III.FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV.HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The Port of Pasco requested an amendment to the Pasco Municipal (Zoning) Code for
the creation of a new zoning district titled “Waterfront Development District.” The Port
of Pasco owns, operations, and manages major facilities in the greater Pasco area
including the Tri-Cities Airport, Big Pasco (Industrial Center), the Pasco Processing
Center, and has led and participated in various programming and planning for
economic development in our region.
The proposed amendment would encompass approximately 52 acres of property owned
by the Port of Pasco, north of the Sacagawea Heritage Trail, and bound by Ainsworth
to the North, Gray Street to the West, and SE Road 40 to the East. The primary use of
the existing property is Osprey Pointe, a business and office center home to the Port of
Pasco offices. The proposed Waterfront Development District would be a permitted
Page 3 of 57
zoning district under the Mixed Residential and Commercial Land Use designation of
the Comprehensive Plan - pending the Plan's approval and adoption.
The creation of the Waterfront Development District implements the shared vision of
increasing uses and amenities on Pasco's waterfront shared by both the Port and the
City, and as expressed by community support. Past planning efforts included the Boat
Basin and Marine Terminal Plan (2010) which identified mixed-use developments with
residential densities at the Marine Terminal; and in 2016, the Port of Pasco, City of
Pasco, and Franklin County collaborated on SOMOS PASCO, a regional economic
strategic vision that has support from over 1,600 community members. Pasco and Tri-
Cities community identified a vibrant waterfront as a shared priority.
A supplemental memorandum from the Port of Pasco is attached to the staff report and
provides additional information and details about the proposal. Port staff will also be
present at the Council meeting to describe the vision for development at Osprey Point.
V.DISCUSSION:
The proposed Waterfront District Zoning code would be permitted under the Mixed
Residential/Commercial Land Use per the upcoming Comprehensive Plan. The
Waterfront District Zone itself will be permitted on the Port of Pasco - Osprey Point
owned site.
The code contains several departures from current zoning requirements that will more
easily encourage and permit mixed-use development opportunities identified to
implement the Osprey Point vision. The primary change in zoning is the allowance of
residential uses for Osprey Pointe. The combination of residential, commercial, office
with light industrial provides the Port of Pasco with an opportunity to maximize
development potential in Osprey Pointe. Additional code considerations include the
flexible range of permitted and prohibited uses, densities, parking, right-of-way
standards for multi-modal transportation, and building setbacks.
Staff requests Council consideration and discussion of the proposed amendment to the
Pasco Municipal Code.

MEMORANDUM TO PLANNING COMMISSION
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
City Hall – 525 North Third Avenue – Council Chambers
DATE: THURSDAY, June 18, 2020
6:00 PM
1
TO: Planning Commission
FROM: Jacob B. Gonzalez, Senior Planner
SUBJECT: MF # CA 2019-007 Waterfront District
Background
The Port of Pasco requested an amendment to the Pasco Municipal (Zoning) Code for the
creation of a new zoning district titled “Waterfront District.” PMC 25.210.020 states that any
person, firm, corporation or group of individuals, or municipal department may petition the
Pasco City Council for a zone or text change.
The Port of Pasco owns, operations and manages major facilities in the greater Pasco area
including the Tri-Cities Airport, Big Pasco (Industrial Center), the Pasco Processing Center and has
led and participated in various programming and planning for economic development in our
region.
The proposed amendment would encompass approximately 52 acres of property owned by the
Port of Pasco, north of the Sacagawea Heritage Trail and bound by E Ainsworth to the North, S
Gray Street to the West and SE Road 20 to the East. The primary use of the existing property is
Osprey Pointe, a business and office center home to the Port of Pasco offices.
Although the properties included are currently zoned industrial, the upcoming City
Comprehensive Plan has re-classified the area for Mixed Residential/Commercial land use. The
Port of Pasco and the City of Paso have identified the Osprey Pointe area as a significant
opportunity to provide residents with a unique experience providing additional access to the
waterfront.
Proposed Code Amendment Considerations
The proposed Waterfront District Zoning code would be permitted under the Mixed
Residential/Commercial Land Use per the upcoming Comprehensive Plan. The Waterfront
District Zone itself will be permitted on the Port of Pasco / Osprey Point owned site.
The code contains several departures from current zoning requirements that will more easily
encourage and permit mixed-use development opportunities identified for the Osprey Point
vision. The primary change in zoning is the allowance of residential uses for Osprey Pointe. The
combination of residential, commercial, office with light industrial provides the Port of Pasco
with an opportunity to maximize development potential in Osprey Pointe.
Additional considerations and discussion for the Planning Commission should include the
following items (excerpts from the proposed code amendment):
Page 16 of 57

Permitted Uses/Prohibited Uses
Flexible range of permitted uses reflects the necessary diversity of development required to
encourage and reinforce the Osprey Pointe and Waterfront vision and purpose that would
include offices, restaurants, retail, hospitality and entertainment uses. Residential uses would
be allowed on the western edges of the property.
Conditional uses shall be considered for the following: retail/wholesale (exceeding 80,000 sqft),
service stations and drive-through uses. Prohibited uses would cover those that are high impact
and could not be made compatible with the development including (but not limited to) heavy
industrial and manufacturing uses.
Density/Height
A minimum density of 14 units per acre would be required for residential portions of the
Waterfront District, and a height limit of 60 feet would be in place thus limiting the maximum
density of any residential development.
The Comprehensive Plan permits the Mixed Residential/Commercial Land Use to include a
range of 5-29 dwelling units per acre, thus permitting the proposed densities proposed in the
draft amendment.
Setbacks
Development standards for setbacks in the proposed code would allow commercial and
residential uses with higher intensities to be placed closer the street while lower intensity uses
(single-family dwelling units) would be separated from the street and other units.
Parking
In an effort to promote a safe and walkable environment, the proposed code decreases the
required parking than what is required by the existing Pasco Municipal Code. The Waterfront
District includes a series of features and tools to ensure that adequate parking is provided and
used efficiently without overburdening properties.
Streets (Private)
The code amendments proposes the use and permitting of both public and private streets. The
City does not currently have standards for private streets, and only permits the use of private
streets through the Planned Unit Development Ordinance (PMC 25.140).
City staff believes that streets serving the Waterfront District shall include considerations for
the safe movement of all users, residents and customers and should include accommodations
for safe pedestrian access, bicycle travel and automobile traffic. As identified in the attached
submittal from the Port of Pasco and AHBL (Appendix B), the allowable use of private streets
that perform and create active places will further implement the vision identified for Osprey
Point.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Pasco Planning Commission
DATE: August 23, 2019
SUBJECT: Waterfront Development Code
PREPARED BY: Gary Ballew, Economic Development Director
Ethan Spoo, Senior Planner, WSP
Background
The Port of Pasco and the City of Pasco share a vision for the Pasco waterfront providing for a
multitude of uses. We developed this vision through a series of studies, such as the 2010 Boat
Basin and Marine Terminal Plan (Makers Study) that investigated the development of the
Marine Terminal and the Boat Basin neighborhood. The study was jointly funded by the City and
Port and in part called for high-density mixed use in the Marine Terminal. After the Makers
Study the Port commissioned the Marine Terminal Redevelopment Assessment Report as part
of its Marine Terminal cleanup efforts. The report looked at a mix of uses, including residential.
One of the earliest studies was the Big Pasco Industrial Center Master Plan, commissioned by
the Port in the late 90’s. The report envisioned taking the Big Pasco expansion area and
converting it to an attraction area. This idea was further vetted through several studies and is
what we now know as Osprey Pointe.
A vibrant waterfront vision is shared by the population of the Tri-Cities and Pasco. In 2016, the
Port, City and Franklin County collaborated on a regional economic strategic vision called
Somos Pasco. Input came from a citizen survey in Spanish and English (1600 participants),
several focus groups meetings, interviews with community leaders and a 60-second survey
utilized at community events. To quote from the report:
Among the highest priorities for community members is developing Pasco's
riverfront. The shared vision is mixed use residential-commercial development
combined with open space and public access along the expansive riverfront –
including trail linkages from the waterfront to the downtown. Consider product
types as yet under-represented in the Tri-Cities areas – as for townhomes, live-
work spaces, and mixed use buildings with ground floor commercial and
residential above. The first requirement is creation of a mixed use zone, which is
not currently available in the City of Pasco.
Somos Pasco is followed by the broader community vision My Tri 2030 being led by the
Regional Chamber of Commerce. My Tri 2030 echoed this sentiment, identifying an
“established waterfront” that would bring about “more family places and activities, happenings

and nightlife for the younger crowd, more gathering spaces, boutique shopping and dining,
music and arts…”
Why Mixed-Use
Osprey Pointe currently allows a mix of uses including, commercial, office, and light industrial,
but excludes residential. This ‘mixed-use-lite’ concept struggles to gain traction at Osprey
Pointe. Office/commercial areas abound in the Tri-Cities with the area located around Columbia
Center mall providing general office and retail opportunities. Power centers at Road 68,
Queensgate and Southridge provide similar developments. Adding a residential component,
combined with the shoreline setting, will allow Osprey Pointe to pursue a unique live-work-play
development as we see in other areas like Spokane’s Kendall Yards.
A mixed-use development will support job growth. A Cushman & Wakefield study noted that
62% of millennials wanted to live in a mixed-use community. Full mixed-use developments will
have the potential for attracting jobs that require a talent pool that wants a live-work-play
lifestyle. These are primarily professional jobs, which Somos Pasco identified as
underrepresented in Pasco. We have less white-collar workers as a percentage of total
employment than both Kennewick and Richland. We also lag behind ten central California
communities that Somos Pasco used to benchmark Pasco.
A mixed-use development makes sense for Osprey Pointe’s location. On the east, Osprey
Pointe borders the heavy industrial Big Pasco Industrial Center. On the west, it borders the boat
basin neighborhood, which has some commercial uses but is primarily a single-family residential
neighborhood. A mix of uses that transition across Osprey Pointe will also transition between
these neighborhoods.
As an outspoken advocate for industrial development, the Port is a somewhat surprising
proponent for converting industrial property to mixed-use, but the direction is not taken lightly.
Industrial development has changed over the past fifty years. Industrial facilities require large
parcels of land with great transportation access. This is why the Port encouraged the
designation of additional industrial lands along the 395 corridor. The Big Pasco Industrial Center
not only has existing capacity for industrial development that requires water access, but can
also be expanded to meet future opportunities.
Proposed Waterfront Code
The Port crafted the Waterfront Development district code to implement the vision shared by the
City and the Port for the walkable, high-density, mixed-use development with a focus on quality
design described in the City’s comprehensive plan. The draft code integrated and adapted
features from mixed-use and town center development codes for similar districts in other
Washington and Oregon cities. They included Kendall Yards in Spokane and the Waterfront
Use District in Richland, and Orenco Village in Hillsboro (Oregon) and the artisan manufacturing
code in Tillamook.
Consistent with the vision, the Waterfront Development district code allows the close-together
location of a wide variety of land uses, including residential, commercial, and light industrial, in
formats ranging from detached single-family residences to mixed-use buildings with ground floor
commercial and residential above. Overall, the code emphasizes medium-intensity land uses
and pedestrian-scale development but also allows standalone land uses such as commercial
with parking lots fronting streets and warehousing in appropriate locations and scales.
Compatibility between industrial, commercial, and residential uses is required by 1) transitioning
uses across the site, with industrial uses restricted to the area east of South Oregon Avenue
(Osprey Pointe Avenue) and residential generally west of South Oregon Avenue; 2) prohibiting
Page 20 of 57
WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CODE SUMMARY
AUGUST 26, 2019
PAGE 3
3
high-impact uses, such as heavy manufacturing; and 3) limiting commercial uses to no larger
than 80,000 square feet.
The following discussion summarizes key provisions of the draft Waterfront Development district
code.
Permitted/Conditional/Prohibited Uses
Permitted
The range of permitted uses in the draft code reflects the flexibility required by the Port to
develop a mixed-use district on the Columbia River waterfront.
Offices, including professional and government
Restaurants, breweries, and wineries
Religious and social institutions, such as churches and community organizations
Retail stores and services limited to 80,000 square-foot buildings, including grocery and
clothing stores, banks, bakeries, and dry cleaners
Hospitality and entertainment uses, such as hotels/motels, theaters, and public markets
Educational uses, such as universities/colleges and trade schools
Public parks
Residential uses generally west of a point 500 feet east of South Oregon Avenue,
including single-family detached residences, duplexes, townhouses, apartments, and
condominiums with single-family residences limited to the area east of Maitland Avenue
Light industrial, including research laboratories, warehouses, and business parks located
east of Oregon Avenue
Conditional
Conditional uses are those that may present compatibility concerns but could be integrated
through the City’s conditional use permit process.
Retail, wholesale, and commercial uses exceeding 80,000 square feet
Service stations
Drive-thru uses
Prohibited
Prohibited uses include those that are high impact and could not be made compatible with the
vision for the district such as heavy industrial and manufacturing uses, automobile sales, pawn
shops, adult entertainment, and junk yards.
Development Standards
The code’s proposed development standards encourage efficiency by maximizing the area for
land uses (buildings, open space, etc.) and by reducing the area required for automobiles
through shared parking incentives and lower parking ratios.
Density, Setbacks, and Dimensional Standards
Density: The code requires a minimum density of 14 units per net acre in residential
portions of the Waterfront Development district. There is no maximum density limit, but density
would be effectively limited by a 60-foot building height, equating to a 5- to 6-story building.
Page 21 of 57
WATERFRONT DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT CODE SUMMARY
AUGUST 26, 2019
PAGE 4
4
Requiring medium density as a minimum standard encourages the provision of a variety of
housing types to meet the needs of various types of residents (e.g., singles, families, and
seniors) and promotes affordable housing options.
Setbacks: In general, setbacks for commercial and residential uses in the code allow two
different development types: low-intensity uses, with buildings separated from the street by
parking lots and other buildings, and medium-intensity uses, with buildings fronting on streets
and accessible to pedestrians. As is typical in town centers, commercial and residential
buildings may have no setback from streets. Single-family residences would be separated from
the street and other units.
Heights: Buildings would be limited to 60 feet high for commercial and multifamily uses and
35 to 45 feet high for single-family and industrial uses.
Streets
Consistent with the vision of the district as a place for community gatherings and street festivals,
the Waterfront Development district code would allow some private streets that could be closed
to traffic to accommodate farmers’ markets or music and entertainment. Some streets would be
public. The City is working with the Port to develop private and public street standards with
features encouraging residents and visitors to park their cars and walk. These standards could
include narrow travel ways, on-street parking, wide sidewalks, and landscaping while ensuring
adequate vehicular and emergency access.
Parking
Research shows that cities are dealing with an oversupply of parking, and parking is expensive
for businesses to build and maintain.1 At auto-oriented developments like malls and big box
stores, a high proportion of parking spaces goes unused much of the time; when compared with
inviting architecture and landscaping, expanses of vacant parking create streetscapes that are
uninviting for pedestrians. By some estimates, a third of all land in some cities is covered by
parking lots.2 A large percentage of land dedicated to automobiles is economically unproductive
– surface parking lots do not generate revenue for businesses. For these reasons, mixed-use
districts and downtowns around the country are requiring or encouraging shared parking and
are setting parking requirements lower to begin with. Some central business districts, including
Pasco, eliminate parking requirements altogether.
The Waterfront Development district code has the following features to reduce parking
requirements and maximize the area available for buildings and public spaces.
Reduced parking requirements as compared with typical low-intensity development.
Incentives for shared parking in the form of allowances for public parking lots and on-
street parking to meet requirements for individual uses, if public spaces are located
within 500 feet.
A 10 percent reduction of parking spaces with the provision of bicycle parking.

Meeting Minutes excerpt from May 21, 2020 Planning Commission
Code Amendment- Waterfront Development District (MF# CA2019-001): Senior Planner
Jacob Gonzalez stated this was a continuation of the public hearing on the proposed creation of
the Waterfront Develop District the applicant is the Port of Pasco. This item has been discussed
with the planning commission at a workshop in September of 2019, and public hearings in
February and March of this year. Staff has had productive discussions with the Port of Pasco
regarding the code its development standards and the compliance with the existing
Comprehensive Plan goals and policies including the Shoreline Master plan and program. The
staff report remains relativity the same but it should be noted that there is one update regarding
the permitted use of private streets. As identified in the attached to the staff report from AHBL,
staff agrees with the concept and the applicability with the Waterfront Development District.
Nicole Stickney with AHBL stated she is presenting on behalf of the Port of Pasco. We
are proposing a new creation of a zoning district in the City of Pasco this will be known
as the Waterfront Development District. Therefore, it will be a new chapter in your
zoning code titled 25 I believe. The intent here is to implement a mixed use of land
designation, which will be forthcoming once the City updates their Comprehensive Plan.
So for a while now the City has been interested in seeing a portion of the waterfront
development there off Osprey Pointe be changed to a mixed-use designation on their land
use map and that this proposal will help implement that.
Gary Below the director of economic development for the Port of Pasco stated that he
supports the planning commission and staff that this has been a long process and I figured
planning commission had really heard enough from me just want to get on record that the
Port of Pasco does support the addition to the zoning code.
Commissioner Jerry Cochran made a motion to close the public hearing on the creation of
the Waterfront District and set June 18, 2020 as the date for deliberations and
recommendation for City Council. Commissioner Able Campos seconded the motion and
motion carried.

any of the items on the agenda.
There were no declarations.
Chair Bowers stated the Planning Commission needed and valued public input explaining it helped
the Commission understand the issues more clearly and allowed for better recommendations to City
Council. Furthermore, in many cases, this could be the only forum for the public to get facts and
opinions placed into the official record and City Council will use to make the Commission’s decision.
She encouraged those present to take full advantage of this opportunity.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Cochran moved to approve the Planning Commission meeting Minutes of
May 21, 2020. Commissioner Campos seconded and the motion carried.
OLD BUSINESS
Code Amendment- Waterfront Development District (MF# CA 2019-001)
Senior Planner Jacob Gonzalez stated that there are no further information on the purposed Waterfront
Development District again this is an initiative sponsored by the Port of Pasco and their efforts to
develop Osprey Point to meet the intent of various planning goals and vision efforts that they have
gone through the past decade or so. Staff would recommend approval of the code amendment per the
motion identified in the staff report.
Commissioner Cochran moved that the Planning Commission recommend to Pasco City
Council the creation of the Waterfront Development District. Commissioner Jordan
seconded and the motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARINGS
Block Grant- 2021 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Allocations (MF# BGAP
2020-003)
Angie Pitman, Block Grant Administrator explained a brief summary of the CDBG block grant
program it was enacted in 1974 by title 1 of the Housing and Community Redevelopment Act (aka
the Cranston-Gonzalez Act) and it rolled eight competitive grants for community development into
one formula grant. The purpose of CDBG is to preserve and develop viable urban communities by
expanding economic opportunities, provide decent housing, and create/sustain a suitable living
environment. The grant program requirements are to have an adopted 5-year consolidated plan that
was adopted in November 2019, Annual Action Plan Supplement which is the basis for carrying out
annual goals and objectives each program year, at the end of the year than we prepare a consolidated
annual plan evaluation report (CAPER) which evaluates the Annual Action plan performance, and

Acquisition
I.REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Resolution
II.ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III.FISCAL IMPACT:
IV.HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
In the development of public improvements such as; parks and park improvements,
roadways, street widening, improvements, extensions and expansions of city-owned
utilities, or other infrastructure improvements undertaken by the City, the acquisition of
land, right-of-way, or easements is often necessary.
The acquisition of land by local governments is regulated in numerous ways; U.S. and
State Constitutions and case law, various federal, state and local regulations, and in the
conditioning of certain grants or loans. The specificity of the regulations associated
with these laws and regulations is beyond the scope of this topic, except to say that
there are many requirements and protections to the landowner and to the public to keep
in mind when the government acquires property on behalf of the public.
Typical right-of-way acquisitions required of capital projects may include any or all of
the following, depending on the project:
Partial taking: Private property purchased for the purpose of publicly owned right-of-
way in the form of:
Strip of land: often seen in roadway projects for the construction of a new
Page 25 of 57
roadway connection, roadway widening projects or construction of pedestrian
facilities along existing roadways, usually located adjacent to existing publicly
owned right-of-way.
Corners:improvements, ADA accommodate to retrofit Often needed
roundabouts, larger turn radius as well as traffic signal equipment and signage
upgrades.
Full parcel acquisition: Often used for the construction of lift stations, pump stations,
buildings, parks, or park expansions, pollution control facilities, etc.
Easements: Through this acquisition, the public agency gains rights to the land, but the
property ownership remains private and the owner retains use of it, sometimes limited
or conditioned use. Two types of easements typically used in Capital Projects are:
Permanent Easements: Typical for the installation, maintenance and operation
of underground utilities or other improvements. These are usually located along
property lines or across properties.
Temporary easements: allow for construction activity on or across private
land, typically located adjacent to proposed public right-of-way or proposed
permanent easements. These have expiration dates, established for the duration
of the project.
Bigger, less common, projects require more involved right-of-way acquisition, such as
full parcel acquisition and relocation of owners or tenants. This type of acquisition is
not proposed to be covered by the resolution being proposed tonight.
V.DISCUSSION:
The proposed resolution would delegate limited authority to the City Manager to
perform typical acquisitions, under a Council-approved capital project, as part of the
adopted CIP/approved budget or other budgeted project.
The intent of the proposed resolution is to move projects efficiently, better utilize
council and staff time, and formalize what has been practice for a very long time.
Given the high frequency in which small right-of-way acquisitions are necessary for
the construction of capital projects, and the time sensitiveness of these acquisitions in
the overall development of the projects, staff is recommending that the City Council
adopt the proposed resolution.

I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Resolution
Proposed Amendment for Extension to Interlocal (One Year)
Interlocal Cooperation Agreement - City of Pasco and Mid-Columbia Libraries
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion and Consideration
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
$1,600,000 a to point estimates initial original to contract of Terms continue,
expenditure, billed and paid monthly. The estimate is based upon prior year costs, with
a growth percentage determined at the end of the calendar year. The library is funded
through the Pasco General Fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On June 7, 2010, the City of Pasco entered into an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement
(ILA) with Mid-Columbia Libraries (MCL) to provide library locations and services to
the community. The term of the this current agreement commenced on January 1, 2011
and expires on December 31, 2020.
Contained within the ILA are stipulations on conditions of service, provision of library
materials and staff to serve the community, as well as locations from which the library
will be based. The primary location (Main Branch) is at 120 West Hopkins Street. This
facility is city owned, with MCL operating the use as a library branch, with the City in
charge of maintenance, operations of the facility, and capital improvements. In 2008,
the MCL contributed to the capital improvements of the facility consisting of the
installation of carpet and chair rails, along with painting. For this facility, there is a
Page 29 of 57
shared usage clause wherein the City may use the library for common meeting space as
needed, schedule permitting.
The agreement, also outlines the District agreeing to rent, staff, and maintain a branch
in the western portion of the City, a location currently found at 7525 Wrigley Drive
and has been in operation since April of 2013. The West Pasco Branch is not in a city-
owned facility and the City has no maintenance and operations responsibilities for the
facility.
V. DISCUSSION:
The resolution and amendment attached request a one year extension of the current
ILA, with a new expiration date of December 31, 2021. This proposed extension will
allow sufficient time for each party to examine the tenets of the original agreement,
determine a collective future based upon current trends, explore the potential for shared
facilities, and expansion of services.

FROM: Ken Roske, Police Chief

SUBJECT: Resolution - Interlocal Agreement with Franklin County for Jail Services
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Resolution
Exhibit A - Proposed 2020-2023 Interlocal Agreement
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
The duration of the most recent agreement with Franklin County for Jail Services was
effective January 1, 2016 and expired December 31, 2019. The daily lodging rate per
inmate in the previous agreement was set at $62.00, with no increases throughout the
four-year agreement. In the proposed interlocal agreement, the daily compensation rate
for jail facilities and services will increase 18.18% the first year (2020) with and
additional increase of 5% each year following (2021-2023). The daily compensation
rates are as follows:
2020: $73.27
2021: $76.93
2022: $80.78
2023: $85.17
An analysis of the Interlocal Agreement with Franklin County for Jail Services was
completed to review the costs increases associated with the new agreement and the
impact on the Police Department biennial budget. The booking fee to cover intake-
processing costs remains the same from the previous agreement at $45.00 per inmate.
The data used in the analysis included the number of City of Pasco prisoners housed by
Franklin County Jail in 2019. The budget impact in dollars could be estimated as an
increase of $156,432 for 2020, and additional increases of $50,845 for 2021, $53,387
for 2022 and $56,056 for 2023. These figures assume the lodging days and number of
Page 45 of 57
prisoners booked into Franklin County Jail remain comparable to 2019.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City of Pasco has utilized the Franklin County Jail for the use of their facilities and
services for City Prisoners for a number of years. The current agreement for the use of
jail facilities ended December 31, 2019. Since the close of the agreement staff, along
with the City Attorney, have corresponded and negotiated the proposed interlocal
agreement with Franklin County. This interlocal agreement outlines what the City shall
pay the County as compensation for the use of jail facilities and services by contract
year, as well as specifications for medical costs and treatment procedures.
An in depth review from the City's legal team and their correspondence with legal
representatives with Franklin County revealed multiple language changes within the
proposed agreement. The most substantive language changes are related to the medical
cost and treatment to include language on the transportation of a prisoner.
Section 6, of the proposed Interlocal Agreement for Jail Services with Franklin County,
includes revised language that will allow the County authorization to provide outside
emergency medical care to the City prisoner with only notification to the City.
Language was removed from the previous contract that required the county to “obtain
City authorization” or “Police Chief’s authorization” regarding cases of medical
emergency. The following new substantive language was added in this section to
include, “The City shall not be responsible for medical expenses resulting from injuries
incurred during the course of a City Prisoner’s incarceration related to the intentional
tort or criminal conduct of another.”
In comparison to the previous interlocal agreement, an additional chang e to the benefit
of the City includes the redefinition of prisoner transportation. The current proposed
agreement changes the definition of the City's responsibility for costs from “outside the
Jail” to “outside the local area (Tri-Cities).” These are substantive as they redefine
which transportation costs the City agrees to repay the County. In the previous
agreement, the City would be responsible for any transportation costs outside the Jail
and now the City will only be responsible for transportation costs outside of the Tri-
Cities area.
V. DISCUSSION:
Subject to Council discussion, staff will be bringing this item back with a
recommendation for approval at the October 5 regular meeting.

THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into by and between FRANKLIN COUNTY, a
political subdivision of the State of Washington (hereinafter “County”) and the City of
PASCO, WASHINGTON, a municipal corporation (hereinafter “City”).
For and in consideration of the conditions, covenants, and agreements contained herein
the parties agree as follows:
1. PURPOSE
The City, desiring to utilize Franklin County Jail (hereinafter “jail”) facilities and
services, for the incarceration of City prisoners, in accordance with the Interlocal
Cooperation Act (Chapter 39.34 RCW) and the City and County Jails Act

use of the County jail facility and services for confinement of City prisoners. It is
the purpose of this agreement to provide for the joint use by the parties of the jail
facilities and services at the jail located at the Franklin County Justice Center.
2. DEFINITIONS
(a) “Franklin County Custody Budget” shall mean all expenditure items in
such budget.
(b) “City Prisoner” shall mean a person who is booked into the jail pursuant to
an arrest by a City police officer for the commission of a misdemeanor or
gross misdemeanor, which could be booked as a violation of a City
ordinance. For the term of this agreement, should the City choose to
repeal any or all of its ordinance provisions which give rise to potential City
jail time, such action will have no bearing on the computation of City
prisoner days as defined below.
(c) “City Prisoner Day” shall mean any portion of a consecutive 24-hour
period that a City Prisoner is in the custody at the County jail and shall
include when a City Prisoner is only booked and released, as calculated
using Intergraph Jail Management System (ILEADS) or Tyler System
methodology for counting jail days. After booking, the total elapsed time
for each visit shall be calculated in minutes. At the time of release, the
number of minutes will be divided by 1440 (the number of minutes in a
day), and the resulting number will be rounded up. For example, if a City
prisoner’s stay is from 8:00 AM on January 1, 2020 to 1:00 PM on January
3, 2020, the total elapsed time would be 3,180 minutes. This is two days
and five hours, and the number of City Prisoner Days would be three.

relationships between the person arrested and one or more members of the
correctional staff.

leave. At such time, and only at such time, will the County have assumed
custody of and responsibility for the person to be confined.

be determined by the sentencing judge. The County shall use all best
efforts to collect the cost of such special program from the City Prisoner,
provided, in the event that a City Prisoner is determined by the sentencing
judge to be indigent, as a matter of law, yet otherwise qualifies for such
home monitoring or other special program and is unable to pay the entire
cost of such special program, the City shall be responsible for the actual
cost of providing such special program not paid by the City Prisoner. The
County shall provide a monthly statement to the City regarding the City’s
obligation for payment for such special programs under this subsection.
