INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and on Compliance and Other
Matters Based on an Audit of Financial Statements Performed in Accordance with
Government Auditing Standards
City of Pasco
January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020
Mayor and City Council
City of Pasco
Pasco, Washington
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States, the financial statements of the
governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate discretely
presented component units and remaining fund information of the City of Pasco, as of and for the
year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
comprise the City’s basic financial statements, and have issued our report thereon dated
June 22, 2021.
As discussed in Note 18 to the financial statements, the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s
direct or indirect financial impact on the City is unknown. Management’s plans in response to this
matter are also described in Note 18.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial
statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s
internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s
internal control.
A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow
management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent,
or detect and correct, misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the City’s financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and
corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of
Page 7
Office of the Washington State Auditor sao.wa.gov
deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough
to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph
of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did
not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses.
However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.
COMPLIANCE AND OTHER MATTERS
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City’s financial statements are free
from material misstatement, we performed tests of the City’s compliance with certain provisions
of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a
direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing
an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit, and accordingly,
we do not express such an opinion.
The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required
to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.
PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT
The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and
compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the
City’s internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in
accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the City’s internal control and
compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose. However, this
report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. It also serves to disseminate
information to the public as a reporting tool to help citizens assess government operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Report on Compliance for Each Major Federal Program and Report on Internal
Control over Compliance in Accordance with the Uniform Guidance
City of Pasco
January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020
Mayor and City Council
City of Pasco
Pasco, Washington
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE FOR EACH MAJOR FEDERAL
PROGRAM
We have audited the compliance of the City of Pasco, with the types of compliance requirements
described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Compliance Supplement that could
have a direct and material effect on each of the City’s major federal programs for the year ended
December 31, 2020. The City’s major federal programs are identified in the accompanying
Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs.
Management’s Responsibility
Management is responsible for compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and
conditions of its federal awards applicable to its federal programs.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City’s major federal
programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We
conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and the audit
requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).
Those standards and the Uniform Guidance require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements
referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major federal program occurred.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City’s compliance with those
requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the
circumstances.
Page 9
Office of the Washington State Auditor sao.wa.gov
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major
federal program. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on the City’s compliance.
Opinion on Each Major Federal Program
In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance
requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major
federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2020.
REPORT ON INTE RNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE
Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control
over compliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above. In planning and
performing our audit of compliance, we considered the City’s internal control over compliance
with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major federal
program in order to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on compliance for each major federal program and to test
and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance.
Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control over
compliance.
A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control
over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing
their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal
control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over
compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of
compliance requirement of a federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on
a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance
requirement of a federal program that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control
over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance.
Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the
first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control
that might be material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies
in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material
weaknesses may exist that have not been identified.

Purpose of this Report
The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of
our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the
requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Accordingly, this report is not suitable for any other
purpose. However, this report is a matter of public record and its distribution is not limited. It also
serves to disseminate information to the public as a reporting tool to help citizens assess
government operations.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Report on the Financial Statements
City of Pasco
January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020
Mayor and City Council
City of Pasco
Pasco, Washington
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate discretely presented component units
and remaining fund information of the City of Pasco, as of and for the year ended December 31,
2020, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City’s basic
financial statements as listed on page 15.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this
includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States
of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment,
including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control
relevant to the City’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design
audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
Page 12
Office of the Washington State Auditor sao.wa.gov
an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such
opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our audit opinions.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each
major fund and the aggregate discretely presented component units and remaining fund
information of the City of Pasco, as of December 31, 2020, and the respective changes in financial
position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof, and the respective budgetary comparison for
the General and Ambulance funds for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.
Matters of Emphasis
As discussed in Note 18 to the financial statements, the full extent of the COVID-19 pandemic’s
direct or indirect financial impact on the City is unknown. Management’s plans in response to this
matter are also described in Note 18. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the
management’s discussion and analysis and required supplementary information listed on page 15
be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part
of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board
who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial
statements in an appropriate operational, economic or historical context. We have applied certain
limited procedures to the required supplementary information in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which consisted of inquiries of
management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the information for
consistency with management’s responses to our inquiries, the basic financial statements, and
other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express
an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not
provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Page 13
Office of the Washington State Auditor sao.wa.gov
Supplementary and Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that
collectively comprise the City’s basic financial statements as a whole. The accompanying
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented for purposes of additional analysis as
required by Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative
Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform
Guidance).This schedule is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information
is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying
accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. The information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and
certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to
the basic financial statements themselves, and other additional procedures in accordance with
auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. In our opinion, the
information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIRED B Y GOVERNMENT AUDITING
STANDARDS
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated June 22,
2021 on our consideration of the City’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests
of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements and
other matters. The purpose of that report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control
over financial reporting and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an
opinion on internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. That report is an integral
part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the
City’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

MANAGEMENTS’ DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
As management of the City of Pasco, we offer readers of the financial statements this narrative
overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City of Pasco for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2020. We encourage readers to consider the information that we have furnished in
our letter of transmittal which can be found starting on page 1 of this report.
Financial Highlights
x The assets and deferred outflows of the City of Pasco exceeded liabilities and deferred
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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
Page 17
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
x At the end of the December 31, 2020, City’s outstanding debt increased by $11,589,423.
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.
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
Page 18
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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
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.
Page 19
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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
$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.

CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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 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 seven percent. 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

Financial Analysis of the City’s Funds.
As noted earlier, the City of Pasco uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance
with finance related legal requirements.
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 are anticipated to be used
in 2021 to support capital improvements. Exclusive of capital related activity, current assets
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 ten percent 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
Page 26
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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.

million. Of this amount, $24,795,000 million comprised of debt backed by the full faith and credit
of the government. The business type debt total of $60,926,410 is primarily composed of
$54,041,892 million of bonds secured primarily by specified revenue resources (e.g. revenue
bonds). The remaining business type debt is composed of low interest loans, namely from two
State of Washington sponsored programs; the Public Works Board Loan and the Department of
Health, and a Hanford Area Economic Investment Fund (HAEIF) loan. In 2020, the City issued
a Revenue bond of $16,415,000 million for Reuse Facility.

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; with 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 indication 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
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
retailor 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.

Reconciliation of Balance Sheet
To the Statement of Net Position
December 31, 2020
Fund balances of governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are
different because:
Long-term assets used in governmental activities are not financial resources
and therefore are not reported in the governmental funds.
Deferred pension outflows are not available to pay for current period
expenditures and therefore are not reported in the governmental funds.
Long-term liabilities are not due and payable in the current period and
therefore are not reported in the funds. Proceeds from new debt and
repayments of existing debts are recorded as resources and expenditures for
fund reporting but are additions and reductions of liabilities for government
wide reporting.
Deferred inflows and proceeds from asset sales in governmental is susceptible
to full accrual therefore are not reported in the Statement of Net Activities.
Other expenses are susceptible to full accrual and are reported in the
Statement of Net Activities but not in the governmental funds.

Net change in fund balances - total governmental funds
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement of net position are different
because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. In the statement of activities, the
cost of assets are allocated over the useful life of the asset as depreciation expense.
The issuance of long-term debt (e.g. bonds, notes) provides current financial resources to
governmental funds, while the repayment of the principle of long-term debt consumes current
financial resources of governmental funds. Neither transaction, however, has any affect on
net position.
Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in
Fund Balances to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended December 31, 2020
1,330,000
Revenues reported in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial resources
are not reported as revenues in the funds.
Some expenses such as for compensated absences, pension expense, amortization on bond
premium, etc. reported in the Statement of Activities do not re quire the use of current
financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds.
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cos ts of certain activities to
individual funds. The net revenue of certain activity is reported with governmental activities.
Interfund transfers between governmental funds are eliminated in the Statements of
Activities.
The net effect of various miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets (i.e., sale of
assets and capital contributions) and the net impact to assets.

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
Page 42
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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. 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:
x 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.
x The Construction Fund: the Construction Fund is a capital project fund used to
account for significant construction and capital acquisition related to governmental
activities.
x Ambulance Services Fund – 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:
x 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:
x Special Revenue funds are used to account for specific revenue sources that are
restricted, committed, or assigned to expenditures for a particular purpose.
x 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.
x Permanent funds are used to report resources that are legally restricted to the extent
Page 43
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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.
x 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.
x 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.
x Custodial 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 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.
Proprietary fund financial statements are reported using the economic resources
measurement focus and full-accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when
Page 44
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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 waste water 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
adjusted by all reserves, transfers, allocations, supplemental appropriations, and other
legally authorized changes applicable for the fiscal year.
Excess of Expenditures over Appropriations
Page 45
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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.
2. Investments See (Note 3, Deposits and Investments)
3. Receivables
Taxes receivable consist of property taxes, sales taxes, business and occupation taxes,
gambling and excise taxes. Property taxes are levied January 1 on property values
assessed as of December of the prior year. The tax levy is divided into two billings; the
first billing is due April 30 and the second is due October 31. Detailed information on
property tax can be found in Note 4.
Page 46
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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 city wide 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, Interfund 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 interfund 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
schedule of interfund loans receivable and payable is furnished in Note 6, Interfund
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.
Page 47
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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 $5,000 and an estimated useful
life in excess of two years. Useful life estimates are periodically reassessed and adjusted
based on actual experience and/or asset condition assessments. See Note 5, Capital
Assets and CWIP for details on changes to useful life and depreciation. Such assets are
recorded at historical cost or estimated historical cost if purchased or constructed.
Donated capital assets are recorded at acquisition value at the date of donation.
The City reports infrastructure assets on a network and subsystem basis. Such assets are
recorded at historical cost if purchased or constructed. Additions, improvements and other
capital outlays that significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. The cost
of normal maintenance and repairs and street preservation activities that do not add to the
value of the asset or materially extend asset lives are not capitalized. Assets are
depreciated over their useful lives using the straight line depreciation method.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are reported as Construction Work in
Progress as projects are constructed. Interest, if material to the cost of the asset that is
incurred during the construction phase of the capital assets of business-type activities is
included as part of the capitalized value of the assets constructed. Capital Assets and
improvements are capitalized once the project is completed.
Customer Deposits 469,184$
Unspent Bond Proceeds 11,534,736
Debt Service 372,997
Capital Development:
Water/Sewer capital expansion contributions 7,957,104
Water Rights 1,201,742$
Page 48
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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 is 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.
City-wide, 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.
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.
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.
Page 50
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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 Firemans' 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
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
Page 51
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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 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:
Nonspendable 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
Page 52
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
balance resulting from overspending for specific purposes for which amounts had been
restricted, committed, or assigned.
NOTE 2: RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL

and the government-wide statement of net position.
The governmental fund balance sheet includes a reconciliation between fund balance –total
governmental funds and net position –governmental activities as reported in the

NOTE 3: DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS
Summary of Deposit and Investment Balances
Reconciliation of the City’s deposits and investment balances as of December 31, 2020, is as
follows:
Deposits
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.
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 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.

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.
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.

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.
Local Government Investment Pool
The City is a participant in the Local Government Investment Pool which was authorized by
Chapter 294, Laws of 1986, and is managed and operated by the Washington State Treasurer. The
State Finance Committee is the administrator of the statute that created the pool and adopts rules.
The State Treasurer is responsible for establishing the investment policy for the pool and reviews
the policy annually and proposed changes are reviewed by the LGIP advisory Committee.
Investments in the LGIP, a qualified external investment pool, are reported at amortized cost which
approximates fair value. The LGIP is an unrated external investment pool. The pool portfolio is
invested in a manner that meets the maturity, quality, diversification and liquidity requirements set
forth by the GASBS 79 for external investments pools that elect to measure, for financial reporting
purposes, investments at amortized cost. The LGIP does not have any legally binding guarantees
of share values. The LGIP does not impose liquidity fees or redemption gates on participant
withdrawals. For GASB reporting purposes funds in the LGIP are reported as cash equivalents.
The Office of the State Treasurer prepares a stand-alone LGIP financial report. A copy of the
report is available from the Office of the State Treasurer, PO Box 40200, Olympia, Washington
98504-0200, online at http://www.tre.wa.gov.

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.
As of December 31, 2020, the City had the following investments measured at fair value:

Property Tax Calendar
Page 59
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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 one percent
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 one percent
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.

The change resulted in a reduction in governmental activities, with an offsetting increase in
business type activities, in the amount of $1,395,293. Additionally, in the governmental activities,
work originally anticipated to be capital in nature, amounting to $78,141, was determined instead
to be facility maintenance. The total effect of prior period adjustments to governmental activities
was $1,473,434. See note 17 for details.

Inter-fund transfers
Transfers between funds during the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
Transfers are used to 1) move unrestricted general fund revenues to finance various programs that
the government must account for in other funds in accordance with budgetary authorizations,
including amounts provided as subsidies or matching funds for various grant programs; 2) move
investment earnings or operating subsidies from one fund to its designated, authorized purpose
carried out by another fund; 3) move resources designated for construction to and from
construction funds as projects are created and/or completed.
There were one time transfers for grant purpose between several special revenue funds, the general
fund and the construction funds. There were on-going transfers to move grant support from the
Community Development Block Grant fund to the general fund for qualified grant activities; and
from the general fund to the ambulance fund.
NOTE 7: CHANGES IN LONG-TERM LIABILITIES
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.

NOTE 8: LONG TERM DEBT
The City issues general obligation bonds to finance capital improvements such as street projects,
softball fields, library improvements, police station and other municipal facilities. Bonded
indebtedness has also been entered into in prior years to advance refund several general obligation
and revenue bonds. General obligation bonds have been issued for both general government and
business-type activities and are being repaid for the applicable resources. Revenue bonds are
issued to finance capital facilities, facility improvements and equipment purchases for the City’s
utilities. Governmental debt is considered obligations of the general government and is repaid with
general governmental resources. Proprietary fund revenues are used to repay revenue and
refunding bonds as well as certain loans to proprietary funds.
Governmental Debt
The City’s outstanding general obligation bonds are comprised of a 2015 bond issue that funded
the construction of a new police station and a 2019 bond issue to fund the construction of two fire

Special Assessment Debt
Local improvement districts (LID's) are created for the primary purposes of constructing streets,
storm drainage, sidewalk, street lighting, water, and sewer improvements. The principal and
interest on the bond issues are expected to be paid solely from special assessments collected. The
assessments are liens against the property and are subject to foreclosure. The LID Guarantee Fund
ended the year with a balance of $345,658. There is no external debt issue for local improvement
districts, all outstanding debt is internally funded through inter-fund loans. See details in Note 6:

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.
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/dental claims in excess of commercial insurance for the last three years are:

Substantially all city’s full-time and qualifying part-time employees participate in one of the
following statewide retirement systems administered by the Washington State Department of
Retirement Systems, under cost-sharing, multiple-employer public employee defined benefit and
defined contribution retirement plans. The state Legislature establishes, and amends, laws
pertaining to the creation and administration of all public retirement systems.
The Department of Retirement Systems (DRS), a department within the primary government of
the State of Washington, issues a publicly available comprehensive annual financial report that
includes financial statements and required supplementary information for each plan. The DRS
comprehensive annual financial report may be obtained by writing to:
Department of Retirement Systems
Communications Unit
P.O. Box 48380
Olympia, WA 98540-8380
Or the DRS comprehensive annual financial report may be downloaded from the DRS website at
www.drs.wa.gov.
Public Employee’s Retirement System (PERS)
PERS members include elected officials; state employees; employees of the Supreme, Appeals
and Superior Courts; employees of the legislature; employees of district and municipal courts;
employees of local governments; and higher education employees not participating in higher
education retirement programs. PERS is comprised of three separate pension plans for
membership purposes. PERS plans 1 and 2 are defined benefit plans, and PERS plan 3 is a defined
benefit plan with a defined contribution component.
PERS Plan 1 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Retirement benefits are
determined as two percent of the member’s average final compensation (AFC) times the member’s
years of service. The AFC is the average of the member’s 24 highest consecutive service months.
Members are eligible for retirement from active status at any age with at least 30 years of service,
at age 55 with at least 25 years of service, or at age 60 with at least five years of service. Members
retiring from active status prior to the age of 65 may receive actuarially reduced benefits.
Retirement benefits are actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a survivor benefit. Other
benefits include duty and non-duty disability payments, an optional cost-of-living 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 completion of five years of eligible service.
The plan was closed to new entrants on September 30, 1977.
Contributions
The PERS Plan 1 member contribution rate is established by State statute at 6 percent. The
employer contribution rate is developed by the Office of the State Actuary and includes an
administrative expense component that is currently set at 0.18 percent. Each biennium, the state
Page 74
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
Pension Funding Council adopts Plan 1 employer contribution rates. The PERS Plan 1 required
contribution rates (expressed as a percentage of covered payroll) for 2020 were as follows:
* For employees participating in JBM, the contribution rate was 12.26%.
PERS Plan 2/3 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Retirement benefits are
determined as two percent of the member’s average final compensation (AFC) times the member’s
years of service for Plan 2 and 1 percent of AFC for Plan 3. The AFC is the average of the
member’s 60 highest-paid consecutive service months. There is no cap on years of service credit.
Members are eligible for retirement with a full benefit at 65 with at least five years of service
credit. Retirement before age 65 is considered an early retirement. PERS Plan 2/3 members who
have at least 20 years of service credit and are 55 years of age or older, are eligible for early
retirement with a benefit that is reduced by a factor that varies according to age for each year
before age 65. PERS Plan 2/3 members who have 30 or more years of service credit and are at
least 55 years old can retire under one of two provisions:
x With a benefit that is reduced by three percent for each year before age 65; or
x With a benefit that has a smaller (or no) reduction (depending on age) that imposes stricter
return-to-work rules.
PERS Plan 2/3 members hired on or after May 1, 2013 have the option to retire early by accepting
a reduction of five percent 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 and non-duty disability payments, a cost-of-living allowance
(based on the CPI), capped at three percent 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 percent
and escalate to 15 percent 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
The PERS Plan 2/3 employer and employee contribution rates are developed by the 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 1 UAAL and an administrative expense that
is currently set at 0.18 percent. Each biennium, the state Pension Funding Council adopts Plan 2
employer and employee contribution rates and Plan 3 contribution rates. The PERS Plan 2/3
required contribution rates (expressed as a percentage of covered payroll) for 2020were as follows:
* For employees participating in JBM, the contribution rate was 19.75%.
The City’s actual PERS plan contributions were $665,510 to PERS Plan 1 and $1,099,234 to PERS
Plan 2/3 for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Law Enforcement Officers’ and Fire Fighters’ Retirement System (LEOFF)
LEOFF membership includes all full-time, fully compensated, local law enforcement
commissioned officers, firefighters, and as of July 24, 2005, emergency medical technicians.
LEOFF is comprised of two separate defined benefit plans.
LEOFF Plan 1 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Retirement benefits are
determined per year of service calculated as a percent of final average salary (FAS) as follows:
x 20+ years of service –2.0% of FAS
x 10-19 years of service –1.5% of FAS
x 5-9 years of service –1% of FAS
The FAS is the basic monthly salary received at the time of retirement, provided a member has
held the same position or rank for 12 months preceding the date of 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 benefit, if found eligible by the Department of Labor and Industries. LEOFF 1 members
were vested after the completion of five years of eligible service. The plan was closed to new
entrants on September 30, 1977.
Contributions
Starting on July 1, 2000, LEOFF Plan 1 employers and employees contribute zero percent, 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 percent
of covered payroll.
LEOFF Plan 2 provides retirement, disability and death benefits. Retirement benefits are
determined as two percent 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
three percent 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 three percent 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 percent. 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:
The City’s actual contributions to the plan were $965,108 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

LEOFF Plan 2
Page 77
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
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.
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.
x Inflation:2.75% total economic inflation; 3.50% salary inflation
x Salary increases: In addition to the base 3.50% salary inflation assumption, salaries are
also expected to grow by promotions and longevity.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x The valuation includes liabilities and assets for Plan 3 members purchasing Total
Allocation Portfolio annuities when determining contribution rates and funded status.
Page 78
CCity of Pasco, Washington 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
x OSA simplified its modeling of medical premium reimbursements for survivors of duty-
related deaths in LEOFF 2.
x 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 at 2018 and will project them into the future using assumptions until the next
Demographic Experience Study in 2025. See leg.wa.gov/osa for more information on this
method change.
Discount Rate
The discount rate used to measure the total pension liability for all DRS plans was 7.4 percent.
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 percent was used to determine the total liability.
Long-Term Expected Rate of Return
The long-term expected rate of return on the DRS pension plan investments of 7.4 percent 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.
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 percent and represents the WSIB’s most recent long-term
estimate of broad economic inflation.

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 Nonemployer 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 percent of LEOFF 1 employer contributions
and all other employers contributed the remaining 12.88 percent 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.
In fiscal year 2020, the state of Washington contributed 39 percent of LEOFF 2 employer
contributions pursuant to RCW 41.26.725 and all other employers contributed the remaining 61
percent of employer contributions.
The collective net pension liability (asset) was measured as of June 30, 2020, and the actuarial
valuation date on which the total pension liability (asset) is based was as of June 30, 2019, with
update procedures used to roll forward the total pension liability to the measurement date.

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.
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 disability (but not their survivors) after 1969.
The latter applies to all other types of monthly benefits.
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:

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

end investments are reported at quoted market price as provided by our broker, US Bank. At
December 31, 2020the Fire Pension Plan had the following investments, reported at fair market
value.
Federal Agency $ 10,567

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.
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.
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.
Sensitivity of liabilities to changes 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

Investments: The Old Fire OPEB Plan does not have an investment policy. The board approves
any purchase or sale transactions regarding assets of the plan. The plan has only one investment,
a mutual fund that was purchased in 2003. The investment is detailed in the following table.
The Old Fire OPEB Plan does not have a specific reserve policy or requirement, however all
assets of the plan are considered assets of the trust and as such are obligated for payment of
current and future benefits to plan members.
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.
Asof December 31, 2020, there was onedamage claims and one potential lawsuits 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%.

NOTE 17: PRIOR PERIOD ADJUSTMENT
The following table itemizes the prior period adjustments made in 2020, along with the purposes for the
adjustments:
Purpose for prior period adjustments:
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

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 have 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.

City of Pasco
Notes to the 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.

Office of the Washington State Auditor sao.wa.gov
ABOUT THE STATE A UDITOR’S OFFICE
The State Auditor’s Office is established in the Washington State Constitution and is part of the
executive branch of state government. The State Auditor is elected by the people of Washington
and serves four-year terms.
We work with state agencies, local governments and the public to achieve our vision of increasing
trust in government by helping governments work better and deliver higher value.
In fulfilling our mission to provide citizens with independent and transparent examinations of how
state and local governments use public funds, we hold ourselves to those same standards by
continually improving our audit quality and operational efficiency, and by developing highly
engaged and committed employees.
As an agency, the State Auditor’s Office has the independence necessary to objectively perform
audits, attestation engagements and investigations. Our work is designed to comply with
professional standards as well as to satisfy the requirements of federal, state and local laws. The
Office also has an extensive quality control program and undergoes regular external peer review
to ensure our work meets the highest possible standards of accuracy, objectivity and clarity.
Our audits look at financial information and compliance with federal, state and local laws for all
local governments, including schools, and all state agencies, including institutions of higher
education. In addition, we conduct performance audits and cybersecurity audits of state agencies
and local governments, as well as state whistleblower, fraud and citizen hotline investigations.
The results of our work are available to everyone through the more than 2,000 reports we publish
each year on our website, www.sao.wa.gov. Additionally, we share regular news and other
information via an email subscription service and social media channels.
We take our role as partners in accountability seriously. The Office provides training and technical
assistance to governments both directly and through partnerships with other governmental support
organizations.
