🚨🚨 COMMUNITY ALERT – TRI-CITIES ANIMAL CONTROL AUTHORITY MEETING 🚨🚨
Tomorrow’s meeting marks an important step forward for the future of animal services in our region.
This is the beginning of meaningful change for the Tri-Cities Animal Shelter. I will be in attendance, and from what I understand, the City Managers will be present as well—as they should be. They currently provide the true oversight of the shelter, and now the discussion of establishing a proper, long-term oversight board is officially before us.
🕠 Meeting Time: 5:30 P.M.
📍 Location: Pasco City Hall – City Council Chambers
Please review the proposed action plan for Tri-Cities Animal Shelter operations and tomorrow’s agenda, share this information with others, and help restart this important community conversation.
I also want to acknowledge that this has taken time—and I sincerely apologize. But like every issue that comes across my desk, I don’t give up… and neither should you. Let’s come together for a thoughtful and productive discussion about the future of animal care in our community.
Please share and help spread the word.
See you tomorrow.

🚨🚨 ALERTA COMUNITARIA – REUNIÓN DE LA AUTORIDAD DE CONTROL ANIMAL DE TRI-CITIES 🚨🚨
La reunión de mañana marca un paso importante hacia el futuro de los servicios para animales en nuestra región.
Este es el comienzo de cambios significativos para el Refugio de Animales de Tri-Cities. Yo estaré presente y, según entiendo, también asistirán los Administradores de las Ciudades—como debe ser. Actualmente ellos brindan la verdadera supervisión del refugio, y ahora la conversación sobre la creación de una junta de supervisión adecuada y permanente está oficialmente sobre la mesa.
🕠 Hora de la reunión: 5:30 P.M.
📍 Lugar: Pasco City Hall – Cámaras del Concejo Municipal
Por favor revisen el plan de acción propuesto para las operaciones del Refugio de Animales de Tri-Cities y la agenda de mañana, compartan esta información con otros y ayudemos a reactivar esta importante conversación comunitaria.
También quiero reconocer que esto ha tomado tiempo—y ofrezco una disculpa sincera. Pero como con cada tema que llega a mí, no me doy por vencido… y ustedes tampoco deberían hacerlo. Unámonos para tener una conversación reflexiva y productiva sobre el futuro del cuidado animal en nuestra comunidad.
Por favor compartan y ayuden a correr la voz.
Nos vemos mañana.

I have always said the only way to get a handle on this is spay and neutering. A lot of the problems stem from people not being able to afford that so programs should be put into place out in the community for free spay and neutering clinics once every six months. If they could put these clinics out in rural areas I think it would help with keeping the population down. Part of the problem is dogs that are not spayed or neutered run free, get pregnant. The people will dump the puppies but keep mama and the next year. It repeats itself.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.If you see something, say something! Let’s keep our community parks usable and available for the community.

Thank you, Pasco!
It’s looking like voters have said YES to the Mid-Columbia Libraries annexation, and I want to sincerely thank our community for showing up and supporting this important step forward.
This decision strengthens library services for our residents while also creating a more sustainable funding structure for the City as we continue working to address long-term budget challenges. It’s a win for education, families, and the future of Pasco.
I also want to recognize City Manager Harold Stewart, City staff, former City Attorney Eric Ferguson, and a special shout-out to Richa for being present at community outreach events alongside Mid-Columbia Libraries. Your engagement and commitment helped residents understand the value of this effort and made a real difference.
Thank you again to everyone who voted and stayed involved. Together, we’re building a stronger Pasco.
— Councilmember Leo Perales

Todo indica que los votantes dijeron SÍ a la anexión de Mid-Columbia Libraries, y quiero agradecer sinceramente a nuestra comunidad por participar y apoyar este importante paso hacia adelante.
Esta decisión fortalece los servicios de biblioteca para nuestros residentes y al mismo tiempo crea una estructura de financiamiento más sostenible para la Ciudad mientras seguimos trabajando para enfrentar los desafíos presupuestarios a largo plazo. Es una victoria para la educación, las familias y el futuro de Pasco.
También quiero reconocer al City Manager Harold Stewart, al personal de la Ciudad, al exabogado municipal Eric Ferguson, y dar un reconocimiento especial a Richa por estar presente en los eventos de alcance comunitario junto con Mid-Columbia Libraries. Su compromiso y participación ayudaron a los residentes a comprender el valor de este esfuerzo y marcaron una gran diferencia.
Gracias nuevamente a todos los que votaron y se mantuvieron involucrados. Juntos estamos construyendo un Pasco más fuerte.

Just another tax on the homeowners in Pasco, so are you going to forego the sales tax increase? Or can we expect that too?
It's your city.
Expect more.
