February 11, 2003
To: Spokane Valley City Council
From: Penny Lancaster, Community Impact Spokane,
14816 E. Farwell, Spokane, WA 99217; 922 -4825
I am pleased that the council is considering the adoption of the county ordinance, which was
updated and adopted with a 5 -year amortization period for existing businesses, in 1999. It is a
well- written document and has been defended in state and federal courts, so you are standing on
solid ground.
May T remind you of the critical nature of Adult Entertainment regulations and zoning ordinances.
They are designed to prevent and control health, safety, and welfare issues; and the decline in
neighborhood conditions in and around Adult Entertainment premises. Reading from the preamble
of the proposed ordinance it says, in part: "...the board finds that adult entertainment
establishments are frequently used for unlawful activities including prostitution, sexually explicit
conduct in a public place, lewdness, drug activity, use and distribution of obscenity, and sexual
exploitation of minors..." and "licensing is a legitimate and reasonable means of
accountability..."
In light of this truth, I would suggest a small amendment that would bring these regulations into
line with Spokane City's regulations and consistent with the current county restrictions for an
adult entertainment establishment, namely DejaVu.
The proposed ordinance states at Sec.7.80.100 (g) Hours of Operation: "An adult entertainment
establishment may not be operated or otherwise open to the public between the hours of two a.m.
and ten a.m." As "adult entertainment establishment" is defined in the county ordinance this
restriction would not apply to Adult Retail Use Only Establishments like Castle Bookstore, Ms
Kitty's, and the two World Wide Video stores on the East 9000 block of Sprague.
But why should they be exempt? The secondary harmful effects apply to them just as much as
DejaVu — if not more so. The concern is that men are frequenting these businesses after the bars
close, often inebriated. They are also coming from within the city of Spokane looking for
pornographic materials because their adult bookstores are required to close at 2 a.m. Sometimes
they park down the block and walk by businesses that are closed and dark. On at least one
occasion a business was broken into late at night, after the Erotique Boutique opened on Division
and Garland. One woman reported seeing a man looking into her window after 1 in the morning.
The traffic and noise associated with these bookstores 24 hours a day is unnecessary. Other video
and bookstores don't stay open all night.
Does this reasonable request further the government's interest in preventing crime during the late
night hours; is it Constitutional; is it legal? You bet it is! On March 30, 2000 the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court's ruling that Arizona's law closing adult businesses at 1
a.m. is constitutional. WA State courts have also agreed with these limitations.
I encourage you to take advantage of this window of opportunity tonight to amend the county
ordinance with this proposed provision - for the sake of consistency within the ordinance and with
Spokane City laws. Merely add the words "and Adult Retail Use Establishments" to Section
7.80.100(g). Why wait to make Spokane Valley City a little safer at night?

Agenda Bill No. 2003 -01.7, Department head position profiles and salary ranges:
Greg Prothman, said that he has researched organizational structure of the Spokane
County and the City of Spokane department staffing and provided Council a summary of
positions, salary ranges and work hours included in the salary for these two agencies.
Both of these governmental agencies have quite a diiTerent structure than the traditional
staffing structure that Spokane Valley is going to have. So he has spread out to other
cities in Eastern Washington to provide salary range comparisons as the Council directed.
Prothman provided salary reviews for the department heads that includes the Tri- Cities,
with a recommended salary range for each position.
Councilmembers discussed the need to provide salary range to attract top -notch
candidates, that new cities are high -risk situations, that the public works director will be
accountable for managing contracts and/or personnel, and what factors attract qualified
candidates.
Councilmember Munson moved and Deputy Mayor Wilhite seconded that the Public
Works Director salary range be $75.000 - $100,000.

STAFF RECOMMENDS COUNCIL MAKE A MOTION TO: Advance Ordinance No. 36 to second
reading.
DISCUSSION: The issue of regulating "adult entertainment" has been a difficult and contentious issue
with Washington cities for several years. Many efforts have failed because the line between "free speech"
and public decency has been difficult to define to the satisfaction of the Courts. Fortunately, Spokane
County has developed an ordinance that appears to be effective and which has also passed muster at the
9 Circuit Court. Rather than expend resources developing our own City version, I am recommending
that Spokane Valley adopt the County ordinance by reference.
The Sheriff is familiar with this legislation and has experience in enforcing its provisions. If experience
suggests that this ordinance has shortcomings then of course it can be modified.
ALTERNATIVES: (1) To not adopt the ordinance and the City would not regulate these establishments, or (2)
direct the City Attorney to draft alternate legislation.
FISCAL IMPACT: No additional cost. Enforcement will be part of the proposed law enforcement
contract.

7.80.010 Preamble.
WHEREAS, the board of county commissioners of Spokane County, hereinafter "the
board,' is committed to protecting the general welfare of the unincorporated areas of the
county through the enforcement of laws prohibiting obscenity, indecency and sexual
offenses while preserving constitutionally protected forms of expression, and based upon
public testimony and other evidence and information before it; and
WHEREAS, having made a detailed review of the national record, the record in the city of
Spokane and the state of Washington, and the conditions in the county of Spokane
regarding live adult entertainment establishments and adult entertainment establishments
with arcades, hereinafter collectively referred to as "adult entertainment establishments,'
the board has conducted an in depth study of the legal issues, regulatory and licensing
options, expenses, actions and ordinances utilized by other jurisdictions. Spokane County
finds that adult entertainment establishments require special supervision from the public
safety agencies of Spokane County in order to protect and preserve the health, safety and
welfare of the patrons and employees of such businesses as well as the citizens of
Spokane County; and
WHEREAS, the board finds that concerns about crime and public sexual activity within the
adult entertainment establishments are legitimate, substantial and compelling concerns of
the county which demand reasonable regulation; and
WHEREAS, the board finds that adult entertainment establishments are frequently used
for unlawful activities including prostitution, sexually explicit conduct in a public place,
lewdness, drug activity, use and distribution of obscenity, and sexual exploitation of
minors; and
WHEREAS, the board finds that adult entertainment establishments, due to their nature,
have secondary adverse impacts upon the health, safety and welfare of the citizen,ry
through increases in crime and opportunity for spread of sexually transmitted diseases;
and
WHEREAS, the concern over sexually transmitted diseases is a legitimate health concern
of the county which demands reasonable regulation of adult entertainment establishments
in order to protect the health and well -being of the citizens of Spokane County; and
WHEREAS, licensing is a legitimate and reasonable means of accountability to ensure that
operators of adult entertainment establishments comply with reasonable regulations and to
ensure that operators do not knowingly allow their establishments to be used as places of
illegal sexual activity or solicitation, while providing to those who desire to operate or to
patronize adult entertainment uses an opportunity to do so in a secure environment; and
WHEREAS, there is convincing documented evidence that adult entertainment
establishments, if not appropriately regulated and licensed, have a detrimental effect on
both the existing businesses around them and the surrounding residential areas adjacent
to them, causing increased crime, the downgrading of quality of life and property values,
and the spread of urban blight. Reasonable regulation of these facilities will provide for the
protection of the community, protect residents, patrons and employees from the adverse
secondary effects of such arcade facilities; and
WHEREAS, licensing of managers and requiring their presence on the premises during all
times when adult entertainment is offered is necessary so that the individual responsible
for the overall operation of the establishment, including the actions of patrons, entertainers
and other employees, will be available and accountable at all necessary times; and
WHEREAS, licensing fees required herein are nominal fees imposed as necessary
regulatory expenses incurred by the county in regulating adult entertainment
establishments; and
WHEREAS, locational criteria alone cannot adequately protect the health, safety and
general welfare of the citizens of this county; and
WHEREAS, it is not the intent of this ordinance to suppress any speech activities protected
by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, or Article 1, Section 5 of the
Washington State Constitution, but to enact content neutral legislation which addresses
the negative secondary impacts of adult entertainment establishments; and
WHEREAS, it is not the intent of the board to condone or legitimize the distribution of
obscene material, and the board recognizes that state and federal law prohibits the
distribution of obscene materials; and
WHEREAS, the board at its duly advertised public hearing on November 4, 1997,
considered the subject matter of adult entertainment establishments within the
unincorporated areas of the county of Spokane, at which public hearing the board received
comments from the public on that subject matter, which the board believes to be true, and
which, together with the findings heretofore set forth as the basis for the enactment of
Resolution No. 97 -1052, form the basis for the adoption of this chapter; and
Pursuant to the authority granted by the Constitution and the legislature of the state of
Washington, be it enacted by the Spokane board of county commissioners the provisions
of this Chapter 7.80. (Res. 97 -1052 Attachment A (§ 1), 1997)
7.80.020 Findings.
(a) Based upon a wide range of evidence presented to the board and that presented in
other jurisdictions to legislators and courts, including but not limited to the testimony of
enforcement officers, members of the public, and based upon other evidence, information,
publications, articles, studies, caselaw, and materials submitted to and /or reviewed by the
board and staff, the board finds that the commercial offering of adult entertainment
establishments containing live adult entertainment and /or arcade devices is a use which,
although afforded some constitutional protection in the material or performance to be
viewed, often creates or enhances undesirable secondary effects, which include a wide
range of criminal and unlawful activities that are detrimental to the public health, safety and
welfare of Spokane County, which have regularly and historically occurred within and
around the adult entertainment facilities. These adverse secondary effects are well
documented in the national record.
The criminal activity complained of has included the following: narcotics and liquor law
violations; breaches of the peace; assaults; criminal activity involving illegal contact
between patrons and between entertainers and patrons; tax evasion; money laundering
activity; sexually explicit conduct, acts of lewdness, and indecent exposure; prostitution,
patronizing a prostitute, promotion of prostitution; sale, promotion, production, distribution,
dissemination or display of obscenity or child pornography; soliciting, procuring, aiding and
abetting, employing, authorizing, or causing a sexual performance by a minor; indecent
conduct with a minor; communication with a minor for immoral purposes; sexual assault or
rape; sexual solicitation, molestation or exploitation of a minor; contributing to the
delinquency of a minor; maintaining a moral nuisance; having a minor on the premises of a
commercial establishment where there are materials or performances depicting specified
anatomical areas or activities.
Adult entertainment facilities have engaged in practices which involve secreting ownership
interests for the purpose of skimming profits and avoiding the payment of taxes in the
absence of regulations such as those herein set forth. These hidden ownership interests
have, on occasion, been held by individuals and entities reputed to be involved in
organized crime. In order for the county to effectively protect the public safety and general
welfare of its citizens and effectively allocate law enforcement resources, it is important
that the county be fully apprised of the actual operation of adult entertainment
establishments, and identities and backgrounds of persons responsible for management
and control of the adult entertainment establishments.
Sexually oriented businesses of this nature have historically produced adverse secondary
effects that are often not controlled by the owners, operators, managers or personnel
associated with the establishments. Such persons, and persons previously convicted of a
specified criminal activity, have demonstrated an inability and/or unwillingness to maintain
premises which are free from such adverse secondary effects. In some instances,
employees have been sanctioned by management for not cleaning up after patrons' sexual
contacts in the facilities. Used condoms are frequently present in adult arcade premises.
Some adult arcade facilities sell sexual devices which are then used on the premises.
Masturbation and other sexual contacts within the arcade stations or booths is a frequent
occurrence in arcade facilities.
Much of the national legislative record is also documented in case law which has
developed in Washington State and around the nation. Ino Ino Inc. v. City of Bellevue, 132
Wn.2d 103 (1997) (Municipality's ordinance regulating and licensing live adult
entertainment facility is constitutionally valid; courts have recognized government's
substantial interest in curbing secondary effects of adult entertainment establishments.)
The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized that cities and states have a
substantial governmental interest in preserving the character of their neighborhoods,
preventing the deterioration therein, and that this reasoning is sufficient support for
regulating adult entertainment establishments. Renton v. Playtime Theater, Inc. 475 U.S.
41, 89 L.Ed.2d 29, 106 S.Ct 925 (1986). In Renton, the Supreme Court further expanded
the ability of the legislative body to rely upon the experiences of other cities and the notion
of 'legislative notice" to satisfy the requirement that the ordinance be narrowly tailored to
achieve the governmental interest. Renton, 106 S.Ct. at 930.
(b) Since 1985, the city of Spokane has been studying the issues attendant to adult
entertainment facilities. In 1993, the city of Spokane enacted a comprehensive ordinance
licensing, regulating and setting enforcement parameters for these facilities. Since that
time the city of Spokane successfully defended many challenges to its adult arcade
ordinance. In developing and implementing its program, the city of Spokane has worked
with many cities, counties and law enforcement agencies around the country regarding the
adverse secondary effects associated with adult entertainment facilities containing arcade
booths and the best methods for addressing these secondary effects.
Ordinances regulating arcade booths are narrowly tailored if they allow for reasonable
alternative avenues of communication. Restrictions which require the booths be "open to
an adjacent public room" are narrowly tailored so long as the regulation "promotes a
substantial governmental interest that would be achieved less effectively absent the
regulation." Mitchell v. Comm'n on Adult Entertainment Establishment, 10 F.3d 123, 137
(3rd Cir. 1993). Adult Entertainment v. Pierce County, 57 Wn. App. 435 (1990) (Arcade
ordinance requiring doors be removed is justified by the fundamental purpose of
preserving the public health and safety); Arcara v. Cloud Books, Inc., 478 U.S. 697 (1986)
(Evidence submitted which indicated booths were used for masturbation, fondling, and
fellatio by patrons on the premises of the store); Wall Distributors, Inc. v. Newport News,
VA., 782 F.2d 1165 (4th Cir. 1986) (Ordinance reasonable because it will prevent
masturbation and related unsanitary conditions which occur in the adult arcade setting);
Ellwest Stereo Theatres, Inc. v. Wenner, 681 F.2d 1243 (9th Cir. 1982) (Anticipated health
and safety problems associated with adult arcade facility sufficient to justify ordinance).
Many other cities and counties have experienced the same adverse secondary effects as
those which were evident when the city of Spokane enacted its ordinance regulating and
licensing adult arcade facilities. Much of the national legislative record detailing adverse
secondary effects sterns from land use studies which examined the effects of adult
entertainment establishments. Even though many of the land use studies conducted
across the country and rejected in the caselaw resulted in zoning regulations, the record
also details facilities rampant with criminal activity and other adverse secondary effects,
even after dispersal or restrictive zoning has been put in place. So, although some
jurisdictions have utilized zoning as a sole method of minimizing the adverse secondary
effects of these businesses, Spokane County finds that zoning alone is not sufficient to
control the adverse secondary effects which arise from the operation of such a facility. As
such, the resolution codified in this chapter seeks to supplement the efforts of the county's
resolution zoning adult entertainment establishments.
The following suits provide an overview of the efforts and results in the city of Spokane
regarding the adult arcade ordinance enacted in 1993. Book City, Inc. v. City of Spokane,
Superior Court Cause No. 93- 06099 -2 (Constitutionality of ordinance upheld -- appeal
pending); Book City, Inc. v. City of Spokane, Superior Court Cause No. 95- 2- 032987 -0
(Writ of Review upholding denial of license -- appeal pending); World Wide Video, et al. v.
City of Spokane, Superior Court Cause No. 95 -2- 02795 -9 (Upholding constitutionality
under state constitution, appeal pending); City of Spokane v. Book City & Walton,
Municipal Court Cause No. P960034 (Successful prosecution of a corporation and an
individual for hiring an underage dancer -- upheld on appeal); Spokane Arcade, Inc. v. City
of Spokane, 75 F.3d 663 (9th Cir. 1996) (Constitutionality of ordinance upheld under U.S.
Constitution and finding no constitutional right to make a profit). Each action, the
supporting documentation, and trial materials and testimony are contained in the legislative
record and are herein incorporated by reference. It has been the experience of the city of
Spokane that to be effective the facilities must adhere to all facets of the ordinance, must
actively self- monitor, and must work closely with law and code enforcement personnel.
To maximize the benefit of the city's education and experience in this area, and to
supplement the county's resources to document the adverse secondary effects associated
with adult entertainment facilities with arcades, Spokane County worked very closely with
numerous city of Spokane departments to ensure the resolution codified in this chapter
was responsive to the county's needs. A copy of the legislative record utilized by the city of
Spokane in enacting its ordinance, as well as a copy of the transcript of the public hearing
and a transcript of the testimony in Spokane Arcade, Inc. v. City of Spokane, 75 F.3d 663
(9th Cir. 1996), are attached and incorporated as a part of this record. All other materials
reviewed and relied upon, whether attached as copies or not, and entities /persons
contacted are also incorporated as a part of this record.
(c) Similarly, prior to the enactment of this chapter the county of Spokane worked closely
with the city of Bellevue and other cities around the state in developing the portion of this
resolution which seeks to license and regulate live adult entertainment establishments.
Specifically, the legislative record of two such cities, the city of Bellevue, and the city of
Federal Way, and the model "Proposed Senate Bill Regulating Live Adult Entertainment"
are incorporated in Spokane County's legislative record in support of this resolution.
The Spokane board of county commissioners, therefore, finds that the protection and the
preservation of public health, safety and welfare requires enactment of this chapter. (Res.
97 -1052 Attachment A (§ 2), 1997)
7.80.020 Findings.
(a) Based upon a wide range of evidence presented to the board and that presented in
other jurisdictions to legislators and courts, including but not limited to the testimony of
enforcement officers, members of the public, and based upon other evidence, information,
publications, articles, studies, caselaw, and materials submitted to and /or reviewed by the
board and staff, the board finds that the commercial offering of adult entertainment
establishments containing live adult entertainment and/or arcade devices is a use which,
although afforded some constitutional protection in the material or performance to be
viewed, often creates or enhances undesirable secondary effects, which include a wide
range of criminal and unlawful activities that are detrimental to the public health, safety and

The criminal activity complained of has included the following: narcotics and liquor law
violations; breaches of the peace; assaults; criminal activity involving illegal contact
between patrons and between entertainers and patrons; tax evasion; money laundering
activity; sexually explicit conduct, acts of lewdness, and indecent exposure; prostitution,
patronizing a prostitute, promotion of prostitution; sale, promotion, production, distribution,
dissemination or display of obscenity or child pornography; soliciting, procuring, aiding and
abetting, employing, authorizing, or causing a sexual performance by a minor; indecent
conduct with a minor; communication with a minor for immoral purposes; sexual assault or
rape; sexual solicitation, molestation or exploitation of a minor; contributing to the
delinquency of a minor; maintaining a moral nuisance; having a minor on the premises of a
commercial establishment where there are materials or performances depicting specified
anatomical areas or activities.
Adult entertainment facilities have engaged in practices which involve secreting ownership
interests for the purpose of skimming profits and avoiding the payment of taxes in the
absence of regulations such as those herein set forth. These hidden ownership interests

The Supreme Court of the United States has recognized that cities and states have a

The following suits provide an overview of the efforts and results in the city of Spokane

The Spokane board of county commissioners, therefore, finds that the protection and the
preservation of public health, safety and welfare requires enactment of this chapter. (Res.
97 -1052 Attachment A (§ 2), 1997)
7.80.030 Purpose.
In the development and adoption of this chapter, the county recognized that there are adult
entertainment uses which, due to their very nature, have serious objectionable operational
characteristics, particularly when located in close proximity to residential neighborhoods
and schools, thereby having a deleterious impact upon the quality of life in the surrounding
areas. It has been acknowledged by courts and communities across the nation that state
and local governmental entities have a special concern in regulating the operation of such
businesses under their jurisdiction to ensure the adverse secondary effects of the
establishments are minimized.
This chapter is intended to protect the general public health, safety and welfare of the
citizenry of the unincorporated areas of Spokane County through the regulation of the
operations and licensing of the adult entertainment devices, premises and personnel of
adult entertainment establishments. The provisions of this chapter have neither the
purpose nor effect of imposing a limitation or restriction on the content of any
constitutionally protected sexually oriented or explicit communicative materials, or
communicative performances. The regulations set forth herein are intended to prevent and
control health, safety and welfare issues, the decline in neighborhood conditions in and
around adult entertainment establishments, and to prevent dangerous and unlawful
conduct associated with these facilities. This chapter may not be construed as permitting
or promoting obscene conduct or materials. (Res. 97 -1052 Attachment A (§ 3), 1997)

before the examiner, including a verbatim transcript of the hearing(s) and a copy of all

deposit for the same. If the hearing examiner, the appellant and other parties of record
agree, or upon order of the board, the verbatim transcript and documents in the record

record that are duplicative or irrelevant to the issues to be reviewed by the board. The
hearing examiner shall also prepare within such fourteen -day period a total of six copies of
the official certified record, including one for each board member, one for the appellant,
one for the prosecuting attorney's office and one for the county sheriff. Upon completion of
the certified record and required copies, and payment of the costs owing for the same by
the appellant, the hearing examiner shall promptly forward the certified record to the clerk
of the board, and provide copies of the record to those entitled. Other parties of record
may obtain copies of the record for the cost of reproduction.
(f) At the next regular meeting of the board following receipt of the certified record from the
hearing examiner, the board shall schedule a date at which it shall consider the appeal.
Such date shall not be earlier than thirty -five days from the board's receipt of the certified
record. Notice of the meeting at which the board will set the date of the hearing need not
be provided by the board to the appellant or other parties of record. The appellant or other
parties of record may address the matter of setting an appeal date either by appearing in
person at the meeting or by filing a letter with the board prior to the meeting. Upon the
board setting a date for consideration of the appeal, the clerk of the board shall give notice
of the time, place and date of such consideration to all parties of record by mailing notice
to such parties at their addresses contained in the record or filed with the board.
(g) The appellant and any other party of record may file a memorandum in support of the
appeal with the clerk of the board, provided it is filed no later than twelve p.m. on the
second Friday preceding the date set for consideration of the appeal. The respondent and
any other party of record may file a response memorandum with the clerk of the board,
provided it is filed by twelve p.m. on the Friday immediately preceding the date for
consideration of the appeal. The memorandums filed shall not contain any new facts or
evidence or discuss any matter outside the record, except as provided in subsection (c) of
this section. Any memorandum containing information in violation of this subsection will
either be stricken or have such information stricken from the memorandum by the board
and not considered.
(h) All parties of record desiring to make oral argument to the board have the obligation to
communicate with other parties of record to align themselves either in support of or in
opposition to the appeal, and shall attempt to reach agreement for the selection of a
common speaker or to allocate the time allowed between them. The board, acting through
its chair, will allow the appellant and other parties of record in support of the appeal up to
thirty minutes to make oral argument in support of the appeal, answer questions by the
board and rebut the arguments of those opposed to the appeal. Following the argument(s)
in support of the appeal, the chair will allow the respondent(s) up to twenty minutes to
make argument, respond to the questions from the board and rebut the arguments of
those in favor of the appeal. This subsection authorizes the presentation of argument only,
to persuade the board that a particular conclusion follows logically from the law or
evidence in the record, and that the record or the law does not support the findings or
decision of the hearing examiner, but does not authorize the presentation of any new
evidence or facts.
(i) The board shall review the record and such supplemental evidence as permitted under
subsection (c) of this section. The board may reverse, modify or remand the decision of
the hearing examiner only if the appellant has met the burden of establishing one of the
following standards for relief:
(1) The hearing examiner engaged in unlawful procedure or failed to follow a prescribed
process, unless the error was harmless;
(2) The hearing examiner's decision is an erroneous interpretation of the law, after allowing
for such deference as is due the construction of the law by a local jurisdiction with
expertise;
(3) The hearing examiner's decision is not supported by evidence that is substantial when
viewed in Tight of the entire record;
(4) The hearing examiner's decision is a clearly erroneous application of the law to the
facts; or
(5) The hearing examiner's decision is outside the authority or jurisdiction of the examiner.
The board may also remand the hearing examiner's decision for further proceedings if the
appellant seeks to enter information outside the record that was not previously available
for reasons beyond the control of that party, and such information if admitted would more
than likely affect the outcome of the appeal. If the board reverses, modifies or remands the
decision of the hearing examiner, it shall set forth in its written order its findings and
conclusions justifying such action.
(j) The clerk of the board shall mail a copy of the board's written decision to the appellant
and other parties of record before the board, which decision shall include a statement
regarding appeal rights. Any party of record before the board aggrieved by the board's
decision may appeal such decision to the superior court by filing a writ of certiorari,
prohibition or mandamus pursuant to RCW 7.16 et seq. within twenty days of the date the
decision by the board was mailed to the appellant.
(k) The decision by the licensing administrator, hearing examiner or the board to deny the
renewal of a license, upholding the denial of a license, suspending or revoking a license,
or upholding the suspension or renewal of a license must be stayed during the pendency
of an appeal pursuant to RCW 7.16 et seq., except as provided in subsection (d) of

2003 BUDGET OVERVIEW
INTERIM BUDGET: The City Council of a newly incorporated city must adopt an interim budget for the interval timeframe as
required by RCW 35.02.132. This interval period is defined as that period from the date the newly elected officials receive their oath
of office to the selected date of incorporation. For the City of Spokane Valley this is the period of November 20, 2002 to March 31,
2003. This document contains the City of Spokane Valley's interim budget for January 1, 2003 to March 31, 2003.
BUDGET PROCESS: The interim council of a new city must adopt an interim budget for the interim period. if the interim period
extends into a new calendar year, it must adopt a second interim budget; the first would extend from the beginning of the interim
period to January 1 and the second would extend from January 1 to the official incorporation date. RCW 35.02.132. The only statutory
guidance with respect to creation of the interim budget or budgets is as follows: "These interim budgets shall be adopted in
consultation with the state auditor." Id. There are no state auditor guidelines for development of the interim budget. The interim
council should contact the state auditor's office soon after taking office in order to develop an interim budget in a timely matter.'
ADOPTON OF THE INTERIM BUDGET: Prior to adoption the City Council may make any adjustments and/or changes to the
proposed interim budget as deemed necessary. The Council would then adopt the final interim budget by ordinance to become
et'ective upon passage. Revision of the adopted interim budget can only be accomplished by the ordinance process.

The 2003 budget defines the level 'of set -up seivice'developecl for the period from January 1 through March 31, 2003 based upon the
incorporation feasibility study, as well as policy direction we have received from the Council_ Our goal with the interim budget document
is to present the information in. a user-friendly format, one that can explain the di flferent funds and cost centers.
The majority of the money required to operate the City in this initial stage wines from borrowing we will not begin to recei ve revenues

$50,000 loan ITom the City of Liberty Lake. Also, the City Council authorized borrowing up to $1,000,000 in a line of credit from
Farmers & NMerclxants Bank_
Many of the services we will provide will be through contracts with Spokane County. These contracts, many of which will expire in
December 2004, are non - exclusive so that we may analyze our needs more closely and perhaps explore other vendor sources that could
provide services_
Land use and building permit services will be done by the City after incorporation. The 2003 interim budget includes hiring staff and
consultants to accept and review permits_ We believe the quantity of building permit activity in Spokane Valley is sufficient to require
hiring staff for building peanut purposes. Code enforcement is.an issue that is being 'negotiated with Spokane County. "here are fluids in
the omnnunity Development cost center to begin a community- generated comprehensive plan process,
ASSUMPTI.ON.S: The Spokane Valley incorporation study, elated July 10, 2001 and updated ins .December 2001, was prepared by a
