divisions. The top
three consultants were invited to interview, and ultimately the Committee chose
HDR, Inc., to prepare the design plans based on both the scored submittals
and the interviews.
The original HDR proposal exceeded the COP design budget and several
months of negotiations were conducted to reach agreement on a revised
technical approach, work scope, and budget to accomplish the tasks.
HDR will provide engineering, technical assistance, and project management
services for the development of the proposed lift station improvements at each
of the four locations. The fee for the work proposed is the Not To Exceed Sum
of $312,900 and the proposed schedule provides for completed designs in
Page 172 of 179
early 2018 with Bidding and Construction to follow on each of the projects, as
funding is available, beginning in 2018.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Professional Services Agreement with
HDR, Inc.

Executive
SUBJECT: Amendment to Legislative Consultant Agreement with Gordon Thomas
Honeywell
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Amendment to Legislative Consultant Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
For the year ending 08/31/17 - $13,334 additional
Beginning 09/01/17 - $55,000 annual cost, plus expense not to exceed $3,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City has employed the services of a legislative consultant for each of the past
twelve years. In doing so, the City has realized several accomplishments which likely
would not have happened but for the particular services of the consultant's work.
In the 2015 Legislative Session, the City was awarded $26 million in (2019-2021)
funding for the Lewis Street Overpass and $2.625 million for the Kahlotus Lift Station
projects. In the recently completed 2017 Legislative and Special Sessions, Gordon
Thomas Honeywell (GTH) assisted in helping to secure $2 million in advanced
funding for the Lewis Street project, enabling the City to complete environmental and
design work critical to the project. GTH also assisted in making progress on the
release of the Road 68 DNR property and fiscal and policy reforms for the Main Street
Program.
It is proposed to continue to contract with Gordon Thomas Honeywell (GTH) on an
ongoing basis, unless either party gives 60 days prior notice of termination for the
ensuing year. Total compensation is proposed to change from the prior agreement of
Page 176 of 179
$40,000/year. The proposed agreement provides for payments of $4,583.33/month
resulting in total annual compensation of $55,000. Expenses are limited to $3,000
annually, the same as previous agreements with GTH. While the consultant will
perform the general legislative duties listed, the greatest value will be the consultant's
effort to obtain additional state funding assistance for the Lewis Street overpass, a
priority project of the City which is simply too costly for the City to construct on its
own, as well as other priority capital projects and/or policy initiatives, such as the
revitalization of Peanuts Park and the Farmer’s Market and advocacy on legislation for
the Public Facility District; the City’s reimbursement for its Safe Drinking Water
Revolving Fund Loan or for protecting the City’s authority in certain areas when State
pre-emption is proposed.
V. DISCUSSION:
The value of an effective legislative consultant is clear when measured by the success
the City has realized over the past several years. Continuing such a relationship is
imperative if the City desires to continue to seek assistance via the State Le gislature
(whether by appropriation or statutory language).
The additional compensation for the current ending year is justified by the fact that the
Legislature held these special sessions, greatly increasing the effort required of GTH to
maintain its presence in Olympia. It is anticipated, that with a longer list of projects
and priorities, the time and effort of GTH on behalf of the City will need to be
increased correspondingly for the upcoming year.
GTH has the advantage of a Washington DC office; thus, the opportunity to pursue a
coordinated effort (state and federal) to obtain the funding assistance necessary for
construction of the Lewis Street Overpass project. The proposed scope of work will
address the City's 2018 legislative agenda, though it may be revised by year-end.
In view of the potential 2018 legislative benefits, staff recommends approval of the
proposed agreement.
