LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL
June 22, 2021
Honorable Mayor, Members of the City Council, Pasco Community Members and interested
parties,
We are pleased to submit the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the City of Pasco for
the year ending December 31, 2020.
State statute and debt covenants require the City to issue an audited Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report annually. This report consists of management’s representation concerning the
finances of the City of Pasco. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the
completeness and reliability of the information within the report. In order to provide a basis for
making these representations, management has established a comprehensive internal control
framework designed to protect the government’s assets from loss, theft or misuse and to compile
reliable information for the preparation of the City’s Financial Statements in conformity with
Generally Accepted Accounting Practices (GAAP). Because the cost of internal controls should not
outweigh the benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls are designed to
provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance that the Financial Statements will be free from
material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief,
this Financial Report is complete and reliable in all material respects.
The City’s Financial Statements have been audited by the State’s Auditor’s Office (SAO). The goal
of the SAO audit is to provide reasonable third-party assurance that the financial statements of
the City for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 consisted of one material misstatement where
City erred in calculation of major fund and hence misclassified two funds as minor fund instead
of a major fund. The misclassification did not result in over or under statement of expenses, but
simply categorization in a manner different than prescribed as per GASB 34. City has implemented
an annual report software to prepare future financial reports and forgo its long reliance on
complicate spreadsheets prone to errors. The independent audit involved examining on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements; assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management; and evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. Except for the misclassification of funds, the independent
auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
10
unqualified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ending December 31,
2019 are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP.
In addition to the independent financial statement audit for the year ending December 31, 2019,
the City underwent a Single Audit. This is mandated for agencies expending federal grant funds
in excess of $500,000 during the year, which the City did. The standards governing Single Audit
engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the
financial statements, but also on the audited government’s internal controls and compliance with
legal requirements, with special emphasis on internal controls and legal requirements involving
the administration of federal awards.
GAAP requires that management provide a narrative introduction, overview and analysis to
accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis
(MD&A). This letter of transmittal complements the MD&A and the two should be read in concert.
The City of Pasco’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent
auditors.
PROFILE OF THE CITY OF PASCO
The City of Pasco is located in Franklin County, in south-central Washington. This area is also
known as the Mid-Columbia region of the Pacific Northwest. The City encompasses
approximately 34 square miles, serves as the Franklin County seat, and is the largest City in the
County. Pasco, along with the neighboring cities of Richland and Kennewick, which are in Benton
County, make up the Tri-Cities Metropolitan Area, the fourth largest urban area in Washington
State.
Pasco has experienced rapid residential growth in the 21st century, growing from a population of
32,066 in 2000 to an estimated 77,100 in 2020. The City is projected to exceed a population of
over 124,000 in the next 20 years, and is rated among the best places to invest, live, and seek
employment.
Initially established in 1884, the City was incorporated in 1891 and has operated under State laws
applicable to a code city with a Council/Manager form of government since May 5, 1964. The
City Manager is appointed by the City Council and is responsible to the City Council for the
proper administration of all City operations. The City Council is comprised of seven members, six
elected by district, one elected at-large, with one of the seven selected by the members to serve
as Mayor for a two-year term. Council members are part-time elected officials who exercise
legislative authority and determine matters of policy for the City.
The City is a general-purpose government and provides the full range of municipal services
authorized by State law. These services include police and fire protection, ambulance service,
parks and recreation activities, street maintenance and construction, current and long-range
planning and zoning, and general administrative services. The City owns and operates a
water/sewer system, a cemetery, a championship golf course and a baseball stadium that is leased
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
11
to a Class A minor league baseball team, the Dust Devils, who are affiliated with the San Diego
Padres.
The City adopted its first biennial budget in 2018 for 2019-2020 biennium. The Council is required
to adopt an initial budget for the biennium no later than December 31st preceding the beginning
of the fiscal year on January 1st. The City of Pasco maintains budgetary controls to ensure
compliance with legal provisions embodied in the budget. All activities are appropriated through
the budget process and published in the City’s Budget document. The City Council must adopt an
ordinance to increase or decrease total appropriations in a fund.
In 2019, the City received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from GFOA for its
2019/2020 biennial budget document. To qualify for the Distinguished Budget Presentation
Award, the City’s budget document was judged to be proficient in several categories, including
as a policy document, a financial plan, an operation guide, and a communications device.
LOCAL ECONOMY
The Tri-Cities is the fastest growing community in the state of Washington. The current population
estimate over 302,000, making it the 3rd largest in Washington State. Franklin County accounts
for 96,760 of the total Tri-Cities area population. A once small, quiet Central Washington town
on the banks of the Columbia, Pasco has experienced rapid growth over a prolonged period of
time that has transformed the City into a dynamic and vibrant community of over 75,000 people;
well within the top 20 most populated cities in the State. The Pasco of today is a regional hub of
commerce with a diverse population, and quickly rising education levels and household incomes.
The City’s economy is largely based on agriculture and related food processing, manufacturing,
retail, and transportation.
The region’s economy is anchored in agribusiness, food processing, manufacturing, research and
development, specialized services, production technology, government, and healthcare.
Agribusiness
The area produces bountiful harvests with a rich variety of crops. Climate, soil, experience, and
sophisticated technology all contribute to this outcome. Pasco is among the most important
production centers for tree fruit, wine grapes, sweet corn, potatoes and hay in the state. With
easy access to diverse and high-quality products, supporting infrastructure, and a robust
transportation network, food processing has become a major factor in the area’s economy.
Franklin County placed 48th in the United States on the value of agricultural product.
The City’s Process Water Reuse Facility (PWRF) was designed and developed specifically for the
food processing industry. Constructed in 1995, the facility provides food processors the unique
advantage of providing wastewater disposal via land application rather than through the
municipal wastewater collection and treatment systems. The PWRF was developed jointly by the
City, Port of Pasco and Franklin County Public Utility District. This system pumps the produce
wash water from the processors into large storage ponds where it is treated and then land applied
to irrigate crops. These storage ponds allow processors to operate year-round. Since completion,
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
12
the operation has expanded to include several large food processors such as J.R Simplot, Pasco
Processing, Reser’s Fine Foods, Twin City Foods, and Freeze Pack. The City is currently planning
to expand capacity for current and new processors. Furthermore, in 2020, Port of Pasco
announced plans for a new 300-acre property to attract heavy industrial development to attract
more food processors and new industry targets. Phase 1 of the construction is scheduled to start
on spring of 2021.
Government
A major catalyst for the growth of the Tri-Cities in the 1970’s was the expansion of the Hanford
Nuclear Reservation, which has evolved into one of the largest nuclear industrial centers in the
United States. Located in Benton County, the Hanford Reservation encompasses approximately
560 square miles and contains various nuclear and nuclear-related projects, serving as a national
energy resource center. Today, the focus is on energy research, environmental remediation/waste
management and related technology. A 40-year Tri-Party Agreement was signed by the U.S.
Department of Energy, the State and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which established
a plan to “cleanup” the environment of the Hanford Reservation. The plan is intended to improve
radioactive and chemical waste disposal and to manage future waste generated at the site. The
Department of Energy’s Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, located in Richland, is only one
of ten such facilities. Its focus is on using science and technology to meet national priorities. It has
teamed with several local economic development partners to develop and market the region’s
first technology-based research area known as the Tri-Cities Research District. Currently, the
2,875-acre District’s 80+ tenants employ more than 7,000 professional, technical and
administrative staff, many of whom reside in Pasco.
Tourism
The community has diligently focused on diversifying its economic portfolio, including a
commitment to tourism. In 1994, a professional minor league baseball stadium was built. The
stadium seats 4,000 and includes a parking lot for 1,000 automobiles. The stadium is currently
leased to Northwest Baseball Ventures I, LLC, owners of the Tri-City Dust Devils, a single A affiliate
of the San Diego Padres team of Major League Baseball.
In 1995, The HAPO Center, formerly called the TRAC, was built through a joint venture between
the City of Pasco and Franklin County. The HAPO Center has two large exhibition halls, meeting
rooms, a concession area, and administrative offices. Additionally, an adjoining 15-field soccer
complex occupying 45 acres was developed in 1995. The complex is the state’s second largest and
has become a popular location for tournament play. In 2000, the City completed construction of
a $3.5 million six field softball complex in the TRAC area. The push for tourism has been fueled
by the growing popularity of Columbia Valley region wines. Washington State has a robust $4.8
billion wine industry, ranking it second nationally for premium wine production. Known as the
“Heart of Washington Wine Country”, the Columbia Valley region is home to over 200 wineries
within a 60-mile radius, with 50,000 acres of vineyards; making it bigger in area than Napa
Valley. Visitors are coming to the region from all over the country and world to enjoy premium
wines, food, and weather. To meet the growing demand, the City continues to see growth in the
hospitality industry, with a new 99-room Courtyard by Marriott hotel adjacent to the airport
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
13
completed in early 2020. While COVID-19 pandemic has impacted tourism significantly, area is
seeing signs of tourism industry going back to normal by end of 2022.
Healthcare
Lourdes Health Network is located in Pasco and is the fourth largest employer in Franklin County,
with over 800 employees. In 2016, the Hospital celebrated 100 years of responding to the
healthcare needs of the community. It now has 10 locations, housing 24 physician and specialty
clinics. Lourdes Counseling Center is the largest and only inpatient and outpatient behavioral
health service provider in Southeastern Washington.
Kadlec, a regional medical center serving the community since 1944, also serves the region. It is
the second largest employer in the Tri-Cities area, employing over 3,500 workers.
Trios Health, formerly known as Kennewick General Hospital, first started in 1952 as a community
driven effort to establish a Kennewick-based hospital. The organization operates two teaching
hospitals and a network of outpatient specialty practices and services, employing more than 1,200
workers. RCCH Healthcare Partners now manages Trios Health, as well as Lourdes Health
Network.
Transportation and Other
Pasco is also the home of the region’s only international airport, train and bus depots. Tri-Cities
Airport is regional airport served by several airlines, with direct flights to nine major US cities:
Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Mesa, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Seattle. The
local Amtrak station and a Greyhound Bus Station is located in Pasco, connecting the City to the
rest of the country. Additional commercial transportation is also accomplished through extensive
barge traffic on the Columbia and Snake rivers. Rail transport is provided by the BNSF Railway.
The Trucking industry uses Interstate 182, and to a lesser extent U.S. Route 395. This extensive
and diversified transportation network has attracted industrial processors and distribution centers
to the area.
SUMMARY OF CURRENT AND FUTURE ECONOMIC OUTLOOK
The Benton-Franklin County area has experienced rapid and sustained growth which has
outdistanced the growth rates of both Washington State and the United States. This region’s
average growth since the 2010 Census has remained level at 1.8% per annum; comparatively
Washington State and the United States have experienced average growth rates of 1.3% and
0.7%, respectively, during this same period. The Office of Financial Management anticipates the
City to add 50,000 new residents by 2040. The growth trend for Pasco also remains on track,
with a 2020 growth rate of 2.2%.
Pasco continues to attract a young, energetic and diverse workforce. At 30.4, the median age is
7.3 years younger than the statewide average. Most of the City’s labor force and household
incomes are climbing closer to regional and statewide levels, making Pasco an attractive place to
start or relocate families and businesses. A 2017 survey of Pasco area businesses and institutions
(1,000 to 2,000) indicated that 60% have plans to expand locally in the future. There was a
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
14
strong support for public amenities including public markets, cultural facilities, and an accessible
network of paths for walking and biking.
In 2020, the Pasco economy suffered the impacts of the global pandemic. However, stable
economy and well-paying local jobs have helped the area weather the crisis. The City issued 2,930
building permits, an increase of over 6.4% the previous year. This represents approximately $285
million in construction value. Of the total permits, 585 were for new single-family residences,
which equates to $135 million in construction value. The average value of a new home in Pasco
was approximately $320,000 in 2020, an increase of 18% over the prior year. The strength of
the City’s growing economy is confirmed by the Standard & Poor’s rating of the City’s 2019
General Obligation, and most recently, through their rating of the City’s 2020 Utility bond, issue
as AA-/Stable. The City’s ability to maintain its rating during a time of unprecedented economic
certainty and volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic is reflective of the City’s bright long and
short-term economic prospects.
Businesses have continued making a significant investment in Pasco through new or existing
infrastructure. In total, the City received more than $132,000,000 investment in construction for
commercial and industrial purposes, an increase of $34,000,000. Voters have continually
approved school bonds to expand the areas to school system to accommodate growth. The heavy
investment in school infrastructure is indicative of the growth Pasco has sustained and looks to
accommodate in the future, as well as the area’s commitment to providing a well-educated and
technologically adept workforce capable of meeting the future needs of regional, national, as well
as international employers. Pasco School District had accounted for $52,000,000 in commercial
permits in 2019, whereas there were no permits issued for schools in 2020. Future schools are
anticipated to be built in near future.
The City is also home to Columbia Basin College, which provides two-year and four-year degrees
to students in the region. The college held its first classes in 1955, and from the initial enrollment
of 272 students to more than 6,800 students today, it continues to meet the higher education
needs of the community. It started the operation of a student housing building, which provides
45 units to house 125 students: with the goal of building 375 single, double, and quad units in
the future. In 2020, the college was the third largest employer in Franklin County with over 765
employees.
Road 68 Corridor continues to be an important economic activity center for the City. The area
has been growing each year, largely providing retail, restaurant, and accommodation services.
The area provides estimated 1,882 jobs, an increase of 42% since 2015. Preliminary permitting
discussions are underway for another hotel adjacent to the Pasco Sporting Complex and The
HAPO Center, an indication of its growing regional attraction. COVID-19 pandemic has impacted
the tourism and convention industry; however, all indicators show a quick recovery to normal
by end of 2021.
The City is also working with landowners on developing the Broadmoor area, a location central
to the Tri-Cities region and a blank space ready for development. The City extended sewer
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
15
services to the area in the summer of 2019 and has completed the environmental review process
for the master planned development of a two-thousand-acre area encompassing what is known
as the Broadmoor Area. The development plan envisions the area to include a combination of
homes, condominiums, apartments, offices, stores, mixed-use and a transportation system of
bike/pedestrian trails, transit and boulevards focused on connectivity and walkability. Major
retailers like Costco are expected to be serving the residents of Pasco and its neighboring areas.
This is expected to spur significant economic development activity in this area in the near future.

inflows, or net position, at the close of December 31, 2020 by $545,129,459. Of this
amount, $36,205,583 may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to the
citizens and creditors. While not formally restricted, City has assigned $1,230,430 of the
unrestricted fund to future Community Center project.
• The City of Pasco’s total net position improved by $42,768,903. Approximately 67% of
the increase in net position is due to increases in governmental-type activities and 33% is
due to business-type activities. A significant portion of the increase is attributable to capital
grants and contributions received from developers in the form of donated infrastructure,
as well as significant capital projects in progress for governmental and business type
activities.
• Expenses were $19,588,437 greater than the program revenues generated for
governmental activities. Program revenues exceeded expenses by $11,363,497 for business-
type activities.
• As of the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Pasco’s governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $76,931,960. This represents an increase of $6,002,800
in comparison with the prior year.
• At the end of the current fiscal year, the unrestricted, unassigned fund balance for the City’s
General Fund was $25,873,815, which also represents 51% of total General Fund
expenditures. This is an increase of $5,611,190 over prior year, attributable to allocation
of CARES Act grants, minimal economic impact due to COVID-19 pandemic, and modest
increase in expenses due to deferment of activities during the pandemic. Committed fund
balance reported in City’s General Fund was $494,541, which consisted of landfill claims
and surplus revenue from City’s electronic traffic safety cameras (RedFlex). City also sold
its Senior Center in 2016, proceeds of which are assigned to construction of future
Community/Senior Center. Finally, restricted fund balance in the general fund was
$11,153,347, largely due to unspent debt proceeds from City’s 2019 LTGO funds to
relocate two fire stations, build a new animal shelter, and upgrade GESA Stadium. The
funds are expected to be fully expended by end of 2023.

• The City of Pasco’s total net capital assets increased by $37,507,394 during the year ended
December 31, 2020. Majority of the increase can be attributed to investment made in the
City’s infrastructure including parks, facilities, streets, and utility infrastructure. 61% of the
increase in net capital assets are contributable to governmental activities.
• At the end of the December 31, 2020, City’s outstanding debt increased by $14,672,742.
Within the governmental activities, total outstanding debt decreased by $1,481,850, which
reflects principal of $1,330,000 and related annual recognition of premium amortization
of $151,850 on debt obligations. Within business-type activities, total debt increased by
$13,071,274. Debt increased by the addition of new bond proceeds of $16,415,000, plus
a premium tied to the issuance of $1,063,759, the refunding debt to replace two
outstanding bond issues of $7,135,000 and the initial draw against a Public Works Board
loan of $107,221. Outstanding debt decreased with the removal of the face value of the
two refunded bonds totaling, $8,565,000, annual principal payments totaling $2,938,412
and the year’s value of amortization related to bonds outstanding of $146,295.
Overview of the Financial Statements
This discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the City of Pasco’s basic
financial statements. The financial statements are comprised of three components: 1) government-
wide financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements.
This report also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial
statements themselves.
Government-wide Financial Statements. The government-wide financial statements are designed
to provide readers with a broad overview of the City of Pasco’s finances in a manner similar to a
private-sector business. The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the City of
Pasco’s assets and liabilities, with the difference between the two reported as net position. Over
time increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial
position of the City of Pasco is improving or deteriorating.
The statement of activities presents information showing how the government’s net position
changed during the most recent fiscal year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the
underlying event giving rise to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows.
Thus, revenues and expenses are reported in this statement for some items that will only result in
cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
The government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City of Pasco that are
principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (Governmental Activities) from
activities that are supported by fees and charges (Business-Type Activities). The governmental
activities of the City of Pasco include general government, public safety, utilities and environment,
transportation, economic environment, and culture and recreation. The business-type activities of
the City of Pasco include water/sewer (which cover water, sewer, irrigation, process-reuse and
storm water activities), equipment maintenance and equipment replacement services.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
28
Fund Financial Statements. A fund is a grouping of related accounts that are used to maintain
control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City of
Pasco, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City of Pasco can be
divided into three categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds, and fiduciary funds.
Governmental Funds. Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike
the government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-
term inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources
available at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in evaluating a government’s
near-term financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide statements. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the government’s near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statements of
revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City of Pasco maintains thirty-one (31) individual governmental funds including the general
fund. Information is presented separately in the governmental fund balance sheet and in the
governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances for the
general fund, which is a major fund as defined by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
(GASB). In 2020, the General Fund, Ambulance Fund, and the Construction Fund were the only
major governmental funds. LID Fund was categorized as major governmental fund for 2019 due
to construction of Chapel Hill Boulevard funded by LID bond. The fund is not eligible to be
categorized as a major fund in 2020.
Data from the other funds are combined into a single, aggregate presentation. Individual fund
data for each of these non-major governmental funds is provided in the form of Combining
Statements elsewhere in this report.
The City of Pasco adopts a biennial appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary
comparison statement has been provided for the General Fund to demonstrate compliance with
this budget.
Proprietary Funds. The City of Pasco maintains two different types of proprietary funds. Enterprise
funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. The City of Pasco uses an enterprise fund to account for
the water/sewer utility. An internal service fund is an accounting device used to accumulate and
allocate costs internally to the City of Pasco’s various functions. The City of Pasco uses internal
service funds to account for its equipment maintenance and replacement, central stores and
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
29
medical/dental insurance. As the central stores, medical/dental insurance and certain equipment
maintenance and replacement services predominately benefit governmental rather than business-
type functions, they have been included with governmental activities in the government-wide
financial statements.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial
statements, only in more detail. The Enterprise Fund financial statements provide separate
information for the water/sewer fund. Data from the other two Internal Service Funds (equipment
maintenance and equipment replacement of utility equipment) are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation in the basic proprietary fund financial statements.
Fiduciary Funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties
outside the government. Generally, fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government-wide
financial statements because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City of
Pasco’s own programs.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data
provided in the government-wide and fund financial statements.
Government-wide Overall Financial Analysis
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indicator of a government’s financial
position. The net position for governmental and business-type activities is $545,129,459 at the
close of the fiscal year after applying prior period adjustments. Adjustments for prior period
activity, relating to the government wide statement of net position presentation resulted in an
additional $4,176,580 decrease. A discussion of these adjustments can be found under the heading
Note 17: Prior Period Adjustments.
The largest portion of the City of Pasco’s net position $430,038,793 (79%) reflects its investment
in capital assets (e.g., buildings, machinery, equipment, infrastructure, construction in progress)
less any related outstanding debt used to acquire those assets. The City of Pasco uses these capital
assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future
spending. Although the City of Pasco’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related
debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from
other resources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.
$78,885,083 (14.5%) of the City’s net position represents resources that are subject to external
restrictions on how they may be used. The remaining $36,205,583 (6.5%) of unrestricted net
position may be used to meet the government’s ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
Governmental unrestricted fund has increased by $21,277,068 and is largely contributed to
healthy increase in fund balances across governmental funds, including General and Ambulance
Fund. Furthermore, payoff of inter-fund loan for Local Improvement District 150 (LID 150)
contributed increase in unrestricted net position in 2020. Business-type net position decreased by
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
30
$11,348,320. Historically capital revenue was accounted for as restricted asset but was not
presented as restricted net position. 2020 therefore presents net position in accordance with
accounting standard.
At the end of the current fiscal year, the City of Pasco is able to report positive balances in all
three categories of net position, both for the government as a whole, as well as for its separate
governmental and business-type activities. The same held true for the prior fiscal year. However,
Pasco Public Facility District, component unit, reported a negative net position of $29,680 due
to ongoing activity around feasibility study to build an aquatic facility. A ballot measure to be
presented to voters to consider additional sales tax to build and operate the facility is expected
in 2021. Mitigations will be implemented to address fund balance shortfall in correspondence
with the success or failure of the ballot measure.
As mentioned in the financial highlights, the City’s net position increased by $42,768,903, during
the current fiscal year. Much of the increase in the City’s net position was attributable to capital
grants and contributions received from developers in the form of donated infrastructure related
to residential and commercial development, and state and federal grants received for street
construction and improvement projects, and, water and sewer infrastructure improvements, as
well as significant projects in progress throughout City’s different funds. City has been reserving
its fund balance for significant capital projects in transportation, parks, and utilities.

Governmental Activities. Governmental activities increased the City of Pasco’s net position by
$28,684,365 after prior period adjustments. Key elements of the current year’s increase in net
position and changes relative to the prior year follow.
• Program revenues increased by approximately $24,000,000, largely contributable to
capital grants and contributions in the transportation area received from developers in the
form of donated infrastructure. Other increases are attributable Operating grants and
contributions also saw an increase largely due to increase in pension asset and increase
COVID-19 assistance grants from the Federal and State government. Charges for services
decreased by $7,250,000, however, this is due to one-time activity of Local Improvement
District (LID) related revenue in 2019 and should have been classified as a general revenue
rather than charge for service. Charges for services were also impacted by reduction in
revenue from recreational activities due to COVID-19 pandemic.
• Tax revenues are the largest source of revenue within the governmental activities for the
City have been increasing at a steady pace, reflecting a healthy and growing economy.

• Property tax revenue increased by 3.4% in 2020, or by approximately $369,000. This
increase was largely attributable to growth in new construction. City banked its statutorily
authorized increase in property tax rate in 2020.
• Sales tax revenue increased by 6.2% in 2020, or approximately $1,099,000. There is no
one factor to account for this increase, but strong local economy even throughout the
pandemic, growth in economic development within the City, and strong growth in
construction. Marketplace Fairness Act requires out-of-state businesses without a physical
presence in Washington State, but who make sales to Washington consumers, to follow
tax collection laws of Washington State. It is not possible to quantify the impact of this law
yet, but we believe that increase in sales tax was also benefitted by passing of this law and
increase in online sales during the pandemic.
• Utility taxes (B&O Taxes) decreased by 4.4%, mainly due to decrease in electric utility
revenue. Area experienced severe winter conditions during winter of 2019, whereas, by
comparison, winter of 2020 was mild. The decrease could be attributed to this change in
weather patterns. Franklin Public Utility District provides electric services to all Pasco
residents.
• Excise tax revenue, which includes Real Estate Excise Tax (REET), admissions, leasehold,
and gambling tax, reduced by 44.3%, which equates to $2,138,000. This significant
decrease is directly due to COVID-19 pandemic. Closure of venues like casinos and movie
theaters, as well as impacts to real estate transactions during the second and third quarter
of the year impacted the revenue source significantly. Furthermore, 2019 saw a significant
increase in REET revenue and the trend was expected to go down in 2020.
On a full accrual basis, expenses within the governmental activities increased by 36% or
approximately $24,000,000. However, excluding capital outlay, pension, and depreciation
expense, expenses increased by approximately $2,600,000, an increase of 4%.
Significant increases were in the areas of Public Safety based on changes to pension liability,
also Transportation where an accounting estimate change put in place in 2019 resulted in
decrease of depreciation expenses for the year. Transportation expenses for year ending
December 31, 2020 reflects standard depreciation schedule after the implementation of the
2019 accounting estimate change.
Following charts illustrate different component of the City’s revenue from governmental
activities. As illustrated in graph, City’s largest source of revenue is taxes, making up
approximately 36% of the total revenue. Charges for services are another reliable revenue
source for the City, accounting for 24% of the total revenue received by the City to support
governmental activities. Capital and operating grants and contributions made up over 33%
of the revenue. However, it is important to note that this revenue source is impacted by
construction trends, as the chart for 2019 illustrates.

Business-Type Activities. 33% of the increase in the City of Pasco’s net position is related to
business-type activities. In 2020, the business type activities made up 38% of the City’s net
position. The net position for business-type activities has increased by $14,084,0541. This value
represents an improvement to net position in 2020 of 7%. Asset value increased 10% primarily
related to investment in capital investment. Liabilities increased 24%. This increase reflects the
issuance of new bond debt that was incurred to support investment in the City’s process water
reuse facility. The City increased rates for Water (3%) and Sewer (4%) in 2020. Investment in
aging infrastructure, coupled with investment in new facilities to support anticipated growth has
occurred over the past couple of years. This effort continued in 2020 and is reflected in City’s
2020-2025 Capital Improvement Plan. Improvements. Funding for the necessary capital
improvements will be provided by a combination of grants, accumulated unrestricted fund
balance, low interest loans, and revenue bonds.

Governmental Funds. The focus of the City of Pasco’s governmental funds is to provide
information on near-term inflows, outflows and balances of spendable resources. Such
information is useful in assessing the City of Pasco financing requirements. In particular, unreserved
fund balance may serve as a useful measure of a government’s net resources available for spending
at the end of the fiscal year.
For the period ended on December 31, 2020, the City of Pasco governmental funds reported
combined ending fund balances of $76,931,960, which is an increase of $6,002,530, or 8.5%
from the prior year. Approximately 34% of this total amount, $25,315,988 constitutes unassigned
fund balance, which is available for spending at the government’s discretion.
The General Fund is the chief operating fund of the City of Pasco. At the end of 2020, unassigned
fund balance of the General Fund was $25,873,815. As a measure of the General Fund’s liquidity,
it may be useful to compare unrestricted, unassigned fund balance to total expenditures. This
represents 52.0% of total expenditures.
The overall fund balance of the City of Pasco’s General Fund decreased during 2020 by
$2,499,346. This total includes unspent bond proceeds of $9,959,062. Strong sales tax other
growth-related revenues, as well as infusion of federal government gaming taxes improved the
funds financial standing. Overall revenues increased by $2,651,121 (4.8%) and total expenditures
increased by $2,543,791(5.3%). General Fund tax revenues decreased by $33,242 (0.1%), mainly
due to reduction in utility taxes (weather factor) and significant reduction in gaming and
admissions taxes (COVID-19 pandemic). Property taxes increased approximately $368,511 (3.4%)
due to new construction and steady valuations. It is important to note that property sales tax
increased by 28.1% in the last reporting period, due to Council utilizing banked capacity for
property taxes. Sales taxes increased by $1,099,423 (6.2%) with the continued steady economic
activity despite the pandemic. The growth in sales tax revenue in the last reporting period was
6.3%. The City added an Application Specialist, and a Deputy Court Clerk to the General Fund
position during the 2021-2022 biennial budget adoption.
The General Fund revenues of $58,400,297 exceeded expenditures of $50,124,151, or by
$8,276,146 before transfers in/out. Transfers in/out net outflow was $11,075,916, mainly related
to construction of two new fire stations.
Proprietary Funds. The City of Pasco enterprise funds provide the same type of information found
in the government-wide financial statements. The activity of the Water/Sewer Utility, a major
fund, is separately stated from that of the internal service funds. Unrestricted net position of the
Utility Fund at the end of 2020 was $9,491,278. A working capital ratio is the value of current
assets less current liabilities and is a measure of liquidity for the utility to meet its short-term
payment obligations. At the end of 2020, the utility is well positioned as it has current assets of
$46,355,743 available to meet its current liability obligations of $6,688,551, resulting in a
working capital ratio of 6.93. The increase in current assets is impacted by unspent bond proceeds
and fees collected for new service areas. The total value of these funds is anticipated to be used
in 2021 to support capital improvements. Exclusive of capital related activity, current assets
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
36
increased by the virtue of an improved cash balance and a small increase in accounts receivable
at year end. Current liabilities increased slightly as compared to year end 2019. Primarily, this
increase was a reflection of an increase to the coming year’s debt service tied to the new bond
issuance. The utility showed a gain before contributions and transfers of $3,770,777 a decrease
of a $5,601,095 over the prior year. While charges for services increased in 2020, the growth in
utility expenses was greater. This increase, however, was largely the reflection of accounting
estimate changes that occurred in 2019. Therefore, the comparison of the two years is not
representative of operational, ongoing costs. Instead, the 2019 value for depreciation was
significantly small and represented a one-time change. For remaining operational expenses, labor
costs were nearly flat, supplies increased by 30% ($491,308) and service expenses by 27%
(2,909,947). Included in the reported labor cost are the impact of changes in compensated
absence and pension liabilities. The offset to the rise or fall of the liabilities as of each year end is
labor expense for the given year. With the accrual impact removed, labor cost of the utility
increased 3.9%. Supplies expense increased primarily as a reflection of more maintenance effort
and the purchase of water rights. Finally, the increase is service expense is tied to consultant
agreements for various plans and studies, a 10% increase in utility taxes that rises with the growth
of revenues recognized, and a large contract that provides for the clearing of sediment from the
Process Water Reuse Facility storage pond. Capital contributions to the fund for year 2020
amounted to $6,809,743. These contributions are tied to service area growth for the utilities and,
as such, must be spent on capital expansion. As mentioned before, the City continues to invest in
new infrastructure to support the growth of its population and address aging infrastructure issues.
General Fund Budgetary Highlights
City of Pasco adopted its first Biennial Budget for 2019-2020 period. The legal level of
appropriation is at the fund level and the authorization is for the true biennial period. The budget
by function is shown to provide information that is more detailed. As required by the Revised
Code of Washington (RCW), City adjusted the budget as necessary. The City remained within
budget, which was its first biennial budget. Unprecedented uncertainty brought upon by COVID-
19 pandemic resulted in underestimation of revenues, while authorized expenses were delayed
until full impact of the pandemic to revenue were known. Furthermore, City’s capital purchases
and projects were delayed due to various factors like Washington State’s Stay Home Stay Healthy
orders, unavailability of raw materials, or slowdown due to COVID-19 safety protocol in place.
Capital Asset and Debt Administration

Economic Factors and Next Year’s Budgets and Rates
In 2020, the Pasco economy was stable and continued to grow. The City issued 2,930 building
permits, an increase of 6.4% from the previous year. This represents approximately
$284,638,000 in construction value. Of the total permits, 539 were for new single-family
residences, which equates to $135,000,000 in construction value. The average value of a new
home in Pasco was approximately $320,000 in 2020, an increase of 18% over the prior year.
The strength of the City’s growing economy is confirmed by the Standard & Poor’s rating the
City’s 2019 General Obligation and most recently through their rating of the City’s 2020 Utility
bond issue as AA-/Stable. The City’s ability to maintain its rating during a time of unprecedented
economic certainty and volatility due to the COVID-19 pandemic is reflective of the City’s bright
long and short-term economic prospects.
Businesses have continued making a significant investment in Pasco through new or existing
infrastructure. In total, the City received more than $132,000,000 investment in construction for
commercial and industrial purposes, an increase of $34,000,000. Voters have continually
approved school bonds to expand the areas to school system to accommodate growth. The heavy
investment in school infrastructure is indicative of the growth Pasco has sustained and looks to
accommodate in the future, as well as the area’s commitment to providing a well-educated and
technologically adept workforce capable of meeting the future needs of regional, national, as well
as international employers. Pasco School District had accounted for $52,000,000 in commercial
permits in 2019, whereas there were no permits issued for schools in 2020. Future schools are
anticipated to be built in near future.
The City is also home to Columbia Basin College, which provides two-year and four-year degrees
to students in the region. The college held its first classes in 1955, and from the initial enrollment
of 272 students to more than 6,800 students today, it continues to meet the higher education
needs of the community. It started the operation of a student housing building, which provides
45 units to house 125 students and has the goal of building 375 single, double, and quad units in
the future. In 2019, the college was the third largest employer in Franklin County with over 760
employees.
Road 68 Corridor continues to be an important economic activity center for the City. The area
has been growing each year, largely providing retail, restaurant, and accommodation services.
The area provides estimated 1,882 jobs, an increase of 42% since 2015. Preliminary permitting
discussions are underway for another hotel adjacent to the Pasco Sporting Complex and The
HAPO Center, an indication of its growing regional attraction. COVID-19 pandemic has impacted
the tourism and convention industry; however, all indications show a quick recovery to normal
by end of 2021.
The City is also working with landowners on developing the Broadmoor area, a location central
to the Tri-Cities region and a blank space ready for development. The City extended sewer
services to the area in the summer of 2019 and has completed the environmental review process
for the master planned development of a two-thousand-acre area encompassing what is known
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
39
as the Broadmoor Area. The development plan envisions the area to include a combination of
homes, condominiums, apartments, offices, stores, mixed-use and a transportation system of
bike/pedestrian trails, transit and boulevards focused on connectivity and walkability. Major
retailers like Costco are expected to be serving the residents of Pasco and its neighboring areas.
This is expected to spur significant economic development activity in this area in the near future.
City’s business-type activities will be impacted significantly by providing utility services to the
residential, commercial, and industrial growth. Large capital projects to repair, maintain, expand,
and build new facilities are planned, including but not limited to the improvement of City’s
Wastewater Treatment Plant, Water Treatment Plan, Process Water Reuse Facility (industrial
wastewater), as well as new water reservoirs. The City has utilized established rate models on a
yearly basis to ensure appropriate revenues are generated to maintain services. New rate study to
revamp the model is planned for 2021. Council has approved rate increases on all utility services
since 2015, however due to hardships created by COVID-19 pandemic, recommended rate
increases might not be feasible.

website at https://www.pasco-wa.gov/1104/2021-2022-Budget .

Notes to the Financial Statements
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements of the City of Pasco have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles (GAAP) as applied to governmental units. The Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) is the accepted standard setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. The significant accounting policies are
described below.
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Pasco was incorporated on May 4, 1891 and operates under the laws of the
state of Washington applicable to a Non-Charter Code City with a Council/Manager form
of government. As required by the generally accepted accounting principles the financial
statements present City of Pasco as a primary government unit. The component unit
discussed below is included in the City reporting entity because of the significance of its
operational relationship with the City of Pasco.
The Pasco Public Facility was created in 2002 pursuant to Chapter 35.57 of the Revised
Code of Washington for the purposes of acquiring, constructing, operating and financing
one or more regional centers through cooperative and joint ventures with the City of
Kennewick. The PFD is discreetly presented in the component unit column in the
government-wide financial statements to emphasize that is a legally separate entity.
Complete separate financial statements for the District may be obtained from the City of
Pasco, P.O. Box 293, Pasco, WA 99301.
B. Basis of Presentation - Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the
statement of activities) report information on all of the non-fiduciary activities of the
primary government and its component unit. For the most part, the effect of inter-fund
activity has been removed from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally
are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for service.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given
function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are
clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Our policy is to allocate indirect
costs to a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers
or applicants who purchase, use, or directly benefit from goods, services, or privileges
provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted
to meeting the operational or capital requirements or a particular function or segment.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
61
Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported
instead as general revenues.
As a general rule the effect of the inter-fund activity has been eliminated from the
government–wide financial statements. Exceptions to this rule include business taxes the
utility pays to the General Fund, activities in internal service funds in which outside parties
are engaged and certain other service functions between funds, that if eliminated may
misrepresent the cost reported for various other functions of the government.
Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds,
and fiduciary funds. Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise
funds are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements.
The City of Pasco reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund: The General (or current expense) Fund is the City of Pasco’s
primary operating fund. It accounts for all financial resources of the general
government, except those required or elected to be accounted for in separate fund.
The Construction Fund: The Construction Fund is a capital project fund used to
account for significant construction and capital acquisition related to governmental
activities.
Ambulance Services Fund: This fund is used to account for all activities related to
providing medical services, including ambulance transports to the residents of the
City. Revenues sources generated from Federal assistance through the Ground
Emergency Medical Transportation Payment program, service fees and ambulance
utility rates.
The City of Pasco reports the following major proprietary fund:
The Water/Sewer Fund: The Water/Sewer Fund accounts for water, sewer, water
reuse, storm water and irrigation utilities activities.
Additionally, the City of Pasco reports the following fund types:
Special Revenue Funds are used to account for specific revenue sources that are
restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditures for a particular purpose.
Debt Services Funds are used to account for the resources accumulated and
payments made for principal and interest on long–term general obligation debt of
governmental funds. These funds include the Local Improvement Districts (LID)
Guarantee Fund which provides financial security for outstanding LID bonds.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
62
Permanent Funds are used to report resources that are legally restricted to the extent
that only earnings, not principal, may be used for purposes of supporting a specific
City program. The City has one permanent fund, Cemetery Perpetual Care Fund.
Internal Service Funds are used to account for equipment replacement and
operations, central stores, as well as medical/dental insurance services provided to
other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis.
Pension Trust Funds are used to account for the sources and uses of funds to meet
the pension benefit and other post-employment benefit obligations made to
firemen covered under the Plan prior to the creation of the Law Enforcement
Officers and Fire Fighters’ (LEOFF) pension system in 1970.
Custodial Funds are used to report resources held by the City in a purely custodial
capacity on behalf of the Animal Control Authority and on behalf of the Pasco
Public Facility District.
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting
Government-wide Financial Statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund and
fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property
taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar
items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met.
Governmental Fund Financial Statement statements are reported using the current financial
resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are
considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon
enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the City
considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the
current fiscal period. The City considers property taxes as available if they are collected
within 60 days after year end. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is
incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as
expenditures related to compensated absences and claims, and judgements are recorded
only when payment is due.
Property taxes, licenses, and interest associated within the current period are all considered
to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current period.
Only the portion of special assessment receivable due within the current fiscal period is
considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue
items are considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the
City.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
63
Proprietary Fund Financial Statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and full-accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred regardless of the timing of
the cash flows. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non-
operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services
and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund’s principal
ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Water/Sewer Fund are charges
to customers. The major services provided by the proprietary fund are water, sewer, storm
drain, irrigation and industrial wastewater processing. Operating expenses for enterprise
funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and services, administrative
expenses, and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not meeting this
definition are reported as non-operating revenues and expenses.
D. Budgetary Information
1. Scope of Budget
Biennial appropriated budgets are adopted for the General Fund and special revenue
funds on a modified accrual basis. Budgets for debt service and capital project funds are
adopted at the level of the individual debt issue or project and for fiscal periods that
correspond to the lives of debt issues or project and for fiscal periods that correspond
to the lives of debt issues or projects. The City also adopts appropriated budgets for
proprietary and internal service funds as “management budgets”. All budgets are
adopted at the fund level.
Appropriations for all funds lapse at the end of the biennium. Budgets for capital
outlays are re-appropriated until the purpose of the appropriation has been
accomplished or abandoned.
2. Amending the Budget
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within the funds.
However, any revisions that alter the total appropriations of a fund, or which affects
the number of authorized employee positions, salary ranges, hours, or other conditions
of employment must be approved by the City Council.
When City Council determines it is in the best interest of the City of Pasco to increase
or decrease the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance
approved by one more than the majority after holding public hearing(s).
The budget amounts shown in the financial statements are the final authorized amounts
as revised during the year.
The financial statements contain the original and final budget information. The original
budget is the first complete appropriated budget. The final budget is the original budget
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
64
adjusted by all reserves, transfers, allocations, supplemental appropriations, and other
legally authorized changes applicable for the fiscal year.
Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations
Neither the General Fund, nor any major special revenue funds, reported expenditures
in excess of budgeted appropriation.
Deficit Fund Net Position
The LID Loan Fund a debt service fund of the City, ended the year with a negative fund
balance of ($701,174). The negative fund balance is a result of required accounting
practices. Previously most LID’s were financed with a bond issue which is not reflected
on the balance sheet of the governmental fund. The current LID’s are financed with
inter-fund loans which are recorded as a loan payable on the balance sheet. Since GASB
requires future principal payments to be recorded as deferred inflows on the balance
sheet. Both items are recorded on the liability side of the balance sheet with only the
LID assessments receivable on the asset side. The result is almost always a negative net
position for the fund. The deficit fund balance will be corrected as the loans are paid
off.
The Rivershore Trail & Marina Maintenance Fund, a nonmajor special revenue fund of
the City, ended the year with a negative fund balance of ($48,278). The negative fund
balance is a result of the need to rebuild a marina dock due to weather related damage.
There is an outstanding inter-fund loan liability used to fund the repairs.
The Animal Control Fund, a nonmajor special revenue fund of the City, ended the year
with a negative fund balance of ($47,980). The negative fund balance is a result of
operation expenses exceeding revenues.
E. Assets, Liabilities, Deferred Inflows, Deferred Outflows, Fund Balance/Net Position
1. Cash and Cash Equivalents
It is the City’s policy to invest temporary cash surpluses. As of December 31, 2020, the
City had invested $ 58,052,273 with the Washington State Local Government
Investment Pool (LGIP). These investments are short-term investments of residual cash.
This amount is classified on the Statement of Net Position as cash and cash equivalents.
The interest earned on these investments is prorated to the various funds based upon
their ownership of invested cash.
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the City considers all highly liquid
investments (including restricted assets) with a maturity of three months or less when
purchased to be cash equivalents.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
65
2. Investments (See Note 3, Deposits and Investments)
3. Receivables

first billing is due April 30 and the second is due October 31. Detailed information on
property tax can be found in Note 4.
Special assessments are levied against certain property owners when their property is
the beneficiary of a City managed project. Based upon each property’s proportional
share of the improvement an assessment is levied. When levied a receivable in
recorded. Special assessments receivable consists of current, and any delinquent,
assessments and related interest and penalties. As of December 31, 2020, $83,528 of
special assessments receivable were delinquent.
Customer accounts receivables consist of amounts owed from private individuals or
organizations for goods and services, including amounts owed for which billings have
not been prepared. Uncollectible amounts, except in two instances, are considered
immaterial and the direct write-off method is used. The exceptions are in the
Ambulance Fund and Revolving Abatement Fund. An allowance is calculated based on
historical write-offs. The total allowance recorded citywide as of December 31, 2020 is
$179,929.
Other receivables include municipal court receivables related to legal fines and charges
and amounts due the City related to organizations or public entities with which the
City has entered contractual relationships. The municipal court receivable is
$11,086,230 of which $10,328,222 is not expected to be collected. Only the net
receivable of $758,009 is recorded in the financial statements. The portion that is
calculated as uncollectible is based upon the year’s collection rate. Of the receivables
derive based upon contractual relationships they are the result of the provision of
working funds or activity that created revenues that the City had not received as of
yearend 2020.
4. Amounts Due to and from Other Governments, Inter-fund Loans and Advances
Receivable
Activities between funds that are representative of lending/borrowing arrangements
outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either inter-fund loans
receivable/payable or advances to/from other funds. All other outstanding balances
between funds are reported as due to/from other funds. Any residual balances
outstanding between the governmental activities and business-type activities are
reported in the government-wide financial statements as internal balances. A separate
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
66
schedule of inter-fund loans receivable and payable is furnished in Note 6, Inter-fund
Balances and Transfers.
Advances between funds, as reported in the fund financial statements, are offset by a
fund balance reserve account in applicable governmental funds to indicate that they
are not available for appropriation and are not expendable available financial
resources.
5. Inventories
Inventories in governmental funds consist of expendable supplies held for consumption.
The cost is recorded as an expenditure at the time purchase. There are currently no
inventories in governmental funds. Inventories in proprietary funds consist of materials
and supplies used in both maintenance and capital activities. Inventories in proprietary
funds are valued using a last in first out (LIFO) method.
6. Restricted Assets and Liabilities
In accordance with utility bond ordinances, state law, or other agreements, separate
restricted assets have been established. These accounts contain resources for
construction and debt service, including current and delinquent special assessments
receivable, in enterprise funds. The current portion of related liabilities is shown as
Payables from Current Restricted Assets. Specific debt service reserve requirements are
described in Note 8, Long-Term Debt.
The restricted assets of the enterprise funds are composed of the following:
7. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, and equipment and infrastructure assets,
are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type columns in the
government-wide financial statements. Capital assets, other than infrastructure, are
defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $5,000 and
an estimated useful life in excess of two years. Useful life estimates are periodically
reassessed and adjusted based on actual experience and/or asset condition assessments.
See Note 5, Capital Assets and CWIP for details on changes to useful life and

depreciation. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if
purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at
the date of donation.
The City reports infrastructure assets on a network and subsystem basis. Such assets are
recorded at historical cost if purchased or constructed. Additions, improvements and
other capital outlays that significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized.
The cost of normal maintenance and repairs and street preservation activities that do
not add to the value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized.
Assets are depreciated over their useful lives using the straight-line depreciation method.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are reported as Construction Work
in Progress as projects are constructed. Interest, if material to the cost of the asset that
is incurred during the construction phase of the capital assets of business-type activities
is included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. Capital Assets and
improvements are capitalized once the project is completed.
Capitalization thresholds, the dollar value above which an asset acquisitions are added
to the capital asset accounts and estimated useful lives of capital assets are as follows:
8. Deferred Outflows/Inflows of Resources
In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that
applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources
(expense/expenditure) until then.
In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a
separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement
element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that
applies to a future period(s) and will not be recognized as an inflow of resources
(revenue) until that time.
The City has one type of item, unavailable revenues which arises only under a modified
accrual basis of accounting, which qualifies as a deferred inflow. Unavailable revenue

is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds
report unavailable revenues for 2020 as follows:
a. Uncollected property taxes levied.
b. Unbilled special assessments levied against benefited property for the cost of local
improvements. An allowance for uncollectible accounts is not necessary since the
assessments are liens against the property benefited.
c. Rain checks and gift certificates issued by the golf course and certain headstones and
liner sales by the cemetery which obligate the City to future services.
d. CDBG Loans Unbilled Principal.
e. Uncollected Municipal Court Fines outstanding.
In addition to unavailable revenues, changes in pension assumptions and calculation
variables also create deferred inflows and deferred outflows. These are reported in the
enterprise funds and at the government wide level in the Statement of Net Position.
9. Compensated Absences
The City accrues accumulated unpaid vacation and sick leave and associated employee
related costs when earned (or estimated to be earned) by the employee. All vacation
and sick pay are accrued when incurred in the government-wide, proprietary, and
fiduciary fund financial statements. In governmental funds, such amounts are not
accrued using the modified accrual basis of accounting but are reported as a liability in
the government-wide financial statements.
a. Citywide, excluding Firefighters and Police
Sick leave may be accumulated up to a maximum of 960 hours for all employees
except firefighters and police. Upon resignation, retirement or death; sick leave is
payable at a rate of 25% of accrued hours up to a maximum accrual base of 720
hours. Vacation leave may be accumulated up to a maximum of one and a half
times the employee’s annual vacation accrual rate and is payable upon resignation,
retirement or death.
b. Firefighters
Sick leave may be accumulated up to a maximum of 1,440 hours. For firefighters
with less than 20 years of service with the City, sick leave is payable at a rate of
25% of accrued hours up to a maximum accrual base of 840 hours, upon
resignation, retirement or death. For firefighters with 20 years or more of service
with the City, sick leave is payable at a rate of 50% of accrued hours up to a
maximum accrual base of 840 hours. Vacation leave may be accumulated up to a
maximum of two times the employee’s annual vacation accrual rate and is payable
upon resignation, retirement or death.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
69
c. Police
Sick leave may be accumulated up to a maximum of 1,200. Upon resignation or
death, sick leave is payable at a rate of 25% of accrued hours up to a maximum
accrual base of 720 hours. Upon retirement, sick leave is payable at a rate of 35%
up to a maximum of 1,200 hours. Vacation leave may be accumulated up to a
maximum of two times the employee’s annual vacation accrual rate and is payable
upon resignation, retirement or death.
10. Pensions and OPEB
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability or asset, deferred outflows of
resources and deferred inflows of resources related to pensions, and pension expense,
information about the fiduciary net position of all state sponsored pension plans and
additions to/deductions from those plans’ fiduciary net position have been determined
on the same basis as they are reported by the Washington State Department of
Retirement Systems. For this purpose, benefit payments (including refunds of employee
contributions) are recognized when due and payable in accordance with the benefit
terms. Investments are reported at fair value.
For purposes of measuring the net pension liability, deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to pension, and pension expense information
about the fiduciary net position of the City's Old Firemen’s Pension Fund — 610 (the
Plan) and additions to/deductions from the Plan's fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the
Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit
terms.
For purposes of measuring the total OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense information about
the fiduciary net position of the City's LEOFF 1 Retiree Health Benefits Plan (the Plan)
and additions to/deductions from the Plan's fiduciary net position have been
determined on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the
Plan recognizes benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit
terms.
For purposes of measuring the net OPEB liability, deferred outflows of resources and
deferred inflows of resources related to OPEB, and OPEB expense information about
the fiduciary net position of the City's Old Firemen’s Pension Fund (the Plan) and
additions to/deductions from the Plan's fiduciary net position have been determined
on the same basis as they are reported by the Plan. For this purpose, the Plan recognizes
benefit payments when due and payable in accordance with the benefit terms.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
70
11. Long-term Obligations
In the government-wide statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in
the applicable governmental activities, business-type activities, or proprietary fund type
statements of net position.
Bond premiums and discounts when material, are deferred and amortized over the life
of the bonds using the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the
applicable bond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums
and discounts, as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face
amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on
debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs, whether or not
withheld from actual debt proceeds received, are reported as professional service costs.
12. Fund Balance and Fund Flow Policies
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the
nature of any limitations requiring the use of resources for specific purposes. The
government itself can establish limitations on the use of resources through either a
commitment (committed fund balance) or an assignment (assigned fund balance).
The committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for
specific purposes determined by formal action of the government’s highest level of
decision-making authority. The City Council is the highest level of decision-making
authority for the government that can, by adoption of an ordinance prior to the end
of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the
ordinance remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another
ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation.
Amounts in the assigned fund balance classification are intended to be used by the
government for specific purposes but do not meet the criteria to be classified as
committed. The council may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating
fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the
subsequent year’s appropriated budget. Unlike commitments, assignments generally
only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to
be taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an
additional action is essential to either remove or revise a commitment.
The City has not adopted a specific flow of funds policy relating to the use of restricted
and unrestricted resources when both are available. Therefore, the statements are
prepared using the default option provided in GASB 54 which provides that when both
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
71
restricted and unrestricted resources are available, restricted resources are used first.
While the City has not formally established a policy for its use of unrestricted fund
balance amounts, committed amounts would be reduced first, followed by assigned
amounts, and then unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes
for which amounts in any of these unrestricted fund balance classifications could be
used.
In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report restrictions of fund balance
as follows:
Non-spendable Fund Balance includes amounts that are not in spendable form such as
inventory or are required to be maintained intact such as the principal of a permanent
fund.
Restricted Fund Balance includes amounts that can be spent only for the specific
purpose stipulated by external resource providers such as for grant providers,
bondholders, higher levels of government, or through enabling legislation.
Committed Fund Balance includes amounts that can be used only for the specific
purposes determined by a formal action of the City Council. Commitments may be
changed or lifted only by the City Council taking the same formal action that imposed
the constraint originally.
Assigned Fund Balance includes amounts intended to be used by the government for
specific purposes. Intent can be expressed by the governing body or by an official
designated by the governing body to which the governing body designates authority.
Unassigned Fund Balance includes the residual classification for the General Fund and
includes all spendable amounts not contained in the other classifications. The General
Fund is the only governmental fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance
amount. In other funds, the unassigned classification will be used only to report a deficit
balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been
restricted, committed, or assigned.

NOTE 3: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
A. Summary of Deposit and Investment Balances
Reconciliation of the City’s deposits and investment balances as of December 31, 2020, is
as follows:
1. Deposits
a. Custodial Credit Risk
Custodial credit risk for deposits is the risk that in the event of a failure of a
depository financial institution, the City would not be able to recover deposits or
will not be able to recover collateral securities that are in possession of an outside
party. The City’s deposits and certificates of deposit are mostly covered by federal
depository insurance (FDIC) or by collateral held in a multiple financial institution
collateral pool administered by the Washington Public Deposit Protection
Commission (WPDPC). The FDIC insures the first $250,000 of the City’s deposits.
The deposit balances over $250,000 are insured by the WPDPC. The City does not
have a deposit policy for custodial credit risk beyond the requirements of state
statute. Washington State law restricts deposit of funds to financial institutions
physically located in Washington unless otherwise expressly permitted by statute
and authorized by the WPDPC. State statute permits additional amounts to be
assessed on a pro rata basis to members of the WPDPC pool in the unlikely event
the pool’s collateral should be insufficient to cover a loss.
2. Investments
It is the City’s policy to invest all temporary cash surpluses. The interest on these
investments is prorated to the various funds. Investments are stated at fair value based
on quoted market prices in accordance with GASB Statement No. 72, Fair Value
Government Wide Fiduciary Funds
Cash on Hand 7,550 -

Measurement and Application. Accordingly, the change in the fair-value of investment
is recognized as an increase or decrease to the investment assets and investment income.
Interest income on investments is recognized in non-operating revenue as earned.
Changes in fair value of investments are recognized on the statements of Revenues,
Expenses, and Changes in Net Position. Investments are subject to the following risks.
a. Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the risk the City may face should interest rate variances affect the
fair value of investments. In accordance with its investment policy, the City manages
its exposure to declines in fair value by limiting the maturity of investments. To
achieve its financial objective of maintaining liquidity to meet all operating
requirements, the City typically selects investments that have shorter average
maturities.
The following table depicts Weighted Average Maturity (WAM) for all City
investments with maturities, by number of months. In addition to the interest rate
risk disclosed below, the City includes investments with fair value highly sensitive
to interest rate changes.

b. Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or other counterparty to an investment will not
fulfill its obligations. State law and the City investment policy limit investments to
those authorized by State Statute. The City of Pasco holds investments in U.S.
Government Agency Securities, the Local Government Investment Pool (LGIP) and
demand deposits at U.S. Bank. The investment policy for “credit risk” does not
extend beyond the types of authorized investments and the concentration of credit
risk described below. As of December 31, 2020, the City’s investments in agency
securities were all rated AAA. The LGIP is not rated and registered with the SEC and
the fair value of the City’s position in the pool is the same as the value of the pool
shares. The LGIP is regulated by the state of Washington’s state finance committee
in accordance with RCW 43.250. Credit risk is limited as most investments are either
obligations of the U.S. Government, government sponsored enterprises, insured
demand deposit accounts or certificates of deposit.
c. Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentration of credit risk is the risk of loss attributed to the magnitude of a
government’s investment in a single issuer. It is the policy of the City to diversify its
investment portfolio to eliminate the risk of loss resulting from overconcentration
of assets in a specific class of securities.
The table below identifies the types of investments, concentration of investments in
any one issuer, and maturities of the City's investment portfolio as of December 31,
2020.

In addition to the City of Pasco investments presented in the series of tables
following this section, the City’s Old Fire Pension and Old Fire OPEB Funds report
the following investments in their Trust Funds:
B. Investments Measured at Fair Value
The City measures and reports investments at fair value using the valuation input hierarchy
established by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: These are quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices
for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other
than quoted prices that are not observable;
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
Safekeeping for the City’s investments is provided by U.S. Bank. U.S. Bank contracts with
Independent Directors Council (IDC) to provide fair market values of investments on a
monthly basis. The pricing methodology varies depending on multiple components,
including if an investment is being actively traded. In depth pricing methodology is
available from IDC.

NOTE 4: PROPERTY TAXES
The County Treasurer acts as an agent to collect property taxes levied in the county for all taxing
authorities. Collections are distributed by the 10th day of the following month.
Property taxes are recorded as a receivable and revenue when levied, offset by deferred revenue.
Property tax collected in advance of the fiscal year to which it applies is recorded as a deferred
inflow and recognized as revenue of the period to which it applies. No allowance for uncollectible
tax is established because delinquent taxes are considered fully collectible. Prior year tax levies
were recorded using the same principle and delinquent taxes are evaluated annually. As of
12/31/20 delinquent taxes totaled $191,905.
The City may levy up to $3.60 per $1,000 of assessed valuation for general governmental services
subject to two limitations:
A. Chapter 84.55.010 of the Revised Code of Washington limits the growth of non-voted
property taxes to the lesser of 1% per year, or the Implicit Price Deflator. Adjustments for
new construction and annexations are excluded from this calculation.
B. The Washington State Constitution limits the total regular property taxes to 1% of assessed
valuation or $10 per $1,000 of value. If the taxes of all districts exceed this amount, each
is proportionately reduced until the total is at or below the 1% limit.
The City’s regular levy for 2020 was $1.8075 per $1,000 on an assessed valuation of
$6,121,229,885. This resulted in a total regular levy of $11,064,358 for 2020. The City did not
levy any taxes for special levies in 2020.
January 1 Taxes are levied and become an enforceable lien against properties.
February 14 Tax bills are mailed.
April 30 First of two equal installment payments is due.
May 31 Assessed value of property established for next year's levy at 100% of market value.
October 31 Second installment is due.

NOTE 7: CHANGES IN LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
A. Changes in long-term liabilities – Governmental
The City liquidates most governmental debt service, pension and OPEB liabilities from the
General Fund. The only debt service not liquidated from the General Fund is debt related
to the Gesa Stadium improvements which is repaid from the Stadium Fund. Compensated
absences are mainly liquidated from General, Street and Ambulance Funds. The fund for
which the liability is incurred is responsible for liquidating the liability. The average
percentage of usage of compensated absences varies significantly between governmental
and business type funds, therefore the City uses a three-year average usage percentage for
projecting compensated absences due within one year. This method is the most accurate
by following the current trend for each type of funds. Internal service funds predominantly
serve the governmental funds, and their long-term liabilities are included as part of the
totals for governmental activities. In 2020 long-term liabilities for internal service funds
included with Governmental activities was $130,258.
The table below reflects the change in Long-Term Liabilities for Governmental activities for
year ended December 31, 2020.
B. Changes in long-term liabilities – Business Type
All business types liquidate their own compensated absences, judgements, and claims. The
table below reflects the change in Long-Term Liabilities for Business Type activities for year
ended December 31, 2020.

NOTE 9: RISK MANAGEMENT
The City of Pasco maintains insurance against most normal hazards except for unemployment and
automobile collision, where it has elected to become self-insured. For unemployment claims, the
City is on a 100% reimbursable program with the State where the City pays all unemployment
claims charged against it.
City of Pasco is a member of the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA). Utilizing Chapter
48.62 RCW (self-insurance regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal Cooperation Act),
nine cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for the purpose of
providing a pooling mechanism for jointly purchasing insurance, jointly self-insuring, and / or
jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA has a total of 162 members.
New members initially contract for a three-year term, and thereafter automatically renew on an
annual basis. A one-year withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated.
Termination does not relieve a former member from its unresolved loss history incurred during
membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis, without deductibles. Coverage includes
general, automobile, police, errors or omissions, stop gap, employment practices and employee
benefits liability. Limits are $4 million per occurrence in the self-insured layer, and $21 million in
limits above the self-insured layer is provided by reinsurance. Total limits are $25 million per
occurrence subject to aggregates and sublimits. The Board of Directors determines the limits and
terms of coverage annually.
Insurance for property, automobile physical damage, fidelity, inland marine, and boiler and
machinery coverage are purchased on a group basis. Various deductibles apply by type of
coverage. Property coverage is self-funded from the members’ deductible to $750,000, for all
perils other than flood and earthquake, and insured above that to $400 million per occurrence
subject to aggregates and sublimits. Automobile physical damage coverage is self-funded from the
members’ deductible to $250,000 and insured above that to $100 million per occurrence subject
to aggregates and sublimits.
In-house services include risk management consultation, loss control field services, and claims and
litigation administration. WCIA contracts for certain claims investigations, consultants for
personnel and land use issues, insurance brokerage, actuarial, and lobbyist services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members, who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated
basis, as determined by an outside, independent actuary. The assessment covers loss, loss
adjustment, reinsurance and other administrative expenses. As outlined in the interlocal, WCIA
retains the right to additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall.
An investment committee, using investment brokers, produces additional revenue by investment
of WCIA’s assets in financial instruments which comply with all State guidelines.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
92
A Board of Directors governs WCIA, which is comprised of one designated representative from
each member. The Board elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide
general policy direction for the organization. The WCIA Executive Director reports to the
Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day-to-day operations of WCIA. The
City has not had claims in excess of insurance for the last three years.
The City is self-insured for medical and dental coverage for its employees. A third-party
administrator, Benefits Management, Inc., processes all claims for reimbursement. The third-party
administrator provides utilization management services and requires pre-authorization for all non-
emergency hospital confinements. The City currently maintains four months (16 weeks) of
program expense in cash reserves for medical and dental claims. Program expense includes
average claims, as well as administrative and third-party provider costs. To limit the exposure for
large claims, the City purchases individual stop-loss coverage from a commercial insurance carrier
that limits the City's exposure for claim losses to $100,000 per individual. The amount of medical
and/or dental claims in excess of commercial insurance for the last three years are:

adjustment (COLA), and a one-time duty-related death benefit, if found eligible by
the Department of Labor and Industries. PERS 1 members were vested after the

are at least 55 years old can retire under one of two provisions:
With a benefit that is reduced by 3% for each year before age 65; or

early by accepting a reduction of 5% for each year of retirement before age 65.
This option is available only to those who are age 55 or older and have at least 30
years of service credit. PERS Plan 2/3 retirement benefits are also actuarially reduced
to reflect the choice of a survivor benefit. Other PERS Plan 2/3 benefits include duty

capped at 3% annually and a one-time duty related death benefit, if found eligible
by the Department of Labor and Industries. PERS 2 members are vested after
completing five years of eligible service. Plan 3 members are vested in the defined
benefit portion of their plan after ten years of service; or after five years of service
if 12 months of that service are earned after age 44.
PERS Plan 3 defined contribution benefits are totally dependent on employee
contributions and investment earnings on those contributions. PERS Plan 3 members
choose their contribution rate upon joining membership and have a chance to
change rates upon changing employers. As established by statute, Plan 3 required
defined contribution rates are set at a minimum of 5% and escalate to 15% with a
choice of six options. Employers do not contribute to the defined contribution
benefits. PERS Plan 3 members are immediately vested in the defined contribution
portion of their plan.
Contributions

Office of the State Actuary to fully fund Plan 2 and the defined benefit portion of
Plan 3. The Plan 2/3 employer rates include a component to address the PERS Plan

retirement. Otherwise, it is the average of the highest consecutive 24 months’ salary
within the last ten years of service. Members are eligible for retirement with five
years of service at the age of 50. Other benefits include duty and non-duty disability
payments, a cost-of living adjustment (COLA), and a one-time duty-related death

Contributions
Starting on July 1, 2000, LEOFF Plan 1 employers and employees contribute 0%, as
long as the plan remains fully funded. The LEOFF Plan I had no required employer
or employee contributions for fiscal year 2020. Employers paid only the
administrative expense of 0.18% of covered payroll.
b. LEOFF Plan 2 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Retirement benefits
are determined as 2% of the final average salary (FAS) per year of service (the FAS
is based on the highest consecutive 60 months). Members are eligible for retirement
with a full benefit at 53 with at least five years of service credit. Members who retire
prior to the age of 53 receive reduced benefits. If the member has at least 20 years
of service and is age 50, the reduction is 3% for each year prior to age 53.
Otherwise, the benefits are actuarially reduced for each year prior to age 53. LEOFF
2 retirement benefits are also actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor
benefit. Other benefits include duty and non-duty disability payments, a cost-of-
living allowance (based on the CPI), capped at 3% annually and a one-time duty-
related death benefit, if found eligible by the Department of Labor and Industries.
LEOFF 2 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible service.
Contributions
The LEOFF Plan 2 employer and employee contribution rates are developed by the
Office of the State Actuary to fully fund Plan 2. The employer rate includes an
administrative expense component set at 0.18%. Plan 2 employers and employees
are required to pay at the level adopted by the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board.
Effective July 1, 2017, when a LEOFF employer charges a fee or recovers costs for
services rendered by a LEOFF 2 member to a non-LEOFF employer, the LEOFF
employer must cover both the employer and state contributions on the LEOFF 2
basic salary earned for those services. The state contribution rate (expressed as a
percentage of covered payroll) was 3.44% in 2020.
The LEOFF Plan 2 required contribution rates (expressed as a percentage of covered
payroll) for 2020 were as follows:
Actual Contribution Rates Employer Employee
January – December 2020
State and local governments 5.15%8.59%
Administrative Fee 0.18%

City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
106
The City’s actual contributions to the plan were $965,108 for the year ended
December 31, 2020.
The Legislature, by means of a special funding arrangement, appropriates money
from the state General Fund to supplement the current service liability and fund the
prior service costs of Plan 2 in accordance with the recommendations of the Pension
Funding Council and the LEOFF Plan 2 Retirement Board. This special funding
situation is not mandated by the state constitution and could be changed by statute.
For the state fiscal year ending June 30, 2020, the state contributed $76,297,643
to LEOFF Plan 2. The amount recognized by the City as its proportionate share of
this amount is $617,114.
3. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability (TPL) for each of the DRS plans was determined using the
most recent actuarial valuation completed in 2020 with a valuation date of June 30,
2019. The actuarial assumptions used in the valuation were based on the results of the
Office of the State Actuary’s (OSA) 2013-2018 Experience Study and the 2019 Economic
Experience Study.
Additional assumptions for subsequent events and law changes are current as of the
2019 actuarial valuation report. The TPL was calculated as of the valuation date and
rolled forward to the measurement date of June 30, 2020. Plan liabilities were rolled
forward from June 30, 2019, to June 30, 2020, reflecting each plan’s normal cost (using
the entry-age cost method), assumed interest and actual benefit payments.
Inflation: 2.75% total economic inflation; 3.50% salary inflation.
Salary increases: In addition to the base 3.50% salary inflation assumption,
salaries are also expected to grow by promotions and longevity.
Investment rate of return: 7.4%.
Mortality rates were developed using the Society of Actuaries’ Pub. H-2020 mortality
rates, which vary by member status, as the base table. The OSA applied age offsets for
each system, as appropriate, to better tailor the mortality rates to the demographics of
each plan. OSA applied the long-term MP-2017 generational improvement scale, also
developed by the Society Actuaries, to project mortality rates for every year after the
2010 base table. Mortality rates are applied on a generational basis; meaning, each
member is assumed to receive additional mortality improvements in each future year
throughout his or her lifetime.
There were changes in methods and assumptions since the last valuation.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
107
OSA updated its demographic assumptions based on the results of its latest
demographic experience study. See OSA’s 2013-2018 Demographic Experience
Study at leg.wa.gov/osa.
OSA updated the Early Retirement Factors and Joint-and-Survivor factors used
in its model to match the ones implemented by DRS on October 1, 2020. These
factors are used to value benefits for members who elect to retire early and for
survivors of members that die prior to retirement.
The valuation includes liabilities and assets for Plan 3 members purchasing
Total Allocation Portfolio annuities when determining contribution rates and
funded status.
OSA simplified its modeling of medical premium reimbursements for survivors
of duty-related deaths in LEOFF 2.
OSA changed its method of updating certain data items that change annually,
including the public safety duty-related death lump sum and Washington state
average wage. OSA set these values in 2018 and will project them into the future
using assumptions until the next Demographic Experience Study in 2025. See
www.leg.wa.gov/osa for more information on this method change.
4. Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for all DRS plans was 7.4%.
To determine that rate, an asset sufficiency test was completed to test whether each
pension plan’s fiduciary net position was sufficient to make all projected future benefit
payments for current plan members. Based on OSA’s assumptions, the pension plans’
fiduciary net position was projected to be available to make all projected future benefit
payments of current plan members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return
of 7.4% was used to determine the total liability.
5. Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on the DRS pension plan investments of 7.4%
was determined using a building-block-method. In selecting this assumption, the Office
of the State Actuary (OSA) reviewed the historical experience data, considered the
historical conditions that produced past annual investment returns, and considered
Capital Market Assumptions (CMA’s) and simulated expected investment returns
provided by the Washington State Investment Board (WSIB). The WSIB uses the CMA’s
and their target asset allocation to simulate future investment returns at various future
times.
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report

6. Estimated Rates of Return by Asset Class
Best estimates of arithmetic real rates of return for each major asset class included in
the pension plan’s target asset allocation as of June 30, 2020, are summarized in the
table below. The inflation component used to create the table is 2.2% and represents
the WSIB’s most recent long-term estimate of broad economic inflation.
7. Sensitivity of the Net Pension Liability/(Asset)
The table below presents the City’s proportionate share of the net pension liability
calculated using the discount rate of 7.4%, as well as what the City’s proportionate
share of the net pension liability would be if it were calculated using a discount rate
that is 1-percentage point lower (6.4%) or 1-percentage point higher (8.4%) than the
current rate.
8. Pension Plan Fiduciary Net Position
Detailed information about the State’s pension plans’ fiduciary net position is available
in the separately issued DRS financial report.
9. Pension Liabilities (Assets), Pension Expense, and Deferred Outflows of Resources and
Deferred Inflows of Resources Related to Pensions
At June 30, 2020, the City reported a total pension asset of $10,853,518 and a total
pension liability of $4,515,567 for its proportionate share of the net pension liabilities
as follows:

The amount of the asset reported above for LEOFF Plans 1 and 2 reflects a reduction
for State pension support provided to the City. The amount recognized by the City as
its proportionate share of the net pension asset, the related State support, and the total
portion of the net pension asset that was associated with the City were as follows:
At June 30, the City’s proportionate share of the collective net pension liabilities was
as follows:
Employer contribution transmittals received and processed by the DRS for the fiscal
year ended June 30 are used as the basis for determining each employer’s
proportionate share of the collective pension amounts reported by the DRS in the
Schedules of Employer and Non-employer Allocations for all plans except LEOFF 1.
LEOFF Plan 1 allocation percentages are based on the total historical employer
contributions to LEOFF 1 from 1971 through 2000 and the retirement benefit payments
in fiscal year 2020. Historical data was obtained from a 2011 study by the Office of the
State Actuary (OSA). In fiscal year 2020, the state of Washington contributed 87.12%
of LEOFF 1 employer contributions and all other employers contributed the remaining
12.88% of employer contributions. LEOFF 1 is fully funded and no further employer
contributions have been required since June 2000. If the plan becomes underfunded,
funding of the remaining liability will require new legislation. The allocation method
the plan chose reflects the projected long-term contribution effort based on historical
data.

B. Firemen's Pension
1. Plan Description
The Firemen’s’ Pension Fund (FPF) is administered by the City of Pasco. The plan is a
single employer defined benefit pension plan that provides pensions for firefighters that
were hired prior to 1970.
The Municipal Firefighters' Pension board consists of the following five members, ex
officio, the Mayor, or in a city of the first class, the Mayor or a designated representative
who shall be an elected official of the city, who shall be chairperson of the board, the
city comptroller or clerk, the chairperson of finance of the City Council, or if there is
no chairperson of finance, the City Treasurer, and in addition, two regularly employed
or retired firefighters elected by secret ballot of those employed and retired firefighters
who are subject to the jurisdiction of the board. The members to be elected by the
firefighters shall be elected annually for a two-year term. The two firefighters elected
as members shall, in turn, select a third eligible member who shall serve as an alternate
in the event of an absence of one of the regularly elected members. In case a vacancy
occurs in the membership of the firefighters or retired members, the members shall in
the same manner elect a successor to serve the unexpired term. The board may select
and appoint a secretary who may, but need not be, a member of the board. In case of
absence or inability of the chairperson to act, the board may select a chairperson pro
tempore who shall during such absence or inability to perform the duties and exercise
the powers of the chairperson. A majority of the members of the board shall constitute
a quorum and have power to transact business.
2. Benefits Provided
All benefit terms are in statutes RCW 41.16, 41.18, and 41.26. FPF provides retirement,
disability, and death benefits. Each firefighter in service on March 1, 1970 receives the
greater of the benefit payable under the Washington Law Enforcement Officers' and
Firefighters' Retirement System and the benefits available under the provisions of prior
law. Where benefits under the old law exceed those under the new law for any
firefighter, the excess benefits are paid from the FPF of the city employing the member
on March 1, 1970.
All members are retired and drawing benefits. Benefit terms provide for cost-of-living
adjustments to each member's retirement benefit. There are two types of increases:
escalation by salary in proportion to the current salary of the rank from which the
firefighter retired, or an increase proportionate to the increase in the Seattle-area CPI,
with the change computed annually. Regardless of the increase (or decrease) in the CPI,
the benefits are increased at least 2% each year. The former applies to firefighters who
retired from service after 1969, their survivors, and to firefighters who retired for duty
City of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
114
disability (but not their survivors) after 1969. The latter applies to all other types of
monthly benefits.
3. Employees Covered by Benefit Terms
Plan membership is limited to active members of the Firefighters' Pension Fund (FPF)
as of March 1, 1970. On that date, the Washington Law Enforcement Officers' and
Firefighters' System (LEOFF) was established. FPF is responsible for paying the pensions
of those members retired prior to March 1, 1970 and for providing the “excess benefit”,
the excess of FPF formula benefits over the LEOFF benefits. Therefore, the plan is closed
to new members.
At December 31, 2020, the benefit terms covered the following employees:
4. Contributions
As long as the FPF provides for benefits to covered members, the City will be eligible
to receive a share of the State's distribution of the fire insurance premium taxes. The
amount the City receives is 25% of all monies received by the State from taxes on fire
insurance premiums. Contributions can also come from taxes paid pursuant to the
provisions of RCW 41.16.060. This statute require that each municipality levy up to
$0.45 (only $0.225 of which can be in excess of the property tax limit pursuant to
RCW 84.52.043) per $1,000 of assessed valuation, based on reports by a qualified
actuary, to maintain the fund.
Reporting Period contributions: $89,252
5. Investments
The Fire Pension Plan does not have an investment policy for investing pension funds.
At year end investments are reported at quoted market price as provided by our broker,
US Bank. At December 31, 2020 the Fire Pension Plan had the following investments,
reported at fair market value.

6. Rate of Return
For the year ended December 31, 2020, the annual money-weighted rate of return on
pension plan investments, net of pension plan investment expense, was 12.07%. The
money-weighted rate of return expresses investment performance, net of investment
expense, adjusted for the changing amount actually invested.
7. Actuarial Assumptions
The total pension liability in the December 31, 2020 actuarial valuation was determined
using the following actuarial assumptions, applied to all periods included in the
measurement, unless otherwise specified:
Discount Rate 7.00%
Investment Rate of Return 7.00%
Inflation 2.50%
Salary increases 3.00%
Mortality rates were based on tables from the Society of Actuaries.
No experience reports were used.
There were no ad hoc postemployment benefit changes (including ad hoc
COLAs) to the plan.
8. Discount rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability was 7.0%. The projection
of cash flows used to determine the discount rate assumed City contributions were
equal to the statutorily calculated contribution of state fire insurance premiums for the
next 20 years. Based on this assumption, the pension plan's fiduciary net position was
projected to be available to make all projected future benefit payment for current plan
members. Therefore, the long-term expected rate of return on pension plan
investments was applied to all periods of projected benefit payments to determine the
total pension liability.
9. Sensitivity of Liabilities to Change in the Discount Rate
Sensitivity of the total and net pension liability to changes in the discount rate. The
total and net pension liability of the City, as well as what the City's total and net
pension liability would be if they were calculated using a discount rate that is one
percentage point lower (6.00%) or one percentage point higher (8.00%) follows:

NOTE 15: CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION
The City has recorded in its financial statements all material liabilities, including applicable
estimates for situations that are not yet resolved but where, based on available information,
management believes it is probable that the City will have to make payment. The City has closely
reviewed all pending claims and it is management’s opinion, the City's insurance policies and self-
insurance reserves are adequate to pay all material known or pending claims. As discussed in Note
8, Long-term Debt, the City is contingently liable for repayment of debt.
The City participates in a number of Federal and State assisted programs. These grants are subject
to audit by the grantors or representatives. Such audits could result in requests for reimbursement
to grantor agencies for expenditures disallowed under the terms of the grants. However, City
management believes that such disallowances, if any, will be immaterial.
As of December 31, 2020, there was one damage claims and one potential lawsuit pending against
the City. However, in our opinion, neither the potential liability from any single claim or lawsuit,
nor the aggregate potential liability resulting from pending claims nor lawsuits, would affect
materially, the financial condition of the City.

NOTE 16: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On March 2, 2020, the City passed Ordinance No. 4483 establishing Local Improvement District
(LID) No. 151 to support the construction of a new sanitary sewer trunk line and other sewer
improvements in the Broadmoor area located in the northwest section of the City. The estimated
assessment against benefiting properties is $5,770,000. The total estimated cost of the
improvements is $6,880,000. On December 7th, 2020, a contract for the construction of the
sewer trunk line was awarded. The completion of the full project will require interim funding in
the form of a bond anticipation note. The City anticipates the project will be complete and LID
bonds issued in less than two years. With the availability of General Fund reserves, in conjunction
with the underwriter’s recommendation, the note will be secured internally. This plan is mutually
beneficial by the avoidance of higher issuance costs associated with an external financing, which
is passed on to assessed properties, and affording the General Fund a higher interest rate than
typically available to the City based on conservative investment protections. The interest rate of
the interim financing will be 3.25%.

1. An audit of prior years' projects discovered the source of funding was coded incorrectly.
This entry decreases assets of the correct funding source and increase assets to correct effect
of prior funding treatment.
2. Projects originally planned as capital in nature were determined to be maintenance
projects. The value of these projects as of end of 2019 was $78,141 which was included in
CWIP. It should have been a prior year expense. This adjustment decreased CWIP directly
on the Statement of Net Position, see Note 5 for details.
3. Assets totaling $1,395,293 were recognized as CWIP in 2019 as governmental in nature,
instead are utility assets. These were reported in CWIP in 2019. This adjustment was made
directly to CWIP to decreasing the government wide net position and increased for
business type.
4. An adjustment miscalculation in the composition of the government-wide statement
resulted in a presentation error which omitted a liability. No fund adjustments were
necessary.
5. Incorrect implementation of GASB 84 in 2019 resulted in the Cemetery Perpetual Care
Fund reported as a custodial fund instead of a governmental permanent fund.

NOTE 18: COVID-19 PANDEMIC
In February 2020, the Governor of the state of Washington declared a state of emergency
in response to the spread of the deadly new virus known as COVID-19. In the months
following the declaration, precautionary measures to slow the spread of the virus were
ordered. These measures included closing schools, cancelling public events, limiting public
and private gatherings, and restricting business operations, travel and non-essential
activities.
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the City of Pasco’s finances through reduction in
tourism related economic activity and revenue. However, the area has been insulated
from severe economic factors due to reasonable cost of living, and well-paying and stable
jobs. The area also has a diversified economy including but not limited to agriculture,
wine, research, and Hanford cleanup activity. Due to these factors, the area has been able
to attract other industrial businesses to further boost the local economy like Volm
Companies and AutoZone in recent times. COVID-19 has been devastating to our
residents, small businesses, and restaurant and hospitality industry. However,
diversification of its economy and stable jobs has allowed the City to weather the crises
while issuing single family home permits at a greater rate than in 2019. Visit Tri-Cities,
area’s regional tourism and visitor’s association, anticipates tourism industry returning to
normal operations by end of 2022. These factors are dependent on factors that the City
cannot control, like vaccinations or new strains. City saw a sharp decline in tourism related
revenue, however, robust increase in sales tax offset such reduction.
While the City has seen its delinquency in accounts receivable increase over the past year,
federal, state and local assistance is being made available to residents needing help to pay
for their utilities. City anticipates some write-off, but the amount is expected to be
immaterial in nature. Similarly, City does not anticipate any of its capital projects to be
cancelled due to inability to continue to provide funding. City has ample reserves to
continue with projects in progress. Due to the strong growth, need to maintain our service
level and strong financial condition, City has continued to add more staff as planned. The
City does not anticipate reduction in workforce in the near future.
In conclusion, while COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented in nature and has
impacted our City and its residents negatively, we do not at this time anticipate any
substantial changes to revenues and expenditures in near future. The length of time these
measures will continue to be in place, and the full extent of the financial impact on the
City is unknown at this time.

Note: The total indebtedness for general purposes with or without a vote cannot exceed 2.5% of the value of taxable property. The general purposes indebtedness includes debt for
capital leases without a vote. The legal limit for capital leases debt (RCW 35.42.200) is included in the 2.5 percent and does not constitute extra allowable debt.
The 1.5 percent is the maxium limit for gerneral purposes without a vote (councilmanic debt). A council may choose to allocate any portion of this debt capacity to the "voted" category.
If done so, this 1.5 percent of the indebtedness available without vote is to be proportionately reduced by the excess "voted" debt over 1 percent.

Tri Cities*
Franklin County*
*The Tri-Cities are three closely tied cities which include Pasco, Kennewick and Richland. Each city borders one-another, making the Tri-Cities seem like
one uninterrupted mid-sized city. Due to this, many employers overlap among the three cities.

*Pasco is the county seat of Franklin County and the largest city within the county, making up approximately 70 percent of the county's population. Many
employers have locations in Pasco and throughout the county.

making the Tri-Cities seem like one uninterrupted mid-sized city. Due to this, many employers overlap among the three cities.

Notes to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020
NOTE 1 – Basis of Accounting
The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is prepared on the same basis of accounting as
the City’s financial statements. The City uses a modified accrual basis of accounting for its
governmental funds and full accrual basis of accounting for its proprietary funds.
The amounts shown as current year expenditures represent only the federal grant portion of the
program costs. Entire program costs, including the City’s portion, are more than shown. Such
expenditures are recognized following, as applicable, either the cost principles in the OMB
Circular A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local, and Indian Tribal Governments, or the cost
principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, wherein certain types
of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
NOTE 2 – Federal De Minimis Indirect Cost Rate
The City has elected to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform
Guidance.
NOTE 3 – Revolving Loan – Program Income
The City participates in the Neighborhood Stabilization Program for recovering foreclosed
properties which are rehabilitated and sold as low-income housing. Under this federal pass-
through grant, the sale of low-income homes by the City is considered program income, and the
cost of rehabilitating homes and purchasing properties are considered expenditures. The amount
of loan funds disbursed to program participants for the year was $0. The amount of principal and
interest in loan repayments received for the year was $9,186.
The City also participates in the Housing and Urban Development HOME Program for low-
income individuals, as part of a regional consortium administered through the City of Richland.
The City is not privy to information on what portion of funds received from the City of Richland
are derived from program income. The amount of loan funds disbursed to program participants
for the year was $30,000 and is presented in this schedule. The amount of principal and interest
in loan repayments received for the year was $121,943.
