Program Proposal (Revenue /Cost) for Summer 2003*
*This projection sheet ONLY includes programs anticipated for summer 2003. We anticipate a minimum of 10% growth in program offerings in 2004 (which we expect to
continue increasing).
"Many of the supply costs listed are SET -UP ONLY, and will not be continued /recuning costs for the city. In the event that we do not reach our minimum "break even
registration" this summer, that does not neccesarily reflect future revenue /loss patterns.
Supplimental Information for Program Proposal Spreadsheet
1) Supply Costs are based on projections from Wenatchee and Renton who have similar, successful programs. The total costs are then evenly distributed to each
program section that will be sharing that cost.
2) Instructor Costs are based on competitive wages for similar positions in the Spokane area, and then evenly distributed to each program section that will be sharing
those instructors.
3) Facility Costs for Day Camps include projected admission to 2 -3 field trip locations for 22 participants (20 students, 2 facilitators) each week, based on stated group
rates for selected local museums, skate rinks, ball games, zoos, theaters, etc. We anticipate using no -cost facilities for our remaining activities (games, crafts, etc.).
4) Transportation Costs are only applicable to Day Camps, and were calculated based on 2 vehicles (totaling 50 gallons of gas per week - 2 full fuel tanks of 20 gallons
and 30 gallons at a rate of $1.70 /gallon).
5) Transaction Costs will only apply to classes for which we handle registrations - this is the cost charged to us for use of the Thrive Software Package, and we will
charge this back to the registrant (in addition to their "registrant fee ").
6) The "number of registrants required" is rounded to the nearest whole person required for the class to break even. Please note that the Outdoor Playground is the only
general fund (non fee - based) program we are offering this summer.
7) It was proposed at one point that the City throw in an additional $1 /registrant, and in that case, the new revenue appears in the final column - that may be a good idea
this first season until we have a better sense of our costs.
8) Preschool Classes and the Indoor playground will use a single instructor, so we will have multiple class /program sections in order to accommodate the number of
students required to meet the cost burdens. Much of the supply costs will be set -up only (play equipment, music, etc.) and will not be recurring, so lower numbers of
registrants will not overburden the city in the long run. Supply costs may also be inflated on this projection, as some of the equipment will likely be shared between
different classes (tumbling will use mats from indoor playground, etc.)
9) SkyHawks Camps are sports camps for elementary /JrHigh students, and the SkyHawks organization provides all instructors and supplies. We will be using school
facilities at no charge to us. SkyHawks handles all reservations and will give us 10% of the proceeds for our camps.
10) The Westem Dance Hall has expressed an interest in contracting services to teach Square Dancing to youth. We have yet to work out the details, but it would be
similar to the contract with SkyHawks - we will use their facilities and their instructors, and we will get a percentage of the proceeds. The only difference is that we will
handle the registration.
11) Donna's School of Dance would like to contract with us to teach 4 dance classes (different age groups). This will be the same situation as with the Square Dance
classes - we use their facilities and instructors, we handle the registration, and we get a percentage of the proceeds. This contract has NOT been specified yet, but
know her prices and class sizes.

Projected Programs
Summer 2003
• Youth Sports — based) - We are working with Skyhawks to put on 7 youth sport camps for kids age
4 -14 (Skyhawks will do all the coaching, advertising, and money collecting, and we will be given a
percentage of the proceeds). We have secured dates for 7 sport camps (all different sports in order to
give us an idea for demand in the future — basketball, soccer, tennis, golf, flag football, and 2 combo
sports which both include baseball), and we have a contract with Skyhawks that is currently being
reviewed. We have reserved South Pines Elementary for the 2 camps involving 4 -7 year olds, and have
learned from the Central Valley School District that it is their intent to give us priority with facility use
(fields and gyms) this summer AFTER they have reserved usage for their own needs. It is our hope to
secure University Center (old University High School) for the remaining sport camps, and we will know
this on February 20 when CV officially approves facility use for this summer.
• Day Camps — (fee based) - We would like to put on 6 weeks of day camps this summer for elementary -
age students. We have met with Eastern, WSU, Whitworth, and Gon.zaga regarding a lead "intern" to
work with us this spring to help plan the themes and activities for each week of camp — that person will
then be the lead facilitator during each session of camp (Head .Counselor). We have also submitted
requests to Eastem's Recreation Program for summer counselors who may need hours of service toward
their Recreation Degree. Whitworth had a "job fair" for summer,camps today (.Feb. 13` and we
attended, collecting resumes of potential camp counselors.
• -- Playground — (general fund) — This program would offer playground activities and facilitation
of games for kids at some of our own parks. We would hire 2 positions to rotate between 2 parks each
(1/2 day at 4 parks), and we have alerted the colleges about this job opportunity.
• Dance Classes — (fee based) - We have spoken with Donna's Dance Studio and they are interested in
contracting with us to put on some dance classes for pre - school through adult (4 classes: preschool,
youth, teen, adult). They will use their facility and their instructors, and we are building the contract
now.
• Square Dance — (fee based) - Vern Boggs of the Western Dance Hall is interested in teaching 1 -2 youth
square dance classes (beginning class, follow -up class). We will use their facility and he (and possibly
one other person he will locate) will instruct. We are working out contract details now.
• Indoor Playground = (general fund OR small drop -in fee) — This program involves setting up indoor play
equipment and allowing toddlers and parents to come play for a period ofapproximately an hour, one
day a week. We have learned that we may do this at the Western Dance Hall in Sullivan Park,or we
may be able to use one of the Central Valley or West Valley schools (at no charge). We have placed a
request for use of a gym at University Center for this program, and have spoken with Centennial Middle
School about using their "common area" for this program — they will know more about West Valley's
summer facility use in March.
• Preschool "classes" — (fee based) - We would like to offer a small number of fee -based preschool
"classes" such as arts /crafts, story time, tumbling, etc. that would each be an hour a week for 6 -8 weeks
during the summer We have requested resumes from WSU's Early Childhood Development program,
and would like to select an intern who can start in early May and handle the facilitation of these classes
(and the indoor playground program) as well as the planning of the course curriculum. We have put in
requests with University Center to use a few of their classrooms for these programs.

Cautionary Note: The following caseload estimates for the City of Spokane Valley are
hosed on historical data for the years of 2000 and 2001 and the _first 9 months of
2002. Since April of 2002, however, the entire county has experienced a surge in
case . filings, e.g. average of 59% increase in infractions, 53% increase in DUI
arrests, and a 1 7% increase in other criminal filings. This trend is not fully
considered in these caseload/workload estimates.
* County includes all law enforcement activity which could be chargeable to a municipality but is
currently provided by county law enforcement agencies, i.e. Animal Control, Sheriff's Department.
This column does not include WSP citations, Burlington Northern, Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, Dept. of
Fisheries, Labor and Industries, State Dept. of Natural Resources, State Dept. of Social and Health
Services, Union Pacific Railroad, State Utilities and Transportation, Department of Wildlife or any
other state law enforcement agency.
Summary and Conclusion:
Page 2 of 3
2002 infraction /Criminal Filing Projections
Mier culling out the relevant numbers from the Sheriff Department report, entitled
"Statistical Analysis of Valley City Arrests ", and comparing these with the numbers
arrived from our "in- house" survey of case filings for the period June 1, 2002 -
September 30, 2002, and further comparing these with a special BRIO report from
JJS, conducted by the Court's Computer Applications Assistant, it is our conclusion
that the estimate of caseload flings for the City of Spokane Valley are reliable and
may be used to project staffing needs for the delivery of municipal court services and
to estimate projected costs for these cases based on both a cost per case basis and a
weighted workload analysis.
The one exception to the analysis is that for Infraction filings. The report indicates
that RIM did not enter infraction data for the last half of 2001 and, therefore, we rely

the costs will more than likely increase in 2004. For instance, Assistant Public Defenders and /or
support staff may receive salary adjustments by the BOARD or the maintenance and operation

will be reflected in the figures used in the methodologies for calculating CITY'S 2004 estimated
costs. Additionally, the methodologies will use the Spokane County Geo -Coded Analysis Report
( "Report "). This Report tracks the actual number of cases handled by PUBLIC DEFENDER for
CITY.

using the numbers in the Report for each year, COUNTY and CITY will each determine
respectively whether or not the estimated M &O numbers and percentage numbers used as the basis
for calculating costs of PUBLIC DEFENDER services were accurate. Any disagreement between
the PARTIES as to M &O and /or percentage shall be resolved pursuant to Section No. 15
hereinafter. To the extent that CiTY was over billed in any year, it will receive a credit to be applied
as mutually agreed. If CITY was under billed, it will receive a debit in the subsequent billing. The
adjustment will normally take place in March of the year following the year Prosecution Services
were performed.
COUNTY will bill CITY for the cost of services as outlined, monthly, during the first week of the
month. Dividing that fee set forth herein above by nine (9) for calendar year 2003 and by twelve
(12) annually thereafter will base monthly payments. Payments by CITY will be due by the 5 day

Valley City Costs for Public Defender Representation
This cost proposal is based on calculations extrapolated from the Sheriff's Dept. geo -coded
statistics for first nine months of the year 2002 and the Public Defender PDMAhI records of
County cases for the same time period. This time period is the most appropriate basis for a
projection of costs since it reflects recent changes in the criminal justice system that will
continue to affect the number of arrests and prosecutions for misdemeanor and gross
misdemeanor cases. The percentage of Public Defender County cases attributable to the Valley
City for this time period is 39 %. The figure below reflects 39% of the modified Misdemeanor
budget for the year 2003 plus a cost allocation for investigative services and overhead. The
budget has been modified to more accurately reflect the administrative and O &M costs of the
misdemeanor services provided by the Spokane County Public Defender. Investigative services
costs have been separately calculated because the investigators are paid out of the general
organization (0047) budget. Overhead has been calculated at the rate of 6.34% of salaries and
benefi ts.
Salaries and Benefits: $234,090
investigator Salaries and Benefits: $ 2,835
O &M $ 9,180
Cost Allocation $ 14.841
Total: $260,946
Cost per Case
The projected number of misdemeanor /show cause cases in the Public Defender's Office for the
year 2003 is 5,400. This projection is based upon the total number of misdemeanor /show cause
cases for the year 2002 and the recent increase in traffic patrol officers and DUI prosecutions. If
this projection is accurate, the number of Valley City misdemeanor and show cause cases will be
2,106 (39 %of 5,400). With that number of cases, the cost per case will be $163.00. This
estimate is consistent with misdemeanor /show cause cost per case statistics for recent years. The
cost per case for the years 1999, 2000 and 2001 were: $164, $168, and $150 respectively. If the
actual number of misdemeanor /show cause cases is lower than has been projected, the cost per
case will be higher. For example, the cost per case for 39% of 5,000 cases handled in the year
2003 would be $177.00. This amount is still a relative bargain when compared to the cost of
private or PD contract representation.

Approved:
Valley City Misdemeanor and Gross Misdemeanor Cases
These calculations are based on statistics provided by the Sheriffs Department and on the data
contained within the Public Defender's PDMAN case management system. The data from the
Sheriff's Department has been coded for the first nine months of 2002 to provide a statistically
reliable percentage of Spokane County cases that have originated within the geographical area
attributable to the Valley City. The PDM.AN statistics allow for a segregation of those cases that
are solely attributable to Spokane County. Cases that are attributable to state agencies or
municipalities have been excluded because they would not be adjudicated in the Valley City
justice system under any circumstance. Thus, a percentage of Public Defender cases that would
have to be handled by the Valley City can be calculated by determining the percentage of overall
cases that are strictly Spokane County cases and reducing that percentage further by the
application of the percentage - figure of Valley City /County cases developed by the Sheriff's
Department. In making this determination, a separate calculation for Show Cause Hearings was
not made since they would track on the same basis as the misdemeanor cases.
