BACKGROUND: The development regulations implementing the Comprehensive Plan are subject to the same requirements for early, continuous and collaborative public participation as the Comprehensive Plan The Planning Commission has taken care to evaluate the comments submitted by members of the public in evaluating the proposals. The Planning Commission is presently working through the provisions of this title, but has reached preliminary consensus on some issues. Title 19 - Zoning Re iulstionsr. City Council began their deliberations of Title 19 at the July 17, 2007 study session. An issue that was discussed related to the appropriate minimum lot size in the proposed R-1 zoning district for the areas of the Ponderosa and Rotchford Acres. Staff has conducted an analysis of the lots in these two neighborhoods and the results of that analysis are attached To summarize, the analysis revealed that there are 572 total lots currently designated as UR-1 (interim zone) in the two areas Of the 572 total lots, 71 lots in Ponderosa and 36 lots in Rotchford Acres are 50,000 square feet or larger. At a minimum lot size of 25,000 square feet the identified lots would be eligible for further platting. Staff also identified lots that are 80,000 square feet or larger and determined that there are 18 lots within Ponderosa and 1 lot within Rotchford Acres that met this threshold. At a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet these 19 lots would be eligible for further platting.

Planning Commission Recommended Minimum Lot Sirs - 40.000 square feet Methodology: The assumption was made that property designated Urban Residential -I (UR-1) on the interim zoning district map within the L.DR comprehensive plan category would cross-over to R-1 zoning district in the draft Uniform Development Code (Z J11C-'). An analysis using the city's geographic information system (GIS) reveals there are 572 parcels designated l JR-1 (interim zoning district). 'Ibe map below indicates parcels (highlighted in light blue border) within the Rotchford Acres neighborhood currently designated UR-1 that are 50,000 square feet or greater.

Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ® old business ® new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report: Policy Issues & Progress Report: Title 22 Development Standards. GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70, WAC 365-195-800 et seq. PREVIOUS COUNCILICOMMISSION ACTION TAKEN: The 2006-2026 Comprehensive Plan was adopted on April 25, 2006 and effective on May 10, 2006. The Planning Commission completed review of Title 22 and voted to forward their recommendation on July 19, 2007. BACKGROUND: The development regulations implementing the Comprehensive Plan are subject to the same requirements for early, continuous and collaborative public participation as the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission has taken care to evaluate the comments submitted by members of the public in evaluating the proposals. The Planning Commission is presently working through the provisions of this title, but has reached preliminary consensus on some issues. Title 22 - Design & Development Regulations. This Title includes concurrency, dimensional standards, off-street parking and loading, outdoor lighting, fencing, screening and landscaping, sign regulations, wireless communication facilities, streets, sidewalks and public places, street vacations, and stormwater management regulations. Each of these is discussed in summary manner below: Concurrence This provision is required for transportation, water, wastewater, police services, fire services and schools. As drafted, concurrency for other services is optional. State law requires direct concurrency for transportation; water and wastewater are considered basic services that must be present in order to proceed with development and are therefore considered as direct ooncurrency. Performance Standards & Incentives (Reserved) Evacuation and Emergency Response Standards (Reserved) Off-Street Parkino & Loading Standards Council has complete discretion to alter or change any of these provisions. This section provides for the number, location and dimensions of required off-street parking. It also provides for shared parking, compact cars, car and van pool parking, accessible parking, stacking and queing, parking lot design, and off-street loading, as well as bicycle parking. Outdoor Lighting Standards Council has complete discretion to alter or change any of these provisions. This section incorporates provisions of the Washington Energy Code as a requirement for outdoor lighting (except in all but one and two family dwellings), minimizing light pollution. Fencing, Screening & Landscaping Council has discretion to change any of these provisions except those established by AASHTO for clear view triangles. Allowing electric fences and under what conditions was a question raised during earlier consideration of clear view triangles. The proposed provisions identify requirements for screening and buffering that are aligned with present practice. Significant changes include establishing a point system for the minimum amount of landscaping, requiring Page 2 of 2 that landscaping design and installation be certified by a licensed landscape architect, requites additional landscaping along aesthetic corridors, provides for headlight screening, street-trees, screening of loading docks, landscaping for free-standing signs, and xeriscaping. ft also provides for tree preservation by providing credit against landscaping requirements for existing trees. Included are planting details and plat species recommended for this area. Sign Regulations The proposed regulations are those recommended by the ad hoc Sign Committee- The regulations have been simplified and defrritions are included. These provisions anticipate that additional zoning districts will be established, include "cap and replace" for billboards established in the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning Commission did include a 1,000 foot separation requirement for billboards. Wireless Communication Facilities Council has complete discretion to alter or change any of these provisions. These provisions generally continue the previous standards- treets Sidewalks & Public Places This section adopts existing street and sewer construction standards by reference as well as the Manual on Uniform Traffic Dontfai Devices. It also adapts the regional Pavement Cut Policy, clarifying inconsistencies in the policy. Council cannot modify. the Regional Policy. Street Vacations Mate law is fairly prescriptive. This section has no changes from the existing regulations. St,ormwater Mana ement This section does not change the existing regulations. Tres 19 and 2 were submitted to the Community Trade & Economic Development Department {TED} on January 27, 2007 not less than sixty days prior to final adoption by the City Council. OPTIONS: Approva as submitted, recommend changes or provide staff with additional direction. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: alone required.

Rules for Computing Number of Parking Spaces, shown in Table 22.50-2. The number of required off-street parking spaces shall be based on the following: a. "Floor Area" shall mean the gross square feet of the specific use. b. Where fractional spaces result, the parking spaces required shall be constructed to the nearest whole number. c. Uses not specified in Table 22.50-2 shall provide parking based on a use of similar nature. d. New Construction: Prior to occupancy of a new structure within any zoning district, off-street vehicle parking shall be provided in accordance with Table 22.50-2. e. Expansion of Existing Use: Prior to occupancy of an expanded (enlarged) floor area, off-street vehicle parking shall be provided in accordance with Table 22.50- 2 based on the expanded square footage. f. Change of Use. If the minimum number of vehicle parking spaces required for the change of use added to the existing on-site parking supply falls short of the minimum number of vehicle parking spaces required for the project as a whole, the applicant shall provide additional spaces to bring the total supply up to the minimum required. g. In the case of multiple-use occupancies, other than shopping centers, in a building or on a lot, the total requirement for off-street parking shall be the sum of the requirements for the various uses computed separately. h. Tandem spaces shall not count as required parking.

For nonresidential uses, required off-street parking shall be located in the same zone or in a zone which allows the use for which the parking is required. b. All parking spaces required herein shall be located on the same parcel with the building or use served unless: i. The parking is located on a contiguous parcel or parcels under the same ownership and title notice is filed identifying the parking serving the other building or use; or ii. If the required parking for a building or use is located on a parcel(s) other than described in a. above, the owner of the parcel upon which the proposed parking is located executes a joint parking agreement in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, stating that the parcel is devoted in whole or in part to required parking for the use of a parcel or parcels under separate ownership. The agreement shall be binding on both properties and shall be recorded with the Spokane County Auditor's office and filed with the Spokane Valley Department of Community Development. iii. Where shared parking is proposed, the minimum number of parking spaces for all shared uses shown on Table 22.50-2 shall be calculated. When these totals are applied to the percentages shown on Table 22.50-1, the minimum number of parking spaces required is the largest sum of the individual totals for each time period.

This year, the City Council, Planning Commission and citizens gave much attention to drafting a complete overhaul of the land use regulations that govern all development activities Athin the boundaries of the City of Spokane Valley. Their efforts to compose the Uniform Development Code should streamline the development process and clarify regulatory provisions that otherwise create uncertainty about allowable activities and standards to be met. Community representatives also concentrated great effort on the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan that endeavors to create a City Center incorporating community building; urban, commercial, and housing opportunities; and spurs reinvestment all along the city's main corridor. Citizens are invited to track the progress of both initiatives on the City website: -vvxw.spokanevalley.org. Bridget Highlights The 2008 budget continues to recognize the dynamic and changing environment within which the City must operate. The budget process has been used to reinforce the City's commitment to delivering its core services in a cost effective manner. A summary of key budget highlights for review by the Council and community follows: Revenue: Gentle Growth: Revenue projections for the 2008 fiscal year have been increased anticipating a sustained pace of building activity as well as greater sales tax receipts, although 2007 retail sales are growing at a lesser percentage than in 2006. The City's six-year financial forecast shows conservative revenue growth beyond 2008; however, those estimates will fluctuate according to changing trends in the economy. -2- Expense: Moderate Growth in Current Operational Expenses: Investing in the essential care services identified by the Council and community creates baseline costs that are currently growing at a higher rate than tax revenues. Even with a relatively small city staff, quality service delivery requires ongoing investment in basic capacity to provide efficient operations. As the City evolves into the fifth year of its start-up phase, personnel costs, along with the price of operating supplies and charges for contract services, escalate at the rate of 6% to 8% annually. Fact: Public Safety casts dominate the municipal budget: In 2008, Police, Court and Jail related services will cost $18,828,300-almost twice the $10,496,500 anticipated property tuxes for the entire year. That equals 179% of all the local property tax. That's what happens with your dollars when you pay your taxes. Capital Investments: Successful Grantsmanship Pays Dividends: City staff actively pursues funding commitments from other sources to help pay the cost of needed capital improvements-roads, bridges and parks-that benefit the community. The 2008 capital construction program totals $12,738,800, of which the City will contribute 55,286,140, or, just 41 Street Fund: State Funding of Local Roadway Maintenance Insufficient. This fund derives its revenues from an allocation of the state Motor Fuel Tax distributed to cities and towns. Currently, the City receives only about $2.25 million, or, about 50% of the funds needed to pay for street maintenance activities like snow plowing, pothole repair, resurfacing eroded lanes, sweeping, weed control, street lighting, traffic signals and a variety of other repairs. The problem facing Spokane Vallcy for the foreseeable future will be closing that gap between street related revenues and costs. Any decline in routine maintenance expenditures will result in noticeable differences in the conditions of local streets. t l ~i I 'j, -3- hi an aticnipt to detvniilll.- lloi~ iu keep the surtaces mid bases (underground support) of roads in proper condition, a Street Master Plan was prepared that itemizes the positive and negative conditions of our city street system, and identifies the repair needs and costs associated with maintaining our 437 miles of roudii'm•. The report details the need for an additional annual investment of S4,50t1,000 in street preservation work to keep the street system from deteriorating and triggering much more expensive repair work in the future. The Current Fiscal Year in Review: The fourth full year of operating Washington's newest city marked additional progress in addressing community issues and defining desirable goals for the future. Citizen participation was ample in the proceedings of the City Council, Planning Commission, and at community gatherings discussing the launch of a City Center initiative as the lynehpin of the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan. Residents and business people provided city officials with their views on the broad range of issues related to economic development and land use regulations. The City Council welcomes public comments and works to balance the various interests expressed when enacting ordinances intended for the protection and enhancement of the quality of life in Spokane Valley. City representatives embrace continuous learning, attend to a heavy workload, and take pleasure in achieving results that affect the community in a positive way. Some of those results are reflected in the substantial progress in meeting the 2007 budget goals. -4- Progress in Attainment of the seven (7) Major Goals of 2007: Continue monitoring wastewater issues, including governance of wastewater facilities, enhanced citizen awareness of options for the future, and pursuit of the most efficient and economical use of allowed wastewater discharges. Council and staff collaborated with dischargers, environmentalists and regulatory agencies. A Mitigation Implementation Plan (Rf1P) associated with an acceptable Total Maximum Daily Load ruling was accepted by the Washington Department of Ecology. Monitoring of the AHP will continue, as Kell as collaboration on governance issues. Corridor that may be accessed by public institutions, residents, and businesses within Spokane Valley.

Receipt of relevant data is anticipated by December. k'' tar, Adopt a sub-area plan for the SpraguelAprlenav Revitalization fl-an and initiate the implementation of achievable recommendations. An administrative draft of the sub-area plan was finalised and public outreach briefings are ongoing. Adoption of the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan is anticipated in December. Amend the comprehensive ping to reflect accommodation of Spokane Valley population proiections within and adjacent to city limits, and to outline annexation policies. City representatives have completed the necessary tasks within their control. The City must now await Spokane County's finalization of its updated Countj,wide Compreheru-Ne Plan before proceeding further on this goal 77te County may not address Urban Growth Areas until 2008, thereby postponing consideration ofannexation proposals until next year. -5- Adopt a Street ]Waster Plan and draft a financial strategy to implement the plan. A well-defined Street Master Plan has been prepared and presented to the City Council. The Plan identifies the current condition of city streets and recommends appropriate improvements and maintenance that preserve the value and structural integrity of the local transportation system. Formal adoption of the Plan is anticipated before year-end each department that includes forward looking budget and The initial draft was assembled in a cooperative process by all departments and was presented at the June Council retreat. The first year elements are incorporated in this Preliminary Budget. Adopt a Uniform Development Code that implements the Comprehensive Plan. This year and a half long project to streamline all development regulations is coming to fruition thanks to the massive effort and time invested by the Planning Commission, stakeholders and staff. Council adoption is anticipated in September. Balanced Budget Adopted: One of the most important fiscal goals to pursue when operating a governmental enterprise is the creation and maintenance of financial reserves that may be relied upon over time to sustain critical public services. The 2008 budget reflects two notable achievements in this regard. 1. Achievement of the goal to establish a $5,000,000 Civic Building Reserve Fund to support the construction of a City Hall. 2. Achievement of the goal to establish and maintain a Building Facilities Repair and Replacement Fund to pay for major repairs and/or eventual replacement of CenterPlace and the Police Precinct Building. The 2008 budget is in balance; expenses have been paired with known or reasonably predictable revenues. The budget is designed to maintain the 15% positive fund balance at year end that provides for the city's cash flow needs without costly borrowing. In pursuit of fiscal responsibility, special attention was given to limiting the growth in new programs and financial commitments while City revenue and expenditure patterns further stabilize. This approach -6- The Budgel for Fiscal Year 2008 allows available resources to be put toward sustaining services that are consistent with the City Council's priorities for 2008 and beyond. Department Achievements: Each of the City's departments undertook an aggressive work program in 2007. The budget document contains descriptions of their accomplishments for the year and their goals for next year. I invite city residents to acquaint themselves with the efforts made by municipal employees on your behalf. I leave to the department heads the pleasure of sharing their recent successes and goals for the coming year. Seven new positions were included in the budget proposal as we strive to address the demands of a city that has grown to 88,280 people. As we pass through the formative stages of community building. this City has taken a conservative approach to adding new staff. Spokane Valley continues to have the lowest employee count of any Washington city over 50,000 in population. [Please see the attached 2007 Work Force Comparison.] The City Council was responsive to personnel needs that arose in 2007 to improve customer service for building and development activities, CenterPlacc programs and internal services. As we grow and mature as a city, our customers and citizens have increased their service demands creating the need for an additional seven (7) new employee positions within the various general and enterprise funds expressed in the 2008 budget. Major Goa! Statements for 2008: T'he 2008 budget reflects the distribution of resources consistent with the Council's determination of core services priorities. Ile following goals represent just very broad areas of concentration important to the well being of the community: -7- Continue monitoring wastewater issues. including governance of wastewater facilities, and pursuit of the most efficient and economical methods to ensure the continuation of wastewater discharges licenses.

Acknowledgments: In closing, it has been a pleasure to work with the Council and individual City departments to accomplish the goals they established. I look forward to continued work with the City's team in the coming year to deliver the services funded by citizens of Spokane Valley. I genuinely appreciate the citizens of Spokane Valley, the City Council and individual staff members who have made it possible for the City to successfully pursue a bright future. Everyone involved continues to give generously of their time and energy during this period of heavy workloads and program development; they have risen well to the many challenges facing a young City-. Thanks also for the patience and feedback from the many citizens who have shown an abiding interest in the community or volunteered their time to improve the quality of life in Spokane Valley. Respectfully, David Mercier, City Manager -8- S061ane ,;oOValley 11707 E Sprague Ave Suite 106 ♦ Spokane Valley WA 99206 509.921.1000 ♦ Fax: 509.921.1008 ♦ cityhall®spokanevalley.org TO: David Mercier, City Manager and Members of Council FROM: Ken Thompson, Finance & Administrative Services Director DATE: June 18, 2007 SUBJECT: About the Budget and the Budget Process The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public lands. Additionally, the budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff and community. As a result, the City Council, staff and public are involved in establishing the budget for the City of Spokane Valley. The budget provides four functions: 1. A Policv Document The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will reflect the general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future. As a policy document, the budget makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-day activities of the City star 2. An Operational Guide The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each City function and organization have been planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process will help to maintain an understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to each other and to the attainment of the policy issues and goals of the City Council. 3. A Link with the General Public The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City operations. The budget describes the activities of the City, the reason or cause for those activities, future implications, and the direct relationship to the citizenry. 4. A Legally Required Financial Planning Tool The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light, preparing and adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of the Revised Code of Washington (RCV). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget and must be in place prior to the beginning of the City's fiscal year. The budget is the legal authority to expend public moneys and controls those expenditures by limiting the amount of the appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are estimated, along with available cash carry-forward, to indicate funds available. The budget takes into account 9 unforeseen contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments. Year 200$ Budget Process The City of Spokane Valley operates on a calendar year basis. It utilizes an incremental budgeting approach that assumes, for most functions of government, that the current year's budget is indicative of the base required for the •following year. Any increases are incremental and based on need defined by the organization's budget policies, emerging issues, Council goals, and available resources. The formal budget planning begins in the spring with discussions between the City Manager and City Council during a mid-year retreat. Following the retreat, the City Manager and the Department Directors prepare the preliminary budget based upon the City Council priorities. The City Council reviews the preliminary budget beginning in July. In April of 2007, departments prepare requests for new staff, programs, or significant increases to their current year budget that will address emerging issues and other operational needs. In their requests, the departments identify the problem that they are trying to address, the recommended solution, implementation plan, projected cost and expected outcomes. The . Finance Department and City Manager conduct an analysis of the departmental base budgets and the revenue outlook for the coming year to determine the availability of funds for any new initiatives. During May and June, the departments also develop their base budgets. These budget requests are submitted to the Finance Department by the middle of May. In early June, the City Manager reviews each department's budget requests and develops a preliminary budget recommendation. As mandated by RCW 35A.33.135, the first requirement is that the City Manager submit estimated revenues and expenditures to the City Council on or before the first Monday in October. The preliminary budget is presented to the City Council in late July. Public hearings are held to obtain taxpayers' comments, and revisions as applicable, are made. The Council makes its adjustments to the preliminary budget and adopts by ordinance a final balanced budget no later than December 31. The final operating budget as adopted is published, distributed, and made available to the public during the First three months of the following year. After the budget is adopted, the City enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage. Throughout the year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department directors to ensure that funds are within the approved budget. Finance provides financial updates to the City Council to keep them current with the City's financial condition. Any budget amendments made during the year are adopted by City Council ordinance. The City Manager is authorised to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized employee positions, salary ranges or other conditions of employment must be approved by the City Council. 10 When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance approved by one more than the majority after holding one public hearing. Significant Changes to the 2008 Budget A review of the 2008 preliminary budget reveals the following significant changes: Revenues 1. Sales tax receipts have been increased $500,000 reflecting growth in retail sales. No change in sales tax receipts is expected from the implementation of the state streamlined sales tax receipts program. 2. The city property tax rate is expected to remain near $1.60 per thousand dollars of assessed value. 3. Planning and Building fees and Fines & Forfeitures remain almost unchanged from 2007. Expenditures 1. Seven new positions have been added to the proposed budget for 2008, based on multiyear business plans prepared by departments. They include: a half=time Deputy City Clerk; a half-time Human Resource assistant; an administrative Analyst; an Accountant/Budget Analyst; two maintenance positions at CenterPlace; a Capital Project Engineer; and a public works Administrative Assistant. 2. $75,000 has been budgeted for a voice activated inspection system in the building division. 3. General fund expenses are greater than the projections in the City's Multiyear financial plan, due to transfers to the Civic Facilities & Civic Facilities Repair & Replacement Funds. 4. Parks capital improvements planned for 2008 have been budgeted at $500,000. There will likely be improvements scheduled for 2007 that will not be finished and will be carried over ($3,000,000) into 2008. 11 5. $150,000 has been budgeted for Americans with Disabilities Act improvements in the community. 6. A transportation impact fee study (Street Fund) has been budgeted in 2008 in the amount of $250,000. 12 City of Spokane Valley Selected Budget Policies Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with City Council and City Manager priority direction, and for implementing them once they are approved. The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and administration of the City's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance with applicable State of Washington statutes governing local government budgeting practices. The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems, formulating solutions and alternatives, and implementing any necessary corrective actions. Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing those services. Budget adjustments requiring City Council approval will occur through the ordinance process at the fund level prior to fiscal year end. The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services plan in a Council/cons~tituent-friendly format. The City Mll pursue ending fund balances for operating funds at a level of no less than 8% of revenue. Beginning in 2010, short term debt shall not exceed 10% of revenues. No long term debt will be incurred without identification of a revenue source to repay the debt. Fong term debt Mll be incurred for capital purposes only. The City will maintain equipment replacement funds that will receive annually budgeted contributions from the operating expenses of departments owning the capital equipment in an amount necessary to replace the equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required contributions'Aill be reviewed annually as part of the budget process. 13 BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING Accounting, Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the State Auditor under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.09.20, and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Basis of Presentation. - 1~ and Accounting, The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of fiords, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of double-entry accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. The City's resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds depending on their intended purpose. The following are the fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley: Governmental Fund Types Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state and local government operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or "financial flows" measurement focus, which means that typically only current assets and current liabilities are included on related balance sheets. The operating statements of governmental fluids measure changes in financial position, rather than net income. They present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. There are four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley: General Fund This fund is the primary fund of the City of Spokane Valley. It accounts for all financial resources except those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund. Special Revenue Funds These funds account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance particular activities of the City of Spokane Valley. Special Revenue finds include the Street Fund, Arterial Street Fund, Trails & Paths Fund, Hotel/Motel Fund, CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund, Service Level Reserve Fund, Civic Facilities Reserve Fund, and Winter Weather Reserve Fund. Debt Service Funds These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of debt. Debt Service funds are comprised of the Debt Service LTGO 03. Capitol Project Funds These funds account for financial resource-s, which are designated for the acquisition or y construction of general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include the Capital Project Fund, Special Capital Projects Fund, Streets Capital Projects Fund, 14 Mirabeau Point Capital Project Fund, CDBG Fund, Capital Grants Fund, Barker Bridge Federal Grant .Fund, and Parks Capital Projects Fund. Proprietary Fund Types Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector where the intent of the governing body is to finance the full cost of providing services, including depreciation, which based on the commercial model uses a flow of economic resources approach. Under this approach, the operating statements for the proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net income (revenues and expenses) and both current and noncurrent assets and liabilities are reported on related balance sheets. Their reported fund equity (net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components. As described below, there are thvo generic fund types in this category: Enterprise funds These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general public and are supported primarily by user charges. The Stormwater Management Fund is included in this group of fluids. Internal Service i unds These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other departments or funds of the City. The Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund and Risk Management Fund are included in-this group of funds. Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. The City of Spokane Valley uses a modified accrual basis of accounting. Modified accrual recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. The basis of accounting for enterprise and internal service funds is full accrual. The appropriate basis is used throughout the budgeting, accounting, and reporting processes. Full accrual is a method of accounting that matches revenues and expenses with the period to which they relate, rather than focusing on actual cash flows. In this method, for example, an asset is depreciated as it is "used up," and the expense is recognized in periodic increments, rather than assuming the asset holds its value until it is actually disposed of However, since the focus of budgeting is on the revenues and expenditure accounts, depreciation and amortization are not considered budgetary accounts, and are excluded from the budgeting system. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for all funds. These funds are budgeted on the modified cash basis of accounting. The financial statements include budgetary comparisons for those funds. Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. Annual appropriations for all funds lapse at the fiscal period end. 15 EXPLANATION OF REVENUE SOURCES GENERAL FUND REVENUES: Property Tax Revenue Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits the City to a $3.60 levy per $1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of $1.50 by the Spokane County )Fire Districts #l and #8, along with deducting $0.50 for library levies, which leaves the City with the authority to levy $1.60 for its own purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance by November 30th prior to the levy year. It is anticipated the City will levy an amount very close to the $1.60 rate. Local Retail Sales and Use Tax The local retail sales and use tar is comprised of two separate .5% options with the County receiving 15% of each .5%. After deducting .01% as a County administrative fee, the City's effective rate is .84%. Local Criminal Justice Sales Tax Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes, such as the City's law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at up to 3/10 of 1% of retail sales transacted in a County. Beginning in 2005, an additional I% voter approved increase in sales tax was devoted to public safety purposes. Gambling Tax Revenues Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to gambling. Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes may be used for any general government purpose. Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly to the City, no later than the last day of January, April, July and October. The City imposes a tax on the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5% gross, less prizes); Raffles (5% gross, less prizes); Games (2% gross, less prizes); Card playing (10% gross) and Punch-Boards/Pull Tabs (5% gross, less prizes). Leasehold Excise Tax Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and ]eased to private parties. Franchise Fees Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5% of gross revenues. This is a fee levied on private utilities for the right to use city streets, alleys, and other public properties. State-Shared Revenues 16 State-shared revenues are received for liquor sales, and motor vehicle excise taxes including travel trailer and camper excise tax. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and shared with local governments based on population. State-shared revenues are distributed 'on either a monthly or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues are distributed in the same month of the quarter. The 2007 population figure used in the 2008 Preliminary Budget is 87,000 as determined by the Office of Financial Management for Washington State. This figure is important when determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis. Liquor Board Profits and Liquor Excise Tax Cities receive a share of both liquor board profits and liquor excise tax receipts. The profits are distributed on the last day of March, June, September, and December. The excise portion is distributed on the last day of January, April, July, and October. To be eligible to receive these revenues, a city must devote at least two percent of the distribution to support an approved alcoholism or drug addiction program. Service Revenues Fees are charged for services rendered by the City of Spokane Valley. Most of the fees in the General Fund are construction inspections and permits related to services-such as planning, zoning and building. Fines and Forfeitures Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings and other miscellaneous rule infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State. The City, on average, keeps less than 50% of the amount collected. Recreation Program Fees The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These fees offset some of the costs related to providing the program. CenterPlace Fees The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace. Uses include conferences, weddings, receptions and banquets.

" On May 21, 2002, voters within the City approved incorporation of the City of Spokane Valley, which is the second largest city in the County and the seventh largest city in the State, with approximately 87,000 residents. The City incorporated as of March 31, 2003. The assessed valuation of real property within the boundaries of the City for taxation purposes is estimated for 2007 tax collection to be approximately $5,800,000,000. Spokane Valley encompasses approximately 38.2 square miles of land area. It has an extensive retail tax base and is home to several major auto dealerships and the Spokane Valley Mall, which includes over 700,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area. There are an estimated 4,000 businesses in Spokane Valley with estimated retail sales of $1.66 billion. The first permanent settler in the Spokane Valley was Antoine Plante, a retired French- Canadian trapper. Mr. Plante built a cabin near the Spokane River in 1849, from which he operated a small Hudson's Bay Company trading post. Other settlers began arriving in this area between 1865 and 1882. "Firsts" to occur in Spokane Valley include the first settler in 1849, first business and ferry in 1850, the first store and bridge in 1862, the first house in 1866, and the first post office in 1867. All of these "firsts" occurred before the arrival in 1873 of James Glover who was considered the "father of Spokane." In 1883, the Northem Pacific Railroad opened the west up with the transcontinental railroad. The new railroad, coupled with the discovery of silver in north Idaho, created an infl«.Y of people to the Spokane Valley area. Within a few years the Spokane area was connected to the rest of the country by five transcontinental railroads. The next major innovation to Spokane Valley was the introduction of irrigation to the area. Within 20 years 30,000 acres of dry land had been converted into fertile farm land. The first irrigation systems were constructed between 1899 and 1905. The Valley population grew from 1,000 residents at the turn of the century to nearly 10,000 by 1922. During this time apple growing became the predominant agricultural crop Mth nearly 2 million apple trees being planted by 1912. As the population of the Valley increased, small communities with churches, schools, businesses, community clubs, and other organizations thrived. 74 Prior to World War H, the federal government made a decision to build an aluminum plant in Spokane Valley along the Spokane River. Additionally, the federal government identified a need for warehouse space and facilities to support coastal activities during the war. In 1942, Spokane Valley was chosen as a site for one of theses Inland Supply Depots. The Naval Storage Yards are now the Valley Industrial Park that has 5,000,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area. Rapid growth continued in Spokane Valley throughout the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Along with this continued growth came concerns regarding the impact of the development on the Valley environment. Citizens' concerns were related to impacts to lakes in the area as well as the aquifer underlying a majority of the Spokane Valley. No protections were put into place to address these issues; sanitary sewers were not required for new construction. Steady residential and commercial growth continued in the Spokane Valley throughout the 80s and 90s. High tech companies followed Hewlett Packard into the Liberty Lake area. Later, some high tech companies moved into the Industrial Park. The State Board of Health threatened to enact a moratorium on new development in 1983, unless severing of the Valley began. In response, Spokane County developed a wastewater management plan that put into motion construction of a sewer trunk line and a sanitary sewer system was made available to the citizens of Spokane Valley. MAJOR PUBLIC FACILITIES AND PARKS IN SPOKANE VALLEY There are public facilities and a number of parks in the City of Spokane Valley. The Spokane Indians, a minor league baseball team, plays its home games at Avista Stadium, located just inside the city limits on the east side of Havana Street. This stadium is one of the finest facilities in the Northwest League and can seat 7,200 spectators. Situated next door to Avista Stadium is the Spokane County Fair and Exposition Center. The Fairgrounds was expanded in 2003 with the construction of a new covered grandstand that was opened at the 2003 Interstate Fair. Various other shows and events are held throughout the year at the Fairgrounds. Mirabeau Point Park, situated on 54.5 acres of land, located between Pines Road and Evergreen Road interchanges (north of I-90), along the south bank- of the Spokane River, is the home of CenterPlace. CenterPlace, a 54,000 square foot facility, was built to accommodate a regional senior center, education and business center, and a cultural and performing arts center. Mirabeau Meadows is a 15-acre parcel of land providing another area for community activities, such as family get-togethers and games, outdoor music, corporate outings, farmers markets, arts and crafts, and other special events in Mirabeau Point Park. Valleyfest, an annual community event that is sponsored by individuals and businesses in our City, was held in this park in 2004. 75 The City of Spokane Valley operates a number of parks within the City.

The potential of Spokane Valley is tremendous; with an adequate tax base and room for expansion of residential, commercial; and industrial growth. Spokane Valley rivals other cities in Eastern Washington in terns of population and significance in the region. The City is committed to planning for the future. It has adopted its first Comprehensive Plan, and its first Parks and Recreation Master Plan. It is in the process of creating a Sprague/Appleway revitalization plan to promote redevelopment of the major east-west corridor. The City is also creating a street master plan. 76 Appendix A EMPLOYEE POSITION CLASSIFICATION MONTHLY SALARY SCHEDULE 2008 Salary Schedule Effective 1/1/2008 Position Title Grade 2008 Range Ci Manager Unclassified Deputy Ci Manager 21 $7,818 - S10,023 City Attome 21 7,818 - 10,023 Community Development Director 21 7,818 - 10,023 Finance Director 21 7,818 - 10,023 Public Works Director 21 7,818 - 10,023 Parks and Recreation Director 19 6,332 - 8,119 Planning Manager 18 5,700 - 7,307 Building Official 18 5,700 - 7,307 Senior Engineer - Capital Projects, Development 18 5,700 - 7,307 Deputy City Attorney 18 5,700 - 7,307 Senior Engineer -Traffic, CIP Planning/Grants 17 5,130 - 6,576 Accounting Manager 17 5,130 - 6,576 City Clerk 16 4,616 - 5,918 Engineer 16 4,616 - 5,918 Senior Plans Examiner 16 4,616 - 5,918 Senior Planner 16 4,616 - 5,918 Associate Planner 15 4,155 - 5,327 Assistant Engineer 15 4,155 - 5,327 Public Works Superintendent 15 4,155 - 5,327 ITSpecialist 15 4,155 - 5,327 CenterPlace Coordinator 15 4,155 - 5,327 Human Resource Analyst 14 3,740 - 4,794 Accountant/Bud et Analyst 14 3,740 - 4,794 Administrative Analyst 14 3,740 - 4,794 Assistant Planner 14 3,740 - 4,794 Building Inspector II 14 3,740 - 4,794 Plans Examiner 14 3,740 - 4,794 Public Information Officer 14 3,740 - 4,794 Engineering Technician 14 3,740 - 4,794 Senior Permit Specialist 14 3,740 - 4,794 Maintenance/Construction Inspector 13-14 3,365 - 4,794 Recreation Coordinator 13-14 3,365 - 4,794 Code Enforcement Officer 13 3,365 - 4,314 Building Inspector 1 13 3,365 - 4,314 Planning Technician 13 3,365 - 4,314 Deputy City Clerk 12-13 3,029 - 4,314 Senior Center Specialist 12-13 3,029 - 4,314 Administrative Assistant 11-12 2,726 - 3,883 Permit Specialist 11-12 2,726 - 3,883 Accounting Technician 11-12 2,726 - 3,883 Maintenance Worker 11-12 2,726 - 3,883 Office Assistant II 10-11 2,453 - 3,495 Office Assistant 1 9-10 2,208 - 3,145 77 Appendix B OUTSTANDING GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS DEBT SERVICE SCHEDULE Year 2008 2009 2010-2014 2015-2019 2020-2024 2025-2029 2030-2033 r 4 Y Principal $ ,190,000 205,000 1,200,000 1,655,000 2,480,000 2,090,000 940,000 $ 8,760,000 Interest $ 406,872 401,173 1,885,112 1,612,068 1,135,250 519,250 112,500 $ 6,072,225 Total Requirements $ 596,872 606,173 3,085,112 3,267,068 3,615,250 2,609,250 1,052,500 $ 14,832,225 78 City of Spokane Valley Multiyear Financial Plan - General Fund - Problem Statement #1 7-31-07 General Fund Revenues: Sales Tax Property Tax Gambling Tax Franchise Fees/Bus.
