Old Business/New Business/Other Business:
As a result of passing House Bill (HB) 1499, the Board held this Special Meeting. HB 1499 allows
the Pasco Public Facilities District to finance, construct and operate one or more recreational
facilities. The Board briefly discussed the City’s efforts over the last three legislative sessions to
secure this authority.
The Board discussed next steps for planning for a project and possible ballot measure asking Pasco
voters if they wanted to approve a regional aquatics facility. Kerr-Ferguson Law provided an
overview of the physical process, a Resolution and project scope requirements, as well as the election
process. Kerr-Ferguson noted the Resolution, project scope, and statement to voters must be prepared
and delivered to the County Auditor’s Office at least 60-days prior to an election.

Additionally, the Board discussed the importance of educating voters. All members agreed revisiting
the 2016 Feasibility Study and identifying a target election date as important first steps. The Board
favors a deliberate approach with the opportunity to thoroughly educate the electorate.
Mr. Morrisette requested all members review “Option D” from the of the prior Aquatic Feasibility
Study. Mr. Strebel stated “Option D” was the preferred option as it was the most financially
sustainable (85% cost recovery rate). The proposed makeup included a large outdoor aquatic facility,
a smaller indoor aquatic component, and facilities for other recreational activities, including
walking/jogging, exercise and fitness training.
The following actions were taken by the Board:
1. Board will begin meeting on a monthly basis starting in June 2019.
2. Board will request a City Council Liaison.
3. Mr. Jilek moved the Pasco Public Facilities District Board begin the process of pursuing a
possible aquatics center project to put forth for consideration of the Pasco City Council. Mr.
Dietrich seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
Adjournment:
There being no other business, the meeting was adjourned at 5:07 p.m.
