seconded by Courtcrln:enrber Flnnigaia to advance ordiiiance 05-014 1o cr seconcl reatling. Deputy City
Atiorney T)riskell explained that Council discussed some on-ooing problcros of some neighborlloods
where there appears to be pcrpetual or frequent yard sales; and that those activities are disrttptive and
represent the performance qf commercial activity in residential neighborhoods. Mr. Driskell stitted that
thc ehangc frotn the original draft is in the def nition of "yard salc" io includc garagc sale, rurr►mate sale,
blanket sale, moving siile, block sale and estate sale. vlayor Wilhite invited public comment.
Kathy TaUbert. 18505 E 4te: su3gcstcd cllanging the number of p.ei-mitted sales to fqur in a calendar }'car,
or one every hvn months; and stated that there could be special cases and wondered how those would bc
handled.
Alice Beth,. E 17324 Mont gamerv: she suggestcd requiritig those places to obtain a business license
rather than lo rceulatc the arnount of sales; for example: allow nne per mondi and then requir•e a business license.
'1"oov Lazanis: s1:ited lie feels Couneil has o2her things to do than this; questioned if we even Mave
reeeived aiiy cor»plaints.
N1ary 1'ollard: saicf ehis type of business ctocs not represent a lot of money for people; and while garage
sales can be high entertainiiient, she feels this ordinance is over-regulating.
Shirley Rdclemacher, 19303 E R.ivenwalk L,ane: said this appears to target a particular person in a
neighborhood who is running a business in a resitlential area, and that giving a business license in A
resitfential arca is not the answer; she suggests perhaps only allowing one sale per month.
Council discussion inclucled ehe piarpe;e of yard sales, penallies and fines associated «<ith the proposed
ordinance, responding to complaints rather than overtly seeking offenders, and the maximwn number of
times a sale would be permitted annually. IC was determinccl that Depuey City Attnrney 17riskell will
research to see what other cities' annual limits are; and thaf COunCil «<ill further discuss the maYimum
times for a sale, at the next cauncil meeting. Vvte by acclanialion ori llre motian to arh)arrce rhe orditrairce

firontage on a street; but if somecne had a 600' frontage (University City had 750') you caulcf hcsve a free
SCan(linL Sign for eaeh 200' of froncage with no spaeing requirement. berween them; and an example of
that is where 24-Mow- Fitness was in the Valley, and they just put up the new Valley SporLs - that is all
one parcEl but is over 300' long, and there is another sign righc past that for the other people in ttlai.
pracess and that occurred because t:here was no spacing requiremciit; and the Planning Commission and
Sign Conu»ictee discusse.d this c.hange of spacing requirement from 500 to 300; and that the spacing
requirement was instituted because he put a sigii at University City that Commissioner Roskelley did not
like and he said that nn cne else will put a sign within 500' of that; and that M.r. Johnston wcis witness to
Mr. Roskelly stating thtit; and that is how the 500' spacinL requirement became law.

Meeting Date: March 22, 2005 City Manager Sign-off:
. Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent (X~ old business ❑ new business I public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report (D pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Readinq- An ordinance amending the provisions of the Right-
of-Way Vacation.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council adoption of Ordinance No. 04-002
(Street Vacations) in January 2004. The ordinance was codified in Title 10 Article III §10.05.220
ef seq. of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code. Council was briefed on the proposal on
February 15, 2005, and advanced the ordinance to a second reading on Marcn 8, 2005.
BACKGROUND: The City has processed four street vacation requests since Ordinance 04-002
was adopted. As a result of questions which arose during these actions, several amendments
should be considered:
1. City signatures on survey documents are unnecessary on documents prepared by a
licensed Washington Surveyor;
2. Survey af properties outside the area of the actual vacation add additional cost to the
~ sunrey without commensurate benefit to the petitioner;
~ 3. Monuments provide control points for property owners, as well as establishing
monuments in areas where monuments have been destroyed as a result of past street
construc#ion activities;
4. Providing the governing body v+rith necessary findings by the hearing body who receive
public testimony establishes the basis for legislative findings;
5. Requiring documentation of the transfer of title by means of a quit claim deed formalizes
the transfer to abutting owners; and
6. The repeal of the existing code references and the establishment of a new section
renumbered as part of the Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code. (Title 10 of the
Spokane Municipal Code)
There have been no changes to the proposed ordinance.
OPTIONS: Approve, disapprove or provide staff with direction. RECOMMENDED MOTION: move to adopt Ordinance No. 05-012"

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading Proposed Nuisance Code Amendment (yard sales)
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 7.05
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Study session discussion by Council in January, 2005.
First reading on March 8, 2005.
BACKGROUND: In January, 2005, the Council discussed on-going probtems in some
neighborhoods where some citizens have what appears to be perpetual or frequent yard sales.
These activities can be disruptive in neighborhoods, and really represents the performance of
commercial activity in residential neighborhoods.
i~A second problem exists warranting this type of amendment. Code enforcemenf officers can
receive a complaint about what appears to be garbage in somebody's yard, but when contact is
made with the resident, the person may assert that they are having a yard sale, or have put
fhings out to have a yard sale in the near future. Staff believes this proposed amendment will
preclude that type of argument having anything but very short term value.
A violation would result in a monetary penalty, and continued violation could subject the
property owner/resident to court action, including injunctive relief.
OPTIONS: Approve the ordinance as presented; Instruct staff to amend the proposed
ordinance; or take other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move that we adopt ordinance 05-014.
BUDGETIFINANCIAL IMPACTS: There may be minor staff time to respond to complaints. It is
anticipated to be generally revenue neutral.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading: Proposed Renumbering Ordinance - Title 10
Spokane Valley Municipal Code.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: WAC 365-195-800; RCUU 36.70A.040
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council was briefed on the proposed Code
renumbering of provisions ofi the Spokane Valley Municipal Code on March 1, 2005. The
proposed renumbering was advanced to a second reading on March 8, 2005.
BACKGROUND: The Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code (SVUDC) will eventually
consolidate and integrate all regulations in a single document, including subdivision, zoning and
development standards. Providing well-organized, concise, clear and readable regulations is
important in ensuring uniform and consistent interpretation and enforcement of City policies
affecting land development and the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
In December 2004, staff had proposed the adoption of an outline to guide the developmen# of
the SVUDC. Following discussion with Code Publishing Company, it was determined that
adoption of a Code framework was unnecessary, but that passage of an ordinance re-
numbering those ordinances which had already been codified would be required. Various
~corrections in titles are also included, as well as provision for consolidating the provisions
relating to the adoption of other laws, reference to hearing bodies, copies on file and liability in a
single section applicable to all provisions in the SVUDC.
The following table identifies the proposed renumbering. A number of ordinances currently
under consideration will numbered appropriately when presented to City Council. Others which
have yet to be codified will be identified for the Code company.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: First Reading: Proposed Pawn Broker Ordinance
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 19.60
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Study session presentation by Police Chief Cal Walker
BACKGROUND: When the City incorporated, it did not adopt a pawn broker ordinance similar
to the one Spokane County has used for over 30 years. Chief Walker brought this to the
attention of the Council. Staff was instructed to draft a proposed ordinance providing
appropriate regulatory control over this industry.
The attached proposed ordinance used the Spokane County ordinance, has been updated, has
been compared against changes to the provisions in RCW 19.60 since the County adopted it,
and has been modified to enable the Police Department to monitor this industry more efficiently.
The primary changes from the County ordinance are that a person seeking to pawn personal
property must show government-issued picture identification, as now required in RCW
19.60.020. Copies of each person's picture identification will be made as part of each pawn or
loan process, which must then be turned over to the police by the next business day.
Additionally, this ordinance would also require that all records required by the ordinance be kept
and transmitted in computer format so 4he police can quickly do computer cross-reference
checks on the serial numbers to check if any pawned items were recently reported stolen.
Lastly, staff recommends removing the yearly fee. There does not appear to be any reason to
charge up to $100 per year, as has been done by the County. This helps to offset any cost a
business may have in keeping the records in computer format.
OPTIONS: Ask for additional information; request changes to the proposed ordinance, move to
second reading as is or with changes.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move that we forward ordinance 05-017 to a second
reading.

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: March 22, 2005 City Manager Sign-vff:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business X new business public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE : Amendment to existing city hall lease for additional space.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: The city has an existing lease for office space that runs through
February 28, 2007.
BACKGROUND: The city needs additional office space at our existing site. The city also
needs storage space Tor records and additional parking for city vehicles. Our existing lease
calls for an annual ratelsquare foot of $16 beginning March 1, 2005. The existing lease also
increases our annual rate to $17.50 on March 1, 2006.
At city council direction, staff has negotiated with our building manager for additional space. We
understand the building owner has agreed to our latest proposal which will provide an additional
1,015 square feet of office space, approximately 2,200 of additional storage space and
additional parking for city vehicles. The proposed lease rate would be less than the rate
contained within the existing lease and would result in a savings of $2,836 over the next two
years. The building owner wants a three year extension on our lease in return for the additional
space and the reduced rate per square foot.
Proposed amendments to the lease include a rental rate for officre space of $14.75/square foot
in the first year, escalating to $16.75/square foot in the fifth year. Storage space would be
leased at $4/square foot plus a share of common area costs for the facility.
This issue was first discussed at the February 12 retreat, with additional discussion taking place
at council meetings on February 15 and March 8.
Staff is also negotiating with another tenant for additional office space.
RECOMMENDATION: A motion to authorize the City Manager to sign the amended lease is
recommended.
BUDGETIFINANCIAL IMPACTS: A savings of $2,836 over the next two years is expected
even though our usable space will increase. The proposed amended lease rate of
$16.75/square foot in 2009, is less than the rate of $17.50/square foot in 2006 in the existing
lease.

February retreat.
' Cocincil-Identifiect Priorities
The Council icientiiied several immediale prioriiies far a Public Information Officer's
workplan. It is important to note that the list below is not exhaustive.
• Convey the corparaii; mcssage. This includecl providing expe,rt advice to Council

Comparables for the Prrhlic Informatiarr Offirer Pasitialr
'I hc Association of VVaslunb on Cities (A~,Ti/C) compiles an employment survey. lt is
very hclpfiil in providine general coniparisons. I-iowever, the AWC survey is not an in-
dcpth analysis of all city positions. rrom city to city, the job clescription (and even the
tiile) will var_y; as will that position's placcment in the overall organization. I`hese are
unportant factors in determining appropriate compensation.
Unfortunately, there is no comparable position included in the AWC survey for the
Public Information OfficEr. Instcad, staff sought coulparables from six VJashington cities
as well as a couple of area businesses who participated in the STA Blue Ribbon
Compensation CommittcE. 'I he avcrage 2005 rangc was $53;652 -$71;040. Howcver,
there are a variety of different approaches an organizaiion may takc to meet i1s general
public iiiformation needs, and these difFerent approaches caused the salary ranges to
differ bv as much as 150%.
Staff continues to researcli thi5 topic, and will pre.sent a recommended Grade at the
March 22 mceting.

Re: Community Values - Results of February 1; 2005 Joint Meeting
At the Fehruary 1;2005 joiilt meetina, we divided the drafi Vision statement vnto r.hree
sections. You brainstprmed the valuti: componenis for each section, thpn "vroted' on what
you consiciered to be the lughest pY•iorities for --aeh Seetian.
The attac.hed doct2ment shows the results of that "voting." The first pa3e. sho\.\,s in
priority order the valuE compoiients. While 1 dividecl thE, list ai five or more for display
piu-poses; I don'f inean to imply thai we need to cut off at that po'vlc.
I tried to combine similar priorities into sinLle groupinas. One exarnplc is
veiL,hborhoods. During tlie. hrainstorminE part of the meeting, there w2ie dPfEE.I'f:11F
stale.nients pei-taiiling to preservation of neighborhoods; so 1 combined them for the
pwposz of tallying the votes. However, beRimiuia on paue twro Pve included the
groupings; as well as those value cornponeizTS thai did not receiv~ ~ny votes.
The next st-lps in ehis process include:
1. idcntif~, whicll components m-e bettEr classifiEd as projeets or irtipleiiientation
strategies (e.g.; 17evelop a Ci#}j Cent.er)
2. identifj, which components help clai-ify <<alues, and wllich may be subscts, or a
more deiailed description of otliers
3. draft the Values
'1'here are a variety of approaclies you can take to cont:inuing this nrojee.t. A few
suggestions include:
1. COilflllUE the ;roup appi•oach, i.e,, have a folJow-up joint meeting that would be
set up as a worlcing session for the full gr4up.
2. Rreak inrn t.hree suh-Qrouns anci have mini work se.ssions. re.sulcing in ihree dra-fts
Fl1at ivould be considered by the full graup. This is sitliila.r to the a.ppraacll yau
took when drafting the Vision statement.
3. Fonn a sub-committee to draft the values and have the sub-committee re_port its
results for considea-acioii of ihe full group.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: YMCA Proposal for operation of Valley Mission, Terrace View and
Park Road Paols for the 2005 season.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Discussion 11/9/04 Regular Meeting, Discussion
11/16/04 Study Session, Discussion/update 1/18/05 Study Session, RFQ received from YMCA,
RFP would be released. Council also contacted Spokane County to determine if they would like
to reconsider their position on not operating the pools. BACKGROUND: Staff prepared and advertised a Request for Qualifications for
Operation, Maintenance and Programming of Aquatic Facilities on December 14-
15, 2004 in both the Spokesman Review and the Valley Herald. The advertisement
was also published in the Seattle Daily Journal. In response to our
advertisement, one Statement of Qualifications was received from the Spokane
Valley YMCA. At that time, Spokane County was approached and they reaffirmed
that they were not interested in operating the pools.
A Request for Proposal was issued to the YMCA with a due date of March 4, 2005,
which was extended by addendum to March 11 and was received by the deadline
on that date. In addition to receiving tfie proposal, Mike Jackson, Director of
Parks and Recreation has met with Steve Jurich, Executive Director of the
Spokane Valley YMCA on several occasions, and toured tfie operation of the
Valley YMCA with Rick Fechner, Facilities Director.
Below are key points of the YMCA Proposal
• The YMCA proposes to operate the pools to the City of Spokane Valley's
expectations. This includes customer service expectations.
• All revenues will be deposited with the City.
• The YMCA will provide a full range of aquatic programming. Swimming
lessons will be offered under the Red Cross Curriculum.
• The YMCA proposes to charge the City for actual costs incurred. The City
will retain the right to audit actual invoices or records on demand.
• In return for their services and all administrative and overhead costs, the
YMCA proposes a flat fee of $25,000.
• With the exception of the flat fee, all costs are estimated and should be
viewed as budget numbers, not as a fixed bid.
Note: This issue is time sensitive. Staff recruit:rnent (and other preparations) is
pending award of contract.
OPTIONS: Authorize City Manager to negotiate a contract with the YMCA or provide
staff with other direction.
;
~
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Motion to authorize the City Manager or his
designee to negotiate a Pool Operation and Maintenance Contract with the YMCA.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None. The General Fund budgeted amount for aquatics is
$255,818. However excess funds are available in the park contract line item. The amount
proposed by the YMCA is $266, 971. A 10% difierential would not be unrealistic. The
"unofficialT 2005 estimate from Spokane County is $275, 214. The amount estimated by staff for
in-house operation by the City of Spokane Valley is $260, 935 (this amount includes Parks and
Recreation full time staff allocation but does not include City general overhead costs).

Spokane Valley as a quasi-community center ever since lhe doors opened. Hundreds of
the Y's youth and families as well as non-members who pay to swim for the clay, take
advantage of our peal: swim times. During the, nearly, fivc ycars of operation we have
proven outstanding experience in al.l the areas of service the City is sccking; operation,
maintenance, promotion and programming including general admissions, lessons
programs, swim team, facility rentals and special evcnts.

. H. Statement of Liability ' . , •
The YMCA has the ability to meet all bonding and liability requirements on ihis RFP.
Challenges, Problems, Risks and Concerns
. The YMCA recommends that the City of Spokane Valley consider retaining insurance for
• boiler replacement if the need arises. Most of the Pool equipment is aged and the YMCA
is proposing a strong preventative maintenance program that should improve the quality '
of the existing equipment. However, this proposal does not include resouress to replace
' a ma1or piece of e4uipment, like maJor piPin9 . ater sYstems, circulation PumPs and w
boilers. Spokane Counry kept some of the equipment used last summer and left bits and
pieces of others. The YMCA has done its best to determine °start up° equipment .
purchases needed for all three pools. The YMCA has also had to project maintenance
and repair costs on equipment that may, or may,not, be needed. Additionally, this
proposal has attempted to present a cost estimate for staffing that is impacted, positively
or negatively, by enrollments and attendance.* For these reasons, the YMCA is
proposing that the budget being presented to the City is an estimate of expenses and
that the City will pay for actual expenses. The YMCA can keep the City informed . throughout the summer as to how actual expenses compare to the submitted budget
plan.
J. Essential Work • .
Expenses related to essential, work not included in the Scope of Work, will be the
responsibility of the City of Spokane Valley. The YIVICA will notify the City Parks and
Recreation Director whenever conditions that impact expenses not covered in the
proposed budget plan arise. .

~ INTRODUCTIO
N
As requested by the City of Spokane Valley, The ORB Organization working as a ~ Sub-Consultant to MIG performed an on-site investigation and pertormed the
following anafysis of the three Spokane Valley Outdoor Swimming Pools, Valley
~ Mission, Park Ftoad, and Terrace View. In addition'we made a visual inspection
of the privately owned Splash Down Water Slide Park, which operates on land
owned by the City of Spokane Valley. . p Robert Bignold AIA P.E. performed the field investigation on August 18th and 19t'
2004. Mr. Bignold also met with Mr. Mike Jackson city of Spokane Valley Park
~ and Recreation Director and Mr. Dave Hedt, of the 5pokane County Maintenance
Staff to discuss past operationaf problems and to clarify the maintenance history
of the pools. (Since their incorporation as a city, thE City of Spokane Valley has ~ contracted with Spokane County for the operation and maintenancE of ttiese
three pools.)
Mr. Bignold, performed additional evaluation and analysis in the ORB office,
~r utilizing the information that was obtained during the on-site investigation, , -
We have recorded the field inspection observations for each of,tlnbioWtdoor poals
~ on a standardized ORB form crEated from the current State Health Department
Requirements (WAC.246-260) along with the Uniform Building Code and the
~ Arnericans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Each form is provided with expanded
Rernarks Sheets thai are cross-referenced to the form by a remark number
located in the right hand column of the form.
I' In addition to the descriptive text, we have also provided for each Pool, a laYout
sketch of the pool deck areas along witfi a cross section thru the diving well that
( graphically compares the existing pool bottom profile with thE minimum profile '
required by the code bottom profile.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The construction drawings for the Park Road and Terrace View pools are dated
April 8, 1968. ORB was not given the design drawings for the Valley Mission pool .
but since it appears to be a duplicate of the other two pbofs we have assumed .
that it was constructed at the sarne time as the other two pools.
The City of Spokane Valley presentiy owns the three pools, Valley Mission, Park
Road, and Terrace View. They were originally constructed, owned, operated, and J
. ~ . • . . . • -
~ maintained by Spokane County until the time that the City af Spokane Valley was
mcorporated m 2002. Since the time of incorporation thE City of Spokane Valley
~ has contracted with Spokane County to operate and maintain the three pools.
~ ORB bEheves that it desErves saying that these three existing pools, which are
• some thirty-six years old, are among the best maintained of any, of that age
~ group, that we have surveyed in the last twenty-five or thirty years. .
-POOL TANK SWIMMER CAPACITY
~ The pool tank is configured as an American Short Coarse Pool 75'-7 " tong by
44'-0" 1Nide. The code calculated maximum bather load is 184 bathers.
'Hotvever all three pools have been posted with a 130 maximum swimrner
~ capacity. ORB inquired of the cQUnty staff as to why tho pool capacities had
been redlined at a maximum of 130 swimmers. The staff responded that a
drowning had occurred in the pools at some time in ihe past and as a result Spokane County had decreased the posted capacity below the code allowable .
maximums to increase their safety. VI/ithout knotrring the reasons that the pool
capacity was redlined at 130 bathers ORB cannot comrnent on the current bather
~ limit, ORB noted that most of the swimrners present at the time we made the on=
. site visit were in thE water. One method of increasing the capacity of the pools -
without impacting the guarding rEquirEments would be to expand the fEnced-in
~ areas, allowing some lawn area inside the pool enclosure, increasing the deck
, area, and install tables with deck umbrellas and chairs on the deck and lawn. ,
The UmbreUas would provide needed shade for family spectatars and increase
the visitor appea) of the pools. (See photo of the StEward 'Heights zero depth
pool designed by ORB for,the Tacoma Metro Parlcs dEpart ' .
ment.) The Stewart
Heights pool has a capacity of 500 swimmers. If the city felt that they wanted to . 8• 'rraaintain the 130 maximurri*trathe'0bad-the guards could simply allow more
9 people onto the poa) decks and lawn area but limit the number of swimrners that
they allow into the poo(s at any one time.
~ MODIFICATION TO POOL TANK During the interim years since the pools were constructed the gutter systerns
~ have been modified from the original cantilevered deck type to a rollout type with
a removable grating. The original design also provided fittered uvater to the pool
tank through a four-inch by six- inch filtered water conduit (4" x 6" trench) poured
~ into the bottom of the pool tank. The trench had a poured-in-place concrete cover
' with the filtered water being injectEd into the pool through a number of 3/8"
P.V.C. tubes that were installed in the trench cover to disiribute the filtered water.
These filtered water trenches have been mod'rfied over the years by installing a
four-inch (4°) schedule 80 P.V.C. filtered water conduit into the trench. The four- inch conduit was then fitted with twelve conventional Hayward sp-1425 series
inlets with Cyclolac body and 2" male threaded base. These inlets are located in
two rows at 12'-6u centers along the bottom of the pool. All three pools have had
the original french filtered water conduit replaced with the new P.V.C. conduit ~
and Hayward inlets. The vacuum diatomaceous earth filters in the Park Raad
~ ~
~ pool havc been replaced by pressure sand filters, located in the basement of the
Par9c Road mechanical rnom.
~ POOL WATER PIPING . .
The mechanical rooms of ihe three pools which are nearly identical, feature a
first floor stare room where the pools electrical panels are located and where the ~ open pit vacuum diatomaceous filters are accessed. They also include a
basement area where the main pool boiler, the showrer water heater and
~ circulation pumps are lor,ated, The pools filtered water canduits are supplied by
P.V.C. piping through a tunnel which connects the mechanical room basement
wrth the deep end nf the pool. All three pools have had the original steel pool
~ water Girculation piping replaced with new P.V.C. piping: As we understand it a
short section of the original steel piping was left in place where the filtered water
supply pipe passes ihrough the deep end pool wall. . ~ POOL TANK WATER VOLUME ' The pool tanks are poured in place concrete with integral F'VC water stops at the
~ expansian joints. As described earlier the filter water is distributed to the pool
tank through twelve (12) filter water paol inlEts located at approximately 12'-6°
centers on the bottom of the pool. U1/ater is returned to the filters by the bottom
~ drains and a combination su'rge/retum guttEr. The calculated capacity of each
pool is 126,076 gallons of water. The code mandated six-hour tumover fQr each
' pool be calculated at 350 gpm.
.
~ . . ' POOL WATER HEATERS
. ,
, The originai pool vuater heater and shower water heater have been replaced in-all
~ three pools. Each-pool currently has a gas fired Larrs~'pool +nrater heater with _ 1,010,000 BTU/hr input and 818,100 BTU/hr o u tpu t. T hey also have a 75 gallon
gas shower water heater with a 75,500 BTU/hr input and a 68.8 gaflon hourly
~ throughput. These all seem to be in-good condition. It appeared that the boiler in
the Park Road Pool was leaking water but we could not tefl if the leak was in the
boiler or in the piping connection to the boiler.
~ CHLORINATION AND PH CON
TROL SYSTEIUi
The originaf gas chlorine pool water disinfectant system has been replaced with
~ an Acco-Tab Model 3000 Series Calcium Hypo chiorite tablet type chlorinator
system .Located in the mecfianical room. Disinfectant levels are controlled by a
Strantrol System-3 Controller. PH levels are controlled by a C02 system. On
~ both Park Road and Terrace 'View pools the original gas chlorination room walls
have been removed and the dry tablet t~pe chlorination system and the C02
~ system: installed in the area of the former gas chlorination system. At the VaUey
Mission pool the original gas chlorination walls have been left in place and the
C02 sy.stem installed in the ofd gas chlorination room. The dry tablet type ~ chlorination system at the Mission Valley pool is installed in the mechanical room
adjacent to the Vacuum diatomaceous earth fifter tank.
• ~J
I
~ FILTRATION' SYSTEMS
Both Valley Mission and Terrace View pools have the original vacuum
~ diatomacenus earth filters. The fiiter pits in all three pools serve as the balancing
~ tank for the pools. The diatomaceous earth is hand fed into the filter*vaults. Both . pools have tweive (12) 30" X 36" filter leaves. Paol aperators indicate that these
fitters require frequEnt (sometimes daily) backwashing. This would tend to
~ indicate that ihE filters are undersized for the'volume of water required for the
~ code operaiion of the pools.
~ THE•CODE CAPACI7Y FOR THESE FILTERS IS'CALCULAT
FOLLOWS: ED AS
~ Filter Area - 12 filters with an area of 2.6' X 3.0' X2 - 187.2 sq.-ft.
Code Capacity for hand fed diatomaceous earth filters is 1.35 gpm per square ~ foot.
187.2 sq. ft. @ 1.35gpm =252.72 gpm
~ Maximum Code Capacity Allowed for diatomaceous earth filters is 2 gpm per square foot.
187.2 sq. ft. @ 2.Ogpm ; 374.4 gpm .
~ The code required fi-hour tum over rate is 350 gpm.
f-~ Therefore the vacuum diatomaceous filters at Val(ey Mission and TeRace Vie.w.
are somewhat undersized but still fall within the maximum flow allowed* b .4 -
. code. This no doubt. accounts for the fact that the pool staff at thESe pools must, = .
~ . sometimes backwash at ance a day. It appears that bigger filter leaves could be,-''~ ' installed on these pools to correct this problem. .
~ The diatornaceous filters at Park Road were replaced several years ago with .
pressure sand filters. The new sand filters had no label on them therefore; we
were not able to determine the design load of the fifters. Pool operators have
I however, have had no problems with these filters and prefer them to the previous
~ vacuum diatomaceous earth filtors because thoy automatically backwash when
the filter pressure becomes too great.
~ Untortunately when these new sand fiit
ers were installed in the basement of the
mechanical room the available space was so sm311 that the required 3'-0"
! clearance for equipment maintenance was compromised. In some cases only 8"-
9" exisis between the filter piping and the pumps for maintenance access. Over
time this will discourage the maintenance staff from property maintaining
the pumps in these areas. .

~ VISUAL SURVEY OF THE SPLASHDOWN WATERSLIDE PARK
Robert Bignold and Mike Jackson visited the Splashdown facility at 8:00 am on I
, August 12, 2004. Geoff and Melissa Kellog, the owner-operators of the ` J
~ Splashdowm waterslide facility gave us a tour of the facility. The Splashdown
facility is located on the City of Spokane Valley's property under a 5-year lease.
The facility produces some $ 30,000 in lease payment annually to the city. The
~ Main entrance facility includes men's and women's IockEr rooms, an entry foyer
with ticket window, a candy and souvenir retail area, a concession area, as wQll
as business office and basement maintenance shop.
~ The fa
cility is developed as a park like area on a sloped piece of City of Spokane Parkland overlooking the I-90 freeway. The upper arE .of the Splashdown
inc)udes the waterslide starling platform; two spas anKiddies water play area.
The Kiddies water play area includ'es several shallow water pools and Kiddies ~ water slides. This area is nicely landscaped and attractively fenced with vertical
stained wood fencing. The approach to the bathhouse and entry canopy is
focated just north of tho Valley Missian Pool, at the break of a slope that
~ . overlooks and extends down to the I-90 freeway corridor below. The main features of the adult Splashdovin facility are four, 400 lineal feet, open flume
water slides, which twist and turn down the slope, giving swimmers an Exciting
~ and thrilling ride. All four water slides terminate into a large landing pool, located .
at the bottom of the slope. The pool is 36 inches deep at the water s(ide entry
point. The mechanical room for the water slides is located just north of the
landing pool. Each water,slide has a 5 a 50 H. P. - 3000 gpm pump and utilizes a
pressure sand filtration system. Geaff Kello g indicated that the waters l i d e s
operating system-was inspected hy the owhe►'s technicians in 2003 and was . found•to be in good condition. . . . . . -L
~ CONDITlON OF THE FACILITY
~ The Splashdown buildings and Equipment had beon well maintained over the
years and stil) gives visitors the appearance of a fairty new facility. The water
slides themselves are also in extremety good shape for a twenty three year old
~ facility. Geoff KeIlog indicated that each year the facility has waxed the
fiberglass slides with an R.V. wax. This has apparently preserved the surface of
the fibergfass in a nearly new appearing surface. On all of the 4- four hundred
~ foot water slides, the bathers enter the water just below the surfaco of the landing
pool. The water slide landing pool is 36" deep at the point of entry. The rules
and regulations of the Washington Departrnent of Health call for a water depth of
~ 42" at the point of Entry of this type of flume.

In 19 business days we performed 841 inspections. This averages out to 44 inspections per
day. We used an on-call inspector full time during February and that inspector was able to
acc4mplish 288 inspections. Our second on call inspector was assigned a limited number of
inspections, performing 35 during the month. We continue to experience a high volume of
Commercial Plan Review activity so we continue to use our On Call Pool for plan review of 1&
two family residential structures. That individual is working at about a.4 FTE rate at this time.
Construction Inspector Kevin Severance has been assigned to the Building Division from Public
Works to complete Right of Way Permits and to assist the Building Division with the
implementation of our Grading Regulations. Last month Kevin performed 347 inspections and
was able to close 306 of our outstanding ROW Permits.

DATL: Mareh l.l, 2005
RF: Jurisdictional recognition, independence ancl interagency cooperatian
Tlus report is in response to a request by couneil [o e.laborate ancl define che contuiuing
2005 wQrk plan goals aud stratcgies associated vvith ttie fitntrc aciivities of the SVPD.
The_ specif c requcst was in relation to the first bulletecl item contained wilhin the
segmcnt titled DFVELOP AND STRENC']`HEN' F:XTFRNAL 12F-LATIONS (Council
boal #5).
• Examine jurisdiclinnal recogiution; indepencience and uiteragency caoperation.
From the on-set of incorporation, a cle.ar inessage was dclivereci ihat this: city woulct
expect a certain amouni of independence ui relation to dealing with particular issues in a
manner ihat speciiically affected the activities thai occurred Nuitlun this city ancl had a
direct eFfect: on its citizens. Law enforcement as awhole has vcry specific standards,
policies, ancl procedttres that are agreat foundation of the service that we provide. 11ie
. establishment of our own police department (by contract) was to allow a certain ltnount
of independence. This indcpendence creates an ability to work on issues within a speci_6c
geofiraphic entity, a114wino us to focus a narrowly de.fined specific set of tasks in our
area. These specifics might noi be the same as those occurring in the rernaindcr of the
uiuucorporatcd area. This is a Uasic concept behind Community Orientec] Policing in
general: to focus on issues relating to specifc problems that are happening within cerlain
areas, without losing the "big picture" of a conunuiuty as a whole.
By establishment oi` ourselves as an independent :(:unctinning agcncy, respousible for this
specific area; we are claiming ownerslup to the things tha[ occur inside our area of
jurisdictional responsibility. This is the same thing lhat we ask neighbornoods to do:
look out for the diings that ar[ecc you, right in your own neig iborhood, step up and takc
an active role in being parl of the solution to whatever issues are having an effect on youu,
and work toge[her to help furkher the bettermen[ oi'our overall community as a whole.
Ta do this as your Spokane Valley Police Taepartment, we work to establish 01.1-selves in
the eyes of others as those who are responsible for the law enforcemenl tasks within our
own city. This is tL1e core of jurisdietional recognition. As we became a new city, we
needed to gel the message out to our ciciiens as well as our at:her law enforceiilent
parl'ners that we are hcre, ancl we are the agency responsible for the performancc of this
rale.
;
"1"lus jurisdictional indePendencc, whilc critical iii itself, is nothulg if we do not continue
to fostcr our continuing ability to be part of ihe larger family of agencies that work
toge[lier to make the wholc area (Greater Spoka.ne) a safe place ior our citir.ens. Crime ui
itself docs not pay attentidii to the same lines wc draw on a map that define spccific
bounciaries for cities, counties, or districts. We musc remain commieted lo being a❑ active
partner in work.ing on the issues that affeci our coirununity. ror example; drugs arc not
just a problem that affects us once they reach inside the boundary of our city. This is why
we partner in a multi-agency effort to unpact the pipeline that brings ihese substances to
our city. We cannot do alone what we can accomplish when we work together.
°l'here is no need to make Chis more complicated than it actually is. 'I`hc Spokane Vall.ey
Police Department operatuig in tlus city as the agency responsible 1'or prnviding law
enf'orcement services to this community; is standing up and taking o'wncrship of thai role,
and we arc gaiiung recognition in being here to fulfll thac role. At the same tune; we are
able to provide Che level of servicc we do bccausc of our declicated peaple and the
partnerstups Ihat we have wikh the great people ui our surrounding agencies.
I hope that diis e.xplains la you the reason this impor[ant cQpic was listed on our
continuing work plan.
Respectflully,

Minutes of Joint Meeting
Spokane County Commissioners and City of Spokane Valley Council
Monday, February 28, 2005
3:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
A Special Joint Meeting of the Spokane County Commissioners and City of Spokane Valley
Council was held on the above date at the Spokane County Public Works Building, Lower Level,
W. 1026 Broadway, Spokane, WA.
The session convened at 3:00 p.m. with the following present: Commissioner Phillip D. Harris,
Chair, Commissioner Todd Mielke, Vice-Chair, Commissioner Mark Richard and City Council
Members Mayor Wilhite, Deputy Mayor Munson, Councilmember Flanigan, Councilmember
Denenny, Councilmember Schimmels and Councilmember DeVleming. Councilmember Taylor
was absent.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the follouving item:
• Issues surrounding future Wastewater Treatment.
The meeting was open to the public, but was of a workshop format with no public testimony
taken. Discussion was limited to Council Members, County Comrnissioners, appropriate Staff
and Counsel.
i'
Bruce Rawls, Director of Utilities for Spokane County, began the meeting by going over an
outline (see handout A) with the Board and Council on the following topics:
• Background of Wastewater Facilities Planning
o Wastewater Treatment Plant Project Status
o Dissolved Oxygen Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
o Use Attainability Analysis (UAA)
o Petition to adopt the UAA by Formal Rule Making
o Possible Future Approaches
• Sfatus of interlocal agreement for Wastewater Management
• Status of the Wastewater Governance Discussions
• Intro to discussion of Assumption of the Wastevdater Collection System in the City
After the overview, the Board and Council discussed the DOE loan and the fact that the scope
was rewritten from a design/building to a study. Mr. Rawls also stated they would provide a
copy of the 151 quarteriy report to the City.
The Board and Council also discussed non-point sources sharing in the removal of phosphates.
Commissioner Niielke stated that in light of the withdrawal of the Petition by the petitioners and
the letter from DOE, he expected negotiations to move forward quickly. We need to look at the
draft TMDL and removal of discharges from the river.
Mr. Rawls stafed DOE admitted if dischargers were removed we would not meet the water
quality standards. State Water Quality Standards were used to establish the draft TMDL. The
Joint Nfeeting belween SpoY,ane County and City of Spokane Valley Page I of 3
February 28. 2005
Miiiutes prepared by Daniela Erickson, Clerk of the Board
UAA would set different water quality standards to be used in the TMDL. How would we .
develop a strategy to reach standard? Look at point and non-point sources. Look at non-point dischargers such as phosphates in dish soap, fertilizer, etc. DOE has an interest in going back
to the table to negotiate the TMDL. DOE knows we have a strong legal position. Clean Water
Act of 73 left a Iot of room for discussion. Some are interpreting by the law and not the intent. If
we find common ground with all the petitioners, DOE, govemor's office, legislators and work
together first and then present to EPA. Also, need to address the concerns of the tribes but first
work with DOE and then bring other groups in. People realize non-point sources are important
and also the need to address overall broad problems collaboratively.
Commissioner Mielke stated there vuas an exchange of letters last week whereby the petitioners
withdrew and DOE accepted the withdrawal. DOE would voluntarily put a hold on the draft
TMDL. Also, everyone would work together to look at the issue of allocation into the Spokane
River, begin discussions on non-point strategies and look at permit renewals/extensions.
Nir. Rawls stated that the letter from DOE provided a time frame of 90 days to resolve the draft
TMDL. UAA and allocation issues.
The next topic discussed was the County's change in policy regarding time allotted to hook up
to the sewer system. 11Ar. Rawls explained that previously, a homeowner had a twelve-month
time frame to connect to the sewer system after the County had sent notice. Under the new
policy, a notice would not be sent to a homeowner to connect to the sewer system until the
County knows what capacity is available. A homeowner could under the old or new policy
voluntarily connect to the sewer system. At the time capacity has been resolved the notices
would be send out sequentially and not all at once.
~
Mr. Rawls also discussed the outline item regarding acquisition of Saltese area for wetland \-J
restoration. He commented on a similar project in Phoenix, Arizona, which involved around 100
acres of wetland. He would like to discuss acquiring this area but would need to discuss further
with Doug Chase at Parks, regarding use of Conservation Future's monies, and the Dept. of
Fish and Wildlife before making any type of recommendation.
Councilmember Denenny questioned what amount of phosphorus was attributable to non-point
sources. Bruce Raw1s indicated that there needed to be more study on non-point sources and
background.
Bruce Rawls commented on the significance of a timely resolve of the TMDL matter. He
indicated that we needed a decision by the end of 2005. After this, it would take 2 years to
prepare plans for the new treatment facility and another 4 years to build the plant. We needed
the facility on line by the time we used our 10 million gallon capacity at the City of Spokane's
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant.
Councilmember DeVleming asked about the status of the Governance Committee. Bruce
Rawls indicated that at the last meeting the Committee had agreed to hire John Maxwell as a
mediator. Mr. Maxwell was to interview the governance members to see if there vtiras enough
commonality to proceed forward. He was not certain whether or not the City of Spokane had
executed their agreement but would check.
Commissioner Mielke said he would replace John Roskelley as the County's representative on
the Govemance Committee.

Minutes prepared by Daniela Erickson, ClerEc of the Board
Deputy Mayor Munson requested that the City be keep updated on DOE1Petitioner negotiafions.
Commissioner Mielke said he would keep Dave Mercier updated.
Lastly, the topic discussed was assumption of the wastewater collection system by the City.
Bruce Rawls indicated he had assembled everything that the city needs to know in conjunction
with accepting ownership of the wastewater collection system. He indicated the City probably
needed to hire a financial consultant to review the materials.
Councilmen DeVleming asked what was being transferred. Bruce Rawls indicated he did not
know exactly what would be transferred. This decision would be up to the Board of County
Commissioners and he had not had an opportunity to discuss this matter with them.
Prior to adjournment it was conceded that Bruce would meet with Mr. Maxwell, another
Governance Committee Meeting would be held and they would report back to everyone.
Commissioner Todd Mielke would represent the BOCC on the Governance Committee.
The meeting was adjoumed at approximately 4:45 p.m.

Customer use measures, District-wide
In response to the continuing decline in circulation (Deer Park is o.nce again the only brandi i.n the
positive colwnn); regional managers Linda Du.riham and Ellen Vi:iller havE beguci to analyze use of
the mat•erials collection by age group and formal- i.n an attempt tQ draw reasonable conclusions aboul
usc. Overal(, circulation is down 5°,W year-to-date frorr. 2004 but Web renewals conti.nue ro increase at
+11 ro and support strvices is up 549%, which is ahrributablc to tlie move of intErlibrary loan fi-om
Valley to Collection Services. I.l doesn't appear that Spokane Public L,ibrary's reduced hoiu•s are
havuig a great inzpact on our materia]s.
We'll atso be comparing SCLD sratistics to other libraries in the state to see if there are trencis
elsewhere.
The huge jump in reEerence (29.1%) is attributable in large part to Outreach Se.r.vices, whicli until this
month hadn't been ceunting reference innuiries in the saune manner as branches. 1"here's also been a
hig jump (24%) in meeting room bookings and program attendance is up 9% fi•on1 lasl• year. Internet
bookings are also down 1% systeiil wide compared to last year, when they were ]ower t-han the year.

New Moran Prairie I,ibraiy
Moran C'raii•ie Library cvnstruction hids opened February S were substantially higher than AiSC
Architects' cstimate and the budget-abaut $285,000 without consideri.ng "add" allernate opLioiis.
This reciuired rejection of all Uids submitted, redesigni.ng to lower costs, and undei•takulg an
expcdited re-bid process. SCLD project manager Ellen ivfiller, ALSC, and its engineering cansultants
worked together to come up with a series of proposEd design changes totaling approximatel.y
0375,000. Based on Ftbruar.y 1.5 Board action giving the Project Committee authority to approve the
redesign, AISC was given the go-ahead to usc the final changes approved by the comm.ittee to
prepare new bici docunnents to be nlade available to contractors on March 7.
i,one of the changes affect either the functionzility or size of the building, bu.t the), do el.itn.i.nate
several clesign features as well 3s sunplify so.me aspects of eleCtrical and mechanical systems. They
also include about $33,500 in "add" alternates ttlat we would like to see Uack in tile project. If the cost

Re: Public Comment, March 8, 2005 Council Mesting
• Robert Leyerle, 10122 E. 95r'' Ave, Spokane Valley 99206, 509-899-9126
Complaint: Junk cars in his neighborhood. He said he filed a complaint several
months ago and was to/d that this was not a high priority as we now only have
one code enforcement officer.
Code Enforcernent received a Citizen's Information Form dated 12-14-44, and although the
investigation needed to be prioritized and was not fully investigated until early February
2005, the City has taken the appropriate steps to help this neighborhood by ordering the
property owner to clean up his property. The case number is 04-9401.
During our investigation it was discovered that 4he property was involved as a meth house.
In 2003 the Health Department declared it unfit for use, but never notified the City of that
declaration. When Code Enforcement Officer Berg invesfigated this address he was able to
disc4ver the previous Health Department declaration, and followed up by not only ordering
the clean up of the junk vehicles, but the clean up/decontamination of the dwelling.
The dwelling was posted as a"Dangerous Building" in early February and, considering the
fiscal limitations of the property owner combined with the City's life / safety prioritization for
complaints, the clean up of the dwelling was most important and first up for abatement.
The awner of the property has entered into a Voluntary Compliance Agreement with the City
and has been executing thaf agreement for the last five weeks. To the neighbors it may
seem as if conditions are not changing, hoFrvever, the junk vehicles are being brought to the
front yard of the house to be staged for removal, and, according to Code Enforcement
Officer Berg, the dwelling is about to be tested to verify decontamination.
• Mary Po!lard - Her concern is the time frame in which construction workers
can work. Construction is allowed until 10 p.m. She wou/d like that ending
time changed.
There is no beginning or ending time for construction work_ Construction may continue
around the clock although it is required to be less noisy between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m.
, The Municipal Code does not mention times for construction, but it does deal with noise in
" the Nuisance Code.
Following the WAC, the City has allowed noise to be more intense from 7 a.m. until 10 p.m.
Generally speaking, we have found the noise associated with construction, including the _
noise associated with a rock quarry, falling well within those parameters found in the WAC.
The WAC also allows the City to change those requirements within a Nuisance Code if the
City would care to be more restrictive. If Council directs, work hours can be limited, or noise
levels decreased. The impact to construction would be that if fewer hours could be worked
or smaller equipment or fewer tools be available to be used, the cost of construction would
be increased.

Dear Mr. Leyerle,
Enclosed please find a copy of the status report concerning the information you
provided to our Code Enforcement Officer in December and at the public
comment portion of the March 8, 2005 City Council Meeting.
Although we do have to prioritize our citizen's concerns as we receive
information, we do press forward with an investigation as soon as practical to
' help our neighbors and neighborhoods resolve these types of issues.
~ As you can see from our report, the issues with the 10114 E 13th Ave property
grew from a junk vehicle complaint to a previously unaddressed Dangerous
Building. We felt that verifying that the residence was safe to inhabit was the
first priority in addressing this property, and hopefulty that problem has now
been solved.
Thank you for being vigilant in your concern for our City. Hopefully this
problem is on the way to resolution. If you would care to contact our Code
Enforcement Officer you may reach Mr. Berg at 869-5488.
Sincerely,
Tom Scholtens

Dear Miss Pollard,
Enclosed please find a copy of the status report concerning the information you
provided at the public comment portion of the March 8, 2005 City Council
Meeting. As you can see, construction work may be done around the clock in our City.
We have as yet not established any times that strictly ban this activity albeit
between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. there are requirements for less noise.
As the development continues around your neighborhood, if you encounfier an
especially noisy situation during normal business hours, ptease contact our
Code Enforcement Officer as the noise is happening. You may reach Mr. Berg
at869-5488.
We have a digital noise meter that can establish if a noise violation exists. But,
ifi is imperative that we measure the noise as it is happening as we can not
interpolate a noise violation.
Thank you for being concerned for our City. Community involvement is one of
the benchmarks for any great neighborhood.
Sincerely,
Tom Scholtens
