entities regarding animal control and that the group is exploring the possibility of creating one agency that
would handle all of Spokane County to include the governments of Spokane County, City of Spokane
Valley, Spokane City, and perhaps Liberty Lake. Such an agency could aid in reduction of expenses for
all involved; that the County will be holding a public hearing September 2nd regarding increasing fines for
failure to license dogs. Councilmember Flanigan also gave a financial report of the incorporation
celebration, stating that donations and sold tickets minus cost of the celebration left a balance in the black;
and he thanked all who worked on the celebration.
Councilmember Schimmels reported he attended a light rail meeting in Portland, and although he was
impressed with Portland's system, he feels a light rail is premature for Spokane Valley at this time; he
suggests staff work this concept into the comprehensive plan, but keep the right -of -way options open for
the long term. Councilmember Schimmels also attended the I -90 ground breaking which project should
provide about 100 jobs.
Councilmember Munson met with a combined group of citizens, council, and staff working with five
bidders for the City's website; that they were unable to come to a final decision and asked three of the
bidders to give the group a demonstration of their product and that process is underway; he stated the
committee is being careful to make sure we have the best quality product in order to keep the community
apprised of city activities via the webpage.
Councilmember Denenny reported that the CBB Board met to discuss a trip to Calgary in conjunction
with the international trade lines to participate in tourist promotion and exchange programs.
Councilmember Denenny also reported that he, Councilmember Taylor and Deputy Mayor Wilhite
attended the change of command ceremony at Fairchild. Councilmember Denenny also reminded council
of the get- together at his place at Spirit Lake, and that this is not a meeting but strictly a social function.

Committee will need to open a position, but that we are making the position available for him should that
slot become open. It was moved by Mayor DeVleming and seconded by Councilman Munson to
confirm Councilman Denenny to the STA Board when that position becomes available for a one-year

public comment. None was offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None.
Abstentions: None. Motion carried
8b. Motion to Authorize Expenditure for Stage at Mirabeau Point. [added agenda item] Parks and
Recreation Director Mike Jackson said when this stage proposal was originally brought to council, the
construction cost was estimated at $70,000; however, Eller Corporation now estimates the cost at
$98,345.48. Jackson said that although the County maintains this property, he wanted Council to be
aware of this cost increase and to approve the stage construction at this cost. It was moved by Mayor
DeVleming and seconded by Councilmember Munson to approve the construction of Mirabeau Stage
at the revised cost. Parks & Recreation Director Jackson said he was informed the cost difference is due
to a low original estimate from the architect, and that the contactor's estimate was more accurate.
Councilmember Munson said since the County has not yet transferred Mirabeau Point to the City of
Spokane Valley, and that this is being paid for by a grant that is not coming from the City Valley's
budget, he questions why this is an issue now. City Manager Mercier explained that at a former meeting,
County Parks & Recreation Director Doug Chase explained that the bids taken to -date on the project
suggested that there may be some residual funds left over, and they were verbally sorting through some
options of how to use those funds, and Council found interest in seeing the construction of a stage on that
site; because that matter had previously come before Council and Council indicated its willingness to
have the County spend the $70,000 for that particular facility, staff felt it was prudent to now inform
Council of the increased change in that improvement, and to determine if Council still believes that the
stage should be installed on that site, and that we will convey that sentiment to the county. Jackson said
there would still be $150,000 left toward the construction budget even with these changes, and that the
County is managing this project. He added that this vote is simply an advisory vote. Mayor DeVleming
asked for public comment.

Date Approved by Council: 08 -26 -03
Richard Trentwood, 13213 E. Rich Avenue: Stated his concerns about the lack of parking or access to the

which has parking.

PUBLIC COMMENT: Mayor DeVleming invited other public comment. None was offered.
PENDING LEGISLATION: None
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
9. Mirabeau Point Project Discussion. City Manager Mercier explained that this presentation will
provide updated figures to include cost of operating the facility CenterPlace as well as updated figures
associated with the development cost. Deputy City Manager Regor's presentation explained the new
projected revenues and expenditures, which changes the estimated deficit from $455,000 to $22,000.
Deputy City Manager said what staff is looking for tonight is the direction on whether to proceed and
what information council would like from staff to help make that decision. Discussion ensued about
grounds maintenance, senior center projections, current senior center operation, the original vision of the
project, technical training section of the center, and overall project expenditures and the investment in
general. It was moved by Councilmember Munson and seconded by Deputy Mayor Wilhite that council
move forward with the project. Mayor DeVleming asked for public comment.
Angelo Bomben, 13005 Alki: said he disagrees that the general public is in favor of spending $7 million
on Mirabeau, that there are better ways to spend the money, perhaps for a senior center; that the deadline
dates are not real, and that the public should be sought out to see what they want.
[Councilmember Taylor left the room at 7:25 p.m., and returned at 7:30 p.m.]
Tony Lazanis, 10626 E. Trent: asked about the colleges' use of educational funding and who would be
paying for that. Councilmember Munson said the cost would come from the budget from the Spokane
Community Colleges, which is partially from state funding, and partially from other taxing authorities.
Ian Robertson, 1716 Ranchford Drive: encourages council to move ahead with this decision; feels this is a
great opportunity, that this of facility and project is unique, the center is needed, and he appreciates the
work of the council and staff.
Bruce Foreman, 5004 NKeller Rd: wants to make sure Council is confident they will be able to hold and
understand the budget; is interested in taxes staying the same or decreasing.
Pat Barton, 1105 N Stout: said the Great Room as projected will not be large enough to hold a high
school graduation.
Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Deputy Mayor Wilhite, Councilmembers Flanigan, Munson,
Denenny, Schimmels, and Taylor. Opposed: Mayor DeVleming. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
10. Franchise Ordinance Discussion Continuation
Deputy City Attorney Driskell continued discussion of his July 9 memo on the franchise ordinance
language:
#9 it was agreed to keep the language with the 30 days but that time can be extended as needed
on good cause shown; and to get input from the utilities to help decide the least expensive route.
#10 After discussion of receiving notice or requiring permission to abandon facilities (or both), it
was determined staff will research local law regarding the utility's duty concerning abandonment.

A Prayer for the Spokane City Council
Given by Pastor Bob Keneally
Executive Pastor
Grace Harvest Fellowship
Lord, ask that you would raise up, inside our hearts, an irrevocable
sense of pride in each one of these public servants for this wonderful
community we live. I pray that You would continue to move them to
attentively honor, serve and support the people in the Spokane Valley.
Show them ways to be excellent examples of integrity and dedication to
the community both in words and actions. Forgive us God when we
have all at times failed to be the standard you would desire us to be.
Remind us to be prayerful for the strength and preservation of our
community.
Fill our hearts with courage that we might be shining witnesses of Your
standards, and counted noble patriots of this blessed nation — America —
the land of the free and home of the brave.
Amen
Memo
To: Neil Kersten
From: Dick Thiel

Date: Aug. 12, 2003
Re Stiles Citizen Action Request
from the desk of
the City Engineer
The following is a summary of Mac's and my investigation of the concems expressed for the
truck traffic past the Stiles' property at Montgomery and Sargent, the alleged frequency of
accidents impacting their property, and the reported excessive speeding. Both Mac and I
and our Police Department have had several discussions with the Stiles regarding their
concerns, which have been voiced over a number of years. The attached photos can be
referenced with this summary.
Past actions have included signage to preclude truck traffic, except local deliveries, from
driving from Argonne on Montgomery to Knox, a natural truck bypass to avoid lights and
congestion on Argonne. The police have done considerable reconnaissance and
enforcement in this area, but the problem is a common one very hard to prevent An
argument can be made for this being an appropriate route for reasonable truck traffic. The
oomer of Montgomery and Sargent has been signed to highlight the curve; only one accident
at this intersection has been reported, involving alcohol. It is interesting to note that a
camping vehicle is parked at this approximate location on the dosed extension of
Montgomery adjacent to the Stiles property, in spite of the alleged collision potential.
Of the several options considered by the police and Public Works, only one seems to have
practical merit to erect an MUTCD Type 111 barricade across Montgomery at Sargent, as
sketched on the attached photo, to clearly identify the turn in the road. This is a breakaway,
wooden barricade that should not constitute a safety hazard, but, as such, is likely to be
moved or vandalized. This proposal has been discussed with the County's traffic engineer,
our own traffic engineer, and the Stiles, and has been deemed to be a reasonable approach
to increased traffic control at this intersection. Continued surveillance and enforcement by
City police is also recommended.
A work request for this barricade has been submitted to the County, and the barricade should
be in place soon.

Cary Driskell
City of Spokane Valley
11707 East Sprague Avenue
Spokane Valley, Washington 99206
Dear Mr. Driskell:
DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY
The civilian component of the U.S. Coast Guard
(Authorized by Congress In 1939)
Office of the Flotilla Commander
Flotilla 82 (13 -08)
Dedicated to promoting recreational boating safety
Date: 8/11/03
Thank you for this opportunity to comment on the proposed City of Spokane Valley Ordinance Establishing
Water Safety Regulations.
The United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is the civilian arm of the United States Coast Guard. One of our
charges is the promotion of recreational boating safety. We work to accomplish safe boating through both
boater education and operational activities.
The comments below include a review by local members of the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary. The
comments below should not be construed as the official position of the United States Coast Guard, or as an
endorsement by the United States Coast Guard or the US Coast Guard Auxiliary of the proposed City of
Spokane Valley water safety ordinance.
The proposed ordinance appears to mirror the Spokane County Chapter 6.03 Boating Safety Ordinance
with a few minor changes to properly reflect the authority and jurisdiction of the City of Spokane Valley.
Different jurisdictions enforcing the same rules should make it easier for the boating public to understand and
comply with ordinance.
Section 4(1) Speed Restrictions states that: No person shall operate a vessel at a speed greater than fifty
miles per hour on any waterway ". This corresponds to the Spokane County ordinance and the City of
Spokane ordinance. While all three jurisdictions have a similar speed limit of 50 miles per hour, we feel that
given the course of the rive, the width of the river, navigational hazards in the river, competing uses of the
river, the amount of maneuvering space needed for reaction time, and the potential for serious accidents, that
this speed is excessively dangerous. Speed should be based on conditions of the vessel, the environment in
which is operating, and the condition and experience of the operator of the vessel. A maximum speed of 25 to
30 miles per hour could be excessive in certain portions of the Spokane River at certain times of the year.
Section 4(2) and 4(3) appear to be in conflict. Section 4(2) requires that a vessel cannot be operated in
excess of wake speed within 100 feet of any shoreline, moving or stationary vessel. swimmer, S.C.U.B.A., dive
flag or buoy line. Section 4(3) allows a vessel to be operated in excess of wake speed within 50 feet of any
shoreline, other vessel, swimmer and buoy line if the river has a width of 200 feet or less. This does not make
sense. As the river gets narrower; the risks are increased and become more concentrated. There is less
space and less time to react to hazardous conditions or situations. There is Tess space to separate other
vessels, persons and activities. The rivers navigable channel will also dictate where the vessels can operate
/

in that narrowed area which may further constrict a safe buffer between vessels. persons, and activities.
You may want to consider deleting section 4(3) for both safety and environmental reasons.
Section 6 Water Siding is comprised of five good sections. It would be useful to add two
additional sections that are included in the state of Washington's requirements: a new section (6) should
read "Every vessel toning a person on water skis or other devices must have on board in addition to the
operator, a person capable of observing the person being towed and reports the progress to the
operator ". A new section (i) would read "a vessel towing a person(s) or water skier(S) or similar
device(s) must carry a skier down flag whenever the towed person(s) is preparing to ski or has fallen into
the water. Remote operated personal water craft (PWC) designed to be operated by a towed person must
have a skier down flag attached to the PWC'. The skier down flag consists of a 12' hr 12" brilliant
orange or red flag on a 24 inch flag pole. The flag must he held up so that it is visible from all directions
whenever the skier(s) are in the water."
To make thc ordinance clear for the boating public, it could include a section on operating a vessel
while intoxicated prohibited, a section on negligent operation. and a section on reckless operation.
This concludes our comments on your proposed water safety ordinance. We believe that
education and enforcement should make for a safer and more enjoyable boating and recreational experience
for the citizens of thc City of Spokane Valley and surrounding users of the Spokane River.
Thank you again for this opportunity to comment on your proposed water safety ordinance. If you
have any questions concerning our comments please contact Stan Walthall, Flotilla 82 Commander at 536-
6388: Jo Ann Hall_ Division 8 Vice Captain at 924-3402; or Dennis Hoppman. Division 8 Captain at 468-

BOARD MINUTES
July 9, 2003
President Ron Utecht called the meeting to order at 7:30 P.M. Board Members
Howard Peuck, Gary Schimmels and Rod Maki were present. Jim Parker with
A.E.S. and Manager Bob Ashcraft were also present.
The June 11, 2003 Board Meeting minutes were reviewed and upon a motion by
Howard Peuck, second by Rod Maki and a unanimous vote, were approved.
The current bills and the financial reports were reviewed. Upon a motion by Gary
Schimmels, second by Rod Maki and a unanimous vote, the financial reports were
accepted and the bills were approved for payment.
The Manager reviewed continued problems with the U.P.S. (Un- interruptible
Power Source) units at the various well sites and booster stations. He also noted
that we continue to have problems with pressure controls at various well sites.
Jim Parker with A.E.S. reviewed their previous proposals for safeguarding against
U.P.S. failures and installation of pressure transducers in the 50,000 gallon
overhead tanks. He noted that three recent U.P.S. failures (one occurred just prior
to the Board meeting) caused multiple starts and could seriously damage motors.
A lengthy discussion followed regarding projected costs and solutions. Jim Parker
left the meeting at 8:30 p.m. The Board continued to discuss the proposals and
upon a motion by Gary Schimmels, second by Rod Maki and a unanimous vote,
approved the proposal from A.E.S. to install an under voltage sensor /timer and
latching relay that would isolate the defective U.P.S., switch the voltage source to
line voltage and send an alarm to the main office. The defective U.P.S. could then
be replaced by District employees. The cost per each well site is $600.
The installation of pressure transducers in the overhead tanks was reviewed.
Previous estimates were compared to the current A.E.S. proposal of $3,600 /well
site. The Manager was instructed to obtain detailed material and labor breakdowns
so that a decision can be made at the August Board meeting as to whether to install
the pressure transducers.
The proposal for the replacement of the old dash pot overload relays with solid
state electronic relays was tabled.
The Manager noted that the City of Spokane Valley has begun the process of
issuing franchise agreements for utilities. A copy of our present agreement with
Spokane County and Washington State D.O.T. has been sent to the City. The
District's position is that the agreements cover the distribution system and a
separate franchise agreement is not required. Also the agreement is between the
County and US Bureau of Reclamation, as the Bureau is the legal owner of the
system.
The EPA requirement for vulnerability assessments and emergency response
planning was reviewed. The Manager noted that training sessions are being
conducted by the Evergreen Rural Water Association (funded by EPA). The
District must complete the assessment by 6/30/04 and the response plan by
12/31/04.

Board Meeting Minutes
July 9, 2003
Potential annexations involving lands north of Trent and west of Lynden and north
of Trent just east of Wheeler's Produce were reviewed. The owners (Wheelers) of
the property northeast of Wheeler's Produce requested a temporary Outside
District Water Service Contract approval prior to the annexation being completed.
The Board indicated they would favor the issuance of the contract when the owners
actually filed a petition.
The area west of Lynden and north of Trent has potential pressure problems. The
Manager indicated that he provided the owners with approximate costs and
methods of water service. He also informed the owners that an engineering study
would have to be done and paid for by the owners to determine the affect of water
service pressure to existing District customers in the area.
The Manager noted that Phil Schmidt with Haywire Farms paid for a four (4) inch
irrigation meter installation to serve 14 acres out of District. The area is located
east of Inland Empire Paper Company's land within the District north of I -90 and
east of Campbell Rd. extended. The contract for outside District water will be for
one year only.
The Manager reviewed current field activities which included: completion of air
valve maintenance, valve exercising, new service installations and repairs, well site
spraying and flushing mains.
There being no further business and upon a motion by Howard Peuck, second by
Gary Schimmels and a unanimous vote the meeting adjourned at 9:45 p.m.
