1. Discussion/k'resentaCipn: Wastewster'1'reatment Financial Plannioa. Rates Studv- f3ruce Rfiwls_
Spokane Countv Ut.ilit.ies Directpr
VIr. Rawls introduced Ed Cebron and Angie Sanchez from PCS Corisulting, and said tliat ~Vls. Sanchez is
the consultant for the praject; and he also introduced Co«nty employees Kevin Cooke, Dave Moss, and
Dave Stark. Mr. Kawls esplained Chtjt: one oi' the reasons for tonight's presentation, is [hat over the Iasl .
several years of discussion, one of the key issues of importvlce to Council is havinn the opportuniry io
have input on rates, and to have dialogue abnuC the financial clccisions; and dhat we are on course to mtil:e
a major chtinge in the rale skruelure arid financing on the project; and he felt it would be beneficial to FiAVe
that clialogue with the Commissioners who set this up as a joint meeting, wliich allows the conversation to
be d'uect rather than interpretative. . •
Ms. Sanchez then gave the PowerPoint presentilion, w1iich focused on the purpose of a rate study now,
how wastewater costs are funded; an overview of the process including financial planning assumplions
anci operating and maintenance; fiinding options and sources, and summary nf proposed rates and charges.
C ~ Shc eaplained that the presentation also focuses on new customers and existing ratepayers' fees; and
mentioned the new slide showing the sewer ratc comparison with othe,r cities. Nir. Rawls addecl chat they
. have a recommended nption, but there are other options «<hich could adjust the rates one way or the other;
Spccia! Joint CounciUCounty A4eet.ing May 1, 2007 Fage 1 of 6
Approved b}• City Council:
DIZAFT
and that the last year f4r the capital facilities rate will be 2011. Mr. Rriwis also mentioned that the County
has reserves in all fiurids, and that• the $700,000 shown on slide 7 under "I'rojected Operating Fund: fund
Balance to Levelize Rate Increase," (dealinD with nperations and rnaintenance and not the capital part)
. will conie from lhe County's reserves; that in 2008 and 2009 they w•ould borrow from those funds and
restore those funds in the fuCure, and that the reserves would not be tntally depleted.
ln moving into the Capital Frogram revetiue sources, Ms. Sanchez ehplained tliat this includes the
wastewater treatment plant monthly charge, which is currenily $6.68; iind she expiained tlie ot:her revenue
sources as shown an slide 8. Mr. Rawls also menCioned that in aquifer protect_ion, the reserves amount to
an estimated tcn million dolla.rs; and there are other reserves in other funds wMich will go tnward this
program. In reference to the STFP (septic tanl: eliminatiqn program), Mr. Rawls said their .
recommendatiai is to cap the GFC (general facilities charge) ST.Ef' at $1,$85; which is $2510 less the
25"/o subsicly; and that they propose kecping it ttl $1885 as it is i-elatively consisCent with what other recenC
customers have paid in the STEP, and they are concerricd if Clic-y make 3 substantial acljuslment to it in the
IasC Cour ye;irs, thert, could be some issues related to that, but that this is a palicy decisiov; and that a
policy decision was made several years ago to keep it at dhat level, as the raeionale was if the custorner
was not eliminating a sepcie t<ink, they should not get the subsidy for it but shoulcl pay the full cost for tllc
capaeiCy, and at t.hat time it was $25 10; iind now that they have Co use higher technqlogy, the calculated
rate if it wcre the full cost, would be $3632 for new development. Commissioner Richard adclcd Ghat this
is somediing tthey wrould Like Council's input on; as one could argue that drastit; changes could be a cause
of coneern fnr those not yet conncctecl to the sewer as to why they are paying a dii-ferent rate, but the
argument could be madc as to why dhey are diseussinb increasing the GFC for nther new connections, as
the new teehnology is being paid for, the new 170E, the new federal rec,uirements, ancl thaf all of this
cutti.ng-edge technology cost's more dhen what people who previously signed on with die STEP program
were paying; and befora any decisions are made conccrning rates, Commissioner Rich2rd said they are
seeking CounciPs Feeclback. NIr. 1Zawls said t:hat rtite options are includecl in an upcoming slide, bu[ that
[his ciiscusses the cast of senliee praposals, and oncc tMat. is detennined, there arE; numerous adjustments '
that ean be macle based on policy decisions.
Ms. Sa.nehez cnntinued the presentation, incliiding the summttry of capita) costs shown on slide 12, whieh
show an estimated total e<ipital costs duricig the ye<-trs 2007 throuoh 2016, of $259,000. In response to
Councilmember Munson's question asking for further discussion of the Saltese Flttts Wetlands Projects,
Ivlr. ftawls said there is an interest in pursuinb aequisition of land i.n that area wit:h the possibility of .
restoring wctl3nd, which could be a future site ior affluent disposal; and chlt project Nvas ineluded beaause
iF the praje.ct is going to occur, funds will be necesstuy. Commissioner Riehard added that this leads to
the possibility of rcchargin~ the aquifer, vld kceping some of the afflucnt out of the river, bul this project
has not becn decided. T'lle topic of growch rate came up, and TVIr. Rawls said that the figures used on
these projections are based can a mecliiim groNvth rate oF:iPproximately 1. 1% per year; and if chat bro'.yrth
rale is not achieved, then we don't get the aencrt►l facilities charges anticipated, wliich means monthly
eates for cveryone else would have Ca be increasecl to cover the debt service. iMr, ltawls also mcntioned
builcting a safety factor inlo the model, which wilt be a major palicy decision, as there is a$10 million
placeholder Por Nvater reclamation; and if the b•eatment plant price were to increase by 10%, they would
examinc whether they wanted Co spend $10 million an water i-eclamation, ar divert thosc funds to the
plant ancl do away with the rcclamation in lieu of raising the rates evcn higher; and he again stressed that
would be a rrtajor policy decision. N1r. Itawls also statctl that these figures are not ba,sed on today's .
clollars, but are a best esCimated, inflated figure.
Councilmember Munson askecl regarding the capital costs; that he understands therc are numerous reserve
funds, and he asked what is the capacity of thosc funds to compensate for the unexpectecl increases in
construction cost's. Mr. Rawls said that the financial model assunies we would dra«< clown all of the ,
reserves to the lowest limit. Councilmember Vtunson responded that it appears one of the options to discuss is raising the CI;R/G.FC charges to keep the monthly charge at a lower level for everyone else.
Slide 16 discussed "lon-Point Source Funding," and Ibfr. Itawls saicl lhat another poi.nC ro consider is, do

we consider non-point sources a regional issue and not an issue only to be borne by wasCewater
cusl:Urncrs; wllich dECision could go in any direction. Aeputy vlayor Taylor asked abouc lhose options,
and if everyorie in the Cdunty could be charged the $.98 ERU monthly f'ee. Mr. Rawls said that his
choice would be a fonuula that determines all the people who contribute to non-point sources of
poLluCion, tlien allacate that cost <<cross them; and have it based on a fce stnicture r?ted to how mueh they
contributed, perhaps by size of land or other ways.
v1s. Sanchez mentioned that a consideration up f'or discussion is the low-ineorne, senior, disabled
cliscount; which the county is considering for the monthly sewer eharges; that the eligibility will Ue tied to
the city property tax exemption which is based on income less thwi $35,000, must be the pmperty owner,
and agc 62 or disablcd; and thal the discount would be funded by existing rate payers; tind of the
alternatives thcy considerecl, they are recommending a 30% discount which would show a rate dECreaSe
from $33.47 to $23.83. Ms. Sanchez said there are approximately 2,500 custamers eligible; and that this
would re,sult in a.a6¢ monehly irtcrease in the single-family rate; and about 1.7% increzise in all the oGher •
rates. Mr. Rawls said t:his discount has heen under discussion for over a year, and that they realized a'
major rate.acljustment woulci bc necessary, and it was felt t6at the best way lo handle thal would be to
implemenC both at the same time so lhat the seninrsJdisabled wnulcl not get a discount immecliately
folloNved by a rare inerease; anci in putting this cogcther, the bill has very little change. Cnmmissioner
Richard asked Mr. Rawls iF there was the notion of giving autonoiily to the City to set its own rates, and
whether Chis is a policy issue that could he bifurcated beCwcen a County and a City pnlicy, or is it Mr.
Rawl's anticipation that whatever the raies are, they will be consiseent across the boarcl? Mr. Kawls said
they have tried to keep rates consistcnt across the scrvice area; t,hat it is possible to have different rates,
but diat ,vould be adminislratively more eYpensive, a.nd could cause coneern if general facility charges
were set difFerent a[ different plaees, as developers would choose cieveloNment pattern5 accorctingly; and
if they were to consider bifurcated rates, an entire new analysis would bc required to deterrnine the
(D eligible people, as 20-25% of the customers are outside the Spokane Valley city limits. Commissioner
R.ichard addecf khat this is an important discussion which needs to talce place, concerning Che entire
"balanairig" issue; subsidies, discounts, etc., and thal the Commissioners will look co the Cit), for ics
viewpoint to discuss the needs of the Spokane Vallcy citizens.
In resp4nse to Councilmember Munson's quest'ion about dhe general overhead costs, vlr. Rawls said t}hat
t}iey don't break out general ove•rhead, but sirnply calculate the actual revenue requiremenc; anct that an
analysis was completed previously for N1r. Itersten a ycar or more ago, and Nlr. ltawls said he coulct
rescai-ch those statistics; and that it is his understanding that clifferent parts of the County operate at
diFTerent overhead rates; and Chat they had an out,side consultant conduct an eftieiency study about five or
six years ago; and they measured up a;ainst every o[licr major wastewater utiliry in the noi-ihwest.
Deputy Mayor Taylor added that we want to make sure our intes are reasanable and aFfordxble to our
citizens; and Cpuncilmember Munson saici that assuming the COunty will own and opsrate the f'aeility,
somediing to consider is whether i[ might be moro efticient to develhp a public utility c(istrict; and even in
the Iast Goveiziance Committee, the topie of discussion was, wlilt is the most efficient way to bring the
seivice to the cQmmunity, who will run it, hbw wil] it Ue run, and Mow will we pay {'or it; a.nd thal he fcels
this important discussion should take nlaee and such cliscussion could cake place in a parallel course.
Taepury Mayor Taylor stated that the top priorit:y is getting the plan on line, it makes sense for the County
to take ibis on; and thal it was his Lmderstanding we were not going to falk about assumptions, but we•re
going to look at other options, perhaps something more regional.
Commissioner Kichard said that he is uncertain we could get Mr. Kersten to agree with the asse•rtion that
overhcad is in the 50-70% range and hard to get accountability for; that comparing thesc rates with other
juris<lictions, the rates are extremely competitive I:eeping in mind the cutting-edge teehnoloQy and ihat
this system will be the envy of others; thaC the titne for havin", that parallel cliscussion shoultl havc
occurred (ong a;o; and if Spokane Valley doesn't want tn parlicipate, the County oeeds to know as this
model is built upon service of 70% of those providers in the Spokane Valley's boundary. Councilmember
iMunson said he feels the rates are reasonable; but he fecls now is the time to liave the Governance

Committee meet and discuss the options, using what we have as a madel from which to begin those
discussions. i
City Manager Mercier asked what would the discount rate have to be if the object was to shield the
protected class from the uicrcased rites, but maint<iininC the eurrenc rate oF $27.68, as opposeci to
rec;jucing that cost approximately $4.00 per month? iMr. Rawls answered that discoutit rate would be an
estimated 20%. Councilmember 17eVleming said that rate would be more in line with what he is lool:ing
- for, as the 20% would help stabilize the raies for that procected class without putting aciditional burden an
the other ratepayers. Tn response to how the $35,000 income level was selected (see slide 20), Mr. Rawls
said there is a program which deals with property times, and includes criteria such as over age 62, and less
thari S35,000 income; and using that criteria would keep it easier in dctcrmiriinD elioibility for this
project; vnd if that threshnld were to change, it woiild change this analysis likewise, if it was decided to
slay with t.hat eligibility crit:eria. .
vls. Siinehez saicl thaC the rate sCucly should be completecf early July; there will be public meetings Ivlay 16
and 17; a public hearing August 14; and i-ate implementation set for.lanuary l, 2003. ~f.r. Rawls saict the •
purpose of tonight's meeting was not to have Council make any decisions, but to have dialogue on the
concerns and see if lhere were any areas t-hey mibht have missed in their presentation; and that the Board
will look for input betwecn now and August 14. Mayor Wilhite asked if it is pnssible not to have the
public hearing on a Tuesday everting a,s it would prevent them from aelending due to council meetings.
Mr. Rawls said that would be at the discretion of the Board; and Comrnissioncr .R.ichard said he would
look intq the nossibility of chanaing t:hat to anot:her night, iind will bring that suggestion to the Board's
attention.
Mr. Mereier saicl t:here are four polieies icienlifed for Council to discuss [I-charges for general facilitics,
monthly ERU, and non-point source funding; 2-STEP cost~s; 3-inclucling a safety factor in[o the model; .
4-senior/olher discoumt (20%)]; and he asked if tklere Nvere other policy issucs to inclucfe, such as _
bifurc.ation. Commissioner R.ichard said some[hinc, else to consider is the Ef'tU and hqw that Affects
mobile homes, or commercial and industrial businesscs; tuid that they are open to examinin; other
. oplion5, SuggEStions, or models; and that Mr. RaNvls said that it would be be;nef cial tn hear any
suggestions hY the enct oC May, as something new wnuld likely require additional research or analysis.
Councilmember Munson asked what pcrcentaoe of our population tal:e advantage of the CDBG
(Community Development Block Grant) fiinds; and asked if there wcre a eap on thosc fiinds.
Councilmcmber Gothmann mentioned T'im Crowley as a source for that itiformation. kMr. Mercier said
that we are aware of the suspension of a County rule which would have required those in the STEP to
make a conriection wiCtiin nvelve rnonths qP intitallation of t.he line; and he asked if the applicable capital
facilit:ies r,it:e; wroulcl be the year they connect or tkie year tlieir neighborhoocl wa,s scrviecd? Iv1.r. Itawls
said when that policy for mandatory connection was suspended, the met:hnd of trig„ering the payment of
capital Facilit:ies rates was no1: chanoed; so iFcttey were in the 2007 program year; a notice would bc sent
to dlerii once the sewer is cornpleted, telling the:m 1:11ey c.in Pay a lump sum or pay over a 20 year periqd;
<1nd also tell t:he.m t:he*sewer is aviiil<ible and they can connect uo«< or when their septic tank fails; or in the
future a notice will be sent to them making it mandatoty fo eonnec;t.
Connnissioner Richard added that it is their pref.'crence to keep the monthly increase to the user to no
more than 510.00; wid that will be a future policy decision whether to include inject'ion, reclamation and
alternative treatment options; and that such a project would am4unt to ten million dollars or more, ancl he
woulci appreciate Council feedback nn that issue as well. Mr. Richard also statotl that the present model
of the plarit is a design-built madel, ancl that the RF(2 (request for quotes) has been issuecl far letters oF
inquiry on diat modeL Mr. Rawls adclecl that the Saltese is a lonj-ranare projeet. '
Viayor Wilhite thankcd Mr. R.awls far the presentatinn, and Commissicmers for thcir time and assist•ance; _
and saict that Council will get feedback to the Commissioners regarding the policy issues; and look
fonvard to Icarning of a hearing clate of other lhan a Tuesday so Councilmembers can attend.

economic development eff-oris; and it is becomino mare prevalent and more expected; that he realizes
tllere is a financial consideration, bul: there are also cost savings, and he encourajes the City to paiticipatc
and work with neiehboring communities to make it a success. Project Coordinator I3rooks said he sees

Councilmember DeVleming askcd Nvhy there are no real cstale firnis as part»ers; and Ms. '1'odi responded
that thcy determined that their rcal estale members would have aceess to the site at no cost to dle.m as the
rcaltors are already puttinn information onto the sitc; that perhaps it is not the best partne.rship as she
aoreecl it does open a wholc new market for them; but that the facus is to keep items available f'or the
puUlic and to have a regional model; and there is the possibility nf including them as partners in the
future. Ntr. i3otfelli added that most of those realCors already have listings on their own websites, and that
this is mnre of a ccntralizecl website; and Ufr. VanEssen said diat if this is successful, they can broker a

but has a t3iEFicult time anprovinb iC and might be rnore inclined if the City red«ced the arnount of money

said he has some concerns Nvith the way the site is struCtured, and feels Council is being painted into a
corner and will look bad and leave a hole if the City does not participate; and that he would support

Spokane County Library laistrict llirector Vlike Wirt introduced Board Member Mary Lloyd; and then
distributed a copy of the "Prc design for Spokane Valley Libray" for counc•il to shiire among them. t~s
Mr. Wi_rt went throuch his PowerPoint presentation, lic discussed 2006 highlights, what is new for 2007,
such as inereased open haurs aaid on-line card regish-ation; what they havc already aceomplished for the
Library projoct includina project preluninary pre-desiyn,' and projecte(f project and Caxpayer cost; wliat's
' coming up nexl'; and moving forward. AM. Wirt added that the 13oard will approve the final pre-design
• with any changes macle as a result of public input received during June; and he mentioned proposing the
~ creation of a library capital facility area which will define the b4unda.ries and start the process for the
peoplc to vote on the issues; ancl if such Area Nvere to be fornied, they would need Council approval
befarehand and prior to Uecember 14 to get the rnatter on the Pebruary ballot. Mr. \'Jirt stressed that
citiiens are very c.oncerned with the library's possible ]acation, but feels merely slating the libriry could
be placed in the "city center" is not enough det<til. Mr. Mercier responded lhaf arly response to
approximate the timeline to establish the site Por a city center would be premahire at this point; and iliat
while Council can control the time table for the city center project; we must keep in mind that critical
deeision making required is await.iiig data council needed, includinD outreach to property owners; tlhat we
could always express a cleadline, but the sit:e question is a difficult quest,ion as there are many itenis to
evaluate. NIr. Wirt said that the tliree laege issues facing the library are (1) the current facility c:an't meet
the needs of the people and the people keep tclling diem tha[; (2) construcCion cost increases; and (3) the
election cfalc wtiich should occur in 2008. Cnuneilrnembers eapressed their desire to see this partni:rship
happen as it will henefit everyone.
7. Ordinance De6niCions - Carv 17riskell
Deputy City Attorney l7riske.ll explained that as stlff has used and tunended various Code peovisions,
thcy have repeatedly addressed whether to ineludc the phrase "as audiorized by the City Manager oe
designee," or simply "as audiorized by the City Manager." Mr. 17riskell said that the definition will be
included in litle 1 including the word "designee," and if there is ever an ins[ance where that is not the
c-ase, such will be noted. Additionally, Mr. Driskell said that as the Code has evolved, we have movetl
from listing defitiitions by niimber to liseing definitions aIphabetically, which makes amendments easier
as it eliminates the need to renumber the entire sequence each time a clefinition is addecl or changed.
Tllere was Council consensus to move this ordinance forward, and if possible, inclucle it on the next
Cnnsent Agenda.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 1.01.070
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Study session May 8, 2007
BACKGROUND: As staff has utilized and amended various Code provisions, we have
repeatedly addressed an issue regarding authorization provided from the Council to the City
Manager, and whether that should or should not say "city manager or designee". The answer is almost uniformly in the affirmative that it should be interpreted as including "or designee". As such, it would be appropriate to include a definition in 1.01.070, the general definition section
~ of our Code. In making that draft change, I noted an additional change that appears to be
appropriate. As the Code has evolved since incorporation, we have moved away from listing
definitions by number and alphabetizing, to listing them alphabetically. This makes
amendments much easier because we don't have to renumber the entire sequence each time.
OPTIONS: Suggest changes to the draft ordinance; move to a second reading; suspend the
n.iles, move to a second reading and adopt at this meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: "I move that we suspend the rules and adopt
Ordinance 07-409 as drafted."

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Appleway Extension, MTP Request
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Info Memo to Council dated May 3, 2007
BACKGROUND:
Over the past year city staff has been working with a team of consultants on the .
development of a subarea plan for the development of a City Center and the economic
revitalization of the Sprague/Appleway corridor. An integral part of this work evaluated
the existing transportation network and identified proposed recommendations to support
~ the revitalization efforts.,
~ J On March 1, 2007 the consultant team Presented to CitY Council and Planning
Commission members their land use and transportation recommendations. Three
important elements of the transportation recommendations included:
1) The extension of Appleway Avenue from University Road to beyond Sullivan
Road as a two-lane, two-way residential boulevard,
2) The reduction of Sprague Avenue from seven lanes to five lanes east of
University Road, and
3) The conversion of the existing one-way couplet between Argonne
RoadlDishman-Mica Road and University Road to two two-way streets.
The general consensus of the City Council and Planning Commission members was to
have the consultant proceed with the development of the remainder of the subarea plan
based on their recommendations for land use and transportation network.
In anticipation of the subarea plan being completed with the three transportation elements described above, Public Works staff recommends that a request be forwarded
to the Spokane Regional Transportation Gouncil (SRTC) to include these
recommendations in the 2007 update of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) for
2030 currently being developed by SRTC staff. ~ Staff believes the recommendations from the subarea plan consultants as described
above and the process used in developing these recommendations meet the required
Regional Transportation Goals and Policies as outlined in the current MTP.
In order to pursue transportation grants to help fund these projects, they must be
included in the MTP. Requesting this MTP amendment now for the Sprague/Appleway
corridor puts the city in a position to begin developing transportation grant applications;
one of which could be to the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) due at the end of
August this year.
The SRTC Transportation Manager and been briefed on this and has indicated
agreement with moving forward with the MTP request. OPTIONS: 1) Direct staff to move forward with putting the extension of Appleway Avenue on
the Metropolitan Transportation Plan, or 2) provide additional direction to staff
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Motion to direct staff to move forward with a
request to SRTC to have the extension of Appleway Avenue east of University Road
amended into the 2007 update of the Spokane Metropolitan Transportation Plan, based
on the preliminary recommendations of the SpraguelAppleway Revitalization Plan,
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There are no budget impacts associated with fhis request to
SRTC. We will continue Ro evaluate the costs and financial impacts associated with the .
Appleway project as we continue to move forward with the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization
Plan.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion consideration - Solid Waste, Washington Utilities and
Transportation Commission Notice
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.02.160, RCW 81.77 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Study session April 17, 2007.
BACKGROUND: At incorporation, the City was served by Waste Management for residential
solid waste (garbage) collection, and Waste Management and Sunshine for commercial
collection. The mechanism for doing so was a certificate from the Washington Utilities and
Transportation Commission (WUTC). This certificate continues forward indefinitely unless
affiRnative steps are taken by a city after incorporation.
~ As previously identified, the Council instructed staff in 2003 to notify the WUTC that the City was
terminating the certificate. That did not occur, and the seven year clock never started. As such,
the Council should indicate by motion what it would like to do at this time.
The options for Council consideration are as follows:
1. Do nothing and WUTC will continue to regulate solid waste collection under a state
certificate; or
2. Buy out the existing providers and take over; or
3. Terminate the certificate and grant a contracf under which.the City would be the
regulatory lead; or
4. Terminate the certificate and grant a franchise under which the WUTC would continue
to be the regulatory lead.
Based upon the information available, it appears the Council previously chose option 4 in 2003.
Please' advise whether that is still the preferred option, and staff will prepare a preliminary natice
of intent that would be sent to WUTC, Sunshine and Waste Management. Assuming option 4 is
chosen, staff would then draft franchise agreements that maintain the status quo for righfs and
obligations the haulers have under the WUTC certificate. This - would be a place-holder
agreement until either a new agreement is reached (explained two paragraphs below), or until
seven years expires. After the franchises are signed, the City would provide the more formal notice of termination of
the WUTC certificates to the WUTC, with copies to Sunshine and Waste Management. This
action (having new franchises coupled with the written notice of cancellat'ion to WUTC) would
officially start the seven year clock.
After these actions were completed, staff could then identify with particularity the various options
the City Council may want to consider in negotiations with both haulers. If we are able to come
to mutual agreement on new terms, we could sign a new agreement that would replace the
seven year place-holder agreements.
As part of the adoption process for the two franchises, the staff will also seek authorization to send the final cancellation notice to WUTC to complete the required actions, thus starting the
seven year clock.
OPTIONS: 1. Do nothing and WUTC will continue to regulate solid waste collection under a
state certificate; or 2. Buy out the existing providers and take over; or
3. Terminate the certificate and grant a contract under which the City would be
the regulatory lead; or
4. Terminate the certificate and grant a franchise under which the 1NUTC would
continue to be the regulatory lead.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: "I move that we chose option 4, and authorize staff to
send a letter to the Washington Utilities Transportation Commission giving preliminary notice of
the intent to terminate the certificates, and to draft and discuss status quo franchises with
Sunshine and Waste Management to haul for seven years."
Please note: Consideration and adoption of the status quo franchises, as well as rinal approval
to send the termination notice to the WUTC, will require additional Council action. .
BUDGETIFINANCIAL IMPACTS: None in the short term, unknown long term.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report - Panhandling regulation updates
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Wash. Const. art. I, sec. 5; Wash. Const. art. IX, sec. 11; SVMC
' 8.25.020.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None.
BACKGROUND: Upon incorporation, the City considered possibilities for regulating
panhandling within _the City. Staff determined that panhandling is a form of constitutionally
protected expression, and as such is granted strong protection from government regulations.
However, Staff determined that the City could regulate aggressive and threatening panhandling
in order to protect its citizens, and accordingly the City adopted Spokane Valley Municipal Code
(SVMC) section 8.25.020, entitled "Aggressive Begging." This section prohibits begging that
threatens or intimidates pedestrians or motorists.
Due to recent complaints by citizens about the proliferation of panhandlers, Staff has revisited
the issue to detennine whether there are alternative means to regulate panhandling.
There are three options that likely meet constitutional requirements:
1. Promote a public awareness campaign to encourage other means of charitable
contributions and discourage donating to individual panhandlers; or ' 2. Expand the definition of °aggressive begging" to include other behaviors such as
fraud, exploitation of children, or obstruction of traffic with intent to intimidate; or
3. Continue enforcement of SVMC 8.25.020.
1. The first option is not a control on panhandling, but rather a public awareness campaign to
encourage other means of charitable contributions and discourage donating to individual
panhandlers. This method would be the most effective in the long term because it seeks to
eliminate the problem at its source rather than simply make panhandling illegal. There are
several possibilities for disseminating information that could include large signs, pamphlets, and
other media responses, but all would contain the same message indicating hovd people might
help by donating to established charities rather than panhandlers. Additionally, this campaign
could be combined with various other methods for working with local businesses to promote the
use of vouchers and contribution collection areas. This type of campaign has been effective
when combined with increased patrols to enforce panhandling regulations. Additionally, this type
~ •
of campaign minimizes City liability because there would be no restriction of any protected
i
activity. A public awareness campaign would also alleviate some citizen concems by informing
the public about the truth behind panhandling, as well as make sure that those who are truly
needy receive the money.
2. The second option expands the definition of "aggressive begging". Expansions could include
obstructing pedestrian or vehicular movement, the use of fraud, or the exploitation of children.
Several cities have had obstruction provisions, but a recent court case indicated that unless the
. obstruction occurred with the intent to intimidate, such a provision would not be enforceable.
Thus, the City could include obstruction w'rth the intent to intimidate under Aggressive Begging.
Cities have also included the use of fraudulent or misleading information and the exploitation of
children in their definitions of "aggressive begging." However, all three of these possibilities
suffer from fhe same problem as the current aggressive begging provision in that they are very
difficult to enforce. Proving fraud, exploitation of children, and intent to intimidate is very difficult
and would not add much to the cuRent provision.
3. The third option allows the City to continue enforcement of the aggressive begging statute.
Additionally, there are two options that would require a strong factual basis to provide a
significant government interest in order to meet constitutional muster. At this time, the City has
not done the necessary fact finding to support either option. These options are:
1. Adopt regulations restricting soliciting funds in designated areas and designated
times; or
2. Adopt regulations to prevent drivers from donating to panhandlers while driving.
1. Although panhandling is a protected expression, the City may still place reasonable time,
place, and manner restrictions on speech when there is a significant government interest at
stake. The City may adopt a provision that restricts all solicitations in designated Iocations at ~designated times. However, this type of law must be narrowly tailored to meet a significant government interest and must be content neutral. In order to be content neutral, the law must
restrict all solicitations regardless of their source (i.e., both charitable organizations and
panhandling). The City must provide actual support demonstrating that traffic and pedestrian
safety and flow is being adversely impacted by solicitations, and cannot rely on mere aesthetic
impact_ Depending on what the factual support shows, this law may be narrowly drawn to only
prevent solicitations to occupants of vehicles or only in certain locations, such as specific
intersec#ions or near bus zones. Because of this requirement, most cities have not attempted
such regulation. Staff found only one city in Washington that had passed such a law. Tacoma
recently passed an ordinance that prohibits persons from soliciting money from occupants in
vehicles (stopped or traveling) unless the vehicles are legally parked. Staff has contacted
Tacoma to determine fhe intricacies of the Tacoma law. While this law is much stronger than
the current "aggressive begging" provision, there are several drawbacks. First, because of the
nature of panhandling, issuing citations will not have a major impact on preventing panhandling.
Additionally, putting panhandler's in jail may be expensive and will only provide a limited cure to
. the problem. Finally, because of the nature of the complaints to the City that focus on the
aesthetics, research may show that there simply is not the significant interest in traffic and
pedestrian safety to allow such a law.
2. The fourth option does not control panhandling, but regulates drivers from obstructing traffic
by donating* from their cars. Staff could not find any other cities attempting this type of
regulation. The regulation would make it illegal to donate from a car that is ~traveling (whether
stopped at a light or otherwise) on the right of way. However, because of the expressive nature -
of panhandling recognized by the courts, presumptively the same logic would apply to the act of .
donating. Thus, this regulation would have to be narrowly tailored and serve a significant .
government interest. The City would need to demonstrate strong facts demonstrating actual •
safety concerns for pedestrian and vehicular traffic, as well as demonstrable flow obstruction.
As an additional concern, this regulation intrudes upon the very citizens who want panhandling
stopped.
OPTIONS: 1. Promote a public awareness campaign to encourage other means of
charitable contributions and discourage donating to individual
panhandlers; or
2. Expand the definition of °aggressive begging" to include other
behaviors such as fraud, exploitation of children, or obstruction of traffic
with intent to intimidate; or
3. Continue enforcement of SVMC 8.25.020.
Conduct the necessary fact finding to determine whether solicitations from right-
of-ways have an actual effect on traffic and pedestrian safety and flow. After this
research; the City may:
1. Adopt regulations restricting soliciting funds in designated areas and
designated times; or
2. Adopt regulations to prevent drivers from donating to panhandlers
while driving. ,
~ RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please advise Staff which optron(s) Council desires to pursue so
that Staff may compile detailed informatian regarding those options.
BUDGETlFINANCIAL IMPACTS: Cannot be determined at this time.

Memorandum
To: David Mercier, City Manager and Members of City Council
From: Scott Kuhta, Senior Planner
CC: Nina Regor, Deputy City Manager
Date: May 22, 2007 . Re: Sprague/Appieway Revitalization Plan Update
This memorandum reviews the schedule for adoption of the Sprague/Appieway
Revitalization Plan and presents considerations for developing an implementation program.
The Subarea Plan will provide a policy framework for revitalization. It will also be a regulating document, one that will introduce Form Based Zoning to the Spokane region.
Plan Adoption Schedule The Sprague/Appieway Revitalization Plan is scheduled for delivery to City staff by the end
of May, 2007. This "administrative draft" will be reviewed and edited as necessary to ensure ~
consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and local vernacular.
Once staff review is complete, the Draft Sprague/Appieway Revitalization Plan will be
available for public rev.iew. A public involvement and education program will be developed
to ensure interested parties have sufficient opportunity to review and comment on the Dratt
Subarea Plan. Public hearings before the Planning Commission will likely take place in late summer 2007,
with Council hearings in early fall. The final plan is anticipated to be adopted by the end of
2007.
The Subarea Plan will include 3 sections; titled as follows:
Book 9: Community Infent and Guiding Piriicrples - Describes the community's vision
and the intended outcomes.
Book 2: DevelopmEnt Regulaiions - Establishes new form based regulations for
development, including site layout, landscaping, parking, signage and
architectural standards.
Book 3: Cify Acfions - Proposes capital improvements and other actions the City should
consider for plan implementation.
Form based codes are beginning to take hold in many parts of the Country, but they are
unfamiliar to most of Spokane's public and private planners and developers. Traditional zoning focuses on segregating different types of land uses, making it nearly impossible to mix residential with higher intensity commercial and office uses. Form based codes are
much more flexible with regard to the use of property but more restrictive on how buildings
loofc and are located on the land.
The main purpose of adopting a form based code is "to achieve a specific urban form...by
controlling the physical form of development, with lesser focus on the actual use of land.
Form based codes address the relationship between building facades and the public realm,
the form and mass of buildings in relation to one another and the scale and types of streets
and blocks° (Form Based Codes Institute).
' Representatives from Freedman, Tung and Bottomley (FTB) will conduct a staff orientation
session on June 7. This orientation session is the final consultant deliverable under the
SpraguelAppleway Revitalization Plan contract. Council may consider optional consuftant
services provided by FTB to assist the City through the plan adoption process. The extra
consuttant services would include support for City Council and Planning Commission during
the public hearing process. FfB would be available to Council for study sessions andlor to
_ attend hearings and respond to technical questions. The extra services may also include
editing the plan document as directed by Planning Commission and Council. The plan
document will include a large number of graphics and FTB has more expertise than City
staff in graphic design and document layout. A preliminary estimate for extra services
ranges betwesn $35,000 and $45,000. Environmental Review
Community Development staff will prepare a Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (DSEIS) to rneet the requirements of the Sfate Environmental Policy Act. The .
DSEIS builds on environmental analysis completed as a part of the Spokane Valley
Comprehensive Plan adoption. Citizens will be able to review the environmental documents
concurrently with the review of the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan.
Subarea Plan Implementation -Steps Underway
As previously mentioned, the draft Revitalization Plan will include a section titled "Planned
City Actions", which are actions the City could consider taking to implement the goals and
vision of the plan.
Citv Center Proiect
Early in the SpraguelAppleway Revitalization Plan process, Michael Freedman
recommended to Council the east side of University Road betevesn Sprague and fappleway
as the preferred location to start a City Center. Freedman asked Council if they concurred
and Council unanimously directed the planning team to begin analyzing the feasibility of
starting the City Center at that focation. Freedman suggested 3 options to pursue the
development of a City Center:
1_ Master plan and zone the preferred site for and then wait for the market to respond.
2. Master plan and zone the preferred site and the "stimulate" developer interested by
constructing civic buildings and/or other capital improvements such as streets,
sidewalks and parks.
3. Master plan and zone the preferred site, assemble the property by purchase or
option, market the city center plan to developers through a competitive Request for
Proposals (RFP) process and then resell the property to the selected developer.
.1 .
Council expressed an interest in exploring Option 3. To that end, Michael Freedman
suggested that the City would be best served by hiring a consultant with expertise in real
estate negotiations and creating public/private partnerships. City Council authorized staff to -
issue an RFQ for City Center consulting services, not to exceed $50,000. ; After issuing the RFQ and interviewing 3 qualified consulting teams, the City enterzd into an
agreement for consultant services with ClearPath, LLC. The City decided to split the
contract into two phases, with the fist phase totaling $15,000. Tasks to be completed under
, the initial contract with ClearPath include clarifying the City's intentions and defining a
strategy to securing land for the City Center. ClearPath will identify barriers to success and
will outline opportunities for CounciPs direct involvement if a higher role in developing a City
Center is desired.
On May 8-9, ClearPath, LLC, conducted interviews with City Council, staff and property
owners in order to begin aligning the interests of all parties and to understand how easy, or
difificult, it will be to assemble the property. ClearPath is schedule to complete their tasks
under the current contract by July 1, 2007, including a written progress report io staff and
Council. However, a report should be available prior to the May 22, 2007, City Council
meeting.
After discussions with Council, ClearPath and staff will prepare a contract and Scope of
Work for the second phase of their project, which will include more detailed discussions and
possible negotiations with property owners.
Michael Freedman also recommended that the City consider hiring a consultant to provide a
"second opinion° on the viability of creating a mixed-use City Center at Sprague and
University.
Bob Gibbs is a highly sought-after expert on retail and mixed-use development, particularly -
in downtowns and new Town Center developments. The City has contracted with him for
initial services totaling $7,500. Gibbs will review the planning assumptions, maricet data and
City Center master plan prepared by Freedman and ECONorthwest and will provide
feedback on the master plan design. He will also conduct a preliminary retail rnarket study
based on an estimated trade boundary.
The market study will indicate the amount of surplus and leakage retail spending by
business type, including restaurants, grocery stores, apparel, etc. This work will provide
needed information for Council to use to determine how aggressively to pursue the
development of a City Center.
A multi-departmental staff team has been meeting regularly to direct the work program for
the City Center project, including Mike Connelly, Neil Kersten, Greg McCormick, Nina Regor
and Scott Kuhta.
Subarea Plan Implementation -Additional Steps
Following is a summary of some other tasks the City could undertake to impfement the
Revitalization Plan.
Cifv Center EIS/Planned Action Ordinance
The Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) allows jurisdictions to prepare a
detailed Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Planned Action Ordinance for smaller
geographic areas, such as the proposed City Center, as a part of the Subarea Plan ~
development process. A Planned Action Ordinance is a thorough environmental review of -
potential environmental impacts within a defined area at the planning stage in order to
determine the potential impacts of development in advance of said development.
~ .
This environmental review reduces permit-processing time, saves developers the cost of preparing project specific environmental documents, and creates certainty for developers by
identifying project mitigation requirements in advance of development proposafs.
Planned Action Ordinances require a significant upfront cost by the local jurisdictions as the
work is typically done by a private consulting firm. Preparing an EIS/Planned Action
Ordinance for the City Center will likely cost the City around $150,000.
Auto Row The Subarea Plan will include action items for implementing the vision for the gateway
cornmercial area (auta-row). An implementation plan for this area should have the input
from the auto dealers and City Council may consider funding a catalyst project, one that
shows the auto dealers that the City is serious about strengthening their position and
visibility as a regional destination for automobile purchases.
Capital Improvements -
The Subarea Plan will include a prioritized list of capital improvements that are considered
necessary to successfully revitalize the corridor. The plan will include a proposed phasing
schedule to create a complete two-way system for Sprague and Appleway. Initial projects
will include the extension of Appleway east of University to Evergreen and turning Sprague
and Appleway into a two-way system around the proposed City Center. The Draft
~ Revitalization Plan will not include cost estimates for proposed capital improvements.
Once the plan is adopted, City staff will prepare capital cost estimates and phasing
schedules for Council's consideration. City Council will consider capital programming for the
Sprague/Appleway corridor in balance with the needs for capital improvements throughout
the City. Adoption of the Revitalization Plan will put the City in good position to compete for
s{aecial grants and loan programs, such as Washington State's Community Economic
Revitalization Board (CERB) grants.
Development Incentives
A significant part of any redevelopment plan is to identify various tools and programs that
can used to expedite new development. Tools such as Tax Increment Financing (TIF) and
Mutli-Family Tax abatement districts have been used throughout the state to successfully
spark desired development; they have also perFormed poorly for some jurisdictions. Such
programs require careful, thorough analysis and public scrutiny before they are
implemented.
Public Education
Once the Subarea Plan is adopted, there will be an initial need to provide education and
training oppor#unities for property owners, developers, pnvate engineers and designers so
that they know the new requirements for developing in the SpraguelAppleway corridor. ,
