6. INFORMATION:
a. Mayoral Appointments: None requiring council confirmation.
b. Staff Reports:
1. Proposed Water Safety Ordinance: Deputy City Attorney Driskell explained that this was
brought to our attention from the City Police Department, that we have not adopted a water safety
ordinance, although the county has one in place. Driskell explained that tonight's draft presents two
options on personal flotation devices: (1) taking the language from the appropriate RCW, and (2) City of
Spokane's requirement on personal flotation devices [see section 3]. Discussion then turned to speed
restrictions and age requirements. Police Chief Walker explained the current law and historical
perspective. Council reached the following consensus: keep the language consistent with the County's
regulations regarding 14 year -olds, but meet with County officials to consider their raising the age to 16;
research other communities' policies concerning moving bodies of water; section 3 personal flotation
devices language to remain the same as the County; and bring the ordinance forward to the next meeting
for consideration of first reading.
2. Hotel /Lodging Revenue Discussion: Councilmember Flanigan said that 26 proposals were
received in response to the recent Request for Proposals for Activities to Increase Tourism in Spokane
Valley. Councilmember Flanigan also mentioned he is working with David Mercier and Cary Driskell
regarding a legal response as to what can actually be funded; that the goal is to meet the first part of next
week as a committee to review all proposals, and that the ultimate disbursement of the funds will be the
responsibility of council. After further discussion regarding choosing recipients of funds, council
suggested choosing a blend of entities to have some dealing with marketing, advertising and promotions,
and others dealing with events and facilities.
3. Mirabeau Point Project Discussion: City Manager Mercier and Deputy City Manager Regor
said that after last week's report, staff was to follow up on details and present more information as it
became available. Deputy City Manager Regor explained the details of the senior center cost project and
discussed the overall details on the project timeline, comparing the cost of the new center versus the
senior center costs. Parks and Recreation Director Mike Jackson said staff also has some comparisons
with other communities' senior centers. Discussion turned to an apparent duplication of efforts in
maintenance costs and Regor responded that she will examine contracting those services versus providing
the services in- house. Several councilmembers said the figures were daunting, and Deputy City Manager
Regor said costs can be minimized in accordance with council direction. Discussion turned to the idea of
the great room as originally presented; i.e., that this would be a facility to seat about 750 with a stage for
plays, music presentations, etc. It was mentioned that we do not want another banquet room nor do we
want to have a facility designed to compete with privately owned facilities.
Mayor DeVleming asked for public comment.
Council Minutes 07 -22 -03 Page 3 of 4
Date Approved by Council: 08 -12 -03
Tony Lazanis 10626 E Trent said that Mirabeau was planned for holding large gatherings which would
generate revenues in hotels and restaurants, that we have auditoriums but now need a place for larger
gatherings
Jeff Fox General Manager for Doubletree in Spokane Valley said his facility is the only full service hotel
that has banquet space in the area, said he understood we were looking for a facility that will bring in
people and create something that will fulfill the need in our market of a large space that will in turn
generate more tourism
Ian Robertson 1716 Ranchford Drive said as a member of the Planning Commission, there is a concern
to get more property back on the tax rolls which adds to the overall economic base, that Council needs to
allow citizens to succeed in business and create a climate favorable for business, that running a building
like this might be better done by a for - profit or non - profit organization as they have the ability of greater
flexibility in managing this and can react more quickly to issues, only saw the expense side and would be
interested in seeing the income side
It was council consensus that for the next council meeting, the design team will confirm the design per
council direction and architects and others to determine cost options, staff will analyze cost projections
and reduce some costs where appropriate, Bond Attorney Ormsby will discuss what qualifies for
reimbursement, and that Mayor DeVleming desires to see projected costs to get the Great Room back to
the 1,000 estimated capacity
Status of Previous Public Comments City Manager Mercier explained that included in the council
packet are staff reports addressing each of the elements raised at the prior city council meeting Long
Range Planning Manager Greg McCormick explained his memo of July 17 addressing the concerns of
Joanne Boyer regarding duplexes, and that Ms Boyer was invited and attended the Planning Commission
meeting In response to the street light issue, City Manager Mercier explained that staff is now preparing
options for the August 19 meeting regarding street lighting policies, including legal responsibilities,
budgetary provisions, and how to best assess when additional street lights are required in any given area
Traffic issues previously brought by Ms Stiles were addressed in Cal Walker's July 17 memo outlining
the continuous traffic problem, that staff continues to search for other options that might help improve the
situation, and that further reports will be given at the next regular council meeting
Administrative Reports City Manager Mercier explained that the Departments will begin to assemble
information to better inform council of activities at a department level, and to periodically seek council
advice of what council would like to see to make sure our monthly reports meet the information needs,
and that the intent is to deliver these reports at the second regular meeting each month City Manager
Mercier also mentioned several upcoming events including the December meeting of the National League
of Cities
It was moved, seconded, and unanimously agreed upon to adjourn The meeting adjourned at 8 35 p m
