Draft Ordinance
Memo - Modifying PMC 10.70.080
Vicinity Map for 20th Avenue
Reference Image for 20th Avenue

II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. ____, amending Section 10.70.080
“Schedule III – Parking Prohibited at All Times on Certain Streets” and Section
10.70.090 “Schedule IV - Parking Prohibited During Certain Hours on Certain
Streets” of the Pasco Municipal Code.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The draft ordinance modifies parking restrictions within the City of Pasco. This
has been prepared in response to the concerns regarding access and the
reduced right-of-way at 20th Avenue south of "A" Street and the difficulties with
parked cars and operation of the Butterfield water Treatment Plant on 12th
Avenue.
The necessity for the restriction is associated with an anticipated increase in
traffic with the development of Columbia Riverwalk Apartment Complex relative
Page 22 of 268
to the use of the area by commercial truck parking; and the interference of
deliveries to the Water Plant on 12th Avenue.
Council considered this amendment at the Workshop Meeting of November 8,
2021.
V. DISCUSSION:
As a result of increased development and lack of right of way adjacent to 20th
Avenue, staff has identified the need to restrict parking on 20th Avenue on both
sides south of “A” Street.
Other existing restrictions in the vicinity include no parking on 20th Avenue, from
Lewis Street to Argent Road, except on the east side of 20th Avenue only from
a point 170 feet south of Hopkins Street to Lewis Street.
There are limited road frontage improvements on the east side of 20th Avenue
in this section as well as a restriction in the available right -of-way width to
accommodate those improvements.
South 12th Avenue between West A Street and West B Street is adjacent to the
east side of Pasco’s Butterfield Water Treatment Plant and provides access to
the plant’s loading dock.
Currently, on-street parking is allowed and vehicles park on the west side. Many
times vehicles parked in this area severely impact the ability to gain access to
the loading dock at the Butterfield plant by drivers of chemical delivery trucks.
Staff has asked residents living and visiting the area not to park close to the
loading dock area, so the delivery trucks have unfettered access to deliver much
needed chemicals to the treatment plant. Unfortunately, vehicles still park in this
area making chemical delivery difficult at times.
This item was discussed at the November 8, 2021 Council Workshop.
Staff is proposing to add “South 12th Avenue (west side) from 150 feet south of
West A Street to 100 feet south of West B Street” to PMC 10.70.090 - prohibiting
parking in this area between the hours of 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through
Friday.

To: Rick White, C&ED Director
From: Mike Manning, Planner I
Date: October 20, 2021
Re: Modifying PMC 10.70.080 "Parking - Streets Restricted"
In result of expressed concerns by City of Pasco Engineering regarding access and the reduced right-of-way at
20th Avenue south of "A" Street, it is proposed to restrict parking on Twentieth Avenue on both sides south of
“A” Street. Currently PMC 10.70.080 prohibits parking on Twentieth Avenue from Lewis Street to Argent Road,
except on the east side of 20th Avenue only from a point 170 feet south of Hopkins Street to Lewis Street.
Existing Conditions
City staff conducted a review of existing conditions. Currently on Twentieth Avenue south of “A” Street there is a
business to the east and Columbia Riverwalk Apartments to the west. The area is regularly used by commercial
trucks for parking. There are limited road frontage improvements on the east side of 20th Avenue in this section
as well as a restriction in the available right-of-way width to accommodate those improvements. This request
would take this “restriction” into effect and could be reversed, allowing parking on both sides of 20th Avenue,
should the full roadway be constructed allowing full and safe access.
Removing parking in this area will maintain accessibility and reduce the potential for conflicts.
Recommendation
To mitigate the concern of the reduced right-of-way and obstructed visibility, staff recommends parking to be
removed on both sides of Twentieth Avenue south of “A” street. This restriction could be reconsidered once south
Twentieth Avenue is built to a full road section and safety is reevaluated.

Memo
To: Dave Zabell – City Manager
cc:
From: Steve Worley – Public Works Director
Date: November 1, 2021
Re: Recommend Amending Chapter 10.70, Section 10.70.090 Schedule IV - Parking prohibited during
certain hours on certain streets of the PMC: S. 12th Avenue
SOUTH 12TH AVENUE (WEST SIDE) –WEST A STREET AND WEST B STREET
South 12th Avenue between West A Street and West B Street is adjacent to the east side of
Pasco’s Butterfield Water Treatment Plant and provides access to the plant’s loading dock.
Currently, on-street parking is allowed and vehicles park on the west side. Many times vehicles
parked in this area severely impact the ability to gain access to the loading dock at the Butterfield
plant by drivers of chemical delivery trucks.
Staff has asked residents living and visiting the area not to park close to the loading dock area, so
the delivery trucks have unfettered access to deliver much needed chemicals to the treatment
plant. Unfortunately, vehicles still park in this area making chemical delivery difficult at times.
Due to this, I propose adding “South 12th Avenue (west side) from 150 feet south of West A
Street to 100 feet south of West B Street” to PMC 10.70.040 prohibiting parking in this area
between the hours of 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The 2022 Washington State Legislative session will convene on Monday,
January 10, 2022. The 2022 session is the second year of the two -year
legislative biennium, commonly referred to as the "short" session, the even year
session is scheduled for 60 days. The short session focuses on supplemental
operating, capital, and transportation budgets.
Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs (GTHGA) has been contracted
to assist in promoting the Council's legislative priorities to the legislature. In doing
so GTHGA assists in the development a comprehensive legislative agenda and
in furthering that agenda in Olympia by providing on -the-ground (or virtual)
presence in Olympia during session, monitoring the legislature throughout the
year, and advancing the City's legislative agenda.
The City has benefited by maintaining a proactive posture with the legislature
regarding the interests of Pasco. One means by which Council has made its
concerns and interests known to the legislature, and specifically its legislat ive
Page 37 of 268
delegation, is through the adoption of its City Legislative Priorities Statement.
V. DISCUSSION:
The proposed resolution includes the 2022 Legislative Priorities list and reflects
recommended modifications by Council, staff and the legislative consultants.
Staff requests Council approval of the resolution or further direction for adoption
at a later date.

Resolution – 2022 Legislative Priorities - 1
RESOLUTION NO. ________
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PASCO, WASHINGTON,
DECLARING THE CITY’S LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES FOR THE 2022
SESSION OF THE WASHINGTON STATE LEGISLATURE.
WHEREAS, the 2022 Legislative Session of the Washington State Legislature
commences on January 10, 2022; and
WHEREAS, the City of Pasco, as a municipal corporation and political subdivision of the
State of Washington can be substantially affected by the actions of the Washington State
Legislature; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has evaluated conditions impacting the City of Pasco and
opportunities to improve the services the City provides to its citizenry; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to identify the legislative priorities for the 2022
Legislative Session so they can be provided to state legislators prior to the commencement of the
next legislative session.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PASCO, WASHINGTON:
Section 1. That the legislative objectives stated herein constitute the priorities of the City
of Pasco for the 2022 Legislative Session.
• DOWNTOWN PASCO INVESTMENTS: In partnership with the state, the City
has invested in Peanuts Plaza, Lewis Street, and the MLK Community Center to
revitalize downtown Pasco – a historic centerpiece that has struggled with aging
infrastructure. In response, the beginnings of a vibrant downtown with diverse
businesses has emerged. The COVID-19 pandemic presented a setback that the city
is eager to move beyond. To aid in that effort, the City requests that the state
continue in its partnership to revitalize downtown by allocating $250,000 in state
capital funding to improve signage, walkability, street furniture, lighting, and other
community amenities. In conjunction, the City has committed funding to life safety
upgrades for downtown businesses, such as fire sprinklers. Together, these
amenities will attract residents, visitors, and patrons into downtown Pasco to
experience its lively, culturally diverse community.
• SR 395/SYLVESTER BIKE/PEDESTRIAN CROSSING: The City requests
$4 million to complete the final segment of a continuous bike-pedestrian facility
along Sylvester Street - a key connection between low-income neighborhoods on
the west side of SR 395 and essential services to the east. The City has secured
funding to add bicycle/pedestrian facilities along the entire corridor, except for the
Page 39 of 268
Resolution – 2022 Legislative Priorities - 2
portion that bridges SR 395. The requested $4 million would fully fund and
complete this connection.
• SR 12 SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS: The City requests $1.5 million to design
safety solutions at two at-grade crossings at SR 12 (A Street and Tank Farm Rd.),
and a commitment to fully fund the identified solution. The Pasco community has
expressed concerns about the safety of these at-grade crossings after several serious
vehicle/truck accidents resulted from challenging access on and off the state route.
• BROADMOOR BIKE/PEDESTRIAN CROSSING: Pasco is experiencing
significant growth in the Broadmoor area. To accommodate this growth, the City
is urgently investing $6 million in improvements to the state system. The City is
proactively working to ensure this development supports multimodal transportation
options. As such, the City requests $3 million for a bicycle/pedestrian facility
crossing over I-182 at the Broadmoor Interchange.
• SR 395/I-182 INTERCHANGE: In recent years, Pasco has grown significantly
to the north. The City requests $2 million for WSDOT to complete an Access
Revision Report to allow eastbound access onto I-182 from the region north of the
interchange, which currently only provides westbound exits.
• PROCESS WATER REUSE FACILITY: In partnership with local food
processors, Pasco is investing nearly $40 million in its process water reuse facility
– a facility that reuses wastewater from local food processors to irrigate nearby
farmland. As part of the upgrade, the City envisions transitioning the facility to
establish greater industrial symbiosis such as providing renewable natural gas
production to meet low carbon fuel standards, providing high-nitrogen water to
farm algae biomass for other markets, and other interests. The City asks for the
state’s partnership in the coming years to accomplish this ambitious objective.
• WATER RIGHTS AVAILABILITY: To accommodate existing and future
demands, the City needs to secure adequate water rights for residential irrigation
and drinking water. One way to accomplish this is to ensure existing groundwater
rights, when permitted for irrigation of a city-owned industrial wastewater
treatment facility, are protected from relinquishment when converting irrigation
water rights to municipal water rights. The City supports proposals to increase
water rights availability for growing municipalities.
• MENTAL HEALTH & TREATMENT FUNDING: The Pasco community is
experiencing increased homelessness, rising crime rates, and other public safety
concerns. The Legislature’s recent decision to require diversion of those in
possession of controlled substances has put additional pressure on need for
treatment facilities. As such, the City requests increased funding for mental health
and substance abuse treatment services, including but not limited to additional local
option tools, to best meet the community’s needs.
Page 40 of 268
Resolution – 2022 Legislative Priorities - 3
• PUBLIC SAFETY: The City supports the Legislature revisiting police reform
proposals adopted during the 2021 legislative session to provide greater clarity and
consistency in application across the state and to address unintended negative
impacts to public safety.
Section 2. The City Manager is hereby directed to inform state legislators and other
appropriate parties of the City’s 2022 Legislative Priorities.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Pasco, Washington on this 15th day of
November, 2021.

TRANSPORTATION FUNDING: The City of Pasco encourages the Legislature to adopt
a transportation revenue package. The City asks that funding be allocated to preserve
the local and state transportation system, and to the following projects:
SR 395/SYLVESTER BIKE/PEDESTRIAN CROSSING: The City requests
$4 million to complete the final segment of a continuous bike-pedestrian facility

Meeting: 11/15/21

Community & Economic Development
SUBJECT: Resolution - Setting Public Hearing for Vacating a Portion of East Pueblo
Street (VAC 2021-003)
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Resolution
Overview Map
Vacation Petition
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No._____, setting 7:00 P.M., Monday,
January 3, 2022, as the time and date to conduct a public hearing to consider
vacating a portion of East Pueblo Street.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Two adjacent property owners with control over three parcels have submitted a
petition to vacate the undeveloped portion of East Pueblo Street located between
the centerline of vacated North Colorado Avenue and the west right-of-way line
of North Utah Avenue.
A similar petition (VAC 2019-006) was reviewed by Council between August
2019 and November 2020, wherein applicant and staff were seeking to vacate
East Pueblo Street from the east right-of-way line of North California Avenue to
the west right-of-way line of North Utah Avenue. However, one property owner
(Parcel No. 113-502-031) had expressed opposition and did not file a tax parcel
consolidation. A reason was not provided. As a result, the vacation was reduced
to that section of East Pueblo Street from North California Avenue to the vacated
Page 46 of 268
North Colorado Avenue. That same property owner has again refused to
participate in the current street vacation proposal.
The vacation petition requires the City Council to set a public hearing to consider
the vacation request. The earliest regular City Council meeting available for a
public hearing, which provides the statutory 20-day hearing notice, is January 3,
2022.
Council considered this Vacation Application at the Workshop Meeting of
November 8, 2021.
V. DISCUSSION:
Per Pasco Municipal Code (PMC) Chapter 12.40.120, the Council may require
compensation for vacated rights-of-way. However, this proposal involves East
Pueblo Street, which has been determined in the Oregon Avenue Circulation
Plan to be unnecessary. The Circulation Plan identifies streets that must be
retained for proper circulation and streets that may be vacated. Thus, because
it has been previously determined that East Pueblo Street may be vacated, no
compensation is necessary.
Per PMC Section 12.40.020, vacation approval of an extent of right-of-way may
only be granted if consent is received from the owners of more than two -thirds
of the property abutting the part of the street to be vacated. In this case the
application has been signed by two owners where the ownership comprises
three of six abutting lots.
Per PMC Section 12.40.070(3) no abutting property may become landlocked, or
have access substantially impaired due to the proposed vacation. As mentioned
above - one owner is not likely to participate in the vacation process and could
become landlocked; however, this will not be certain until the vacation process
runs its course.

WHEREAS, from time to time in response to petitions or in cases where it serves the
general interest of the City, the City Council may vacate rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, a petition for vacation of a portion of East Pueblo Street has been submitted
to the City; and
WHEREAS, the vacation process provided in PMC 12.40 requires a survey, title report
and an appraisal of value and compensation unless waived by City Council; and

has previously determined the street in question can be vacated; and

Avenue Corridor Circulation Plan, which identified streets that must be retained for proper
circulation and streets that may be vacated; and
WHEREAS, Pueblo Street is identified in the Oregon Avenue Circulation Plan as a street
that is planned to be vacated; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35.79 requires public hearings on vacations to be fixed by resolution.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PASCO, WASHINGTON:

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council November 9, 2021
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 11/15/21
FROM: Zach Ratkai, Director
Administrative & Community Services
SUBJECT: Resolution - Amendment to Mid Columbia Library Agreement
I. REFERENCE(S):
Proposed Resolution
Proposed Amendment for Extension to Interlocal (Six Months)
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ____, amending the Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement between City of Pasco and Mid-Columbia Libraries, and
authorize the City Manager to execute the amendment.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
On June 7, 2010, the City of Pasco entered into an Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement (ILA) with Mid-Columbia Libraries (MCL) to provide library locations
and services to the community. The term of the this current agreement
commenced on January 1, 2011, and expires on December 31, 2020. On
October 5, 2020, this agreement was extended one additional year to now expire
on December 31, 2021.
Contained within the ILA are stipulations on conditions of service, provision of
library materials and staff to serve the community, as well as locations from
which the library will be based. The primary location (Main Branch) is at 120
West Hopkins Street. This facility is city owned, with MCL operating the use as
a library branch, with the City in charge of maintenance, operations of the facility,
and capital improvements. In 2008, the MCL contributed to the capital
improvements of the facility consisting of the installation of carpet and chair rails,
along with painting. For this facility, there is a shared usage clause wherein the
Page 57 of 268
City may use the library for common meeting space as needed, schedule
permitting.
The agreement, also outlines the District agreeing to rent, staff, and maintain a
branch in the western portion of the City, a location currently found at 752 5
Wrigley Drive and has been in operation since April of 2013. The West Pasco
Branch is not in a city-owned facility and the City has no maintenance and
operations responsibilities for the facility.
V. DISCUSSION:
The resolution and amendment request a six-month extension to the current
extended agreement in order for the City and MCL to strategically plan future
facility locations in relation to short and medium -term capital facility plans. This
proposed extension will allow sufficient time for each pa rty to examine the tenets
of the original agreement, determine a collective future based upon current
trends, explore the potential for expanded and shared facilities, and expansion
of services.
Mid-Columbia Libraries and the City of Pasco are developin g a collaborative
strategy to enhance service to the community. Part of this discussion has been
establishing a presence in eastern Pasco for the library, including the possibility
for MCL to be included with expansion of the Pasco Martin Luther King Cente r
(MLK). As well, the City is looking at additional Parks and Recreation facility
expansion in western Pasco, including a new regional park and Community
Center. The timing for these efforts will run into early 2022, with determinations
on the scale of improvements and expansion at MLK and the completion of the
Parks, Recreation, and Open Space (PROS) Plan update finishing before March
2022.
With these efforts taking place, it was mutually determined by both parties to

the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant Improvements Phase 1 with RH2
Engineering
I. REFERENCE(S):
Resolution
Amendment
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No._____, authorizing execution of
Amendment RH2 with Agreement Services the for 4 No. Professional
Engineering, Inc. for the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant Improvements
Phase 1.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Original PSA $ 646,574.00
Amendment No. 1 $ 19,075.00
Amendment No. 2 $ 0
Amendment No. 3 $ 99,731.00
Amendment No. 4 (proposed) $ 949,841.00
Revised Total Budget $1,715,221.00
This project is funded through utility rates and a $5 million low-interest loan from
the Washington State Department of Health (DOH).
The total estimated cost for the Phase 1 project is $9,800,000. The estimated
combined cost of all three phases to increase treatment capacity to 12 million
gallons per day (MGD) is $20,100,000.
Page 62 of 268
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The City of Pasco (City) contracted with RH2 Engineering, Inc. (RH2) in June of
2020 to provide professional services to design and assist with permitting for the
expansion of the West Pasco Water Treatment Plant (WPWTP) from 6 MGD to
12 MGD capacity.
Subsequent to the initial PSA, three amendments have been approved for the
project:
• Amendment No. 1: This amendment included services to perform a
hydraulic transient analysis for the current system and for planned system
expansions. The original plant design did not include this analysis as
previously thought and is necessary because a sudden automatic closure
of valves to protect the filter banks could produce a detrimental pressure
wave through the system with potential to damage other components of
the system.
• Amendment No. 2: As the technical memorandum for the preliminary
design was being developed, a more comprehensive project scope was
identified. For strategic purposes relating to financing, cash flow, project
management capacity, ease of construction and sequencing of work , the
planned and necessary expansion of the facility to 12 MGD has been into
divided into three (3) consecutive projects, or phases. This no cost
amendment provided scope clarification and documented the decision to
focus the initial design on Phase 1 improvements.
• Amendment No. 3: As the Phase 1 project progressed to 60% design,
and not surprisingly given the scope and complexity of this project,
additional information has been learned requiring a slight expansion of
the initial scope, i.e., DOH membrane filtration treatment regulatory
updates, state funding requirements, project site layout modifications, and
permitting which were unknown at the time of the initial PSA.
V. DISCUSSION:
City staff is proposing Amendment No. 4, which will include professional
services during the bidding and construction phases of the project. The Scope
of Work includes the following tasks:
• Services During Bidding - $ 34,874
• Services During Construction - $714,918
Page 63 of 268
(includes Construction Management and Engineer of Record duties as
well as part-time, on-site inspection. This amount represents 8.5% of the
anticipated construction contract, which is in the lower end of the typical
range for this type and size of project.
• Arc Flash Analysis - $21,826
• Final Design Additions - $129,457
• Cyanobacteria Mitigation Feasibility Support - $9,863
• Project Administration and Management - $38,903
Staff recommends approval of Amendment No. 4 to the Professional Services
Agreement with RH2 Engineering, Inc. for the WPWTP Expansion Phase 1 in
the amount of $949,841.00.

IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The original Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with J-U-B Engineers, Inc.
(J-U-B) was authorized by Council on February 5, 2018, with a scope and budget
for 24 months of design, bid document preparation and project administration for
the Lewis Street Overpass project. The bids for construction of the project were
opened January 28, 2021, approximately 12 months after the original agreement
duration.
Supplement No. 1: was executed January 22, 2020 and compensated the
consultant for additional work associated with the acquisition of BNSF temporary
and permanent easements. It also included additional support with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) documentation as WSDOT required 40+/-
adjacent buildings to be inventoried as part of the updated Section 106 process.
The Supplement also added additional scope related to urban landscaping
design.
Supplement No. 2: was executed February 26, 2021, and included costs
associated with additional project management, required updates to project
documents due to BNSF delays, additional BNSF coordination, added design
and coordination of stairs accessing the overpass near 1st Avenue, and bid
period assistance that was not included in the original scope of services.
Supplement No. 3: was executed May 18, 2021 and provided construction
phase services. As the designer of the project, there are certain design
submittals and questions only the Engineer of Record (EOR) is allowed to review
and respond. For example, questions on structural items cannot be modified by
anyone other than the EOR. Other tasks will include necessary site visits to
review questions, change order design (if required), and preparation of
conformed and final record drawings.
V. DISCUSSION:
Supplement No. 4: will provide ongoing on-call engineering support during
construction.
Page 78 of 268
This supplement addresses a misunderstanding by the consultant on the level
of involvement and duration of services required on this project. The City's intent
was to have EOR consultant support through the duration of construction, while
the consultant anticipated a minimal effort at the beginning of construction and
tapering off after initial submittals were reviewed and the pace of construction
was established.
While unfortunate, this is not uncommon when several consultants (J-U-B
(design engineer) and WSP (construction management consultant)) interact in
the management of a large construction project like this one. Both are needed
to represent the City's interest. Supplements 3 and 4 combined represent
approximately 5.5% of the construction contract cost. The Construction
Management PSA with WSP, Inc combined with J -U-B's construction support
commitments (suppl. 3 and 4) represents under 14% of the construction
contract. This percentage is reasonable and within industry standards.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Supplement No. 4 to the
Professional Services Agreement with J-U-B Engineers, Inc. for the Lewis Street
Overpass project in the amount of $392,920.00.

TBD
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA, HR 1319) provides federal
funding relief for American workers, families, industries, and state and local
governments. The Act provides over $350 billion to states, counties, tribal
governments, territories, and cities, with a total of $17,464,312 allocated to the
City of Pasco in two equal installments during the calendar years 2021 and 2022.
The City received $8,732,156 as the first allocation on June 8, 2021, with the
remainder of funds to be dispensed within th e next 12 months with specific
guidance as to its use and the eligibility requirements for sub -recipients lagging
significantly. ARPA funds must be utilized or obligated prior to December 31,
2024, and if obligated in a timely manner, utilized by December 31, 2026.
The Act itself highlights areas of focus which allow for assistance to residents,
businesses, and governments impacted by the pandemic in various forms.
Requirements to show that the grants are disbursed by the City for COVID-19
related activities are clear, though details on standards to which the City will be
held in an audit remain limited.

V. DISCUSSION:
The ARPA project list (attached) has been assembled over several months by
Council discussion and staff recommendations. In recent months, several
programs have been created/completed to aid City of Pasco's customers,
industries impacted by COVID-19, and/or improve economic development.
Projects Completed/In-Progress ($4.36 million)
• $2 million - Business Assistance Grants: Approximately $1.9 million of the
$3 million in the allocation has been expended (grants plus administrative
costs), this includes business assistance and administrative cost for
Pasco Chamber of Commerce. Council direction will be needed on the
future of a "Business Resiliency/Education Program" to assist small
businesses with accounting, inventory, regulations, business plan,
training, etc.
• $1.05 million - City of Pasco / Franklin PUD Utility Assistance: Program
complete.
• $110k - BDI Utility Assistance: Program ongoing.
• $450k - Community Resource Specialist: Position has been hired.
Allocation represents funding of position through 2026.
• TBD ($750k placeholder) - Life Safety Program: Council has identified the
boundary of the program (C-2 Zone) and the program is being developed.
The City has contracted with a third-party fire engineer to complete fire/life
safety assessments of identified downtown businesses. The
assessments will provide valuable information on fire code requirements
for the future program. The assessment process commenced Friday,
November 12. At this time, funding allocation has not been confirmed.
Through the biennium adjustment process, discussion with community partners,
and successfully securing a low-interest loan, several projects included on the
attached list are recommended to be removed.
Projects Recommended to be Removed
• Broadband Service: The Council has voiced strong support for improving
access and reliability of broadband services to our community. Over the
past several months, dedicated programs have or are currently, being
created to provide funding to achieve these improvements
• Utility Assistance Big Bend Electric: City staff contacted Big Bend Electric
but there was little interest in participating in a program with the City.
• Job Training: No interest received from local job training programs.
• Generators at Police HQ & City Hall: Have been included in the mid-
biennium adjustment.
• Replacement of Council Equipment: Have been included in the mid -
biennium adjustment.
• Zone 3 Reservoir Storage Tank: Secured low-interest loan.
Page 92 of 268
• Street Eatery: This item was discussed at the onset of the ARPA
discussion, the project can be completed as a part of ongoing projects in
the area, allowing it to be accomplished in an efficient and least disruptive
fashion.
• Small Business Development Center: Discussions are ongoing with Small
Business Administration, Washington State University, and local
agencies on a regional partnership.
• Visit Tri-Cities TBEX Conference: Conference has been postponed to
Spring 2022, alternative funding identified.
• Downtown Master Plan: Process has begun, alternative funding
identified.
Projects Recommended for Review
Water Capital Project - Considerable discussion among Council occurred
during the recent review of water rates. Use of ARPA funds for water
infrastructure is and allowable use. The discussion centered around reducing
future debt to fund needed water capital projects, which would in turn reduce
debt service requirement, which would lessen reliance on rate revenues. For
instance, if Council were to choose to fund the $9 million fo r water projects,
offsetting rate increases for its 22,000+ utility customers, this would result in a
savings to ratepayers for the life of the bond (20 years). If Council were to
proceed with the aforementioned action, approximately $4.1 million would
remain from the City’s ARPA allocation, contingent on the Life Safety Program
allocation and Business Assistance final allocation. Below outlines the remaining
projects and status.
Mobile Outreach Professional & Community Health Program
In partnership with Lourdes, Mobile Outreach Professionals began riding in
tandem with the Pasco Police Officers to respond to individuals suffering a
behavioral health crisis, identity if/when there were options available other than
jail, and advance police officers' training. The program has been impactful to
Pasco Police Department (Pasco PD) and community members who may be
better served through behavioral health services. The program has been fund ed
by the Washington State True Blood Grant since its inception, this funding ends
in June 2022. As an important program to the community, ARPA funding was
discussed to fund a Pasco position to retain this valuable resource.
The impact of 2021 legislation on police response has altered how and when the
Pasco PD responds to individuals in crisis. If no crime has been committed,
police have been encouraged to remove themselves from a scene if the
individual in crisis does not want their assistance or if pol ice presence is
unwanted. Individuals continue to experience behavioral health episodes and
fire personnel has begun responding to these calls for service. Seeing the need
for improved training and response abilities, the Community Health Program was
added to the ARPA list. The amount was preliminary and did not account for a
regional approach or funding which might be available through Benton County
Page 93 of 268
Department of Human Services. Over the past month, discussion began with
Benton County, Pasco's Fire and Police Departments, and Franklin County
Sheriff’s Department regarding a region mobile crisis response team model. Any
program established through ARPA would require long-term commitment
that outlives the ARPA funding.
Two Rivers Behavioral Health Center
Council approved a letter of support of the Two Rivers Health District efforts to
secure funding and development of a Behavioral Health Recovery Center in
November 2020; Council suggested earmarking ARPA funding towards support
this project. With ARPA funds needing to be expensed by the end of 2026, there
is a risk that this funding will need to be reallocated if the project does not
progress or if progress is slowed. It is worth noting that this effort received
legislative funding in 2021 and, although not guaranteed to be a benefactor,
Benton County Commissioners approved a mental health sales tax on
November 9, 2021.
Martin Luther King Center Improvement & Expansion
MLK houses the YMCA Head Start, Homework/Computer Lab, and several teen
programs. The center was identified in the 2020 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
for improvements and expansion to include community meeting space, improve
ADA accessibility and functionality as a community center that no longer meets
the needs of its diverse community. In addition to the $1 million secured during
the 2021 Legislative Session, there is also a Congressional request of $3 million
pending. Furthermore, staff has commenced discussions with Mid -Columbia
Libraries for the inclusion of a mini branch to improve librar y services in the
easternmost part of Pasco. Staff is currently working on a Request for Proposal
for concept planning and engineering services.
Boys and Girls Club Building Improvements
Staff has completed a walk-thru of the facility with the Boys and Girls Club
Executive Director. Improvements to the facility focus on safety for kids and staff
and include items such as ADA accessibility, installation of fire sprinklers, and
additional space for programming.
Community Vaccination Clinics
The Tri-Cities Hispanic Chamber of Commerce has been conducting vaccination
outreach through pop-up vaccination clinics since mid-summer. The vaccination
clinics have proven successful and a request has been received for funding to
continue their outreach and incentive program. The funding would be a one-time
expense and funds would be utilized to incentivize community members from
Pasco to get vaccinated.
The information provided tonight is meant to elicit discussion from Council and
provide staff direction on the allocation of ARPA funds.

SUBJECT: Ordinance - 2022 Ad Valorem Tax Levy and General Fund Revenue
Review
I. REFERENCE(S):
Ordinance
Exhibit A - Property Taxes Worksheet
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No. ________, providing for an increase
in the regular property taxes of the City for levy in 2021 and collection in the 2022
tax year; preserving levy capacity for future years; and providing for related
matters and, further, authorize publication by summary only.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Increase tax revenue of approximately $450,223 to General Fund.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
As part of the annual budget process, per RCW 84.55.120, cities are required to
conduct a public hearing on General Fund revenue sources for the coming year's
budget, including possible increases in property tax revenues. Following the
revenue hearing, Council may choose to pass an ordinance at the same meeting
authorizing the property tax levy for the ensuing year, consistent with statutory
limitations.
State statue limits the property tax rate the City can levy to $3.60 per $1,000 of
assessed valuation. Other General Fund revenue includes sales tax, fees and
charges, utility taxes, fines and forfeitures, and transfers. Property tax, however,
Page 97 of 268
requires a public hearing and vote separate from the budget and is the primary
focus of this narrative.
Revenues generated through the City property tax levy represent a major source
of funding for essential government services such as police, fire, parks,
community development, finance, administration, as well as a significant portion
of streets and other services deemed necessary by the Council through the
budget process.
In 2001, the voters approved Initiative 747 (I-747) limiting the amount taxing
districts could increase the total property tax levy over the previous year by the
lesser of 1% or the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) without voter approval. In
November 2007, that initiative was challenged and ruled unconstitutional by the
Washington State Supreme Court; the Court's ruling returned the limit to the
lesser of 6% or IPD. The Legislature subsequently placed into law those limits
suggested by I-747. The current legal limit is the lesser of 1% or IPD, meaning
that the City could increase the total property tax levy for 2022 by as much as
1% over 2021.
The IPD differs significantly from a regional Consumer Price Index (CPI) in that,
unlike the CPI, the IPD is not based on a fixed basket of goods and services in
a region. The IPD basket spans the nation and is based on changes from year
to year with people's consumption and investment patterns. The IPD figure for
the 2022 tax calculation is 3.86%.
As final tax levy data has yet to be issued by the Franklin County Assessor’s
Office, including information on any increases to State-assessed utilities, the
calculations provided herein are estimates. Furthermore, because the
Assessor’s Office is not allowed to set the levy to exceed what is shown in the
City’s budget, the information provided for both the estimated calculations and
the rounded amount will be utilized for presentation in the budget.
V. DISCUSSION:
CITY PROPERTY TAX LEVY OPTIONS FOR 2022
For 2021, the Franklin County Assessor has provided a preliminary City
assessed valuation of $8,025,528,669 , which will be used as the basis to
calculate the 2022 property taxes. This amount includes new construction of
$207,945,700 and an estimated State-assessed utility of $100,000.
Please refer to Exhibit A for the chart regarding the options below.
Option A (recommended) reflects an estimated increase of $450,223 over the
2021 levy amount. The proposed increase is derived mostly from an increase in
Page 98 of 268
assessed valuation due to new construction in 2021. This option forgoes the
statutorily allowed 1% increase in the City property tax levy, an increase of
$114,499, and instead would bank the capacity for future needs. It is important
to consider that once the Council approves the resolution, the City is not part of
the process to ensure that its banked capacity remains intact; leaving it
vulnerable to any lapse in process or clerical errors. The effect of the new
construction adds to the overall assessed valuation of the City, which in turn
serves to reduce the levy rate for 2022 by $0.201 from the $1.684 per $1,000 of
assessed valuation in 2021 to $1.483 in 2022.
Option B depicts the amount of $564,722 the City would collect if the Council
chose to adopt the statutorily allowed 1% increase, plus an estimated increase
due to new construction and annexation in 2020. This alternative would decrease
the levy rate for 2022 by $0.187 per $1,000 of assessed va luation from the
$1.684 per $1,000 of assessed valuation in 2021 to $1.497 in 2022.
STATUTORY DEADLINE FOR PROPERTY TAX DETERMINATION
Finally, for the Franklin County Assessor to levy property taxes, the City is
required to certify property tax levies with the County by November 30th of each
year.
Staff presented the options to Council and as per the direction from Council, the
ordinance attached will bank the City's property tax increase for future use.

AGENDA REPORT
FOR: City Council November 10, 2021
TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Regular
Meeting: 11/15/21
FROM: Steve Worley, Director
Public Works
SUBJECT: Resolution - Basin Disposal Inc. 2022 Proposed Rate Increase
I. REFERENCE(S):
Resolution
Basin Disposal Inc. Letter 7/29/2021
Solid Waste Agreement 11/16/2015
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ________, approving a rate
increase for solid waste collections and disposal services by Basin Disposal Inc.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Basin Disposal Inc. (BDI) is requesting City Council approval of a 4.11% increase
in Solid Waste collection and disposal rates for 2022 for all customers within the
City Service Area. The increase was originally listed on the rate increase notice
at 4.04%, but BDI corrected this number as there was a math error.
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
Basin Disposal Inc. (BDI) has provided collection and disposal of the City's
residential and commercial solid waste for many years. The current agreement
with BDI, negotiated in 2015, is for a 15-year term with automatic 1-year
extensions of the expiration date with each anniversary, unless notice of
termination is provided per the provisions of the agreement.
The agreement sets the terms and classes of service and p rovides the conditions
for rate increases, which may occur annually. Basic rate adjustments are tied to
the Consumer Price Index (CPI) (limited to 80% of any increase) while other
adjustments (i.e., tipping fees, disposal costs, etc.) due to outside vendors, may
Page 116 of 268
also be requested. The agreement includes an annual rate adjustment cap of
five percent (5%).
V. DISCUSSION:
Based on the terms of the BDI agreement, and also taking into account how
these increases are calculated and distributed across each serv ice area
(commercial, residential, industrial). BDI is proposing an overall rate increase of
4.11% for a 96 gallon container, based on the following components:
• The maximum allowable CPI adjustment of 80% of CPI, or 0.80 x 6%(CPI)
= 4.8.% on activities other than solid waste disposal (tipping).
• BDI has been notified that tipping fees for the disposal of solid waste will
increase by 2.75% in 2022.
• The weighted average of these two increases calculates out to the
proposed 4.11% increase.
With the proposed rate increase, the cost for a standard residential 96 -gallon
container will increase from $21.60 per month to $22.49 per month. Per the
contract BDI is the retail provider to the customer and is responsible for
notification of the proposed rate adjustment.
Council authorized a subcommittee consisting of Councilmember's Saul
Martinez, Ruben Alvarado, and Blanch Barajas to review the BDI proposal in
detail. The subcommittee met on November 11, 2021, and discussed the
proposal and found that the requested increase is consistent with the terms and
conditions of the agreement.

Dear Mr. Worley:
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits. It is time for the annual rate adjustment based on the (Consumer Pri ce
Index) CPI. This year’s rate adjustment will also incorporate a Tip Fee increase from the Transfer Station, owned , and
operated by Columbia Basin, LLC (CBLLC). Please consider this letter as a notification of the proposed CPI and Tip Fee
adjustment scheduled for January 1, 2022.
The contract specifies an Annual Rate Adjustment tied to the CPI (section 6.3.1 on page 20 of the Comprehensive Solid Waste
Collection Agreement), based on 80% of the West Urban CPI, size class B/C. We are once again utilizing June data. The 12 -
month percentage change is 6%; the adjustment factor is 4.8% (6% x .80 =4.8%) to be applied to the service component of all
rates defined in the contract. We acknowledge that we are splitting the service and disposal component of the rates, and only
the service component is being adjusted by the CPI. The average cost of disposal is 33.84%. The disposal component is being
adjusted by the Tip Fee increase. The weighted average increase due to CPI is 3.18%. I am enclosing a copy of Exhibit C
proposed rates along with a copy of the CPI sheet.
The second portion of the year's rate adjustment comes from inc reased disposal expenses (Section 6.3.2 on page 20 of the
Service Agreement), CBLLC has notified that the disposal rates for Solid Waste (MSW) have increased. MSW has increased
from $53.26 per ton to $54.72 per ton, a 2.75% increase over the previous year.
The average rate change due to the CPI adjustmen t and Tip Fee increase is 4.04%.
We are most willing to meet with you for conversation on the topic of the rate adjustment and any other solid waste issues.
Thank you for your attention in this matter, and please feel free to contact me at 509-544-7709, should you have any questions.
I would also like to take the opportunity to thank you and the City Council of Pasco for allowing us to serve the Pasco City
Residents.
Sincerely,
Francisco Alcala
Sr. Financial Analyst

All Urban Consumers;West Region,Size B/C,standard reference base period
1982-84 =100,hereinafter referred to as the “Adjustment Index,”as determined
in this section.Adjustments to Contractor’s service charges shall be made in units

The following de?nitions apply to the use and application of the Fuel Surcharge:
0 Base Fuel Expense:the proportion of approved rates attributable to gross fuel
expense,hereby ?xed at 5.87%.
0 Base Fuel Price:the average cost of diesel fuel used at the time of the 2016
rate authorization,hereby ?xed at $3.79.
0 Current Fuel Price:the per gallon price for retail sales of “West Coast Number
2 Diesel Ultra-Low Sulfur”(0-15 PPM)for the most recent full month

$3.79*(current price/$3.79)].
The Fuel Surcharge shall be calculated by subtracting the Base Fuel Price from
the Current Fuel Price and converting the difference to a percentage of the Base
Fuel Price;that percentage shall then be multiplied by the Base Fuel Expense and
the resulting product shall constitute the Fuel Surcharge.Contractor shall submit
to the City a Fuel Surcharge calculation worksheet by the 15th day of the month
immediately preceding the months of August,October,December,February,

submit to the City for review and approval the WACOD Adjustment Statement
calculating the adjustment to new rates for the next year,which statement shall
show the calculations required in this Section.The City shall have sixty (60)days
to con?rm the Contractor’s WACOD Adjustment to the service rates.Upon
receipt of the City’s approval of the WACOD Adjustment Statement,which shall

surcharges or change the rates of existing taxes,fees or surcharges after the
Commencement Date,or there are other changes in federal,state or local laws or
regulations,and the impact of these changes results in increased or decreased
Contractor costs,Contractor and City shall enter into good faith negotiations to
determine whether compensation adjustments are appropriate and if so,to
determine the amount and the method of adjustment.If the City requires review
of Contractor’s financial or other proprietary information in conducting its rate
review,at the request of Contractor,the City shall retain a third party to review
such information at Contractor’s expense,provided however,that Contractor may
require such third party to execute a commercially reasonable con?dentiality
agreement.Any such additional ?nancial review costs shall be considered
allowable business expenses for future rates adjustment purposes.

employees under this Agreement, unless explicitly provided for therein.
Section 2.4 Supervisory Employees. Management pledges that supervisory employees, not part of

notifies the Human Resources Manager and or relevant department director, subject to the provisions of
Section 4.4.
Section 4.4 Shop Steward. The Union shall have the right to set up regular shop steward meetings,
but there shall be no more than one shop steward per work group. The City shall be notified in writing
of the person so certified. Except for actual meetings with management to discuss adjustment of
grievances, or where special permission has been obtained from a Department Director (or his/her
designee), Union business will be conducted on breaks, lunch periods and employee time.

notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the decision to contract and to bargain with the Union over the
effects and impacts on the bargaining unit of the decision to contract out.
5.2.7 Determine and change the number and locations and types of operations; processes and
materials to be used in carrying out all City functions.
5.2.8 Assign work to employees in accordance with classifications and position descriptions,
and establish and change work schedules, except as restricted by this Agreement.
5.2.9 Relieve any employees from duty due to lack of work or insufficient funds.
5.2.10 Take all actions necessary to carry out the mission of the City in emergencies. An
emergency means any unanticipated event threatening the public health or safety.
ARTICLE 6 – Non-Discrimination
Section 6.1 There shall be no discrimination against any employees because of union membership,
or non-union membership. In accordance with applicable law, the Employer, the Union, or members of
the Union shall not discriminate against any employee covered or not covered by this Agreement because
of race, creed, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, marital status or disability, except in the instance
where age, sex, sexual orientation, or absence of a disability may constitute a bona fide occupational
qualification under applicable law.
The Union agrees to work with the employer in instances of discriminatory or harassing behavior on the
part of represented employees.
Section 6.2 Whenever a male noun/pronoun is used in the Agreement it shall be construed to
include male and female employees.
ARTICLE 7 – Employee Responsibility/Discipline
Section 7.1 Employee Responsibility. The Union agrees that its members who are employees of the
City shall individually and collectively perform efficient work and service; that they shall avoid and
discourage waste of materials, time and manpower; that they shall use their influence and best efforts to

Page 226 of 268
9
Collective Bargaining Agreement
between City of Pasco and IUOE, Local 280
1/1/2022 – 12/31/2025
shall cooperate with the City in promoting and advancing the welfare of the City and its service at all
times. The Union and its members give their unequivocal pledge that they will neither instigate, support,
nor condone a strike, work stoppage or slowdown against the City during the term of this Agreement.
Provided, however, except for emergencies, employees shall not be required to cross a legally sanctioned
(an AFL-CIO sanctioned) picket line against another employer, but in such cases the City may perform
the work by contract or by supervisors.
Section 7.2 Just Cause. The City shall not take disciplinary action against any employee without
just cause. The City retains the right to discharge new employees at will during or at the end of the
probationary period and the discharge shall not be made the subject of a grievance either by the employee
or the Union.
Section 7.3 Progressive Discipline. Discipline of non-probationary employees in circumstances
not warranting termination will normally follow a progressive disciplinary pattern with the objective of
correcting the problem. When deciding the degree of discipline, the City will take into consideration the
circumstances surrounding the incident(s), the severity of the offense, and the past work record and past
conduct of the employee. The City reserves the right to initiate discipline at any level depending upon
the severity of the occurrence. When meeting with a management supervisor or at any hearing where
discipline is being considered, the employee shall be entitled to be accompanied by a Union
representative.
Section 7.4 Termination/Discharge. In the event a discharge is under consideration:
7.4.1 An employee shall be provided, in writing, with a notice of the charges and an
explanation of the evidence supporting the employee’s misconduct and the severity of the possible
discipline. The employee shall be given an opportunity to respond to the charges, before the City
Manager, as to why the proposed discharge should not be taken.
7.4.2 The employee may have a Union representative at the pre-discharge hearing, if
requested.
7.4.3 The City’s explanation of evidence at the pre-discharge hearing should be sufficient to
apprise the employee of the basis for the proposed discharge action. This rule, however, should not be
construed to limit the employer, employee or the Union at a subsequent hearing from presenting a more
detailed and complete case, including the presentation of witnesses and documents not available at the
pre-discharge hearing.
7.4.4 Unless otherwise agreed by the employee, a decision shall be made by the City Manager
within fourteen (14) calendar days after the close of the pre-discharge hearing.
Section 7.5 Appeal to Grievance Procedure. All disciplinary action of non-probationary
employees is subject to the grievance procedure. A suspension, demotion or discharge is subject to the
grievance procedure starting at Step 3, the City Manager level. Any other grievable item placed in the
employee’s personnel file is subject to the grievance procedure beginning at one step higher than the
original level of disciplinary action.

their review. Employees may request and receive a copy of any document in their personnel file. A Union
representative may have access to an employee’s personnel file and copy any document therein,
provided, he/she is authorized in writing by the employee.
An employee may request of the Human Resources Manager to withdraw disciplinary documents from
his/her personnel file at any time subject to approval of the City Manager or his designee.
ARTICLE 8 – Grievance Procedure
Section 8.1 Purpose. One of the purposes of this Agreement is to provide for the resolution of good
faith employee complaints or grievances promptly and fairly. Unless or until an action or conduct of the
City made the basis of a grievance is corrected, modified, suspended or revoked, no employee shall act
in disobedience to or in disregard of such action or conduct.
Section 8.2 Scope. Any complaint or dispute arising between the parties to this Agreement
involving the interpretation, application or claimed breach of this Agreement may be considered a
grievance and shall be subject to this grievance process.
Section 8.3 Retaliation Prohibited. Initiation of any step of the grievance process shall not subject
the employee to discrimination, coercion, restraint or reprisal as a result of the good faith initiation of
such action.
Section 8.4 Procedure.
8.4.1 Step One. Grievance to Division Manager. As soon as possible, but in no case later
than fourteen (14) calendar days following an alleged wrongful act, an employee and/or his/her agent
shall state his/her grievance in writing on a standardized grievance form to the relevant Division Manager
to attempt settlement of the dispute. Following such filing, the Division Manager shall, within fourteen
(14) calendar days of receipt of the written grievance, provide the employee with a written answer to the
grievance, which shall be in writing.
8.4.2 Step Two. Written Grievance to Department Deputy Director. If the employee is
dissatisfied with the decision of the Division Manager, the matter may be submitted to his/her
Department Deputy Director within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of the Division Manager’s
decision. Such grievance shall be in writing and:
8.4.2.1 Concern matters or incidents that have occurred or are scheduled to occur.
8.4.2.2 Detail the facts upon which the grievance is based.
8.4.2.3 Refer to the section(s) of the agreement alleged to have been violated.

Page 228 of 268
11
Collective Bargaining Agreement
between City of Pasco and IUOE, Local 280
1/1/2022 – 12/31/2025
employee of his decision in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days after receiving the grievance. Said
investigation may include a meeting with the grievant and/or his/her agent and the supervisor.
8.4.3 Step Three. Grievance Appeal. If the employee is dissatisfied with the decision of the
Deputy Department Director, he/she may, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of the Deputy
Department Director’s decision, forward a request for review to the City Manager. Said appeal shall
delineate the areas of agreement and disagreement with the response given at Step Two and the reasons
therefore.
Upon receipt of the appeal, the City Manager shall, within fourteen (14) calendar days make an
investigation of the relevant facts and circumstances and notify the employee of his decision. Said
investigation shall include a meeting with the grievant and/or his/her agent and the Department Deputy
Director.
If the employee is not satisfied with the decision of the City Manager, he/she may forward a request to
the union representative to, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date of the City Manager’s decision,
forward a request for review by an independent Fact Finder to the City Manager. Said request shall
delineate the areas of agreement and disagreement with the decision of the City Manager and the reasons
therefore. The Union and the City shall attempt to agree upon a person who would act in such a capacity.
If the parties fail to agree upon and/or obtain a Fact Finder within seven (7) working days of service of
the request, then either party may request the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS) to
supply the names of five (5) disinterested individuals who are qualified and willing to perform as an
impartial Fact Finder in the dispute. Upon receipt of said names, the parties shall meet within fourteen
(14) calendar days to make a selection. Selection shall be achieved by alternate striking of names with
the party striking first being determined by a coin toss.
The Fact Finder shall convene a hearing in the City of Pasco within thirty (30) days of selection by the
parties. At said hearing the parties may present evidence and sworn testimony as well as cross-examine
one another’s witnesses. Each of the parties agrees to produce any records or materials which the Fact
Finder may require relative to the dispute.
Upon closure of the hearing, the Fact Finder shall promptly issue written findings and recommended
action(s). In formulating his/her position, the Fact Finder shall designate the losing party. The opinion
shall not attempt to destroy, change, delete from, add to or alter the terms of this Agreement.
Within fourteen (14) calendar days of the City Manager’s receipt of the Fact Finder’s written opinion,
the City Manager shall either affirm, disaffirm, or amend said opinion and provide the reasons therefore.
The result of the City Manager’s review shall be final and binding on the parties and there shall be no
further appeal.
Each party shall bear the cost of the preparation of its own case. The cost of the Fact Finder shall be
borne by the parties in equal amounts, including related fees, expenses and room rental. In the event the
City Manager does not follow the recommendation of the Fact Finder’s written opinion, the City shall
bear the full cost of the related fees, expenses, etc. of the Fact Finder.

Section 8.5 Special Provisions.
8.5.1 The term “employee” as used in this Article shall mean an individual Union member, a
group of Union members, and/or their Union agent.
8.5.2 An aggrieved party shall be granted time off without loss of pay for the purpose of any
hearings held on a grievance.
8.5.3 A grievance may be advanced to any step in the grievance procedure if the parties so
jointly agree in writing.
8.5.4 The time limits within which action must be taken or a decision made as specified in
this procedure may be extended by mutual written consent of the parties involved. A statement of the
duration of such extension of time must be signed by both parties.
8.5.5 Any grievance shall be considered settled at the completion of any step if the employee
is satisfied or if the matter is not presented to a higher authority within the prescribed period of time.
ARTICLE 9 – Hours of Work
Section 9.1 Breaks/Clean-up. Lunch breaks will normally be taken at the appropriate shop.
However, in cases where the work site is closer to another City facility that contains restroom facilities
and normal eating facilities the employee(s) may take their lunch break at that facility. Employees may
also take their lunch break at a commercial restaurant, provided the break site shall be a reasonable travel
time from the work site. The City will allow some additional lunchtime in deference to the travel time
required if approved in advance by the City. Employees, on the other hand, understand it may be
appropriate for their Lead or other supervisor to speak to them during the lunch period about a work
assignment or that it may be necessary that they answer a telephone call if the phone is temporarily
unmanned by the secretary or other supervisory employee. A fifteen (15) minute rest break,
approximately at the mid-point of the first half of each shift and at the mid-point of the second half of
each shift shall be scheduled for fifteen (15) minutes, including travel time. Each employee shall be
permitted up to ten (10) minutes personal clean up time at the end of the shift. It is expected an employee
not needing the full ten minutes to utilize for clean-up will be engaged in productive work activity,
including the completion of work related paperwork during that time period.
The fifteen (15) minute rest break at approximately the mid-point of the second half of each shift
provided for in section 9.1 will continue to be tacked on to the thirty (30) minute lunch break by
maintenance crews, as is the past-practice under the current contract language of Sections 9.1 and 9.4.
Section 9.2 Work Schedules. The Union recognizes the right of the City to establish and/or modify
work schedules and the City recognizes the need to confer with the Union to take employee interest into
account. Except for emergency situations or as provided in Section 9.7, at least forty-eight (48) hours
notice will be given to the Union before an overall long-term or seasonal change in work schedule is
implemented.
Section 9.3 Hours of Work. The normal hours of work for a scheduled shift shall not exceed eight
(8) hours in any one day, nor ten (10) hours a day for employees normally scheduled to work four (4)
Page 230 of 268
13
Collective Bargaining Agreement
between City of Pasco and IUOE, Local 280
1/1/2022 – 12/31/2025
days in a designated seven (7) day work period. The work day shall be continuous, interrupted only by
designated rest and meal breaks and the standard shift will normally be completed between 7:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m. Nothing herein shall be construed as a guarantee of a forty (40) hour work week.
To promote efficiency and productivity, deviation from the normal work day may be required, provided
an employee reporting and scheduled for work is given no less than four (4) hours and no more than ten
(10) hours of work or no more than twelve (12) hours of work when scheduled to work four (4) days in
a designated seven (7) day work period. Provided, however, in emergency situations involving the
immediate threat of harm to persons or property, employees may be required to work beyond the ten
(10) and twelve (12) hour maximum limits. When practical, scheduling changes resulting in less than
the normal hours of work on a particular day should precede or follow a scheduled day or days off so as
to extend off-duty time. The discretion given to the employer by this sub-section shall not be used by the
employer as a punitive measure against any employee or exercised so frequently as to make the normal
work week schedule and work week provisions of this contract meaningless.
Section 9.4 Lunch Period. The standard day shift shall include a non-compensable lunch period of
not less than thirty (30) minutes or more than one (1) hour. Traveling to and from the work site, City
facilities or other work headquarters for lunch period shall be on the employee’s own time.
Employees in the Wastewater Collections section and in the Wastewater Plant section and those
employees when handling pesticides shall have up to ten (10) minutes personal cleanup time prior to the
lunch period, if necessary. In addition, employees required by the City to remain on duty, at a prescribed
work site, in the interest of the City during their lunch period, shall be considered working and
compensated accordingly.
Section 9.5 Work Week/Pay Period. Subject to the exceptions cited below, the standard work
week for full-time employment shall be forty (40) hours long within a seven (7) day work period, and
eighty (80) hours of work shall constitute the standard pay period. The standard work week shall not
exceed five (5) continuous days.
Section 9.6 Non-Standard Shifts. Non-standard shifts for Water Treatment Plant Operators are
bracketed in continuous eight (8) hour segments of working time within the period running from 4:00
p.m. of one day to 8:00 a.m. of the next day. The first of these shifts shall be titled the “swing shift” and
the second of these shifts, following the end of the first one, shall be titled the “graveyard shift”.
Employees assigned to any such non-standard shift work schedule shall receive shift differential pay
pursuant to Section 14.3.3.
Section 9.7 Irregular Shifts and Work Weeks. Irregular shifts and irregular work weeks, not
coincidental with the standard descriptions provided herein, may be designated by management to
accommodate the peculiar characteristics of street sweeping, park maintenance, wastewater plant, reuse
facility and water treatment plant operation. Established irregular shift schedules will not normally be
changed without mutual agreement between the City and the Union.
Section 9.8 Snow Removal and Control. When snow removal and control are required to provide
safe driving conditions on City streets or to keep streets open to traffic, management may adjust shifts
or require greater than normal working hours as reasonably necessary, but for only so long as conditions
require.

ARTICLE 10 – Sick Leave
Section 10.1 Scope/Conditions. Employees shall earn and may be granted time off with pay
covering periods of illness or involuntary physical incapacity, except time off caused by accident in
connection with other gainful employment, at the rate of one workday for each calendar month of service.
Sick leave may be accumulated up to a maximum of one hundred and twenty (120) working days, which
computes to nine hundred and sixty (960) working hours. In order to be granted sick leave with pay, an
employee must meet the following conditions in accordance with departmental regulations:
10.1.1 Report to his/her Division Manager, immediate supervisor, or designated
representative, prior to the beginning of the scheduled workday the reason their symptoms cause the
employee to be absent from work.
10.1.2 An employee on sick leave shall keep his/her supervisor informed of his/her condition
daily, except in known cases of extended illness.
10.1.3 An employee that is absent from work for five (5) or more days may be required to
provide a fitness for duty statement from a licensed health care provider verifying his/her fitness to return
to work. If such examination is required, the employer shall pay the full cost.
An employee that is absent from work at the direction of a licensed health care provider shall, upon
his/her return to work, provide to the employer a release to return to work from the provider. The
employer shall provide a form for the health care provider to complete for this purpose.
10.1.4 An employee must permit the City to make a medical examination or nursing visit if
the City deems it so desirable. The expense of such professional medical examination or professional
nursing visit shall be paid by the City. Provided, however, this section is superseded by Article 16, in
the case of time off caused by an on-the-job illness or injury covered by State Industrial Workers
Compensation.
Section 10.2 Sick Leave Taken. Sick leave taken will count as hours worked, within the seven (7) day
work week, for the purpose of overtime at the rate of one and one-half (1½) the regular rate of pay.
Section 10.3 Illness in Family. Notwithstanding any other Article, employee shall be allowed to use
accumulated sick leave for periods of illness or involuntary physical incapacity of himself or a family
member as defined by the Family Medical Leave Act (federal FMLA), the Family Care Expansion Act
(Washington) or any other applicable laws which may be promulgated during the term of this Agreement.
Under FMLA, the employee will be required to show satisfactory proof of an illness/injury of himself
or the family member needing care. (See Section 13.4 for additional FMLA language.)
Section 10.4 Doctor and Dentist Appointments. Bona fide doctor and dentist appointments of the
employee and as covered by state/federal law are an authorized use of sick leave, but the employee is
required to give his/her supervisor at least five (5) days advance notice of any such appointment. In the
event of a medical emergency or acute illness, said notice requirement is waived. The City recognizes
that sudden changes in appointment times may occur due to the availability of health care providers. The
name of the treating doctor or dentist, the location where the treatment or examination shall take place,
the date and the time that the appointment is scheduled are items of information that the employees are
Page 232 of 268
15
Collective Bargaining Agreement
between City of Pasco and IUOE, Local 280
1/1/2022 – 12/31/2025
required to provide to their supervisor in support of a sick leave request for a doctor or dentist
appointment, when such information is requested by the supervisor. Employees shall endeavor to
schedule appointments outside of regular work hours.
Section 10.5 Fraudulent Use of Sick Leave. Any use of sick leave outside of the terms of this
Agreement through fraudulent means not involving a bona fide physical incapacity, shall be considered
a serious offense and shall constitute a just cause action for formal disciplinary measures, including
termination.
Section 10.6 Vacation Leave Option. At the option of the employee, sickness in excess of the
maximum number of days accrued may be charged to unused vacation leave.
Section 10.7 Termination. Any employee terminating service due to their retirement, or resignation
upon giving two (2) weeks advance notice thereof, or leaving City service due to death or layoff, shall
receive payment for twenty-five percent (25%) of his/her accumulated and unused sick leave. Maximum
conversion to pay shall be for an aggregate of one hundred eighty (180) hours (22.5 days) at the then
prevailing hourly rate. Payment may be made in a lump sum or spread over a period not to exceed three
(3) months, at the option of the City. This benefit shall not be available to any employee discharged for
cause.
ARTICLE 11 – Vacation
Section 11.1 Accrual (Subject to 11.3 maximums). Employees shall earn vacation per each month
of continuous service in accordance with the following schedule:
Years of Service Amount Bi-Weekly Amount Annually
1-5 3.7 hrs. 96 hrs. (12 days)
6-10 4.62 hrs. 120 hrs. (15 days)
11-14 5.54 hrs. 144 hrs. (18 days)
15 or more 6.28 hrs. 164 hrs. (20.4 days)
Section 11.2 Vacation Scheduling. A vacation schedule shall be developed by the Department
Deputy Director at the beginning of the calendar year which indicates to the extent reasonably possible,
when each of the employees in a particular work unit desires to be away on vacation. Such schedules
shall be in harmony with the letter and spirit of this Agreement.
11.2.1 In January, the employer will schedule vacations for the calendar year and the following
January. Requests shall be submitted by employees during the first two (2) weeks of the month. The
employer shall prepare the schedule during the latter two (2) weeks of January. In the event of a conflict
between requests, the employee with the longest service record shall be allowed vacation at that time.
Vacation requests submitted to the employer after January of any calendar year shall be considered by
the employer on a first-come-first-serve basis. Vacation requests submitted to the City will be approved
or not approved within a reasonable period of time.
11.2.2 Vacation requests submitted to the employer after the first two (2) weeks of January of
any calendar year shall be considered by the employer on a first-come-first-serve basis. Vacation
requests submitted to the City will be approved or not approved within a reasonable period of time.

1/1/2022 – 12/31/2025
11.2.3 All vacations shall be scheduled by the City at times when they will constitute minimum
conflicts with work schedules. Vacations shall normally be taken in periods of at least one (1) week’s
duration; however, vacation requests for periods of one (1) hour or more may be made. Approval of
employee requests shall not be unreasonably withheld. When two (2) or more employees performing the
same function request a vacation during the same calendar week and the City will allow only one (1)
employee off during that period, the employee requesting the vacation first shall be allowed the vacation
at that time, but the City will strive to accommodate additional employee vacation requests.
Consideration will be given to allowing full-time employees summer vacations when practical.
Section 11.3 Maximum Accrual. No vacations may be taken prior to the first six (6) months of
continuous employment. No accumulation of accrued vacation credit in excess of what the employee
earns in a two (2) year period will be permitted. However, when an employee is within six (6) pay
periods of reaching maximum accrual, the employer can require the employee to submit within one (1)
week a plan to timely take vacation to avoid reaching maximum accrual. If the employee fails promptly
to submit the requested plan, the Department Deputy Director or his designee will not be required to
grant untimely vacation requests from the employee in order to avoid-losing additional vacation accrual
until vacation is scheduled and taken under the provisions of this article, permitting further accrual.
Section 11.4 Vacation Taken. Vacation taken will count as hours worked, within the seven (7) day
work week, for the purpose of overtime at the rate of one and one-half (1½) the regular rate of pay.
Section 11.5 Termination from Service. An employee who retires from City service shall receive
payment for up to three hundred twenty-eight (328) hours (41 days) of accrued vacation. Any excess
vacation must be taken prior to the last day of employment. An employee who separates from City
service for other than retirement shall be entitled to pay for all accumulated vacation unless termination
is made during the initial probationary period or less than two (2) weeks’ notice has been made to the
appropriate Department Director.
Section 11.6 No Mandated Vacation Shutdown. Employees in the respective departments shall not
be required to take their vacations at the same time.
Section 11.7 Leave Without Pay. If an employee requests additional vacation over what he/she has
accrued, such requests may be granted by the Department Director, without pay.
Section 11.8 Vacation Buyout. If an employee requests to work his/her earned vacation period, such
request may be approved by the Department Deputy Director and the City Manager, provided there is
sufficient money available in the budget to offset the additional cost. Such requests will only be
considered in the case of exceptional need. However, each employee after entering their tenth (10th) year
of continuous service may convert up to five (5) days accrued vacation to cash in December of each
year, provided the employee has maintained satisfactory work performance as shown on their last
performance evaluation and has used at least ten (10) vacation days during the calendar year in which
the cash out is taken.
Section 11.9 Early Return to Work. Employees required to return to work from vacation by
direction of management shall be compensated on a one-for-one basis up to a maximum of three (3)
work days at the rate of one and one-half (1½) times the regular straight time rate of pay for the hours
Page 234 of 268
17
Collective Bargaining Agreement
between City of Pasco and IUOE, Local 280
1/1/2022 – 12/31/2025
actually worked. Vacation leave not taken will be scheduled for a later date by mutual agreement of the
employee and his/her Department Director.
Section 11.10 Cancellation. When an employee is scheduled vacation leave at least three (3) months
prior to the time taken and the City cancels the vacation with less than thirty (30) days notice, then the
employee shall be paid in accordance with Section 11.9 above.
Section 11.11 Unavailability of Vacation. In the event the City denies an employee the opportunity
to take vacation, even though the employee submitted the vacation plan required by Section 11.2.1 and
11.3, and the employee has reached the maximum accrual of vacation time, then the City will pay the
employee for days accrued but not taken in excess of the maximum accruals allowed until the employer
permits vacation to be taken.

SUBJECT: *Resolution - Acceptance of Work for Fire Station No. 84 and Fire
Headquarters
I. REFERENCE(S):
Resolution-Construction of New Station No. 84 and Fire Administration
Headquarters
Schematic Design of Fire Stn 84 and Fire Administration Headquarters
Video will be shown at meeting
II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
MOTION: I move to approve Resolution No. ____, accepting the work performed
by Jackson Contractor Group, Inc. under contract for the City of Pasco's new
Fire Station No. 84 and Fire Administration Headquarters.
III. FISCAL IMPACT:
Estimated project cost without Soft Costs $10,006,246
Initial Contract $6,919,800
Change Orders $119,257.01
Total cost with hard and soft costs included $9,368,123.24
This project was funded by a combination of bond funds from the 2019 bond sale
and Real Estate Excise Taxes (REET).
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF:
externally and infill with internally As grown, has City the through both
annexations, the need to update existing fire stations and relocate current fire
stations became evident through the Pasco Fire Department’s (PFD) Master and
Strategic planning process.
Page 247 of 268
Council approved a bond sale in 2019, payable by using banked capacity from
previous years’ property tax levy rates to facilitate the needed updates
(remodels) and the relocations of Fire Station No. 83 and Fire Station No.84
closer to the higher percentage of calls responded to by those stations. Fire
Administration staff were leasing office space on the southeast section of the
City, which required longer response times to most ar eas of the City. The
Battalion Chiefs were stationed in Fire Station No. 81 on Oregon Ave, which also
required longer response time throughout the City. With the new construction of
Fire Station No. 84 and Fire Administration Building, personnel are centr ally
located resulting in timelier response times to the majority of our response areas.
An additional Vehicle Storage Building was constructed at the same time, and
will centrally house backup apparatus and EMS supplies.
V. DISCUSSION:
Fire Station No. 84 was relocated from its current location, a temporary building
and house, to the corner of 4920 Court street. The Riverview area of the City
was long underserved from the three Fire Stations the City had in place. A
temporary fire station was opened when the City acquired a small fire station
from Franklin County Fire District No. 3 in an annexation asset transfer. An
adjoining single family residence was purchased and remodeled to provide living
quarters for the firefighters.
The new station’s location change should have a positive impact on response
times. The relocating of Fire Station No. 83 north of the Interstate was possible
by the locating of Fire Station No. 84 in the Riverview area, which covers calls
south of Wernett Road and as far east as 20th Avenue; this area was previously
handled by the old Fire Station No. 83.
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Resolution accepting the work
performed by Jackson Contractor Group Inc for construction of Fire Station No.
84 and Fire Headquarters.
