IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Staff presented on Homeless Provisions and Resources at the February 12th Workshop
Meeting. As a follow-up a presentation on Community Housing Resources was given
at the February 26th Workshop Meeting. Mental Health was discussed at both
presentations; City Council has requested a follow-up discussion on the topic.
Severe mental illness affects 1 in 25 adults in the United States. Recidivism rates
impact public resources such as fire, EMS, police, courts, and jail services; and
commonly the resources most needed to assist with these conditions cannot be
provided in such settings. Treatment is challenging as there is no one-size fits all
method.
Becky Grohs, Chief Operations Officer, Consistent Care Services will provide City
Council with an overview on mental health, its complexity, and some of the resources
and collaborations taking place in our community.

SUBJECT: Proposed Ambulance Fee Increase
I. REFERENCE(S):
PowerPoint Presentation
Ambulance Utility Fee Options Detail
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Increase in Ambulance Utility Fee
Increase in Ambulance Transport Fee
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City requested the Ambulance Rate Study, conducted by FCS Group in 2015, to
help with establishing an ambulance utility rate that is based on the true cost of
providing ambulance and emergency medical services to the citizens and visitors of
Pasco. Council has taken significant steps to prudently manage this fund: increasing
and decreasing fees where needed; changing to a more equitable ambulance fee
structure, as well as pursuing funding of Ground Emergency Medical Transport
(GEMT).
The City operates the ambulance utility which is funded primarily from monthly
charges or rates, subsidy from the City's General Fund and transport fees.
Operationally, paramedics and firefighters work within an integrated structure. The
integrated operation of Fire and Ambulance services provides for an economy of scale
that benefits the taxpayers and ambulance ratepayers. With the ambulance and fire
apparatus responding to all calls in tandem, crews from fire are available to supplement
ambulance responses and vice versa.
Page 16 of 69
V. DISCUSSION:
As discussed during 2019-2020 Biennial Budget presentation, the needs of this fund
are unique. This is a highly specialized fund that requires specialized personnel and
regulated equipment and supplies. This means that the increases in costs don't always
follow the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Additionally, Pasco's high Medicaid and
Medicare use demographic means that the City gets reimbursed less than the actual
cost of transport for many calls. As discussed in previous meetings, GEMT is meant to
mitigate these losses. However, due to the delay in GEMT funding at the Federal and
State levels the Ambulance Fund is in need of a cash infusion until the reimbursements
are received in 2019. An inter-fund loan of $2,000,000 is requested for 2018. The
Proposed Budget includes a $2,000,000 loan to the Ambulance Fund in 2018, with the
balance being paid back over the next five years. The first repayment is budgeted at
$1,300,000 and will be made in 2019, with the remainder of the loan paid back over the
next four years.
Due to factors such as higher cost of providing service and debt service for the inter -
fund loan, Staff initially proposed that Council consider increasing the Ambulance
Utility Fee rates by 7% for 2019 and 2020, as well as an in crease in the Transport Fee
by $50 ($650 to $700 for residents) in 2019.
Staff introduced a second option to Council during the Public Hearing on the budget.
The second option is to forgive part of the $2,000,000 principal to reduce the proposed
ambulance rate increase as recommended in the budget. Council levied the City's
banked capacity to fund the relocation of new fire stations in 2019. Since the bond will
not be issued until mid-year 2019, the City will collect close to $600,000-$700,000 in
property tax revenue that will not be utilized for bond debt service. Since there is a
great level of overlap between residents who pay property taxes and the Ambulance
Utility Fee, and the General Fund can make contributions to any fund within the City,
using General Fund dollars to forgive part of the Ambulance Fund loan is an option
open to Council.
The Council has two options for the Ambulance Fund:
Option A: Increase the Ambulance Utility Fee rates by 7% for 2019 and 2020 and the
Transport Fee by $50 in 2019. This option would require the fund to pay back the full
$2,000,000 inter-fund loan. This option would set the Ambulance Utility Fee from
$14.98 to $16.03 in 2019 and to $17.15 in 2020.
Option B: Increase the Ambulance Utility Fee rates by 4% for 2019 and 2020 and the
Transport Fee by $50 in 2019. This option would allow forgiveness of $700,000 of the
$2,000,000 inter-fund loan. This option would set the Ambulance Utility Fee from
$14.98 to $15.58 in 2019 and to $16.20 in 2020.
Page 17 of 69
The Transport Fee would increase from $650 to $700 for residents and from $1,050 to
$1,100 for non-residents under both options.
Both options will leave the Ambulance Fund with a positive fund balance until the end
of 2021 (see attached document for further details).

SUBJECT: 2018 Supplemental Operating and Capital Budget
I. REFERENCE(S):
Summary - Budget Supplement Request
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Refer to attached summary of budget supplement request.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The revenues and expenditures recommended to be included in the Supplemental
Budget were unanticipated or indeterminable at the time the 2018 Budget was
prepared.
V. DISCUSSION:
Council approved the 2018 Operating Budget in the amount of $213,712,293. The
proposed Operating Budget Amendment reflects an increase of $3,809,340 in expenses
and $4,595,090 in revenue. This represents an overall increase of 1.8% of the adopted
budget. Historically, the increase in the City's adopted budget through the supplemental
budget process has been around 9-10%. As the growth of the City has stabilized, Staff
has worked to reduce the reliance on the supplemental budget. The small percentage of
changes to the adopted budget is a result of the stabilizing growth factor; but also a
concerted effort to project expenses and revenue during the budget process.
A large percentage of the increase in expense is due to the increase in labor costs for
the Police, Fire, and Administrative and Community Services (ACS) Departments.
Page 24 of 69
Approximately $580,000 in unexpected overtime occurred in 2018 between the Fire
and Police Departments. The Police Department was short staffed due to various
factors; for example, serious on-duty injuries and staff turnover. The department also
handled a few large cases that required additional time at the scene and testifying in
court. Locally and throughout the State, 2018 had a longer than usual fire season. The
Fire Department sends staff to local and regional fires. Time spent on local fires is not
reimbursed. The increase in the ACS department's expenses was primarily due to the
higher use of seasonal workers and higher than anticipated legal costs.
Additionally, Council approved the purchase of Locution Systems at the cost of
$240,000 in 2017. Due to the delay in the SECOMM move, the City had not utilized
this committed fund until 2018. The actual cost for the Locution Systems is expected to
be $345,000. Staff is requesting that Council approve an additional $105,000 to the
previously authorized fund to complete this project.
As Council is aware, the hiring process for the Police and Fire Departments is an
extended process, where timing is critical and reliance on outside forces is high. Due to
such factors and expected retirements in the near future, the City may hire new staff to
train so that they are ready to take the place of retired staff when that time arrives. This
method has proven to be more effective in reducing further overtime or straining other
staff members with additional work. The Fire Department hired two staff members in
2018 anticipating the retirement of at least two long-term staff members in 2019. One
of the staff expected to retire recently did, earlier than expected.
Some funds, such as for the Cemetery and Golf Course, have increased costs that are
directly related to increased demand. As demand increases, so does the revenue. The
Equipment Replacement Fund also saw an additional $220,000 in expense. This is
mainly due to a vehicle purchase for the Police Department that was reimbursed
through a grant, reorganization of fleet resources within the Fire Department to provide
a designated vehicle for the rescue boat, increased costs in outfitting new Fire trucks, as
well as an unexpected increase in replacement costs for golf course equipment.
The Public Works Department has worked hard to accelerate the Columbia East Lift
Station project to mitigate increasing unreliability of the existing infrastructure. This
infrastructure allows for food processors to send their industrial waste water to the
Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF). Staff is requesting that Council authorize
$1,080,000 in 2018 to account for the accelerated schedule of the project.
On the revenue front, the City is seeing higher than expected sales tax revenue in 2018.
We attribute this to growing economic activity, as well as a positive national economic
environment. Business license revenue has also seen an increase due to the higher
number of businesses signing up for a City license. We attribute this increase to
migration to State Business License Services, which makes it easier for business
owners to obtain a City license. Furthermore, the City also sold two pieces of property
in 2018, adding $794,000 to City's fund balance.

Changes in Capital projects are presented to Council on a regular basis as important
milestones on the projects are reached and which may require Council approval.

SUBJECT: Downtown Pasco Development Authority Funding Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
DPDA Funding Agreement for 2017/2018
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
City Council formed a Public Development Authority in December of 2010 to
undertake revitalization of the Downtown area, provide management of the Pasco
Specialty Kitchen and Farmer’s Market and promote utilization of the façade
improvement program that is funded through the Community Development Block
Grant allocation. The DPDA was licensed in Washington State as a non-profit
corporation in May of 2011 and a full Board was appointed in July of 2011.
The DPDA also received its 501(c)(3) tax status in 2012. In January of 2015, the
DPDA was officially recognized as a Washington State Main Street community. As a
Main Street community, the DPDA is eligible to receive donations with the donor
receiving a 75% credit against applicable B&O taxes and a varying amount for the City
depending on the yearly requests statewide for State Utility Tax reimbursements
through this Program. For example, in 2019 the City will receive a credit of $70,500
for the 2018 contribution to the DPDA.
When the DPDA was first formed, Council recognized that the DPDA would have
operational expenses exceeding revenues and most recently approved the latest funding
agreement with the DPDA, allocating an annual amount of $100,000 for 2017 and
2018 to supplement their revitalization efforts. This agreement expires at the end of
this year.
Page 32 of 69
The City has recently been advised that the current Executive Director of the DPDA
will resign his position in December to accept a position with the Boys and Girls Club.
V. DISCUSSION:
The DPDA Funding Agreement was scheduled for Council consideration at this
11/26/18 Workshop meeting. The departure of the Executive Director complicates the
typical process of Council consideration of a replacement Funding Agreement.
After discussions with the DPDA Board Executive Committee, staff would request
Council's consideration of an extension of the current funding Agreement for up to the
first 6 months of 2019. This will allow a transition period for the DPDA Board and the
opportunity for the Board to thoroughly review the approach to staffing this position
and its relationship to the DPDA organizational structure.
During this transitional period, City staff will take an increased role in organizational
support which will provide stability and certainty for existing DPDA staff and the
conduct of special events in the Downtown - particularly the 2019 Cinco de Mayo
celebration.
Council discussion of this approach is welcome.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Tri-Cities Visitor and Convention Bureau (TCVCB) is the area's regional tourism
and visitor association. The cities of Richland, Kennewick and Pasco are members in
good standing with TCVCB, with each city collectively engaging in economic
development activities, including the promotion and attraction of sports tourism events.
TCVCB has proposed to the member communities to begin a study to evaluate sports
tourism opportunities in the region, including a market needs assessment and financial
analysis. Last year, the Tri-City Regional Hotel-Motel Commission agreed to partially
fund a study using tourism promotion revenue administered by the TCVCB. Pasco is
currently planning a number of sports-related projects, including additional soccer
fields at the A Street Sports Complex and is considering an update to its Parks Master
Plan in two years; therefore, the TCVCB study will be a timely guide for many
recreational projects.
The total cost of the study will not exceed $60,000. TCVCB will fund up to $30,000,
and Richland, Kennewick and Pasco will contribute up to $10,000 each. TCVCB will
Page 37 of 69
act as the administrative lead agency for the project.
Staff will bring a Resolution forth to the City Council at the December 3, 2018 hearing

$1,667,554 - CIP- Real Estate Excise Tax Fund
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 2016, the Pasco Police moved out of City Hall into their new facility, leaving behind
ample and space office empty in Shortly Hall. City room expansion available
thereafter, plans to renovate the empty space and create more room for various city
division was commenced. Phase I of the renovation was previously completed,
providing new space for the Pasco Information Services Division on the second floor.
In 2019, Phase II of the renovation will begin with significant improvements, including
the addition of offices to the first floor area of the former police offices, renovation of
finance, customer service, and ACS Admin areas. On the second floor of City Hall,
engineering and permitting will see renovation as well. The 3rd floor will see the
Human Resources offices get updated as the last portion of the project.
This project will focus on enabling better and more transparent access to the public for
the more externally-focused departments of the City, while also addressing access and
security measures to protect city staff and assets, while remaining open to the public.
Heavily staffed divisions such as Public Works and Finance will see updates to their
office to flexible remaining while collaboration, allow for to spaces greater
accommodate future staff growth.
The project is out to bid now, with a bid award to be taken to City Council in January
of 2019, with work to begin shortly afterwards. The CIP budget for the project is just
over $1.6 million, and expectations currently are that bids will be around that mark.

Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimates:
Lighting Replacement- $400,000
Seating- Lower Box Replacements- $200,000
Seating- Upper Box Improvements- $200,000
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Advisory Tax Lodging the of Council the approved recently recommendation
Commission to authorize $2 million for improvements to GESA stadium with the
required $160,000 annual debt service to be paid from the lodging tax proceeds. The
proposed Capital Budget for 2019-2020 includes the project expenditures. With
Councils' approval of the City's 2019 property tax levy, including the addition of
"banked capacity" to finance two new fire stations, the City plans to issue debt,
sometime in the spring of 2019, to finance the construction. Staff now believes that
combining the tax exempt bond issue for the fire stations and the taxable bond issue for
stadium improvements will be the best course for the City to pursue. Costs of issuance
will be pro-rated for the projects and there will be savings/economies by combining the
projects into a single bond issue.
The City has the ability to absorb the costs, if any (it appears that there will be no
deposit required for the seating order, it is not yet determined if a deposit will be
required for the lighting), for the projects until permanent financing, as stated above, is
in place.
Page 50 of 69
Staff has been able to identify that both preferred providers, Hussey for the seating, and
Musco, for the lighting, are participant vendors in cooperative purchasing agreements
which will allow the City to use such agreements for the best possible pricing without
undertaking a competitive bid process on its own. Further, both providers are the
manufacturers of the existing equipment that is in use at the stadium, therefore,
assuring compatibility of products.
The seating replacement project will consist of two parts: 1) Replacement of box seats
( +/- 970) on the lower level which were originally installed in the stadium in 1995; 2)
Adding new, upper level box seats (+/-950) on the first base side, replacing existing
20+ year old bleachers. Estimate includes demolition. Both seating orders require a 4-6
month lead time from order to installation.
The lighting replacement project will upgrade ball-field lighting to LED fixtures in
conformance with professional baseball standards and a quality and maintenance
guarantee for 25 years. The estimated cost includes demolition of old equipment and
installation of new equipment. The lead time is similar to that for seating.
Staff is waiting to receive firm pricing under the referenced purchase agreements.
When those are available, formal approval will be requested. As pricing is expected
soon, staff wanted to provide Council with this background and entertain any needed
discussion prior to requesting approval.
