PUBLIC COMMENTS: Meg Arpin, 1117 East 35` Spokane Valley, 99203: Said that in reference to the Pines /Mansfield situation, she wanted to bring the issue back to ensure it doesn't lose Council's attention; that she asks Council to discuss the issue with staff in terms of closing the gap that exists between the present funding and the increased cost that were the result of some errors on the part of WSDOT, and whether there is a monetary comfort level among council above the $55,000 that is already committed, but short obviously of the $900,000 shortfall previously reported; she asked Council to think about some number between Council's present commitment of $55,000 and the $900,000 so that all could move forward, sign mitigation agreements and issue permits; she expressed concern for the property owners who desire permits now; and that situations may not be the same three or four months from now; and that she would appreciate it if discussions did take place, and maybe additional direction be given to staff that whatever that figure might be, that there is some additional willingness to assume some risk over the next six years.

First Reading Proposed 2005 Annual Property Tax Ordinance 04 -041 - Ken Thompson After City Clerk Bainbridge read the Ordinance title, it was moved by Mayor DeVleming and seconded by Councilmember Schimmels to advance ordinance 04 -041 to a second reading. Director Thompson gave his PowerPoint presentation, and explained that state laws restrict the amount of property tax receipts that can flow to the City, to a 1.37% increase over the prior years, plus taxes generated by new construction, and that a separate ordinance must be passed by Council to declare the desire to receive the 1.37% increase. However, this first ordinance must be approved in order to get any property tax at all for next year. Mayor DeVleming invited public comment. Tony Lazanis, Spokane Valley: said he does not understand the percentage calculation or how that fits with the $1.60 rate. At Council direction, Director Thompson explained that we are allowed $1.60 per $1,000 assessed value; but there is an extra 50¢ to operate the library, and that the total tax rate will not exceed $2.10 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried. 4. First Reading Proposed Ordinance 04 -042 Confirming An Excess Property Tax Levy — Ken Thompson After City Clerk Bainbridge read the Ordinance title, it was moved by Mayor DeVleming and seconded by Deputy Mayor Wilhite to advance Ordinance 04 -042 to a second reading. Director Thompson explained that budget law states if you want to increase the dollars collected, a separate ordinance must be approved that states in dollar terms and as a percentage what that does to the taxes that you levy; for this one year only we are levying a 1.37% increase, which equals $126,681. Mayor DeVleming invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried. 5. Motion Consideration: Planning Commission Mayoral Appointments — Mayor DeVleming It was moved by Mayor DeVleming and seconded by Councilmember Denenny to appoint David Crosby and Bob Blum to the Planning Commission for three year terms each. Mayor DeVleming explained that there were only two applications for these two available positions, and both incumbent Planning Commission members submitted their application. Mayor DeVleming thanked Mr. Crosby and Mr. Blum for their past service, and for their willingness to serve again. Mayor DeVleming invited public comment. Bill Gothmann, 10010 East ; Planning Commission Chair, stated he has a recommendation letter on file and he recommends the applicants, and also expressed his gratitude adding that the applicants are invaluable to the commission. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried. 6. Motion Consideration: Authorize CenterPlace Change Order — Mike Jackson /Steve Worley It was moved by Mayor DeVleming and seconded by Councilmember Denenny to authorize the City Manager to approve the CenterPlace change order. Engineer Worley stated that this is a small change order, but because the amount places us so close to the amount authorized for City Manager authority, staff felt it best to bring this to Council; and that this change order includes office space and a server room to house necessary computer equipment. In response to Councilmember Denenny's question concerning housing staff at CenterPlace, City Manager Mercier said with this ten million dollar investment, staff felt it important to have a physical presence in that building, that the area will include storage space, and that building and City Hall will be networked for expedient communication. Mayor DeVleming invited public comment. Richard Behm, 3626 S Ridgeview, said he was confused about the funding received and questioned if we are justified in taking over that place and wanted to make sure we are not in violation of funding restrictions. City Manager Mercier said that from the origination of the project idea, it has always been known that City employees would need to occupy some space in that building; and when composing bonding for financing that building, our bond council did a detailed review of occupancy and it was his opinion that this fits well within the legal provisions. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried. Council Meeting Minutes: 10 -12 -04 Page 4 of 6 Approved: 10 -26 -04 7. Motion Consideration: Extension of Delegated Authority — Dave Mercier It was moved by Mayor DeVleming and seconded by Councilmember Schimmels to extend the authority of the City Manager, or designee, to grant right -of -way acquisitions. City Manager Mercier explained that this is more of a housekeeping item, that typically councils will delegate right -of -way transactions (as they relate to construction projects) to administrative staff; that in May 2003 such delegation was given to the City Manager but did not include the phrase "city manager or designee" and by so adding the designee this will be consistent with other authority delegated to him Mayor DeVleming invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried. PUBLIC COMMENTS: James Pollard, 17216 E Baldwin Ave, Greenacres, Wa: handed the City Clerk his letter addressing concerns about the north Greenacres area and the necessary steps toward due process; he said that with the rezoning by the County to UR7, the neighborhood petitioned to ask for a rezone, as of this date no answer has been received regarding the rezone; that meanwhile the area has been running through developers; he said that the Planning Commission held a hearing September 23, but the issue became confused and the Commission tabled the matter for two weeks; he said that he is now getting notices that at least one particular developer has entered an application for development, that he feels there will be nothing left of neighborhood by the time the City gets to this issue; that a lot of damage has been done, and that he had asked for a moratorium at one point but has not received a response and he feels the approach being taken does not follow GMA. Mayor DeVleming said Council will direct staff to research the issue and get a response back to Mr. Pollard as soon as possible. Mayor DeVleming invited further public comment; no further comments were offered. Mayor DeVleming called for a short recess at 7:10 p.m.; he reconvened the meeting at 7:20 p.m. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS: [no public comment] 8. Sign Code Committee Update — David Crosby Mr. Crosby explained that the Ad Hoc Sign Committee was charged with the review and update of the existing sign regulations, and added that the Committee has met on a regular basis since June 2004. Mr. Crosby's PowerPoint explained the background, the committee findings, the recommendations to date, and the next steps, which include staff drafting an ordinance for review of the committee and forward to CTED, an eventual public hearing before the Planning Commission, and then to Council for adoption consideration. 9. Code Report — Tom Scholtens Building Official Scholtens said there are two issues which need to be addressed: the Building Code and the Fire Code. Mr. Scholtens explained the issues as per his October 12, 2004 Request for Council Action, and afterwards remarked that we would need to amend our ordinance to conform with Washington State Code, and if Council desires, to amend the current ordinance to establish a greater hydrant spacing than currently provided, and to have fixed commercial hydrant spacing. After brief discussion, Council stated it has no objection to staff working toward these amendments; and suggested staff work with the fire department to modify the ordinance dealing with fire hydrant placement, and to have meetings with the Water Districts to participate in discussion of these issues. 10. Report on CDBG Project Ideas — Greg McCormick Long Range Planning Manager McCormick gave his PowerPoint presentation concerning Community Development Block Grants. Mr. McCormick reviewed the listed projects as shown on his October 12, 2004 Request for Council Action. He added that the County estimated that the CDBG program will have $1,500,000 in funds to allocate in 2005, and ended by explaining the next steps leading to funding. Mr. McCormick also stated that staff has contacted local school districts for potential projects, and is working with the Public Works Department for additional possible projects. Discussion ensued regarding specific Council Meeting Minutes: 10 -12 -04 Page 5 of 6 Approved: 10 -26 -04 projects, project objectives and definitions to qualify for the grants, and identified locations for proposed projects apparently in business areas. 11. Budget Discussion: Street Fund — Neil Kersten/Ken Thompson Public Works Director Kersten gave his PowerPoint presentation on the Street Fund budget; he mentioned that some of the costs noted will be moved to stormwater, like drywell repair and cleanout, culvert repair and cleanout, and Swale maintenance. After hearing the shortfall summary, Mr. Mercier added that we are not the only city with this type of problem as cities across the nation are dealing with similar issues. He proposed that in the next six- years, expenses would accelerate between six and eight percent; that there are other expenses corning such as increased prices for items purchased within the departments, and other factors to consider such as employer contribution of employee retirement, which is slated for a 4% increase effective July; and that there are a series of other increases over the next few years; he explained that as the County pays higher costs for their billings, some of that cost will be transferred as an increase to us. Discussion continued concerning the Consumer Index indicating the rising cost of living, and some of the problems associated with being a contract city. 12. CenterPlace Update — Mike Jackson /Steve Worley Parks and Recreation Director Jackson explained some of the key considerations as the construction of CenterPlace continues; he discussed auditorium audio - visual equipment, anticipated change orders, upcoming contracts for furnishings and kitchen equipment, the overall construction budget, and anticipated needed CenterPlace staff. 13. Centennial Trail Maintenance — Mike Jackson Parks and Recreation Director Jackson said that this is a first touch on the issue of the trail maintenance. Director Jackson explained that we have been invited to join a partnership with the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, Spokane County, and the City of Spokane to maintain the trail, and we are being asked to accept maintenance responsibility for the 6.8 miles of trail within our city limits. The invitation from the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission states that it is exploring the possibilities offered by such a partnership, and would include all agencies in the decision - making protocols of the various jurisdictions; that there is currently a 40 -year Interagency Cooperative Agreement that governs the trail management and sets forth responsibilities of the respective parties. The question before Council is whether we must participate during the year 2005; do we want to be a full partner, should the agreement be re- negotiated and if so, to what extent. In response to Councilmember Flanigan's question concerning use of local hotel/motel lodging funds, Attorney Schwartz said he will examine that issue and respond back to council with his findings. City Manager Mercier said other issues to consider and research include who has basic responsibility to maintain the trail, when was it installed, and what were the contractual obligations at the time the agreement was adopted; what is the appropriate division of responsibility between governmental agencies for various parts of the facilities; and that we need to ensure we have full understanding of all responsibilities contained in the agreement, and build up a fact basis before determining which way to go regarding trail responsibility. There being no further business, it was moved by Councilmember Flanigan, seconded, and unanimously agreed upon to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 8:55 p.m. Christin- Bainbridge, City Clerk Council Meeting Minutes: 10 -12 -04 Approved: 10 -26 -04 Michael DeVleming, Mayor Page 6 of 6 NAME PLEASE PRINT ADDRESS TELEPHONE ') 6--07-se- �wnh• wk/ # S 72Z- ze},- r -� ,`' 1 /v / I -s-is-Tr _____1 (r ^J Z V 11— -i S 1� 1 e N PUBLIC COMMENT SIGN -IN SHEET TOPIC: PROPOSED 2005 BUDGET SPOKANE VALLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: October 12, 2004 All persons wishing to speak at a PUBLIC COMMENT must sign in with your name and address for the record.
