AGENDA ITEM TITLE: PUBLIC HEARING: Draft 2008- 2013 Transportation Improvement
Program (TIP)
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.77.010, Perpetual advanced six-year plans for
coordinated transportation program expenditures.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adopted 2007-2012 Six Year TIP last year on June
13, 2006, Resolution #06-013. Public Hearing on proposed Amended 2007 TIP on March 27,
2007. Adopted Amended 2007 TIP on May 22, 2007, Resolution #07-007. Presentation of draft
2008-2012 Six Year TIP at Council's May 1, 2207 Study Session.
BACKGROUND: The City is required by RCW 35.77.010 to prepare and after public hearing
adopt a revised and extended comprehensive transportation program for the ensuing six
calendar years. This plan must be submitted to the Washington State Secretary of
Transportation before July Vt of each year.
The attached draft 2008 - 2013 Six Year TIP has been revised from the one presented at the
May 1 Study Session. The state and federal grant funding levels available each year were
reviewed and the number of projects was reduced to meet those levels. We also looked at the
priority of the projects and tried to keep the local funds (City Amount) to approximately $3 million
per year.
These factors caused many projects to get 'bumped' off the six year plan and onto a new list at
the end of the TIP entitled "Projects w/ no identified Local Match within the Six Year TIP."
These are still important projects but other funding sources will need to be identified before they
can be included in the Six Year TIP.
Note also that we are still waiting to learn if several of our FTA 5307 grant applications will get
funded through the SRTC Call for Projects. Depending on the results of the FTA issue, the TIP
May change again. Therefore, this draft should still be considered a 'work in progress' and may
be updated prior to adoption scheduled for June 26, 2007.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The proposed 2008-2013 TIP projects will be budgeted
within the Street Capital Projects Fund, which has the revenue resources to accommodate the
proposed TIP projects through 2011. At the current level of projected revenues not all projects
in years 2011 and 2012 can be funded at this time. Staff will continue.to re-evaluate the
projects in these later years as we continue to prepare future TIPs.

Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ® public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Quasi-Judicial, Closed Record Hearing: Austin Hearing Examiner Appeal
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Ordinance 05-021, Guidelines for Appeals
BACKGROUND: On March 22, 2007, Janice Austin timely filed and paid for an appeal of the Hearing
Examiner decision regarding Valley Coach Estates.
The complete transcript and record were supplied to the City Clerk April 26, 2007. The City Clerk was
notified May 1, 2007 that the appellant Janice Austin paid all fees in full. On May 1, 2007, the City Clerk
forwarded copies of the complete transcript and record to the Applicant Pete Buster, the City Attorney, and
members of Council.
The Hearing Examiner supplied the complete transcript and record.,the_appellant paid the balance, and on
May 8, 2007, Council set for the matter for a hearing for June 5, 2007. 'Notice of the time, place and date of
the hearing were published in the City's official newspaper (Valley News-Herald), on May 18, 25, and June
1; and on May 11, 2007, the City Clerk mailed notice of the hearing to the appellant, the applicant, and all
parties of record.
As per Spokane Valley City Ordinance 05-021, Council shall not consider any new facts or evidence'outside
the verbatim transcript and certified record submitted by the Examiner, except for:
1. Grounds for disqualification of the Hearing Examiner, when such grounds were unknown by the
appellant at the time the record was created;
2. Matters that were improperly excluded from the record after being offered by a party to the
hearing before the Hearing Examiner; or
3. Matters that were outside the jurisdiction of the Hearing Examiner.
The Council shall allow the record to be supplemented if the offering party demonstrates grounds for
supplementation as set forth in items (1), (2) and (3), immediately above.
Any party requesting that the record be supplemented shall submit such request along with the specific
evidence to be offered to the Council within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date the appeal hearing was
scheduled.
The parties may submit 'a memorandum in support of their position if filed no later than 12:00 noon on the
second Friday preceding the date set for consideration of the appeal. In this matter the appellant has filed
specific documents. In addition appellant appears to be requesting that the record be supplemented. Prior
to conducting the record appeal, Council will receive recommendations from the City Attorney as to what
documents should be considered a memorandum, which documents constitute supplementation of the
record and whether or not the supplementation should be allowed pursuant to the provisions of Ordinance
05-021. The council may also hear from the parties of record prior to determining if such supplementation is
appropriate under the rules set forth in Ordinance 05-021.
HEARING PROCEDURE:
1. Consideration of request to supplement the record.
1. Oral argument presented
first by the appellant
then by parties of record in opposition to.the appeal, and then
rebuttal and surrebuttal.
2. Oral argument shall be limited to stating why the record or applicable laws or regulations-do not support
the decision, and shall not contain any new facts or evidence unless allowed as stated above.
3. Oral argument shall be limited to twenty (20) minutes total for the appellant, and twenty (20) minutes
total for those parties in opposition to the appeal, regardless of how many parties make up each side.
4. The respective times allowed for oral argument above include the combined time used by a side for
opening argument, rebuttal and surrebuttal. The time taken to respond to questions from the Council is not
included in the time allowed for argument.
COUNCIL OPTIONS:
Council may affirm or reverse the Examiner's decision, or remand it for further proceedings. The Examiner's
decision will be presumed to be correct and supported by the record and law.
Council may reverse the Hearing Examiner's decision, or remand it for further proceedings, if the appellant
has carried the burden of establishing that one or more of the following standards is met:
1. The Examiner engaged in unlawful procedure or failed to follow a prescribed process,
unless the error was harmless;
2. The decision is an erroneous interpretation of the law, after allowing for such deference as
is due the construction of a law by a local jurisdiction with expertise;
3. The decision is not supported by evidence that is substantial when viewed in light of the
entire record;
4. The decision is a clearly erroneous application of the law to the facts; or
5. The decision is outside the authority of the Examiner.
Council may also remand the decision to the Examiner if the appellant offers newly discovered evidence that
would reasonably have affected the decision, had it been admitted in the proceedings before the Examiner.
"Newly discovered evidence° is evidence that, with reasonable diligence, could not have been discovered
and produced at the time the proceedings before the Examiner were conducted.
Council shall adopt written findings and conclusions in support of its decision. If the Council
concludes that a finding of fact upon which the decision is based is not supported by substantial evidence,
the Council may modify the finding or substitute its own finding, citing substantial evidence in the record that
supports the modified or substitute finding.
Council's decision shall include a notice stating that the decision can be appealed within twenty-one (21)
calendar days from the date the decision was issued by filing a Land Use Petition with the Superior Court as
provided in RCW Chapter 36.70C and meeting the other provisions of such chapter, and that the decision
shall act as official notice under RCW 43.21 C.075.
The notice included in the Council's decision shall also state that affected property owners may request the
Spokane County Assessor for a change in valuation for property tax purposes notwithstanding any program
of revaluation, pursuant to RCW 36.708.130.
Closed record appeals before the Council shall be concluded within sixty (60) days from the date the
transcript and record are received by the City Clerk, unless the applicant agrees in writing to a longer period.

1. Americans with _Disabilities Act: (AIWA) Sidewalk Requirements - Mike Connelly
City Attorney Connelly explained that he previously submitted a memorandum to Council in February
which discussed specific rules about sidewalks; and his second memorandum now discusses sidewalks in
relation to ADA requirements. Attorney Connelly mentioned that we need a transition plan; and have
designated Finance Director Ken Thompson as the A.DA "responsible employee." Concerning the
required self evaluation, Mr. Connelly explained the County should have completed a self-evaluation, but:
at this point, such document has not been located; and if it is determined that such a self evaluation plan
from the County cannot be located, we will need to complete one; that if we determine structural changes
are necessary for accessibility, then we must also develop a transition plan, which must be implemented
as expeditiously as possible, such plan setting out what current obstacles limit accessibility to the existing
facility; and how the facility will be made accessible. Mr. Connelly summarized his February 20, 2007
trremorandum concerning current code provisions, legal guidelines, and enforcement considerations.
A question was raised conceming who has the legal obligation to remove snow and ice, and-Mr. Connelly
stated that it is the property owner's responsibility to rernove suow and ice within a reasonable time, that
the regulation is difficult to enforce as many times by the time a notice is sent to a property owner, the ice
and snow have melted. Mr. Connelly said that legally, natural accumulations of dirt or debris do not need
to be removed from a. public sidewalk. Councilmcrziber Munson brouo A up the question of sidewalks
around the back of properties, such as around 32nd street, and whether we expect the homeowner to clear
those sidewalks. Attorney Connelly responded that the options are to tell the homeowner they have to
clear it regardless of the sidewalk's location, change the ordinance and not required sidewalks to be
shoveled; or come up with an ordinance that distinguishes between those sidewalks and others, yet have
the ordinance drafted to meet the tests of such action not being arbitrary and/or capricious. Public Works

Director Kersten stated that the County is still doing snow removal at this time, but to have them do
sidewalks, or specific sidewalks, would be very costly. Councilmember Munson asked what the cost r
would be, and Mr. Kersten said it would require some research to make that determination. Attorney
Connelly added that there also exists the issue of those who park on sidewalks and thus hinder people's
free use of sidewalks; and he'd like to include that in the ordinance; that we likely already prohibit
obstruction of sidewalks, but that could be more specific and a violation could be added making it a
nuisance to block the public right-of-,%vay.
Other discussion points included keeping the process the same, c.g. reactionary or compliant driven;
sidewalks near schools; identifying other high risk areas; enforcement; high bus traffic; private
contracting issues and paying prevailing wages; a sidewalk maintenance program for people to borrow
from to fix their sidewalks; and other cities' sidewalk ordinances.. Regarding ADA issues, Attorney
Connelly summarized the issue by stating that we have to identify the problem, come up with a plan and
funding to fix the problem; and that the plan needs to bring all public facilities into ADA compliance,
adding that new construction addresses these issues automatically. Attorney Connelly also said research
needs to be conducted to determine what the County did, so as not to repeat those efforts. It was Council
consensus that staff will look at other cities ordinances, pursue the existence of any County plan, corne up
with a budget for doing our own plan, and to administratively target certain areas for snow removal by
code enforcement; and to report: the research results back to council.
2. ApplewirV Avenue Project: Update - Steve Worley
Public Works Director Kersten mentioned that this is a project update for council prior to soliciting bids;
that this item will return to council for the bid award; that the total budget for this project is over six
million dollars; and that the plans and specifications are 95% complete. Mr. Kersten then explained the
area of the project as shown on the drawing; and mentioned the need to have all the rights-of.--way
certified before putting this out for bids, which he hopes to accomplish in a few weeks; and that the /
project wi11 likely cagy through the winter, but no sections will remain unpaved.
3. Wastewater Financial Plannit) olicy Issues - Neil Kersten
Director Kersten explained that this is an opportunity to Council to discuss wastewater policy issues a
reviewed during the joint Council/County May 1 meeting. Councilmember DeVleming mentioned that
this would be advisory to the County as they have the ultimate decision; and Mr. Mercier added that
Commission Chair Richard invited Council to provide input by way of suggesting reasonable options.
Discussion ensued regarding the 2008 proposed rate options for consideration; the proposed discount rate
for seniors and low-income citizens; and that it was Council consensus to use the 20% discount as
opposed to the previously County recommendation of 30%. ivfr. Truce Rawls was also in attendance, and
said that using a 20% rate would almost exactly level the rates for seniors, and the rate increase to others
would be a 3 7¢ rate increase instead of 56¢. Other discussion items included the STEP charges as shown
on slide 14; and non-point source options as part of the TiMT)L: (total maximum daily load). Mr. Rawls
also mentioned that a new public hearing date (other than a Tuesday night) has not yet been set; and lie
asked if Council has other policy issue preferences, to please send such to him by the end of May.
4. Uniform Development Code (LJDC) Title 24 -Marv Kate Martin
Building Official Martin went through her I'owerPoint presentation hitting the highlights of UDC Title
24, and trrentioned that options are to re-adopt the International Codes every three years, or adopt
perpetual language in our ordinance; adding that the ordinance can always be amended later if necessary.
Ms. Martin mentioned that most of the items in this title are regulated by code; that electrical systems are
regulated through Labor and industries; that the model codes as adopted by the State have some limited
options, and we can make the ordinance more restrictive if desired. In response to Council questions
concerning section 105 Permits, Ms. Martin said that the permit sections are generalized as the
international code no longer includes specifics; that ifa permit expires it doesn't mean the project is dead, °

but that staff will need to perform a review to make sure there are no changes. Concerning 80% fee
refunds as explained in the Bequest for Council Action (RCA), Ms. Martin said that most jurisdictions
use the 80% and it is intended to cover administrative costs, that the percentage is usual and customary,
and Spokane County and the City of Spokane have the same policy. Councilmember DeVleming asked
about maintaining a. minimum temperature of 65° (as shown on page 8 of the RCA), and asked if that
conflicts with nonresidential energy code as many warehouses keep the heat to a maximum of 50°. Ms.
Martin said she believes that regulation likely applies to tenant buildings where the heat is centrally
controlled by the building owner, but that she will research that in more detail. It was Council consensus
to place this on the next council meeting agenda for ordinance adoption consideration.
5. Uniform Development Code (UDC) Titles 19 and 22 -'Marina Sukul)
Planning Manager McCormick gave an update on the progress of UDC Tittles 19 and 22. In response to
Councilmember DeVlemi.ng's question concerning these titles and Council's inability to discuss thern at
this point, Deputy Mayor Taylor said he requested Council get information on some changes made
following public comments as he feels it is important to understand how staff is administering policies of
the comprehensive plan within these development regulations, to make sure the goals of the Plan will be
accomplished; and to be informed prior to the time when Council will debate this title. Councilmember
DeVleming voiced his disagreement and said that hearing; this tonight without Council discussion is
awkward. Mr. Mercier added that tonight's proposal is for Mr. McCormick to present information to
Council for their thoughts away from the dais, and is art attempt to satisfy a range of council desires. Mr.
McCormick then gave his PowerPoint presentation giving the background as noted in the May 15, 2007
Bequest for Council Action form. Mr. McCorrick added that the regular Planning Commission is
scheduled for next Thursday, and that the Commission has worked through all the main categories in Title
19, and will go back over definitions.
Councilmember DeVletning asked about applying for a 'second extension to complete this work, and Mr.
Mercier responded that he didn't think it was possible; and Mr. McConmick added that CTED only allows
one extension, and that extension ends the end of September. Mr. McCormick explained that once the
Planning Commission completes Title 19, the goal is to get that to Council for review while staff and the
Nanning Commission work on title 22, with a target date to complete Tittles 22 and 19 by the end of Juoc.
M_r. McCormick also mentioned the Commission has scheduled several special meetings in order to meet
that schedule. Mr. Mercier said that if the process is not timely completed, the City would be in
noncompliance, which might provide an impediment to other plans the City wants to adopt. In response
to Councilmember Munson's comments that he would like to know what discretion was used in
interpreting the law and where we differ from the adopted Code of the County, Mr. MCCornhick said they
are in effect, throwing out the Spokane County Code and starting from scratch; and that Titles 19 and 22
are two major titles where Council has a large dUd of discretion to implement the compreh ens i ve. plan
through these regulations. After discussion concerning the timeliness of this process, Mr. Mercier said
staff can relay to the Commission; COnllcll'S desire to have the material furnished at the earliest possible
date, but that lie is confident the Commission is aware of and sensitive to those needs.
6. Advance Agenda Additions - Mavor Wilhite
Mayor Wilhite mentioned that there will be no meeting the day after M-emoria.l Day; she reminded
everyone of the June 2 retreat at Councilmember Denenny's cabin, and said that if the schedule and the
Planning Commission review allows, perhaps the UDC (Uniform Development Code) July 17 discussion
could be moved up a week earlier. Councilmember DeVleming said that the Student Advisory Committee
will be ready to make recommendations for filling vacancies, and he would like to do so at the June 19
meeting; and that he is also working on a memo regarding crime reporting trends that he hopes to have as
an information only item in the June 5 packet. It was also mentioned that regional transportation
concun-ency report by Glerut Miles is scheduled for the June 26 council meeting.

Council this is a housekeeping item that adds a definition for City Manager that identifies "or Designee"
and will also replace the numbering system with an alphabetizing system so that when a new definition is
added in the future there will be no need to renumber everything. Councilmember DeVleming asked what
language would be used to make sure it would not be the "or Designee" option should council ever
determine they want something clone specifically by the City Manager. Mr. Driskell said that provision
would be drafted into the document as the need arises. Mayor Wilhite invited public comments; no

Building Official Martin addressed comments brought up at the previous council meeting with regard to
Councilmember DeVleming's concern with a portion of the property maintenance code. She informed
council the only amendment to the text was to remove text placeholders for a date and timeframe for the
eMctiveness of the minimum heating requirement. She also determined there is no conflict to the energy
code.
Ms. Martin explained that based on attorney recommendations, she would like to add perpetual adoption
language to 24.40.020, adding "as presently constituted or subsequently amended by the State of
Washington" so the City would not need to readopt each time. Deputy Mayor Taylor asked if council has
the ability to add to or not accept portions of the State codes. Ms. Martin explained the City has the ability
to locally amend any portion of the State codes except residential codes, which can be amended but need
the State's approval and cannot be less restrictive than State codes. In addition, the City cannot amend the
energy code. Ms. Martin said this perpetual adoption language does not preclude the City from making
local amendments. Councilmember Munson asked about the changes made to the grading code. Ms.
Martin explained that the changes reflected in the grading code only address private driveways and his
concerns will be addressed in the Street Standards in Title 22, which has not yet been brought before
council.
Councilmember Denenny asked for clarification on the fees associated with requesting a permit
extension. Ms. Martin explained that if arl extension is requested prior to permit expiration, there is no
charge. However, if the permit has already expired there is a charge to extend it. Ms. Martin also pointed
out to council that the swimming pool codes were not included in the code. Based on legal
recommendation she is requesting to add appendix G. which is currently not adopted. Deputy City
Manager Regor recommended to council they move forward with this first reading as it is, and include
appendix G in the second reading.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Tcylor and seconded, to amend his original motion to move Ordinance
07-010 adopting Uni forni Development Code Title 24, to a second reading.
Mayor Wilhite invited public comment.

4. Proposed Resolution 07-007 Amending 2007 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)- Steve
Worley
it was moved by Deputy lllayor Taylor and :seconded, to approve Resolution 07-007 adopting the
Amended 2007 TTP as presented by staf. Senior Engineer Worley explained the public hearing on this
issue was held April 20 and they did not receive any public comments. Minor changes were made to the
amended TIP based on recent issues that have come up. The Street Preservation Projects lists projects that
are still undetermined as to funding options; three were submitted for FTA funding through Spokane
Regional Transportation Council and he does not yet know the results. He is requesting that although we
don't know whether we will be able to do all the projects or not, he would like to have them included in
Council Meetine: 05-22-07 Page 3 of 8
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
the TIP and depending on funding and staffing levels, he will try to get as many of the projects done as
possible.
Councilmember DeVleming asked which projects the City had requested additional funding. Mr. Worley
identified the Evera~reen Road project, 24th - 32nd, 8 b Avenue, Havana St. to McKinnon Rd, and
Sprague Avenue, Bowdish to Pines Rd. FTA funding is the basis for determining when roads will be
resurfaced. Councilmember DeVleming asked if utility companies have been notified of the projects. Mr.
Worley said he will verify that they will be if they have not. If none of the applications for FTA funds are
selected to be reconstructed with FTA money, then the City will resurface the roads as soon as possible in
coordination with the utility companies.
Councilmember Munson asked which projects score well with STA that are on bus routes. Mr. Worley
pointed out that all of the projects are on bus routes, but he still doesn't know how STA will rank
Spokane Valley roads when compared to smaller jurisdictions. Mr. Worley explained that because of the
TIP funding deadline, a determination as to which projects to proceed with and which are dropped needs
to be made as soon as possible; and said that'this TII' focuses on 2007 only. Councilmember Gothmann
asked if there is information relative to the road study currently happening as far as ranking and the
condition of roads. Mr. Worley indicated that yes, based on infonnation from their consultants, scoring of
the roads last year helped to identify which roads should be addressed this year. Mayor Wilhite invited
public comment, none was offered.

5. Motion Consideration: Appleway Extension. Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Request - Steve
Worley
Senior Engineer Worley gave background information to council on placing the Appleway Extension 1
project on the MTP. The County received funding from the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) in
the amount of $4.2 million to proceed with the extension of the SpraguclAppleway Couplet. When
Spokane Valley incorporated, we inherited the project and tried to move forward. Spokane Valley
discovered that in order to use the TIB funds, the project needed to be on the MTP. The City has been
working with Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) to try to proceed; however, was not able
to meet the timeline the TIB set to get the project on the MTP. The City had an agreement through SRTC
to use Federal Rinds, which would take the place of the TIB funds, and the City would relinquish tile TLB
funds. In the end, the City still has $4.2 million.
Mr. Worley further explained the reason the City has had a difficult time getting the project on the MTP is
due to the very involved process and alternatives analysis that takes place through an environmental
assessment process. Much of that work has already been done as part of SpraguelAppleway Revitalization
plan. The consultants have looked at land uses and transportation alternatives and brought forth a
recommendation that was presented at the joint meeting with Council and the Planning Commission.
Other than the public meetings on the Revitalization plan, there has not been much Council discussion on
this issue. Because of this, Mr. Worley is seeking direction from council as whether or not to move
forward to request SRTC put this project on the MTP. If the City can get this project on the MTP, that
allows for use of the $4.2 million to start the design process and finish the environmental assessment
process.
The MTP can be amended every three years and this year it will be amended by the SRTC board. SRTC
has requested from all jurisdictions all projects they would like to have included on the MTP. Mr. Worley
is asking if his department should submit a letter to SRTC requesting this project be added to the MTP.
He also stated Glenn Miles With SRTC agrees this plan meets all of the requirements for public
involvement and alternatives analysis. The MTP is scheduled to be adopted at the July SRTC board
Council Meeting: 05-22-07 Page 4 of 8

meeting. If we don't ask to be included in this amendment, we will need to wait three years or make a
special request of SRTC to amend the MTP again with regard to this project.
Councilmember Munson said he would like to know the implications to council. He asked if the City
moves forward with this as presented by staff and the timing changes, will the City lose the funds? Mr.
Worley clarified that this request is looking only at that portion of Appleway and Sprague from Argonne
Cast. The road portion that already exists does not need to be included in the MTP process.
Councilmember Munson asked what will happen if Council decides not to go along with the
recommendation. Mr. Worley explained we would need to go back to SRTC and request it be revised
within the MTP. He does not think that would be difficult to do; however, he cautions that if we are not
sure now, he would not recommend we start spending the money. Development is moving forward based
on what was discussed at the joint meeting of the Planning Commission and Council. It was his
understanding there was agreement among both parties about what the consultant was proposing.
Councilmember Munson stated there was no vote taken and that is what is necessary.
Councilmember DeVleming stated that from the time the consultants made their presentation to now,
there has not been opportunity for public comment. He believes that should be the process. He further
asked if we need to be specific with what we want to do or can we just move forward with the extension
of Appleway? Mr. Worley stated in order to get the project included on the MTP, we have to have
sufficient detail for what is being requested. This would include the number and direction of lanes, etc.
The City only has until approximately mid-June to decide whether to move forward with this project. Mr.
Worley clarified this request: for the NITP is from Argonne to east of Sullivan Road and is then divided
into projects within the corridor based on what is best for development of City Center. The $4.2 million in
Federal funds can be used on any project within t_he corridor. The previous request for TIB funds is not
enough to complete the extension of a three-lane road from University to Evergreen. Mr. Worley
indicated they are looking to put in a grant application to get the remaining fiends from TIB to complete
that portion of the project.
Deputy Mayor Taylor stated the MTP is a 20-year plan and updated every three years. He then asked why
it is necessary to include the reduction of lanes on Sprague Avenue in the fiends application for Appleway.
Mr. Worley explained that element of the proposal is necessary because at this time the traffic models do
not indicate the need for additional lanes within the corridor. According to the traffic model we have been
using, there is no need for more capacity. This proposal will provide landscaping; sidewalk, and maintain
the same number of lanes. Deputy Mayor Taylor expressed his concern about concurrency issues, the
effects on Sprague Avenue by reducing lanes, and increased congestion pushing traffic to 1-90. He stated
he is concerned because he hasn't received input from City staff on the project, only from the consultant.
Deputy Mayor Taylor further stressed he feels we have had a lot of opportunity for public comment,
including workshops and traffic modeling. Councilmember DeVleming has concerns over the attendance
at those public forums and workshops. He is concerned with the proposal to reduce lanes and its impact
on future growt:h.'He stated tie believes it is a step backwards and the community needs to have more
input on this particular issue.
Councilmember Munson asked what the consequences are for council in terms of money should we go
forward with this recommendation now and then change our minds. He agrees with Councilmember
DeVleming that we have not had enough public input to make a final decision. Mr. Worley says if
Council moves forward with the recommendation to add this project to the MTP, the funding will not be
jeopardized if-the), later change their minds. To request additional funding, we need to know what is
being built - two lanes or three lanes, directional flow, etc.
Deputy Mayor Taylor said he is worried Sprague will become similar to Monroe Street in Spokane: two
lanes each way with a center turn-lane, very narrow and highly traveled. He does not want to shrink

Sprague Avenue. Mr. Worley explained traffic will use Appleway and have access limited to only the
major intersections to keep traffic moving. VN`hen new developments come in they will be required to
access Appleway off of interior roads. Councilmember Denenny pointed out that overall there will still be
the same number of lanes of traffic on Sprague and Appleway - from seven lanes to five on Sprague and
adding two lanes to Appleway.
Mayor Wilhite asked Mr. Worley when he needs a decision from council in order to apply for TI-13 funds.
Mr. Worley indicated Mid-August. 'Mayor Wilhite said she does not want to lose the finds, but stated
Council needs more discussion to decide. She would like to have this item placed on the agenda for the
Council Retreat and have a staff presentation.
Mr. Worley clarified the deadline to request this project be added to the MTP is June. The project needs
to be on the MTP in order to request TIB funds. Councilmember Denenny expressed he feels there has
been a lot of public input in this process and it is now time for Council to take that input and make a
decision. Councilmember Gothmann recommended staff provide a schedule of timelines; that there is
more discussion among Council; and that there is more opportunity for Council to get public input. He
believes Council needs to accommodate the timelines presented by Mr. Worley. Councilmember Munson
asked that Council direct staff to move forward with the request to add this proposal to the MTP. Once it
is on the MTP, we can then move forward with the grant application to TfI3. If it is added to the M'CP and
a decision is not made as to whether the City will move forward with the project, it will probably delay
the application for T1B funds for another year. Deputy Mayor Taylor agrees Council should move
forward tonight. He asked staff to provide an analysis of concerns from folks about concurrency issues,
impacts that this change may or may not have on our system, and north-south circulation.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Toylor and seconded to direct staff to move forward with a request to
,SRTC to have the extension of Appleway Avenue east of University Road ameixled into the 2007 update of
the Spokane Metropolitan Transportation Plan, based on the preliminary recommendations of the J
SproguelAppleway.Revitctlization Plait. Mayor Wilhite invited public comment; none were offered.
Councilmember DeVleming stated he will vote no because he thinks it sends a message to the public that
Council is making a decision without their input. Councilmember Schimmels thinks it is long overdue for

6. Motion Consideration: Solid Waste Options - Caly Driskell
Deputy Attorney Driskell stated this motion consideration comes from failure of staff to follow through
on the process they thought they had previously done with regard to solid waste collection. Council had
previously directed staff to notify \NrU 1'C (Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission) of the
City's desire to terminate the tariffs of the City's existing providers, thereby starting a seven-year clock in
which those providers would still provide services while other options could be determined for future
collection. The letter was not sent and therefore, that seven-year window has not been started. Staff has
now offered options to council for consideration. 1) do nothing, WU°ITC will continue to regulate solid
waste collection under tariff with two entities; (2) buy out the existing providers and take over collection;
(3) terminate certificate and grant contract with City taking over regulatory lead; and (4) terminate the

certificate and grant a franchise under which WUTC continues to be the regulatory lead. Under option
three and four, the status quo would remain concerning grant of rights and obligations for seven years.
Prior decision of council was option four, terminate certificate and rant a franchise under which WUf C
would be the regulatory lead.
Deputy Mayor Taylor asked Mr. Driskell to describe the pros and cons of option three. Mr. Driskell
indicated the agreement would not be materially different; however, the City does not have enough staff
nor the regulation set up.
Councilmember Munson asked what the options are at end of seven years. Mr. Driskell explained that at
the end of seven years if we didn't have something in place, we would have to provide for collection.
Under option three the City would be the regulatory lead, whereas under option four we would not.
It was moved by Deputy !Mayor Taylor acrd seconded, that we chose option four (4), and authorize staff to
send a letter to the Washing=tot? 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 Aganagentent to haul for seven years. Mayor Wilhite invited public comment.
Ken Gimpel, 12122 E 1st Avenue: Mr. Gimpel is the Municipal Relations Manager for Waste
Management. He expressed he wanted to clarify the differences between option three and option four. He
stated a contract is established in good faith between the City and its providers; it can be clone at any time;
and it is an open-ended contract in which everything is on the table for negotiation. Option four grants a
franchise that allows the City's providers to operate in the Spokane Valley using the rate structure of
WUTC.
Mark Torre, 2405 N University Road: Mr. Torre from Sunshine Disposal has serviced this community for
nearly 25 years. He expressed the implications the Council's decision could have on his Valley business.
Most of their revenue comes from the service to the Valley. We asks that Council. consider this when
exploring all the options.
Bob Evans, 12623 E Broadway - Vice President of Sunshine Disposal has worked for Sunshine for nearly
35 years and reiterated the concerns and implications to their small, family owned business and asks
Council to consider their concerns.
Councilmember Gothmann would like to discuss whether the City should have mandatory collection,
whether we should be subsidizing some rate-payers, and if there is a 'way to capture quality control of
service. Under a franchise the City would have limited control. Mr. Driskell explained this motion simply
starts the seven-year clock. During that time, the City can explore options for a future contract or
franchise agreement. The next proposed action will be a final notice of intent to the WUTC and will be
clear as to the differences between a contract and franchise agreement. Mr. Driskell expressed he could
foresee this coming to council within a month and it will clearly state to the WUTC the intent of Council.
Vote by Acclamation: h7 favor: Unanimous. Opposed: Atone. Votion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Wilhite invited general public comments. None were offered.

8 Panhandling iJhdate - Care DriskelUErik Lamb
Legal Intern Lamb told Council that currently the City regulates panhandling under Spokane Valley
Municipal Code 5.25.020, described as aggressive panhandling that regulates begging that intimidates or
threatens or coerces people into giving money. Mr. Lamb defined panhandling and cautioned Council that
in terms of regulating panhandling, the City needs to remember that legally it is a form of expression and
is protected. He presented options for regulation as being l.) to promote a public awareness campaign to
encourage other means of charitable contributions and discourage donating to individual panhandlers; 2)
to 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) to continue enforcement of SVMC
8.25.020.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Vacation of Streets, Payment of Value
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 39.79.030
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Current Council practice is to not charge for street
vacations other than charges reflecting administrative costs.
BACKGROUND: This matter was previously before the council. Questions had been asked
concerning the options the City has when properties are vacated. There is an additional
concern that when the council revisits this question at each individual vacation hearing the
possibility of inconsistent decisions increases. Currently the City has no guidelines or written
criteria for determining whether to charge or not charge. The alternatives allowed by law and
the current practices of other communities is set forth in the memoranda attached.
OPTIONS: A policy or ordinance change should be developed reflecting the council
preferred options.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Provide direction to allow staff to prepare a
policy for council consideration.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Possible addition to transportation funds

Re: Street Vacations
QUESTIONS:
1. What charging options does the City have when streets or alleys are vacated?
2. What criteria could the City adopt?
2. What are other communities doing?
ANSWERS:
1. Streets, alleys or any part thereof may he vacated pursuant to RCW 35.79.1130.
This statute allows the City to charge for the property vacated in the following manner:
...and the ordinance may provide that it shall not become effective until the owners
of property abutting upon the street or alley, or part thereof so vacated, shell
compensate such city or town in an amount which does not exceed one-half the
appraised value of the area so vacated. If the street or alley has been part of a
dedicated public right-of-way for hventy-five years or more, or if the subject
property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense, the city or town may
require the owners of the property abutting the street or alley to compensate the city
or town in an amount that does not exceed the full appraised value of the area
vacated One half of the revenue received by the city or town as compensation for
the area vacated must be dedicated to the acquisition, improvement, development,
and related maintenance of public open space or transportation capital projects
within the city or town.
The option is the councils'. You may charge nothing other than administrative costs,
charge up to 50% of appraised value or, in the event the street or alley has been part of a

PROPOSED POLICY REGA_RDIN CHARGING FOR VACATION OF ROADWAYS
AND RIGHT OF WAYS
Whereas, the City of Spokane Valley has the authority to vacate roadways and right of ways
pursuant to RCW 36.79.030; and
Whereas, the City of Spokane Valley has the authority to charge for said vacations in an amount
that does not exceed 50 % of the full appraised value or for the full appraised value of the area
vacated where the street or alley had been part of a dedicated right of way for over hventy five
(25) years; or if the property was acquired at public expense; and
Whereas, the City of Spokane Valley wishes to establish a set of guidelines by which they
determine the cost of any such vacation.
Now, therefore, the City of Spokane Valley adopts the following vacation policies:
1. The cost for a vacation shall be 50% of the appraised value of the land as established by the
Spokane County Assessor for the parcels of property directly adjacent to the subject street or
alley. , if the value of adjacent property differs, then an average of the existing values will be
used.
2. The applicant shall be required to pay the above described fee only to the extent that it exceeds
the cost charged by the.City of Spokane Valley exclusive of any surveying or engineering costs
incurred by the applicant.
3. This charge shall be paid subsequent to council action and prior to recording the vacation with
the Spokane County Auditor.
4. The City Council shall reserve the right to deviate from this policy upon the adoption of
written findings of fact that demonstrate that the public interest shall be best served by an
alternate approach.

EXCERPT FROM COUNCIL MEETING Mh-,TUTES, MARCH 20,2007:
4. Vacation of Streets, Paymcnt of Value - Mike Coanelhy/Marina Sukup
City Attorney Connelly explained that questions have arisen concerning the options the City has when
properties are to be vacated; and of options for charging or not; and that the City currently has no
guidelines or written criteria for determining whether to charge. After explaining the highlights of his
March 15, 2007 "Street Vacations" memorandum, Mr. Connelly said Council could explore the options
concerning charging for vacated property. Suggestions for criteria to use included appraised value, land
value of adjacent lots, assessor's value; size, type of zone, the $1300 administrative fee in addition to
other criteria, the $1300 administrative fee only, the land by itself versus the land and its surroundings,
only have a fee if the land is over a certain appraised value, such as anything over $10;000; the value of
the land per square foot; whether the land is improved; some trigger over the administrative fee for cost
recovery; or a percenttage over the administrative fee. There was some council consensus to look at the
square footage of assessed value, and when that is $1300 or less, then the administrative fee is a wash;
and anything over that would be 50% of cost. Attorney Connelly said lie will draft a suggested policy
and bring that back for further council consideration, and Council can then decide on the exact
percentage.
