IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
During a typical legislative session, Pasco City Councilmembers are often
required to travel to Olympia to meet with legislators, provide testimony and
advocate the City’s legislative priorities and other matters. With the COVID -19
pandemic, the legislature has adapted, in part, by conducting much of their
business virtually. While convenient for the public in terms of accessibility, the
virtual nature of the legislative session and the demands on Pasco's legislators
remains high and more demanding than ever.
Briahna Murray and Holly Cocci of Gordon Thomas Honeywell have worked
hard to coordinate the virtual participation of the 9th and 16th District legislators
this evening. The attendance by these legislators at a City Council meeting
during the legislative session is rare, as under normal conditions this would be
a significant logistical and scheduling challenge. The willingness of the
legislators to meet as they are this evening, during session, speaks well of their
desire to hear from local elected officials. As such, this represents a unique
opportunity for the legislators to share with the Council their perspectives at
Page 3 of 61
mid-point of the legislative session and for Councilmembers to do likewise.
V. DISCUSSION:
Ms. Murray and Ms. Cocci will provide an update of the session to date and the
progress relating to the City Council's adopted 2021 Legislative Agenda. After
which each legislator will be provided an opportunity to share their thoughts
about the session and feedback and on the City’s prioritie s. The Council would
then provide comment/questions on issues currently before the legislature.
At this writing, most of the delegation are available for a 30 -minute window
beginning at 7:15 PM. Ms. Murray will facilitate the discussion so Council can
hear from all of the legislators and provide Councilmembers time for comment
and interaction.

THANK YOU & QUESTIONS? Page 8 of 61
City of Pasco
2021 State Legislative Priorities
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 19 90. 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 community. Proposed
improvements include renovation of the gymnasium, demo 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 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.
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 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 to secure 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.

The City of Pasco Supports/Opposes
FINANCE/GENERAL GOVERNMENT
State-Shared Revenues
Pasco receives approximately $1.3 million annually from the state,
categorized as “state-shared revenues.” The City urges the State to preserve
and enhance these revenue streams.
Local Control Pasco opposes any proposals that restrict, mandate, or otherwise interfere
with the city’s ability to make local decisions.
COVID-19 Response Pasco requests that if additional federal funds are allocated to the state to
respond to COVID-19, that a portion of those funds be allocated to cities.
Election of Judges Pasco opposes legislation mandating that part-time municipal court judges
be elected rather than appointed.

transportation system.

epidemic.
Marijuana Laws Pasco supports policies that honor the City’s authority to ban marijuana

LAND USE
Pasco DNR Property
Pasco will continue working collaboratively with DNR to develop the
commercially-zoned properties west of Road 68. Pasco is opposed to DNR
buying land within the City’s UGA and asks that DNR divest itself of the
undeveloped land it currently owns within the UGA.

Page 11 of 61
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Funding for the project will primarily be used for
substantial capital improvements. This will be
enhanced through local matching funds provided
by the City of Pasco.
Our goal is to improve classroom space and ADA
accessibility, both within and surrounding the fac-
ility. In addition to improvements for our youth, the city intends to add neighborhood meet-
ing space as requested by local groups, such as Consejo Latino and Collective Black Voices.
The specific improvements will be driven by a study currently underway, which engages the
neighborhood to determine the look and feel of the facility, programming, and needs for space.
The goal is to have the neighborhood community drive the design and features for a new and
improved facility. Envisioned as a place with technological capabilities to host students who
lack internet at home, a place for growth of the community, maintain free and low-cost athletic
programs for the community, while retaining Headstart programs in the immediate area of need
with safe and modern classrooms.
This project is integral to the City’s enhancement
of connections throughout the community, as
evidenced through the commencement of the
Lewis Street overpass project, which will serve to
bridge this neighborhood with the downtown. A
modern MLK facility will provide a cornerstone
piece to this effort.

SR 12 SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
The City requests $5 million to complete a practical-designed improvement on SR
12 to address urgent safety concerns at the intersections of East A Street and
Sacajawea Park Road (Tank Farm Road). In 2009, WSDOT completed an inter-
change study identifying improvements to these intersections (below). This study
can be used as the basis for completing a practical solutions process to identify the
most appropriate and cost effective improvement.
State Route 12 is a vital agricultural and industrial connection for Pasco and the
surrounding communities. That combined with the existing and future residential
growth in the area creates a freight/passenger vehicle interaction which has result-
ed in a critical safety issue. As development in the area continues, this safety issue
will only worsen.

STATE ROUTE 397/OREGON AVENUE OVERLAY
PROJECT
The City is requesting $3 Million to overlay State Route 397/Oregon Avenue.
This is a critical truck route and agricultural machinery repair corridor for the City of
Pasco, Franklin County, and the surrounding communities.
This overlay was originally a Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) maintenance project that was intended to be completed in conjunction
with a watermain replacement and transportation safety project recently completed
by the City. This overlay preservation effort was delayed until the City work was
completed. The projects are now completed but WSDOT has now removed this
overlay 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 OVERPASS - BIKE AND
PEDESTRAIN ACCESS PROJECT
The City is seeking $4 Million for Improved access across State Route 395 for pe-
destrians and bikes.
There are currently no bicycle or pedestrian facilities on Sylvester Street Overpass
and the existing bridge deck is too narrow and will not allow simple restriping to al-
low for safe access for bicycles or pedestrians. Because of this physical limitation
there is a need to construct a separate structure, either connected or not, to provide
for this pathway.
This overpass is a critical connection for low income neighborhoods on the west
side of State Route 395 to connect to both Schools and essential commercial busi-
ness on the East.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City Council established the Pasco Arts & Culture Commission (PACC)
through Ordinance No. 4472 in November 2019 to advise the City Council on
matters relating to public art and culture; including procurement, placement and
maintenance of public art and to serve as the City’s primary resource in
matters of public art and culture.
Council appointed inaugural members on March 16, 2020 and, on March 23,
2020, Governor Inslee issued a statewide stay-at-home order. Restrictions
extended, public meetings were limited to be held virtually and limited agendas
items to only be necessary and routine. Although the requirement of
"necessary and routine" was relaxed in July 2020, public meetings were
required to remain in virtual format. The PACC held their first m eeting July 22,
2020 virtually.
A new commission faces several challenges; understanding their role as a
Page 16 of 61
commission and as an individual commissioner, developing a work plan, and
building a cohesive team to achieve its mission. All of these challenges are
difficult when meeting in-person however, PACC has worked hard to overcome
all of these while meeting virtually.
Since July, the commission has:
• Organized; selecting a chair and co-chair person
• Developed and approved an initial work plan
• Identified initial projects list that support established City projects that
enhance community identity
• Assigned subcommittees for each identified project
• Received staff and community presentations:
o Sign Code & Murals - September
o Peanuts Park Public Art - October
o STCU Utility Box Wrap Program - November
• Identified opportunity to improve cultural and historical recognition in the
Pasco community
V. DISCUSSION:
Tonight, Chair Barnes will provide the PACC's first presentation to Council on
their work plan and progress as a newly established commission.

2. BUILD COMMUNITY THROUGH ART
As stated in the opening page, PACC’s main objectives are
• beautification of public spaces (community districts/centers)
• celebration of Pasco’s history and diversity in and through art
• enrichment of art education opportunities for our young and young-ish stakeholders
• support services for local artists and art organizations
• creation of an art space (gallery, makerspace)
• establishment of business partnerships to bolster creative enterprise
• enhancement of the City’s image
2a. First Order of Business
As a commission we have a unique opportunity to begin working on four art & culture related projects from
inception.
• Memorial/Tribute to Noburu “Peanuts” Fukuda
• City gateway and park signage
• Kurtzman Park Shelter
• Utility Box Program
2b. Beautification of Public Spaces
According to a 2016 survey, only 44% of Pasco residents found the city’s overall appearance acceptable
which is lower than the national average. That same survey rated positive aspects of community
characteristics - only 36% of residents listed cultural, arts and music activities (below average); 41% listed
social events and activities (below average) and 34% suggested Pasco was a good place to visit (below
average). Overall Pasco receives positive ratings but as an arts commission, PAC has an opportunity to
explore, enhance, facilitate, and promote items that could change resident perception on those respective
areas listed above….
• Public Art Creation
o Identify an overall theme, one that either identifies districts for historic perspective and/or one the
aligns all areas of Pasco as one.
▪ Public Art as 1) Social Awareness and 2) Beautification
▪ Once we have a “road map” of commonalities and differences, we can celebrate both with
a unifying message.
o Location | Identify (in order of priority) areas where public art will make the most significant
impact.
o Artist Engagement |Call to Artists based on objectives
• Prominent District/Neighborhood Markers
o Create artistic and unique neighborhood/district markers or “We are Pasco” markers throughout
the city.
▪ Utilize a geo-cache mechanism for residents to find these markers.
o Create a long-term plan for potential artistic use of public utility items (ie traffic signal control
boxes, public bus benches, roundabouts, etc).
• Address Sign Code or any Municipal Codes that may prohibit public art installations

Pasco Arts & Culture Commission|2020-2021 Work Plan| Final Version – October 2020
2c. Celebration of Pasco’s History + Diversity
The general purpose behind public art is to enrich the community by evoking meaning in a public forum. It’s
meant to inspire higher thought about the community, or thought in general, and can help raise awareness or
give remembrance to events. Pasco has a rich and diverse history and it would be an interesting and
meaningful opportunity to explore ways to celebrate both, examples include….
• Collaborate with the Diversity and Inclusion Committee on possible public art installations or art-related
program.
• Create a Frida Kahlo Blue House-inspired museum to celebrate significant Latin Artists, Writers,
Architects, etc
• Create (or enhance an existing) Oratorical or Art Fest - young people performing poetry, speeches or
creating art pieces inspired by the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and/or Cesar Chavez (Oakland
Oratorical fest as “Best in Show” example) or another leader in championing civil rights for all members
of our community. This could be additive to the MLK Bell-Ringing ceremony already in place.
• Explore other historical references that may inspire public art direction.
2d. Enrichment of Art Education Opportunities for Stakeholders
There are many benefits to supporting arts education in our community…from enhancing creativity to
sharpening critical intellectual skills to providing additional outlets for emotional support, PAC could
endeavor to enrich the arts education experience where necessary.
• Work with Pasco School District for opportunities to showcase current young artist endeavors.
• Engage CBC and/or WSU Tri-Cities for additional art education opportunities.
• Work with health officials to establish Art Therapy criteria.
• Provide resources for continued learning – Mobile Art Stops (example)
• Seek funding resources for improving and expanding K-12 arts education experiences through
organizations like ArtsWA and others.
• Creating opportunities for additional art exposure (media arts, music, theatre, visual arts, literary arts,
etc)
2e. Support Services for Local Artists and Art Organizations
Local artists, art organizations, creatives, designers, crafters, quilters, musicians, poets, wood turners, etc have
the potential to transform Pasco into a more economically diverse, stronger and more vibrant city. PAC can
explore, participate in, and support these artists and their artistic endeavors.
• Artist and Art Organization Directory
• Invitation to Art Organizations to participate in a community “Art Forum” to affirm priorities of
Commission.
• Creation or enhancement of community events to feature these artists and organizations
• Collaborate with City, Chamber or SBA for “business” seminars to help artists learn how to make
money at their craft.
Page 27 of 61
Pasco Arts & Culture Commission|2020-2021 Work Plan| Final Version – October 2020
2f. Creation of an Art Space (gallery, makerspace)
As mentioned in 2d, local artists (of various forms) have the potential to transform Pasco into a more
economically diverse, stronger and more vibrant city. A space – whether it’s a gallery, museum, makerspace
– also has the potential to drive visitors and enhance local resident engagement. PAC can explore
opportunities to create a physical space. Some ideas could include….
• Art Gallery for multiple artists.
• Grants for individual artists seeking storefront opportunities.
• Create a museum open to celebrating the diversity of art and culture in Pasco.
• Create a “makers-space which would be necessary if we ever opt for a “Creative District” distinction.
2g. Establishment of partnerships to bolster creative enterprise
As mentioned in 2d and 2e, local artists (of various forms) have the potential to transform Pasco into a more
economically diverse, stronger and more vibrant city. A space – whether it’s a gallery, museum, makerspace
– also has the potential to drive visitors and enhance local resident engagement. Working with local
government and business to further bolster creative enterprises, creates a trifecta that could make Pasco THE
place in Eastern Washington for art and artisans. PAC can explore opportunities such as….
• Business partnerships for private structure beautification
o Work with local businesses interested in beautifying their private structures through
▪ Ideation Assistance
▪ Artist Match Program
• Artist Wrapping on New Builds
o Work with city and private construction companies to “wrap” work area in local artist “temporary
murals” during construction.
▪ Utilize local artist and local sign company
• Creative District Distinction
• Partnership with entities like the Walla Walla Foundry, Mighty Tieton, Terrain (Spokane), to bring
creative enterprise to Pasco.
• Collaborations with existing businesses in Pasco that are already artistically inclined to create “artist
apprenticeships” (Leggari, welders, sign makers, tattoo artists, etc)

Pasco Arts & Culture Commission|2020-2021 Work Plan| Final Version – October 2020
2h. Enhancement of the City’s Image
If we can successfully implement any of the short and long terms goals set by the commission than we move
towards continued enhancement of Pasco’s image and ultimately assist in making Pasco a great place to live,
raise families and/or retire.
• Creation of an art gallery
• Creation or enhancement of art festival or event
• Public Art Program
• Enhanced Art Education Opportunities
• Opportunity for Creative Enterprises to Thrive
• Community buy-in for creative initiatives that benefit all
• Promote tourism - explore ways to welcome visitors to Pasco, “a community of 200k+ people”.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council February 18, 2021
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Workshop
Meeting: 2/22/21
FROM: Richa Sigdel, Finance Director
Finance
SUBJECT: 2019-2020 Biennium Financial Update
I. REFERENCE(S):
Financial Fund Summary
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
None
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
To further transparency, provide assurance of budget compliance and for
informational purposes, the Council is provided monthly financial updates on
the City's most critical and prominent fund - the General Fund and quarterly
reports on the major funds. Staff is introducing a new report that presents a
summarized biennium activity to further communicate the financial status of the
City to the Council and its residents.
V. DISCUSSION:
Cities are required to keep their financial books open till the 24th of January to
allow for all transactions from the prior year to be recorded. Furthermore, the
State Auditor's Office also sets guidelines on the recording of expenses from
the prior year which results in the City's books staying open for sometimes as
long as six weeks after the year-end. The City of Pasco's goal is to record all
expenses from the prior year by end of January of the new year in order to
allow time for the Finance Department to reconcile accounts, correct errors,
and prepare the financial statements. The department is still in the process of
Page 30 of 61
reconciling accounts and correcting errors. Therefore, the financial report
attached to this agenda report could change slightly, but not significantly, by
the final year-end closeout.
The financial report does not include fund balances that are authorized by
Council during each budget year. The exclusion is to present a clear picture of
funds being received and expended by the City without reliance on reserves.
Staff will provide fund balance trends during the first quarter financial update.
The financial report will show that the City was able to meet and slightly exceed
its budgeted revenue target, while the expenses were lower than the
authorized budget. There are various factors for the expenses being lower than
the authorized budget; timing of capital budgets, strategy to delay purchases
anticipating COVID-19 impacts, and unpredictability of some of our expenses.
Some of the purchases delayed will need to be procured in the next biennium
and others could wait, capital project budget needs will be presented to Council
for approval as the need arises. Expenses related to Capital projects will be
also be presented to Council for approval to be expended in the new biennium.
More than 70% of expense variance is related to the timing of capital projects.
Staff will be presenting Council with carryover requests for Capital projects in
the first week of March.
Staff has spent a considerable amount of time and effort in the stabilization of
the financial system, creation of new reporting tools, and reconfiguration of the
system to provide better fiscal control and access. As staff places these newly
created tools and processes to action, staff anticipates the future budget vs.
actual reports to be even better than the last biennium.

replacement will be selected as provided in this agreement.
3) The City and the District will schedule regular meetings with their
representatives to review the SRO program and address any issues or concerns.

the SRO and shall be that amount determined by negotiated wage agreements between
the City and the Police Officer's Collective Bargaining Unit. Included in the
reimbursement amounts listed below are the 3.44% non-LEOFF employer billings for
DRS in compliance with RCW 41.26.450.

Page 5 of 9
B. Actual amounts are to be determined by the parties based upon any
negotiated wage increase between the City and the police officer's collective bargaining
unit and the officers assigned. The City and the District will share equally the cost of any
training received by the officer that is specific to school resource officer services.
C. Due to early release days and other regularly scheduled non-school days
when an officer's presence is not required for a full eight (8) hours, the City agrees to
provide officers during the school year for activities outside of the regularly scheduled
school assignment. Requests for an officer's presence at school activities outside of the
officer's regularly scheduled school assignment during the school year will be
compensated separately at the estimated rate of $67.75 per hour for 2021-2022, and
$69.11 per hour for 2022-2023.
D. Billing for SRO hours will be dependent upon actual school days with
students on campus. The school district may request SRO presence on a described
campus (see 2.A) for non-student days as needed.

to the District. Payment shall be made to the City according to the regular procedures of the
District.

and hereafter amended. Both shall not, except as they may be specifically allowed by laws to do
so, discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, religion,
marital status, age, creed, Vietnam-Era and Disabled Veterans status, or the presence of any
sensory, mental, or physical handicap.
In the event of non-compliance by either party or refusal to comply with the above
provisions this agreement may be rescinded, canceled, or terminated in whole or in part. The
non-complying party shall, however, be given a reasonable time in which to cure this non-
compliance. Any dispute may be resolved in accordance with the "Disputes" procedure set forth
herein.

danger, the principal may request the law enforcement officer to assist him or her.

administrative reasons, the school principal or designated administrator or District employee will
conduct the search. Once the principal has reason to believe that a crime has been or may be
committed, the principal or other designated administrator shall request the law enforcement
officer to assume responsibility.
To the extent such action does not preclude the officer from executing his/her legal
obligations or jeopardize an ongoing criminal investigation, the building administrator shall have
the responsibility to contact and report to parents and patrons regarding activities and findings of
the law enforcement officer, where appropriate.
11. Indemnification. Each party shall defend, protect and hold harmless the other
party from and against all claims, suits and/or actions arising from any negligent or intentional
act or omission of that party's employees or agents while performing under this Agreement.

mutually amend this agreement. Such amendments shall not be binding unless they are in writing
and signed by the personnel authorized to bind the District and the City.

may terminate this agreement by providing sixty (60) days advance written notification to the
other party of their intent to terminate the agreement. If this agreement is so terminated, the

Sincerely,Marilee Cottrell -A grateful runner
Starting a race in 2020 vs 2019.I recently ran my second “in-person”race during this pandemic.It looked very
different but was still fun.As a race director I know all the hard work that goes into putting on a race.Putting
on a race (now)with the current guidelines takes race directing/planning to the next level of WORK!As I
runner,I greatly appreciate all the planning &thought that went into making this race happen(safely).”
Cable Bridge Run 2020 •They offered a virtual race option AND in-person •They had 2 days to run the in-
person race vs.one day •Only 10 people at the start line in 2 minute waves.Or like me ...I was the only person
at the start line.•They asked people not to gather around the start/finish.I was impressed everyone did
really well at staying in their cars until their start time and leaving after they finished.•Face coverings at the
start &finish •Packet pickup was drive thru at a separate location.…Pasco Recreation Services I give a 10/10
for putting on a race during a pandemic!Thank you for all the extra work to let us race safely!!"Page 53 of 61

SUBJECT: Project Update: Tri City Animal Shelter
I. REFERENCE(S):
Powerpoint Presentation (to be published on day of meeting)
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Discussion on upcoming process for the Animal Shelter
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Total Cost: $4.8-5.8 Million
City Share: $1.6-1.9 Million
Currently Budgeted $2 Million (bond funding)
All Costs based on Concept Estimate
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The current Tri-Cities Animal Shelter is located at 1312 South 18th Avenue,
Pasco WA and has been in operation since the 1950s, with the original building
being constructed in 1950, and a second larger building built in 1975. The
entire complex is located on 1.5 acres, with building square footage exceeding
8,600 square feet. The shelter officially holds 61 dog kennels and 88 cat units,
though many of the units are not to standard.
Through an Interlocal Agreement (ILA) the Cities of Kennewick, Pasco and
Richland form the Tri-Cities Animal Control Authority (ACA), which operates
the shelter and provides animal control enforcement to the three Cities.
Beginning in 2009, the three Cities identified the need and began assessing
options for a new animal shelter to replace the aging shelter through a multi-
jurisdictional committee. Assessment and feasibility were studied, culminating
Page 57 of 61
in a white paper (Pflug Report) in 2015 that identified a number of different
operational scenarios, building sizes, staffing levels, and levels of service to
community. This white paper analyzed the different alternatives for service and
provided direction for the group to make a determination on a site and project
design cost-sharing agreement.
These efforts resulted in a new ILA, which provided for the formation in 2016 of
a Shelter Committee, essentially the City Managers of the three Cities, to begin
working on design and, ultimately, construction of a new shelter.
Preliminary design was completed in 2019 on a site adjacent to Pasco Boothe
Fields cdetailed Street. A However, complex League) (Little along ost
estimates exceeded planning level estimates by an amount prompting the
Shelter Committee and subsequently the partner Cities to reevaluate options.
Based on discussions with each partners' City Councils in February of 2020,
staff began looking into alternatives to service, location, structure, and concept
for a new shelter in order to find a more budget -friendly project for the
collective in the beyond detail reexamined effort. areas Two civic were

In the fall of 2020, Pasco staff presented concepts along with the findings from
discussions with outside, animal related groups. During this time, Pasco City
Council, along with Kennewick City Council voiced support for moving forward
with the plan to construct a revised concept for the shelter on the current site.
The City of Richland requested additional analysis which Pasco staff, as the
Administrative provided. Agency for the Animal Control Authority,
Subsequently, the City of Richland has officially offered their concurrence with
the plan to construct a new Tri-Cities Animal Shelter facility consistent with the
proposal presented to the three City Councils.
V. DISCUSSION:
Staff will present an analysis of the activities since the la st Pasco City Council
update in October 2020 and will outline the upcoming steps and timeline for the
project.
