IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Community engagement has been a long-time goal of the Pasco City Council. In
pursuing that goal Council and staff have made numerous improvements over the past
several years; greater use of social media, pro-active press releases, an emphasis on
public input and notification, proactive messaging, etc. Within the 2018-2019 adopted
budget Council authorized an effort to implement an interactive public engagement
tool. In 2018 staff initiated an evaluation process, selected a platform and have since
been working with the provider prepare its product for implementation in Pasco. Staff
has been working with an internal staff group to beta test the application and work out
issues, with the corrections made through this process the product is nearing the
implementation phase for use by the public.
Dubbed, AskPasco, this new community engagement platform will cultivate
meaningful interactions between the City's residents, business owners, or visitors and
the City staff and leadership. The tool can be accessed from common platforms like ios
and android mobile applications, as well as the City's website. Mobile applications and
website will be available in English and Spanish language. The tool will use language
localization of the computer or mobile device to display the desired language. Users
can also rely upon widely available Google Translate to access the tool in 100+
Page 3 of 74
languages.
AskPasco will streamline City's tracking of resident inquiries/concerns, provide for a
standardized communication channel, and create information dashboard to facilitate
data driven decision making among staff. Local governments across the nation are
experiencing consistent, highly effective, and sophisticated cyber attacks. The attackers
are utilizing the contact information available publicly to generate highly personalized
phishing attempts. This makes it increasingly difficult for staff to distinguish between
valid concerns over a phishing attempt. This tool will allow the City staff and
leadership to safely engage with our community and vice versa.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff will provide a preview of AskPasco with Council and demonstrate the work done
so far and work that is needing to be completed to roll out the product to the public.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In 2019, the City Council adopted Ordinance No. 4431, expanding hearing examiner
powers on land use decisions, conduct of hearings and recommendations for City
Council consideration, hear appeals, and take any other action authorized by the Pasco
Municipal Code (PMC).
Several existing PMC sections incorrectly specify or reference the Planning
Commission as the entity involved in certain land use actions now delegated to the
Hearing Examiner. The attached draft housekeeping ordinance addresses these deficits.
V. DISCUSSION:
The revisions contained in Ordinance No. 4431, were enacted because use of a hearing
examiner system is advantageous in the application of land use law and project
permitting. Use of a hearing examiner system also reduces the City’s liability exposure
and allows the Planning Commission to focus on policy issues.
The proposed housekeeping revisions are minor and are consistent with the intent of
Page 5 of 74
the original hearing examiner Ordinance No. 4431.
Staff requests Council consideration of the proposed revisions in the attached draft
ordinance.

“ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES”.
WHEREAS, cities have the responsibility to regulate and control the physical
development within their borders and to ensure public health, safety and welfare are maintained;
and
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco has zoning regulations that encourage orderly growth and
development; and
WHEREAS, over time, regulations and case law have evolved to produce a complicated
administration process related to the Pasco Municipal Code; and
WHEREAS, use of politically appointed or elected officials to make quasi-judicial land
use decisions has become the source of legal challenges and the source of liability, and has
resulted in a much more complicated land use environment; and
WHEREAS, use of the hearing examiner system for such land use decisions has given
cities an advantageous alternative to handling quasi-judicial decisions involving land use
regulations; and
WHEREAS, a hearing examiner is a specifically trained individual that is experienced in
the knowledge and application of land use law and project permitting; and
WHEREAS, use of a hearing examiner system can reduce the liability exposure of the
City and allow the City Council and Planning Commission to concentrate on policy decisions and
land use regulations that would then be implemented in and enforced through hearing examiner
decisions; and
WHEREAS, in 2019 the City Council passed Ordinance 4431, which expanded powers of
the hearing examiner found in Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Section 2.50.080 to (1) render land
use decisions including preliminary plats, special and conditional use permits, planned density
developments, recreational vehicle parks, and wineries; (2) conduct hearings and prepare
recommendations for City Council consideration of rezone and planned unit development

applications; (3) hear appeals of a right-of-way use permit, construction permit, or the renewal or
conditioning thereof; and (4) take any other action authorized by ordinance; and
WHEREAS, in light of the provisions of Ordinance 4431, several unchanged code sections
incorrectly still specify or reference the Planning Commission as the entity involved in such
actions; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that to further the purposes of
comprehensive planning and to maintain and protect the welfare of the community in the area of
land use decisions, it is necessary to amend PMC Chapter 9.130 Noise Regulation, and Titles 21
Urban Area Subdivision Regulations, 23 Environmental Impact, 25 Zoning, and 29 Shoreline
Master Program to correct references regarding the decision authority for the hearing examiner.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City received a Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation from owners of
property located near the southwest corner of Road 52 and Wernett Road.
The Notice of Intent contains sufficient signatures to initiate the annexation process.
Notices of Intent are required to contain the signatures of property owners representing
at least ten (10) percent of the assessed value of an area proposed for annexation.
In this case, the Notice of Intent contains the signatures of owners representing 100
percent of the assessed value within the proposed annexation area, as described and
depicted in the draft Resolution, Exhibit A.
Page 20 of 74
V. DISCUSSION:
The petition method of annexation is a two-step process requiring the submittal of a
Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings, followed at a later date by an
actual Annexation Petition.
Upon receipt of a Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation the Council is required by
law to set a date to hold a public meeting to consider:
1. Whether the city will accept, reject, or geographically modify the proposed
annexation;
2. Whether it will require the simultaneous adoption of a proposed zoning
regulation; and
3. Whether it will require the assumption of all or any portion of existing city
indebtedness by the area to be annexed.
If - after conduct of the public meeting on September 8, 2020 - Council chooses to
move forward with the annexation process, staff recommends:
• The annexation area be geographically modified to include all properties west
of Road 52 and east of the nearest City Limits line to the west, and north of the
extension of the south property line of the Kelly property to the closest City
Limits line to the north, as depicted in Exhibit C;
• That the territory to be annexed will not require simultaneous adoption of
zoning regulations (following policy - zoning will be recommended by the
Planning Commission after conduct of a public meeting); and
• That the annexation area assume a proportionate share of the City's past bonded
indebtedness (per Resolution No. 3872).
Staff is currently exploring with the annexation applicant the provision of City water
and sewer service to this property to serve a potential residential subdivision.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council August 18, 2020
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager Remote Workshop Meeting:
8/24/20
FROM: Bob Gear, Fire Chief
Fire Department
SUBJECT: Lucas Automated CPR Machines
I. REFERENCE(S):
Powerpoint-Lucas Automated CPR Machines
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Use of $56,000 accumulated in the PFD Life Pak Equipment Replacement Fund
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is a very labor intensive operation
and can last for as long as 45 minutes. High performance CPR is defined as chest
compression's of over 100 beats per minute. Such effort will quickly fatigue even the
most fit firefighter, and because of that personnel rotate every two minutes. With the
increased Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) requirements for COVID-19
protection, including a barrier gown, has made these types of intense close quarters
operations even more challenging for Pasco Fire Department (PFD) personnel.
V. DISCUSSION:
Utilizing funds accumulated in the PFD Life Pak equipment replacement fund allows
for the purchase Lucas Automated CPR devices. These devices are manufactured by
and compatible with our Physio Control Life Paks and actually record the CPR
effectiveness on the paper and electronic record of the CPR event. Currently, the PFD
has to rotate crews from all four (4) stations during a long duration CPR event which
impacts response times and overall readiness.
Page 33 of 74
The automated CPR devices allow the PFD staff to work long duration resuscitation
events with less staffing commitment, which allows units to be available for other calls
closer to their location and therefore, provide a quicker response time.
The PFD would purchase and carry one-unit in the ambulance at each of the four (4)
stations; each machine is $14,000.

LUCAS Chest Compression
System
Page 35 of 74
HPCPR
◦High Performance Cardio Pulmonary Resucitation
◦Takes anywhere from 7 to 9 for effective CPR
◦PFD dispatches two ambulances, an engine (or similar) and Battalion Chief for CPR calls
◦7 personnel initially
◦Additional staff respond if available (i.e. day staff –EMS officer, Training Officer)
◦Recent increased use of additional personal protective equipment (PPE), including gowns,
adds to the workload of crews
◦Emphasis on quality chest compressions
◦Rotate compressors every 2 minutes
◦Perform CPR for 30 to 40 minutes on scene depending on patient status
Page 36 of 74
Lucas 3 CCS
◦Lucas 3 Chest Compression System
◦Allows the machine/device to take place of multiple crew members
◦Consistent rhythm based on device settings
◦Can be applied quickly and easily
◦Runs on exchangeable batteries
Page 37 of 74
Benefits of Lucas Device
•High quality compressions are goal
•Quality goes down with fatigue
•Lucas maintains consistent rate and quality
•Less personnel required when using device
•Requires 1 person to manage device in place of 4 doing chest compression
•Allows for quicker return to service for next incident
•Less personnel exposed (COVID)
•Less exertion in full COVID PPE = less heat exposure to crew
•Currently having to rehab crew working code in full PPE in the heat of the day
•Safer than performing CPR while standing during transportPage 38 of 74

FROM: Bob Gear, Fire Chief
Fire Department
SUBJECT: Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) for Self Contained Breathing Apparatus
(SCBA) Replacement
I. REFERENCE(S):
Powerpoint- Current and New Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA)
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
FEMA Grant funding $416,018.18, required 10% local match of $41,601.82.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Pasco Fire Department (PFD) last updated their Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBA) is 2010. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)
standards for breathing apparatus are updated every three years. To qualify for
Assistance To Firefighters Grant (AFG) your SCBA must be at least ten (10) years old
and two NFPA update cycles behind.
V. DISCUSSION:
There has been considerable change in SCBA equipment since the last replacement.
The maximum life of an SCBA is 15 years; the PFD is fortunate to receive a grant
before timing out. The PFD has been budgeting in equipment replacement for the last
three years and have over $140,000 set aside which will cover ten-percent (10%) match
and purchase any items not approved in the Grant. The City will continue the practice
of budgeting in reserves so funds are available in the future. The total amount of the
grant award is $457,620.00 with the 10% required match of $41,601.82. FEMA will
fund the remainder of the grant amount or $416,018.18.
Page 40 of 74
As a fire community in the Tri-Cities, the area fire departments all strive to use the
same SCBA to simplify training, repair and maintenance and compatibility in
emergency situations such as having to “buddy breath.”
There have many improvements with these SCBA including removing weight from the
face piece relieving strain on the neck, improved communication abilities, increased
mobility (better balance and agility) while wearing the SCBA, and easier maintenance
of the unit. The newer units allow technology to assist in monitoring firefighter’s air
supply and allow for additional safety considerations for the firefighter.
Staff recommends acceptance of this grant.
