The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) owns a quarter section of land (160 acres)
located immediately south of one of the City-owned farm circles (Circle No. 4). The
City’s farm circles are used to provide final treatment and disposal of industrial
wastewater from five agricultural processors. The City previously approached the
USBR with a desire to purchase this land to increase the PWRF wastewater disposal

Another property owner adjacent to the USBR land, Middleton Six Sons Farms, LLC,
also expressed interest in purchasing the USBR property for additional farming use. In
2013, the City and Middleton Six Sons Farms, LLC entered into an agreement
(attached) to share in the purchase of the USBR property. The agreement provides the
City will purchase the whole parcel from USBR and then sell the south half to
Middleton at the same price per acre.
Page 16 of 95
The purchase price established by the USBR is based on an appraisal recently (2019)
completed by the Department of Interior's Appraisal and Valuation Services Office.

construction, and provision of utilities to the site (specifically electric); and
WHEREAS, the Parties enter into this Amendment No. 1 to set forth the financing and
ownership terms with respect to the proposed additional communication site on Red Mountain.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and in
accordance with RCW 39.34.030 and Section 8 of the 2018 Interlocal Agreement for Benton
County Emergency Services, the Parties agree to amend the 2018 Interlocal Agreement as follows:
1. Section 4.C. of the FINANCES section of the 2018 Interlocal Agreement is deleted and replaced
in its entirety with the following language:
800MHz Fund. The 800MHz Fund shall be used for the maintenance and operation of any
800MHz radio system, whether analog or digital, utilized by BCES. The Executive Board
is authorized to levy annual radio assessments upon all Parties who use radios under the
800MHz system, and to impose contract fees upon any contracting agencies for use of the
same. Assessments shall be determined annually by the Executive Board for inclusion in
the Parties’ annual budgets. Assessments shall be paid in periodic installments on a
schedule determined by the Executive Board. In the event an unforeseen exigent
circumstance or uninsured civil judgment results in costs to the Organization in excess of
the budgeted expenses for operation and administration of the 800MHz system, the
Executive Board is authorized to proportionately levy, by percentage of the Parties’ total
800MHz budget responsibility, additional fees to cover the unexpected liability. Such
excess costs shall be promptly remitted, upon demand, to Benton County Emergency
Services. If the cost overrun is attributable to a single agency’s action or inaction, the entire
cost overrun shall be borne by that agency.
In order to improve coverage of the 800MHz radio system maintained and operated by
BCES in certain areas of unincorporated Benton County, one (1) communication site on
Red Mountain will be constructed consisting of a trunked simulcast repeater; one (1)
microwave; an equipment shelter; a tower; a generator; a fuel tank; and batteries (the
“Communication Site”). To integrate the new Communication Site into the existing
system, the Golgotha ASTRO 25 Repeater Site must be upgraded with certain hardware,
software and services (the “Golgotha Upgrade”). To facilitate construction of the
Communication Site and the Golgotha Upgrade, Benton County agrees to: 1) reimburse
BCES, by and through its Administrative Jurisdiction, in an amount equal to the lesser of:
a) Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000); or b) the actual costs to purchase and install the
Communication Site and Golgotha Upgrade; and 2) directly pay the costs of easement
acquisition, design, and construction of a means of ingress and egress, along with provision
of utilities (specifically electric) to a parcel agreed upon by Benton County on which the
Communication Site will be located. All operational costs of the Communication Site shall
be paid by the Parties hereto in the same manner as other operational costs paid from the
800MHz fund.
The Administrative Jurisdiction is responsible for compliance with applicable procurement
laws respecting the purchase and installation of the Communication Site and Golgotha
Page 35 of 95
Amendment No. 1 to the 2018 Second Amended and Restated BCES Interlocal Page 3
Upgrade. Benton County is responsible for compliance with applicable procurement laws
respecting the access easement to the Communication Site.
Benton County shall deposit One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) into the 800MHz Fund
within thirty (30) days of the full execution of this Amendment No. 1 to the 2018 Interlocal
Agreement. The Administrative Jurisdiction will place the deposit in an interest bearing
account, and interest will accrue to the benefit of BCES and may be expended on the
Communication Site. Beginning on the thirtieth (30th) day after the initial deposit, and
occurring every thirty (30) days thereafter until the Communication Site is completed, the
Administrative Jurisdiction will send to Benton County a written summary of the expenses
incurred for the purchase and installation of the Communication Site. Upon thirty (30) days
written notice from the Administrative Jurisdiction that less than Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000) of Benton County’s deposited funds under this section
remain in said account, Benton County will deposit another Two Hundred Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($250,000). The account will continue to be replenished by Benton County in this
manner until $3,000,000 in the aggregate has been deposited by Benton County, or BCES
has been fully reimbursed, by and through its Administrative Jurisdiction, for the actual
costs of the purchase and installation of the Communication Site and Golgotha Upgrade,
whichever occurs first. Within thirty (30) days of release of retainage to the contractor for
the Communication Site work, the Administrative Jurisdiction will return to Benton
County the balance of all deposits made by Benton County for the Communication Site
that were not expended.
Parties to this Agreement who use the 800MHz system will continue to contribute to its
operation and maintenance costs, including costs for operation and maintenance of the
Communication Site, through annual radio assessments.
2. Section 5.C. of the PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT section of the 2018 Interlocal
Agreement is deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following language:
Specific Property Owned Solely by Benton County, Richland and Kennewick. All Parties
hereto acknowledge that the federal government may have ownership interests or rights
with respect to equipment purchased with funds provided by the federal government. All
Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Communication Site on Red Mountain as
referenced in Section 4.C above shall be owned exclusively by Benton County. All Parties
further acknowledge and agree that the remainder of the digital 800MHz radio system, the
real property and improvements located at 651 Truman Avenue in Richland, Washington,
the leasehold interests and other 800MHz equipment used by Benton County Emergency
Services and the Parties hereto at the several existing sites and the Benton County
Microwave System used by Benton County Emergency Services shall be owned
exclusively by Benton County and the cities of Richland and Kennewick as follows: fift y
percent (50%) ownership by Benton County; twenty-five percent (25%) ownership by
Kennewick; twenty-five percent (25%) ownership by Richland. The contributions by Pasco
and Franklin County required pursuant to section 4.G above do not create any ownership
interests in the above assets by those entities.

Amendment No. 1 to the 2018 Second Amended and Restated BCES Interlocal Page 4
3. All remaining terms, conditions and provisions of the 2018 Interlocal Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.

I. REFERENCE(S):
Vicinity Map
Professional Services Agreement - RH2 Engineering
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
To approve Professional Services Agreement for the West Pasco Water Treatment
Plant (WPWTP) Improvements with RH2 Engineering, Inc. not to exceed $646,574.00,
and Services Professional the execute to City the authorize further, Manager
Agreement.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Agreement Total: Not to exceed $646,574.00
2019-2020 Amended Biennial Budget: $2,145,000 (Design/partial Construction)
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The West Pasco Water Treatment Plant (WPWTP) was constructed in 2010. The plant
began operating in 2011 with a treatment capacity of 6 million gallons per day (MGD)
using a pressure membrane micro-filtration system. Consistent with the adopted
Comprehensive Water System Plan, improvements at the plant are necessary to meet
future demands through a phased approach to increase water treatment capacity from
the current rate of 6MGD, to 12 MGD, and ultimately to 18 MGD.
The aforementioned improvements, known as the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant
(WPWTP) Improvements Project, are included in the 2020-2025 Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) and the adopted 2019-2020 Biennial Budget.
Page 42 of 95
V. DISCUSSION:
In February 2020, the City issued a Request for Qualifications from consulting
engineering firms for the design of the improvements at the West Pasco Water
Treatment Plant. In March 2020, Statements of Qualifications were received from four
firms, three of which were subsequently interviewed. The selection committee found
RH2 Engineering, Inc. to be the most qualified consultant and negotiated the scope and
fee for the design of the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant (WPWTP) Improvements.
As proposed, the future capacity improvements at the plant will include:
• The addition of a second pressure membrane micro-filtration module
• Expand and upgrade the existing backwash ponds
• Installation of high service pumps at the treatment plant
• Additional pumps at the intake facility
• Other associated upgrades to the plant’s ancillary systems
The proposed professional services agreement for engineering design of the West
Pasco Water Treatment Plant (WPWTP) Improvements Project will provide for the
necessary expansion and upgrades to increase water treatment capacity at the West
Pasco Water Treatment Plant to 12 MGD.
The adopted 2020-2025 CIP reflects an estimated construction cost of $4.62 million.
Further evaluation and refinement of these estimated costs will be part of the
preliminary design and alternatives selection process.
Attached is the negotiated Professional Services Agreement (PSA). Staff has reviewed
the final agreement for completeness, and determined it to be sufficient in scope to
complete the necessary improvements and the City Attorney’s office has approved as
to form.
This item was discussed at the June 22, 2020 Council Workshop. Staff recommends
approval of the proposed Professional Services Agreement with RH2 Engineering, Inc.

City of Pasco
West Pasco Water Treatment Plant Expansion
Design and Permitting
June 2020
Background
The City of Pasco (City) is growing rapidly, and its potable water demands are increasing with
population growth and local industries. The City has two water treatment plants on opposite ends of
its distribution system. While these plants can accommodate current and short-term peak demands
together, individual plant capacity must increase to meet the City’s 20-year planning projection. The
West Pasco Water Treatment Plant (WPWTP) was designed to accommodate equipment expansion
within the facility, and this is a cost-effective way for the City to handle growth.
Raw water is pumped to the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant from the Columbia River intake. The
raw water intake is sized to handle current and future expansion; however, the pump station is only
equipped with pumps for 6 million gallons per day (MGD) supply currently. At the WPWTP, the raw
water is pre-chlorinated and fed a coagulant prior to passing through two pre-filtration strainers. The
pre-treated water is then filtered using two parallel membrane module systems, each with a capacity
of 3 MGD, for a total capacity of 6 MGD currently. Filtered water is chlorinated again and sent to a
clear well to meet chlorine contact time (CT) requirements and provide storage ahead of the high
service pump station to the distribution system.
Filter backwash is sent to two sloped decant ponds that have difficulties handling all the process
water. Currently, settled backwash water and all other waste streams are sent to the City’s
wastewater treatment facility for handling.
The City plans to expand plant capacity in increments , first to 12 MGD, and then eventually to
18 MGD. The existing treatment plant facility has a large footprint and open floor pl an to
accommodate additional equipment. However, careful consideration should be given to evaluate the
existing equipment and proposed retrofit modifications to reduce plant downtime and align the
improvements with the City’s other projects and overall bud get.
The City proceeded with a consultant selection process to design and implement modifications to
the WPWTP. RH2 Engineering, Inc., (RH2) was selected to provide the professional engineering
services to complete the preliminary and final design for the proposed improvements.
This Scope of Work presents the design and permitting tasks for this project as follows:
•Task 1 – Preliminary Design
•Task 2 – Final Design
•Task 3 – Permitting
•Task 4 – Project Administration and Management

A scope of work and fee estimate for the following tasks will be developed once design has been
completed.
•Task 5 – Services During Bidding
•Task 6 – Services During Construction
•Task 7 – SCADA Software Development
Approach
Task 1 – Preliminary Design
Objective: Prepare a technical memorandum summarizing the WPWTP improvements, design
criteria, and initial equipment selections. Prepare a project report for Washington State Department
of Health (DOH) submittal based on applicable Washington Administrative Code (WAC) requirements
for the WPWTP improvements.
Approach:
Perform a Limited Condition Assessment: Perform a technical site visit. Document known
deficiencies. Investigate electrical, structural, process, mechanical, heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning (HVAC) equipment, and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA)
instrumentation. Review and summarize existing WPWTP process data provided by the City.
Coordinate with the membrane system manufacturer to visit the site and asse ss the status of
the existing membrane systems and determine requirements for the expansion.
Perform Hydraulic Analyses and Pump Selection: Develop system head curves and perform
preliminary Zone 3 High Service Booster Pump Station (BPS) pump sizing and selection for two
Zone 3 pumping alternatives: 1) two pump configuration; or 2) three pump configuration. Each
pumping alternative will be reviewed with up to three (3) Zone 3 transmission main and storage
alternatives. An evaluation of a detached, standalone BPS also will be considered. Review
original mechanical design intent for the intake facility, create projected system head curve(s)
for the raw water supply facility, and identify new pumping equipment improvements
necessary for the proposed WPWTP expansion.
Perform Mechanical and Process Analyses: Review mechanical systems and develop a list of
improvements, including but not limited to, raw-water-to-waste, membrane expansion,
mechanical strainers, filter backwash systems, chemical storage and feed capacity, access, and
piping, filter-to-waste piping addition, HVAC upgrades, structural appurtenances for moving
equipment (i.e. gantry, bridge cranes) and improving access, noise mitigation appurtenances,
valve and actuator replacements, permanent waste and drain piping improvements, and
chlorine contact time tank improvements. Coordinate with and obtain preliminary proposal
from membrane filter skid manufacturer regarding expansion and integration into the existing
filter system and support systems such as blowers and Clean-in-place (CIP). Review existing High
Service BPS pump suction and discharge piping alternatives and identify improvements to
reduce cavitation and comply with Hydraulic Institute standards, including consideration for a

standalone BPS. Develop costs for the mechanical system improvements along with a short
narrative regarding the benefit they will provide, such as increased safety, reduced
maintenance, automation, etc.
Perform Residuals Handling Analyses: Review existing filter backwash process and quantities
discharged, estimate increased quantities based on expansion and modifications, and develop
residuals handling alternatives. Identify and detail mechanical processes for separating the
backwash water flow continuously at a high rate separation process into a clarified liquid stream
and a concentrated waste stream, such as plate settling or dissolved air flotation . This may
include modifying the existing settling basins to serve as equalization basins to lower the
continuous process flow rate. Pre-treatment process alternatives such as turbidity reduction,
chlorine residual removal, and coagulation addition will be considered. The clarified water
waste stream disposal options to be evaluated include: 1) send to irrigation; 2) recycle to
WPWTP raw water; 3) treat to drinking water standards; 4) discharge to the river; and 5) any
combination of these. Additional clarified water post-treatment processes will be evaluated
based on the estimated water quality and preferred clarified water discharge location. Residual
solids processing and disposal will be reviewed. Determine the equipment units and process
methods required for each process alternative and develop a weighted decision matrix to
provide a recommendation.
Perform Electrical and Control System Analyses: Review as-built drawings and information
collected from the technical site visit in subtask 1.1 to develop electrical load calculations for
the WPWTP and Intake Pump Station. Determine the electrical distribution system modification
requirements required to integrate the proposed mechanical and process equipment into the
existing electrical distribution system. Perform generator sizing calculations to determine the
appropriately sized generator for providing standby power at both the WPWTP and Intake
Pump Station. Identify alternatives for supplying backup power to the proposed equipment.
Alternatives at the WPWTP shall include reuse of the existing standby generator while load
shedding to only operate critical equipment and systems, adding a second standby generator
operating in parallel with the existing generator, and replacing the existing generator in its
entirety with a larger generator. Alternatives at the Intake Pump Station shall include supplying
standby power to the new pumps from the WPWTP standby generator either through medium
voltage or low voltage distribution. The alternatives analysis shall include a review of the
existing fuel storage system and whether additional fuel storage will be required. The use of a
load bank also shall be evaluated to prevent wet stacking. Additionally, the automatic transfer
switch shall be evaluated to determine if replacement is required. Evaluate the existing control
system hardware and software to identify the necessary improvements to the control system
to operate the WPWTP after the proposed improvements are constructed and to replace
obsolete components needing replacement. Prepare a phasing strategy for performing both the
electrical and control system improvements with as little downtime as possible.
Prepare Technical Memorandum: Prepare a technical memorandum describing the proposed
WPWTP improvements, design criteria, and initial equipment selections. Perform internal

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 2018, the City of Pasco contracted with Code Publishing Company to re-codify and
host the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) on an on-going basis. As a part of the re-
codification process, Code Publishing also performed a legal review of the PMC and
reviewed all sections of the PMC for consistency, archaic language, internal conflicts,
as well as compliance with state and federal laws. A detailed report was provided to the
City Attorney after the completion of the review.
The City Attorney and his staff have completed its review of the report and the
proposed code amendments within the attached ordinance. This the second of five such
ordinances to bring the PMC up to standards in terms of removing conflicting text and
meeting the requirements of state and federal laws. The first ordinance was adopted at
the February 18, 2020 Council meeting.
Page 66 of 95

infractions described in the PMC Chapter 9.100 that Council questioned during the
February 24 workshop.
V. DISCUSSION:
Mr. Ferguson will provide answers related to follow-up questions from the March 9,

Remote Regular Meeting:
7/6/20
FROM: Brent Kubalek, Recreation Services Manager
Administrative & Community Services
SUBJECT: *Resolution Authorizing the Washington State Recreation and Conservation
Office (RCO) Grant Application
I. REFERENCE(S):

Proposed Resolution
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ____, authorizing the City Manager, or
his designee, to act as the authorized representative/agent on behalf of the City of
Pasco and to legally bind the City of Pasco with respect to both the Highland Park
Improvements Phase II Project and the Sacajawea Heritage Trail - Shared Use
Improvements Project for which City staff seek grant funding assistance managed
through the WA State Recreation and Conservation Office.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Highland Park Improvements Phase II:
• $249,250 from City CIP and Donations from Pasco Youth Football (PYF). City
would need to cover this amount if the donations from PYF fell through.
• $350,000 Grant Request from the YAF Grant Program through RCO
Sacajawea Heritage Trail Project:
• $850,000 Commitment from City as part of the CIP
• $1,827,000 Grant Request from the WWRP Trails Grant Program through RCO
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) manages grant
programs to create outdoor recreational opportunities. RCO grants have been an
Page 74 of 95
important funding source for the City in development of numerous parks and
recreational projects in the past. RCO has issued a call for projects and staff is
proposing submittal of these two projects for consideration in order to increase the
City's chances for an award. Each of the projects described below, in some form, are
within the adopted Capital Improvement Plan and support City Council Goals.
The Highland Park Improvements Phase II project will replace the old and rusted "H"
style goal posts with official "Y" style posts on the main field (field 1) and field 2. This
will improve safety by reducing the possible collision points from 4 to 2 on ea ch field
as well as move the poles back away from the field of play. Together with these on-
field safety updates to the goal posts, this project will also install a centrally located
ADA accessible restroom building with storage and office space. Currentl y, restroom
needs are met through an outdated and undersized restroom facility and by a number of
portable toilets brought in during each season.
The Sacajawea Heritage Trail - The Shared Use Improvements project will reconstruct
a 1.25 mile long segment of the Sacajawea Heritage Trail between Rd. 52 and Rd. 72.
Currently, with few exceptions, the Sacajawea Heritage Trail runs all along the
Columbia River from Chiawana Park on the west, to Sacajawea State Park on the east.
The proposed 12-foot-wide trail will be 4 feet wider than the existing trail, and will
meet industry standards for mixed use (bicycles/pedestrians). The improvements will
match improvements already made on adjacent segments of trail, which meet current
mixed use design standards. Widening will be accomplished by lowering the levee and
the widened trail will be ADA compliant. The riverfront Sacajawea Trail is constantly
used by walkers, runners, bikers, and other non-motorized modes of transportation. It
frequently plays host to both recreational and competitive running and biking events. It
is used by many to walk or bike to work. Rapid population growth has increased use of
trail network and a continued investment in adjacent publicly accessible recreational
facilities. Quality of public experience on the trail will continue to decrease as the trail
is more heavily used, unless recommended widening is performed. Adjacent portions
of existing trail have been upgraded to provide additional width in conformance with
industry design guidelines for shared use trails. This project is a missing link in this
bicycle/pedestrian friendly network and will also benefit disadvantaged neighborhoods.
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed resolution authorizes the City to submit the grant application and states
that we understand the City's commitment should the grant be awarded. Staff
recommends approval of the proposed resolution.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On March 16, 2020, Mayor Saul Martinez proclaimed the existence of a civil
emergency pursuant to the Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Section 2.55.010 due to the
COVID-19 emergency, which has caused a world-wide pandemic.
The purpose of emergency orders (EO) allows the City, including its businesses and
community members, to continue to conduct business, ensuring that the safety of
everyone is secured, while maintaining the needed services for all.
V. DISCUSSION:
EOs require ratification of the City Council by resolution, below is a summary of the
EO before Council tonight:
Effective 12:01 a.m. on Friday, July 3, Franklin County was approved for a modified
Page 81 of 95
Phase 1 of the state's Safe Start Phased Reopening Plan. The approval allows limited
and modified openings for some businesses and activities, one of which includes
outdoor seating for restaurants at 50% of allowable outdoor capacity.
Pasco Municipal Code 25.185.170 requires a restaurant must dedicate one off-street
parking space for every 100 square feet of floor area to accommodate patrons. With
current restrictions on dine-in restaurant capacity, and limits on outdoor seating, it is
unlikely establishments will utilize or require the number of existing off-street parking
for the near future. To provide further assistance to our restaurants, temporary changes
will allow additional outdoor seating capacity.
Staff recommends Council ratification through the approval of the resolution as
presented.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council June 30, 2020
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Remote Workshop Meeting:
7/6/20
FROM: Rick White, Director
Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Coronavirus Relief Fund
I. REFERENCE(S):
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to authorize use of up to one million dollars of the Department of
Commerce Coronavirus Relief Funds for business assistance.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Receipt of approximately $2.25M in funds for expenses/relief related to COVID-19
with approximately $1.0M of that amount directed towards local business relief.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Washington State Department of Commerce announced nearly $300 million in
federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funds
awarded to the state to address COVID-19-related costs. Pasco has been allocated
approximately $2.25M of this funding. Distribution of these funds will allow cities
(and counties) to use their allocation for a variety of COVID-19 related expenses -
including:
• Payroll expenses for public safety, public health, health care, human services,
and similar employees whose services are substantially dedicated to mitigating
or responding to the emergency;
• Medical and public health expenses;
• Expenses of actions to facilitate compliance with public health measures;
• Expenses associated with the provision of economic support in connection with
the emergency; and
• Any other COVID-19-related expenses reasonably necessary to the function of
government that meet eligibility criteria.
Page 87 of 95
Funds may be used for costs incurred by the local government in response to the
COVID-19 public health emergency during the period March 1 through October 31,
2020. Pasco has contracted with the Department of Commerce to provide and receive
the funds.
The City has also opened applications slated to receive approximately $350,000 in
Community Grant Block Development (CDBG-fundsCARES CV) of use for
alleviating economic business distress related to the COVID-19 pandemic and will be
able to use approximately $500K in accumulated HOME Consortium funds for use in
providing economic assistance for residential tenants.
V. DISCUSSION:
Approximately $865K has been spent by the City on eligible activities related to
COVID-19. Staff also estimates that prior to the eligibility period ending (October 31,
2020) an additional $1.8M will be further incurred for eligible activities undertaken by
the City.
A large portion of the expense thus far and anticipated going forward is attributable to
benefits mandated by the federal government such as 80 hours of federal emergency
leave as well as others, with a smaller portion attributed to COVID-19 related benefits
recently passed by the Council. An estimated $800K of the $1.3M in labor costs is
expected to be a reallocation of resources, as in, labor costs that were budgeted and
would have been spent on other tasks.
Because of the significant fiscal impacts to the City, in terms of operational costs, as
the result of COVID-19, and the fact that revenues are significantly decreased during
this time, the use of some of the CARES Act funding to cover eligible COVID -19
related expenses is recommended to lessen the City's reliance fund reserves.
Staff recommends that the Council allocate the expected balance of approximately
$1.0M of the Local CARES, alongside nearly $1.0M in HUD CARES - CV (HOME
funds of $500K/CDBG - CV funds of $434K) to provide for other uses of the funds -
including small business and "micro-enterprise" relief/assistance matching the focus of
the CDBG CARES funding described above.
Staff has developed guidelines and protocol with Federal and State guidance for
administration of the CDBG CARES relief funds, and recommends that the CRF pass
through fund guidelines include:
• Minimum ($10K) and maximum ($30K) awards for assistance;
• Minimum business location in Pasco and in operation for a minimum of 1 year;
• Eligibility for businesses with 20 or less employees; and
• Use of funds for "non-essential" business relief.
Page 88 of 95
In distributing federal funds to beneficiaries, the factors noted above will drive the
number of beneficiaries. The number of beneficiaries will have an impact on the
bandwidth of the infrastructure processing, accounting and reporting on monies
distributed.Which can impact the timeliness of the aid needed in the areas targeted.
In this case and considering the economic circumstances affecting the community -
staff requests Council allocate $1M for business relief.
