REFERENCE(S): Proposed Ordinance PC Report from September 17, 2020 II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. ____, relating to preliminary plat timeline extensions amendi 21.25.080 Sections PMC ng approved an of “Adjustments preliminary plat" and 21.30.010 "Application," and further, authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: In 2013, the Washington State Legislature amended RCW 58.17.140, extending the time period after preliminary plat approval within which a subdivider has to file for final plat. As part of that legislation, a city or county retains the authority to adopt, by ordinance, procedures to allow extensions of the statutory time period for filing a final plat, such extensions may include “additional or altered conditions and requirements” (RCW 58.17.140(4)). To date, the City has not adopted such an ordinance, without which the statutory time period five (5) years controls the time in which a preliminary plat must be finalized. On September 17, 2020, the Planning Commission met and recommended the City Council adopt the proposed Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) amendment relating to Page 16 of 67 Preliminary Plat Timeline Extensions, and amend Sections 21.25.080 and 21.30.010 of the PMC. On October 12, 2020 Council met in Workshop to discuss the proposed PMC amendment. V. DISCUSSION: Adoption of the proposed ordinance would create an administrative method to allow an extension of up to a single year on filing a final plat is recommended as an important tool in the way of flexibility for platting, particularly as the City looks forward to platting activity in the expanded Urban Growth Area and the challenge of extending major utility systems to serve that area.

REFERENCE(S): Proposed Ordinance - Amending PMC Section 10.65.030, Extended Unauthorized Parking Prohibited II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. ____, amending the PMC Section 10.65.030 "Extended Unauthorized Parking Prohibited" and, further, authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: In 2016, the City Council adopted changes to its parking regulations to address the occurrence of vehicles being stored within the right-of-way for long periods of time and to begin regulating long-term parking issues within neighborhoods throughout the City. Police and Code Enforcement staff have been enforcing these regulations over the past four years. A presentation to Council took place earlier this year to inform Council of the effectiveness of the current code and to discuss possible modifications to improve the effectiveness of the program. As background, potentially unauthorized vehicles (i.e. “abandoned vehicles” or a vehicles parked for extended periods of time) are brought to the Police Department’s attention in one of three ways: Page 26 of 67 1. A citizen complaint via online reporting (TrakIt software). 2. An officer is dispatched to an area based on a call into dispatch. 3. An officer observes a vehicle matching the criteria while on patrol Under the current ordinance the time from identification/confirmation of an enforcement law higher provided removal, ultimate its to vehicle unauthorized priorities do not detract resources from the task, is forty-seven (47) days and includes the following steps: 1. A complaint is received and the officer confirms that the vehicle matches the unauthorized vehicle criteria. The vehicle is tagged with a yellow “Warning Notice” for fourteen (14) days and the wheel positions are chalked on the roadway. 2. The officer returns after fourteen (14) days and if the vehicle has not moved a Parking Citation is issued. This vehicle is now allowed to stay in its current position for an additional thirty (30) days. 3. The officer returns for a third time and if the vehicle still has not moved, it is tagged with a red 72-Hour Police Tow Warning. 4. After the 72 hours has passed from the issuance of the tow warning, the officer will return for a fourth time and if the vehicle is still not moved, the vehicle can then be towed during regular business hours. While the current ordinance was an improvement from prior regulations, the time provisions and ambiguous language in certain areas have been identified by the work- group as the major impediment to effective enforcement of unauthorized vehicles in residential neighborhoods. The 2016 Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) update improved the process for addressing abandoned vehicles or vehicles parked in the right of way for long periods of time, experience has demonstrated that current regulations still require an exorbitant amount of valuable time and effort from a law enforcement officer. Current regulations continue commercial or residential a within to nuisance a allow to remain neighborhood for several weeks unabated, which is disruptive to nearby residents and businesses and in some instances, could cause a traffic or public safety hazard. Additionally, over the past two years staff has seen a rise in unauthorized vehicles on the residential streets. Staff lthe PMC the enforcing with tasked view engthy an which by process unauthorized vehicle may be removed as an impediment to the Council’s intent of ridding City streets of unauthorized vehicles. There have been numerous complaints by residents frustrated with the leniency provided by the current language in terms of corrective action, timeframes, and the ease of which some are working around the parking regulations. A multi-worktechnical disciplined -staff from of the group comprised Police Department, Code Enforcement Division and the City Attorney's Office were tasked Page 27 of 67 with evaluating the current regulations, impediments, reviewing statewide best workThe rulings. applicable and practices court -developed group then recommendations to improve effectiveness, clarity and implementation guidelines for Council review and guidance. Not surprisingly, the work-group identified the length of time required to declare a vehicle a public nuisance as the primary issue in addressing the presence of an unauthorized vehicle. Another hurdle identified is the lack of a definition on how far a vehicle must move in order to qualify for a new time period to be started. The Police Department has found that vehicles are being moved slightly; as little as six (6) inches, and because the definition fortythe missing, is -begins is Staff again. day cycle seven (47) recommending that this issue be resolved by amending PMC subsection 10.65.030(8) to require that the vehicle must be moved a minimum of twenty (20) feet for a duration of forty-eight (48) hours from where the violation occurred. When evaluating the current code, the work-group reviewed parking laws of other municipalities as well as current rulings by the Washington State Supreme Court. The proposed changes to the code are an effort to maintain a quality of life and safety for those who reside in and visit the City of Pasco. The proposed ordinance more appropriately defines unauthorized vehicles that remain on the City as ofefforts enforcement the well timeliness as streets to the Police Department and Code Enforcement Division personnel. The proposed ordinance accomplishes the following: 1. Shortens the overall time of handling abandoned and derelict vehicles in response to Council and citizen concerns. 2. Requires officers to observe the violation in person, not solely by a complaint. 3. Provides direction definitions and clears up ambiguous language. 4. Requires officers to make a reasonable attempt to contact the registered owner before removing a vehicle solely on the basis of it being abandoned. 5. Creates three definitions of vehicles. • "Abandoned vehicle" means any junk vehicle or hulk left within the right-or- way of any public street, highway, alley or way open to the public for a period of twenty-four hours. • "Automobile hulk" or "hulk" or "junk vehicle" means a motor vehicle or remnant or remains thereof which is apparently inoperable and is extensively damaged or missing vital parts or mechanisms. • "Unauthorized vehicle" means a vehicle that is subject to impoundment at the direction of the City after being left unattended in one of the following locations for the indicated period of time: (a) Constituting a traffic hazard (see RCW 46.55.113). Subject to removal immediately. (b) Abandoned and tagged (see RCW 46.55.085). Subject to removal: Page 28 of 67 seventy-two (72) hours after attachment of tag. (c) Vehicles in violation of subsection 4. Subject to removal: seventy-two (72) hours after attachment of tag. Staff first brought this forward for discussion and direction from Council at the February 10, 2020 Workshop and then brought it back for further review at the October 26.2020. V. DISCUSSION: Staff recommends adopting the proposed Ordinance amending PMC Section 10.65.030 related to extended unauthorized parking prohibited.

REFERENCE(S): Resolution & Sole Source Worksheet - Instrumentation System components Resolution & Sole Source Worksheet - Blowers II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ____, approving the purchase of the Instrumentation Wastewater Municipal the for Components from System Hach Treatment Plant. MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ____, approving the purchase of the Single-Stage Centrifugal Turbo Blowers from Sulzer for the Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Instrumentation System Components Package: not to exceed the sum of $300,000 Blowers (2 units): not to exceed the sum of $500,000 Funding source: Low interest loan/revenue bond as part of the WWTP Improvements Phase 1 project funding. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: City is authorized by RCW 39.04.280(1)(a) and RCW 39.04.280(1)(b) to waive competitive bidding of purchases from a sole source supplier and purchases involving special facilities. As background, sole source request worksheets have been prepared and included in this agenda packet. Throughout 2020, City staff and its consultant, Murraysmith, have worked on the Page 33 of 67 design of the proposed upgrades to the City’s Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). These upgrades were earlier identified in the WWTP facility plan (approved by Department of Ecology in 2019), and segregated into two phases to address the near- term capacity needs of the WWTP, to improve the efficiency of design execution, and to better accommodate Ecology’s loan funding application schedule associated with the first phase of work. These sole source requests are for equipment to be installed as part of the proposed Phase I upgrades to the City’s Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Phase I is focused primarily on secondary treatment improvements and in-land outfall piping replacement. Replacement of the in-river outfall and diffuser will be part of a subsequent phase. In evaluating the future equipment needs of the WWTP, the design team considered the potential for efficiency, reliability, compatibility with existing systems and equipment, along with ease of operation and maintenance. When at all possible, a competitive bidding process is preferred to sole sourcing of equipment. However, for some specific items, it was necessary to define in advance requirements of the equipment selected, as in this case the equipment itself will dictate associated infrastructure needs. V. DISCUSSION: Council and City staff discussed this item at the October 26, 2020 Council Workshop. Staff recommends approval of the attached resolutions authorizing acquisition of Sulzer Blowers and Hach Instrumentation System components for upgrades to the City’s Wastewater Treatment Plant.

REFERENCE(S): Proposed Ordinance Overview Maps II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: CONDUCT CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. _______, vacating a portion of East Pueblo Street; and further authorize publication by summary only. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: The owner of CO-Energy (a Connell Oil company), initially submitted a petition to vacate a portion of the E. Pueblo Street right-of-way that extends from N. California Avenue to the centerline of the vacated Montana Street. In the Agenda Report for the May 18, 2020 Council meeting, staff recommended denial of the requested vacation by the City Council for the following reasons: 1. Approval of the vacation would result in the creation of a cul -de-sac at the terminus of the remaining right-of-way exceeding the maximum allowable length of 600 feet; 2. Approval of the vacation may negatively impact the properties abutting the un- vacated portion as additional right-of-way would be required to be dedicated for an adequate IFC-approved turn-around; 3. Proportional public benefit is not foreseen as a result of approval, as a vacation Page 43 of 67 of the limited extent of right-of-way may burden surrounding properties with the requirement to dedicate additional right-of-way for an IFC-approved turn- around. Council decided to continue the hearing to August 3, 2020, and again to September 8, 2020, in order to provide the applicant and staff time to discuss the proposal further with the remaining property owners whose properties also abut E. Pueblo Street. During the ensuing weeks, the applicant had been working with two of the nearby property owners to file tax parcel consolidations that would prevent any parcels from becoming landlocked in the event of a vacation. The applicant and staff were seeking to effect the vacation of the entire extent of E. Pueblo Street from N. California Avenue to N. Utah Avenue. However, one property owner (Parcel #113 -502-031) has expressed opposition and does not intend to file a tax parcel consolidation. A reason had not been provided. At the September Council Meeting - the proposed vacation and public hearing were continued until November 2. V. DISCUSSION: Staff has reached out to the property owner of Parcel #113-502-031 but has not been successful in receiving a response or explanation as to why the property owner is opposed to a tax parcel consolidation. As mentioned above - the entirety of the Pueblo Street right-of-way cannot be vacated, but Staff has requested information from the applicant as to the use and design of the expected business expansion of this site. That - and ongoing discussions with City Departments have resulted in the conclusion that a vacation of the westerly 660 feet of unimproved Pueblo Street can occur with no adverse impacts on emergency response or circulation. Appropriate measures for fire protection will be administered through the project review process for the expected expansion. Per PMC 12.40 the Council may require compensation for vacated right-of-way. The compensation involves obtaining a title report and appraisal of value. However, the compensation and the requirements attached thereto may be waived if one or more of the following conditions apply: 1. The vacation is initiated by the City Council by Resolution No. 3981; 2. The vacation is at the request of the City; 3. The right-of-way to be vacated was previously determined by the City Council not to be essential to public traffic circulation and available for vacation; 4. The grant of substitute public right-of-way which has a value as a right-of-way at least equal to that right-of-way to be vacated; and 5. The resulting benefit to the community of the project requiring the vacation Page 44 of 67 outweighs the appraised value of the right-of-way to be vacated. Pueblo Street has been determined in the Oregon Avenue Circulation Plan, previously adopted by the City Council, to be unnecessary. The Circulation Plan identifies streets that must be retained for proper circulation and streets that may be vacated. Becaus e it has been previously determined that E. Pueblo Street may be vacated, no compensation is recommended. Staff recommends Council's favorable consideration for this street vacation request.

REFERENCE(S): Resolution - 2021 Legislative Priorities II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ____, declaring the City's legislative priorities for the 2021 session of the Washington State Legislature. III. FISCAL IMPACT: N/A IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs (GTHGA) has been contracted to assist in promoting the Council's legislative priorities to the legislature. In doing so GTHGA assists in the development a comprehensive legislative agenda and in furthering that agenda in Olympia by providing on-the-ground (or virtual) presence in Olympia during session, monitoring the legislature throughout the year, and advancing the City's legislative agenda. The City has benefited by maintaining a proactive posture with the legislature regarding the interests of Pasco. One means by which Council has made its concerns and interests known to the legislature, and specifically its legislative delegation, is through the adoption of its City Legislative Priorities Statement. At the October 26 Council Workshop, Briahna Murray, Vice President, and Holly Cocci, Assistant Government Affairs Consultant, of GTHGA presented an overview of the upcoming Washington State Legislative session, which convenes on Monday, January 11. The 2021 session is the first year of the two-year legislative biennium, Page 50 of 67 commonly referred to as the "long" session. The long session focuses on the adoption of the biennial operating, capital, and transportation budgets. Additionally, this session will focus on responding to the economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and, racial and criminal justice reforms arising from recent national dialogue. V. DISCUSSION: The proposed resolution includes the 2021 Legislative Priorities list and reflects recommended modifications by Council, staff and the legislative consultants. Staff requests Council approval of the resolution or further direction for adoption at a later date. Page 51 of 67 Resolution – 2021 Legislative Priorities - 1 RESOLUTION NO. _________ A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON, DECLARING THE CITY’S LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES FOR THE 2021 SESSION OF THE WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE. WHEREAS, the 2021 Legislative Session of the Washington State Legislature commences on January 11, 2021; and WHEREAS, the City of Pasco, as a municipal corporation and subdivision of the State of Washington can be substantially affected by the actions of the Washington State Legislature; and WHEREAS, the City Council has evaluated conditions impacting the City and opportunities to improve the services the City provides to its citizenry; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to identify its legislative priorities for the 2021 Legislative Session so they can be provided to state legislators prior to commencement of the next legislative session. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON: Section 1. That the legislative objectives stated herein constitute the priorities of the City of Pasco for the 2021 Legislative Session.  MARTIN LUTHER KING JR COMMUNITY CENTER: Pasco requests $4 million to renovate MLK Community Center located in East Pasco. Built in 1976, this former school district facility was repurposed as a community center in 1990. The facility lacks ADA accessibility and functionality (physical and technological) as a community center and no longer meets the needs of a diverse and underserved communit y. Proposed improvements include renovation of the gymnasium, demolition of the classrooms and replacement with a new Center building integrated with the gymnasium.  PROCESS WATER REUSE FACILITY: The City is in the process of identifying improvements to the Pasco Process Water Reuse Facility that supports a growing agriculture processing cluster, regional farmers, and approximately 2,000 industry jobs. The City requests $200,000 to conduct and complete value planning with local food processors and other stakeholders to identify innovative, cost-effective and sustainable solutions for improvements that maximize value.  PORT OF PASCO REIMANN INDUSTRIAL CENTER: The Port of Pasco has acquired a 300-acre parcel located between Highway 395 and Railroad Avenue one mile north of Pasco for development as a new industrial center to accommodate current and future demand. The City supports the Port of Pasco’s request for $3.5 million to fund the extension of utilities, roads, and other key infrastructure needed to develop the area. Page 52 of 67 Resolution – 2021 Legislative Priorities - 2  SR 395/OREGON AVENUE OVERLAY: The City requests $3 million to overlay SR 395/Oregon Avenue. WSDOT initially delayed this preservation project until other City improvements to the street were completed. Now that the City improvements are done, WSDOT has delayed their work indefinitely as part of a new department policy to no longer perform maintenance on state highways with a speed limit less than 45 mph.  SR 395/SYLVESTER BIKE/PEDESTRIAN CROSSING: The City requests $4 million for a multimodal crossing over SR 395 at Sylvester Street. No bicycle/pedestrian crossing exists at this location to connect the low-income neighborhoods on the west side of SR 395 to commercial businesses and essential services to the east.  SR 12 SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS: The two at-grade crossings at SR 12 (A Street and Tank Farm Rd.) present immediate access safety concerns for residents and businesses. The City requests funding to identify solutions to address these safety concerns.  MENTAL HEALTH FUNDING: The Pasco community is experiencing increased homelessness, rising crime rates, and other public safety and health concerns. As such, the City requests increased funding for mental health services, including, but not limited to, additional local option tools to best meet the community’s needs. Section 2. The City Manager is hereby directed to inform state legislators and other appropriate parties of the City’s 2021 Legislative Priorities. PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington this 2nd day of November, 2020.

REFERENCE(S): Resolution II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No.______ granting limited authority to the City Manager regarding acquisition of real property and easements, granting of easements over right-of-way relating to private or public development projects, and other matters relating thereto. III. FISCAL IMPACT: None IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: In the development of public improvements such as: parks and park improvements, roadways, street widening, right-of-way 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, as well as 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 to be mindful of when the government acquires property on behalf of the public. Typical acquisitions required of capital projects may include any or all of the following, depending on the project: Page 54 of 67 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 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 typically have expiration dates established for the duration of the project. Larger, less common, projects require more involved acquisitions, such as full parcel acquisition and relocation of owners or tenants. This type of acquisition is not covered by the resolution being proposed tonight. V. DISCUSSION: The proposed resolution will grant 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 resolution is to move the projects along more efficiently, better utilize Council and staff time, and formalize what has been a practice for a very long time. Given the high frequency in which small 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. This item was discussed at Council’s 10/5/2020 Regular Meeting. Page 55 of 67 Based on Council comments, staff reviewed the historical property and easement acquisition costs related to council-approved capital projects. It was determined that 90% of the needed acquisitions cost $150,000 or less. Therefore, the following changes were made to the proposed Resolution: 1. Resolution Title - the words “AND EASEMENTS” were added to reflect the full scope of authority being sought; 2. Section 1 – the authority to acquire real property has been reduced from $300,000 to $150,000; 3. Section 1 – the word “included” was replaced, as related to the adopted Capital Improvement Program, with the word “specified”; 4. Section 3 – the authority to acquire easements was reduced from $300,000 to $150,000; and 5. Section 4 – the words “(excluding access easements per PMC 12.40.010)” were added.
