Councilmember Gothmann, who was absent from that 7-8-08 meeting, noticed upon his return from vacation that the minutes mentioned that Dick Behm gave a brief history of the Argonne Mullan Corridor and mentioned that Spokane County had promised it would not go more than a °half mile deep in 4hat area." Councilmember Gothmann asked if the text should have stated a "half block° rather than a"half mile," and upon listening to the tape of that meeting, the reference ~ should indeed be a"half block" rather than a°half mile." BACKGROUND: According to Roberts Rules of Order, if it becomes necessary to correct minutes after they have initially been approved, such correction can be made by means of a motion to Amend Something Previously Adopted. In this event, since the motion to Amend Something Previously Adopted is a main motion, the exact wording of that motion should be entered in the minutes of the meeting at which it was considered, and in that regard, this will be noted in the minutes of the July 22, 2008 meeting.

Vote by Acclamniinn: In Favor.• Ufaanimous. Dpposed• _Norre. Absterttions: _None. Motion carried. Mr. Mercier said in relation Co this Copic, prior to tonight, this sort of grant was directed Co the SherifPs Office which was responsible for the related accountina which was credited to the Sheriff's Office, so Council has not had a previous rale in accepting these kinds of grants; that there will be a series of these grant coming forward, often coming to stiiff with a required short turn-around time; and he asked about Council's willingness to have a delegation oF autharity to aecept these grants over time. Mayor Mtmson said he wanLs to tnake sure the publie knows that Council is supporling these efforts, while at the same time would be wiUing to work out a way to eYpedile approval. Mr. Mereier said that staff car► compose a list of emphasis grants cve think may be available fnr presentation to Council for prior approval, and then if the funds come, we could move espeditiously to capture them. Chief VanLeuven mentioned dhe type of project ~vould be similar to thc recently implemented nighttime seal belt enforcement campaign. $n.uty Session Meetiijg Minutes: 07-01-48 F'age 1 of 10 Approvc:d by Council: DRA1='I ~ 2 Motion Consideration: Accept the ICMKA Assessment nf Law Fnforcement Services Pronosal - Dave Mcrcier It was nioved by Cauncilmember Tcrylor and seconded to accept t3re propuscrl fbr the .Assessnrent of Law Erfarcement Services presented by ICiVi1 (Irtterrlatinnal Ciry/Caunty 1Vfunagemerrt AssociatiunJ, and uuthnrize t4Je City Munager to firruliLe and execcite a conlcret for .stsch services. Ciey Manager Mercier then gave his Powerl'oint presentation nf the proposed "Proactive Fvaluatiorl of Law Enforcement Services for the Citirens of Spokane Valley," which inc;lucied a slide of "Practicing what We Prcach;" to which Mr. Mercier addecl that the ParF:s ancl Recrcation MasterPlan would be included in that list as well. Mr. Mercier's slides included a copy of the ICUTA f'roposal dated May 27, 2008, deseribing the nurpose and scope as: •"'rhe Primary objective of this assessment is to present to the City an unbiasecl revicw of the positive iincl negative ramifications of eenewing its conCraet with the SMeriff's Department versus establishing an independent police department. • ln both cases, the City wishes to have in place processes and procedures to measure service performancc. • Establish currcnt levels of performance and workload; introcluee routine perfannance measurements and identiPy opportunities for improved pcrformance. • Determine the apnropriate staffing levels within the city's fiscal constraints and the city's policies regarding levels of public safety service." Mr. vlercier said that an assessment is not a new idea, that we have had a series of discussions on this subjec:t since the day of incorporation to apply this practice to law enforcement the same as we did to other services, that law enforcemenC is the highest factor of the City's budgct, and that the $126;500 cost for conducting this a.ssessment is 1% of that department's budget; and dhat he is not aware af any . gencrally accepted government accounting that would except from review, this largesl and most important part of public service. Councilmember Gothmann asked if this is the only case where we examine the insicle of a contract; to which Mr. Mereier replied the JLJB Strcct Master 1'larming c1ocument as well a..s the Parks and Rec MasterPlan are two eaamples of reviewing this Cype of complex issue; but Mr. Gothma.n.n fuRher erplained that we don't have a contractor relationship with those and asked if this is the only contractor we ask about their hiring practices? Mr. Mercier respancled lhflt of the setvice providers for the City, wc havc not perf'onvecl this kinci of assessment usina outside folks to look at all operational dimensions, but what we have done often is go tv private sectors to solicit zlternate proviciers to rcduce cost and increzse the Funount of material they can produce for this Cit?; that the isstie at present is clearly comrlex wid sensit,ivc, and as we ]ook Io undertake a study of this naturc, we have to be practical and recogmize the emotional aspect connected to t.hese kinds of services; that we want t:o increa,.se public confidence in the study and to assure there is no baggage on lhosc conducting the study; anc1 that it is routine f'or government units to go to a thirci party to make these types of assessments. M.r. 'Mercier said the police departmeot is different as it is the highest amount of investment and represetits Council's top priority; that in order for the assessment to crcate performance measures, it is important to look at a variety of areas of critical functions in order to get the llolistic view; that this is not something to do an the quick and narrow but from a wicle spectrum view of the clepartment. Mr. Mercier mentioned that as an example, government entities are required Yo validatc prevailing wages being paid by inclepenclent contractors doing work for the City, and we have to examine payrolls and veriFy lhey are complying with the law. Councilmember Taylor aske_d Mr. vlercier about Morgail Koudelka's role in evaluati.no eontracts, and what peroentage of the sherifPs office budget is our contract. Iv1r. Mercier explained that Mr. Koudelka's role is our inCernal management analyst; [hat we ask him to examine the elements of a variety ofcontracts oP service providers, and that he is skilled at that analysis and each year, nur eighteen coLml'y contraets i' Suitty Sessiun Meeting Minutcr. 07-01-08 f'age 2 of 10 Approved b}' Council: DRAFT ~ J cnmc up for sE;ttle and adjust and he reviews the data; and Chat the work of the Spokanc Valley represents abnut 43% of the overall costs of pperatint the Sheriff's Office; and Mr. Mercier agreed with M.r. Taylar's a..ssessment that any change in costs, such as changes in collective bargaining, of wliich we have no control, will have an impact on our costs; and he said that Mr. Koudclka works closely with members of tiie Sheriffi's 4ffice finance team as whatever settlement comes about, the City will pay its share of costs. Councilmc►nber Gothmann quoted sevcral parts from the contract we have with the Sherif=Ps officc, ineluding portions that detail the cluties of the sheriff's office and portions that detail tlie duties of the City; and said that there is nothi►ig in that contract mentioning the involvement of a consultant; and said he fails to unclerstand what a consultant wnulcl do, as examining costs is up to the purview of the Sheriff's Qffice. Mr. Mercier again went over the dual scope of the proposal as it calls on the sheriff's office to identify all costs associated with positions being used to provide serviee in the Valle}; and in ordcr to itemize the c•ost of establishina an independcnt police clcpartment, they would identify the cosrs to date of officers' service in the tmit. Councilmember Gothrnann countered that it is the Sheriff office which sets the standards. Mr. Mercier replicd that we would be asking the consultant to help us by making suggestinns on what wquld be reasonable amendmenis to the contract, that their First tasks would be to identify arid dncume.nt what exists-not to go in and re-order everything; ancl to compare its findings with gcnerally accepted performanee measures to sce if there are ajry opportunities for improvement; stressing that the consultants have no authority tio go in and re-direct the managenient nf the Sheriirs office; the cotisaltants would assess, identify, and document what is occurring. Councilmember Dcmpssy asked about the premise of this as Council receives monthly data from the Pplice Depart.ment alreacly, and queslioned why pay for /his service if we alreacl}' have it. NIr. Mercier explained that the policing operating research is a methodolop being used nationwide to examine raw data of crime statistics and ~ pass them through ne,%;~ models that are being used to help understand the nature of the crime ancl identify strategies for dealing with it; that maybe their data is 100% correct and every interpretation is 100% correek, but he doubted that is the casc aS data can be interpreted in many ways; and a thorough examination will not ignore existin~ data, but such mi~ht even prove to be a terrife validation. Couneilrnember Taylor mentioned that it appcars many of these questions are geared toward Mr. Mereier as to why we are doing this assessment, as if it wa..s his idea; and he reminded cveryone that thc idea to have an assessment Nvas forged at the January rctreat, and that Mr. vlercier was not at that meeting, and at that meeting, there was council consensus to rnove forward and look at an opportimity to move towarct an assessment of the concract and tn look for are_as of improvement, and tp have the information at hand so if we ever do need to resort to an alternate, we .vould be prepared; but that w3s never the primary objective to have an lssessment; and that it would be good for the public to see what value of services are we receiving from the Sheriff's office. Councilmembcr Taylor posed the question of how can we improve without an assess►nent; and said that we are not at the point of forming our qw-n department; but requestcd that staff bring forxvard a prop9sal and that is what Mr. Vlercier did and he thanked Mr. Mercier for following through on council's direetive. Coimcilmcmber Gothmann said he disaaneed «<ith the prelext of Councilmember Taylor's interpretatinn eoncerning the January retreat and the purpose of the assessment. Councilrnember Schimmels said that regarding the sheet handed aut at the retreat June 14, he took e:cception to thal bccause nf the goals IisCed; but there it is in blacl: and whitc, that is part of the aim of this study; that he initially thought that wc would compile a laundry list of the benefits and duties of our department and at least get somethinc, on commnn g'ound for some dialogue; but said that here we are gctting a reaetion; and chat it is nnt f3ir to the public or the Sheriff's Office or members of SCO!'E, and that perhaps we could have such a cost down the road, but that it is not the first step. 1 ~ J Mayor Vlunson asked if we will share this infortnation with the Sheriff's Office, and Mr. Meroier replied that the assessment can onty be made in close interaction with mcmbers of the Police Iaepar[ment and that Study Scssion Meeting Minutes: 07-01-08 Pfage 3 of 10 Approved by Council: llRAFT Leonard vlatarese met widi Doua Silver who is the cusCodian of stntistics for the Shcriff's office a5 the assessmctit would rely on the raNv data coming from diat sourcc to pump into dheir models; that such ' assessinent must have those interactions: data first, decision later. Vlayor Munson acided that sinee our relationship with the Sheriff's Office is based on a eontract, afl;er fve years both sides fotmd Ihirigs we like to discuss more, and knowing whcre Nve are starting from, would provide both parties with a baseline that does not now exist, and added that this study is not trying to prediet any outcome. Mr. Mercier said that the desired outcome is for gathering reliable data that will enable council to structure long term strategic planning in the community. I'U}3LTC CONBIENT: Mayor iMunson a.sked that in the interest of time, citizens not repcat what others have previously stated, that commcnts will bc limited to tfiree minutc.s each, thdt he asked that the comments be civil, and it was delermined thal Council would first a..sk those tn speak who have not commented at the last meeting. Prior to taJcing the first comment, Mayor Ivlunson asked City Clerk Bainbridge to read the statement receivecf fmm the Pollards. iames ancl Mary 1?nllard Julv 1. 2008 e-mail Nvas read int:o the record: in summary, that E-mail, directed to Mayor and Council and with a clnsinc, fr4m Mary Pollard of the North Greenacres Neighborhaod askecl Council lo support the current efi'orts of the police deprsrtmcnt and respeet the checks and balances by having Sheriff Knczovich nversee the vtillcy police; that they are pleased with the help received in 2006, and said that Mr. Mercier's.job should not include any purview of the police beyond fiscal malters since he is not an elected official. Scott Lanes North 20 Ravmoncl Raad , Sookane Vallev: said that the contraet to liave a policc departmenC started five years ago with Sheriff Sterk; a»d thai this is not Ozzie's contract; bul since Uzzie, the ' services, attitude and respect of the comrnunity toward the police havc been shown to be an asset; that hc hasn't hearcl council pass a resolution to do Applewa_y, or do the City Center; and that there has bcen nq action on them, ancl most busincss people want to E:now what is going on; that Ozzie has done more for police enforcement; and whe.n Sterk was sheriff, lv1r. I.anes said he was a sworn enem}' of every cop who came ta his business, but such is not the case now. Jenie Willardson 12722 East 223`d Avenue: said she has workecl for consulting firms and F:nows about consul[ing, and there are no reasons for this as we already have one of the safest cities in the state at the lowest cost; and that the Sheriff ha.s great citizen support; she voiced concern of why we are nnly looking at one consulting firm; thal she is not against the idea of looking at the Sheriffls Offce, a..s it would be a good iclea to have a baselinE study and fnd Ollt aboul the s}°stem as I.here is always room for improvement; but it seems to be the ictca of rather I.hen improvi.ng our services we havc, the underlinino idea is to have our owii Police Dcpartment, and she also voicecl concem with using consultants frorn areas outside our own state. Garth Vderner, 11415 F,ast 17ffi Ave: said he spoke last week about our tough economy, said this is a mess; that the Sheriff's Office is cloing a great job; dhat we nced to look aC the big picture; but estimated that co build a new police departrnent would cost bettiveen $2 and $3 millioii, then we would have to have a contract for a jail as well and that that is ridicLilous; and everybody he knows is proud of the support the Sheri{fs Off ce gives us now. Falrick Martin, E 6606 7~' Avc: said he is president of Eclgeclift SCOPE, and that he is blessed to work with dedicated volunteers who work hand in hand with mcmbers of the Sheriff's Office; and that he is impressed by the amount of caring and concern he sees from the deputies dail?; that they risk lheir lives for the citizens; and when his neighborhood was having problems, they took an active role to eradiate crime from their neighbnrhood; that he understands the need to make educated decisians Nvhen dealing Study Session Mccting Ntiiiutes: 07-01-08 Page 4 af 10 Approved by Cotmcil' ' DRAFT with tax dollars; and parl of h i m thinks thi5 is moot as we Iiave $ sheriff's office who is regulated by the sial.e i-vho aokively seeks #he best palicies and pracedures as they want aL] theu members Ua come h ome alive.

Deputy Mayor Denenny mentionect the January meeting minutes whereby it mentions he said he wanted to laAk fpr our own department; but wanted to clarify lhal we are contracting for our services, aod his intent was to esplain thal the only aleernative to that is our own department; lhat the options are to improve conteacts or examine the costs of operating our own department; that they must esamine the options to determine what is best; and if someonc were to ask him how that department is doing, he wnuld have to Say he has no idea; that the Transition Committee suggested a 90-day eancellation clause to the negotiation changes or starting our own deparmlent, so this is nol a ncw nroblem; that he would e:cpect lhere will be areas for improvcment, bul wc need the data to make a proper decision, anci does not want the community to think dhis is a foregone conclusion, as that was not the intent. Councilmember Dempsey saici that as the wife of a former career military man they have lived in different areas and learned that humans have different thoughts and reactions; that the January retreaC was only her second or third meeting; but her recollection was that they decided to establish guidelines and objectives for the Ynlice DeparCment; and she quescioned how this grew into a $130,000 assessment done by people who don't know the western ways and don't live in this arca; and she said shc can't support this. Councilmember Gothmann said that ivlr. "1"aylor's impression of what oceurreci at the January retreat is at variance with h.is impression; and that his impression is solidified in the minutes; and he read a portion of those minutes from the top of page six whcrein it discussed Councilmcmber Wilhite's suggestion of puttina this lopic on the a;enda for June to examine how in-depth Council may want to have tllis as a 2009 goal; and further quoting frnm those meeting rnintltes; chaC "There wcrs eventuul consensirs to pirt this as an t.rpconzing study sessiun agendcr item, and rhar Police Chief Vanl,.euven und Mr. A%Jercier coirld give Coarncrl u list of tivhat Co:incil has corrtrol over, nnd of stiggested areas or gaals for Ima, eyiforcement to uchieve, and that diis is separate from the contractual based issues which will come back laler." Councilmember Gothmann 5tated that we need to define what services we want from the Sheriff's Office, the levels of service, the cost, but that it would be wronn to no inCO the sherift's offee and ask how they hire and assign ancl about their operational control; he said that it%4r. iMercier's studies were in-house studies; and the slieriffls office can da that; tha[ beeausc there was a concern about goals, on Ja.nuary 12 he (Mr. Gothmann) made a list of sugge•sted goals, and included a paragraph that says: "The above analysis suggests that we need to determine the communiCy's neecis for eaeh of the law enforcement fiinctions; define objectives for each of these funclipns, cietermine performance mea.5urements, t:hen measure each and compare against a defined level. Continuin ; yuoting from those minutes, Mr. Gothmanii read that he went on to say "I believe that Shoreline's budget provides an excellent place to start." v1r. Gothmann said he was surprised when 1CMA didn't do f►ny of that; didn't talk about goals for cities; but only about operational goals for the sheriff's caffice. Councilmernbee Gothrnann said that at the June retreat he made up some gnals; and he distributecl copies of "Spokane VaIley I'olice lndicators" which shows cost~S per capital for police services, and crimes per 1000 in 2007. ]n discussing sections of the contract with the Sheriff's Office, Councilmember Gotlimann said that concerning Section 14, it is likely that the City of Spokane Vtilley is in violation of that contract; that he fcels this is an anti-way at doing business; he's against the proposal; and he said that he publicly suggests that the Sheriff refuse to dn the assessment, as it hurts his office, in that it interferes with his operation; it also sets aprecedent that VIr. C7othmann thinks is a bad precedent. Councilmember Gothmann stated that the sheriff hires and fires; the sheriff is in charge oF opertitions, the sheriff cletermines cost, and we need to fulfill our own obligations, and set our owii -oals bcfore we start intivding in the sheriff's, and Councilrriember Gothmann said t.hat he Nvrould "ask that the Sheriff just flat out refuse to, refuse to do it" and saicl that if we wa.nt numbers from him, he'll be happy to, hut as tar as submitting to this assessment, Councilmember Gothmann saicl hc thinl:s it's wrong. ~ Councilmember Wilhite said that like the Street MasterPlan and the CiCy Center, it takes t:ime to do a ~ study to see whaC a project entails in ordcr to hawc the best plan to spend the taxpayer's mone}; that she Study Scssion N4ecting N4inutes: 07-0I-08 Page 6 of lU Approvcd by Council: DRAFT believes we need to look at the police departme_nt and the services we get, and laok at what it is we want Co provide for the citizens regarding public safety; t6at the vision Ozzie has as an clected official is the vision for Spokane Counly; that he was elected to do fuid does do a good job; but the vision for Spokane Va.lley is something Council should be looking for; and that it may or may not coineidc with what is hanpening with the County; thal this is a very large part of our budget, ancl Council needs to eaamine the study, and she suggests revicwing the scope of the proposal ancl revising what has been prescnted to us regarding what Council wants Co look at; and that Council needs ftirther discussion on what we want to have in conjunction with policing; that it has been said that eleeled offcials are suppnsed to Icad; and she feels she has i'ailed because when we look to see .vho's following, she secs a big void; so she said she feels the need to go back to the drawing table, then come fonvF►rd again with olher sugeestions; and for this pari;icular proposal, she will vote no. Mayor Vlunson said that this is not a populariCy contest, but is a serious matter of providing services to the ciry and of financial services; that it is not a comment on officer performance as our officers are doino a wonderful job; but we neecl to have alternatives as alteniatives are the strength of negntiat:ions; a.nd added that Council has an obligation to mrske sure the largest budget atid most important priority is being undertaken in the most efficient man.ner possible, and if we don't do that, we fail in our duty; he stated this has nothing ta cto with Ozzie; khat we have tn examine sustainable fundina as prices are going un faster than incomes. Mayor vlunson said one has to ask who is best suited ta aceomplish an objec:tive study of our services; the department has its own agendas; and our staff' doesn't have the experts to do that; and that we want someone witM aproven record of providing this type of study; that the police departrnent could be compared wilh a combat unit which needs training, motivation, and assessmenl; that he spent 28 years in the air force and his unit was assessed annually for operational readiness; and he cloesn't see the policc department as being any different; and mentionect that we have not done that yet ~ and said we would be remiss in council duties to not provide that assessmciit. City Manager Vlercier said that it is neither unusual nr unsavory for a public carporation to undertake these kind of assessments; ancl there is a differenoc bet,,veen pea.king into the files of a privdte company and looking at records of a public entiry; and aside from confidential information, everything public agencies cio arc open for public examination; and mentioned that he understands Spokane County wants to take a holistic ldok at corrections and that they investecl funds to conduct such a study.

Mr. Mercier said that the 2008 goals dicl not get substantial revisions at the retreat, but chat goal 97 was reworded to reflect the need to perform an inventory analysis. Councilmember Taylor asked about goal #6 and Mr. Mercier rcplied thal we would need to wait for the Board of County Commissianers ro assign the UGAs to us. Mr. Mercier asked if these 2008 gnals reflect the current ancl best thinking, and Council indicated there were no furlher questions or objections. Concerning 2009 proposed goals, Mr. Mercier Study Session Meeting A4inutes: 07-01-03 Page 7 of 10 Approved by Council: DRArT mentioned goal #5, which states "Evaluatc the availability, costs and effects of private sector vcndors ~performing winter road maintcnance for the City" and saicl that this would represent nn alternate analysis ~ for our winter road services. Councilmember Gothmann suggested adding the word `=goalsj' to 43 so that it would state, "Identify perforrnance goals and perf'ormdnce measures for the Police Department and monitor progress in their attainmenY" aild he asked what was the difference between goal #3 ancl 45; and Vie. Mercier pointed out that goal #3 is for police dep•artment, and goal 4*5 is For street services. Mayor Munson asked about developing various performance audits, and to try to determine how tn go about that; and Councilmember "1"aylor responded that is reflecced in goal #5. Mr. Mercier also mentioned that if we want a realistic looh at the environment, he suggests if we have goals articulated for tSie police department to meet council's vision for policing, that such goals need to be articulated by council; that the contract was written five or six years ago, and we cadt take fuiy of it to the bank as Spokane County had never contracted any si.zeable contract with any organization prior to that coiitract; ancl trying to literalize that contract five years later just doesn't work. Councilmember Gothmann said wt need to specify what are our goals and level of services for each depFU-tment and for the police department, as we neECi to specify what services to get from each cant:ractor and we can identify all Chose; but Councilmember Taylor responded that we can't get those without having the information at hand tn detennine what level of service we need and the cost nf that and what we can aff'ord beyond «<hat eve are currently getting now; as the current contract doesn't allow us to get into that and we don't have the data to go into those negotiations; but coulcl have but the prior vote was in [he negative; and we are thus defeating the purpflse by wanting to have a handle on where our law enforcement scrvices are being provided as our hancls are tied behind our back and have been for t:he last five years. Councilmember Gothinann said the contract says the police chief will work with t.he city manager and he just asked tlle police chief if he would dn that and lle said yes, so the point is we havc it. 1'here was no objection to the proposed 2009 goals as presented, and 1vCr. Mercier said that the aoal for 2010 is mostly a holding statement for now vid the 2009 and 2010 goals will be e:camined further later this year. , 4 '1'elephone Utilitv Tax Options - Kcn Thomason Fioance Direetor 'I"hompson mentioned that we have knowm for a number of years that at some point Nve tivould come upon fitiancial difficulties in the street fund; ijnd if he were to sum up the problem he would say that revenues are coming in at about $2 million with expenses at abouC $4 rnillion; that we neecl to look al what we nced to c1o to add another four million, as we are now approaching a time wherc w•e will run out of funds in that steeet fund; that originally we ihought it would be in 2009; and said that the current plan might give us another year or so, but Nve need to keep in mind there is approYimately 81/o annual inflation giving a deficit of $2.1 million + each year; and that the sources %vith the most potential for assistsnce are telephone utiliky tax; solid waste strect wear, and the transportation bene6t district; and said that a 6% phone utility taa: would generate $3 million and said both Spokane and Cheney have a 6% tax on telephone service; and Ivir. 7'hompson added that eventually we will likel_y need the utiliCy tax, street wear agreement and maybe evcn the TRn, and thal staff is looi:ing for direction in implementine a phone uiiliry tax. There was some discussion of loans frdm the general fund versus a trAnsfer oF funds; and Mr. Mercier said that Council has soine latitude, in that the general fund can subsidize any enterprise fund but not thc reverse; and that they are trying to rernain consistent with the theme that all fiinds are stand alone funds ancl we dnn't want to rob Peter lo pay I'aul as all diat does is create greater insolvency across the board. It was deterniined Co bring forth a 6% telephone utility tax ordinance for a firsl reading at the July 22 Council meeting, 5 Solid Waste Options - Ken Thompson/Ca.rv Dris4:e11 ivlr. Driskell mentioned that staff has arranged a meeting with Waste Management next Wedncsday to discuss tlie points of negotiatinn listed on the July 1 Request for Council Action report. Counailmember Gothmann su;gested adding senior rates as well. It was tnentioned that fi►rther updates will come before Council as the information is received. Swdy Session Mceting Minutes: 07-01-08 Page $ of 10 Apprc)ved by Cotineil: DftAFT ~ 6 Fire Department lnterlocal Apreement - Mike Connellv City Attorney Connelly said he has supplied Couneil with a copy nf the Spokane Counl'y Agreement for fire services, the e.cisting agreement, the proposed a&Teement, and a sample agreement from Fecleral Way, Washington; that subsequent to the adoption of the current agreement, the parties recognized that a number of services performed by botli the f re district and the City are not clearly delineated in the agreemciit; and changes have been made to reflect what actually is done by each entity. Afier brief Council cliscussion it was nAted t.hat this agreement is scheduled for a motion consideration at the July & meeting. 7 l,ighting Standards - Kathv M.cClunp, As the "Request far Council Action" form reilects, Cammunity Development Director McClun? explained t.hat diere are three ways to handle code amendments: (1) citizen or business owner request via application F►nd fee; (2) staff recommendation as they work to include amendments as a"bacch" and (3) b y council clirection, such as the airport overla}' zone. Ms. McClung said that Council previously received a citizen request to add restrictions for lighting in single-family neighbnncoods; an d t hat we ean procee d as the options indicate, and that she recommends putting khis request in for the next batch, which %vAUld not go before the Planning CQmmission prior to 2009. In respnnse to Council question concerning time commitments for this request, v1s. VlcGung said th.is would li.kely take a month af research as it is more of an issuc of what is ahead of it; tihat staff normally Nvrould not work this r►s a single issue but put it in with others; and much like the airport overlly issue, this «rould go to the 1'lanning Commission in Scptember, then to council later in the fall; ancl said this can go with the current batch or the next, with the next batch getting to thc Pianning Commission probably the first part c2f 2009. Ms. McClung also said staff coulcl research how extcnsive chis problem is in the City, as this is the only complaint staff has receivcd, adding that t.hat doesn't mean it is not an issue. Councilmember Taylor said that this appears to ~ be a siViificant hole in the Code as there is not.hing prohibiting people from putting a commercial pole in their baek yard, and Ms. McClung coneurred with that assessment. Councilmember Taylor sAid he prefers addressing this problem this year; to which Mayor Munson added that perhaps others have this issue but don't want to complain against their neighbors. "1"here was Council consensus to plaee this issue with the present batch. Ln response to Deputy Mayor Denc»ny's question about vesting, City Ariorney Connelly said a reasonable vesting period ranges from six months to a couple years; that once an ordinance becomes effective regarding residential lightinD, the narrnal time would be to provide six months to a year for those with nonconforming lights to adhere co t}le new regulations. 11 was irauved hy Councibnember 7"aylor, secondetl and urrcnrinrotrsly ugreed to extend the meetrng to 9:15 p. nl. 8 13arker Road Bridge Artwork - Steve VJorlev Publie Works Director Kersten, standing in for Engineer Worlcy, explained that last November Council selected and approved conceptual arrivork in an amount not to exceed $74,000; but at the June 3, 2008 meetino, Council awarcled the bridge construction contract to Morgan and OsNvoncl, and was i.nformed that the artwork would esceed that $74,000; and at that time; Council determined to proceed with the entire bid award as stated but to impose a 90-day window for Council tn re-visit the art issue and discuss whether to remove C1; C2, andlor C3 within the nest ninety clays. After Council discussion on what artwork aspects to keep, if any, there was Council consensus to keep C1 in an amount not to excecd $28,000, and such motion should be placed on the next Council's consent agenda. 9 Spokane Rerional Solid Waste Audit -Nleil Kersten Public Works Direclor Kersten explained dlat an oversight committee cAmprised of elected officials was formed for the Spokane Regional Solid VI'aste System Performance and Financial Audit; and tbat committee is a sub-sct of the Liaison Board with four members representing each of the va.rious jurisdictions; and that a selection committee will be fortned comprised of staff inembers appointed by Study Session Mecting Minutcs: 07-01-08 Pfige 9 of 10 Anproved vy Council: DItAI"T each of the four jurisdictions, and that the selection committee will ultimately recommend the most ~qualified firni to the Director ofthe Spokane Regional Solid Waste System; and that he recommends that Council appoint the Public Works Director to the selection committee.

PTJI3LIC COMMENTS: Mayor Munson invited general public comment; no general public eomments were offered. City Manager Mercier a..sked for and was allowed a point of privilege to speal:; and delivered the following eomments: "A city manager's livelihooct aiid professional success is based on their reputatioii for Competence, credibility and, most importantly; their integrity. Last week I made a presentation before the City Council on a proposed assessment of law enforcement services and following mV 1'owerpoint display of information a member of the audience claimed thaC I had lied iind misrepresentecl iiiformation presented tn [he public. However, recalling a portion of my presentation to the display screens in the Council Chambers stiawed there was no 1'alsehood in my presentation. At the time the charges were rnade against me, the Council Chambers were fiill oFpeople: some regular attendce.s, some who had come to their very first city council meeting, many community volunteers, members of the media, city employees, Sheriff Deputies who wrork in Spokane Valley and the County's rop elected law enforcement officer, among others who had busincss before the Council lhat cvening. I believe that such false statements spoken in a highly public setting have the effect of undermining positive perccptions in the minds of c-ammunity members about how trustworthy and honest their c+ty manager is when conductinb city business. And, such false allegations compromise a mana5cr's ability to effectively pursuc the best interests of the city when interaeling or negotiating with other parties. In this country, it is a generally held belief that public c.onfidence in government officials is bath a precious and a perishable commodity-it takes years to build, but just moments [to] shattee. As a public. official, it is appropriate that I be held to account for my actions in office, but it is not appropriate to have my character slanderously defa.med with reckless disregard for the tiruth, or fran.kly, any other city employee's. While this episnde is unsavory,l hope that it will spark a realization lhat it is time for community mcrnbers to return to civil discourse on public policy maters-once the hallmark of civic interaction at Spokane Valley City Council meetings. ThaYs all for now Mr. Mayor. Thank you for allowing me to spea►c." 1. CONSE iYT AGEn`DA: Consists of items considered routine which are approved as a group.

ADiNIMISTRATIVE RFPQRTS: 4 Charitable Donations in the Right-of-way - Carv lariskell Ueputy City Attorney Driskell mentioned that when this was last discussed, therc was a presentalion from some firefighters frorn the Spokane Valley Fire District and from the Muscular llyslrophy Association - who Nresentetl some materials from other citics regarding issucs ta consider concerning the "Fill the Boot" campaign, and whether it should be allowed to continue as it has in the past; and that Council directed staff tn give consideralion to the `lacoma provisions, whicn the proponents nf the Fill the Boot showed as an exampte of an exception to lhe prohibition of solicitino funds form thc right-of-way. M.r. Driskell explained that he contacted an attoniey for Tacoma who was involvecl iii drafting the provisions, who advised thiil Tacoma did not specifically eYempt Pill the Boot, and mentioned that the eopy we had of "1'acoma's pmvisions was merely a clraft. Mr. Driskell further explainecl thaC the Tacoma council electecl to adopt a special permits events process, whicn is administered from t:heir Ciry Clerk's office, and that he [V1r. Tariskell] has asked foe but not reeeived a copy of the permit. Mr. Driskell also mcrrtioned that the last attomey he spoke with saicl if we were considering copying their provisions, that he would recommend changes prior to adoption, however, he dicln't elaborate, but v1r. Ariskell speculated tihat an appeal process mioht be soiuething to include. Further discussinn included mention f.rom Councilmember Taylor diat he appreciatcs }:nowing that the previously referenced `I acoma ordinance was not their final document, and dhat he lil:es the idea of a speeial event permit, as well as acldino some qualifying criteria, such as the applicants having had trafflic safety tr3inino. vlr. L7riskell said that our i.nsurance pro<<ider will likely give him input on this topic, as he assumes they must have addressed this with other jurisdictions. In respnnse lo Mayor Munson's yuestion of the Tacoma documcnt's mention of aUowing participants in the right-of-way; Mr. iariskell said the attorney in Taeoma mentionecf a restriction to the two sidewalk lanes and not allowing people in the center island. Mr. Mercicr brought attention to the Tacoma Municipal Code 11.15.100 concerning Conditioiis Affecting the issuance of a speaial event permit, ancl suggested Couneil may want to consider any of those mentioned. M.r. Driskell also retninded everyone that if we were to have legislation that only permits one entity to eonduct such fundraising, someone may see fit to challenge that kind of leeislatinn. Criteria for Mr. Uriskell to consider including in a draft nrclinance for next week included Mayor - l Nlunson's preference of not allowing such aelivity at intersections wherc tbe intersections are at or near failure; includc some type of training requirement; li.mit the participant's age to 18 or above; resCrict the Council Regular Meeting: 07-08-08 Page 3 of 4 Approved Uy Council: DRAFT number oP timcs a year to hold such events; and the ability to resvict location or roads based on such things as unsafe physiail conditions. Due to the quick hirn-around neecled for tt►is ordinancc to meet the ' August 2 event, it was determined that staff will bring a draft ordinanee at khc ncYt mccting, and Council - l can decide whal to cnact or change fi-om that draEi. Taeputy Mayor Deneiiny mentioned diat if we have a permitting process with numerous critcria it might be so restrictive that only a few would apply, adding his concern of if we allow one group, we must allow all groups, while also acknowledging the desire to have code provisions for that special pracess, but with limited resuictions. 5. Pronosed Code Compliance Changes - Cary DriskelUMM Kate i~'Iartin I7eputy City t1l'torney Driskell explained that in an cfi'ort to fix things that dari't work as intended, or mahe the Code work better in its application to real life situations and remove unnecesstry provisions, and based on public comment, staff constantly reviews our Code provisions, and that the attached propnsed changes in SVMC 17 and 7.05 reflect chose efforts. After M.r. Driskell hiahlig-hted some of those cha.nges; the questinn arose concerning not having an appeal fee as our fees are generally based on cost recovery, but iV1r.

There have been discussions between council and staff regarding the projected deficit in the Street Fund and what could be done to balance the budget. BACKGROUND: During 2004, a projected deficit in the street fund was identified beginning about 2009. ~ The problem exists because revenue will be around $2.1 million (gas tax) each year and expenses will be around $5 million plus an estimated 8% inflationary increase each year. The Finance Committee has reviewed the implications of reducing the Street Fund budget to $2.1 million (to match expected revenue) with corresponding reductions in snow plowing, street lighting, de-icing and pothole patching. However, the consequences of these reductions were considered to be unacceptable. A 6% telephone utility tax is estimated to generate between $3 and $4 million each year. OPTIONS: 1.) Conduct the first reading of the ordinance and schedule the second reading for August 12; 2.) Direct staff to reduce street fund expenditures to $2.1 million each year; 3.) Consider a tax in an amount less than 6%, recognizing the tax would need to be increased within a year or two. RECOMMENOED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to advance Ordinance 08-018 implementing a 6% telephone utility tax to a second reading. BUDGETIFINANCIAL IMPACTS: With a 6% telephone utility tax, staff estimates the deficit in the Street Fund could be postponed until 2014. ~ STAFF CONTACT: Ken Thompson, Finance Director ATTACHMENTS: Draft proposed ordinance 08-018, Powerpoint Presentation DRAFT ~ Cl'1'Y OF SPOKANE VALLF:Y SPOKA!``E COUNTY, WASIUN(7T0\` 012DT1qANCE \°O. 08-018 AN C7RllINA.i7CE OF THE C.T.TY OF SI'OKANE VAT..LEY, SYOKANF.

A public hearing was held on July 22 to review 2009 projected revenues, including the property tax levy. Public hearings will be held in September and October to discuss the 2009 proposed budget which includes proposed property taxes. ~ BACKGROUND: State law requires the City to pass an ordinance in order to levy property taxes. The City is limited to a maximum of $3.60 per thousand dollars of assessed value, less the highest levy rate authorized by a fire district within the city limits of the City of Spokane Valley and less the library rate within the City of Spokane Valley. The City considered levying $1.60 per thousand dollars of assessed value which is the amount authorized under state law for municipal purposes. A review of City budget needs and the increase in assessed value now indicates the City levy will be closer to $1.53/per thousand dollars of assessed value. The actual rate for the City will not be known until January of 2009 vuhen final assessed value calculations are available. . OPTIONS: An ordinance is required by law. The council could levy an amount less than that proposed, and reduce the budget an equal amount. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action is necessary at this time. The first reading of this ordinance is scheduled for September 9. BUDGETIFINANCIAL IMPACTS: This ordinance levies property tax for the City's 2009 budget year. Staff expects property tax revenues to be near $10.5 million once growth in assessed value and the allowable increase in the tax levy have been included. Property taxes make up 22% of General Fund revenues and beginning fund balance. ; STAFF CONTACT: Finance & Admin.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council approved a CTED Collaboration Grant in 2007. ~ BACKGROUND: This grant was used to evaluate differences in land use (zoning) and development standards, identify fiscal restraints related to annexation, and explore service delivery options within the metropolitan Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). Based on the preceding work consultants have developed two proposed options for compatible development regulations and coordinated review process in the metro UGAs.

The group determined there was a need for coordinated ~ planning within their shared Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). This was an outcome of the metropolitan cities concerns regarding development in the UGAs adjacent to their municipal boundaries. Likewise, Spokane County has had apprehension in relation to annexation and lost revenue that may incur. In 2007, the work group captured funding through a competitive grant offered by the department of Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED). Funding from this grant was used to evaluate differences in land use (zoning) and development standards, identify fiscal restraints related to annexation, and explore service delivery options within the metropolitan UGAs. The working group determined the first step in establishing a basis for coordinated planning was the development of mutually acceptable interlocal agreements. An outcome of this initial worlc was a comparison of existing land use and design standards used by the county and the cities within UGAs to develop an understanding of commonalities and differences in standards. The group thought this further understanding would improve the level of communication between the regional elected officials and would remove a major impediment to the development of the interlocal agreements. The success of future interlocal agreements was determined to be contingent upon balancing the cities desires to monitor growth and allowing the extension of city governance in the UGAs (annexation) without negatively affecting the County's fiscal sustainability. ~ ~ - Based on the preceding work, the group determined a need to develop a foundation for , a service delivery and revenue solution that could put the metro cities and county in a position to be successful in the long-term. To accomplish this, the worlcgroup is applying for a CTED Emerging Issues Grant to continue existing work outlined in the Collaboration Grant awarded in 2007. This work will identify potential efficiencies and/or revenue solutions that will enhance the County's fiscal sustainability and identify what regional and Iocal services it will provide to unincorporated areas. Development Regulations and Review Process for Metro Urban Growth Areas Staff is providing a brief overview of the development regulations and review process for the Metro UGAs on July 22 prior to the official presentation on July 29 by Susan Winchell, Project Manager, and Studio Cascade. As mentioned earlier, part of phase 1 of the CTED Collaborative Grant rvas to survey the development regulations of each jurisdiction, then identify similarities and differences. At this point, consultants have developed two proposed options for compatible development regulations and a coordinated review process in the metro urban growth area. The first option establishes various County-adopted zoning overlay districts emulating regulations of neighboring jurisdictions. The second option is more process-oriented, requiring the implementation of adjacent city regulations within the metro urban grovvth area. The first option, the zoning overlay, essentially modifies Spokane County standards to be compatible with those of adjacent cities. In some instances, the overlay alters permitted land uses to more closely match the uses in the adjoining cities. Density standards would be updated to match city maximum build-out. Subdivision, site design standards, and requirements for residential, commercial, and industrial districts would be created within the overlay. Street standards would be derived from City of Spokane and the City of Spokane Valley. Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) will evaluate this section to ensure consistency with their transportation analysis. In order to implement this alternative, Spokane County would adopt the urban growth area overlay into their zoning regulations, and would administer it similar to its other overlays. The other option proposes using the various city codes for processing land-use permits in the metro unincorporated urban growth area. This option would require interlocal agreements between the County and the various cities. These agreements would define and assign unincorporated urban growth areas to various cities. The agreements would need to outline responsible parties for the processing and action of land use permits. This option would involve the adoption of interlocal agreements that either transfer authority to the cities for review or have the County adopt appropriate city regulations for unincorporated urban growth areas. Appropriate c'rty staff would need to be available to either review or provide technical support for permit applications regardless of who processes the land use application. ; ~~~H~~~►~KN4J` Department of Community Ucvc opmcnt Planaing Division Collaborative Planning Development RVetbropolitan ations and Review Process for UGA MetroFxilitun UGA ('ollaburitive Planning ~ ~ ~ Department of Commtin• ~t~~ De~'e1c~Pment j Planning Division E_ Metropolitan Urban Growth Areas r-- I , ' - . , ` 1 `.~'-3• . _ . ~ j 1 ~/11" ~ . ~4,-~~~ •'~'~'1 I- ~,.r~~ • - , ? •~r _ ~ , • ~ ' ~~'\\~~\t~• i R .

Applications for the FY10 program are due August 29, 2008. The TIB has three funding programs that are applicable to Spokane Valley; • Urban Corridor Program (UCP) • focuses mainly on projects that provide improvements for increased economic development. These are projects that improve street mobility and access to employment centers. Partnerships with local developers are a key component on UCP projects, • Urban AKerial Program (UAP): focus is on proJects that fmprove roadway safety and reduce the number and/or severity of collisions. • Sidewalk Program (SP): funds the construdion of sidewalks to improve pedestrlan safery. The competition for funding projectB this year wfll be tough because the emount of money avallable tor our region is less than in previous years. Below is a summary of the T16 funds available for the FY10 program: • UAP - Northeast Region $2,900,000 • UCP - East Region $5,200,000 • SP - East Region $313,000 See attached for maps of the different regions for the differeM fundirrg groups. Based on the TIB criteria city staff has developed the following preliminary list of projects for this year's round of TIB applications. Indiana Avenue Extenslon - 3600 ft. E of Sullivan to Fiora: This project proposes to extend Indiane Avenue east of Sullivan Road to the Interaection of Mission Avenue and Flore Road. This will provide an altemate access to the Spokane Valley Mall area for North Greenacres resideMs and will alleviate congestion at the SullivaNBroadway intersection.

Grunbling tax receipts for 2008 are expected to bc $150;000 cn $200,000 less than budgeted. We have three significant accpunts that have ftillen behind. We will coni:inue to monitor these accounts but full collection is unlikely. Our budget prajections for 2008 gambling tax receipts were reduced and will be reduced again for 2009. ~ Expenses for the year are running less than budoet whicli offsets the lower gambling tax receipt projections. '1'he investment report is attached for your review. Potential street furid revenue sources VVe are looking at potential strect fund revenue streams identified by the council at a recent eouncil meeting. Those with thc most potcntial appear to be a vehicle tab fec, a utility tar on telephones and agreements with solid waste companies to reimbursc the cit), for wear on our streets. The vehicle tab fee will wait for clarification in the fall. Staff has met with solid waste representatives to discuss a rei.mbursement process. The telephone utility tax is undergoing additional revietv with a draft ordi.nance e.cpccted in July. 2009 budget preparation Budget preparation usually starts in Apeil of each year for the coming year. "fhe City Managee is reviewin~ a ciraft 2009 budget for pre}~aration of his budget messa~e. The first of several public hearings on the 2009 budget is schedulcd for July 22.

Smoke from burn aarrels is noxious because the fires bum at bw temperatures, recehring very little oxygen and producing excessive smolce and otfier toxlc substanoes. ~ Recreational Flres-- are small fires, no larger than 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in ~ height, such as campfires and cooking frres, using only these approved fuels: seasoned ~ (clean end dry) firewood, charcoal bdquettes, natural gas and pmpane. I e Fires used fa debris disposal (even N It's natural debris from your yard and garden) are ~ nut consfdered recreational flres. ~ Backyard barbecues, chimneas and other peGoldeck warmers, are considered recrea- t~ tionai fires, and are also allowed year-round, excepl during a bum ban ~ s Reueatianal fires must be attended at ell times and a method for extinguishing them ~ - available at all fires (Buckets, shovels, garden hoses or a fire extingulsher).

This purchase was the start of a plan for the relocation of Station #9, cumentty located in a home at 11514 E. 16'h, to a better response location in the South Valley and to a facflity that will allow larger fire apparatus. p After completing the design and securing voter approval for the funding, the ° plan began to move forward. In early Aprii, we went out for bids for e hnro ap- paratus bay station with two frefighter dorms. The structure wiil be one story with a total of 7515 sf. Meridian Construction was awarded the contrect at $1,190,000, siated for completion in September. In mid-April, we utilized the two structures for many different rypes of fre seivice training. This trafning was a greai asset to the Department and flrefighter safety. In late April, the struc- tures were demolished to prepare for the construcbon. The picture from 6-19 is I progress to date.

Memorandum To: Mayor Richard Munson Spokane Valley City Council Ft2om: lvf.ike Wirt, Director 1~Am july 15, 2008 SUBJEci% GREATER SPOICAiVE VALLEY AREA LIBRARIES PI,ANT1TING I'm writing this brief update on the District's greater Spokane Vallcy area libraries planning at the request of Depuly City V11nager Vlike Jackson i.n licu of a more formal presentadon at a council meeting study session. The election Subsequent to the March 11, 2008 Greater Spokar►e Valley Lib.rary Capital Facibty Area election Fa.ilure, library staff reported a variety customEr comments abotit the ballot praposa.ls. As you know, the.re were a.lso same related ]etters to tlle editor. In an attempt to get a broader range of responses about the reasons for the very decisive defeat, we set up a comment seetion on our web site and through an article in the Va1Ie~j Voice invitcd voters to use it, a spccial phonE line, email, or written comments on a form available i.n libraries. Unfortunarely, we received only a handful of responses. Usuig the limited anecdotal infarnzati.on at ha,nd, we concluded that there were four primary reasons for the election results. They werc concems about- 1. 1'he worsening national economy 2. Increascd propert}, taxes thcu• impaet on persanal finances 3. The need for and cost of the projects 4. Connections with the City of Spokane Val.lcy's city center projECt and Sprague- Appleway corrid_or street dircctions Future electinn options Because of the mag-nitudc of the election loss and that belief that none of the above Factors wouJ.d suUstantivcly change in the unn-iediate future (and in fact the natianal economy has contulued to worsen), the I7istricYs Boazd of Trustees initially decided that ifi wouldn'fi be appropriate to paace the sam@ propos,-~ls on a future 2008 ballot. h-i discussion at a later meeking, 2010 was stated as the earliest feasibl.e date to go back to voters, depending upon the economy and the status of the city cenl•er dCVelqpment. The interim time could be used to review ancl make any revisians to the proposals that seem advisable. Library site The qption agreement with Universily City, Inc. expires August 31., 2008 iE the transactian asri t closed by then. Tn late March I-,vrote to Jim Magnuson proposing an7.8- ~ 24 nlonth extension with six nlont•h opt-out options for either parly. In a telephone conversation several weeks aater Nfi•. Magnuson said that December 2008 was thc latest commitaicnt Universit5, City could make. Since the District isri t i.n a positi.on to complete the purchase by that date, tihere was no reason to negotiate an extension; theretore, SCL.D will na longer control the proposed library site. Future plaiuzing for a new Spokane Valley LiUrary will need to consider whatever site options a.re avzilable at the time. Future facilities planning Rather tha.n focusing only on thc- greater Spokane Valley, over the next yeax the Bistrict will be preparing a comprellensive 20-year library facilities master p13n that encompasses itis entire service area. As paxi• of that eEfort, previous Spokane Valley p13nn.ing will be reviewed, updated, and incorporated into the bigger picture. 4Ve hope to complete this plan bp next suinmEr so in late 2009 the Board of Trustees will be ab1E to consider election options Eor 201.0. In the infierim In tlle im.mediate futurc we'll continuE do whatever we can to niaintain the functionality of Spokane Valley Library. Some of t11e steps we've al.ready taken have been to provide aciditional sessions af popular chi.lclreri s su-innlcr programs to reduce meeting room crowding and the need to turn kids away; eearrange space so it's used as effectively 2s possible; and to obtain permission for staff to park south of tlie building so more library parkung is available fQr custoalers. 4VIiile the latter might sound like a no-brainer, several previous attempts even to lease parking Erom the shopping center owners 11ad been refused. With regard to future library sites, the District owns the South Conklin Road prqperty . and will hold it tulti.l the new Uranch can be bui,lt. We'll continue to moiutor the development of University City and surrouncling propcrty as we believe that area rr• mains the best locakion far a new main library.

The Friends provided funds for Spokane is Rendirig, Summer Reading, and library hours' magnets. • The adult bxowsing area on the first floor was rearranged to provide better access to the large print book cAl.lection, which invalved moving five public computers to other areas of the building. Aage 1 of 4 Argorrne Library • An April Nriends' open house featured Texry Bain, autlzor of "Yov ArE a Dag" and "We Are the Cat," who talked books and writing with customers. ■ Argonne was the test case for the Safe Place Program-nvt only the firsl for SCLD, but apparently one of the first handled by the Valu.nteers of America. • Staff participated once again in the annual West Valle}' SCOPE parade. • The Friends donated money for metal bookmarks for the adu.lt Summer Readi.ng giEt baskets.

Greatcr Spokane Valley Area Libraries Project Election cost: SCLD's cost for the Viarch 11 GS\T[..CFA election was $53,353.48. Due to the number of items on the ballot, particularly a county-wide measure, it was less than a.nticipated. Universifiy Cihy property: University City, J,nc. ciec.lineci SCLD's request for an 18-24 month Fxtension of thc Purcli3se and Sale Agreement deadline Ueyond August 31. Election feeciback: The SCLD election perspective article wril•ten in an effort to g,et so.me publ.ic feedbacl: was published in the Salurday, April 26 Vnlley Voice, but it gEnerated only a hand.ful of comments. Spokane Valley T.ibraxy parking Following the March election results, thAUghks lurned to making do with the Spokane Valley Library builtling and it,s shortCOmings-one of those its limited parking. An initial inquiry lbout using the plenliful but hisrorically Aff-limits parkuig to it-ie south of the library resulted i.n permission from the manager of the Washu'►gtan Mutual branch for sta.fE to use the portion of that lot adjacent to the library • , since iNs always empry anyway. With that wc recovcred 15-20 parking stalls for customer usc at no cost, cikher one-time or ongoing. r . Customer use mcasu.res All of the "rolling ttivehre nionth coinparison numbers" are positive, with the exception of ciatabase access page views. Taoor cAUnt is up a healthy 3%, circulation 5°,6, and the refErence increase is up to 796, rontuluing to reverse a mulki-year trend. There was also a 1% increase over last year in the number of registered borrowers - the number of cusromer records for which tliere's been any l},pe of activity in the last 36 months. After that time pEriod they're purged fram the database. Because libraries use diffErenh criteria far their cardholder caunts and have difierent schedules for pu.rgulg ald records, iNs difficult to meanulgfully compare totals or percentages of the service area population. Adult services 1'rogramming: StafE-led book discussi.on groups met monthly at Deer Park, N[oran T'rairie, North Spokane and Spokane Valley LiUraries. The first-ever adult Suminer Reading Progranl had 2,087 regishants by the end of June. It includes ]viaster Gardener progranls ut all branches; genealogy programs at North Spokane and Spokane Valley, taught by members of the Eastern Washi.ngton Genealogical Society; and a reading program at North 5pokane hosted by the Pacific Northwesti Writers group. Outreach: An average af 35 facilities was visited each monl•h. Two new sites will be added in July: a Me11s on Whecls lunch program and a low-income apazkment complex where residents have no easy way of getting to the library. Community: SCLD taok part in thc annual Eldercare Conference, away to get in touch with the oufireach unpaid care gi<<er audieiice. Of thc 6,600 returns prepared t]Zroughout Spokane Cou.nty by 7'axAide " volunreers, 2,900 were processed at an SCLD Uranch. In addition to the com.munity parades held in the Spokane Valley axea, staff participated un Fairlield Flag Day's and Iviedical Lake Founders Day's evcnts.
