gave those in attendance a copy of the appropriate comp plan and UDC elements that they are working

gave that plan to his colleagues, adding that this would be a good item for later discussion; said that he
received a briefing today from the International Trade Association regarding the possibility of us having a
sister city program in conjunction with a federal program helping China and India join other countries on
some basic climate change measures, and that a representative from the ITA will speak to Council on that

she said the Oxford House will house seven men who are recovering from addictions, that her brother is a
recovered addict and she sympathizes with them, but is concerned with such a house being within 300
feet of a park where kids play; that she realizes this home is federally protected but she still worries about
the children, and she handed the clerk five write -ups of neighbor's concerns.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: Proposed 2009 Revenues and Expenditures— Ken Thompson
Mayor Munson opened the public hearing at 6:15 p.m. and invited Mr. Thompson to the podium. Mr.
Thompson explained that this is the first of three hearings on the 2009 proposed budget, he said that the
information in Council's packet is a little different from tonight's PowerPoint as a few of the numbers
have changed; that $87 million is very close to where we were a year ago; that that the proposed budget
includes the loan to the street fund and replenishing the winter weather fund; he explained that sales tax is
down, property tax is up, and gambling tax is down; and that the loan to the street fund is estimated at
$1.175 million, and that $500,000 has been estimated to replenish the winter weather reserve. In response
to Councilmember Gothmann's question on why the property tax has a 6% anticipated increase, Mr.
Thompson said that that figure counts on new construction, and that we will also likely get an increase
when the State re- assesses the utilities. There was some brief discussion about the city levy rate of $1.53
per thousand dollars of assessed value, but Mr. Thompson explained that Council doesn't actually set that
rate, but does approve a total amount; that for a number of years we were at what amounted to a rate of
$1.60 which is the maximum for us, and from there we dropped to just under that in 2004, and last year
went from $1.50 to $1.495. Mayor Munson invited public comments; no comments were offered and
Mayor Munson closed the public hearing at 6:23 p.m.

NEW BUSINESS:
3. First Reading Proposed Ordinance 08 -018 Telephone Tax — Ken Thompson
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Denenny and
seconded to advance Ordinance 08 -018 implementing a 6% telephone utility tax to a second reading.
Finance Director Thompson explained that in 2003 and 2004, we could see our street fund would be
having financial problems in the future; that we receive approximately $2.1 million in gas tax revenues
annually, and the expenses will be approximately $5 million plus an estimated 8% inflationary increase
annually; and added that the gas tax revenues are not enough to cover all the street maintenance expenses;
that we examined different possibilities to cover this fund, and it was determined that the telephone tax
would be the most advantageous as it would generate an estimated $3 million annually; adding that 6% is
the most council can assess without taking this to the voters; and that if approved, the tax would be
effective January 1, 2009. Council concurred that the ordinance should be changed for the second reading
to state that the funds will be dedicated only to street maintenance and operations. Mr. Mercier added that
a majority of the street sweeping funds are allocated to stormwater; and also to allow for the lag time
between the funding being approved and collected, that via a loan from the general fund to the street fund,
we will inject capital required to keep the street fund afloat in 2009, and said that perhaps twelve to
eighteen months after the phone tax revenues are received, the street fund should enjoy 100% of the
revenues. In reference to a question from Mayor Munson regarding using a portion of the internet, Mr.
Driskell responded that the definition is still a work in progress as there have been recent issues on the
federal and state level that the legal department is sorting out in order to make certain the definitions
reflect the recent changes in the law. Mayor Munson invited public comment; no comments were offered.
Deputy Mayor Denenny reminded everyone that this tax does not solve all the financial issues that will be
faced in the future, and if future legislature changes include other mechanisms for assisting in road
maintenance and operation, this telephone tax can always be re- addressed. Vote by Acclamation: In
Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
4. Resolution Ending Emergency Conditions of Resolution 08 -015 — Cary Driskell
It was moved by Councilmember Taylor and seconded to approve Resolution 08 -016. Deputy City
Attorney Driskell explained that the intent of this resolution is to declare that the conditions which gave
rise to the emergency proclamations on July 10 and 11 have now abated; and that it was Spokane County
which first issued such a declaration followed by Spokane Valley's declaration, and that today the Board
of County Commissioners took a similar step to declare that the emergency has been abated. Mr. Driskell
also mentioned that the Governor declared a state of emergency county and statewide which will continue
in effect statewide to make sure funds are available in the state, as the fire season has just begun. Mayor
Munson invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor:
Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Munson invited general public comment; no general public comments
were offered.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
5. Personnel Ordinance Amendment — Ordinance 44 Drug Testing — Cary Driskell
Deputy City Attorney Driskell mentioned that the City adopted Ordinance #44 in 2003, and that part of
that included a requirement that all perspective employees would be subjected to a drug screen test, and
that employees required to maintain a Commercial Driver's License would also be subject to periodic
random testing. Mr. Driskell explained that the state and federal courts have clarified the law on this
Council Regular Meeting: 07 -22 -08 Page 3 of 6
Approved by Council: 08 -12 -08
issue to state that only certain positions within the City structure may be subject to such drug testing, and
these noted changes will bring our Code into compliance with those statutes and case law, adding that the
responsibility for compliance for those provisions would also shift from the City Manager to the Human
Resources Manager. After brief discussion concerning the proposed changes, Mr. Driskell stressed that
the pre - employment drug screen test would only be required for those positions requiring a commercial
driver's license, or involving safety- sensitive duties. There was Council consensus to bring this ordinance
forward for a first reading, noting that because these are housekeeping items, Council could also at that
time suspend the rules and adopt the changes on a first reading.
6. Property Tax Levy Ordinance Review — Ken Thompson
Finance Director Thompson explained that state law requires the adoption of an ordinance to levy
property taxes; that 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 and less the library rate, and that a review of the budget
needs indicates the City's levy will be closer to $1.53 per thousand dollars of assessed value, but that the
actual rate will not be known until January 2009 when the final assessed value calculations are available.
Mr. Thompson mentioned that this ordinance would be brought to Council for a first reading on
September 9, 2008.
7. Tax Levy Confirmation Ordinance Review — Ken Thompson
Finance Director Thompson stated that another state law requires that we make our revenue projections
known and conduct a public hearing to consider input from the pubic, which hearing was just held; and
that the City is required to pass an ordinance expressing our desire to levy a 6.39% annual increase in the
property tax levy; that this property tax increase ($631,060) is included as part of the annual property tax
and is scheduled for a first reading September 9. In response to council question concerning how much
the police budget will increase this year, Mr. Thompson said staff is planning for 8% but there are still
some unknowns, and that figure could represent $800,000 to one million dollars. City Manager Mercier
added that the recent wage settlement with the deputies association to allocate 4% compensation in 2008
and 3.5% in 2009 would have a compounding affect on our budget; and that the signs are changing almost
daily at the gas stations, noting that fuel is a huge element in these figures as well.
8. Collaborative Planning Options for UGAs — Mike Basinger
Senior Planner Basinger said that Council approved a CTED Collaboration grant in 2007, which was used
to evaluate differences in land use and development standards, and explore service delivery options
within the Metropolitan Urban Growth Areas; and based on the preceding work, consultants developed
two proposed options for compatible development regulations and coordinated review process in the
metro UGAs; and per his PowerPoint he gave a brief history of the collaborative efforts, and explained
that phase 1 includes developing strategies, and phase 2 includes developing interlocal agreements; and
also mentioned that tonight's presentation is a pre- cursor to the July 29 presentation by Susan Winchell,
Project Manager. Mr. Basinger's July 22, 2008 "CTED Regional Collaboration Grant" memorandum
explained the process to establish a basis for coordinated planning, which includes development of a
mutually acceptable interlocal agreement; and that options for carrying out these planning processes
include either modifying Spokane County standards to be compatible with those of adjacent cities; or
using the various city codes for processing land -use permits; adding that this second option would require
interlocal agreements between the County and the various cities, while the first option would require
Spokane County to adopt the urban growth area overlay into their zoning regulations. Mr. Basinger also
mentioned that there will be a grant committee meeting at Spokane County, 2nd floor, Room 2B, on July
28 at 3 p.m. and he invited council to attend; and he ended his presentation by re- stating that the focus of
the collaborative effort is to get to the table and communicate.

9. Draft Project List for TIB Grant Applications — Steve Worley
Senior Engineer Worley explained that this is our annual draft project list for the TIB Grant applications;
and explained the projects on the list, which include Indiana Avenue Extension, 3600 feet east of Sullivan
to Flora; Mansfield Extension Houk to Mirabeau; Flora Road Improvements Sprague to Mission; and
Sprague Avenue Rehabilitation and safety project, Evergreen to Sullivan. Mr. Worley said that this
preliminary list of projects is being presented for Council comments or questions and to see if Council
would like to move forward with these projects; adding that the applications are due August 29. It was
agreed that this issue will come back to Council August 12 for approval of the final list.
Mayor Munson called for a short recess at 7:25 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:30 p.m.
10. Sprague /Appleway Revitalization Plan — Scott Kuhta /Lori Barlow
Prior to Mr. Kuhta's presentation, Mayor Munson reminded Council that tonight's agenda item is not an
opportunity for deliberation, as that will occur after the public hearing, but is an opportunity for Council
to ask questions. Mr. Kuhta explained that although the PowerPoint is not included in the packets, this is
not new information and most comes directly from the Plan. Mr. Kuhta explained that the Planning
Commission had no recommended changes to Book 1, which is why that was not included in the
notebook; but that the entire Plan will ultimately be re- formatted into one document, and he extended
thanks to Community Development Administrative Assistant Deanna Griffith for her diligence in that
regard. Mr. Kuhta explained that there is one proposed change to book 3, which is the street network
phasing schedule. Mr. Kuhta brought Council's attention to the strike -out recommended changes in Book
2, which are the development regulations; he said that most changes are related to the city center
regulations, and said that the Planning Commission spent a lot of time on the applicability 20% rule in
Section 2.0.1(a)(i), and said that originally it was 10 %, staff suggested 15 %, and the Planning
Commission recommended 20% based on public testimony that the 15% was too tight. Mayor Munson
asked if the Chamber received the new plan, and Mr. Kuhta responded that yes, and that he met with them
as well. Mr. Kuhta also mentioned that the maps and photos are easier to view in the large Plan than in
the notebook, as they were difficult to format; and said that information on how the district zone
boundaries were created would be a good topic for Mr. Freedman at tomorrow's meeting, as well as how
the building use chapter is organized. In response to the Mayor's question about not allowing used car
sales, Mr. Kuhta said there are plenty of areas in the City where used cars sales can be regulated, and that
topic can be further discussed after the public hearing. Mr. Kuhta also mentioned that page 9A, 2.1.1 City
Center District zone regulations, shows the proposed changes in yellow. Mr. Kuhta mentioned that
Council and staff will need to further address Book II concerning the street network map, and will need to
have an entire discussion on signs to include plastic panels, electronic reader boards, etc. Mr. Kuhta said
that in Book III, the Planning Commission is still recommending the two -way system, and there was a lot
of generated discussion on phasing with auto row. Mayor Munson said that when Council gets into the
deliberation of this Plan, that perhaps they should deal with the "hot button issues" first to ensure a logical
flow of issues; and that Council will look to Mr. Kuhta to help organize the meeting.
11. Delegation of Authority — Police Emphasis Grants — Chief VanLeuven
Mr. Mercier mentioned the prior study session presentation about the "Drive Nailed get Hammered"
police emphasis grant and of the short turn- around time; and in that regard, Council asked that we come
back and describe other types of traffic safety related grants that could also come in with a very short turn
around time, and thus this is a proposal to delegate authority to the City Manager or designee to sign
future Memorandums of Understanding in order to facilitate meeting grant deadlines. Chief VanLeuven
mentioned the current traffic grants include "X -52 DUI and Speeding Traffic Safety Emphasis; "State
Route 27 "; and the "Nighttime seat belt enforcement." Chief VanLeuven said there are simply
reimbursements of overtime funds to pay for these grants, and that it is critical to timely submit the
paperwork to the Traffic Safety Commission. There was Council consent to place this on the August 12
consent agenda.

12. Public Safety Presentation/Trends — Chief VanLeuven
Chief VanLeuven explained that Council requested an update and information regarding the current crime
trends and what is being done to combat those trends, and he went through his PowerPoint presentation
explaining the most common trends, property crime investigations and statistics, data on vehicle prowling
and burglaries, the procedure used by the officers to address these issues; property crime solutions
including data on property crimes comparisons; discussed crimes against persons such as assaults and
robbery; gave information concerning sex offenders in the Spokane Area, common drugs and drug
problems, gang activities, crime in schools, traffic problems, arson and SCOPE. Chief VanLeuven
mentioned that other specialty units include school resource deputies, crime prevention officers, sexual
assault unit, gang enforcement, property crimes, and others, and asked if Council would like additional
presentations on any of those listed units, to let him know and he would be happy to make such
presentation. Mr. Mercier mentioned as well that tonight's presentation is in response to a request for a
report on police trends; that the Police Department faithfully produces their monthly report, and that we
occasionally ask if Council is getting enough information; that a few years ago Council said they were
getting too much information, but we insisted on keeping the reports coming on a monthly basis; and said
that were was some concern whether the Police Department is getting enough air time in front of council;
and that staff let's council set the pace on what they want to see, and reiterated that the last slide gives
many examples of potential future presentations, and that staff will wait on their cues from council on
what they would like to hear.
INFORMATION ONLY: The Department Reports, Fire Department Quarterly Report, and Library
Quarterly Report were for information only and not reported on or discussed.
There being no further business, it was moved by Councilmember Taylor, seconded, and unanimously
agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 9 p.m.

Oxford House Memorandum Page 1 of 1
July 15, 2008
To Whorn ft May Concern:
1 am writing to you, concerning the new drug and rehab house, called Dishman Hills
Oxford House, on South Sargent in the Spokane Valley, next to Camp Caro.
I am against having such a house, located on a small residential street and next to a busy
neighborhood park, Camp Caro, for a number of reasons.
First of all, there are four houses on this street, three of which are currently occupied.
Two of these three houses have small children, which I don't think is appropriate for the
kids to be exposed to this type of environment. One of these 2 houses with small
children, I have babysat at for many years and still do today on occasion.
Second of all, I am concerned about the extra traffic that will be generated by all the
"residents" of this rehab place. I was informed that there are to be 7 residents living
there. As it is now, there is only parking on one -side of the street and sometimes, it is
very difficult just trying to find a place to park when 1 am babysitting or visiting at my
friend's house. With the limited street parking and even more limited parking at any one
of these residential homes, there isn't going to be enough parking for all -- -the general
public, residents and their visitors (the residents') let alone a business. During the spring,
summer, and fall, which are Camp Caro's peak times for many events and activities,
parking becomes even more at a premium and very hard to find. During these times,
there are many adults and children in attendance, which I don't think need to be exposed
to this type of environment either.
Third of all, 1 question the reputation of these drug/alcohol recovery people. While it is
true that a few can be rehabilitated, the ma are repeat offenders. And we a ll know
that these people are prone to theft or any ill - mannered means when it comes to
supporting their "habits. Is this the kind of people we want in a child-friendly
neighborhood, with a child- friendly park nearby? Can we trust the _staff of this proposed
rehab house, who are there to monitor these residents? Or trust the "controls" they put in
place for these residents to live by. 1 say it is a resounding "NO "!
Doesn't this type of business need to be overseen by city, state and/or federal government
before a license to operate is granted? To date, l am not aware that any inspections have
taken place. How can a business such as this operate in a neighborhood that is zoned
strictly for residential only?
Please do the right thing, by helping to keep the neighborhood
neighborhood with a child- friendly park and do not let this rehab
neighborhood.
Thank you for your time and attention to this very important matter.
further questions, please feel free to contact me at (509) 326 -1842.
Sincerely,
Terri Brown

To Spokane Valley City Counsel, 07 -15 -08
T am very concerned about the house on my street @ 223 S, Sargent this is one house
out of four on the whote block. We found out this past Friday night that the man who
bought it John Bellefeulle is going to have a drug and alcohol rehab house with 7 men in
there called the Oxford House with no supervision. Oxford house's are just like motels.
This house has always been an attractive nuisance. The other neighbors and I called this
house in to code enforcement several times, we were under the assumption it was
condemned by Chris Burg. And thought it was going to be torn down. We have had
transits in and around it. We feel our rights are being violated with the oxford house
coming in our neighborhood. How is our block even considered a neighborhood? Why
weren't we notified of this house? How are they protected and we are not? We worked
our butts off for our property. Where do our rights as tax paying home owners come into
the picture? I am a single parent with three young kids under the ages of sixteen, and my
neighbor lady is a widow with two young girls under the age of twelve she is right next to
the so called Oxford House. On the other side is an elderly man. We want to know who
will protect us? We also have a very busy Park at the end of the road that lots and lots of
kids go to on a daily basis. Our kids will also have to pass by the oxford house to catch
the bus. The school District's also use this park on regular school days. We are more
concerned with the out come of the alcohol and drug addicts we know by statistics most
of them fail and go back to jail and the regular drug and alcohol lifestyle that also
includes stealing and burglaries and abuse. The traffic up here is hectic during the .
summer hours and there is limited parking to the west side of the street only, Every day
since April the owner of that House and some of his Oxford workers quite frequently
park in the NO PARKING ZONE. They can't even follow the law so how will seven
unsupervised men thllow the laws and rules?

To Spokane Valley City Counsel Members,
I am writing you today concerning the house at 223 S. Sargent in the Spokane Valley.
This house is going to be a halfway house for Drug and Alcohol addicts. This home will
house 7 unsupervised men who are freshly out of jail. These men were convicted
criminals .Those who use drugs for example, Meth they are responsible for most of the
violent crimes and thefts in our judicial system. To now house them unsupervised will
obviously introduce more crime and violence into this small neighborhood where my
three children live and play. This neighborhood already has their share of people up
partying up here at all hours of the night .We have found several syringes and bottles of
booze and numerous calls to the sheriff dept. This neighborhood consist of 4 homes, two
of the homes have single moms with 5 kids between them under the age of 16.The other
home is a single man in his early sixty's. How can this even be considered a
neighborhood? It also has a park that is used quite frequently on a daily basis with boy
scouts, girl scouts, Soccer practices; most all the school district's have field trips up to
this park. There have also been a few drug dealer caught here dealing. lithe 7 rehab men
had no criminal records that would be one thing but these people are at high risk to
reoffend .Were will they get their money for their next fix? They will probably steal from
Camp Caro or the few neighbors on the block. My children have to pass this house to go
to and from the school bus stop without parental guidance. What about the people that
takes their kids to the park to play hoping to have a safe and happy place to play. Maybe
we should ask Mr. Bellefeuille why he doesn't use his residence in his neighborhood for
this rehab house. I bet his neighbors would not allow it on their block. I would like to
know if there was suppose to be a public notice or hearing or legal channels or permits to
house such dangerous people in public use areas? I am terrified for my children and their
property.
I would like someone to answer my concerns.
Very Concerned Father
