Pasco to weigh joining Franklin County Conservation District; homeowners could pay about $5 a year
Summary
Pasco council will discuss joining the Franklin County Conservation District (FCD) at the March 9 workshop; the presenter said membership would add roughly $5 annually for homeowners (more for larger yards) and would expand conservation and homeowner assistance programs.
The presenter said Pasco City Council will consider formally joining the Franklin County Conservation District (FCD) at the March 9 workshop.
The presenter described the change as a membership that would carry an additional fee for homeowners of about $5 per year, with higher charges for larger yards. “It would mean an additional fee for homeowners about $5 per year, although the price goes up for bigger yards,” the presenter said.
Why it matters: the FCD already partners with Pasco on habitat and water protection, and membership could allow the city and homeowners to access conservation services such as assistance building low‑water “heritage” gardens, the presenter said.
What was not specified: the preview did not provide the ordinance or formal agreement text, the exact fee schedule, whether the fee would require voter approval, or the timeline for council action.
Next steps: council will discuss the matter during the workshop; the broadcaster’s preview did not report a specific vote or final decision date.
