Pasco City Council Workshop Meeting of August 10, 2026

The Pasco City Council held a workshop meeting on August 10, 2026. On park vandalism and security, staff proposed stationary cameras at four locations and at least one mobile camera unit, using systems compatible with existing city technology. Staff said implementation would require returning with a budget amendment of approximately $100,000. Council members expressed support for moving ahead and discussed timing and whether to include private-security restroom closure checks; no formal vote or spending approval is recorded in the workshop transcript.

Council also reviewed updated procedures for administering the city’s affordable housing funds under House Bill 1406. Pasco has accumulated a balance of a little over $600,000; the proposed manual would set application, eligibility, project-monitoring, and reporting rules, with City Council approval required for individual projects. Staff said adopting the manual would have no immediate fiscal impact, and council members indicated support. The meeting also considered updates to the Tri-Cities HOME Consortium citizen participation plan and a proposed parking restriction amendment. The workshop’s opening notice states that formal action is not taken at these meetings; no contract award or specific housing-fund allocation was identified.
