Please read it in conjunction with the accompanying basic financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. Financial Highlights  The assets of the PPFD exceeded its liabilities at December 31, 2018 by $27,033.  The PP FD program revenues exceeded its expenses by $9,755. Overview of the Financial Statements This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the PP FD’s basic financial statements. Those financial statements comprise three components: 1) government -wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other required supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves. Government-wide financial statements. The government -wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the PPFD ’s finances in a manner similar to a private- sector business. The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the assets and liabilities with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the PPFD is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g. uncollected taxes). The government -wide financial statements include a single function (classified as culture and recreation) which is primarily supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (Governmental Activities). The PPFD currently does not have any business-type activities. The governmental activit y of the PPFD is to provide support to the Kennewick Convention Center. In addition, the PPFD conducts some project concept planning and evaluation work through consultant contracts. The government -wide financial statements can be found on pages 8-9 of this report. Page 9 of 62 Pasco Public Facilities District 2018 Annual Financial Report 3 Fund financial statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The PPFD like other governments uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- relat ed legal requirements. Governmental funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental activities in the government -wide financial statements. However, unlike the government -wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near- term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s near-term financing requirements. Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar information presented for governmental activities in the government -wide statements. By doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statements of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities. The PPFD maintains just one governmental fund; the general fund. Information is presented in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances. The general fund is a major fund as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). The PPFD adopts an annual appropriated budget for its general fund. A budgetary comparison statement has been provided for the general fund to demonstrate compliance with this budget. The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found starting on page 8 of this report. Notes to the Financial Statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the fund statements. The notes to the financial statements can be found starting on page 13. Government-wide Financial Analysis As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial position. In the case of the PPFD, assets exceeded liabilities by $27,033 at year end 2018. All of the PPFD’s net position represents working capital (current assets minus current liabilities), as it does not have any investments in long term capital assets or long term debt obligations. At the end of the current and prior fiscal years, the PPFD was able to report positive net position. As of end of 2018, the government’s net position increased by $9,755. Payables represent the amount of sales taxes payable to the Kennewick Public Facilities District (KPFD), per inter-local agreement . Page 10 of 62 Pasco Public Facilities District 2018 Annual Financial Report 4 The following table is a comparison of current and prior year assets and liabilities. Statement of Changes in Net Position The following condensed table of changes in net assets compares the revenues and expenses for the current year to prior year. The primary revenue of the PPFD is sales tax. In addition to sales tax, the City contributes $20,000 annually and there is a small amount of interest earned on fund assets. The largest expense to the fund is the pass through payment of sales tax ($551,578) to KPFD. Other expenses are administrative in nature and there are occasional consulting or legal fees associated with potential future projects.

The PPFD uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance related legal requirements. Governmental funds. The focus of the PPFD’s Governmental Funds is to provide information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing the PPFD financing requirements. In particular, unrestricted fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. As of the end of the current fiscal year, the PPFD’s only governmental fund is its general fund. The general fund is the chief operating fund of the PPFD and reported an ending fund balance of $27,033, which represents an increase of $9,755, in comparison with the prior year. All of fund balance cons ists of unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the board’s discretion. Overall, in 2018 revenues increased by $38,434 and total expenditures increased by $28,086. The increase in revenue is a direct result of a 7.5% increase in sales tax in 2018. Generally, the revenues and expenditures are expected to experience similar increases/decreases with most variances relating to one-time expenditures for consulting or other services. General Fund Budgetary Highlights Sales tax revenue exceeded the budgeted amount and reflected a variance of 10.3% in 2018. Continued growth in sales tax, and subsequent pass through payments to KPFD have resulted in over budget amounts for revenues and expenditures. Total revenues at year end reflected a variance of 9.9 % while total expenditures showed a variance o f 8.9 %. Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budget Ongoing residential and commercial development in Pasco continues to fuel the growth in sales tax revenue s. 2018’s budget was developed with a conservative approach and t he expectation that 2018 activity would closely parallel 2017’s actual revenues and expenditures. The 2019 budget reflects the significant growth in revenue that we have recognized in the previous two years.

PASCO PUBLIC FACILITIES DISTRICT STATEMENT OF REVENUES, EXPENDITURES & CHANGES IN FUND BALANCE BUDGET TO ACTUAL - GENERAL FUND Year to Date Ending December 31, 2018 Page 19 of 62 Pasco Public Facilities District 2018 Annual Financial Report 13 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The financial statements of the PPFD have been prepared in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) as applied to government units. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The following is a summary of the more significant policies. A. Reporting Entity The PPFD was created by the Council of the City the Pasco by passage of Ordinance No. 3558 on July 15, 2002, to participate in acquisition, construction, operation, and/or financing of a regional center (as defined in RCW 35.57) in the Tri-Cities area. State law, as defined in the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 35.57 (the City PFD Act), authorizes the City Council, as the legislative authority of the City, to create a public facilities district coextensive with the boundaries of the City for the purposes, among others, of acquiring, constructing, operating, and financing one or more “Regional Centers” through cooperative and joint ve ntures with one or more qualifying public facilities districts. A Regional Center is defined in the City Public Facilities District (PFD) Act as “…convention, conference, or special events center, or any combination of facilities, and related parking facilities, serving a regional population constructed, improved or rehabilitated after July 25, 1999 at a cost of at least $10,000,000 including debt service.” State law also states a public facilities district created before July 31, 2002 that commences construction or improvement of a Regional Center before January 1, 2004 may impose, solely for Regional Center Purposes, a 0.033% sales and use tax. The Sales Tax operates to shift a share of the State’s sales and use tax revenues to the public facilities dist rict at no additional cost to taxpayers. The Board of Directors is comprised of 5 members; two members appointed by the City Council and 3 members appointed by the City Council based on recommendations from local organizations. The Board then elects a President, a Vice President, and a Secretary/Treasurer. The initial appointment of the Board called for one - one year term, one - two year term, one - three year term and two - four year terms. Thereafter, appointments are for four year terms. Page 20 of 62 Pasco Public Facilities District 2018 Annual Financial Report 14 B. Government-wide and fund financial statements The government –wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of Activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the primary government. As there is just one fund, the general fund, there is no interfund activity in these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support. The PPFD had no business-type activities in the current or prior year. The S tatement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. The PPFD policy is to not allocate indirect costs to a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements for a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. C. Measurement focus, basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. The PPFD reports the general fund as a major governmental fund. The general fund is the PPFD’s primary operating fund. It accounts for all governmental financial resources. Amounts reported as program revenues include 1) charges to customers, 2) operating grants and contributions, and 3) capital grants and contributions. General revenues include all taxes. The PPFD does not have a flow of funds policy and therefore utilizes the default provided by GASB 54 which assumes restricted assets are used before unrestricted assets. Page 21 of 62 Pasco Public Facilities District 2018 Annual Financial Report 15 D. Assets, liabilities and equities Deposits and investments The government’s cash and cash equivalents are considered to be cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term investments with original maturities of three months or le ss from the date of acquisition and include amount invested in the State of Washington’s Local Government Investment pool. This is done via City of Pasco’s City Treasurer. The investments are held in the City of Pasco’s name and are recorded in the City accounts, as held on behalf of the PPFD. Receivables and payables Receivable s consist of sales taxes receivable. Payables result from an inter-local agreement with the KPFD that all sales tax received will be passed through to the KPFD. Fund balance and fund flow policies Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The District itself can establish limitations on the use of resources through either a commitment (committed fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund balance). The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for specific purposes determined by formal action of the District ’s highest level of decision-making authority. The Board is the highest level of decision making authority for the government that can, by adoption of an ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation. Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as committed. The Board may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments generally only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be taken for the r emoval of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to either remove or revise a commitment. The District has not adopted a specific flow of funds policy relating to the use of restricted and unrestricted resources when both are available. Therefore the statements are prepared using the default option provided in GASB 54 which provides that when both restricted and unrestricted resources are available, restricted resources are used first. In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report restrictions of fund balance as follows: Page 22 of 62 Pasco Public Facilities District 2018 Annual Financial Report 16 Non spendable fund balance - includes amounts that are not in spendable form such as inventory or are required to be maintained intact such as the principal of a permanent fund. Restricted fund balance - includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific purpose stipulated by external resource providers such as for grant providers, bondholders, higher levels of government, or through enabling legislation. Committed fund balance – includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the Board. Commitments may be changed or lifted only by the Board taking the same formal action that imposed the constraint originally. Assigned fund balance – includes amounts intended to be used by the District for specific purposes. Intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official designated by the governing body to which the governing body designates authority. Unassigned fund balance - includes amounts that are available for any purpose. NOTE 2 - STEWARDSHIP, COMPLIANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY Scope of Budgetary Accounting. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for the PPFD on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Annual appropriated budgets are adopted at the major expenditure category level. Appropriations lapse at year-end. Budgetary accounts are integrated in fund ledgers for all budgeted funds. Amending the Budget. When the Board determines it is in the best interest of the PPFD to increase or decrease the appropriation for a particular item, it may do so with a motion approved by a n affirmative vote of at least three Board members. The financial statements contain the original and final budget information. The original budget is the first complete appropriated budget. The final budget is the original budget adjusted by any authorized amendments. Budget Compliance. The PPFD expenditures exceeded the budget appropriation by $46,068. This is a direct result of sales tax revenue exceeding budget expectations and the interlocal agreement that mandates all revenues are passed through to the KPFD. Page 23 of 62 Pasco Public Facilities District 2018 Annual Financial Report 17 NOTE 3 – DETAILED NOTES ON ALL FUNDS A. Deposits and investments As of December 31, 2018 the government had the following: Weighted Average Fair Value Maturities (Years) Total Invested Cash Equivalents $74,104 N/A Interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. The PPFD does not have an investment policy, but manages its exposure to declines in fair value by limiting investing only in the State of Washington’s Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP). Credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not fulfill its obligations. The PPFD does not have an investment policy, but manages its exposure to credit risk by limiting investing only in the State of Washington’s LGIP. Concentration of credit risk. Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a government’s investment in a single issuer. The PPFD does not have an investment policy, but manages its exposure to concentration of credit risk by limiting investing only in the State of Washington’s Local Government Investment Pool. The LGIP invests in a variety of governmentally issued securities. Custodial credit risk – deposits. This is the risk that in the event of a bank failure, the governments’ deposits may not be returned. The PPFD does not have a deposit policy, but manages its exposure to custodial risk by investing 100% of its fund in the State of Washington’s Local Government Investment Pool and therefore does not maintain any deposits in a bank. Custodial credit risk – investments. For an investment, this is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty, the government will be able to recover the value of its investments or other collateral securities that are in the possession of an outside party. The PPFD does not have a custodial credit risk policy, but manages its exposure by investing 100% of its funds in the State of Washington’s Local Government Investment Pool. B. Receivables and payables Taxes receivable. The PPFD received November and December 2018 sales tax distributions from the State of Washington in January and February 2019, respectively. The State receives the sales tax from business in the month following the sales. It is then tabulated and distributed to cities and counties the following month. As receivables are recognized when earned, the sales taxes from underlying sales transactions are recognized as receivables in the period they are earned. Per the inter-local agreement, 100% of the sales tax received is owed to KPFD.

REFERENCE(S): PowerPoint Presentation Proposed Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: Minimal Reduction in Licensing Revenue IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The State Legislature passed Business License Bill HB-2005 on July 23, 2017 requiring all cities with business license programs to partner for administration of general business licenses with the Washington State Business License Services (BLS). The bill further required cities to adopt a model business license threshold to standa approved Council 2017, late In rdize the throughout licensing State. recommendations made by staff that included extensive changes to the City's business license program to comply with said law. At the time of adoption Council requested Staff to report on the status once sufficient time had passed. V. DISCUSSION: Staff has been closely monitoring the program since its full implementation on March, 2018 and based on experience of administration and impact to business owners, staff is recommending several changes for improvement. The changes primarily involve clarification of language, correction of errors, and a recommendation to add a cap to Page 32 of 62 the business license fee. While most of the changes are minor in nature, listed below are the larger changes to the current code: 1. To prevent confusion, any licensing done directly through the City would be labeled as a "Regulatory License." This reference would make the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) consistent with how the State and other Cities refer to licenses issued directly by the City and that have special requirements and fees attached to them. 2. Clarify PMC 5.05.170 (1) (Monetary Threshold) section in reference to "a place of business." The monetary threshold applies to those businesses that do not maintain a place of business. The addition of the language "at a commercial location" would clarify that a brick and mortar business with a physical location that customers can visit to conduct business would be considered a "place of business." 3. Apply a late payment fee to all Regulatory Licenses so that penalty fees are applied consistently to all delinquent licenses regardless of the issuing agency. 4. Limit the business license fees to a maximum of $5,000. Staff is of the opinion that these changes will improve efficiency, equity, service to the licensed businesses within the City and recommends the Council discuss and provide direction to implement the recommended changes.

Matt Watkins, Mayor ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: ____________ __________________ Angela Pashon, City Clerk Erik Ferguson, City Attorney Page 49 of 62 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council May 20, 2019 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Workshop Meeting: 5/28/19 FROM: Richa Sigdel, Finance Director Finance SUBJECT: Proposed Ambulance Fee Update I. REFERENCE(S): Proposed Ordinance II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: Approximately $35,000 reduction to Ambulance Service revenue. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: A monthly Ambulance Utility Fee is charged to all customers within the City. The utility fee, fee for transport and General Fund subsidy cover the cost to assure ambulance services are properly staffed, equipped, supplied, housed and supported. Before 2018, all customers within the City, Residential or Commercial, were charged the same flat monthly fee; a point frequently brought to the City's attention by residential customers comparing their bill to a large industrial facility or commercial center. This inequity was also identified by staff and the City's Utility Rate Consultant, FCS Group, during the Ambulance Utility Rate Study. Council was briefed on the inequity of the former billing structure and subsequently adopted a new billing structure for the following categories: 1. Residential Units (Single and Multi-family) - Each residential unit. 2. Commercial Business and Industries - Equivalent residential unit based on the number of full-time equivalent employees. 3. Assisted Living and Nursing Homes - Number of occupants. 4. Hotels/Motels - Equivalent residential unit based on occupancy and number of rooms. Page 50 of 62 This new structure was implemented and staff has had sufficient history to evaluate and report on its effects. V. DISCUSSION: While more equitable overall, the classification of system customers represented a significant change to the billing structure of the utility. For that reason, staff has been closely monitoring the program with a focus on continuous improvement. Considerable outreach and internal/external analysis has occurred as part of the review process, which resulted in the recommendations below: • Describe the word "Employee" to further clarify the difference between an employee and a contractor of a business (Beauticians/salons, Brokers/Realtors, etc.). • Clarify that billing is based on the full-time equivalent employees (FTE) employed for any and all businesses located at one/each utility account/service location. • The City's old licensing structure did not factor FTE as a basis for licensing fee. Business owners are getting familiar with our new structure. Correct FTE information is not always input into the State Business License Services (BLS). When possible, staff will update the FTE data in BLS with verification from employers of the correct count. Wording will be added to Code to allow the City to update employee counts with verification and documentation. • Office buildings with one utility account for multiple businesses (some strip malls, for instance) are responsible for paying the monthly ambulance service fee for all FTE employees at that location. Further clarification expressing this is needed in the current code. • Remove categories for Assisted Living and Nursing Homes and Hotels/Motels to standardize the billing process that is extensively manual. Treating these facilities similar to residential units has proven difficult for multiple reasons: Federal/State Assisted where Medicare/Medicaid relating regulations to Living/Nursing Homes are concerned, operational inefficiencies, and a history indicating a low use of ambulance services overall where Hotels/Motels are concerned. Implementation of the recommended changes will: • Provide greater clarity for professional business operations. • Improve self-reporting of FTE counts. • Assure all business operators are treated fairly by their existence, rather than whether the building they are housed in is served by one or multiple meters. • Lower current fees to Hotel/Motel customers and increase slightly fees to Assisted Care/Nursing facilities, which are currently among the highest users of the service, yet pay a similar level as a single-family home. Page 51 of 62 Overall, the recommended changes would reduce fund revenues by an estimated $35,000 annually. Staff recommends Council discuss the aforementioned recommendations and direct staff to prepare an ordinance implementing these changes as proposed.
