and
WHEREAS, the City purchased 8.4 acres of real property in October 2012 in an area generally
referred to as being bounded by Sprague Avenue on the south, Herald Road on the west,Main Avenue on
the north, and Balfour Park on the east, The intent of the purchase was to provide a site for an expanded
park for the City, and a proposed new library for SCLD. Prior to that purchase, the City entered into an
interlocal agreement (the Agreement) with SCLD on September 27, 2012 whereby in the event the City
purchased the 8.4 acres, it would transfer at least 2.5 acres to SCLD, with SCLD being able to purchase
up to an additional one acre. SCLD paid the City$744,047 for 2.5 acres on or about October 31, 2012. A
Joint Site Development Plan was done to determine how much additional land SCLD would require to
accommodate its needs, and the conclusion was .32 acres for a total area of 2.82 acres needed by SCLD.
The cost to SCLD for the additional .32 acres is$95,238.10; and

WHEREAS, paragraph four of the Agreement entered into by the City and SCLD states that title
to the property would be in the name of the City initially, until such time as it was determined how much
additional property, if any, SCLD would need as well as its exact location; and
WHEREAS, at the time the City purchased the property, there were four parcels making up the
8.4 acre site, Spokane County parcel numbers 45174.9053, 45174.9054, 45174.9055, and 45174.9056.
Two of the parcels were unbuildable, with 45174.9055 (along the entire north border)being 15 feet wide,
and 45174.9056 (along the entire west border) being 20 feet wide. On January 13, 2014, the City
completed a boundary line adjustment whereby one parcel was eliminated, and the boundaries for the
remaining three parcels were adjusted. Until new parcel numbers are assigned by the Spokane County
Assessor's Office and recorded with the Spokane County Auditor's Office, the three resulting parcels are
being referred to as Parcel C (belonging to SCLD at 2.82 acres), Parcel B (belonging to the City at 1,17
acres), and Parcel A (belonging to the City at 5.30 acres). A record of survey was recorded at the
Spokane County Auditor's office under recording number 6278683; and
WHEREAS, this transaction with SCLD does not affect the City's ownership of the two parcels
comprising the current Balfour Park; and
