“Honorably Protect and Serve Our Community”
CPR save on 7-26-2019 at 05:58 at “A-Team” Cross Fit gym.
On the morning of July 26th, an individual at A-Team cross fit gym experienced a medical emergency
resulting in cardiac arrest. Pasco and Richland fire units as well as Pasco PD were dispatched to a CPR in
progress at A-Team. The closest medic units from Pasco were involved with other calls at the time of the
incident at A-Team, so medics units were dispatched from our Pasco Oregon Street station and the
Richland station on George Washington Way through our automatic aid agreement. Although the medics
from the closest station on Road 68 were transporting another patient, because of our deployment model
the engine company from the Rd 68 station was available and arrived at the scene at 06:03, as did a Pasco
PD unit who assisted with CPR. All Pasco fire engines and ladders are equipped with medical equipment,
including Automatic External Defibrillators (AED’s), and many times are staffed with an advanced
medical care level individual, which was the case on this call.
The engine crew deployed their AED and a shock was recommended. The AED then recommended a
second shock, which was implemented. The engine Captain who has advanced medical training started an
IV on the patient. The first medic unit to arrive was from the Richland station and they blended in
seamlessly with the Pasco engine crew and continued resuscitation efforts. The medic unit from the
Oregon Street station arrived and the Richland medic transferred patient care to the Pasco medic while
continuing to work together effortlessly. Additional shocks were administered along with advanced life
support medications and established the insertion of the airway. After all this effort, including 6 shocks,
the patient had a return of spontaneous circulation and was transported by Pasco medics to Kadlec
Hospital.
In recognition and in Cooperation with the City of Richland fire department we are proud to present these
certificates and challenge coins to the members of the Pasco Fire Department involved in this difficult
resuscitation.

Proclamation
“Attendance Awareness Month”
September 2019
WHEREAS, good attendance in school is essential to student achievement, learning and progress toward
graduation; and
WHEREAS, chronic absence – missing 10 percent, two or three days a month, or more – is a proven
predictor of academic trouble and dropout rates, and weakens our communities and our local economy; and
WHEREAS, the impact of chronic absence hits low-income students and children of color particularly hard
and exacerbates the achievement gap that separates these students from their peers if they lack the resources to
make up lost time, or face systemic barriers to getting to school; such as unreliable transportation, lack of access
to health care, unstable or unaffordable housing; and
WHEREAS, absenteeism also undermines efforts to improve struggling schools, since it is hard to measure
improvements in classroom instruction if students are not in class to benefit from them; and
WHEREAS, schools and community partners can reach out more frequently to absent students to determine
why they are missing school and what would help them attend more regularly; and
WHEREAS, all students, even those who show up regularly, are affected by chronic absence because
teachers must spend time reviewing for students who missed lessons; and
WHEREAS, chronic absence can be significantly reduced when schools, parents and communities work
together to monitor and promote good attendance and address hurdles that keep children from getting to school;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Matt Watkins, Mayor of the City of Pasco, Washington, do hereby proclaim our
city will stand with the nation in recognizing September as “Attendance Awareness Month.” We hereby commit
to focusing on reducing absenteeism to give all children an equal opportunity to learn, grow and thrive
academically, emotional and socially.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Official Seal of the City of Pasco,
State of Washington, to be affixed this 16th day of September 2019.

SUBJECT: 2020-2025 Capital Improvement Plan
I. REFERENCE(S):
Capital Improvement Plan Presentation
Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ________, approving the Capital
Improvement Plan for calendar years 2020-2025.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None. Budget appropriations for Capital Projects are made through the biennial
Operating and Capital budget process.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The proposed six-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), presents the plan for how
major public facility improvements will be accomplished over the next six years.
Projects in this document propose to strategically invest in the future of our community
in a manner that promotes adopted City Council goals and guides the development and
sustainability of the City for not just the six -year timeframe, but also the next 20-year
planning horizon. The City, through the CIP, provides for fiscal sustainability and
economic vitality of our community through thoughtful, well-prioritized and leveraged
investment – using long term planning to shape near-term decisions. This document
provides project overviews, priority assessment, principle need, justification, expense
summaries, and revenue sources.
While the biennial budget and a CIP Plan are intertwined, the six -year CIP is subject to

V. DISCUSSION:
The staff presentation highlighted projects which are critical to the Council goals and
objectives. As previously discussed, the CIP is a plan and, as such, requires annual
updating to reflect changing conditions and priorities. The CIP identifies the funding
status of each project.
The proposed 2020-2025 CIP was presented to Council for discussion at the September
9th Council Workshop meeting. Following Council consideration and discussion of the
Plan, Argent Road improvement projects were further clarified by retitling all with
phase numbers. Furthermore, Phase 2 (Rd. 36 Intersection) was moved forward with
design starting in 2020 and construction in 2021. New project sheets are attached to
this staff report.
Pedestrian/Bicycle Access Sylvester Street Overpass was proposed as a "study only"
project due to significant unknown factors to determine a future scope. Staff is
requesting the study to better understand if the existing structure can be modified to
accommodate bicycle/pedestrian facilities or if a new structure will be required. These
two options will yield significantly different requests in terms of scope and funding
requests. Staff is recommending that City work with WSDOT to make a preliminary
assessment and bring the finding and new scope to the Council for consideration.
Below is a summary of CIP Projects proposed for 2020-2025
An updated Plan document will be distributed within the next several weeks reflecting
the change discussed.

Summary Project Description
This project was originally considered in its entirety from Road 36 to 20th Avenue. It also includes two important stakeholders in Columbia Basin Community
College (CBC) and the Port of Pasco (Port). Due to the immediate improvements necessary as part of the development of the Port’s property, namely the
new Marriot hotel, it became necessary to break the project into phases. Phase 1 includes improvements from Varney Lane/Saraceno Way to 20th Avenue,
Phase 2 makes improvements to the intersection of Road 36 and Argent, while Phase 3 connects the previous two projects.
Improvements include street widening with a new roadway surface along with curb/gutter and sidewalk. Utilities, including stormwater, will also be built as
part of the improvements.

III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City of Pasco can anticipate the addition of almost 50,000 new residents within the
span of 20 years. Considering this, staff is exploring various avenues in which to
facilitate the development of denser housing to accommodate this growth. Increasing
dwelling height in the medium and high density zoning districts will ultimately provide
an opportunity for the creation of more dwelling units within one building as well as
give builders/developers more flexibility with the design and layout of a development.
The Planning Commission has considered this proposal in a workshop and in a public
hearing and have concluded that the proposal will increase the opportunity to provide
additional housing opportunities and has forwarded a recommendation of approval to
City Council.
Page 97 of 119
City Council reviewed this proposal at the September 9th Workshop meeting.
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed Ordinance provides the following revisions to the Zoning Code:
R-3 Zone: Increase maximum dwelling height to 40 feet (measured to
midpoint of gable), and allow for a greater dwelling height via Special Permit
R-4 Zone: Increase maximum dwelling height to 45 feet (measured to
midpoint of gable), and allow for a greater dwelling height via Special Permit
"Building height" is “… the vertical distance from grade plane to the average height of
the highest roof surface …" Thus, the measurement to the peak of a dwelling may be
greater than the PMC's definition of "building height." It is important to consider that
the adoption of this proposal may result in dwellings/apartment buildings that may
measure 50 feet to peak (within the R-4 zone), which is roughly four stories.
After consulting with the Pasco Fire Department and the Pasco Fire Marshal/Building
Official, it has been determined that the proposal will not compromise the City's ability
to provide emergency response and fire safety operations.
Staff recommends Council approval of the proposed ordinance.

MEMO TO PLANNING COMMISSION
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
City Hall – 525 North Third Avenue – Council Chambers
THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2019
7:00 PM
1
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Darcy Bourcier, Planner I
SUBJECT: Increasing Building Height in the R-3 & R-4 Zoning Districts (CA2019-009)
To accommodate Pasco’s forecasted population growth in a limited Urban Growth Area (UGA),
Planning staff believe it necessary to rework zoning provisions specifically within medium and high
density residential zoning districts. Below is a table showing the current building height standard
of dwellings in R-3 (Medium Density Residential) and R-4 (High Density Residential) zoning
districts:
City of Pasco (current standard)
R-3 (Medium
Density
Residential)
R-4 (High
Density
Residential)
Max dwelling
height 35 feet 35 feet
With the UGA under scrutiny for a proposed expansion, the potential for low-density residential
sprawl is problematic. To help mitigate this potential and provide more opportunity for housing
units, the following revisions have been proposed:
R-3 Zone: Increase maximum dwelling height to 40 feet (measured to midpoint of gable),
and allow for a greater dwelling height via Special Permit
R-4 Zone: Increase maximum dwelling height to 45 feet (measured to midpoint of gable),
and allow for a greater dwelling height via Special Permit
It should be noted that the definition of “building height” according to the Zoning Code is “[…] the
vertical distance from grade plane to the average height of the highest roof surface […]”. Below is
a simplified representation of this provision.
Midpoint of
highest roof
surface
Page 101 of 119
2
For example, according to current provisions, a building in an R-4 zoning district is permitted at 35
feet to the midpoint of the gable, but the resulting height to the peak of the building is 40 feet
(plus or minus). Thus, if the proposed code revisions are adopted, a building in an R-4 zone will be
permitted at 45 feet to the midpoint, and around 50 feet to the peak.
Both Richland and Kennewick permit dwelling heights in excess of what Pasco currently permits, at
least in their versions of the R-4 (High Density Residential) zoning district.
City of Richland
R-2S (Medium
Density
Residential)
R-3 (Multiple-
Family
Residential)
Max dwelling
height 30 feet 40 feet
*Dwelling height is measured to midpoint of highest roof surface (same as PMC)
City of Kennewick
RM (Medium
Density
Residential)
RH (High
Density
Residential)
Max dwelling
height 35 feet 45 feet
*Dwelling height is measured to highest point on roof
Richland and Kennewick measure this distance differently; however, these measurements result in
comparable dwelling height due to the height of the average gable. Should the proposed standard
be adopted, the City of Pasco will permit the tallest buildings in the Tri-Cities MSA (at least in the
R-4 zoning district).
Increasing dwelling height in these zoning districts will ultimately provide an opportunity for the
creation of more dwelling units within one building. Builders/developers of property zoned R-4 will
be permitted to construct four-story buildings, when previously, the 35-foot height limit restricted
buildings to three stories. Further, an additional story may give builders/developers more
flexibility with the design and layout of a development, as building vertically lends the opportunity
to reserve more ground area for parking or open space.
Planning staff has discussed this proposed code revision with the Fire Marshal/Building Official
regarding any building implications by increasing building height, and no contradictions with the
International Building Code or other adopted codes have arisen. It should be noted that because
the rear setback of a dwelling in an R-3 or R-4 zoning district must be at least equal to the dwelling
height (as shown above), the rear setback in these zones will increase proportionally.

Chairperson Myhrum read the master file number and asked for comments from staff.
Darcy Bourcier, Planner I, discussed the code amendment regarding maximum dwelling height in R-3 and R-
4 zoning districts. Staff has adjusted the proposed heights since the Planning Commission previously viewed
this item. The current standard for maximum dwelling height in R-3 and R-4 is 35 feet. With the Urban
Growth Area (UGA) under scrutiny for a proposed expansion, the potential for low-density residential sprawl
is problematic. To help mitigate this potential and provide more opportunity for housing units, the following
revisions have been proposed; R-3 Zone: Increase maximum dwelling height to 40 feet measured to the
midpoint of the gable and allow for a greater dwelling height via special permit; R-4 Zone: Increase maximum
dwelling height to 45 feet measured to the midpoint of the gable and allow for a greater dwelling height via
special permit.
There were questions and discussion between Commissioners and Staff regarding the content in the staff
report.
The public hearing was opened for public testimony but no public testimony was given.
Commissioner Bykonen moved, seconded by Commissioner Bowers, to close the hearing on the proposed
code amendment and set July 18, 2019 as the date for deliberations and the development of a
recommendation for the City Council. The motion passed unanimously.

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve the Interlocal Agreement with Columbia Basin College
& Port of Pasco for the Argent Road Project, and further, authorize the City Manager
to execute the agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City of Pasco along with partners Columbia Basin Community College (CBC) and
The Port of Pasco (Port) worked together to envision necessary improvements to the
Argent Road corridor from Road 36 to 20th Avenue.
These improvements will add width and frontage enhancements, including curb/gutter
and sidewalk as well as intersection improvements to this critical transportation
corridor.
Together the partners decided to phase the improvements out to first focus on a smaller
more critical portion, that portion of Argent Road from Saraceno/Varney to 20th
Avenue. The remainder of the corridor, Road 36 to Saraceno/Varney, is in the planning
phase and will be completed in the future as funding comes available.
These Inter-Local Agreements (ILA) are with CBC and Port detailing their financial
Page 106 of 119
involvement in the project(s).
V. DISCUSSION:
The City along with its partners CBC and the Port, desire to construct improvements to
Argent Road, which is a phased project. Phase 1 extends from Saraceno/Varney to 20th
Avenue, a subsequent phase(s) will extend the improvements from Road 36 to
Saraceno/Varney.
These improvements will include, but are not limited to, road widening, curb/gutter,
sidewalk, drainage facilities, and street lighting.
The responsibilities associated with the anticipated costs of these improvements are
identified in the ILA’s with both CBC and the Port. Specific to the Port ILA and
consistent with PMC 3.40.050, the agreement provides that the Port’s financial
contribution to the project will be credited toward any traffic impact fees associated
with the future development of Port-owned property abutting Argent Road within the
project limits, excepting the value of right of way dedicated by the Port to complete the
project.
This item was discussed at the September 9, 2019 Council Workshop.
