1. Council budget goals for 2007
= Discussion focused on the following possible topics for budget goals for 2007 and of the issues
surrounding those topics:
(a) acquiring the sewer system, trying to get an interlocal agreement finalized with the parties involved;
acquiring assets during the building phase of a new plan; seeking information from the County on details
of financing and interworkings of the sewer system; primary objective to get the discharge license; the
County's philosophy on ownership; putting ownership to a public vote; the collection system versus
ownership; managed implementation plan; the need to determine the exact amount of phosphorous going
into the river; how would this affect our current public works department; to verbalize the pros and cons
of taking over the collection versus the treatment portion and how rate payers would be affected.
(b) light rail and acquisition of Appleway; potential funding; maintain the right-of-way and the ability to
build in the future; accumulate land and maintain the rights-of-way with the recognition that no funding
needs to be in place until the density requires it; the need for public consensus; and the need for joint
planning. It was determined light rail would not be a budget goal would rather would be an item for a
future study session.
(c) annexation; and to identify potential growth areas and begin the process of annexation; that first an
annexation policy must be adopted; general policy versus specific areas to annex; and exploring
possibilities to handle growth population allocation.
(d) implementation of the parks masterplan including park acquisition, and grants for items such as a
universal park; upgrading Valley Mission Park, including picnic shelters and playgrounds.

(e) records management and document imaging; storage needs; citywide coordinated records management
including the legal and operational implications; major budget considerations; off-site archiving of
records and electronic filing.
(f) subarea plans; specific plan for Greenacres; guidelines for neighborhoods to start that process; future
street plan versus a complete subarea plan for specific areas, setting out locations of future arterials,
collectors, and residential streets; and instructing developers in the procedure for street plans. It was
determined this topic would be a good topic for a future study session.
The following are the draft 2007 goals:
1. 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.
2. Explore the available telecommunications infrastructure that may be accessed by public
institutions, residents, and businesses within Spokane Valley.
3. Adopt a sub-area plan for the Sprague Corridor and initiate the implementation of achievable
recommendations.
4. Amend the comprehensive plan to reflect accommodation of Spokane Valley population
projections within and adjacent to city limits and to outline an annexation policy procedure.
5. Adopt a Street Master Plan and draft a financial strategy to implement the plan.
6. Establish departmental priorities and incorporate them into a six-year business plan for each
department that includes forward looking budget and funding implications.
7. Adopt a Uniform Development Code that implements the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Goals for 2006
In refining the goals for 2006, it was determined to place records management as a 2006 goal and to place
the topic on a future study session; to continue work on #2 goal (Sprague corridor); and to remove #5
(telecommunications infrastructure).
Brief discussion followed concerning lease occupancy, city hall space needs, preference to be a tenant or
an owner, what kind of city hall building and where it should be located, funding, current lease
commitment and sub-letting possibilities; and whether it should be pat of the city center; which led
further focused discussion on a city. center, if it should include civic governmental buildings, public
facilities, should be tied in to a re-development subarea, proposed boundaries, sharing the building with
the library, the Safeco building, and having a marketing analysis conducted by the consultant. Mayor
Wilhite indicated her preference not to fast track a city hall, but to wait until we are further into the
subarea plan before pursuing that issue. Councilmember Denenny asked staff to discuss with the
consultant, if city hall plans would interfere with the consultant's long-term planning, or if it is such a
wide area as to not make a difference, and to ask if the consultant felt the city hall location would have a
major influence on public input. There was Council consensus that staff gather the information.
3. Business Planning Template
Deputy City Manager Regor explained that the template for a business plan is an information item
intended to give ideas of what could be in such a business plan; adding that the template was compiled by
Administrative Analyst Morgan Koudelka. She explained that as departments put their plan together, the
Council Staff Retreat June 17, 2006 Page 2 of 4
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
focus would be on cit)wide goals and using cityNvide decisions on what they are putting together, such as
~
the customer service plan. Director Regor explained the overview on page five of the packet materials,
and added that as a result of the plan summary, staff would know which strategies to implement over the
next years, keeping in mind the financial impact, and working within existing staffing resources. City
Manager Mercier added that after five years, we would move to a true performance based plan and
establish benchmarks to measure productivity; that this first iteration is more of what can we imagine
coming next; that the business plan is the needs analysis and lays the foundations for next target or future
needs.
Ms. Regor further explained that this is a process to first focus on defining the organization, and over time
deal with some more refinements, similar to what is now being done with some of the permitting
functions. Mr. Mercier stated that staff has been on a work marathon; and not being certain with future
financial footing, we have been very tempered in the amount of employees at the start; and that some
employees are facing burnout in the last several years; that we will start now to add in employees to get
the work done in the manner needed; and as an example, stated we only have one IT specialist for two
buildings. Mr. Mercier also stated that once more information is compiled and projects completed, such
as the subarea plan and street master plan, those facts will help further form the business plan.
The group broke for lunch at 12:30 p.m. and reconvene after lunch 1:20 p.m.
4. Updated Financial Forecast
Finance Director Thompson highlighted his financial packet material, including problem statement 4t1,
stating that the outlook is not quite as positive as back in February; revenues and expenditures, and that he
increased each department by approximately 6%; the $100,000 for temporary assistance (which will be
1 phased out over the next few years); sales tares with an approximate 2% increase; property tax; dropping
i card room revenues and that garrtbling drops have been experienced county-wide; and that the financial
forecast does not include any new staff, new programs, or expanded programs.
Director Thompson then addressed problem statement #2, the street find, and the continuing problem of
how to pay for snow plowing, fixing potholes, etc., and that we have established a reserve for severe
winters; that expenditures increased about 8%, some of which is due to our high dependence on oil, fuel,
and asphalt, adding that asphalt went Lip about 30% just this year. Problem statement #3 - capital
improvement program funding, also shows resources and expenditures for the next five years; and Mr.
Thompson mentioned that we do not have a separate arterial street fund as we are tracking that directly
into street funds. Director Thompson said that expenditures are difficult to project, as if we plan on a
project but can't get state participation, the costs jump around; and these figures are generally outdated
within a few weeks.
Councilmember Munson stated his preference to discuss impact fees at a future council meeting; adding
that it Would be his preference to invite all school districts to give their input based on each facility's
plans, and to also include parks, schools, and roads. After further discussion on impact fees, including
what various counties and cities charge, there was Council consensus to add impact fees to the July 18
study session. Director Thompson then explained page four of his handout, which showed the annual
projected shortfalls for problem statements 1, 2 and 3.
5. Joint Planning
Councilmember Munson distributed copies of the agenda for the June 19 Intergovernmental Cooperation
Forum, and explained that assistance on joint planning was sought from CTED, and Nancy Ousley would
be discussing a state perspective on planning for urban growth areas; and that Councilmember Munson
estimates there should be about 40-50 people at the meeting. The July 13 meeting with Senator Murray
was also mentioned, which will likely be held in the afternoon, to allow others to attend the TMDL

meeting earlier in that same day. Mr. Mercier mentioned that we might want to ask how annexation is i'
treated during the formulation of joint planning agreements; and suggested asking at that Monday
meeting, if all annexation is paired with revenue shared agreements.
6. Information Only: Workplaii Update. This is for information only and was not discussed.
7. Information Only: Annexation Approaches: This is for information only and was not discussed.
Other items of interest:
Councilmember Gothmarm mentioned a homeless initiative meeting he attended recently. He explained
that there are approximately 2,000 homeless in Spokane; 200 in the remainder of the County, and 100 of
which are in the Valley; that Spokane County and Spokane City along with Housing and Community
Development, are combining forces to spend funds of approximately $400,000 to assist the homeless; and
the Mayor of Spokane agreed to participate; that Spokane Mayor wants to keep administrative costs to a
minimum to keep the bulk of the funds for the homeless; that two committees have formed to set policy,
with a target of the end of this year to allocate funds. Councilmember Gothmann explained that this
would be a pilot program and could change over the next year; that a task force would be formed to take
in applications and make recommendations to the policy board on fund distribution; and that those entities
have asked us to schedule a resolution to consider joining this program. The goal, Mr. Gothmann
explained, is to cut homelessness in half in the next ten years. Councilmember DeVleming mentioned
there will be a need to distinguish between the homeless and transients, and perhaps others such as
panhandlers. Councilmember Gothmann stunted that there is a request that one councilmember serve on
the policy board and have three citizens on the task force. Discussion followed concerning a need to see
the written goals; anticipated expenditures; and that the board members and citizens would determine how
funds would be spent. It was determined this topic should be placed on an upcoming July council agenda
as an administrative report.
There being no further business, the meeting ended at 2:55 p.m.

ra~'.r STAFF REPORT
Spokane PROPOSED VACATION OF A PORTION OF OLD INDIANA AVENUE
j'~alley
Prepared by: Karen Kendall, Assistant Planner, Department of Community Development
Date: May 18, 2006
Findings:
1. Abutting Properties - The right-of-way proposed for vacation is located north of Interstate 90
and south of Indiana Avenue. There is no record of a street vacation for any portion of Old
Indiana Avenue by Spokane County in this area. The area was old railroad right-of-way given to
Spokane County. The portion of Old Indiana Avenue proposed to be vacated is bordered on the
north and south by Wireless Connections, LLC who's requesting the proposed action.
2. Utilities - A twenty (20) foot easement will be reserved for Consolidated Irrigation District.
Other easements may also be required for existing or future utilities including Washington State
Department of Transportation, Spokane County Utilities Division, Avista, Comcast, and Qwest.
The location of these easements is a requirement of the record of survey.
3. Access - Old Indiana Avenue's pavement stops approximately 370 feet southeast from the
intersection of Indiana Avenue and Old Indiana Avenue. The three (3) existing parcels abutting
the proposed right-of-way vacation area all have access onto Old Indiana Avenue. As a
recommended condition the City's Public Works Department is requiring access be restricted to
Indiana Avenue from Parcel Nos. 45104.9020, 45104.9034 R 45104.9036.
4. Zoning - Zoning abutting the north side of Old Indiana Avenue is Community Business (13-2)
and property abutting to the south is zoned Light Industrial (I-2). The three parcels which abut
the proposed street vacation are in the City's Comprehensive Plan Designation as Regional
Commercial.
5. Transportation - Existing fenced stonnwater treatment facility used by Washington State
Department of Transportation precludes the possibility of extending access further east along Old
Indiana Avenue to the east. The existing parcels abutting the proposed area as well as adjacent
parcels have access onto Old Indiana Avenue.
6. Condition - The proposed portion of Old Indiana Avenue is unproved with only asphalt. The
size, access and condition of the property preclude use by the City.
7. Assignment of Vacated portions of right-of-way - Absent objections from abutting properties
owners, right-of-way should be assigned to the petitioners, inasmuch as it appears that any
portion of the right-of-way to which they would lay claim will be transferred to them through
completion and a positive approval of the vacation. Abutting property owners have received
notice of the proposed vacation.
Conclusions:
1. The vacation of the street/alley will permit full development of the property for beneficial uses
and permit appropriate levels of maintenance.
2. The Public Works Department submitted comments which analyzed the need of Old Indiana
Avenue for future use and responded by specifying the requested portion is no longer required for
public use or public access subject to recommended conditions.
3. Given the present age and condition of adjacent development, it is unlikely that conditions will
change in the future to provide a greater use or need than presently exists; and
4. No objections have been received to the proposed vacation from the notice of public hearing
and/or routing to staff and agencies.
FINDINGS AND RECOIVEMENDATIONS OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY PLANNING
COMAUSSION
June 22, 2006
Findings.
1. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 25, 2006 to receive testimony
concerning the vacation of a portion of Old Indiana Avenue located north of Interstate 90 and
south of Indiana Avenue. The date of the hearing was set by City Council on April 25, 2006 by
Spokane Valley Resolution No. 06-006. Notice of the hearing was published on May 5, 20006 in
the Valley Herald, the official newspaper of the City, was posted in three conspicuous locations
within the City, was provided to the petitioners and abutting property owners, and a sign was
placed on the property providing notice of the hearing also completed on May 5, 2006.
2. The Planning Commission reviewed the report prepared by the Spokane Valley Community
Development Department in detail.
3. The vacation of the street/alley will permit full development of the property for beneficial uses
and permit appropriate levels of maintenance.
4. The Public Works Department submitted comments which analyzed the need of Old Indiana
Avenue for future use and responded by specifying the requested portion is no longer required for
public use or public access subject to recommended conditions.
5. Given the present age and condition of adjacent development, it is unlikely that conditions will
change in the future to provide a greater use or need than presently exists; and
6. No objections have been received to the proposed vacation from the notice of public hearing
and/or routing to staff and agencies.
Conclusions.

casements have been indicated.
\a
4. Access to Parcel Nos. 45104.9020, 45104.9034 R 45104.9036 shall only be from Old Indiana
Avenue. No access is granted to the improved 5-lane Indiana Avenue for the above parcels.
5. All direct and indirect costs of title transfer of the vacated street or alley from public to private
ownership including but not limited to title company charges, copying fees, and recording fees
are to be borne by the proponent. The City will not assume any financial responsibility for any
direct or indirect costs for the transfer of title.

zoning district designations.
7. A certified copy of the ordinance vacating a street or alley or part thereof shall be recorded by the
city clerk in the office of the Spokane County auditor.
8. All conditions of city council authorization shall be fully satisfied prior to any transfer of title by

Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report X pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Amended Fee Resolution
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Resolution 06-001 contains the existing fee schedule for the
city.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Resolution 06-001 was passed in January of 2006
and included updated fees. As the City moves into the second half of 2006 there are a few
additional changes that need to be incorporated into the fee schedule. The City Council
received information on the change to appeal fees at the May 16, 2006 council meeting and
information on Fire District 1 fees at the June 27, council meeting.
BACKGROUND: The city uses a resolution to establish fees for city programs, permits and
services. Periodically, the city must update the fee resolution to incorporate new or modified
fees. The changes needed at this time include:
1. Reducing an appeal fee (page 3) to $500 from $1,000 so the appeal fee doesn't exceed
the potential fine
2_ Reinstating the blasting permit fee (page 5)
3. Updating a $58 per hour charge (on page 7) for City employee plan review which was
overlooked when the last changes were made.
4. Updating fire code fees based on the recently completed agreement with Fire District 1.
5. Establishing a fee for large format copies
OPTIONS: Make changes to the proposed fees. Leave the fees as they exist today.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Motion to approve Resolution No. 06-014 amending
the Fee Resolution.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS. These changes are intended to clarify city fees. No
significant gain/loss in fees is expected.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: July 11, 2006 City Manager Sign-off: _
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent X old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE : Fire District 1 Fee Agreement
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City's fee resolution, which was last approved in
January of 2006, includes fees for Fire District 1 (FD1) services. At the request of Fire District
1, some Fire District fees are being changed. These changes were discussed at the council
meeting on June 25.
BACKGROUND: Since incorporation, the City has charged FD1 fees to those 'who obtained
approvals and/or building permits from the City. This approach allowed the City to provide "one
stop permitting." The City's fee resolution set fees high enough to pay Fire District"! for their
services and to provide a handling fee for the City's efforts.
FD1 has requested changes to their fees. City staff preferred to have the fees included in an
agreement between the two agencies. The attached agreement has been prepared by staff and
reviewed by FD1.
Fire District 1 also wanted to issue citations under the authority of the Spokane County Sheriff's
Office. This issue is best addressed between Fire District 1 and Spokane County.
The City recognizes the Fire District will occasionally issue citations for life safety code
violations under the County's authority. The attached agreement addresses the responsibilities
for costs and liabilities resulting from citation issuance, under section 11 of the agreement.
OPTIONS: 1.) Approve the agreement; 2.) Modify the agreement and then approve it; 3.)
Operate without an agreement; 4.) Discontinue assessing FD1 fees for FD1 services, when
permits are issued.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: A motion to approve the agreement and authorize
the City Manager or designee to execute the agreement.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If the City continues to assess FD1 fees for the District, a
handling fee of $35 is anticipated with each fee. This may result in less revenue to the City
($4,000/year?) However, the $35 handling fee recovers the City's costs and maintains the one
stop permitting process as we know it today.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Precinct Building Lease Agreement
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approved Precinct Building purchase on June 6,

This agreement reverses the roles of the County and the City in the previous Precinct

reflect Washington City Insurance Authority recommended language. In addition, if the County
terminates the agreement before the County's equity credit is exhausted, the City will pay the
County the remaining portion at the same rate that existed at the time of the termination.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the Lease Agreement Between
The City Of Spokane Valley and Spokane County regarding The Spokane Valley Precinct
Building located At 12710 EasbSprague, Spokane Valley; and to authorize the City Manager or
designee, to sign the agreement.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The City will pay the County for the full year of maintenance
in 2006 at an approximate cost of $60,000. In subsequent years, the City will provide
maintenance and charge the County for its proportionate share. The County will not make lease
payments to the City until its equity credit is exhausted, estimated to be in 2017.

and charge the CITY for its proportionate use.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Cost of living adjustment for non-
represented employees.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: During the FY 2006 budget preparation process,
funds to address prospective cost of living adjustments were provisioned. On March 28, 2006,
Council authorized a cost of living adjustment of four percent for non-represented employees,
and directed staff to re-evaluate consumer price indicators and their cost of living effects in three
months. This adjustment went in to effect April 1, 2006.
BACKGROUND: The cost of living adjustment authorized effective April 1, 2006 was the first
adjustment to the City's salary matrix since incorporation in 2003. As directed by Council, staff
has re-evaluated the indicators and their effects on the salary matrix and concludes that a total
of a six percent increase to the 2003 matrix would be in line with the indicators.
OPTIONS: 1. Approve a 6% cost of living adjustment to the 2003 salary matrix for non-
represented positions effective 7/16/06. 2. Request further information 3. Take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION:
Move to authorize a second adjustment to the 2003 salary matrix for non-represented
employees, effective July 16, 2006, that will complete a cumulative cost of living adjustment of
six (6) percent.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No unanticipated impact on the city budget.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Watershed Implementation Plan - Memorandum of Agreement
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 90.82 RCW -Watershed Planning
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Vote to approve WIRA 55/57 Watershed Plan
BACKGROUND: On May 24, 2005, City Council was presented the Draft Watershed
Management Plan for the Middle Spokane and Little Spokane watersheds (Watershed.
Resource Inventory Areas 55 and 57). At that meeting, Council voted to recommend approval
of the Watershed Plan. The WRIA 55/57 Watershed Plan was adopted by the Commissioners
of Spokane, Stevens and Pend Oreille counties on January 31, 2006.
The next step in the watershed planning process is to develop a Detailed Implementation Plan
(DIP). The DIP is developed by the Watershed Implementation Team (WIT), with Spokane
County acting as lead agency. The WIT is the successor to the Watershed Planning Unit, the
l group that developed the Watershed Plan. The WIT may include affected cities, counties,
public agencies, river users, industry and agriculture interests.
Spokane County proposes that guidelines for WIT membership and for developing the DIP be
established in the attached Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The MOA also includes two
attachments, the first of which establishes the list of WIT representatives. The second
attachment is a chart that shows resources that each implementing government is willing to
contribute. The WIT has received State grant funding that requires a local match, which can be
financial, or goods and services (such as staff hours).
If Council decides to participate on the WIT in developing the DIP, it is suggested that the City
minimally commit one staff member to attend one WIT meeting per month. City legal counsel
has reviewed the draft MOA and has not expressed any concern.
OPTIONS:
• Authorize Mayor's signature.
• Bring back MOA at a future Council meeting for further consideration.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Motion to approve the agreement and authorize.
Mayor Wilhite's signature on the Memorandum of Agreement.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Staff attendance at future WIT meetings.

Inventory Areas (WRJAs) 57 & 57;
WHEREAS, the process in ch. 90.82 RCW and this MOA is not intended to formally

Board of Commissioners.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1.0 Purpose: The purpose of this MOA is to take steps as possible and appropriate under R.CW
90.82.030 to involve local water resource users and local interest groups to give input and
direction into the watershed planning process. The goal of this collaboration is to reach a
collective understanding on the development of a Detailed Implementation Plan identified in
RCW 90.82.043 and RCW 90.82.048. REFERENCE: The Little and Middle Spokane
Watershed Management Plan (ver. 06/1612005).
This MOA is not an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement under ch. 3934 RCW. Interlocal
Cooperation Agreements pursuant to ch. 39.34 RCW are limited to Public Agencies to
accomplish governmental purposes and such Interlocal Cooperation Agreements may result from
the collaborative process supported in this MOA however.
2.0 Definitions:
"Consensus" means unanimous agreement.
"Detailed Implementation Plan" or "DIP" has the same meaning as used in RCW 90.82.043. and
RCW 90.82.048, as the document with the strategies implementing the Plan. [For references to
".Plan," see the Little and Middle Spokane Watershed Management Plan below.]
"Implementing Party" is any entity, including but not limited to an Indian Tribe, agreeing to
participate and having legal authority to contract to implement elements in the DIP. An
Implementing Party may be either an Implementing Government or an Implementing Non-
Governmental Member (NGM). These groups are further'described:
"Implementing Governments" are those governmental entities, including Indian Tribes,
having a role in Plan impl tation as ribed in the DIP, with legislative and
regulatory authority, whose j i i b olly or partly within the boundary of
WRIAS 55 & 57, and 1 to this MOA. For the purposes of
implementing the Plan, Ec e r 1, itself. This shall not prevent other State
Agencies from joining this a Iement.
Implementing NGMs are non-governmental persons or entities entering into contractual
relationships to implement elements as identified in the Plan. An implementing NGM
need not be a Watershed Implementation Team member.
"Implementation Matrix" is a document showing all recommended elements of an approved
J
1VRIA Plan as the final step in plan development and recommendations, as further explained in
Section 6.3.
"Implementing rules" has the definition in RCW 90.82.020 (2), which are the rules needed to

and, the City of Spokane.
"Lead agency" is that entity that shall convene the Watershed Implementation Team (WIT) and
administer the Phase Four Watershed Planning Grant Funds [Ref. RCW 90.82.040(2)]. The Lead
agency contracts for services, using funds available under ch. 90.82 RCW or contributed through
other sources. The Lead agency has no power to bind another Government without its expressed
written consent, through its governing body. The Lead agency shall likewise be responsible for

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: July 11, 2006
City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: consent ❑ old business new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information X admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE : Web Properties Office Space Lease
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City has approximately 20,000 square feet of
office space leased at Redwood Plaza on E. Sprague Avenue. The City Council has authorized
these leases during the last three years. The Finance Committee met in May and discussed
leasing additional space to house our employees and to store City files and records.
BACKGROUND:
Staff thought that files and records could expand in the current room (large room with no outside
windows near the east wall of the building) as the City grew. A review of building plans and a
tour of the structure by an architect indicated the floor in the file room (above the dance studio)
would not carry additional loading.
Northwest Christian Schools, the City's landlord, owns the one-story building immediately to the
west of the City's current site. During early 2005 the City leased warehouse space in that
building. There is currently office space available in that same building which.is approximately
75 feet from the west wall of the building the City currently occupies.
As the city adds employees, additional office space is needed. Space in the existing building is
limited and our current lease is for $15.15 per square foot per year. Space is available in the
building to the west for $12.50 per square foot for the remainder of 2006.
Terms of the lease are still being negotiated but it appears the building owner is willing to lease
the City 3,290 square feet in the building next door, under the following terms:
1. This lease will begin August 1
2. City will pay for 2,100 square feet but occupy 3,290 during the current year
3. During the first three months of 2007 the City will pay for 2,700 square feet but will
occupy 3,290 square feet
4. Beginning in April of 2007 the city will pay $12.88 per square foot per year (3% increase
in rate) for the 3,290 square feet in the building next door.
5. The lease rate will increase 3% on April 1 of 2008 and 2009.
6. This new lease will expire on April 1, 2010, with the termination of our other leases at this
site.
The current plan is for our Building Division to move into this space and to move their related
files to the new building (on a concrete slab) as well.
OPTIONS: 1.) Direct staff to proceed with a lease of office space as outlined; 2.) Direct staff
to proceed with a lease of office space with new changes identified by the City Council; 3.)
Direct staff to negotiate a lease at another site.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council consensus to direct staff to proceed with a
lease of office space as outlined.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There will be significant additional costs involved in leasing
office space, beyond the lease itself. Furniture, office cubes and one or more banks of rolling
files will be needed at an estimated cost of $130,000. However, these items can be taken to a
new facility when our lease expires.

become effective unless the appointing Government fails to appoint or reappoint a
representative within sixty (60) days of being notified. The appointing Government
can appoint a new representative or reappoint a removed representative with fully
restored voting rights at any time thereafter.
5.2.3 Government withdrawal: see section 8.3.
5.3 The WIT may adopt rules for operation, decision-making, and membership to
supplement those presented in this MOA but not in conflict with the MOA.
6.0 Process:
6.1 In so far as possible, all decisions of a quor-um of the WIT will be by consensus, but
the Implementing Governments must reach Consensus, whether or not in attendance
at a meeting. In addition, no decision may bind any Implementing Government to an
obligation without written approval of its governing body, with the exception of state
and federal agencies, whose representatives can agree to obligations. For the
purposes of this Mk OA, "Obligation" is defined in sec. 6.3.4.
6.2 Where Consensus has been reached among Implementing Government
representatives, whether or not in attendance, but a consensus cannot be reached
among other WIT members after a reasonable amount of time, approval for purposes
of participation of such non-government members shall be by majority vote among
those non-government members in attendance at a meeting and shall decide the issue
for such members. A `reasonable amount of time' as used in this paragraph is
determined by majority vote of all those WIT members in attendance at the meeting,
except that a reasonable amount of time shall not be less than deferring a vote until
the next regular meeting following the meeting with the call to vote.
6.3 Implementation Matrix. The Plan included an Implementation Matrix which sets
forth Issues and Recommendations. The Detailed Implementation Plan (DIP) shall
identify items creating an obligation on the part of any of the Implementing Entities
(Governments and NGOs), including their status as lead or cooperating (supporting),
as well as level of effort (including cost as available or reasonable estimate).
6.3.1 For the purposes of this MOA, the parties further state their intent that
no Implementing Rule, as defined in RCW 90.82.020, shall bind an
Implementing Government without its' written consent, approved in the
manner described above.
6.3.2 An Implementing Government which accepts and completes an
obligation as specified in the DIP shall be regarded as having fulfilled
it's responsibilities for these issues, recommendations, and/or strategies
under the Watershed Management Plan or other related regulatory
requiremen ing the fini s specified under the D.I.P.
6.3.3 NGMs ma I it(s) of the actions that impose an
obligation tten approval of their governing bodies,
with the e. f federal agencies, whose representatives
can a~-ee li ti s. h hall not preclude any requirement for a
contractual agreement for NGM Implementers to utilize funding from an
Implementing Government.
6.3.4 "Obligation" means any required action that imposes fiscal impact, a re-
deployment of resources or a change of existing policy.
6.4 All technical decisions will be based on best available science. For purposes of
Watershed Planning in WRIAS 55 & 57, the )VIT will use the criteria in WAC 365-
195-905. For such elements that include implementation. by Indian Tribal agencies,
best available science criteria may be modified to include best available science
determinations by tribal natural resource agencies or departments. '
6.5 Technical advisory group(s) and/or work group(s) may be established by the WIT to
provide reports and recommendations on specific issues.
7.0 Funding:
7.1 By signing this Agreement, the Implementing Governments intend to bind
themselves to the Grant Authority to provide resources as shown in Attachment B to
meet the "matching" portion of the grant for Phase Four.
7.2 Grant funds, match and staff or other contributed resources may be used for any
purpose approved by the Grant Authority and the contributing entities, including the
preparation of technical reports for review by the WIT and/or technical committees
and/or focus groups as approved by the WIT. The initial budget for Phase Four will
also be reviewed and approved by the WIT.
7.3 Participation in the WIT and/or technical committees and/or focus groups by all
participants, including officials and staff, shall be contributed time not eligible for
reimbursement from grant funding unless expressly approved by Implementing
Governments, consistent with the provisions of Chapter 90.82 RCW.
_J 7.4 The Implementing Governments recognize the financial burden watershed planning
places on smaller units of government and support their effort to secure outside
sources of finding to ensure effective participation by these entities.
8.0 Duration:
8.1 This MOA shall terminate 18 months from the date of the execution of this MOA.
8.1.1 in accordance with RCW 90.82.040(2)(e), a Detailed Implementation Plan
shall be approved by the WIT within one year from the date on which Phase
Four funds are accepted and utilized by the Lead Agency. Said Detailed
Implementation Plan shall require approval by the governing body of each
signatory agency of this agreement, with the exception of state and federal
agencies, whose repr t4can to obligations.
8.1.2 In the event developed and a pproved a Detailed
Implementation Ph n, inue to operate pending ratification by
governing bodies ay 8.2 Not withstanding 8.1, by written agreement signed by all parties to this MOA, this
MOA may be extended an additional period as agreed, not to exceed two (2) years.
8.3 Any WIT Member may withdraw from this MOA and the planning process at any
time. If any member withdraws, that member shall not be deemed a party to any plan
elements or agreement produced.
9.0 Modification: This MOA may be modified or amended only by a subsequent written
document, signed by all parties.
10.0 Preservation of fights:
10.1 The parties acknowledge that Chapter 90.82 RCW provides that the planning process shall
not result in provisions which conflict with federally reserved tribal rights. They agree that tribal
participation in this process shall not constitute an admission or agreement by the participating
tribe that any estimate of federally reserved tribal rights are binding on it, unless the affected
tribe expressly so agrees in writing at the conclusion of the process, and such'tribal agreement is
approved in writing by the appropriate agency of the United States Government (e.g. Bureau of
Indian Affairs).
10. 2 Reports and data from original studies conducted by or on behalf of the WIT are public
records pursuant to 40.14.010 RCW (preservation statute).
11.0 Effective Date: This document shall become effective and commence upon execution of
the MOA by the parties as listed herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we the undersigned have executed this MOA as of the date as
indicated.

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: July 11, 2006
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ® public hearing
N information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Information: Update on the Uniform Development Code (UDC)
schedule and public participation.
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.
BACKGROUND:
The City has one year to adopt regulations implementing the Comprehensive Plan. These
regulations will be incorporated into the Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code, including a
wide range of regulations, some of which the City Council has seen in the past. These
regulations are subject to the same requirements for early, continuous and collaborative public
participation as the Comprehensive Plan.
WAC 365-195-805 provides that a city ......planning under the act should develop a detailed strategy
for implementing its comprehensive plan. The strategy should describe the regulatory and non-regulatory
measures (including actions for acquiring and spending money) to be used in order to apply the plan in
J full. The strategy should identify each of the specific development regulations needed.
(1) Selection. In determining the specific regulations to be adopted, jurisdictions may, select from a wide
variety of types of controls. The strategy should include consideration of.
(a) The choice of substantive requirements, such as the delineation of use zones; general
development limitations concerning lot size, setbacks, bulk, height, density; provisions for
environmental protection; urban design guidelines and design review criteria; specific
requirements for affordable housing, landscaping, parking; levels of service, concurrency
regulations and other measures relating to public facilities.
(b) The means of applying the substantive requirements, such as methods of prior approval
through permits, licenses, franchises, or contracts.
(c) The processes to be used in applying the substantive requirements, such as permit
application procedures, hearing procedures, approval deadlines, and appeals.
(d) The methods of enforcement, such as inspections, reporting requirements, bonds, permit
revocation, civil penalties, and abatement.
(2) Identification. The strategy should include a list of all regulations identified as development regulations
for implementing the comprehensive plan. Some of these regulations may already be in existence and
consistent with the plan. Others may be in existence, but require amendment. Still others will need to be
written.
(3) Adoption schedule. The strategy should include a schedule for the adoption or amendment of the
development regulations identified. Individual regulations or amendments may be adopted at different
times. However, all of the regulations identified should be adopted by the applicable final deadline for
adoption of development regulations.
(4) The implementation strategy for each jurisdiction should be in writing and available to the public. A
copy should be provided to the department. Completion of adoption of all regulations identilled in the
strategy will be construed by the department as completion of the task of adopting development
regulations for the purposes of deadlines under the statute."'

The draft Comprehensive Plan Implementation Matrix identifies all policies included in the 2006-
2026 Comprehensive Plan, some of which will require development regulations and some of
which do not. Proposed regulations will be included in the proposed Spokane Valley Uniform
Development Code (SVUDC) and include Titles 17-25 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code.
The SVUDC will address WAC 365-195-805(1), (2) and (3). The Implementation Matrix will be
supplemented by the 2006-2007 SVUDC Work Matrix which will outline a schedule for
discussion of various chapters and topics before both Planning Commission and City Council,
as well as addressing the requirements of subsection (4) concerning public participation.
Although the chapters of each title are extremely important, some are of greater interest to
members of the public than others, as was the case with The Comprehensive Plan. In
summary, the titles are as follows:
Title 17
Title 18
Title 19
Title 20
Title 21
Title 22
Title 23
Title 24
Title 25
General Provisions
Administration

Pursuant to WAC 365-195-805(4) and the adopted Public Participation Guidelines, and to
economize on the number of meetings for both the Planning Commission, staff and members of
the public, the following is proposed:
1. The Planning Commission "Advance Agenda" will be published on the web and e-mailed
to all persons on the lists of interested persons identified during the development of the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. Staff will prepare a draft of each-title for public review prior to any discussion at the
Planning Commission. The draft will have received comprehensive review by all city
departments, including the City Attorney.
3. Planning Commission will discuss each Title during at least two public meetings prior to
any public hearing. Planning Commission will accept written comments and open the
discussion to public comment during these meetings.
4. Recommendations of the Planning Commission will be posted on the City's web-site in
advance of each meeting, and prior to any public hearing. Planning Commission may
continue public hearings to subsequent meetings if necessary.
5. The recommendations of the Planning Commission will be forwarded to City Council with
a minority report, if appropriate.
6. The public hearing for a number of titles may be held on the same day.
The proposed advance agenda includes a Planning Commission meeting on August 31, 2006
(5t' Thursday) which includes a discussion on Title 21 Environmental Controls. This meeting is
a substitute for the September 14, 2006, meeting which we has been pre-empted for the
Sprague/Appleway Sub-area Plan Community meeting.

As tidy as the schedule appears now, some slippage should be expected, particularly during
consideration of predictably hot topics such as:
19.40 Non-conforming Uses
19.110 Residential accessory uses in detached structures
22.40 Height & Area Standards for zoning designations
22.60 Off-street parking & loading
22.80 Landscaping
Development Code issues which have not been scheduled include the UR-1 Interim Zoning
designation (expires September 6, 2006) and changes to the sign regulations, which are on-
going. - Overlay designation to be established along the Sprague/Appleway corridor have been
deferred pending completion of sub-area plan. The Sprague/Appleway Sub-area Plan is likely
to propose some type of "form-based zoning". It will be necessary to schedule some time for
the Council and Planning Commission to review the principles of this type of zoning.
With the general concurrence of the City Council, staff will finalize the 2006-2007 SVUDC Work
Matrix scheduling both discussion and hearings.
All proposed implementing regulations must be submitted to the Community Trade & Economic
Development Department (CTED) not less than sixty days prior to final adoption by the City
Council. All regulations also require a threshold determination under the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA) as a non-project action.
J OPTIONS: Schedule for further discussion or take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: None required.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.

Public Participation Guidelines
Comprehensive Plan Implementation Matrix DRAFT
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Public Participation Program
RCW 36.70A.140 of the Washington Growth Management Act requires that each city "establish
and broadly disseminate to the public a public participation program for early and continuous
public participation in the development" of the city's Comprehensive Plan.
Consistent with the recommendations of the GMA which emphasize the involvement of the
broadest cross-section of the community, including the involvement of groups not previously
involved, the City of Spokane Valley adopts the following program for citizen participation in the
planning process:
1. Visioning Process - This process provides Spokane Valley citizens an opportunity to
establish a framework and context upon which the comprehensive plan will be based.
Planning Commission meetings will provide the forum for the initial community visioning
process. A draft "Vision" will be tested for consistency during the development of the
Plan as the community identifies priorities and implementation strategies and updated
accordingly. The ultimate "Vision" will be established at the conclusion of the planning
process as a result of community participation.
2. Planning Commission. The Planning Commission will play a key role in establishing the
City's dialogue with community members, hosting a series of meetings and workshops
during the development of the Plan. The Planning Commission will evaluate information
provided by the community and develop recommendations for submission to the City
Council.
3. Citizen Survey - The City will conduct a statistically valid survey of the citizens of
Spokane Valley. Survey questions will address specific issues of the comprehensive
plan that will provide city staff, planning commission and city council with meaningful
input for development of the comprehensive plan.
4. Public Meetings. Conduct a series of public meetings hosted by the Planning
Commission on, the preliminary draft comprehensive plan. This ensures that the City will
meet the requirement for "early and continuous" public participation in the
comprehensive planning process.
5. Public hearings. A series of Public Hearings (not less than three) will be held before the
Planning Commission to discuss the draft Plan. It is anticipated that at least two public
hearings will be held by the governing body prior to adoption of the Plan. An additional
public hearing will be held if substantive changes are made to the Plan document.
6. Public notice. The City will provide notice of all meetings and hearings pursuant to the
requirements of RCW 36.70A.020,.035, and. 140.
8-13-2003
Adopted by Council 9-23-2003
7. Written Comment. The public will be invited to submit written comments as each
element of the Plan is developed, as part of any workshops or community meetings.
Comments will be specifically solicited from residents, special interest organizations and
business interests. Comments may be in the form of letters and other correspondence
to the city regarding the plan or comments received electronically on the city's website.
Log in all written comments received according to specific area of comprehensive plan.
8. Communications Programs & Informational Services - As staff and budgetary resources
allow, the activities will be undertaken to ensure broad-based citizen participation:
a. Comprehensive Plan newsletter - updating the community on planned meetings,
workshops or other significant comprehensive plan events. Articles on topics related to
the plan and a request for feedback from the community on topics related to the plan.
The newsletter will be disseminated via the city's website, emailed to a mailing list and/or
provided in paper copy as appropriate.
b. Interest Groups - Contact local interest groups (i.e. Chamber of Commerce, home
builders, environmental, neighborhoods, etc.) and arrange to meet and discuss relevant
comprehensive plan issues.
c. Community Workshops - Conduct community workshops hosted by the Planning
Commission in different parts of the city to encourage neighborhood participation in the
development of the comprehensive plan. These meetings will be held at neighborhood
schools, churches or other community facilities.
d. Press Releases & Public Service Announcements - Work with the local newspapers,
radio stations and televisions stations to advertise and promote significant events related
to the comprehensive plan.
e. Provide written articles to local media for publication.
f. Establish a Speaker's Bureau through the Planning Commission which will be
available to address service clubs and interested citizen groups.
g. Develop a database of interested citizens and provide regular correspondence
concerning the status of Plan development.
h. Identify key resource personnel representing agencies and groups whose plans will
be integrated into the Comprehensive Plan, including but not limited to fire districts,
utilities, libraries and school districts.
i. Maintain a log of all public participation meetings, events and actions that the city
engages in to provide documentation on the city's effort to meet the requirements of the
G MA.

Re: Model Jail and Geiger Agreements
The City has contractual agreements with Spokane County for confinement services as well as for
alternatives to incarceration such as work crews, work release, and electronic home monitoring.
These services are provided by the Spokane County Jail and by Geiger Correctional Facility.
City staff has been working with Spokane County staff to draft model agreements for these two
C agreements and convert them to settle-and-adjust" agreements.
`J On February 28, 2006, Council approved several model service agreements with Spokane
County. The language from those model agreements has been incorporated into the Jail and
Geiger agreements, providing consistency throughout all the County service agreements.
The cost methodology has also been revised for these two agreements, from a pay-as-you-go
style to a settle-and-adjust format.
Old Cost Methodology
• Consultant developed rates based on actual costs for calendar year two years prior to
contract year.
• City usage was tracked on a monthly basis.
■ Rates were applied to City usage.
• City was invoiced on a monthly basis.
• All monthly payments were final.
New Cost Methodology
• Consultant develops estimated rates based on budgeted costs for contract year.
■ City's actual usage for a twelve-month period is used as an estimate for the contract year.
■ Estimated rates are applied to estimated usage to determine an estimated annual cost.
• Estimated annual cost is divided into twelve equal payments.
■ After the contract year is closed, the consultant determines the actual costs for services
and develops actual rates.
■ Actual rates are applied to actual City usage.
■ Actual annual cost for City is determined and reconciled to payments made throughout the
year.

■ Anti-subsidization clause
• Recognition of potential impact of revenue-reducing initiatives (state)
• All medical costs incurred after booking will be absorbed by County and factored into rates
• Charging guidelines defined

• 180-day termination clause
• Monthly payments
■ Year-end reconciliation (Settle-and-adjust methodology)
• Actual costs
• Dispute resolution procedure
■ November 1 notification of rates for subsequent year
■ Monthly usage reports provided
• Capital expenditures will be factored into the rates of the year the improvement(s) occur,
capped at $500,000 for a single item and $1 million aggregate for the year. Unused
capital payments will be refunded to the City upon termination of the agreement.*
• Anti-subsidization clause
■ Recognition of potential impact of revenue-reducing initiatives (state)
• All medical costs incurred after booking will be absorbed by County and factored into rates
• An operating reserve of $500,000 will be built up over 2 year's time (2007 and 2008) and
factored into the rates.
• Charging guidelines defined
* Spokane Valley confinement days comprise approximately 1.6% of total Geiger confinement
days. The maximum capital cost impact to the City according to this usage would be $16,000.
Applying this usage rate to the reserve build-up equates to a financial impact to the City of
approximately $4,000 per year.

Re: Spokane County Communication Maintenance Agreement
The Spokane County Communications Department is part of the Sheriffs Office. This
department provides maintenance, repairs, and upgrades to the communication system
that serves the Spokane County area.
The Spokane County Communication System consists of items such as radio towers,
mountaintop microwaves, pager systems, radio systems, and vehicle communication.
These communications are utilized mostly by the Sheriffs Office for law enforcement
service but other County departments are served as well, such as Animal Control,
Emergency Management, the Public Defender's Office, the Jail, the Prosecuting
Attorney's Office, County Utilities, Geiger, and the County Roads and Engineering. In
addition, all the fire districts and the City of Airway Heights utilize these services.
The County realized at the end of 2005 that they were not receiving payment for these
services. The communications department is not a central service department that flows
through the indirect costs of the cost allocation plan; it is not an enterprise fund that
charges for all its services; and it is not a function of the Sheriffs Office that is included in
the City's Law Enforcement Agreement.
As a result, the County drew up a draft agreement for communications services and the
County and City negotiating teams have been working on a cost methodology that
provides a fair and accurate basis for charging the City for these services.
The result of these negotiations is that we now have a draft "settle-and-adjust" type of
agreement that breaks the communications costs out among departments and
jurisdictions served. A City usage factor is then applied to those allocated amounts.
Typically the city's usage factor is derived from separate service contracts with various
County departments.
Other small cities that contract with the County are now paying for communication
services through their law enforcement agreements.
