along fine and reminded everyone of the December 4 date. Mayor DeVleming also mentioned that

PUBLIC COMMENT:
Glen W. Kivett, N. 17 Walnut Road, directly opposite Aces Casino: stated he has a problem with the

DeVleming mentioned staff will investigate this issue and contact Mr. Kivett.
Marie Salisbury, 12465 E. Olive: stated her concern with library services and said she would appreciate it
if we would continue the library services as they are today.
Robert Cole, 11417 E. 24 said he is here to speak on the library issue and agrees with the pervious
woman's comments; that the transition committee report suggested that if we were going to make some
changes with the library, it should have been done earlier so the library can establish its budget by
January 1.
Barbara Lomax, 12828 E. Blossey: stated her concern with possible cutting of library services.
PUBLIC REARING:
a. Proposed Amendment to 2003 Budget.
Mayor DeVleming opened the public hearing at 6:22 p.m. Finance Director Ken Thompson then
explained that the 2003 budget amendment is to allow for the bond sale costs for both CenterPlace and

Mayor DeVleming invited public comment; none was offered. Mayor DeVleming closed the public
hearing at 6:25 p.m.
b. Proposed Adoption of 2004 Budget
Mayor DeVleming opened the public hearing at 6:26 p.m. Finance Director Ken Thompson said that this
is the third and final hearing for the 2004 budget; that public notice has been provided in the newspaper,
this item has been on several past council meetings since last August; that the budget is balanced; and
staff believes this will provide the same or better level of service and meets or exceeds promises made
when the bonds were previously sold. Mr. Thompson added that the budget also begins paying the debt
which was incurred during the first year of operation.
Mayor DeVleming invited public comment:
(1) Steve Peterson, Mayor of Liberty Lake extended congratulations on the formulation of the first budget
for a complete calendar year and on behalf of the Liberty Lake citizens and his council, commends this
council and staff for this budget; and that he looks forward to working together. (2) Barbara Lomax, 2828

seconded by Councilmember Munson to advance Ordinance 03 -096 to a second reading. After brief
explanation of the budget process by City Manager Mercier, Mayor DeVleming invited public comment;
none was offered. Councilmember Munson added that in regard to the previous question of this balanced
budget without budgeting for the library, that calculations were made using the 50 cents per $1,000
revenue generated from the property tax to fund any final decision on how this process might proceed,
and that was taken into account in this budget; and that final budget will be finalized at the next meeting.
City Manager Mercier added that the County Assessor has not yet completed his task of documenting the
base value against which any rate of taxation would be applied, and that the budget contains the best
estimates available. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None.
Motion carried.
5. Proposed Ordinance 03 -097 Amending Chapter Relatingto Adult. Retail Businesses — First Reading
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance by title, it was moved by Councilmember Munson and
seconded by Councilmember Flanigan to advance Ordinance 03 -097 to a second reading at a future
meeting. Deputy Attorney Driskell explained that the Planning Commission recommended elimination of
the amortization schedule and period for the existing adult retail businesses, which means those
businesses would not be forced to move or end their business in September 2005. Attorney Driskell
added that the current litigation in the City of Spokane deals with the definition of adult entertainment
retail facility, and relates specifically to how much stock a business has which would qualify them for
adult entertainment retail facility. In reference to the hours of operation, Attorney Driskell said that a
recent case in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, of which we are a part, ruled that a City or a State can
impose limited hours of operation. Attorney Driskell said options for tonight are to examine the issue of
hours of operation, to remove tonight's matter from tonight's agenda and have the natter go back to the
Planning Commission and consider hours of operation in addition to what is being proposed, or to instruct
staff to later pursue the matter of hours of operation. Attorney Schwartz added that the ordinance before
Council tonight does not address hours of operation and he feels more study is necessary to adequately
address that matter, and that the ordinance can always be amended later. Attorney Driskell pointed out
that hours of operation can be handled as a zoning function or a licensing function. Council expressed the
desire (except Councilmember Taylor) to have staff complete work on the hours of operation issue and to
bring that back later for further council consideration.
Mayor DeVleming invited public comment.
Penny Lancaster, 14816 F. Farwell: said she is with the organization Community Impact Spokane, and
that they support this ordinance on hand, but that she wanted to address the issue of hours of operation to
begin to establish a record of the issue. (She handed a report to the City Clark for later distribution to the
Councilmembers.) She said her organization is asking the City to restrict the time that adult retail stores
can operate, and to allow them to operate between 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. only, giving the stores 17
hours a day, seven days a week in which to operate.
Kim Arrotta, 18318 E. Riverway: spoke to the issue of council addressing hours of operation and the
problems that continue as the businesses remain open for 24 hours.
Council Minutes 11 -25 -03 Page 3 of 5
Date Approved by Council:
Bill Gothmann, 10010 East 48 said he is Chair of the Planning Commission, and that the Commission
wants to see this issue pursued, but this ordinance tonight is not the venue for doing that, and that the
Planning Commission voted unanimously in favor of this ordinance.
Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried
6. Adoption of Proposed Fee Resolution 03 -053 for Calendar Year 2004.
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the fee resolution by title, it was moved by Mayor DeVleming and
seconded by Councilmember Munson to approve Resolution 03 -053. Deputy City Manager Regor
explained the few changes from the last time council reviewed the fee and accompanying schedule, and of
the few items which were eliminated, such as parks and recreation room use and gym rent fees. Mayor
DeVleming invited public comment; none was offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous.

also legally affordable.
10a. Library Agreement.
Deputy City Regor went over her PowerPoint discussion and said that this service is one which staff has
been working on since incorporation. Councilmember Wilhite added that once the survey is completed,
we will have a better handle on what services are needed and where, and that the survey is necessary to
determine the services needed for the community. Mayor DeVleming said that staff could also consider
other options such as contracting with schools, or even creating our own library; and that in order not to

Budget Message
Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2004
Dear Mayor, City Councilmembers and Citizens of Spokane Valley:
I am pleased to introduce the budget document for Fiscal Year 2004, which will be this
City's first full year in operation. The budget is a product of the combined efforts of the
City Council, staff and citizens to identify and address the service needs of the
community and provide funding to meet those needs as best we can within the available
resources. The City Council has established specific goals and policy initiatives for
implementation in the coming year and the proposed budget allocates resources in a
manner that accomplishes City Council objectives on behalf of Spokane Valley residents.
The Current Year in Review
In this first budget message from me as city manager, I will forego the temptation to
describe in detail the many accomplishments that resulted from the hard work of your
elected officials and the new staff that have come together to fully launch this new
venture in self - government. Instead of a description of recent successes, I believe that
sharing with the community the Statement of Core Beliefs adopted by the City Council
will be far more informative about how this organization aims to serve the residents of
Spokane Valley. It is said that you can not get to where you want to be, unless you know
your destination. In first months in the life of the new City, much attention has been
given to laying the foundation of core beliefs, philosophy, and customer service
orientation upon which city services will be provided in the long term. I am pleased to
share with the citizens of Spokane Valley the beliefs that so profoundly guide the nature
and conduct of city government and create the vision for self - government the City
Council believes will fulfill the purposes of incorporation.
STATEMENT OF CORE BELIEFS
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to provide a clear set of general policy guidelines
for the conduct of city government;
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of thc City of Spokane Valley does hereby
affirm and resolve that the following core beliefs shall serve as guidelines for the conduct
of affairs by all branches of Spokane Valley City Government.
We believe that Spokane Valley should be a visionary city encouraging its citizens and
their government to look to the future beyond the present generation and to bring such
ideas to public discussion and to enhance a sense of community identity.
We believe that the elected body decision making is the only lawful and effective way to
conduct the public's legislative business and that careful observance of a clear set of
2
Governance Coordination rules of procedure can best enhance public participation and
decision snaking.
We believe in the City Council as policy leaders of the City. One or more City
Councilmembers are encouraged to take the lead, where practical, in sponsoring
Ordinances or Resolutions excepting quasi -judicial or other public bearings and the
statutory duties of the City Manager as set forth in RCW 35A.13.020.
We believe in bearing the public view. We affirm that members of the public should be
encouraged to speak and be beard through reasonable rules of procedure when the public
business is being considered thus giving elected officials the broadest perspectives from
which to make decisions.
We believe that the City of Spokane Valley's governance should be k as "user
friendly," and that governance practices and general operations should consider how
citizens will be served in the most responsive, elective and courteous manner.
We believe that the economic and commercial job base of the community should be
preserved and encouraged to grow as an alternative to increasing property taxes. We
believe it imperative to have an expanded and diverse economic base.
We solicit the City Manager's support in conducting the affairs of the Cit with due
regard for:
Promoting mutual respect between the Citizens, City staff and the City council by
creating the organizational team work necessary for effective, responsive and open
government.
Providing the City Council and public reasonable advance notice when issues are to be
brought forward for discussion.
Establishing and maintaining a formal city - wide customer service program with
emphasis on timely response, a user - friendly atmosphere and an attitude of facilitation
and accommodation within the bounds of responsibility, integrity, and financial
capability of the City, including organizational and job description documents while
pursuing "best practices" in customer service.
Seeking creative ways to contain or impede the rising cost of governmental services,
including examination of private sector alternatives in lieu of governmentally provided
services.
Providing a database of future projects and dreams for the new City of Spokane
Valley so that good ideas from its citizens and leaders are not lost and the status of
projects can be readily determined.

The Coming Fiscal Year
The City Council sets priority goals for achievement each year. The goals they establish
represent just those areas of concern or opportunity that the staff will concentrate on in
addition to their various everyday responsibilities. The six (6) specific focus areas the
City Council has directed staff attention to in 2004 are:
Experiment with a Managed Competition Program designed to identify alternative
Service providers at more economical rates than accorded by current service providers.
Initiate the Development of Spokane Valley's First Comprehensive Plan which will
create the City's long -term vision and link transportation system improvements to land
use goals in support of that vision.
Continuously Improve Overall Communication between government and its citizens,
between staff and Council, among staff, and between Councilmembers.
Develop a Five - Year Strategic Financial Plan that forecasts revenues and expenses as
well as identifies funding and financial challenges and options.
Develop and Strengthen External Relations to advance the interest of Spokane Valley
through interaction and advocacy with neighboring jurisdictions, the state legislature,
funding boards and commissions, the congressional delegation and statewide and national
municipal organizations.
Develop an Approach for Long - Term Wastewater Services including the evaluation
of a regional system option.
In closing, I would like to thank the Mayor and City Council and all of the individual
staff members who have worked so hard moving the City forward. You have given
generously of your time and energy during this start-up year filled with learning, tough
decisions, bard work and an incredible sense of accomplishment. Your diligence helps
brighten the future of our new City. Thanks also for the patience shown and feedback
given by many citizens who have demonstrated their interest in the activities the new City
has undertaken to improve the quality of life in Spokane Valley.
Respectfully submitted,
David Mercier

The budget provides four functions:
11707 E Sprague Ave Suite 106 ♦ Spokane Valley WA 99206
509.921.1000 ♦ Fax: 509.921.1008 • cityhall@spokanevatley.org
TO: David Mercier, City Manager and Members of Council
FROM: Ken Thompson, Finance & Administrative Services Director
DATE: October 21, 2003
SUBJECT: About the Budget and the Budget Process
The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds.
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.
1. A Policy 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 staff.
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 Plannine 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 (RCW). 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
5
estimated, along with available cash carry- forward, to indicate funds available. The
budget takes into account unforeseen contingencies and provides for the need for periodic
adj ustments.
Year 2004 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.
This incremental process recognizes that most mandated functions will not likely change
from year to year, but 2004 is different. 2003 was the City's start-up year, and its budget
wasn't set up with an eye to ongoing operation. Therefore, the major emphasis for 2004
is to provide the foundation upon which future budgets will be based. It is focused
around Council priorities and requested increases in funding.
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
October.
In August, departments prepare requests for new staff, programs, or significant increases
to their current year budget that will address emerging issues and other operational needs.
113 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 August and September, the departments also
develop their base budgets. These budget requests are submitted to the Finance
Department by the middle of September.
In late September, 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 October or early
November. 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.
6
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 used as intended. 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 authorized 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.
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.
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 the direct costs associated with
providing those services.
Budget adjustments requiring City Council approval will occur through the
ordinance process at the fund level coordinated by the Finance Department and
will occur prior to fiscal year end.
The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services
plan in a Council/constituent- friendly format.
A balance of 8% to 15% of revenues is the goal for the General Fund fund
balance, except in start -up years when this level is impractical. It is expected to
take up to seven years to attain this targeted fund balance. All draws on the
General Fund balance may be used only for one time capital expenditures, not
operating costs. A contingency fund of 1.5% of General Fund revenues is set
aside to take proper steps toward at least attaining this target.
At full stabilization in the eighth year, 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. Long term debt will 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 will be reviewed
annually as part of the budget process.

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 Washington State law, Chapter 43.09.20
RCW, and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds, 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 funds 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 funds include the
Street Fund, Arterial Street Fund, Trails & Paths Fund, and Hotel/Motel 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 Limited Tax General Obligation Fund..
Capital Project Funds
These funds account for financial resources, which are designated for the acquisition or
construction of general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include the
Capital Project Fund, Special Capital Projects Fund and the Streets Capital Projects
Fund.
9
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 non - current 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 two 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 funds.
Internal Service Funds
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.

GENERAL FUND REVENUES:
EXPLANATION OF REVENUE SOURCES
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 #1, #8 and #9, which leaves the City with the authority to levy
$2.10 for its own purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance by November
15th prior to the levy year.
Local Retail Sales and Use Tax
The local retail sales and use tax is comprised of t‘vo 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 1110 of 1% of retail sales
transacted in the County. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 10% to the County,
with the remainder being distributed by population to the cities and the unincorporated areas of.
the County.
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); Punch Boards (5% gross); Pull Tabs (5% gross); Card playing (10% gross).
Leasehold Excise Tax
Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties (City's
share).
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
State - shared revenues are received for liquor receipts, and motor vehicle excise taxes including
travel trailer and camper excise tax. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and
11
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 2003 population figure used in the 2004 Preliminary Budget is 82,005 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 protective 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 and the City, on average,
keeps only 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 relaxed to providing the program.
Investment Interest
The City makes investment interest on sales tax, property tax, and fund investments.
OTHER FUND REVENUES:
STREET FUND:
Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (Pas tax)
There are two separate distributions to cities of revenues from this tax. Cities with a population
of 15,000 and above are required to account for the per capita share of the unrestricted gas tax as
a source to finance street maintenance Cities in this population group are also required to
account for the per capita share of the restricted gas tax to be used for arterial street construction.
Both distributions must be accounted for in separate funds, the Street Fund receives the
unrestricted portion of the gas tax, while the restricted portion goes to the Arterial Street Fund.
The City's allocation for the gas tax for 2004 is $14.13 per capita.
12
ARTERIAL STREET FUND:
Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (vas tax)
This fund receives its tax revenue &OM the restricted portion of the gas tax. This Fund is to
provide capital project funding as well as major maintenance functions on arterial streets. The
City's allocation for the gas tax for 2004 is $6.61 per capita
TRAILS & PATH FUND:
A small percentage of the City's gas tax must be set aside for trails and paths. This money will
likely accumulate for several years until adequate dollars are available for a project.
HOTEL/MOTEL FUND:
This fund receives all revenue resulting from the Hotel/Motel Tax levied upon charges made for
the furnishing of lodging by a hotel, rooming house, tourist court, motel, trailer camp and other
transient accommodations in the City. The tax rate is 2 percent of the selling price or charge
made for the lodging. 1.t is collected and administered by the Washington State Department of

principally to support tow activities and related facilities, as prescribed by RCW
67.28310.

excise tax on each sale of real property at the rate of one - quarter of one percent of the selling
price. The revenue generated is be used for financing public works capital projects as specified
in the capital facilities plan under the Growth Management Act.
1 3
INTERFUND TRANSFERS:
Many funds receive their revenues from other funds in the form of an interfund transfer. These
transfers may represent payments for service, an operating transfer, or a concentration of
revenues for a specific project. The following funds receive transfers from other funds.
Street Capital Projects Fund is budgeted to receive transfers from Arterial Streets,
$600,000, and Special Capital Projects, $200,000, for Transportation Improvement Board
grant matching funds. Bond sale proceeds in 2003 in the amount of $2,430,000 will also
be used in this fund on street projects.
Equipment Rental & Replacement is budgeted to receive transfers from the General fund
for interfund charges in the total amount of $131,634.
Risk Management Fund is budgeted to receive $137,500 from the General Fund for
employment security payments and City insurance premiums.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FEE:
This fee is imposed upon every developed parcel of property within the City and is an annual
charge of $10.00 for each single family unit and $10.00 per 3,160 square feet of impervious
surface for all other properties. These charges are uniform for the same class of customers or
service facilities. These fees are estimated to be $747,500 for 2004.

COMMUNITY PROFILE AND HISTORY
You cannot look to the future if you do not know the past."
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 eighth largest city in the
State, with approximately 82,005 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 2004 tax collection to be approximately $4,600,000,000, which
does not yet include valuation for personal property, utility and railroad property in the
boundaries of the City. 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 5,000 businesses in Spokane Valley
with estimated retail sales of 51.5 billion and an assessed value of 54.6 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 Northern Pacific Railroad opened the west up with the transcontinental
railroad. The new railroad, coupled with the discovery of silver in north Idaho, created
an influx 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 with 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.
Prior to World War II, 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 sewering
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, 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 City's newest cultural development currently under construction. It has been
designed as a multiuse community campus that will provide public, educational,
recreational, and cultural activities for its citizens.
CenterPlace, a 48,000 square foot facility, will be built to accommodate a senior center,
education and business center, and a cultural and performing arts center.
Mirabeau Meadows is a 15 -acre parcel of land currently under development and will
provide 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, will be held on September 20, 2004.

businesses prior to incorporation (Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 61), On August 26, 2003, the
Council extended the moratorium for 6 additional months (Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 76 )_
The Council directed staff and the Planning Commission to review interim regulations and to
recommend changes to ensure the community is protected from the secondary effects of adult
businesses.
On August 14, 2003, Planning Staff briefed the Planning Commission on the current zoning
regulations for Adult Retail and Adult Entertainment establishments_ Adult oriented businesses
are allowed in the B -3 and B - zones with a minimum of 5 contiguously zoned acres of property.
The business must be at least 1000 feet from residentially zoned property, public Libraries,
public playgrounds or parks, public or private schools and grounds, nursery schools and
daycares, places of religious worship and another adult business.
The Zoning Code also requires nonconforming adult retail businesses to relocate to a suitable
location or close by September 7, 2004 (amortization requirement), On August 26, 2003, the
City Council extended this date one additional year, to September 7, 2005_
On September 11, 2003, Staff presented the following options for the Commission to consider:
Option 1. No change to current zoning code standards. Adult Retail businesses would be
required to close or relocate at the end of the amortization period, which was
extended by City Council to September 7, 2005,
Option 2. Delete amortization provisions_ No change to the buffering requirements from
sensitive uses, such as churches, schools, day cares, etc.
Option 3. Keep amortization requirements but reduce buffering andior open up new zones,
such as Industrial, to allow enough sites for potential relocation of Adult Retail
businesses.
Maps showing 750' and 1000' buffer areas from sensitive uses (schools, churches,
playgrounds) were reviewed by the Commission at the meeting. Staff recommended preparing
a Zoning Code amendment to implement Option 2. This recommendation is due to concern
about forcing adult retail businesses to relocate to new areas that do not currently have such
businesses, and unintended impacts that would result from relocation.
After discussion, the Planning Commission agreed to proceed with Option 2. The Commission
also requested that Staff review the 1000' buffer map to ensure a sufficient number of sites that
conform to zoning code standards for siting adult businesses. Staff reviewed the buffer maps
and conducted site visits to areas shown on the map show as meeting zoning code standards.
The maps are accurate, with all sensitive uses appropriately buffered.
On September 25, 2003, a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued by the
Community Development Department. No comments were received concerning the DNS.
On October 9, 2003, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing to consider Option 2
above. The Planning Commission received 5 letters supporting the proposed amendment and 1
letter opposed. Two individuals testified at the hearing, requesting that the Planning
Commission consider restricting hours of operations at the 4 adult retail establishments.
On November 18, the Planning Commission's recommended amendment was presented to City
Council. The Council requested Staff to prepare information regarding hours of operation for
Adult Retail businesses, which are not currently restricted.
OPTIONS: The Council may adopt, modify or deny the proposed revision; send the issue back
to the Planning Commission for further work; or conduct a public hearing.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: A Resolution providing for an Interfund Loan from the Street Fund
to the General Fund.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: A loan from the Street Fund to the General Fund, to pay for
start up costs of our new city, should be formally adopted prior to year end.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: No formal action has been taken by the Council.
This item has been discussed several times during the year.
BACKGROUND: To provide for cash flow to the General Fund it is necessary for the General
Fund to borrow operating funds from the Street Fund. We have anticipated this loan during the
current year and have budgeted the first of five payments to repay the loan in the 2004 budget.
OPTIONS: The City could borrow these funds from a bank rather than another City fund.
However, the paperwork and time involved would be greater if the loan came from
outside sources.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff recommends Council pass the resolution
authorizing the loan.
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The General Fund needs to borrow cash during the current
year to pay the start up costs associated with a new city. The Street fund has the cash
available to loan to the General Fund.

Related Ownership and Occupancy Issues
In previous discussions between County and City Interim representatives, the balance of
ownership between the parties was most often associated with the current percentage of
the facility occupied by each party at the moment of discussion. The difficulty with _
allocating ownership percentage based on the square footage of current occupancy is that
those percentages change based on operational decisions. For instance, a three (3)
percent shift in space allocation occurred this summer based on County /City patrol
personnel operational decisions. The economic advantage to both parties to redeploy
personnel to the strategic advantage of both law enforcement agencies requires flexibility
in assignments and the allocation of ownership interest should not be recalibrated with
each operational decision. Rather than rewriting deeds based on changing police
operational decisions, emphasis should be placed on capturing the appropriate share of
facility operation and maintenance expenses based on actual square footage occupied in
say six -month intervals. Thus, county and city assigned personnel can be used most
strategically and overhead costs shared based on actual occupancy.
Other operational issues hang in the balance of a decision on shared ownership. First,
which party will be the principal insurer of the premises? Second, which party can best
deploy needed repair /maintenance personnel should the need arise. Third, which party
arranges for janitorial service? These issues are more easily dealt with if one party owns
the majority share of the building. Since the County is self- insured, has a maintenance
- crew that can be quickly deployed and has contracted for janitorial services, it appears
wise that the County retains 51% ownership and the City acquires 49% ownership.

Payment Options
The $94,639 payment could be amortized over five years.
In lieu of annual capital payments to the County, the City could
assume an additional share of the operation and maintenance
costs equal to the annual payment during the five -year amortization
period and thereby liquidate the $94,639 debt.

Re: Precinct building Ownership and Occupancy Options
After our meeting on Septernber 25 to discuss Precinct Building ownership and occupancy .
options, I presented your discussion draft to the Board of Commissioners. The County
respectively disagrees with your proposal.
The County purchased and remodeled the Precinct for unincorporated use, prior to the
incorporation of the Spokane Valley City. It was purchased and remodeled using $2,400,000
of unincorporated sales tax dollars. At that time the City of Spokane Valley was
unincorporated and participated in this purchase. The County is proposing to give the City of
Spokane Valley a "credit" for their participation in this purchase. •
The County's proposal has not changed since Mark Sterk presented it in November of 2003,
except for population and occupancy numbers, which have been updated. The County is •
willing to !'sell" the City of Spokane Valley their share of the Precinct based on .current
occupancy with a credit for their participation as unincorporated citizens. The payment due to
the County is $368,954.
The County is willing to operate and maintain the Precinct. The County will bill the City
monthly for their proportionate share of operation, maintenance and capital improvements,
based on percentage of occupancy.

City of Spokane Valley
Dear Mayor DeVleining: •
For sometime now our respective staffs have been•discussing potential ownership and occupancy
options with - regard: to .the•Precinct•Building,(" buil. ding "). The.Boardiof County Commissioners•
("Board") feels it might be helpful in bringing these discussions to completion to set forth those
options which are acceptable to the County.
As has been discussed in the past, the purchase/remodel of the Precinct Building by Spokane
County cost $2,400,000.00. This occurred prior to the incorporation of the City of Spokane
Valley ( "City ").
Some time in early November 2002, Sheriff Sterk presented certain options to the City for its*
ownership or occupancy (lease) of the building. Except for population numbers and occupancy
percentages, the County is still agreeable to the options presented by Sheriff Sterk.
Under Option No. 1, the County would sell to the City its present 56% occupancy of the building.
The purchase price would be S368,954.00. This amount could be paid over a mutually agreeab]e
reasonable time frame in equal annual installments. No interest would be charged on the
remaining purchase balance under this option. However, interest and an appropriate penalty
would be charged on any late annual installment. Interest would be calculated based upon lost
interest earnings had the installment payment been timely paid and invested in the Spokane County
Treasurer's Investment Pool.
..
Under - Option No. 2, Spokane County would lease to the City.its 56% occupancy of the building
on a"yearly basis. The lease amount would initially be set for the first calendar year at $9.00 per
square foot which represents the amount being charged for comparable Class B space. The $9.00
Mayor Mike DeVleming
November 18, 2003
Page 2
per square foot figure would increase annually based upon an agreeable and applicable Consumer
Price Index.
The City would not actually pay the County rent under this option. Instead the City would
receive credit against its proportionate share of the purchase/remodel costs for the building. The
City's share of the purchase/remodel costs of the building is $975,046.00. Under this option, the
City could at any time switch from its lease to a purchase of the building. In this instance, the
cost for purchasing the City's 56% occupancy of the building increase from the initial
purchase cost of $368,954.00. The increase in the purchase price would equal all annual lease
payments to the date of purchase. The purchase price could be paid over a mutually agreeable
reasonable time .frame in equal annual installments. No interest would be charged on the
remaining purchase balance under this option. However, interest and an appropriate penalty
would be charged on any late annual installment. Interest would be calculated based upon lost
interest earnings had the installment payment been timely paid and invested in the Spokane County
Treasurer's Investment Pool.
The options outlined in this correspondence do not address Maintenance and Operation
( "M &O ") expenses for the building. The County anticipates that actual M &O expenses will be
billed monthly to occupants /users of the building on a square foot occupancy basis.
As soon as the City selects one of the above options, the Board will direct that its legal counsel
prepare appropriate documents.
To better assist you in understanding the above options, the Board has enclosed a chart which
explains how the various figures referenced in this correspondence were calculated. The Board is
more than happy to make County staff available to either you or any other council member to
further explain or clarify the chart. Additionally the Board is willing to include this item in the
next joint County /City agenda if that might expedite its resolution.
Thank you in advance for your timely review and selection of an option as outlined in this
correspondence.
Very truly yours,

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35/9
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Several previous memos to Council regarding
procedural requirements for processing street vacation requests.
BACKGROUND: Staff has brought forward several issues on street vacations, including
whether the City needed to adopt an ordinance setting forth the procedural requirements of
vacating a street, or whether reliance on the RCW was sufficient. It became clear to staff that it
would be more advantageous to have a City ordinance.
OPTIONS: (1) Choose an option under which the City will charge, if at all, for street vacations.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff recommendation is for the Council to choose a
payment option, then move this draft ordinance to a first reading.
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Requiring payment for the value of the land would increase
city revenues. However, RCW 35.79.030 requires that one -half of the revenue received by the
city as compensation for the area vacated must be dedicated to the acquisition, improvement,
development and related maintenance of public open space or transportation capital projects in
the city.

survey is conducted.
SECTION 6 — Setting of Hearing. Upon receipt of the petition, the fee and all required documents, the
City Clerk shall forward the petition and required documents to the Director, who shall determine whether
the petition has been signed by the owners of more than two - thirds of the property abutting the part of the
street or alley to be vacated. If the petition has been signed by the requisite percentage of such owners,
the Director shall bring the petition before the City Council within 30 days of receipt of the petition, and
the City Council shall by resolution fix the time when the petition will be heard by the City Council, or a
committee of the City Council, which time shall not be more than 60 days nor less than 20 days after the
adoption of the resolution. Where the City Council initiates the vacation by resolution, that resolution
shall fix the time when the proposed vacation will be heard by the City Council or a committee of the City
Council.
SECTION 7 — Staff Report. The Director, in conjunction with the Public Works Department shall
prepare a report concerning the proposed vacation. The report shall address the criteria (see Section 11)
to be considered by the City Council in determining whether to vacate the street or alley, and such other
information as deemed appropriate by the Director. In preparing the report, the Director shall solicit
comments from the Police Department, and may solicit comments from other governrriental agencies and
utility companies having jurisdiction or utilities within the boundaries of the City. The report shall be
submitted to the City Council, or the City Council committee hearing the matter and to the representative
of the petitioners, not less than five days before the hearing.
SECTION 8 — Notice of Hearing. Upon the passage of the resolution fixing the time for hearing the
petition or proposal for vacation, the City Clerk, or the Director, acting under direction and supervision of
.the City Clerk, shall give not less than 20 days' notice of the time, place and purpose of the hearing by (1)
publishing written notice once in the City's official newspaper, (2) posting a placard in a conspicuous
place at each cnd of the street or alley sought to be vacated, and (3) mailing written notice to all

before the City Council, or a committee of the City Council, upon the day fixed by resolution or at the
time to which a hearing may be adjourned. Following the hearing, the committee shall report its
recommendation on the petition or proposal to the City Council, which may adopt or reject the

CD A. Whether a change of use or vacation of the street or alley will better serve the public;
B. Whether the street or alley is no longer required for public use or public access;
C. Whether the substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to the public;
Proposed administrative street vacation ordinance draft — C. Driskell

Draft 2
D. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater use or need than
presently exists; and
E. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of private property
(exclusive of petitioners) abutting the street or alley or other governmental agencies or members of the
general public.
If the City Council determines to grant the vacation, the action shall be made by ordinance with such
conditions or limitations as the City Council deems necessary and proper to preserve any desired public
use or benefit. The ordinance may contain a provision retaining or requiring conveyance of easements for
construction, repair and maintenance of existing and future utilities and services.
SECTION 12 — Vacation of Waterfront Streets.
A. The city shall not vacate a street or alley if any portion of the street or alley abuts a body of
water unless:
1. The vacation is sought to enable the City to acquire the property for beach or water access
purposes, or launching sites, park, public view, recreation, educational purposes, or other public
uses;
2. The City Council, by resolution, declares that the street or alley is not presently being used as
a street or alley and that the street or alley is not suitable for any of the following purposes: beach
or water access, launching sites, park, public view, recreation, or education; or
3. The vacation is sought to enable the City to implement a plan, adopted by resolution or
ordinance, that provides comparable or improved public access to the same shoreline area to
which the street or alley sought to be vacated abuts, had the properties included in the plan not
been vacated.
B. Before adopting an ordinance vacating a street or alley under subsection (A)(2) of this section,
the City Council shall:
I. Cause an inventory to be compiled of all rights -of -way within the city that abut the same body
of water that is abutted by the street or alley sought to be vacated;
2. Cause a study to be conducted to determine if the street or alley to be vacated is unsuitable for
use by the city for any of the following purposes: launching sites, beach or water access, park,
public view recreation, or education;
3. Hold a public hearing on the proposed vacation in the manner required by Chapter 35.79 RCW
and this chapter; and

Draft 2
4. include in its written decision a finding that the street or alley sought to be vacated is not
suitable for any other purposes listed under subsection (B)(2) of this section, and that the vacation
is in the public's interest.
C. Notice of the public hearing on the proposed vacation shall be provided in accordance with the
notice provisions of Section 8 of this Ordinance, provided, that the City shall also post notice of the
public hearing conspicuously on the street or alley sought to be vacated, which notice shall indicate that
the area is a public access, that the street or alley is proposed to be vacated, and that anyone objecting to
the proposed vacation should attend the public hearing or send a letter to the Director indicating the
objection.
SECTION 13 - Compensation for vacation. Where a vacation for a street or alley has been initiated by
petition, the owners of the property abutting the area to be vacated shall pay to the city, prior to the
passage of the ordinance vacating the area, the full cost of any physical closures and /or road repairs
required by the Director and
OPTION ONE — THE COUNCIL COULD CHOOSE TO NOT REQUIRE ANY PAYMENT ON ANY
VACATIONN FOR THE VALUE OF THE PROPERTY OVER AND ABOVE THE COST OF
PLACING PHYSICAL CLOSURES AND ROAD REPARIS.
OPTION TWO — THE COUNCIL COULD CHARGE THE STATUTORY AMOUNTS, WHICH ARE
(1) ONE -HALF OF THE FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE AREA TO BE VACATED; OR (2) IF
THE AREA WAS ACQUIRED AT PUBLIC EXPENSE OR HAS BEEN PART OF A DEDICATED
PUBLIC RIGHT -OF -WAY FOR 25 YEARS OR MORE, THE FULL FAIR MARKET VALUE OF
THE AREA TO BE VACATED.
OPTION THREE — THE COUNCIL COULD CHARGE THE FULL FAIR MARKET VALUE IF
THE AREA WAS ACQUIRED AT PUBLIC EXPENSE, BUT CHARGE EITHER NOTHING OR
SOME PERCENTAGE BETWEEN 0 - 50% OF THE VALUE IF DEDICATED LESS THAN 25
YEARS, AND BETWEEN 0 — 100% IF DEDICATED MORE THAN 25 YEARS.
(Ed. Note - The previous discussion by staff with the Council was about the possibility of setting a
dollar threshold, under which a person would not be charged for the property, and over which they
would. I am concerned this creates equal protection issues that may not be favorably resolved for
us, and MRSC agrees. As such, the Council should choose from one of the three above options.)
SECTION 14 - Alternative compensation. Conveyance of other real property acceptable to the City
may be made in partial satisfaction of or in lieu of the required compensation for the vacation of a street
or alley, whether the conveyance is required to mitigate adverse impacts of the vacation or otherwise.
SECTION 15 — Appraisals.
A. The Director shall determine the fair market value of the area to be vacated based upon an
appraisal from a state- certified real estate appraiser who has an MAI or SRA designation from the
Appraisal Institute. To obtain such appraisal, the Director shall present to the petitioners a list of three
such certified and designated appraisers from which the petitioners shall select one appraiser. The
petitioner shall pay all costs associated with the appraisal.

13. If the Director is not satisfied with the appraisal submitted by the petitioners under subsection
A of this section, the Director may order a second appraisal from a state - certified real estate appraiser
who has an MAI or SRA designation from the Appraisal Institute. The City shall pay for this second
appraisal. The Director shall use the appraisal having the highest value for the area vacated.
C. In the event the petitioner proposes to exchange other real property for full or partial
consideration of payment to the City, the Director shall determine the fair market value of the real
property proposed to be granted or dedicated to the city under Section 14 of this Ordinance, in accordance
with the appraisal procedures set forth in this Section.
SECTION 16 - Payment of compensation for conveyance.
A. After the fair market value of the property to be vacated has been determined in accordance
with Section 15 of this Ordinance, the Director shall notify the representative of the petitioners of the
amount of compensation required for the area to be vacated. The required payment shall be delivered to
the Director who, upon receipt of the payment, shall transmit it to the City Director of Finance.
13. At least one -half of the received compensation shall be dedicated to the acquisition,
improvement, development and related maintenance of public open space and/or transportation capital
projects within the City; provided, that all compensation for the vacation of streets and alleys which abut
a body of water shall be deposited in a fund designated for the sole purpose of acquiring additional beach
or water access, additional public view sites to a body of water, or additional launching sites. Any
compensation received by the city which is not dedicated to public open space or transportation capital
projects or to the acquisition of additional water access, view sites or launching sites, shall be deposited
into the street fund. The City Finance Director shall make a written report of the payment to the City
Council.
C. if the petitioners have been authorized to deliver an instrument granting or dedicating to
the City property in addition to or in lieu of a cash payment pursuant to Section 14 of this Ordinance, the
Director may, at the petitioner's expense, obtain a policy of title insurance insuring title of the conveyed
property in the city. Upon the Director' receipt of such policy, the Director shall transmit the policy to the
city council.
SECTION 17 - Recording of ordinance. 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.
SECTION 18 — Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this ordinance, or any
regulation, rule or order adopted pursuant to the authority thereof be determined invalid or
unconstitutional, it shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause or
phrase of this ordinance.
SECTION 19 — Effective date. This ordinance shall be in full force and effect five (5) days after
publication of this ordinance or a summary thereof in the official newspaper of the City as provided by
law.
