Ballot Measure for the November Election Resolution
DRAFT
July 6, 2021 PPFD Minutes Page - 2
The PPFD Board and City staff discussed the draft resolution providing for the submission of
a proposition to the qualified voters of the Pasco Public Facilities District imposing a 2/10 of
1% sales and use tax for the purpose of funding an aquatic center and requesting that the
Franklin County Auditor place the proposition on the November 2, 2021 ballot.
The following was discussed:
• The final Resolution for the proposition would need to be received by Franklin County,
WA by August 3rd for the November 2021 Ballot.
• Grammar and spelling corrections were identified, and blanks were filled in in the draft
Resolution.
• Confirmation that only registered votes living within the City of Pasco city limits would
be qualified to vote on the proposition.
Additional revisions to the draft Resolution were identified and amended; however, the draft
Resolution was not ready for approval by the PPFD Board as legal counsel still needed to
review statutes associated with the resolution. Mr. Ratkai asked if the Board would like to
present the draft resolution to City Council at their next Workshop meeting in order to receive
Council’s feedback, then bring the revised and final PPFD Board approved Resolution back to
City Council for final approval at a Council business meeting.
Mr. Morrisette stated that he did not want to present a draft resolution to City Council and
believed that an approved resolution by the PPFD Board would have a better chance for
approval. The PPFD Board concurred and agreed to schedule another special meeting for the
final approval of the PPFD Resolution.
Supplemental Funding Request
Mr. Ratkai explained that the supplemental funding request was not ready and would be
brought back to the Board at a future meeting.
PPFD Board and Mr. Ratkai further discussed the various aspects and ramifications of the
supplemental funding request to the City of Pasco. They also discussed the funding shortfall
during the first few years of the operation costs of the Aquatic Facility and how that will be
addressed, which lead to further discussion of the draft PPFD Resolution.
