Page 2 of 43 AGENDA REPORT FOR: City Council November 17, 2021 TO: Dave Zabell, City Manager City Council Workshop Meeting: 11/22/21 FROM: Steve Worley, Director Public Works SUBJECT: Lewis Street Corridor Update by Mackay Sposito I. REFERENCE(S): PowerPoint Presentation II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Presentation by Jason Irving, Senior Project Manager, of Mackay Sposito. III. FISCAL IMPACT: Currently, the project is partially funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) awards, a Washington State Capital Budget direct appropriation (administered by Department of Commerce), and local funds. Secured funds are as follows: CDBG 2019 (secured) $148,840 CDBG 2020 (secured) $398,126 CDBG 2021 (secured) $398,064 WA State Direct appropriation (secured) $339,000 REET 1 (2021-2022 adopted budget) $543,870 Stormwater Fund (2021-2022 adopted budget) + $100,000 Total: $1,927,900 Additional funds will be required for the selected option. The options presented have an anticipated construction cost ranging from $3.3 to $3.9 million. This does not include costs for engineering, permitting, etc. The current shortfall is on the order of $1.8 million to $2.4 million. Additional grant funding is being pursued through the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) Complete Streets Program. A selected alternative that provides multi- modal transportation will be perceived more favorably by funding agencies. If dedicated bicycle facilities are provided along alternate routes (other than Lewis Page 3 of 43 Street), additional funding will be needed. These additional costs are not currently included in the project estimate. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: This presentation is a continuation of the discussion, held at the October 25, 2021 Council Workshop, regarding the selection of a preferred alternative for the Lewis Street Improvements 2nd to 5th Avenue project. In that meeting, four options for improving the Lewis Street Corridor from 2nd to 5th were presented to Council. Council indicated a preliminary preference for Option 2 (bikes sharing a travel lane with vehicular traffic and approximately 20 feet sidewalks) coupled with feasibility evaluation for bicycle accommodations on adjacent streets so that downtown Pasco could still meet Council's goals and objectives of providing complete streets. Mackay Sposito evaluated the parallel streets of Clark and Columbia, to determine how bicycles could be routed from the Lewis Street Overpass through downtown Pasco without using Lewis Street and the associated impacts to Clark and Columbia streets. The evaluation revealed that Columbia Street fails to provide any beneficial connectivity as a bike route and is not recommended. Two-way bike traffic diverted from Lewis Street could be accommodated on Clark Street. To accommodate 2-way bicycle traffic on Clark Street, current right-of-way and roadway use would need to be modified. Between 2nd and 5th Avenue with significant modifications to Clark Street: • angled parking on the south side of the roadway would need to be eliminated and replaced by parallel parking, resulting in a loss of approximately 40 parking stalls, or • sidewalks width on both sides of Clark would need to be reduced in width from approximately 15 feet to approximately 8 feet • the route introduces right angle conflicts to cyclists at intersections not present in the Lewis Street route These modifications necessary to Clark Street to accommodate bike lanes would have significant impacts to the business and properties along Clark Street, who at this point have only been tangentially involved and have not been presented this proposal. Noteworthy is the fact that historically local business and property owners have advocated to preserve existing parking, particularly parking adjacent to their businesses, have opposed removal of such parking, and have advocated for additional parking spaces as future projects are planned. Page 4 of 43 To accommodate bike lanes west of 5th Avenue, a roadway reconfiguration would be required to decrease the number of travel lanes from 4 (two lanes each direction) to 3 (one lane each direction and a center turn lane). Th is impact has only been evaluated from a geometric standpoint, no public outreach or traffic engineering analysis has been performed Council also expressed interest in a holistic solution that would allow the downtown area to eventually grow and offer opportunities for revitalization in the downtown as a whole, not just along Lewis Street. Instrumental to this growth will be sidewalk and parking accommodations suitable for shops and restaurants. To assist Council and public in evaluating all alternatives under discussion, graphics have been developed and provided which illustrate outdoor seating possibilities for both 15’ and 20’ sidewalks. These graphics are intended to help inform the discussion about possible use of sidewalks for outdoor dining and the space available to businesses for the proposed options. As noted above in the fiscal impact section, additional funding beyond that which has been secured is required to fully fund this project. In order to move this project forward and make use of the current State grant appropriation before it times out, staff has aggressively pursued additional grant opportunities for the Lewis Street Corridor project in seven 2021 Complete Streets funding applications to nominating agencies (State and Independent o nes). Funding requirements will be discussed, along with strategies the City may implement moving forward to remain eligible to receive funding through this program. Staff targeted these grant program because the City's Complete Streets policy provides the City an advantage in these grant programs. The lack of multi-modal access within the Lewis Street Corridor project will adversely impact the competitiveness of the project in the aforementioned complete street funding programs, which in turn require the City to fund the gap from other unallocated sources, such as ARPA, general fund reserves, or delaying other capital street project(s) and reallocating the local match funds from this projects to this project. V. DISCUSSION: The project consultant (Mackay Sposito) will present the findings of the additional analysis performed since Council's last discussion. The presentation will provide further information to aid in the consideration of competing right -of-way uses: • requests by some stakeholders for additional sidewalk width along Lewis street • adequate accommodation of demand for multi-modal transportation in downtown • avoid and/or minimize loss of existing parking capacity in downtown • maintain existing sidewalk width along Clark Street • maximize opportunities for grant funding Page 5 of 43 To maintain a project schedule that will allow for maximum coordination between the Lewis Street Overpass and Lewis Street Corridor projects and minimize the window impact of these two projects on downtown businesses and visitors, staff would like to receive Council's preferred alternative for the Lewis Street Corridor 2nd Avenue to 5th Avenue project, considering a holistic approach to bicycle connectivity and future development opportunities on both Lewis Street and Clark Street, prior to the end of the year.

REFERENCE(S): Presentation II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: This issue was considered by Council at the September 13th, 27th and October 11th Workshop meetings. A number of suggestions and policy considerations were posed by Council. Staff has attempted to further refine use of the ARPA funds into the following general guidelines for formulating a final program. In developing a Program to account for what has been discussed thus far and what has been brought forward by business community members, the following guidelines are proposed for the use of ARPA funding: • Use of ARPA funds is predicated on determination of eligibility; • Use of ARPA funds to be limited to common wall structures/complexes with buildings at least 50 years of age in the Downtown “common wall” area • ARPA funds are to be focused on increasing physical capacity or stability of the structure and may include improvements to electrical, ventilation, fire suppression systems, plumbing and weatherization; • ARPA funds will be made available on a reimbursement basis for qualifying projects ranging from $5,000 to $100,000 per building/property and is to be a grant without a match requirement; Page 25 of 43 • Approval to alter the structure by the building owner, or other authorized party(ies), shall be a requirement for award and accompany applications for this program. • A “period of continuity” is required for acceptance of the funds. The current use of the structure must continue for at least 2 years after receipt of the funds. If the 2 year period is interrupted by a use different than the current use, or the building is vacated – the funds shall be repaid. • A “period of continuity” agreement shall be entered into between the property owner and City and recorded with the County Auditor to run with the land. For additional consideration on the focused use of ARPA funds, staff enlisted an engineering consultant to assess buildings eligible for use of ARPA funds for a summary of the scope and scale of needed system improvements. It is probable that such an assessment will yield cost savings, a more efficient use of funding and lessen delays in program implementation. V. DISCUSSION: Staff will discuss and explain the strategy for the outreach component of the Life Safety Program. Staff visited 17 downtown Pasco businesses in person, delivering information about the evaluation component. As of this writing, the contracted fire safe ty engineer working this project has evaluated 7 structures in the downtown core which will result individualized reports, proposed implementation process and a range of monetary impact. Page 26 of 43 Life Safety Program MIKE GONZALEZ ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT MANAGERPage 27 of 43 Life Safety Program Andrew Klein, PE, is performing the assessments. He is Vice Chair of the Washington State Building Council. Klein has been involved in national-level standards committee and code development work for the past 10 years. As a dually-licensed Chemical and Fire Protection Engineer, Mr. Klein's specialty is the development and application of codes for high-hazard occupancy facilities including associated processes and storage. As energy management grew as a primary focus of facility managers and developers, Mr. Klein's responsibilities expanded to also include energy code compliance, a topic on which he has authored books and lectured extensively. Mr. Klein is also passionate about helping to ensure a vibrant economy in Eastern Washington, where he sits on the board of the Benton -Franklin Economic Development District.Page 28 of 43 Life Safety Program Process 28 Target buildings selected in downtown core Letters sent via USPS mail to building owners explain the process Mike Gonzalez, Gina Vasquez & DPDA visited downtown businesses in person Mike Gonzalez and Gina Vasquez coordinated scheduling of assessments by Andrew Klein Andrew Klein will create his reportPage 29 of 43 Outreach Statistics 28 building targeted for initial outreach 17 in person contacts made with downtown businesses 7 evaluations so far Following up with all businesses who we’ve contacted via phone that haven’t scheduled with Andrew Klein.

REFERENCE(S): Draft Ordinance - Creation of ARPA Fund Draft Ordinance - Budget Adjustment for ARPA Funds II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL / STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS: Discussion III. FISCAL IMPACT: Allows appropriations authority for use of the ARPA funds, as Council directed, within a special revenue fund specifically for this grant purpose. IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF: On March 11, 2021, the President of the United States signed into law the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), which included $350 billion in federal fiscal recovery aid to state, local, territorial, and Tribal governments. The City of Pasco has been notified by the Washington State Office of Financial Management that ARPA funding in the amount of $17,400,000 will be provided. On June 8th, 2021, the City received the first of two installments in the amount of $8,732,156. V. DISCUSSION: It is allowable to account for the ARPA funds receipt and disbursement in the General Fund. Until the creation of the requested fund, the activities of the ARPA grant, both receipts and disbursements, have been recorded in the General Fund. However, in the interest of clear and distinct accounting for the grant funds, the establishment of a separate special revenue fund for the unique ARPA grant program is deemed a best practice. With the creation of the ARPA Fund Page 32 of 43 all related activity, both budget and actual, will be removed from the General Fund and recorded in the ARPA Fund; therefore, a budget supplement was also prepared for the ARPA funds. Based upon additional guidance from the Department of Treasury related to the ARPA grant, staff will request amendments to existing contracts with the Franklin PUD and Pasco Chamber of Commerce at the December 6t h meeting. The changes are inconsequential in regards to the operation of the contracts and, instead, housekeeping in nature.
