PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Jeff Tower, 1100 W Mallon; said he is the Undersheriff with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office and
oversees the Sheriff's and Spokane Valley Police Department Training Unit; concerning the sub -lease the
Sheriff's Office and the Spokane Valley Police Department has with the Community Colleges of Spokane
at CenterPlace, that he is sure Council is aware of the recent letter they received through the Community
Colleges of Spokane where the City requested that the Training Unit vacate CenterPlace. Mr. Tower said
that letter stated three reasons why they needed to vacate: their presence was not consistent with the stated
purpose of the lease and not consistent with the use description of the use contained in the Certificate of
City, and that their presence was detrimental and could adversely impact the City's ability to expand
programs at CenterPlace. Mr. Tower said he strenuously objects to those reasons and believes their
presence is consistent with those purposes; that they are frustrated at the numerous misunderstandings in
the letter that they have attempted to rectify with the City Manager's office; that they have been told there
is no appeal process; and that they cannot approach the City Council to clarify their position. He said all
they are asking for is a voice to at least present their program and show where they meet those needs and
that they are consistent with the stated purposes in the letter. He continued by explaining that as a partner
with the City of Spokane Valley, the Sheriff's Office and the Spokane Valley Police Department, they
have worked hard to develop and strengthen external relations consistent with City Council Goal #5; they
believe being forced to move out of CenterPlace seriously jeopardizes the partnerships they have created
with businesses, community groups and with community colleges on behalf of the City of Spokane
Valley; and as a result they request that the Council allow them to stay at CenterPlace until Council can
review their program and they can meet with the City Manager and the City Council to go over their
program. Mr. Tower said that if it is determined that they do not meet the needs of the City or don't meet
the certificate of the city, they will move out and make arrangements to relocate their training unit to
another location.
Mayor Wilhite stated that we have asked our bond attorney to give us clarification on that certificate and
are waiting for that response; and that Deputy City Manager Regor has remarks to add.
Deputy City Manager Regor said that she respectfully disagrees with Mr. Tower; that she did not say
they could not meet with City Council, but rather she said that this is an administrative decision and is not
appropriate to meet with sub -sets of Councilmembers, although Mr. Tower and members of the Sheriff's
Office are always welcome to come to a public setting and speak at a council meeting. She continued that
the City's decision about appropriate use of CenterPlace, whether an individual reservation or a sub -lease
with the Community Colleges of Spokane, is based on the Certificate of City, which was required as part
Council Meeting: 01 -23 -07 Page 2 of 7
Approved by Council: 02 -06 -07
of the request for bonding. Mr. Regor further explained that in our Certificate of City, we state that the
conference portion of CenterPlace will be used for large and small group meetings, retreats and other
organized functions, meetings of civic and community organizations, and in addition, can be used by the
Community College of Spokane for educational programs, community events, and artistic and other
cultural exhibits, presentations and performances. She added that as members of the City's administration
spoke with the Community Colleges of Spokane in 2003 concerning if the Colleges wanted to engage in a
lease with the City of Spokane Valley, the Colleges sent a letter that encapsulated their vision of their
participation at CenterPlace; and in that letter they stated they wanted to support the adult learning needs
of our region, especially as possible partnership with the Senior Citizen's Program, outreach for business
training and training needs associated with the Valley Industrial Park, expanded opportunities for
academic transfer students including Running Start and Adult Basic Education, GED, and English as a
Second Language. Ms. Regor said that therefore, those were the types of activities we were envisioning
in the College's participation at CenterPlace; and that vision was used to draft the lease agreement. Ms.
Regor said that the use language in the lease, which was adopted by the City and approved by the
Community Colleges of Spokane, were classrooms, educational programming, and community education
to all ages of residents of the City of Spokane Valley and the surrounding area, and program areas
including but not limited to English as a Second Language, Adult Basic Education, Workforce training,
and cultural and artistic seminars. Ms. Regor said that as they were considering workforce training, they
were thinking of training such as computer training. Regarding the Sheriff's Office sub -lease with the
Colleges, Ms. Regor said the City's first contact with the College was in early August, wherein they
requested approval of their agreement with the Sheriff's Office to use classroom space from time to time
to teach community classes and to use some of their office space, and that this would not be an
assignment or sub - lease. In subsequent conversations and written communication with the College, Ms.
Regor explained, it became clear that it was a sub -lease that was being considered; and that the intent of
the use continued to change as communications continued, making it difficult to arrive at a conclusion on
the topic. Ms. Regor further stated that CenterPlace is a multi -use building, and while we welcome the
use of the community, it is not a community center in the traditional definition of the term; that in
addition to education, we see activities like individual community events such as weddings, broader
community events like Valleyfest or the Department of Ecology's Conference for the Aquifer Study; and
other regional conferences and city- sponsored recreation activities. Ms. Regor explained that due to the
size of the facility, it is likely that various and diverse activities occur simultaneously; and the City's
approach has been to balance the varying needs of the facility, and to make sure simultaneous uses are
compatible and do not impact each other.
Jeff Tower: said that they believe the vast majority if not all of their activities they conduct meets the
definitions Ms. Regor mentioned; that they experienced frustrations in not being able to get audience with
the City Manager but have been continually referred to the City Parks and Recreation Director, and they
have met with him, and believes there are misunderstandings in the letter and would like an opportunity to
clarify those misunderstandings.
Dave Ellis, 11420 E 47 ' Court: Mr. Ellis gave a handout to the City Clerk for distribution to
Councilmembers (Spokane Valley Police Department Spokane County Sheriff's Office REGIONAL
TRAINING). Mr. Ellis said he is a training officer for the Spokane Valley Police Department and
Spokane County Sheriff's Office, and that his job is to coordinate all the training for the commission
members of the Police Department and Sheriff's Office. He gave a brief history of the training unit and
of their required training responsibilities; and said that in the past, due to lack of training in the region,
officers were forced to travel to places such as Seattle or California thereby making the cost of training
expensive and therefore attendance was low; but that upon moving into CenterPlace since July 2006, their
focus has been to host this advanced regional training, which lead to such benefits as much of the training
being offered at no cost; adding that much of the training is funded through Homeland Security Funds,
and that they can have 20 -30 officers attend the training rather than the former three or less in attendance.
Council Meeting: 01 -23 -07 Page 3 of 7
Approved by Council: 02 -06 -07
Mr. Ellis also added that better trained officers result in less liability for lawsuits and help reduce crime,
and helps to provide a strong economic development impact for the local hotels and restaurants as
students attend from places ranging from Orange County California to Alaska. Mr. Ellis added that he is
willing to work to address and correct any concerns that the Spokane Valley may have regarding their use
of CenterPlace.
Mayor Wilhite responded that Council will be discussing this issue.
Gail Stiltner, 10119 E 44 Avenue: she thanked Council for holding neighborhood meetings and
expressed her appreciation to staff, the Mayor and Councilmembers who attended; and said that such
meetings show residents of an area how important the council is to our new city; she said neighbors were
impressed by the scope of activity; and felt more a part of the government of the city.
Shelly, Mitchell, 1020 E Gamble Street, # 206 Medical Lake: she said that she is here tonight
representing the Board of Coalition of Responsible Disabled, and said that is appears the Valley does not
have adequate sidewalks and curb cuts; that after investigating it is now clear that when ADA became
effective, Spokane County was to have complied with those ADA standards, but did not and therefore it
now falls to Spokane Valley; and that they are asking that in a reasonable amount of time, to have
something planned in place regarding what the City will do to make businesses accountable and comply
with the ADA regulations; and that after a reasonable amount of time after talking with some
representatives from the ADA, they will file against the City and businesses that do not comply; that it
has been a long time and crossing the streets is very hazardous; and that she hopes she will be contacted,
because if there is no sign of any action, they will file suit, and she hopes the Valley will come into
compliance. Ms. Mitchell said many businesses are not in compliance and may not be aware that they are
responsible for putting in their accessible sidewalk and maintaining it; and said it is the responsibility of
the City to bring those businesses into compliance.
Mayor Wilhite said that she and Ms. Mitchell spoke on the telephone about this issue, and Mayor Wilhite
said she spoke with staff, and that Public Works Director Neil Kersten is here; and that they have
discussed this issue and Mr. Kersten is planning to examine the issue, and is planning to speak with Ms.
Mitchell to determine exactly where the problems are, and to address those problems; and that we
understand there are places in the Valley where the County did not put in curb cuts but should have, and
we know those are areas where we need to go back and rectify the situation. Mayor Wilhite also thanked
Ms. Mitchell for making us aware of issues such as this, and that when we do get calls of this nature, we
have our Code Compliance officers discuss the issues with the businesses to make sure the businesses
understand their responsibility to get the sidewalks shoveled to make passage safe; and that Ms. Mitchell
will hear from city staff. Ms. Mitchell said they need to hear what the City will do to make sure ADA
requirements are being met, and staff can contact her personally or through the CORD. Mayor Wilhite
also stated that staff will discuss with Ms. Mitchell about what timeframe she is considering. [Coalition
of Responsible Disabled, 612 N Maple Street, Spokane, 99201. Shelly Mitchell 509-270-5425.]
Dwight McClain, 11009 E. 11t: spoke concerning the need for awareness by citizens concerning service
animals and State Statutes concerning penalties for violations of those who deny or interfere with
admittance of disabled persons with service animals, to public facilities, and of the need to have these
state statutes enforced.
Mayor Wilhite invited further public comments; and no further comments were offered. Mayor Wilhite
stated that concerning CenterPlace, staff will get an opinion from the Bond Council, and that Mr.
Mercier should be back by then, and that the matter should be discussed with Mr. Mercier; and that
Council will discuss putting the matter on a council agenda to discuss the policy issue of what uses are
appropriate for CenterPlace. Councilmember DeVleming asked if such matter would come on an agenda

prior to February 16, and Mayor Wilhite said they will look at putting it on the calendar. Councilmember
Gothmann said he is concerned that this is rather unreasonable to "cut them off at the pockets" as they
have people who are scheduling trips to Spokane from Washington, D.C. Mayor Wilhite said she realizes
there are people coming from out of town to attend these classes. Ms. Regor said staff will discuss adding
the issue to the February 6 agenda; and that staff is working on the regional marketing plan for the use of
CenterPlace, and it would be a good opportunity to combine the two discussions, as the issue is, what are
the needs and uses of CenterPlace and how to balance those needs; although the regional marketing plan
is not likely to be in a final draft form by February 6, but the preliminary draft could be discussed broadly.
Deputy Mayor Taylor asked if the decision point is in the hands of the Council or is a contractual issue.
Ms. Regor replied that this is an administrative decision; and that the parties involved include the City of
Spokane Valley and the Community Colleges of Spokane, and that we do not have a direct relationship
with the Sheriff's Office on this matter. Deputy Mayor Taylor said in regard to the February 16 deadline,
he does not see a need to rush this in terms of cutting off some events that are occurring, but that it is
more important to have a proper policy in place for how CenterPlace will be used; and that he would not
want to unnecessarily disrupt a schedule that is already in place.

Residential estate zoning in the Ponderosa and Rotchford neighborhoods. Community Development

that it is her hope to have the all development regulations completed by the end of April. Mayor Wilhite
invited public comment. Gail Stiltner, 10119 E 44 in the Ponderosa, said that on behalf of the
neighborhood, she asks to help retain a lifestyle important to them and unique to the Valley, and one
which is also a marketable lifestyle; and that she wants the zoning to remain as it is with one house per
acre. Mayor Wilhite invited further public comment; and no further comments were offered. Vote by

second reading. After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, Deputy City Attorney Driskell
explained the background of the appeal procedures and the rationale for this two -step process; and
mentioned that Nancy Hill of SCRAPS, and Hearing Examiner Mike Dempsey are in attendance tonight.
Mr. Driskell also mentioned that at the second reading, section 7.30.045 will be in complete redline, but
that for this first reading, he wanted Council to be able to see the small changes from what was the
County's regulations, to what will be our regulations. Mayor Wilhite invited public comment; no
comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions:
None. Motion carried.
5. Motion Consideration: Contract Approval Outdoor Pool Renovation — Mike Jackson
After Parks and Recreation Director Jackson gave a history of the pool renovation as per his Request for
Council Action form, it was moved by Councilmember Denenny and seconded, to approve the Contract
with ORB Architects for architectural and engineering services for the renovation of Terrace View,
Valley Mission and Park Road swimming pools, and to authorize the signature thereon of the City
Manager or designee. Mr. Jackson added that there will be some minor changes in the wording but no

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
6. City Use of Geiger Work Crews — Cary Driskell
Deputy City Attorney Driskell explained that the City has need for manual labor for certain work in our
rights -of -way, such as for weed abatement, and that the Geiger Correctional Facility has work crews that
can provide this service at rates significantly below those we might find elsewhere; that the work would
be on -call. Attorney Driskell stated that he will be adding some verbiage under 5.2 Notices to add the
inclusion of our Code Compliance Officer. After brief discussion, there was Council consensus to place
this item on the next Council consent agenda.
7. Uniform Development Code Title 21 and Shoreline MasterPlan — Marina Sukup and Greg McCormick
Community Development Director Sukup explained that this title is the result of a collaborative effort
between her and Planning Manager Greg McCormick. Councilmember Munson brought staff's attention
to page 27, paragraph b i and ii; and asked if it is possible to change the verbiage to less convoluted
language. Ms. Sukup responded that many sections are written in line with statute's subscription of what
we can and cannot do. There followed discussion concerning having a balance in the language to make it
clear yet keep it legally binding. City Attorney Connelly added that if staff were to re -write sections to
summarize what the statutes state, we run the risk of leaving sections open to various interpretations and
thereby leaving us open to lawsuits; and that as written, while complex, most developers understand it
and most of the complexity is due to a lack of familiarity. Ms. Regor said that if Council has suggestions
for specific changes, staff will examine those areas to see if changes can be accommodated.
Council Meeting: 01 -23 -07 Page 6 of 7
Approved by Council: 02 -06 -07
Planning Manager McCormick went through the PowerPoint with emphasis on major components of
SEPA (21.20); floodplain regulations based on FEMA regulations, critical areas based on state law; and
the Shoreline Management Act.
Councilmember Gothmann suggested staff provide council a memo outlining the skeleton and the
accompanying elements; and show the process of how they work together. Deputy Mayor Taylor
suggested having a flow chart or organizational chart to graphically represent the different aspects and
how they interplay. Further discussion included our standards compared with the County's standards;
that the County and the City of Spokane operate under the same set of rules; the County's shoreline
masterplan and our refinement of that document's policies; incorporating new goals and policies in our
current comprehensive plan; and the need to include hazard materials, including an appendix with a list of
such materials. The map sections of properly functioning condition rating, ecological conditions, and
river restoration potential were also discussed. Staff mentioned that this title will be further reviewed and
discussed at next week's Study Session meeting.
In other business, Deputy City Manager Regor mentioned that June 9 might not work as the Council's
mid -year retreat, and asked Councilmembers to bring their calendars to this Saturday's retreat so we can
discuss an appropriate date. Concerning the Student Advisory Council Bylaws, Councilmember
DeVleming mentioned that the change is minor as shown on the draft. It was Council consensus to have
that item also placed on the next Council's consent agenda.
There being no further business, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Taylor, seconded and unanimously
agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 8:14 p.m.

To the City of Spokane Valley Council Members:
January 22,2007
Dwight McClain and 1, Shelly Mitchell arc here representing the Board of Coalition of Responsibk
Disabled (CO.R.D) on the matter of Barrier Removal in your city.
When the Americans with Disabilities Act went into effect, Spokane County knew they needed to
make changes in sidewalks and curb cuts so as to be in compliance with Accessible Standards.
Spokane County never complied
So nov4 it falls on thc City of Spokane Valley to become compliant with the Federal Regulations of
the ADA.
The sidewalks and lack of curb cuts in the city are dangerous, unsafe, and hazardous. Those living
with a disability, whose only way of being independent in the community is through the use of
mobility aids, are put at risk. We risk tipping over and falling backwards or forwards off curbs in our
wheelchairs Vie are also forced to go out into oncoming traffic to cross the street, which increases
the likelihood of being hit by a moving vehicle_ This is all because of not being able to cross at a
crosswalk safely because of no curb cuts or sidewalks.
Businesses have gotten by with not malting the necessary changes in implementing the minimal
standard of Access and Accessibility.
Even your own city codes have not been enforced. One example would be that of snow removal. We
believe that it is the city's responsibslity to educate and enforce non - compliancy. You would be
surprised at how many businesses in your city do not know they are responsible and liable if
someone, whether disabled or not, is injured on the sidewalk because they did not keep their
walkways cleat
We are requesting the City of Spokane Valley to comply with the Federal Mandates of the Americans
with Disabilities Act
We believe that after a reasonable time has parsed and there IA no action on thc part of the city to
comply. we will 6k with the ADA under Title fl against the city and under Title III against
businesses that are not in compliance.
We thank you for your time; we will be waiting to hear from you.
