PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Staff has provided numerous administrative reports on the legalization of marijuana since March, 2013. City Council adopted regulations regarding restrictions on recreational marijuana on July 22, 2014. City Council adopted a moratorium on unlicensed marijuana use on December 9, 2014. BACKGROUND: After the passage of Initiative 502 (1-502) in 2012, the City engaged in an extended process to review the impact and implications of the legalization of recreational marijuana. The City adopted interim regulations in February 2014 and adopted final regulations on July 22, 2014 governing the siting, zoning, and restrictions on recreational marijuana production, processing, and retail sales licensed by the Washington Liquor Control Board (LCB). In addition to 1-502 and recreational marijuana, RCW 69.51A, which was initially passed as an initiative in 1998, provides a structure for qualified patients to obtain a medical marijuana card that permits them to obtain, possess and use medical marijuana. In 2011, the Legislature attempted to fully legalize medical marijuana dispensaries and provide a State registry for qualified patients, collective gardens, and designated providers. However, Governor Gregoire vetoed all sections that would have created legalized medical marijuana dispensaries and the State registry, thereby leaving an uncertain structure in place for medical marijuana. As it currently stands, RCW 69.51A does not permit legal dispensaries and provides an affirmative defense to qualified patients, designated providers, and collective gardens. There is no licensing of any medical marijuana by the LCB as there is for recreational marijuana under 1-502. 1-502 further made it illegal to consume marijuana in view of the general public. However, there are apparent gaps that allow private consumption businesses to operate. These businesses are not regulated or licensed by the LCB. In 2014, the Legislature considered, but did not pass, a bill that would have reconciled both recreational and medical marijuana. Staff expects that the Legislature will consider numerous aspects of marijuana laws in the upcoming 2015 legislative session, including the reconciliation of medical and recreational marijuana. While the City considered and adopted regulations governing recreational marijuana, it did not initially adopt regulations related to medical marijuana due to the uncertainty surrounding the potential for State regulations and to the uncertain status of medical marijuana under RCW 69.51A. With the lack of regulatory oversight and significant gaps in State law over medical marijuana and private consumption lounges, staff determined there exists the strong potential for abuse of the medical marijuana market. There has been an increase in the number of medical marijuana business registration applications in 2014 as well as a broadening of the scope of activities sought. The City Council adopted an item in its 2015-2017 Legislative Agenda indicating it would support State legislation over the reconciliation of medical and recreational marijuana, additional regulations over private marijuana consumption businesses, and regulations governing underage marijuana consumption. Given the uncertainty surrounding marijuana uses that are not currently licensed by the LCB, the lack of regulation over such uses, and the shift towards more medical marijuana activities, staff believed a moratorium was appropriate on all marijuana uses that are not licensed or regulated by the LCB in order to allow the City to research appropriate final regulations, up to and including bans over such unlicensed marijuana uses, to limit the potential for abuse of such uses, and to further limit access of marijuana to minors. Further, a moratorium allows the City to determine what, if any, laws the Legislature might adopt in 2015 and the impact of those laws on the City. RCW 36.70A.390 authorizes the City to adopt a moratorium on unlicensed marijuana uses without conducting a public hearing and without utilizing the City's standard approval process through the Planning Commission, and multiple readings by City Council. A moratorium preserves the status quo so that new plans and regulations will not be rendered moot by intervening development. After adoption of the moratorium, the City Council must conduct a public hearing on the moratorium within 60 days and adopt findings of fact for the moratorium. Additionally, pursuant to state law, a moratorium that includes a work plan may be effective for up to 365 days from the date of adoption. After adoption of the moratorium, final regulations must be proposed and processed through the City's standard process, including a proposal to the Planning Commission, Planning Commission recommendation to City Council, and multiple readings by City Council. The final regulations must be adopted prior to the expiration of the moratorium. Pursuant to the requirements of RCW 36.70A.390, on December 9, 2014, the City Council considered and adopted Ordinance No. 14-021, which established a moratorium on the submission, processing, modification, or approval of any permit applications or licenses by or for unlicensed marijuana use. Unlicensed marijuana use is defined as all marijuana use other than recreational marijuana production, processing, or retail sales licensed by the LCB and so includes all new medical marijuana dispensaries, collective gardens, and designated providers, and all private marijuana consumption businesses. The moratorium does not apply to personal use or personal medical use by qualified patients. The moratorium became effective upon approval by the City Council (on December 9, 2014), so it did not and does not impact the continued operation of existing businesses. The moratorium set January 27, 2015 as the date for a public hearing, established a work plan, adopted preliminary findings of fact, and established an effective period of up to 365 days for the moratorium. Finally, Ordinance No. 14- 021 was designated as a public emergency and was effective upon adoption. Staff has completed SEPA review of the moratorium and a Determination of Non -Significance ("DNS") was issued on December 19, 2014. No comments were received on the DNS. Pursuant to state law and Ordinance No. 14-021, the City Council will now conduct a public hearing on the moratorium. At the public hearing, the City Council will take public comment and at a subsequent meeting adopt findings of fact for the moratorium. Council may wish to consider suspending the rules and adopting the findings of fact after just one reading instead of the standard first and second readings since a public hearing will have been conducted.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON ORDINANCE NO. 14-021 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON, ADOPTING A MORATORIUM ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ALL MARIJUANA USES OTHER THAN MARIJUANA PRODUCERS, MARIJUANA PROCESSORS, AND MARIJUANA RETAIL SALES AS LICENSED BY THE WASHINGTON STATE LIQUOR CONTROL BOARD PURSUANT TO CHAPTER 6930 RCW AND REGULATED BY CHAPTER 19.85 SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE AND SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 19.120.050, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO. WHEREAS, since 1970, federal law has prohibited the manufacture and possession of marijuana as a Schedule I drug, based on the federal government's categorization of marijuana as having a "high potential for abuse, lack of any accepted medical use, and absence of any accepted safety for use in medically supervised treatment." Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S. 1, 14 (2005), Controlled Substance Act, 84 Stat. 1242, 21 U.S.C. 801 et seq; and WHEREAS, Initiative Measure No. 692, approved by the voters of Washington State on November 3, 1998, and now codified as chapter 69.51A RCW, created an affirmative defense for "qualifying patients" to the charge of possession of marijuana; and WHEREAS, in 2011, the Washington State Legislature considered and passed ESSSB 5073 that, among other things, (1) authorized the licensing of medical cannabis dispensaries, production facilities, and processing facilities, (2) permitted qualifying patients to receive certain amounts of marijuana for medicinal purposes from designated providers, (3) permitted collective gardens by qualifying patients whereby they may, consistent with state law, collectively grow marijuana for their own use, (4) and clarified that cities were authorized to continue to use their zoning authority to regulate the production, processing, or dispensing of marijuana under ESSSB 5073 and chapter 69.51A RCW within their respective jurisdictions; and WHEREAS, on April 29, 2011, former governor Christine Gregoire vetoed the portions of ESSSB 5073 that would have provided the legal basis for legalizing and licensing medical cannabis dispensaries, processing facilities, and production facilities, thereby making these activities illegal; and WHEREAS, on November 6, 2012, voters of the State of Washington approved Initiative Measure No. 502 ("I-502"), now codified in chapters 69.50, 46.04, 46.20, 46.21, and 46.61 Revised Code of Washington ("RCW"), which provisions, (1) decriminalized possession and use of certain amounts of marijuana and marijuana paraphernalia; (2) amended state laws pertaining to driving under the influence of intoxicants to include driving under the influence of marijuana; and (3) established a regulatory system licensing producers, processors, and retailers of recreational marijuana for adults 21 years of age and older, and required the Washington State Liquor Control Board (the "LCB") to adopt procedures and criteria by December 1, 2013 for issuing licenses to produce, process, and sell marijuana; and WHEREAS, on August 29, 2013, the United States Department of Justice issued a memo providing updated guidance on marijuana enforcement in response to the adoption of I-502. Several ongoing federal enforcement priorities were outlined, including prevention of crime and preventing distribution of marijuana to minors. Further, the memo provided that the Department would not seek ongoing prosecution of marijuana providers, users, and local officials in states that authorized marijuana, provided that those state and local governments "implement strong and effective regulatory and enforcement systems that will address the threat those state laws could pose to public safety, public Ordinance 14-021 Page 1 of 5 health, and other law enforcement interests. A system adequate to that task must not only contain robust controls and procedures on paper; it must also be effective in practice;" and WHEREAS, the LCB has established a comprehensive regulatory scheme for the licensing, operation, and enforcement of recreational marijuana production, processing, and retail sales shops under chapter 314-55 WAC; and WHEREAS, in 2014, the Washington State Legislature considered, but did not adopt E3SSB 5887 that would have reconciled the comprehensive state regulatory scheme for recreational marijuana under I-502 and the lack of regulatory oversight and controls over medical marijuana under chapter 69.51A RCW; and WHEREAS, the possession of medical marijuana, operation of collective gardens, and services provided by designated providers remain illegal under chapter 69.51A RCW and Cannabis Action Coalition v. City of Kent, 180 Wn. App. 455 (2014), cert. granted, with such activities only entitled to an affirmative defense; and WHEREAS, RCW 69.50.445 prohibits the opening of a package containing marijuana, useable marijuana, or a marijuana -infused product, or consumption of marijuana, useable marijuana, or a marijuana -infused product "within view of the general public," but does not otherwise regulate operation of any "private" marijuana consumption facility, "vaping" of marijuana extracts or oils, or other unlicensed marijuana operations; and WHEREAS, unlike recreational licensed marijuana production, processing, and retail sales under chapter 69.50 RCW, all other marijuana uses, including medical marijuana and businesses offering "private" consumption or "vaping," remain unlicensed marijuana uses that are largely unregulated and are not subject to review, licensing, or enforcement by the LCB; and WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature is likely to propose and consider legislation on medical marijuana in the upcoming 2015 Legislative session, but the City cannot determine what that legislation may provide or when or if it will be passed; and WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley Police have informally documented 45 marijuana -related crimes since November 13, 2013, with at least 30 of those involving persons under the age of 21; and WHEREAS on July 22, 2014, the City adopted Ordinance No. 14-008, which established in chapter 19.85 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code ("SVMC") and SVMC 19.120.050 regulations, zoning, buffers, and other limitations on marijuana producers, processors, and retail sellers licensed under chapter 69.50 RCW, but which did not regulate unlicensed marijuana uses; and WHEREAS, as of October 28, the City had at least 18 medical -marijuana related businesses registered within the City, all of which provide marijuana outside of the licensing, regulation, enforcement of the LCB, none of which are licensed marijuana producers, processors, or retail outlets under chapter 69.50 RCW, and none of which are subject to the City's regulations under SVMC 19.85 or SVMC 19.120.050; and WHEREAS, pursuant to Article 11, Section 11 of the Washington Constitution, the City of Spokane Valley is authorized to "make and enforce within its limits all such local police, sanitary and other regulations as are not in conflict with general laws," which includes the adoption of regulations governing land uses within the City; and WHEREAS, RCW 36.70A.390 provides that "A county or city governing body that adopts a moratorium, interim zoning map, interim zoning ordinance, or interim official control without holding a Ordinance 14-021 Page 2 of 5 public hearing on the proposed moratorium, interim zoning map, interim zoning ordinance, or interim official control, shall hold a public hearing on the adopted moratorium, interim zoning map, interim zoning ordinance, or interim official control within at least sixty days of its adoption, whether or not the governing body received a recommendation on the matter from the planning commission or department. If the governing body does not adopt findings of fact justifying its action before this hearing, then the governing body shall do so immediately after this public hearing. A moratorium, interim zoning map, interim zoning ordinance, or interim official control adopted under this section may be effective for not longer than six months, but may be effective for up to one year if a work plan is developed for related studies providing such a longer period. A moratorium, interim zoning map, interim zoning ordinance or interim official control may be renewed for one or more six-month periods if a subsequent public hearing is held and findings of fact are made prior to each renewal;" and WHEREAS, a moratorium enacted under RCW 35A.63.220 and/or RCW 36.70A.390 is a method by which local governments may preserve the status quo so that new plans and regulations will not be rendered moot by intervening development; and WHEREAS, RCW 35A.63.220 and RCW 36.70A.390 both authorize the enactment of a moratorium, interim zoning map, interim zoning ordinance, or interim official control prior to holding a public hearing; and WHEREAS, pursuant to WAC 197-11-880, the adoption of this Ordinance is exempt from the requirements of a threshold determination under the State Environmental Policy Act; and WHEREAS, the lack of regulatory oversight at any level over unlicensed marijuana uses, such as medical marijuana collective gardens, designated providers, and "private" marijuana consumption businesses, (1) creates a market for marijuana that is inconsistent with the highly regulated market established by licensed producers, processors, and retail sales by the LCB, (2) allows increased access to marijuana by minors, and (3) creates a risk to the public health, safety and welfare because of the lack of regulatory oversight and potential for abuse; and WHEREAS, on November 4, 2014, the City Council adopted its 2015-2017 Legislative Agenda, which included an item wherein the City Council stated it would "support the reconciliation of the recreational and medical marijuana statutes," "support development of one system that would regulate medical and recreational marijuana, (including the elimination of medical marijuana), in Washington State," and would "support State regulations which close gaps within current legislation: Vaping, edibles, oils, and `private' consumption/facilities; and under age possession and consumption;" and WHEREAS, additional time is necessary to allow the City to conduct appropriate research to analyze the allowance, siting, and necessary land -use regulations for unlicensed marijuana uses under existing state law, and to determine what, if any, regulations may be passed by the Washington State Legislature in the upcoming 2015 legislative session regarding unlicensed marijuana uses and the impact of such laws on unlicensed marijuana uses within the City; and WHEREAS, a moratorium will provide the City with additional time to review and amend its public health, safety, and welfare requirements and zoning and land use regulations related to the establishment and operation of unlicensed marijuana uses; and WHEREAS, Washington State law, including RCW 35A.63.220 and RCW 36.70A390, authorizes the City to adopt a moratorium, provided the City conducts a public hearing on the moratorium within 60 days of the date of adoption of the moratorium; and WHEREAS, the City has authority to establish a moratorium concerning the establishment and operation of unlicensed marijuana uses as a necessary stop -gap measure: (1) to provide the City with an Ordinance 14-021 Page 3 of 5 opportunity to study the issues associated with allowing, siting, and regulating unlicensed marijuana uses, including determining what, if any, regulations are passed by the Washington State Legislature in the upcoming 2015 legislative session and the impacts of those laws upon unlicensed marijuana uses; (2) to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the City of Spokane Valley by avoiding and ameliorating negative impacts and unintended consequences of additional unlicensed marijuana; and (3) to avoid applicants possibly establishing vested rights contrary to and inconsistent with any revisions the City may make for its rules and regulations as a result of the City's study of this matter; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the moratorium imposed and established by this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public health, public safety, public property and public peace. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley ordains as follows: Section 1. Preliminary Findings. The City Council hereby adopts the above recitals as findings of fact in support of this Ordinance. Section 2. Moratorium Established. A.

C. "Unlicensed marijuana use" does not and shall not include any personal possession or use of marijuana, marijuana -infused products, marijuana extracts, marijuana concentrates, marijuana oils, or other form of product containing or derived from marijuana and intended for human use by any person pursuant to chapter 69.50 RCW or by any qualifying patient pursuant to RCW 69.51A.040. D. Nothing herein shall affect the processing or consideration of any existing and already - submitted complete land -use or building permit applications that may be subject to vested rights as provided under Washington law.

Does the City Council really not know anything about want they are doing? We lose 450,000 people to tobacco in this nation every year. We lose 85,000 people to alcohol each year. We lose 7000 people to aspirin every year. Do you know how many people have died from marijuana in the last 50 years? None! Look it up if you don't believe me. Over the last 25 years 150,000,000 Americans have smoked marijuana. The great majority of these people are not now using drugs so it is not a gateway drug. Newest studies place marijuana as less then 1/10 as debilitating as alcohol. Where they have had easy access to medical marijuana the death rate in the 18 to 34 year old group has dropped on average over 9% probably because marijuana is so much less debilitating then alcohol. The real health emergency is not have marijuana around. Shouldn't you study the subject a little before you fly off the handle like this?

I am a business owner and have been for 25 years and life resident of Spokane. Attached are facts you should consider before allowing or considering a Moratorium against marijuana or cannabis. Thank you Kevin jacobs Proprietor and inventor 1 Marijuana: The Facts Marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in the U.S. and the world,'' and was a well-established medicine until it was federally criminalized in 1937."' A majority of Americans believe marijuana should be legally regulated. Quick Facts • More than forty-five percent of American adults report that they have used marijuana.1v • Marijuana has been consumed for at least 5,000 years and has a long history of traditional uses throughout Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas." • The marijuana plant contains more than 70 compounds, called cannabinoids, in its leaves and flowers." The most commonly known of these cannabinoids is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is psychoactive. However, there are numerous non -psychoactive, yet highly therapeutic cannabinoids in marijuana as well."' • U.S. marijuana policy is unique among American criminal laws — no other law is enforced so widely and harshly, yet deemed unnecessary by such a substantial portion of the population. • The price tag of marijuana prohibition is currently estimated at $20 billion per year, including costs to law enforcement and lost potential tax revenue.`"id We are the Drug Policy Alliance. • Recent polls suggest that between 46% and 58% of the American population believe marijuana should be legally regulated, while support for allowing the medical use of marijuana is about 80%.i( • Twenty-three states and Washington D.C. have approved the medical use of marijuana, 16 states and D.C. have decriminalized its use, and in 2012 Colorado and Washington voters made their states the first political jurisdictions anywhere in the world to legally regulate the production and distribution of marijuana.

There is no evidence that implementing medical marijuana laws impacts the rate of adolescent use. A common concern raised by people opposed to removing marijuana from the illicit market is the impact on teen marijuana use. Several recent reports have examined that question and found that, in the majority of medical marijuana states, youth used decreased after the medical marijuana law was passed. This has been attributed to a diminishing of the "forbidden fruit" effect, and decreased access as marijuana moved from the streets to inside licensed dispensaries.x A recent study sought to determine the effect of medical marijuana laws on adolescent marijuana use. The authors concluded, "Our results are not consistent with the hypothesis that the legalization of medical marijuana caused an increase in the use of marijuana and other substances among high school students. In fact, estimates from our preferred specification are small, consistently negative, and are never statistically distinguishable from zero. Using the 95 percent confidence interval around these estimates suggests that the impact of legalizing medical marijuana on the probability of marijuana use in the past 30 days is no larger than 0.8 percentage points, and the impact of legalization on the probability of frequent marijuana use in the past 30 days is no larger than 0.7 percentage points."xi In addition to the impact on youth use, the decriminalization of marijuana has not been found to have an impact on adult use.70i A study conducted by the Institute of Medicine concluded, "In sum, there is little evidence that decriminalization of marijuana use necessarily leads to a substantial increase in marijuana use."xiii Is marijuana a gateway drug? Most marijuana users never use any other illicit drug. Marijuana is the most popular and easily accessible illegal drug in the United States today. Therefore, people who have used less accessible drugs such as heroin, cocaine and LSD, are likely to have also used marijuana. Most marijuana users never use any other illegal drug, and the vast majority of those who do try another drug never become addicted or go on to have associated problems. Indeed, for the large majority of people, marijuana is a terminus rather than a so-called gateway drug.xi" New evidence suggests that marijuana can function as an "exit drug" helping people reduce or eliminate their use of more harmful drugs by easing withdrawal symptoms.x" Are more people becoming dependent on marijuana? Rates of marijuana dependence have not increased over the past 10 years. A landmark, Congressionally -mandated Institute of Medicine study found that fewer than 10 percent of those who try marijuana ever meet the clinical criteria for dependence, while 32 percent of tobacco users and 15 percent of alcohol users do.x`^ As a result of treatment -instead -of -incarceration policies implemented over the past two decades to stem the skyrocketing U.S. prison population, marijuana treatment admissions referred by the criminal justice system rose from 48 percent in 1992 to 52 percent in 2011.x`ii Just 45 percent of people who enter marijuana treatment meet the criteria for marijuana dependence. More than a third hadn't used marijuana in the 30 days prior to admission for treatment. Many people are "discovered" due to the smell of marijuana and forced to choose between jail and treatment. Treatment providers support drug courts because they ensure a steady stream of clients. Even with this increase in court -mandated marijuana treatment, only 1.1% of marijuana users 12 and older in 2011 went to treatment for it. Twice as many people were arrested for simple marijuana possession that year than entered treatment for marijuana dependence (750,000 vs. 333,578).x`iii Increases in treatment access and emergency room visits related to marijuana use can be the result of the decriminalization of marijuana Drug Policy Alliance 1 131 West 33rd Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10001 Page 2 nyc@drugpolicy.org 1 212.613.8020 voice j 212.613.8021 fax consumers and the destigmatization of marijuana use. Both of these phenomena would result in consumers feeling more comfortable admitting use and seekig help related to their use. Does marijuana use have long-term cognitive effects? Marijuana does not cause long-term cognitive impairment in users that start after 21 years old. The short-term effects of marijuana include immediate, temporary changes in thoughts, perceptions and information processing. The cognitive process most clearly affected by marijuana is short-term memory. In laboratory studies, subjects under the influence of marijuana have no trouble remembering things they learned previously. However, they temporarily display diminished capacity to learn and recall new information. This diminishment only lasts for the duration of the intoxication. There is no convincing evidence that heavy long-term marijuana use permanently impairs memory or other cognitive functions.1" A recent, large-scale, longitudinal study of adult marijuana users corroborates earlier findings that marijuana produces no long-term negative effects on cognition, stating, "The adverse impacts of cannabis use on cognitive functions either appear to be related to pre-existing factors or are reversible ... even after potentially extended periods of use.°'°t However, it is not recommended that adolescents use marijuana unless under the care of a physician, as some research suggests potentially negative cognitive effects for adolescents who use marijuana. It is recommeded that individuals delay their marijuana use until adulthood. What is the relationship between marijuana and cancer? Marijuana use is not associated with elevated cancer risk as shown in preclinical studies. Several longitudinal studies have established that even long-term marijuana smoking is not associated with elevated cancer risk, including tobacco -related cancers or with colorectal, lung, melanoma, prostate, breast or cervix. A 2009 population -based case -control study found that moderate marijuana smoking over a 20 -year period was associated with reduced risk of head and neck cancer.'°° And a five -year-long population -based case -control study found even Tong -term heavy marijuana smoking was not associated with lung cancer or upper aerodigestive tract cancers.»1 In fact, some of the chemicals in marijuana, such as THC and especially CBD, have been found to induce tumor cell death and show potential as effective tools in treating cancer." Scientists who have conducted this type of research, such as UCLA's Donald Tashkin, hypothesize that the anti -oxidant properties of cannabis might override any cancer causing chemicals found in marijuana smoke, therefore protecting the body against the impact of smoking. »° Newer research indicates that marijuana has anti-cancer properties and could one day unlock new cancer treatments.'" Moreover, marijuana smoking is not associated with any other permanent lung harms, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), emphysema or reduced lung function — even after years of frequent use.70N1 Does marijuana affect mental health? The majority of adults who use marijuana do not have adverse mental health issues. Many opponents of medical marijuana make much of the purported link between marijuana use and mental illness. But there is simply no compelling evidence to support the claim that marijuana is a causal risk factor for developing a psychiatric disorder in otherwise healthy individuals.'"'il Most tellingly, population -level rates of schizophrenia or other psychiatric illnesses have remained flat even when marijuana use rates have increased. "" Emerging evidence indicates that patients who have tried marijuana may show significant improvements in symptoms and clinical outcomes (such as lower mortality rates»x and better cognitive functioningm) compared with those who have not. In fact, some of the unique chemicals in marijuana, such as cannabidiol (CBD), seem to have anti -psychotic properties.'0IX1 Researchers are investigating marijuana as a possible source of future schizophrenia treatments; until it is legalized, however, this research is significantly impeded. Rates of mental illness have remained stable in light of changes in marijuana consumption levels. For example, when marijuana use rates have increased, Drug Policy Alliance 1 131 West 33rd Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10001 Page 3 nyc@drugpolicy.org 1 212.613.8020 voice 1 212.613.8021 fax there have been no increases in schizophrenia diagnoses. We do see these types of correlations, however for other behaviors that are connected. For example, rates of diabetes in the U.S. have increased as obesity rates have increased. This is not to say, however, that there is no relationship between psychoactive substances and mental functioning. Some effects of marijuana use can include feelings of panic, anxiety and paranoia. Such experiences can be frightening, but the effects are temporary. Some psychoactive substances have been shown to improve mental health functioning and some do not. Recent research at the University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands concluded that the endocannabinoid system is responsible for making chemicals that combat mental health conditions such as depression. Stimulating the endocannabinoid system via the use of cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant might hold promise as a treatment for depressions and other mental health conditions.'°"i'i Part of the reason that is it so difficult to detangle psychoactive substance use from mental health is age of onset. For most people, symptoms of mental disturbance occur in the late teens and early 20's. While it is impossible to predict who will develop a mental disturbance, there seem to be some ties to genetics and to behavioral cues in early childhood. Those who have risk factors, such as a family history of mental health issues, should be cautious in their exposure to all substances that have any intoxicating effects. Unfortunately, in adolescence, teens are more likely to experiment with intoxicants and less likely to be open with their parents about their drug use and/or any symptoms of mental disturbance they may be experiencing. As a result, drug and alcohol use has usually already started by the time symptoms of mental illness become noticeable. This is why we see so many studies that confirm that most people diagnosed with severe mental illness have had a history of alcohol and drug use. The alcohol and drug use was not the cause of the mental illness, but rather a behavior that coincides with the undetected development of mental health symptoms.'00'° In fact, research suggests that those with mental illness might be self -medicating with marijuana. One study demonstrated that psychotic symptoms predict later use of marijuana, suggesting that people might turn to the plant for help rather than become ill after use. However, it should be noted that studies of marijuana as a "treatment" for certain mental health disorders are in preliminary phases, and there is no mental health condition for which marijuana is a standard of care treatment. These findings have been replicated by myriad other studies, including a new study conducted by Harvard University researchers, which found that marijuana "is unlikely to be the cause of illness," even in people who may be genetically predisposed to schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders. The researchers concluded, In summary, we conclude that cannabis does not cause psychosis by itself. In genetically vulnerable individuals, while cannabis may modify the illness onset, severity and outcome, there is no evidence from this study that it can cause the psychosis." *m Finally, available evidence indicates that medical marijuana laws may reduce rates of suicide among young adult males, who are most vulnerable to suicide2(0M Encouraging an open dialogue with adolescents about their drug use and paying attention to their behavior during the teen years are better prevention tools toward the future development of mental illness than to simply blame marijuana. How strong is today's marijuana? Marijuana regulation allows for a wider variety of THC levels in products. Although marijuana potency has reportedly increased in recent decades, this is largely due to prohibition.'°°"'i When access to a particular substance is sporadic, risky and limited, both consumers and producers are incentivized to use or sell higher potency material. We saw a similar trend during alcohol prohibition, when beer and cider were largely replaced by spirits and hard liquor, which was easier and more profitable to transport.70 mli When access is regulated and controlled, like in medical marijuana states, we see a wider variety of potencies, including marijuana with virtually no traces of psychoactive THC but high in cannabidiol (CBD), which is highly therapeutic but not psychoactive. While THC is virtually non-toxic to healthy cells or organs, and is incapable of causing a fatal overdose, marijuana's health impact is wide ranging and depends Drug Policy Alliance 1 131 West 33rd Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10001 Page 4 nyc©drugpolicy.org 1 212.613.8020 voice ( 212.613.8021 fax on the way marijuana is ingested, as well as the specific constituents in the marijuana. Health effects of marijuana are related to the route, dose, frequency and duration of marijuana use. Currently, doctors may legally prescribe Marinol, an FDA -approved pill that contains 100 percent THC — but, critically, lacks other therapeutic, non -psychoactive compounds found in marijuana.mdx The Food and Drug Administration found THC to be safe and effective for the treatment of nausea, vomiting and wasting diseases. When consumers encounter strong varieties of marijuana, they adjust their use accordingly and smoke less." Is it true that marijuana has medicinal properties? Marijuana has been proven helpful for treating the symptoms of a variety of medical conditions. The body's endocannabinoid system may explain why. For many seriously ill people, medical marijuana is the only medicine that relieves their pain and suffering, or treats symptoms of their medical condition, without debilitating side effects. Marijuana's medicinal benefits are incontrovertible, now proven by decades of peer- reviewed, controlled studies published in highly respected medical journals." Marijuana has been shown to alleviate symptoms of wide range of debilitating medical conditions including cancer,' HIV/AIDS,*'multiple sclerosis,""' Alzheimer's Disease,'4" post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),"`^ epilepsy,""' Crohn's Disease,"""' and glaucoma,"Ix and is often an effective alternative to narcotic painkillers) Evidence of marijuana's efficacy in treating severe and intractable pain is particularly impressive. Researchers at the University of California conducted a decade of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trials on the medical utility of inhaled marijuana, concluding that marijuana should be a "first line treatment' for patients with painful neuropathy, who often do not respond to other available treatments." Marijuana has been shown to be effective in reducing the nausea induced by cancer chemotherapy, stimulating appetite in AIDS patients, and reducing intraocular pressure in people with glaucoma.'' There is also appreciable evidence that marijuana reduces muscle spasticity in patients with neurological disorders." Marijuana has also been shown to help with mental health conditions, particularly PTSD.'i" In 2013, both Maine and Oregon added PTSD to the list of conditions that qualifies for medical marijuana. A synthetic capsule is available by prescription, but it is not as effective as smoked marijuana for many patients. Iv Our bodies contain a regulatory framework called the endocannabinoid system. This system is responsible for maintaining balance or homeostasis in the body. Some scientists theorize that a deficiency in the endocannabinoid system may contribute to certain diseases, such as Crohn's disease, which may explain why the introduction of phyto -cannabinoids (from the marijuana plant) help alleviate the symptoms of these conditions.'`" Although an overwhelming majority of Americans support medical marijuana, the federal government continues to impede state medical marijuana laws. Marijuana prohibition has also thwarted research within the United States to uncover the best and most effective uses for marijuana as a medicine, making efforts to reform medical marijuana laws particularly difficult.

At some doses, marijuana affects perception and psychomotor performance — changes that could impair driving ability.'`"' However, in actual driving studies, marijuana produces little or no car -handling impairment — consistently less than produced by moderate doses of alcohol and many legal medications.''"" In contrast to alcohol, which tends to increase risky driving practices, marijuana tends to make subjects more cautious.°x Surveys of fatally injured drivers show that when THC is detected in the blood, alcohol is almost always detected as well. Ix For some individuals, marijuana may play a role in bad driving, yet the overall rate of highway accidents appears not to be significantly affected by marijuana's widespread use in society.'" Frequent marijuana consumers, moreover, appear to develop a tolerance to marijuana's impairing effects.'"' However, while the impairing effects of marijuana vary across users, no safe amount of marijuana use or intoxication level has been established.

If marijuana were legally controlled and regulated, public education about using marijuana safely could be provided. Finally, available evidence indicates that medical marijuana laws do not increase — and in fact may decrease — traffic fatalities.mil How many people are getting arrested for marijuana every year? Roughly 750,000 people are arrested for marijuana each year, the vast majority of them for simple possession, with racial minorities over- represented. Approximately 750,000 people were arrested for marijuana law violations in 2012 according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's annual Uniform Crime Report — comprising about half (48 percent) of all drug arrests in the United States; that's one marijuana arrest every 42 seconds. A decade ago, marijuana arrests comprised just 44 percent of all drug arrests. Approximately 42 percent of all drug arrests nationwide are for marijuana possession. Of total arrests for marijuana law violations, more than 87 percent were for simple possession, not sale or manufacture. There are more arrests for marijuana possession every year than for all violent crimes combined.l"° A marijuana arrest is no small matter. Most people are handcuffed, placed in a police car, taken to a police station, fingerprinted and photographed, held in jail for 24 hours or more, and then arraigned before a judge. The arrest creates a permanent criminal record that can easily be found on the internet by employers, landlords, schools, credit agencies and banks. The collateral sanctions of a marijuana possession arrest can include loss of employment, financial aid, housing and child custody. ''" The criminalization of marijuana in the early 20th century was not based on any scientific assessment of its risks — but rather racial prejudice and politics. The first anti -marijuana laws, in the Midwest and the Southwest during the 1910s and 20s, were directed at Mexican migrants and Mexican Americans. Artists and performers — especially black jazz musicians — were common targets. I'm Today, Latino and black communities are still subject to wildly disproportionate marijuana enforcement practices, even though these groups are no more likely than whites to use or sell marijuana. According to a 2012 ACLU report, black people are 3.7 times more likely to be arrested for marijuana possession than white people despite comparable usage rates. Furthermore, in counties with the worst disparities, blacks were as much as 30 times more likely to be arrested. "x"" States spent an estimated $3.61 billion enforcing marijuana possession laws in 2010 alone. New York and California combined spent over $1 billion.

(Marijuana Safety - DEA Administrative Law Judge's Ruling) "3. The most obvious concern when dealing with drug safety is the possibility of lethal effects. Can the drug cause death? "4. Nearly all medicines have toxic, potentially lethal effects. But marijuana is not such a substance. There is no record in the extensive medical literature describing a proven, documented cannabis -induced fatality. "5. This is a remarkable statement. First, the record on marijuana encompasses 5,000 years of human experience. Second, marijuana is now used daily by enormous numbers of people throughout the world. Estimates suggest that from twenty million to fifty million Americans routinely, albeit illegally, smoke marijuana without the benefit of direct medical supervision. Yet, despite this long history of use and the extraordinarily high numbers of social smokers, there are simply no credible medical reports to suggest that consuming marijuana has caused a single death. "6. By contrast aspirin, a commonly used, over-the-counter medicine, causes hundreds of deaths each year. "7. Drugs used in medicine are routinely given what is called an LD -50. The LD -50 rating indicates at what dosage fifty percent of test animals receiving a drug will die as a result of drug induced toxicity. A number of researchers have attempted to determine marijuana's LD -50 rating in test animals, without success. Simply stated, researchers have been unable to give animals enough marijuana to induce death. "8. At present it is estimated that marijuana's LD -50 is around 1:20,000 or 1:40,000. In layman terms this means that in order to induce death a marijuana smoker would have to consume 20,000 to 40,000 times as much marijuana as is contained in one marijuana cigarette. NIDA -supplied marijuana cigarettes weigh approximately .9 grams. A smoker would theoretically have to consume nearly 1,500 pounds of marijuana within about fifteen minutes to induce a lethal response. "9. In practical terms, marijuana cannot induce a lethal response as a result of drug-related toxicity."

State -specific characteristics, such as trends in attitudes or health behaviors, may explain variation in medical cannabis laws and opioid analgesic overdose mortality, and we found some evidence that differences in these characteristics contributed to our findings. When including state -specific linear time trends in regression models, which are used to adjust for hard -to -measure confounders that change over time, the association between laws and opioid analgesic overdose mortality weakened. In contrast, we did not find evidence that states that passed medical cannabis laws had different overdose mortality rates in years prior to law passage, providing a temporal link between laws and changes in opioid analgesic overdose mortality. In addition, we did not find evidence that laws were associated with differences in mortality rates for unrelated conditions (heart disease and septicemia), suggesting that differences in opioid analgesic overdose mortality cannot be explained by broader changes in health. In summary, although we found a lower mean annual rate of opioid analgesic mortality in states with medical cannabis laws, a direct causal link cannot be established."

BACKGROUND: The City has contracted with the YMCA for the operation, maintenance and programming for the three outdoor swimming pools since 2005, but their current contract expired December 31, 2014. That recently -expired contract was divided into two parts — an administrative fee and actual expenses. In 2014, the management fee was $34,000 and actual expenses were approximately $300,000. Under Washington law for this type of contract, the City may negotiate with potential contractors on the services to be provided, and what the cost of those services will be. The YMCA is the only viable option for operating our outdoor swimming pools and they have successfully managed the previous contract. As such, staff recommends approving this new contract with the YMCA. The new proposed contract will be for one three-year term beginning in 2015 with two additional three-year renewals possible if both parties mutually agree. The management fee will be held at $34,000 for the first three-year term. OPTIONS: N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the 2015 contract with the YMCA for operation and maintenance of the City's three outdoor pool facilities. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The Parks and Recreation Department General Fund budget funds the operation, maintenance and programming of our Aquatic Facilities. STAFF CONTACT: Michael D.

Delegation of Authority to City Manager — Mike Jackson [added agenda item] It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to delegate authority to the City Manager to appoint qualified representatives to the Spokane County Law and Justice Council. Mr. Jackson went over the history of the recently rejuvenated Spokane County Law and Justice Council and of the position open for a representative of the city legislative authorities within the County; he explained that the City wrote to the numerous jurisdictions to request their approval for a representative from our city to fill that position; he said all except two of those jurisdictions responded and of those responding, all expressed support for Spokane Valley filling that role. Mr. Jackson said the position is currently a four-year term and he anticipates seeking someone for the long-term; said he hopes our appointment would have discussions with Council and said he can give direction to that appointee to represent us at the committee, and said we would share information with the other municipalities. Mr. Jackson said the composition of the council is established by statute and that the Board of County Commissioners can add representatives, and agreed with Councilmember Pace that ideally in the future there would be an additional representative from one of the smaller cities. Mayor Grafos invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried. NON -ACTION ITEMS: 4. YMCA Contract Update — Mike Stone Parks and Recreation Director Stone explained that since 2005, we have contracted with the YMCA for the operation, maintenance and programming for our three outdoor swimming pools and that the YMCA is the only viable option for operation of those pools, and he said that the YMCA has successfully managed the previous contract, and that the 2014 management fee of $34,000 will remain the same for 2015. Mr. Stone said staff recommends placing this contract on the January 27 consent agenda for approval. Council concurred. 5. Code Enforcement Lien Authority — Cary Driskell, Mike Jackson Concerning the issue of property mitigation, Mr. Jackson explained that he and City Attorney Driskell will be meeting with our lobbyist next week, as well as a lobbyist from the Bank Association and Senators Pam Roach and Mike Padden, and he what he would like to hear what is Council's degree of latitude concerning the issue of lien authority; he mentioned the idea of working with the County Assessor to send out statements, and said the goal is to have the property owner pay for the mitigation; said if the property owner doesn't pay now, we have no other recource; he said this would not put the property into foreclosure, and said he feels the greatest option for success is with the assessor's billing Mr. Jackson said he feels it is important that all taxpayers don't pay for these mitigations. Mr. Jackson said he and Mr. Driskell would like to be able to explain at the Olympia meeting next week, of what we Council Study Session 01-06-2015 Page 2 of 4 Approved by Council: DRAFT are willing to do or forgo. Mr. Driskell added that we are responsible for pursuing court actions to get the properties cleaned up as they represent life and health issues and detract from the property values of surrounding properties. After giving his PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Driskell said we are trying to get the same authority as the County concerning lien authority. Mr. Jackson said his hope is to argue that the banks should be willing to do this, as the City is willing to spend its own funds; he said the majority of homeowners carry a mortgage and this process would help protect the bank's assets, adding that the banks also likely own the surrounding properties. In response to a Council question of how much we lost over the years, Mr. Driskell said we spent about $60,000 on abatements, and collected back about $20,000; we lost between $10,000 and $13,000 to foreclosures and bankruptcy and in those instances, we are not able to collect any reimbursements for our expenditures. Mr. Jackson said we have a limit on how much we can spend and he hopes to never have to impose the lien, but having that option is strong incentive; he said staff is willing to have payment plans to have the homeowner pay us back over time; and said the courts expect us to take action on these cases that go before the courts. Mayor Grafos and Councilmember Pace said they favor going for the lien authority even if pursuing it would take another few years, and Deputy Mayor Woodard and Councilmember Higgins agreed. Mr. Jackson asked Council about the idea of setting a cap, and if they were in favor of a cap, what amount should be used. Mr. Driskell said he prefers no cap as the larger cases are the ones we don't want capped; but perhaps the legislators would be willing to consider a higher lien authority in exchange for a cap. After further brief discussion, Mr. Jackson said he would not bring up a cap unless the need arises, and asked if that does occur, would Council be comfortable with $10,000. Mayor Grafos said he feels most of the cases likely would not be as high as $10,000; and Mr. Driskell said he feels a cap would give us more negotiating strength. 6. Broadway Avenue Storm Drain Retrofits — Eric Guth Public Works Director Guth said that this project is currently on the CIP (Capital Improvement Program), that we recently received a grant from the Department of Ecology (DOE), which is the second round of grant allocations, adding that we were not awarded a grant during the first round. Mr. Guth said the DOE contacted staff and said there were some funds not spent, and asked if we wanted to use some funds for the Broadway Project, Havana to Fancher, to eliminate and retrofit some of the drywells and improve the water quality. Mr. Guth said staff told the DOE we would like to take their grant money up to the $975,000, which is 75% of the preliminary construction estimate of $1,300,000 for improvements. Mr. Guth explained the project funding and timing and said two project concepts were developed: option #1 for stormwater only improvements; and option #2 to incorporate additional streetscape improvements. Mr. Guth said that the stormwater improvements only includes retrofitting all existing drywells; while the additional improvements under option two include converting an existing four -lane to a three -lane, adding a pedestrian/bike path, installing grassy swales and street trees, and an optional gateway sign. Continuing with the PowerPoint presentation, Stormwater Engineer Brodwater showed some examples of additional streetscape improvements, followed by an explanation from Traffic Engineer Messner of what some of those traffic improvements could entail, and included the conversion of the four -lane to three - lane road, crash data, and traffic volumes; which was followed by Mr. Brodwater's explanation of the pros and cons of both options. Thereafter council/staff discussed the options and possible expenses, as well as whether there is a need for a pedestrian/bike path. Concerning funding, Mr. Guth explained that the funding ratio is 75%/25%, and that the improvements associated with option 2 have not been designed yet, but he estimated a cost of $1.2 million for construction, and $100,000 for planning, and said 75% of that would be $975,000. Councilmember Wick said he would like to have further discussion on this project; Deputy Mayor Woodard stated that he does not want a three -lane road and his preference is option 1; and Mayor Grafos and Councilmembers Pace and Higgins preferred not spending the additional funds and instead, opted for option 1. Mr. Guth said staff will focus on option 1. Council Study Session 01-06-2015 Page 3 of 4 Approved by Council: DRAFT 7. Advance Agenda — Mayor Grafos There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda. 8. Information Only: The Commute Trip Reduction Plan Update, Response to Public Comments, Department Monthly Reports, and Street Sweeping Contract were for information only and were not reported or discussed. 9. Council Comments — Mayor Grafos Mayor Grafos mentioned the substantial increase in sales tax received as compared with calendar year 2007; and Deputy Mayor Woodard noted that the increase in excise taxes appears to indicate that Spokane Valley is selling homes better than elsewhere in the country. 10. City Manager Comments — Mike Jackson City Manager Jackson noted the two items placed at the Council dais: the letter for Spokane Valley registered businesses concerning keeping sidewalks cleared of snow and ice, which Council voiced no objection to being mailed; and the draft letter to the Department of Ecology (DOE) in response to that Department's draft report of the Marine and Rail Oil Transportation Study, and most notably, that it appears that our City was omitted from mention in the study, of the misplaced emphasis on population density as a measure of risk, and that DOE has an incorrect definition of First Class Cities. Mr. Jackson said if there are no objections, he would like to send the letter out Thursday, adding that representatives from our City spent all day at their September 9, 2014 meeting, yet none of our City's concerns were included in the report. Councilmember Wick suggested sending a copy to the Association of Washington Cities as perhaps other cities might share our concern. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 7:41 p.m. ATTEST: Dean Grafos, Mayor Christine Bainbridge, City Clerk Council Study Session 01-06-2015 Page 4 of 4 Approved by Council: DRAFT MINUTES City of Spokane Valley City Council Regular Meeting Formal Meeting Format Tuesday, January 13, 2015 Mayor Grafos called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Attendance: City Staff Dean Grafos, Mayor Arne Woodard, Deputy Mayor Chuck Hafner, Councilmember Rod Higgins, Councilmember Ed Pace, Councilmember ABSENT: Bill Bates, Councilmember Ben Wick, Councilmember Mark Calhoun Deputy City Manager Erik Lamb, Deputy City Attorney John Hohman, Community Development Dir.

MAYOR'S REPORT: Mayor Grafos reported that he attended a news conference with Mayor Condon at the Northwest Mayor's Association meeting, where the discussion included the idea of sending a message to the state that shared revenues should not be taken away from cities, and that the state budget should not be balanced on the "backs of the cities" that depend on those revenues for public safety. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Grafos invited public comment. Lynn Plaggemeier: said he spent some time in Gilbert, Arizona, and found that city and others such as Mesa and Chandler, inspiring; said he met with a planner and the assessor and said taxes were half of what he is paying here; said when a construction company uses a public street, they clean the street at the end of the day whether they were finished with the project or not; said there are virtually no signs and he talked to business people in Albertsons and McDonalds who said their business was actually increasing without signs; Mr. Plaggemeier recommended some Councilmembers and staff take a trip to Arizona to see what they are doing right; that people are enthusiastic about their city, greenspace is required to be maintained and not allowed to be a "weed patch" and that marijuana problems in the schools are not tolerated as the schools are charter schools. Cheri Ann Kelley: said she was with Chris Wetherill who spoke earlier in the year about railroad quiet zones and that they hope to meet with Councilmember Wick about a quiet zone at Park and Trent, and/or Vista and Trent; said she received an e-mail from Burlington Northern Railroad who indicated they have had no communication from Spokane Valley to create or extend any quiet zones, and if the City is interested, the City should work with Burlington to investigate these possibilities; said the last quiet zone was four years ago and said she would be willing to volunteer her time to help facilitate this issue. 1.

Commute Trip Reduction — Morgan Koudelka Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka went over the background of the Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plan, as contained under State Statutes, and mentioned our Interlocal Agreement with Spokane County naming the County as the program's administrator. Mr. Koudelka explained that Council adopted the CTR ordinance and Plan in 2010 and subsequently the City Manager approved the four year plan; he said the State Commute Trip Reduction Board adopts its own plan every four years and local jurisdictions implement the new goals into the own plans; and those plans are then approved by the local Regional Transportation Councils and the state CTR Board. Mr. Koudelka said the goals and approach to the goals have changed significantly enough to warrant Council approval; rather than have a goal to reduce drive - alone trips, the Plan will now set goals to increase the use of commute alternatives. Mr. Koudelka then introduced Ms. LeAnn Yamamoto, Spokane County's Transportation Demand Management Manager. Ms. Yamamoto explained that the CTR law passed was passed in 1991, implemented in 1993, and updated in 2006 to adhere to the CTR Efficiency Act, which addresses improving overall transportation and transportation efficiency, and air quality; she said this Act applies to public and private employers; that the Board established policy, allocated funding, and established guidelines and that Spokane CTR office works collaboratively to keep all necessary documents updated; that this was last updated in 2011 and this update would be for the timeframe of 2015-2019; and she mentioned the change in the goals and the different approach to how they are measured. Ms. Yamamoto then went over the 2015-2019 Plan Update's planning and community goals, including the Governor's Executive Order as noted in the materials. Council questions and discussion ensued, including a question about consequences of not complying, to which Ms. Yamamoto explained that if employment sites don't participate, they could face fines although she is only aware of one company being fined about fifteen years ago; she said the goal is to work collaboratively with all employment sites; that the Governor wants to increase his goals by 40%, and that the state-wide that figure is about 34%; she said it is a good faith effort law. Mr. Koudelka added that we get funding from the State and we contract with the County for them to provide oversight services, and said this isn't an unfunded mandate; they are looking to employment sites to put in the effort to enable employers to be successful and reduce employees' trip miles to and from work, and said it is very rare if ever that punitive measures are taken; and said the County does the bulk of the work. Councilmember Pace asked how much it cost employers to track and administer the program and Ms. Yamamoto said she would have to research those figures, but the return value is about 18:1 ratio, and that each site has an employee transportation coordinator to help implement the program. Councilmember Pace said the funds still come from the taxpayers. Mr. Koudelka said that this does require a commitment from each employer that requires time, but that he is not aware of any measurement for that; and said for example, our coordinator is Chris Thompson, and that handling these CTR duties are just one of her regular duties, which he said is common for employers. Deputy Mayor Woodard said he has attended the "Way To Go" meetings in the past but has never seen this information before, that he feels Chris Thompson does a great job but assumed she worked on this on her own time and thought it was voluntary and that it did not involve the false science of greenhouse emissions; said he thinks the State is in the wrong business on this; said he realizes the County does a Minutes Regular Council Meeting 01-13--2015 Page 3 of 5 Approved by Council: DRAFT great job of promoting and encouraging people for the program, but when the Governor says we are going to increase something with no proof that what is occurring is doing any good or could even be doing harm to the economy or businesses; and asked where are the freedoms for making choices. Councilmember Pace said he can't believe the government believes it is their business to determine how people get to work. Ms. Yamamoto explained that this is mandated by state law, and that an ordinance has been in effect since it was approved in 2010; said this program encourages people to make different choices but that no one is forced to make a certain choice; she said there are people who enjoy riding the bus or biking and this program encourages them to use those transportation choices; the program is not a heavy-handed program to tell people they can't drive; she said it helps communities and encourages employees to use those commute alternatives, but people don't have to use them. Councilmember Pace said it is offensive that government tax dollars are spent on this. Deputy Mayor Woodard said these programs stem from the West Side of the state; that they pass a law for example about two lanes of freeway and a transit lane, and the law has to affect the entire state; said he is not opposed to the goals but rather is opposed to it being a law; that now the state has started talking about a carbon tax and mileage penalties and that there are never any sunsetting clauses on these things, and that he would like to see empirical evidence that this program has done anything at all. Councilmember Hafner suggested Council look at this from the angle of what is the value for us in Spokane Valley; he said there are good objectives and the program is run at a minimal cost and that we cannot do anything about a state -mandated program. Mayor Grafos added that we have an interlocal agreement; that these are just goals and the program only affects employers with one hundred employees or more; that it is a promotional program working with cities for commute alternatives, like using the bus or bike paths to see if we can reduce the carbon emissions a little. Ms. Yamamoto added that the focus is to increase commute alternatives thereby reducing vehicle miles traveled; that this does not represent a big change and that the program throughout the region removes about 7600 cars off roadways every morning, which all has a significant impact on traffic. Mr. Koudelka said that we always have a choice and this is likely not the first law from Olympia to have been found distasteful to some; he said we are not Seattle and generally do not have gridlocks on roads; but when we apply for grants for road projects, the grants often require ADA (Americans with Disability Act) compliance like having bike lanes; and he asked if pushing back against an executive order is the battle to fight and what would we gain; he said staff can research this further and come back for continued discussion, but that the program is not requiring us to do anything other than try to offer commute alternatives. Mayor Grafos said this is an educational program and he is in favor of moving this forward. Councilmember Pace said it still involves taxpayer dollars, and he and Deputy Mayor Woodard asked what costs we incur. Mr. Koudelka said there are no additional costs, but he can bring back a calculation of Ms. Thompson's time. There was Council consensus to bring this item back for a future motion, but not on the next consent agenda. 5. Beekeeping — Micki Harnois Planner Harnois explained that this agenda item is in follow-up to the previous discussion where questions were raised about the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) requirement that all apiarists be registered. As shown in her PowerPoint, Ms. Harnois gave a brief explanation about the process, said that beekeepers are required to register annually with WSDA, and that the fee for doing so is nominal. There was some Council discussion about beekeeping requirements including the setbacks, the maximum number of hives and colonies, and of requiring flyway barriers and a source of water, with Deputy Mayor Woodard suggesting a limit of one colony per 4,350 square feet; and Mayor Grafos stating that he liked the City of Spokane's requirement of one colony per 4,350 square feet. Council agreed that this item should be referred to the Planning Commission to begin the code text amendment process. Minutes Regular Council Meeting 01-13--2015 Page 4 of 5 Approved by Council: DRAFT 6. Advance Agenda — Mayor Grafos Mayor Grafos said he feels quiet zones are an economic and public safety issue and that we can't wait for the Bridging the Valley, and that he would like to start over on this quiet zone, and take these crossings maybe one at a time, work with the railroad and make some progress, including getting cost estimates. Council agreed and Deputy City Manager Calhoun said he will research the topic, and work to possibly bring back an administrative report covering this topic and include the information given by former Interim Deputy City Manager Roger Crum. In other business, Mayor Grafos reported that for 2014, he signed 1,899 letters welcoming new businesses, compared with 1,534 in 2013, which represents about a 24% increase in businesses.

Executive Session: Pending Litigation [RCW 42.30.110(1)(i)1 It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to adjourn into Executive Session for approximately ten minutes to discuss pending litigation, and that action will be taken upon return to open session. Council adjourned into Executive Session at 6:03 p.m. At 6:10 p.m., Mayor Grafos declared Council out of Executive Session, at which time it was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to approve the settlement of the lawsuit entitled "Gibson, et al., v.

City Attorney Driskell explained that two lawsuits arose from the 2007 construction of the round -about at Montgomery and Wilbur and Mansfield; that staff went through mediation with the plaintiffs, and that this now represents a full and final resolution of any possible claim with the Montgomery Court Apartments. Mayor Grafos invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried. NON -ACTION ITEMS: 2. Review of Various City Marijuana Regulations and Bans Statewide — Erik Lamb Deputy City Attorney Lamb explained that tonight's agenda item is an opportunity to review what other cities are doing regarding Initiative 502 and recreational marijuana. Via his PowerPoint presentation, Mr. Lamb explained the types of regulations of cities throughout the state, with forty-seven cities imposing a ban, twenty imposing interim regulations, sixty-two using various levels of new direct regulations, forty- four using existing regulations, and sixty cities passing a moratorium. Mr. Lamb said that this process is very much in flux as the first retail sales were in July, and people are trying to address issues as they arise, Council Study Session 01-20-2015 Page 1 of 4 Approved by Council: DRAFT both on a state and a local level; he said out of the three retail stores allocated within our City, two have received licenses and are operating, eleven have a producer license and thirteen have a processor license, adding that some of those licensees are actually the same individual, making it closer to fifteen businesses instead of twenty-four. 3. Proposed Text Amendment, Plat Time Extension, CTA 2014-0006 — Micki Harnois Planner Harnois explained that the amendment proposes changing the timeframe for preliminary plat extensions from a single one-year time extension, to an initial three-year extension with additional one- year extensions allowed administratively. As noted in her PowerPoint presentation, Ms. Harnois briefly explained the plat review and approval process, noted that under current regulations, should the five-year approval expire the plat couldn't be recorded and the project would die; she gave some examples of why the five-year deadline might not be met, mentioned the time extensions allowed by state law, and showed comparable allowed time extensions for various jurisdictions. Ms. Harnois also stated that the Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the change to an initial three-year time extension, allowing one year extensions at the discretion of the Department, and of the deletion of the current criteria for approval of an extension. Councilmember Pace asked what would happen if a federal code changes, and would that change the developer's plan. Planner Harnois responded that it might require an altered condition. Councilmember Pace then stated that he would like to have any such change always come out for the good of the developer; that if a building code changes to impose stricter requirements, that the previous, less -stringent regulations would apply so as to always benefit the developer. Director Hohman explained that such a situation would be problematic as it would be difficult to judge the criteria; but if there were some need to update the regulations for the health, safety or general welfare, that would be the best approach, which he said might or might not increase a burden on the developer, said that any scenario would be judged at the time the project came forward; that the main point of the proposed change is the developer wouldn't have to start again from the beginning as that could represent a large financial burden on the developer. City Attorney Driskell added that Councilmember Pace's suggestion would present significant problems in deciding when to allow more or less restrictive regulations, and keeping the regulations as the proposed amendment suggests would also provide certainty for the development community and the neighborhoods; and said that having regulations that would benefit one group and not the other would present some challenges. Councilmember Pace also asked about sending notices to builders when their expiration time is near; said that he gets a notice from the library when a book is overdue and asked why we couldn't send out notices to developers. Mr. Driskell explained that failing to bring back a book to the library is a lot lower risk, and he cautioned taking on any such burden of notifying developers; he said it is their project and they have a strong interest in following the timeframe, and if we failed to notify anyone, they would look to the City for recourse. Mayor Grafos said he feels the proposed amendment is a good change as it would have our regulations the same as Spokane County, and Council concurred to move the proposed amendment forward. 4. NEPA/SEPA Process — Steve Worley Via his PowerPoint presentation, Senior Engineer Worley gave an explanation of the processes of and differences between SEPA (State Environmental Policy Act), and NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act), and said that the processes are specific to how they apply to individual public works projects. Mr. Worley discussed the checklists, some of basics of what each law requires and how these processes are administered, the permits and approval requirements as well as the environmental considerations; and as an example showed the difference between what is needed for the SEPA and NEPA for the Sullivan Road West Bridge replacement project, and finally gave a cost comparison. Council Study Session 01-20-2015 Page 2 of 4 Approved by Council: DRAFT 5. Street Sweeping Bike Lanes — Eric Guth Public Works Director Guth explained that over the past year, the City has received an occasional citizen comment or concern about debris in bicycle lanes. Mr. Guth explained that our current street sweeping program includes work plans to periodically sweep arterial streets that may have bicycle lanes and/or bicycle facilities in the roadway section, and that staff continually works to improve the process keeping in mind the resources and available funding; said that the budget has held relatively steady over the past years, but two years ago a change order was processed in order to have some additional sweeping done, which was partly a result of good weather giving the opportunity for additional sweeping. Mr. Guth said a slight budget increase might be needed for the 2016 budget based on past needs. Director Guth also noted that complaints have decreased over the years, with seventeen complaints received in 2012, fourteen in 2013, and eleven in 2014. Director Guth went through his PowerPoint presentation explaining the sweeping plan, including sweeping frequency and criteria, and that we currently sweep all bike lanes and shared roadways at least once a year, with changes evaluated through staff and citizen input. Concerning one of the maps showing a "favorite bike route," Mayor Grafos asked how often that is swept. Mr. Guth replied that it is swept based on need and inspection by staff; that it is not done on a frequent basis as the area is not a problem for us and we don't get a lot of complaints, nor does it have the traffic issue commonly associated with streets that need sweeping. Mayor Grafos said that some of those areas generate a lot of leaves and that perhaps staff should examine that issue. Mr. Guth said staff will research that issue. 6. Advance Agenda — Mayor Grafos There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda. 7. Highway Safety Improvement (HSIP) Grant Update This item was for information only and was not reported or discussed. 8. Council Comments — Mayor Grafos. There were no additional Council comments. 9. City Manager Comments — Mike Jackson City Manager Jackson reported that last week that he and Mr. Driskell met in Olympia and had a lively discussion with Lobbyist Briahna Taylor, several senators, and the president and CEO of the Community Banks of Washington and their lobbyist in an effort to gain support for a House Bill to approve cities having additional lien authority to have a first priority lien for code enforcement cleanups; adding that he also proposed working with the County Assessor to include a notice in the property tax bills. Mr. Jackson said the banks were opposed to the idea, that when a mortgage is calculated, there is no inclusion for some amount for such a lien. Mr. Jackson said we had previously heard from Ms. Taylor that the banks oppose the plan and that she doesn't think that position would change and that such a bill would gain little traction in the legislature. After the initial meeting with those mentioned above, Mr. Jackson said he and Mr. Driskell met with Ms. Taylor to discuss the possible alternatives of such a bill, or to stay with our initial concept. Mr. Jackson said that the options are (1) to continue with our original concept knowing that the banks will oppose it and it likely won't pass, but we could continue pressing this over the years; or (2) set a cap; he said the community banks proposed a cap of $2,000, which he said staff feels is low, but we could continue that discussion with the hope of having such a cap at $5,000, which would recover the majority of the code enforcement actions we have; or (3) exclude the community banks from this legislation; and if we did that the national banks might oppose it as unfair; and he said he is not sure that is even feasible, adding that the larger banks are not opposed to this idea. To further clarify the proposed legislation, Mr. Jackson said this would only apply to those who don't pay, and only then would a lien be placed on their property; he said Council had previously discussed not wanting to put a lien on property as that option is not popular with legislators as no one wants to put someone out of their home, so we are proposing to include such an amount with the property tax, which must be paid. Another alternative, Mr. Jackson said, would be to Council Study Session 01-20-2015 Page 3 of 4 Approved by Council: DRAFT place the burden on the seller only it the property would come into foreclosure, and then perhaps have it similar to a utility; but in summary, Mr. Jackson said we don't see the banks supporting this option any more than any other option, and that they are strictly opposed to a lien. The idea of a cap might gain traction, Mr. Jackson said, but if we dilute it too much, it won't meet the objective to get the property owner in violation to pay the bill and not spread the cost among all property owners. Mr. Jackson mentioned that during the group's discussion, most of the participants discussed the idea of simply taking a little more tax from all the other property owners, but Mr. Jackson said he told them we do not want all citizens to pay for individual property cleanups. Councilmember Wick said he likes the cap progression and to see where we can go from there; Councilmember Pace suggested we stick with the original concept; Deputy Mayor Woodard suggested having the cap and excluding the community bank, with Mr. Jackson stating that excluding the banks would be more of a long-term project. Councilmember Higgins suggested the cap of about $5,000 or if we can't do that, to stay with the original verbiage. Mayor Grafos said he favors the $5,000 cap, don't exclude the community banks, and try for something we could get passed. Councilmember Hafner agreed and stated if we exclude the community banks, it would make the situation more difficult, and he too agreed with the $5,000 cap. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of regulations in 2003; amendments in 2007; amendments in 2012; administrative report December 16, 2014, first reading of Ordinance 15- 001 on January 13, 2015. BACKGROUND: The City contracts with Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Service (SCRAPS) for animal control services within the City. One of the terms of that contract requires the City to adopt and update as appropriate, regulations that are substantially similar to those adopted by Spokane County. The "substantially similar" language allows for minor variations to account for our form of government or some local preference. The City has adopted by reference portions of the County Code in their entirety, but has separate provisions specifically relating to dangerous and potentially dangerous dogs under SVMC 7.30.035, 7.30.040, and 7.30.045. The purpose for the requirement to have code provisions substantially similar is so SCRAPS officers don't have to learn and apply numerous enforcement provisions for various partners. In late 2013, Spokane County made a number of revisions to its relevant code provisions to reflect that the regional partnership would be expanding under the new interlocal agreement, and to make various updates to their code as appropriate. As a result, some minor modifications became necessary to ensure SVMC 7.30 accurately cited to the County Code. This is seen on the proposed amendment to SVMC 7.30.045(E). Additionally, the County added some requirements for certain dog owners who are required by law to register a dog after it is declared to be dangerous, which regulations are found under the proposed amendment to SVMC 7.30.045(A). These additional requirements relate to humane treatment and living conditions for dogs deemed dangerous. The remaining proposed amendments are minor and reflect a particular way we reference things in our Code. As we amend any part of our Code over time, our office has been adding similar changes. For example, rather than referencing partial Code section, the full reference is provided, or consistent use of a terms like "shall" for mandatory actions, and similar types of changes. Councilmember Pace asked staff to provide additional information as to conduct that would result in a dog being classified as dangerous. That is contained in Spokane County Code 5.04.020, Definitions, which the City has adopted by reference pursuant to 7.30.010, and reads as follows:. "Dangerous dog" means any dog that (a) inflicts severe injury or multiple bites on a human being without provocation on public or private property, (b) inflicts severe injury, multiple bites, or kills an animal without provocation while the dog is off the owner's or keeper's property, or (c) has previously been declared potentially dangerous under this chapter or a previous version of this chapter, and after the owner or keeper received notice of such declaration the dog engages in behavior that meets the definition of "potentially dangerous dog" in subsection (19) of this section; provided, a declaration of dangerous dog under part (c) of this subsection cannot become a final determination under Section 5.040.032 unless and until the previous declaration of potentially dangerous dog has become final under this Code or a previous version of this Code. If two or more dogs jointly engage in any conduct described in parts (a) or (b) of this subsection, thereby rendering proof of the individual dog that inflicted any particular injury difficult to ascertain, then regardless of the degree of participation by the individual dog(s), all such dogs shall be deemed dangerous dogs. OPTIONS: (1) approve the ordinance; (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move to approve Ordinance 15-001 amending Spokane Valley Municipal Code Animal Regulations.

BACKGROUND: Council adopted the original Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Ordinance and Plan in 2010. Subsequently, the City Manager approved the four year plan update (2011-15). The State Commute Trip Reduction Board adopts its own plan every four years and local jurisdictions are required by state law to implement the new goals into their own plans which are applicable to all affected jurisdictions in the City of Spokane Valley. These plans are approved by the local Regional Transportation Councils and the state CTR Board. This version is for 2015-2019 (mid -year to mid -year). OPTIONS: Adopt the Updated Plan. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to Adopt the Commute Trip Reduction Plan Update: 2015-19, Updating the Plan Originally Adopted by Ordinance 10-013. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: State supplied funds are transferred to Spokane County as the City contracts with the County to provide Commute Trip Reduction services and oversight over affected employers within the City of Spokane Valley. City CTR responsibilities are provided by employees in conjunction with their other duties. CTR responsibilities are added responsibilities and represent a minimal number of working hours.

Decreasing the demand for vehicle trips is significantly less costly and as effective in reducing traffic congestion and its impacts as constructing new transportation facilities such as roads and bridges to accommodate increased traffic volumes. Air pollution causes significant harm to public health and degrades the habitability of many of Washington's cities. Increasing automotive transportation is a major factor in increasing consumption of gasoline and, thereby, increasing reliance on imported sources of petroleum. Moderating the growth in automotive travel is essential to stabilizing and reducing dependence on imported petroleum and improving the nation's energy security. 2 What is GTR (continued) The State CTR law states: Reducing the number of commute trips to work made via single -occupant cars is an effective way of reducing pollution, traffic congestion, and energy use. The intent is to require local governments in those counties experiencing the greatest automobile - related air pollution and traffic congestion to develop and implement plans to reduce single - occupant vehicle trips. History of CTR In 2006 the Legislature passed the CTR Efficiency Act (WAC 468-63) Intended to ensure consistency in CTR Plans and goals among jurisdictions while fairly taking into account differences in employment and housing density, employer size, existing and anticipated levels of transit service, special employer circumstances, and other factors the board determines to be relevant. City of Spokane Valley CTR History City adopted Ordinance 03-087 in 2003 and Ordinance 10-013 in 2010. Has contracted with Spokane County through recurring two-year interlocal agreements. Spokane County provides oversight of affected employers in Spokane Valley. City created an original CTR plan in 2007. The plan was updated in 2011 and is being updated again now. This plan is required by law (RCW 70.94.521, 527) and is required to be updated every four years.

Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) utilizes a Congestion Management Process (CMP)which requires that lower cost planning strategies be implemented on identified congested corridors prior to adding capacity. Travel demand management like the Commute Trip reduction program is a lower cost strategy. Spokane Valley among other member agencies helped author the CMP, approved by the Regional SRTC Board in December, 2014. It is a requirement of this process that jurisdictions in the Spokane region utilize travel demand management strategies such as CTR in an effort to prevent traffic congestion. 18 Commute Trip Reduction Implementation Plan Update: 2015-2019 Jurisdiction: City of Spokane Valley Goals, targets and other performance measures Goals for the 2019-2020 survey period include an increase of non drive -alone travel (NDAT), and reductions of VMT and GHG from the City of Spokane Valley's jurisdiction baseline surveys in 2007-2008. 2007-2008 Percent Change 2019-2020 NDAT 19.9% 6% points 25.9% VMT 11.0 18% 9 GHG 13,645 18% 11,188 NDAT — Non Drive Alone Travel, VMT— Vehicle Miles Traveled, GHG — Green House Gases Strategies What specific steps and strategies will you implement to meet your goal?

The City of Spokane Valley will continue to implement the strategies identified in the local CTR plan. The CTR program in the City of Spokane Valley is administered by Spokane County through an inter -local agreement. The focus will continue in developing and implementing a set of strategies that will help CTR employers achieve their goals for increasing commute alternative use and reducing vehicle miles traveled and greenhouse gas emissions including, but not limited to: CTR employers will receive promotional materials to post on their commuting option boards to be used specifically for promoting and encouraging transportation options. Each board displays the Employee Transportation Coordinator's (ETCs) name and contact information. ETCs are required to attend 15 hours of mandatory ETC training within six months of being appointed ETC. Seasoned ETCs will be encouraged to take refresher courses as needed. The comprehensive ETC 1 1 CTR Plan/Implementation Plan Update: 2015-2019 training classes will be offered throughout the year and include: ETC Orientation Management Support Marketing CTR / Subsidies and Incentive MyCommute.org — online tracking calendar Commute Finder Northwest—online ridematching tool - Transit Workshop - Annual Report Workshop - CTR Survey Workshop - Social Media for TDM - FISH Training (motivational) Networking opportunities will be offered throughout the year to update ETCs on CTR and transportation related issues, promotional campaigns and opportunities, incentives, events, etc. Collaborate with local agencies and organizations to enhance and improve CTR promotional efforts, media coverage, CTR events and joint projects to ensure maximum leverage and exposure. Develop and implement promotional campaigns that will encourage the use of commute alternatives. Meet annually or as needed with CTR employers to review and discuss their CTR program, review CTR survey results, strategize improvements to help employers achieve their CTR targets and goals. Require employers to make program improvements and modifications as needed based on survey results. Work collaboratively with Spokane Transit to provide updates and feedback to CTR employers on all STA projects and service improvements. Work collaboratively to provide updates and feedback to CTR employers on all projects and improvements that impact and encourage walking, bicycling and transit use within the City of Spokane Valley and surrounding area. Utilize the Undriver's License station at community events and at employment sites to engage and encourage employees to make a pledge to drive less. Provide ongoing assistance to employers to enhance, strengthen and grow their CTR program. Comprehensive planning & community goals Governor's Executive Order 14-04 Washington Carbon Reduction and Clean Energy Action directs state agencies to assist local governments to update their comprehensive plans to produce travel and land - use patterns that maximize efficiency in movement of goods and people, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 2 CTR Plan/Implementation Plan Update: 2015-2019 How does trip reduction support the goals of your community and comprehensive plan, and vice versa? How will you further integrate trip reduction through the updating of your comprehensive plan (e.g., parking, land use)? Creating and maintaining an expedient transportation system is one of the main goals of the City's comprehensive plan. Trip reduction reduces the need for costly infrastructure expansion and allows tax dollars to be more effectively spent on a diverse transportation system with a variety of options that is less costly to maintain. Additionally, trip reduction results in less pollution, creating a healthier environment for our public. Updates to the comprehensive plan are guided by policies. Crucial to land use development and management is having high-capacity transportation corridors, public transportation services, mixed-use design, and pedestrian friendly neighborhoods that all promote trip reduction. Following is a summary of elements of the City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan that pursue the use of commute alternatives. (Relevant Excerpts from the Comprehensive Plan — Results in Non -Sequential Numbering) Policy Topic 5 — Transportation Policies 5. Local jurisdictions shall develop and adopt land use plans that have been coordinated through the Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) to ensure that they preserve and enhance the regional transportation system. These plans may include high-capacity transportation corridors and shall fulfill air quality conformity and financial requirements of Federal Transportation Laws and Regulations, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and the GMA. 6. Local jurisdictions shall designate within land use plans areas that can support public transportation services. These areas shall include existing as well as new development. Each jurisdiction's land use plan, the regional transportation plan and the Spokane Transit Authority's (STA) Long Range Transit Plan shall support, complement and be consistent with each other. 11. Each jurisdiction shall address land use designations and site design requirements that are supportive of and compatible with public transportation, for example: a. pedestrian -scale neighborhoods and activity centers; b. mixed-use development; and c. pedestrian friendly and non -motorized design. A return to mixed-use development will also contribute to fewer trips and fewer miles traveled as demonstrated in Chapter 2.5.4 2.5.4 Mixed-use CTR Plan/Implementation Plan Update: 2015-2019 The concept of "Mixed-use" has been around for centuries. Prior to the advent of the automobile and the proliferation of the road and highway system, Mixed-use was a predominant urban form. The "rediscovery" of this development type may be due in part to the negative impacts of sprawl, which have resulted in traffic congestion, decline in air quality, and inefficient use of resources and infrastructure. Mixed-use development has several potential benefits: • Land and infrastructure resources are used more efficiently; • Pedestrian -friendly neighborhoods; • Jobs are located near housing; • Opportunities to revitalize commercial corridors; • Opportunities for infill residential development (primarily in corridors); • Encourage new housing and innovative retail that is less auto dependent; and • Compatibility with existing transit access along local corridors. The design of the urban environment as detailed in Chapter 2.7, also places a priority on elements that contribute to trip reduction, including: • Integration and linking of neighborhoods including bicycle and pedestrian facilities; • The effect of traffic patterns and parking on neighborhood character. Chapter 2.9 details the connection between land use planning and transportation and how the City can benefit from cultivating alternative forms of transportation and mitigating the impact of the automobile. 2.9.1 Street Connectivity Street design can have a significant impact on community development. It is important that neighborhoods be connected is such a manner that cars, bicycles and pedestrians can pass with ease from one neighborhood to an adjacent neighborhood via collectors and arterials. Such a pattern promotes a sense of community. All new developments should give special consideration to emergency access routes. 2.9.2 Traffic Calming Traffic calming can be defined as measures that physically alter the operational characteristics of the roadway in an attempt to slow down traffic and reduce the negative effects of the automobile. The theory behind traffic calming is that roads should be multiuse spaces encouraging social links within a community and the harmonious interaction of various modes of travel (i.e., walking, cycling, auto, transit). The following Land Use Goal and Policies align with commute trip reduction goals. LUP-1.4 Encourage the development of transportation routes and facilities to serve residential CTR Plan/Implementation Plan Update: 2015-2019 neighborhoods. Special attention should be given to pedestrian circulation. LUP-2.3 Encourage the development of transportation routes and facilities to serve residential neighborhoods. Special attention should be given to walking, biking and transit uses. LUP-3.3 Allow narrower public street sections that are economically viable for infill development, meet transportation, emergency access, and pedestrian needs while reducing stormwater impacts. LUP-3.4 Promote a public street network that provides connected neighborhoods for pedestrians, bicycles, and vehicles. LUP-4.1 Encourage transformation of Sprague Avenue Regional/Community Commercial corridor into a quality mixed-use retail area. Retail development along the corridor should be concentrated at arterial intersections and designed to integrate auto, pedestrian, and transit circulation. Integration of public amenities and open space into retail and office development should also be encouraged. LUP-5.2 Encourage pedestrian and bicycle access to neighborhood shopping and services. LUP-5.3 Encourage retail and personal services to group together within planned centers to allow for ease of pedestrian movement. LUP-5.7 Develop design guidelines that encourage quality design and pedestrian and vehicle circulation in commercial, office and Mixed-use developments. LUP-5.8 Develop design guidelines to encourage commercial development to locate along the street edge (where deemed appropriate) to provide pedestrian street access. LUP-7.1 Encourage pedestrian and bicycle circulation by providing public sidewalks, street trees, street furniture and other amenities. LUP-7.2 Require clear and safe pedestrian paths to enhance the pedestrian network. LUP-7.3 Connect the main entry of buildings to public sidewalks by an identifiable walkway. LUP-7.4 Encourage transit use by improving pedestrian and bicycle linkages to the existing and future transit system. LUP-8.2 Integrate sidewalks, bike lanes, landscaping, and area lighting in office areas to provide a safe and attractive working environment. LUP-9.1 The characteristics of a Mixed-use area should include: • Housing and employment densities to support regional transit service; • Public transit connections; • Safe, attractive transit stops and pedestrian and bicycle ways; 5 CTR Plan/Implementation Plan Update: 2015-2019 • Buildings that front on wide sidewalks with attractive landscaping, benches and frequent bus stops; • Multi -story buildings oriented to the street rather than parking lots; and • Parking space located behind or to the side of buildings or in parking structures. LUP-10.3 Encourage shared -use parking, pedestrian access and transit incentive programs in industrial development projects. LUP-16.1 Encourage new developments, including multifamily projects, to be arranged in a pattern of connecting streets and blocks to allow people to safely get around easily by foot, bicycle, bus, or car. LUP-16.2 Develop street, pedestrian path and bike path standards that contribute to a system of fully connected routes. LUP-16.4 Connect neighborhood services, public open space and parks with multi -modal paths. Lastly, the City has adopted a Bike and Pedestrian Master Program (Attached) and created a connected system of bikeways and sidewalks/paths to allow bike riders and pedestrians to move easily about the City. Land use and transportation conditions How do existing and future anticipated land -use and transportation conditions affect CTR worksites? The City of Spokane Valley has identified several CTR related projects as a priority in the upcoming years. Council has adopted the City's Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) 2015-2019 which identifies eight projects that will provide infrastructure improvements including sidewalks, bike lanes, multi -use paths, and pedestrian -friendly traffic signals. Six of these projects are related entirely to the promotion of alternative transportation modes. The cost of these projects is $4,752,000. Two other projects are street projects that will add sidewalks and bike lanes to existing streets. The estimated related CTR cost of these two projects is $1,163,400. Financial plan What are the anticipated funding sources and amounts for local trip reduction, including grants and local funding? The CTR program in the City of Spokane Valley is administered by Spokane County through an inter -local CTR Plan/Implementation Plan Update: 2015-2019 agreement. State funding is allocated and based on the approved state budget and on how many affected worksites are in the City of Spokane Valley. In addition, Spokane County secures CMAQgrants to help enhance and maintain the CTR program and will continue to apply for the grants when available, approximately every three years.

Bicycling in urban areas has grown dramatically in the last decade due to factors such as healthier lifestyles, rising fuel costs and a desire to lessen impacts on the environment. By creating safe places to ride, the development of new facility types such as bike lanes, bicycle friendly routes, and shared use paths have enabled more people to use bike transportation. In addition, as the importance of a healthy lifestyle has grown, the desire to incorporate exercise through walking has also grown. As a basic form of mobility, virtually all trips—regardless of mode—start and end with walking. The City of Spokane Valley has the essential elements to create a great place to bike and walk. Most streets connect, congestion is minimal, the terrain is flat, and weather is suitable many months of the year. For these reasons, biking and walking is a great way to get around the City. Where there are close links between home and destinations (such as school, work, and shops) walking and cycling can be the preferred and efficient way to move from place to place. Promoting walking and bicycling can help ease congestion, address weight and health issues and enhance the livability and economic vitality of our community. They help promote interaction between neighbors, strengthen connection to the community, provide `eyes -on -the -street' security, and support local retail activity. By comparison, streets and places where people are not present often feel uncomfortable and barren. Cities around the nation with the most positive economic growth and solid resources from tourism, general retail and other sources are places where people can come and feel comfortable. 11.0.2 Overview As an element of the City of Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan, this chapter is organized to present background data concerning bike and pedestrian facilities (Section 11.1), applicable federal, state and local codes relating to the topic (section 11.2), and a set of goals and objectives (section 11.3). Section 11.4, contains city-wide bike and pedestrian facility improvements, potential education, enforcement and evaluation tools. As a policy document, this chapter will guide decisions regarding multi -modal transportation facilities. As an implementation tool, it will detail priorities and standards for development. 11.0.3 Vision Statements To increase opportunities for non -motorized transportation that improve the connectivity, safety, convenience and attractiveness of the pedestrian and bicycle network in the City of Spokane Valley. To identify and prioritize facility recommendations based on thorough data collection and analysis, community visioning, regional collaboration, engineering assessment and preliminary cost estimates. 11.0.4 Process Several steps were involved in creating the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program. a. Data Collection A comprehensive field inventory of existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities was conducted, identifying constraints and opportunities for improvements. The City coordinated with adjacent jurisdictions as well as bike, pedestrian and health advocates, property owners and other stakeholders. This step incorporated a thorough review of the existing adopted Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, including a review of the bike facility map, goals and policies related to bike and walking activity, as well as a review of recently approved similar Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 – Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 1 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan plans in the region. Accident data and funding sources for potential future projects were also gathered. A sidewalk inventory completed by students at Washington State University (WSU) was added to the City's GIS system. b. Public Outreach This Bike and Pedestrian Master Program (BPMP) was created over a year and a half period with participation from a diverse group of citizens, residents and interested parties. A contact database was created to ensure interested parties were notified throughout the development of the plan. Over 900 contacts were included within five months of initiation. The first in a series of BPMP workshops was held on June 16, 2010. A diverse group voiced opinions and concerns on bicycling and walking in the City. Through an interactive exercise, the participants identified destinations, obstacles, and preferred routes for bike and pedestrian facilities. An on-line survey was made available through the City's web page. Over 350 responses were received from the online survey, indicating a significant level of interest. The short, non -statistical survey gathered additional insight into the biking and walking experience in Spokane Valley and into desired routes and destinations. c. Connectivity Assessment and Route Recommendations From the gathered data, a preliminary connection assessment and potential route recommendations were developed. Details of existing rights-of-way, pavement width, driveway approaches and traffic counts were gathered. d. Continued Public Outreach A second community workshop was held on September 19, 2010 to present preliminary bike and pedestrian routes and connections based on the information gathered at the first workshop and through the on-line survey. The Spokane Regional Health District presented information on health impacts associated with alternative modes of transportation. By prioritizing potential projects, participants helped create a vision of a comprehensive bike and pedestrian network. The workshops were publicized online, at schools, bike shops and community facilities throughout the City. In addition, staff prepared newsletters and maintained a BPMP page on the City of Spokane Valley website. Quarterly updates were presented to the City Council as part of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) status reports. e. Safety Analysis and Prioritization of Improvements A portion of money from the City's EECBG funded an engineering consultant to review the proposed routes for safety, cost and prioritizations. This engineering assessment provides technical guidance to help ensure that proposed bike and pedestrian facilities, such as bike lanes on arterials or shared use paths in neighborhoods, are safe, functional, and appropriate for the set route. f. Plan Refinement, Review and Adoption Desired routes were refined based on technical input from the consultant. Classifications for both bicycle and pedestrian facilities were reviewed based on the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines and industry standards. Comprehensive Plan text, maps and exhibits were prepared. Priorities and preliminary implementation schedules were included. Additional workshops were held to gather input on the draft BPMP document. Finally, the BPMP was presented to both the Planning Commission and the City Council. 11.0.5 Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Technical Advisory Group Developing the BPMP resulted in partnerships and collaboration between the City, adjoining jurisdictions and many other interested agencies and individuals. Representatives from many of these groups served on the Bike and Pedestrian Technical Advisory Group (BPTAG). The BPTAG Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 2 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan met several times to review and make recommendations on potential routes, facilities and implementation strategies. 11.0.6 Partnerships Preparation of the BPMP has involved a wide range of people and agencies. Partnerships and collaboration contributes to the quality and integrity of the program. Maintaining these partnerships will contribute toward successful implementation and realization of shared goals. a. Spokane Regional Health District The Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) serves as the area's public health leader and partner in protecting and improving the health of the community. The Health District's Physical Activity program works with community coalitions, elected officials, citizen groups and other organizations to encourage policies that make it easier for people to be physically active. An analysis of existing social, economic and health statistics of the residents of the City of Spokane Valley was prepared by the SRHD epidemiologist. The role of SRHD was to bring awareness of the positive health impact bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure can have on a community. b. School Districts and Safe Routes to School Safe Routes to School is a national program aimed at enabling community leaders, schools and parents across the country to improve safety and encourage more children to be active by safely walking and bicycling to school. In the process, work associated with Safe Routes to School contributes to reducing traffic congestion, improving physical health, and making communities more livable overall. The SRHD along with the City, Bicycle Alliance of Washington, Central Valley School District, East Valley School District, and West Valley School District worked diligently through the 2010/2011 school year to prepare walking audits of all elementary and middle schools. Walking audits are detailed surveys of streets and sidewalks within a one -mile radius surrounding a school using the Safe Walk and Bike Routes: A Guide for Planning and Improving Walk and Bike to School Options for Students (site: WSDOT and WTSC 2010). Results of the audits are used to prepare preferred walking routes for students and to identify and prioritize street and sidewalk safety projects. Continued coordinated efforts between school districts, SRHD and the City will aid in the successful implementation of safe routes for pedestrians of all ages. c. Spokane Transit Authority The Spokane Transit Authority (STA) is a regional public transportation agency providing a variety of transportation options, including bus service to the City of Spokane Valley. The transit system effectively expands the area that pedestrians are able to access for daily services and activities. STA's database of pedestrian paths throughout its service area was used as base data for the City's sidewalk inventory, gap analysis and recommended pedestrian network. The data identified barriers to people using the sidewalk network to access the bus system. d. Bicycle Alliance of Washington The Bicycle Alliance of Washington is a non-profit organization advocating for bicyclists and bike -friendly communities throughout Washington. The Alliance works toward increasing the percentage of all types of bicycle riders and increasing funding available for inclusive, non -motorized transportation facilities. The Alliance works closely with Safe Routes to School programs and serves as a clearinghouse for bicycle education and advocacy. e. Washington State University In 2007, Washington State University Interdisciplinary Design Institute (WSU) created a pedestrian model by mapping pedestrian networks throughout Spokane Transit Authority's service area, identifying barriers such as the absence of sidewalks and curb ramps, and non -ADA compliant variations in the surface condition, height, width, and slope of Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 3 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan pedestrian facilities. The data has been used to identify existing routes and to determine sidewalk infill priorities. By partnering with the City, data developed through the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program will be used to update the WSU pedestrian network model. In turn, the model will be useful in prioritizing pedestrian improvements in an effort to increase safety throughout the City. f. Spokane Regional Transportation Council The Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) is the local metropolitan planning organization encouraging coordination and collaboration between planning and transportation departments throughout the region. SRTC maintains the Transportation Improvement Program, a three-year list of state and federally -funded transportation projects, and the Metropolitan Transportation Plan in Spokane County, a document addressing transportation needs for the next 20 years. SRTC recognizes that walking and bicycling are simple and efficient modes of travel that can increase public transit ridership. Coordination between the City and SRTC will create opportunities to implement effective non -motorized projects and programs. 11.1 Planning Context The Bike and Pedestrian Element of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan expands on the Transportation Element to focus on non -motorized transportation. Also referred to as the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program, this element is consistent with the overall Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Land Use, Transportation, Parks and Recreation and Neighborhood Elements. 11.1.1 GMA The Washington Growth Management Act (GMA), the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) provide for the inclusion of non -motorized transportation elements in comprehensive plans. Bike and pedestrian planning is sometimes included in the land use, transportation or recreation elements. Using a separate element to address opportunities and constraints specific to these non -motorized forms of transportation allows the City of Spokane Valley to focus on improvements that enhance the livability and economic vitality of our community. 11.1.2 County -Wide Planning Policies County Wide Planning Policies (CWPP) provide a policy framework for the County and its respective cities. Specifically items 10 and 16 under Policy Topic 5 — Transportation, state: 10. Each jurisdiction should coordinate its housing and transportation strategies to support existing, or develop new, public multimodal transportation systems. 16. Each jurisdiction shall address energy consumption/conservation by: a. Designing transportation improvements for alternatives to the single -occupant vehicle; b. Locating and adopting design standards for new development to support pedestrian or non -motorized travel; c. Providing regulatory and financial incentives to promote efforts of the public and private sector to conserve energy; and d. Reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled and number of vehicle trips. As described in Section 11.0.6 above, the SRTC is the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Spokane region. SRTC maintains the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), a 20 -year strategy to meet the transportation needs of the region. MTP goals related to non -motorized transportation include: • Establishing a bicycle and pedestrian program that will increase the mode -share of people walking and bicycling as a means of transportation over the next 20 years; • Eliminating barriers that discourage or prohibit pedestrian or bicycle access; Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 4 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • Identifying the needs and gaps in the regional bicycle and pedestrian system; and • Encouraging connections between residential areas and adjacent land uses to enhance awareness and cooperation between all roadway users. The MTP facilitated the creation of three complementary products: the Spokane Regional Bike Plan (adopted in 2008); the Spokane Regional Pedestrian Plan (adopted in 2009) and the SmartRoutes program. All of these were collaborative efforts with SRTC, the Spokane Regional Health District, the Active Transportation Technical Committee (including representatives from the City of Spokane Valley and other cities and towns) and a citizen -based steering committee. Each of these documents encourages jurisdictions to tailor the regional plans to their own needs and to use them for guidance to develop appropriate bicycle and pedestrian projects that traverse jurisdictional lines. 11.2 Existing Setting 11.2.1 Comprehensive Plan The City of Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan includes goals and policies to guide development within the City. All elements within the Comprehensive Plan must be internally consistent. Goals found within other elements encourage the development and implementation of a bike and pedestrian system within the City. The following are from the Land Use, Transportation, Natural Environment and the Parks and Recreation elements: Land Use - Goal LUG -7 Provide a balanced transportation network that accommodates public transportation, high occupancy vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, automobiles and integrated parking. Transportation - Goal TG -9 Enhance community livability and transportation by encouraging a connected system of pedestrian and bicycle ways that is integrated into a coordinated regional network. Natural Environment - Goal NEG -20 Support regional efforts to improve air quality. Parks and Recreation - Goal PRG -4 Based upon budgetary resources, promote, develop, operate and maintain a comprehensive trail/bicycle system within Spokane Valley that provides non -motorized travel (walking, bicycling, skating, and horseback riding) to meet city residents recreation, fitness and commuting needs. 11.2.2 Current Activity a. Collision Data The Washington State Department of Transportation maintains records of pedestrian and bicycle collision data. Between 2003 (incorporation) and 2010, there were six fatalities and 295 serious or disabling injuries in Spokane Valley associated with pedestrian and bicycle collisions. On average, there are 41 pedestrian and bicycle collisions per year. The majority of the collisions occurred on major arterials including Argonne, Pines and Sullivan Roads. It is estimated that many bicycle and pedestrian collisions have happened but have not been reported. b. Citizen Input To ensure the bike and pedestrian system reflects the community's desires, an extensive outreach component was built into the process. As described in the previous section, this process included workshops and an on-line survey. The results showed that a majority of respondents walk or bicycle for exercise/health, enjoyment, or to commute to work/school. When asked what prevents a person from biking or walking, an overwhelming 70% of the Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 5 of 18 1 M City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan respondents said it was due to the lack of facilities. The results showed the community's desire to see improved bike and pedestrian facilities in or around the following six routes: 1. Sprague Avenue 2. Pines Road 3. 32nd Ave / Dishman Mica 4. Argonne / Mullan corridor 5. Valleyway Avenue (as a bicycle friendly route) 6. Sullivan Road Many mentioned the need for more north/south connections to the Centennial Trail. The preferred facilities were bike lanes and shared use paths. The graphs below illustrate the respondent's views. 94% Why do you bike or walk?

Health Data As part of the initial community workshops, the SRHD prepared information correlating active lifestyles, including bicycle and pedestrian commutes, to improved health. Sedentary lifestyles can contribute to obesity. Obesity can be defined as a person with a body mass index of 30 or greater. Obesity can contribute to illnesses including heart disease and strokes, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes and some forms of cancer. Lack of physical activity increases health risks, resulting in increased costs for medical care, worker compensation and lost productivity. Obesity and lack of activity contribute to chronic diseases including cancer, heart and respiratory disease. The top five causes of death in Spokane Valley are shown below: Literature reviews have shown that urban design and land use policies creating opportunities for physical activity within communities have been effective and are considered best practices for increasing a community's health and reducing obesity. More than half of Spokane County's carbon monoxide emissions are from vehicle sources. Reducing vehicle trips by accommodating and encouraging active transportation can positively impacts health by improving air quality. SRHD also considers socio-economic factors as they relate to health. A link exists between education, poverty, and mobility choices. In Spokane Valley, between 2004 and 2008, 37.4 percent of the population had less than a high school diploma or GED. The amount of education a person achieves influences their ability to earn a certain standard of living. Between 2004 and 2008, 43.9 percent of the City's population was at or below the 200 percent federal poverty level. That is more than twice the national average. A substantial percentage of the population either cannot afford automobile transportation, or affording it is a financial hardship. For these people, in addition to the young in age and the older population, getting around by other alternatives such as walking, bicycling or transit is a necessity. Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 9 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 11.2.3 Existing Bicycle System Though developed as a compilation of rural townships over time, the City of Spokane Valley has a strong grid pattern of streets. The placement of principal and minor arterials, collectors and local access streets overlaid on the relatively flat topography provides an excellent base for non - motorized transportation. a. Types of Bicycle Users There are many types of bicyclists with varying skills and levels of comfort in terms of riding in traffic. While bicyclists can be loosely categorized as experienced adult, casual adult and child cyclists, there are many levels of cycling competency and just as many opinions as to what makes an ideal bike route. Some experienced cyclists ride on busy arterial streets regardless of bicycle facilities. Some cyclists will ride on busy roads only if bike lanes are provided. Some will use the lanes only if parallel residential roads are unavailable. b. Existing Bicycle Facilities A combination of striped bike lanes, posted bicycle friendly routes and separated bike facilities are found throughout the City. In addition, other streets act as informal routes, favored by bicycle commuters as safe and convenient alternatives to bike ways with heavy automobile traffic. The following different types of bicycle facilities, as defined by the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) are found throughout Spokane Valley: i. Shared Use Path: Facilities on separated right-of-way and with minimal cross flow by motor vehicles. Minimum width is six feet; optimal width is ten feet. Shared use paths may also be used by pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users, joggers and other non - motorized users. • The Centennial Trail is an example of a shared use path in the City. With connections through adjacent jurisdictions, it is an important regional recreational and commuting facility. Other shared use paths exist along the south side of Appleway Avenue from Sprague Avenue to the eastern City boundary and on Sullivan Road, from Centennial Trail to just south of Trent Road. ii. Bike Lanes: A portion of a roadway designated by striping, signing and pavement markings for the preferential or exclusive use by bicyclists. The required width of a bike lane on a given street varies based on several factors, such as existence of a gutter and curb. Parking and traffic volume must be considered as well. AASHTO and SRTC (Spokane Regional Transportation Council) guidelines recommend that for a street without gutter or curb, the minimum width of the bike lane should be four feet. If the street includes curb and gutter, the minimum width should be five feet. In situations where parking is permitted without any striping or stalls, AASHTO guidelines recommend an 11 -foot bike lane width. Bicycle lanes improve conditions for cyclists of all abilities within a given corridor and encourage increased bicycle use by providing a greater degree of comfort and perceived safety for less skilled cyclists. • Striped bicycle lanes are located along several arterials, including 32nd Avenue, portions of Broadway, Evergreen Road, Mission Road, Sprague Avenue and 16th Avenue. Mirabeau Parkway from Pines Road to Indiana Avenue and Indiana Avenue from Mirabeau to Evergreen Road are also improved with bike lanes. iii. Signed Shared Roadway: Signed lane allowing both vehicular and bicycle traffic. Minimum width is 14 feet. Signed shared roadways indicate to cyclists that there are particular advantages to using these routes compared to alternate routes. • In the City of Spokane Valley, signed shared roadways exist on 4th Avenue from University to Conklin, and on Trent from Flora to the eastern city boundary. Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 10 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan iv. Shared Roadway: Lane allowing both vehicular and bicycle traffic. No signing is involved. • All public streets in the City of Spokane Valley can be defined as shared roadways. Existing bike facilities in the City of Spokane Valley are shown in Map 11.1. Other bicycle facilities found throughout the City include bicycle parking facilities at some commercial, public and office facilities and bicycle racks on transit vehicles. c. System Deficiencies Barriers surrounding both recreation and commuting bicycle activity throughout the City include crossing Interstate 90, railroad tracks, and the Spokane River. Currently, principal arterials cross these barriers. However, the limited space for bike facilities on these arterials plus the traffic volume hinders the safety and comfort for many riders. This impacts those trying to access commercial and employment centers in the north part of the City as well as those trying to access the Centennial Trail. Other factors impacting bicycle activity include impaired sight distances, limited street connectivity, cyclist and motorist behaviors, lack of way -finding signs, and maintenance issues. 11.2.4 Existing Pedestrian System a. Types of Pedestrians For trips of a certain length, walking is a simple affordable way to get around. Spokane Valley, with relatively flat terrain and a predominately grid street pattern, has great opportunities for pedestrians of all kinds. People choose to walk for many reasons including recreation and necessity. Pedestrians include adults, children, seniors, people without cars and people with disabilities. Those with higher levels of transportation choice, i.e. those specifically able to afford cars and of driving age, make use of autos for most trips. This situation is not so much a reflection of popular transportation preferences but of the many auto -dominated land use and transportation decisions that created present day Spokane Valley. Citizens, including those driving cars as well as seniors, youth and people with disabilities, need safety, connectivity and accessibility. b. Existing Pedestrian Facilities Sidewalk inventories were performed by City staff as part of the analyses conducted for the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program and the American with Disabilities Act transition plan. Also, in association with the Safe Routes to School program, volunteers from all elementary and middle schools in the City conducted walking audits to determine potential routes to their schools and to identify missing sidewalk segments, potential pedestrian conflicts and existing safe haven areas for students. The existing pedestrian system in Spokane Valley includes sidewalks, shared use paths, wide shoulders on rural roads and residential streets. Generally, sidewalks exist on most of the existing arterials and range in width from three to six feet. In addition, most streets surrounding elementary, middle and high school facilities are improved with sidewalks. Several shared -use paths, intended for all types of non -motorized transportation, are located throughout the City (see section on existing bicycle facilities above). Map 11.3 shows locations of existing sidewalk facilities. Other infrastructure associated with pedestrian activity includes curb ramps, intersection markings, cross walks with and without associated signals, benches and shelters for transit facilities, and street trees. c. System Deficiencies: For the most part, sidewalks on arterials are constructed adjacent to the curb and lanes where cars are traveling in excess of 30 and 40 miles per hour, impacting pedestrian comfort and safety. In addition, while current development standards require separated sidewalks, there are portions where sidewalks were not built with initial street construction. Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 11 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Other factors making walking difficult include crosswalk issues on high-volume streets, obstructions such as power poles and utility boxes in the sidewalk, outdated or non-existent curb ramps, poor lighting, limited facilities at transit stops, and maintenance issues. 11.3 Goals and Policies Spokane Valley is intended to become a bicycle and pedestrian friendly City, where bicycling and walking are encouraged and promoted as safe and convenient forms of transportation and recreation. Goals help guide actions towards fulfilling this vision. Policies are more specific statements relating to implementing measures that will achieve the goals. As with many cities, Spokane Valley has limited funds with which to pursue its bike and pedestrian goals. Focused and prioritized resources will aid the City in having a positive impact on non - motorized transportation infrastructure. The City will strive to make strategic investments of the limited resources available and where possible, leverage resources in cooperation with other governmental and private agencies. The following goals and policies are consistent with the goals and policies of other chapters of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, with the Countywide Planning Policies and the Growth Management Act. Network and Facilities Goal & Policies Goal BP -1 Provide a comprehensive bikeway and pedestrian system connecting residential neighborhoods with parks, schools, commercial areas, trails, and employment areas within the City and to adjacent jurisdictions.

BP -4.7 Direct the use of the CDBG funds for the benefit of citizens in low and moderate - income neighborhoods to develop pedestrian connections that would provide public transit access to critical services for these citizens and pedestrian routes that enable children to safely walk to school in these neighborhoods. 11.4 Bike and Pedestrian Master Program 11.4.1 Engineering Improvements a. Overall Bicycle and Pedestrian Network The City of Spokane Valley Bike and Pedestrian Master Program is based on field data, citizen input and engineering analysis of constraints and opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. It should be noted that this is a master program, not a detailed feasibility analysis. As such, exact routing and designations could be modified during the course of more detailed studies of specific projects. The recommended bikeway network is shown in Map 11.2 and recommended pedestrian network is shown in Map 11.4. Map 11.5 shows the recommended travel ways for the schools that participated in the safe routes to school exercise. b. Possible Engineering Solutions The specific types of bike and pedestrian treatments that are applied to roads vary depending on the existing right-of-way, traffic counts, traffic speeds, roadway cross sections, number of approaches or driveways on the street and topography. A brief description of bicycle treatments is provided below. More specific design guidelines including the complete toolbox and typical cross section layouts are found in Appendix 2: Facility Design Guidelines. i. Bicycle Friendly Routes — Bicycle friendly routes are roadways with low speeds and low volumes. The treatments recommended for bicycle routes should strive to improve through movements for bicyclists and other non -motorized modes. Bicycle route treatments are ideal on two-lane roadways where traffic volume is less than 3,000 vehicles per day (although less than 1,500 vehicles per day is preferred) and posted speeds of 25 miles per hour or less. See Appendix 2 for specific bicycle friendly route treatments and cross sections. ii. Bicycle Lanes - Bicycle lanes designate an exclusive part of the roadway (typically on the right side of the roadway) to be used by bicyclists only. A bike lane is typically located between the right most traffic lane and the curb or on street parking area. A bicycle lane should be considered on roadways with traffic volumes greater than 3,000 vehicles per day or posted speeds greater than 25 miles per hour. Appendix 2 includes a variety of bicycle lane treatments from a standard bike lane to buffered bike lanes and climbing lanes. The appendix also includes cross sections showing how bike lanes could be applied to existing City roadways. iii. Cycle Tracks - A cycle track is an exclusive bike facility separated from vehicle traffic and the sidewalk, and is intended to provide improved comfort and safety for the bicyclist as compared to an on -street bike lane. The cycle track can be separated from vehicle traffic using a variety of treatments (curbs, planter strips, on -street parking, pavement markings, or other options). In addition, the cycle track should be clearly defined from sidewalks (grade separated, pavement markings, or an alternate clear indication) to prevent bicycle conflicts with pedestrians. A cycle track requires a wider cross section than a typical bike lane, but should be considered on roadways where bicyclists may not feel comfortable biking directly adjacent to vehicle traffic. Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 14 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan iv. Shared Use Paths — Shared use paths are physically separated from the roadway and are intended for use by pedestrians, bicyclists, runners and other non -motorized users. Shared use paths supplement bike lanes, bicycle friendly routes and sidewalks and connect to these other facilities at ends of the path as well as midway, depending on the length and location. The number of driveways and crossings should be minimized when designing a shared use path. Generally, if there are more than eight crossings per mile, an on -street facility should be considered instead. v. Bicycle Intersection Treatments - Intersection treatments improve the safety of bicyclists through an intersection (typically a signalized intersection). Depending on the characteristics of the cross streets (traffic and bicycle volumes, traffic and bicycle speeds, type of bicycle facility, number of vehicles and/or bikes turning, visibility, surrounding land use, and other factors) a range of treatments may be applicable. Appendix 2 provides specific intersection treatment guidelines and criteria. vi. Mid -Block Crossing Treatments - Mid -block crossings can be dangerous for bicyclists because drivers are not typically expecting a crossing at a non -intersection location. The need for a mid -block crossing may arise if two bicycle facilities are off -set or if a trail intersects a roadway at mid -block. In these situations, mid -block crossing treatments can be applied to improve the safety. vii. Wayfinding - Wayfinding is meant to be used by bicyclists while en route to communicate directions, distance and sometimes expected travel time to a particular destination. Wayfinding is typically accomplished through the use of signs supplemented at times with pavement markings. Wayfinding can be beneficial to all types of bicycle facilities. viii. Prioritization Criteria — Bicycle Network The overall bicycle and pedestrian networks will be implemented over time. The criteria contained in Appendix 1 has been used to determine where to focus available funding and staff time to implement bicycle facility projects. Priority is given to those projects anticipated to serve the most number of people and to contribute to overall safety. ix. Prioritization Criteria — Pedestrian Network The criteria contained in Appendix 1 was used to determine where to focus available funding and staff time to implement pedestrian facility projects. Priority is given to those projects anticipated to serve the most number of people and to contribute to overall safety. x. Network Improvements Facility improvements, summarized in Appendix 1, are categorized as short-term and long-term projects based on need and ease of implementation. 11.4.2 Ancillary Facilities Ancillary facilities add to the safety and comfort of using walking and bicycling as modes of transportation. Ancillary facilities can include bicycle parking, showers and lockers, transit features and bicycle and pedestrian maps. Crosswalk design can aid in increasing visibility through the use of specific striping patterns and lights. The following methods address ancillary features: a. Pedestrian Features: Encourage that pedestrian crossing facilities, including crosswalks and signage, alert both motorists and pedestrians to the presence of the facility. Work with developers and utilities to remove existing hazards such as light poles and utility boxes from the sidewalk. Where appropriate, constrain roadway width Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 15 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan with bulb -outs and tighter right turns at intersections to slow vehicles as they approach areas with high pedestrian volumes. Provide sidewalks or pedestrian paths between neighborhoods and commercial or public destinations where appropriate. Encourage clearly identified safe walking paths between public sidewalks and commercial buildings. b. Bicycle Parking: Continue to require bicycle racks for new development. Consider developing standards for the size of bicycle parking spaces, clearance, aisles, signs, anchoring, non-interference with pedestrian circulation, and weather protection. c. Shower and Locker Facilities: Continue to coordinate with Spokane County Commute Trip Reduction program to encourage shower and locker facilities as tenant benefits and to encourage employers to consider partnering with nearby gym facilities for use of existing shower facilities. d. Transit Features: Continue as an active partner with the Spokane Regional Transportation Council and the Spokane Transit Authority to encourage the accommodation of bike lockers and bikes on transit vehicles. 11.4.3 Education and Encouragement Unfortunately, too many bicyclists in the United States lack the basic skills or knowledge to safely ride a bicycle in traffic. Many people are afraid of bicycling on streets. Bicycle education programs are designed to increase bicycle safety by improving the ability to ride with traffic as well as improve motorist awareness. The difficulties faced in helping people develop this skill and knowledge stems from the wide range of age groups that require this training and the necessity to tailor the programs to each group. Bicycle education programs should be directed at children bicyclists, adult bicyclists and motorists. The following methods address education and encouragement: a. Child Education and Encouragement: In conjunction with the Health District, school districts and other interested organizations, encourage development of bicycle education programs for several age groups or use existing programs that have demonstrated effectiveness. Programs could be incorporated into existing summer parks programming and existing school programming. Programs could include bicycle helmet safety information, maintenance and repair, safe riding habits and bicycle rides. More specifically, students in grades K-3 could be taught basic pedestrian skills, stranger danger, crossing residential streets, using pedestrian push buttons and taking a school bus. Older students in Grades 4 to 5 could learn bike safety and handling skills, including bike operation on streets with supervised bike rides on neighborhood streets. Later, in Grades 7-9, students could learn basic mobility skills of how to get around town including using transit for utilitarian and recreational trips (e.g., how to read a bus schedule, execute a transfer, take rapid transit), and more on safe bicycling practices. In tenth grade, many students take driver's education. The driver's education curriculum could include focused instruction on how motorists should interact with pedestrians and bicyclists, how to predict their movements, pass safely and learn when different modes have the right-of-way. b. Adult Education and Encouragement: Continue to partner with the Health District, Police Department, SCOPE and other interested organizations to develop adult pedestrian and bicycle program(s) which could include a public awareness campaign focused on responsible road behavior. The campaign could be directed to pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists alike and make use of public service space from newspapers, television, radio, bus advertising, posters and flyers included in utility bills. In addition, promote community events such as Bike to Work Week, charity bike rides, costume rides, bike fairs and bicycle rodeos. Include bicycle safety checks and safety information. Incorporate "share the road" signs where appropriate on City streets and include "sharing the road" or other safety campaign information on the City's webpage. Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 16 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 11.4.4 Enforcement While laws that address bicyclists' behavior and safety are in place, they are sometimes not fully enforced. Effective enforcement leads to a safer environment for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists alike. The following methods address enforcement of this Bike and Pedestrian Master Program: a. Law Enforcement: Work with the Spokane Valley Police Department to develop a policy to include the City's intent to enforce existing laws affecting pedestrian, bicyclist and motorist responsibilities, including parking in bike lanes but especially those relating to drunken driving, careless driving, speeding and failing to yield. b. School Crossings: Continue assisting school districts to develop their Safe Routes to School programs to ensure safe crossing activity at school sites. Engage SCOPE as an additional presence where needed. c. Facility Upkeep: Continue existing program of regular maintenance of street and sidewalk facilities. Ensure that asphalt pavement overlays are flush with the concrete gutter and that utility covers are flush with the pavement. 11.4.5 Implementation and Funding Various portions of this Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Program can be implemented with existing procedures (such as paint applied when a road is resurfaced, continuing existing requirements and coordination with other agencies). Other portions will require further study, possible neighborhood input and detailed engineering design. Table 11.4.1 summarizes potential steps involved with implementation: Table 11.4.1 BPMP Implementation Summary Program or Improvement Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Improvements Ancillary Facilities Possible Implementation Step(s) Further studies to determine exact facility improvements to be implemented Neighborhood input Engineering design work Funding source identification Environmental review Application of requirements with development Coordination with other agencies Education and Program research and development Encouragement Programs Enforcement Programs Coordination with other agencies in developing programs Funding Source identification Lead Department Community Development; Public Works Community Development Public Works Community Development; Public Works Community Development; Public Works Community Development; Project Developers Community Development Community Development; Parks Department Community Development Community Development; Public Works As referenced in Table 11.4.1, funding would be required to implement many portions of the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program. Adopted 10-25-2011 (Updated 07-24-2013) Page 17 of 18 Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Detailed descriptions of funding sources, including match requirements and application timing, are contained in Appendix 3. Review of several funding programs reveals that while each grant announcement details specific criteria for funding, certain common threads are present. When applying for funding consider the following criteria: a. Partnership Funding is limited. Therefore, grant sources encourage and support cooperative regional projects and planning efforts that integrate housing, transportation, environmental impact and economic development. Projects that pull together public and private entities and multiple stakeholders are favored. b. Risk Reduction Crash data quantifies dangerous stretches of pedestrian and bicycle commute routes. Increasing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists encourages the larger community to consider these alternative modes of transportation. Projects designed to address a clear and demonstrated safety hazard are therefore encouraged. c. Location Bike and pedestrian facilities that link residential areas with schools, recreation facilities, and shopping areas result in a large benefit to a community. Encouraging alternative transportation to daily activities reduces car commutes and pollution. Well located projects also consider and provide for multi -generational users. d. Broad Project Scope Developing and encouraging use of an overall bike and pedestrian system is an on-going process. Implementing a successful bike and pedestrian master program includes identification of facility improvements, provisions for education, encouragement and enforcement, and program follow-up that provides for evaluation and adjustments over time. 11.4.6 Monitoring and Modifications Monitoring the effectiveness of the overall BPMP can be accomplished as part of the annual Comprehensive Plan review and update. Modifications to the Bicycle Map, the Pedestrian Map, the project implementation tables and other programs described in this Chapter can be accomplished as needed to achieve established goals. The City's web page can be updated with notices of projects that are in the planning, design, build or maintenance phase. Education and enforcement activities can be highlighted on the web page.

Consequently the expenditure figures reported herein will likely change materially in subsequent updates. By the same token the revenues figures reported at this point will also change materially as we await State distributions of shared revenues in January and February that date back to 2014, With that said we are in the preliminary phases of closing the 2014 books and hope to have this process complete by the end of March. Following the closing of the books we will begin the process of preparing our annual financial report which will be finished by the end of May. We hope to have the State Auditor's Office on site by early June to begin the audit of 2014. Lodging Tax The schedule leading to awarding funds is as follows: • September 3 — Courtesy letters mailed to agencies that have historically received funding, media release to City website and notice to newspapers. • October 3 - Grant applications due at City Hall. • October 27 - Grant applicant presentations to lodging tax advisory committee. • November 17 - Admin report to Council on results of lodging tax advisory committee meeting. • December 16 - City Council motion consideration: Award lodging tax for 2015. Noteworthy here is that at their December 16 meeting, Council remanded the lodging tax applications to the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee for reconsideration based upon Council adopted goals and priorities. Budget to Actual Comparison Retort A report reflecting 2014 Budget to Actual Revenues and Expenditures for those funds for which a 2014 Budget was adopted (and amended on November 17) is located on pages 5 through 17. Because we attempt to provide this information in a timely manner this report is prepared from PAFinancelFinance Activity Reports\Council Monthly Reporfs4201442014 12 PRELIMINARY No 1.docx Page 1 records that are not formally closed by the Finance Department at month end or reconciled to bank records, As I indicated earlier in this report, I anticipate updates to revenues and expenditures in all funds prior to the time the 2014 books are finally closed. We've included the following information in the report: • Revenues by source for all funds, and expenditures by department in the General Fund and by type in all other funds. • A breakdown between recurring and nonrecurring revenues and expenditures in the General Fund, Street O&M Fund and Stormwater Fund. • The change in fund balance including beginning and ending figures. The beginning fund balance figures are those that are reflected in our 2013 Annual Financial Report. • Columns of information include: o The amended 2014 Budget as adopted. o December 2014 activity. o Cumulative 2014 activity through December 2014. o Budget remaining in terms of dollars. o The percent of budgeted revenue collected or budgeted expenditures disbursed. A few points related to the General Fund #001 (page 5): Recurring revenues collections are currently at 96.41 % of the amount budgeted with 100.0% of the year elapsed. This is typical and reflective of the nature of the timing of when revenues are collected. • Property tax collections have reached $11,085,013 or 100.32% of the amount budgeted. Receiving more revenue than was actually assessed is a result of the assessor collecting delinquent taxes from previous years. Property taxes are paid to Spokane County in two installments each year on April 30 and October 31 and are then remitted to the City primarily in May and November with lesser amounts typically remitted in June and December. In January we receive one final payment related to 2014 collections. • Sales tax collections represent only 11 -months of collections thus far because taxes collected in December are not remitted to the City by the State until the latter part of January. Collections are currently $16,056,487 or 94.51% of the amount budgeted. • Gambling taxes currently total $404,931 or 65.59% of the amount budgeted. These taxes are paid quarterly with the fourth quarter taxes due by January 31. We anticipate that 2014 revenues will be less than budgeted due to the closure of a business in 2014 and this has been factored into the 2015 Budget estimate. • Franchise Fee and Business Registration revenues are typically received in the month following a calendar year quarter. So far in 2014 we have received $957,698 or 78.95% of the amount budgeted. Fourth quarter franchise fees will be received in January at which point I anticipate actual revenues will approximate the budget estimate. • State shared revenues are composed of State of Washington distributions that include items such as liquor board profits, liquor excise tax, streamlined sales tax mitigation and criminal justice monies. Most of these revenues are paid by the State in the month following a calendar quarter but some are only once per quarter. Through December we've received remittances totaling $1,713,882 or 90.85% of the amount budgeted. We will receive an additional payment related to the fourth quarter of 2014 in January at which point I anticipate actual revenues will approximate the budget estimate. • Fines, forfeitures and penalties revenues are composed of monthly remittances from Spokane County with payments made in the month following the actual assessment of a fine and false alarm fees. Through December 2014 we've received remittances through the month of November with receipts of $1,331,863 or 90.55% of the amount budgeted. December remittances should bring actual collections to slightly less than budgeted. P:1FinancelFinance Activity Reports1Council Monthly Reports12014t2014 12 PRELIMINARY No 1.dacx Page 2 • Community Development service revenues are largely composed of building permit and plan review fees as well as right of way permits. Revenues are currently $1,561,967 or 124.42% of the amount budgeted. • Recreation program fees are composed of revenues generated by the variety of parks and recreation programs including classes, swimming pools (in -season), and CenterPlace. Currently, revenues total $625,452 or 107.87% of the amount budgeted. Recurring expenditures are currently at 92.93% of the amount budgeted with 100.0% of the year elapsed. Once all invoices related to 2014 activity are received and booked I anticipate a higher percentage of the budget will be consumed. Investments (page 18) Investments at December 31 total $48,347,805 and are composed of $43,283,196 in the Washington State Local Government Investment Pool and $5,064,609 in bank CDs. Total Sales Tax Receipts (page 19) Total sales tax receipts reflect State remittances through December and total $18,141,936 including general, criminal justice and public safety taxes. This figure is $1,020,000 (5.96%) greater than for the same 11 -month period in 2013. Economic Indicators (pages 20 — 22) The following economic indicators provide information pertaining to three different sources of tax revenue that provide a good gauge of the health and direction of the overall economy. 1. Sales taxes (page 20) provide a sense of how much individuals and businesses are spending on the purchase of goods. 2. Hotel / Motel taxes (page 21) provide us with a sense of overnight stays and visits to our area by tourists or business travelers. 3. Real Estate Excise taxes (page 22) provide us with a sense of real estate sales. Page 20 provides a 10 -year history of general sales tax receipts (not including public safety or criminal justice) with monthly detail beginning January 2005. • Compared with calendar year 2013, 2014 collections have increased by $877,004 or 5.78%. • Noteworthy to 2014 collections is that they have in total approximated 2007 collections, the single year in which the City received the greatest amount of sales taxes to date. In other words it has taken seven years to catch up with pre -recession sales tax income. Through November, 2007 collections exceed 2014 collections by approximately $5,000. Page 21 provides a 10 -year history of hotel/motel tax receipts with monthly detail beginning January 2005. • Compared with calendar year 2013, 2014 collections have increased by $31,577 or 6.52%. • Collections reached an all-time high in 2013, exceeding the previous high in 2012 by $28,600. • 2014 collections will exceed those of 2013. Page 22 provides a 10 -year history of real estate excise tax receipts with monthly detail beginning January 2005. • Compared with calendar year 2013, 2014 collections have increased by $203,526 or 16.33%. • Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at nearly $2.6 million, decreased precipitously in 2008 and 2009, and are slowly gaining ground. P:tFinancelFinance Activity Reports1Council Monthly Reports12014t2014 12 PRELIMINARY Na 1.docx Page 3 Debt Capacity and Bonds Outstandinct (page 23) This page provides information on the City's debt capacity, or the dollar amount of General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds the City may issue, as well as an amortization schedule of the bonds the City currently has outstanding. • The maximum amount of G.O. bonds the City may issue is determined by the assessed value for property taxes which for 2015 is currently estimated at $7,394,155,022. Following the August 2014 refunding of the 2003 LTGO Bonds and the December 1, 2014 debt service payment the City has $6,675,000 of nonvoted G.O. bonds outstanding which represents 6,02% of our nonvoted bond capacity, and 1.20% of our total debt capacity for all types of bonds. Of this amount: o $5,425,000 remains on bonds issued for the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds are repaid with a portion of the 1/10 of 1% sales tax that is collected by the Spokane Public Facilities District. o $1,250,000 remains on bonds issued for road and street improvements around CenterPlace. The bonds are repaid with a portion of the real estate excise tax collected by the City. Street Fund Revenue Sources (pages 24 and 25) New to the report last month are charts that reflect a history for the two primary sources of revenue in Street Fund #101. These include: • Page 24 provides a 10 -year history of Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax collections with monthly detail beginning January 2005. o Compared with calendar year 2013, 2014 collections have increased by $11,264 or 0.65% o Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at just over $2.0 million, and subsequently decreased to a range of approximately $1,846,000 to $1,868,000 in the years 2011 through 2013. • Page 25 provides a 6 -year history of Telephone Utility Tax collections with monthly detail beginning January 2009 (the month in which the tax was imposed). o Compared with calendar year 2013, 2014 collections have decreased $243,963 or 10.38%. o Tax receipts peaked in 2009 at $3,054,473 and have decreased each year since due to what we suspect is the reduction in land lines by individual households. o The 2015 Budget was adopted with a revenue estimate of $2,565,100. We will watch this closely as we progress through the coming months.

The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane Valley is 8.7%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the vendor to the Washington State Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the total 8.7% tax rate to the agencies is as follows: - State of Washington 6.50% - City of Spokane Valley 0.85% - Spokane County 0.15% - Crminial Justice 0.10% - Spokane Public Facilities District 0.10% * - Public Safety 0.10% * 2.20% local tax - Juvenile Jail 0.10% * - Mental Health 0.10% * - Law Enforcement Communications 0.10% - Spokane Transit Authority 0.60% * 8.70% * Indicates voter approved sales taxes In addition to the .85% reported above that the City receives, we also receive a portion of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales taxes. The distribution of those taxes is computed as follows: Criminal Justice: The tax is assessed county -wide and of the total collected, the State distributes 10% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County and the cities within the County. Public Safety: The tax is assessed county -wide and of the total collected, the State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.

Ozzie Knezovich Sheriff TO: Mike Jackson, City Manager FROM: Rick VanLeuven, Chief of Police DATE: January 19, 2015 RE: Monthly Report December 2014 December 2014: December 2013: CAD incidents: 4,607 CAD incidents: 4,285 Reports taken: 1,863 Reports taken: 1,690 Traffic stops: 1,020 Traffic stops: 848 Traffic reports: 273 Traffic reports: 300 CAD incidents indicate calls for service as well as self -initiated officer contacts. Hot spot maps are attached showing December residential burglaries, traffic collisions, vehicle prowlings, and stolen vehicles. Also attached are trend -line graphs for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014: Citations, Spokane Valley Dispatched Calls, Self -Initiated Calls, Collisions, Persons Crimes, Property Crimes, and Sex Crimes. Also included is the December Crimes by Cities stats report. This report reflects incidents that occurred in a specific city to which a deputy from Spokane County took the courtesy report. For example, an individual may have had his car stolen in Airway Heights, and he waited until he returned home in the Newman Lake area to make a report. In 2011, we switched from UCR to NIBRS classification. As a result, certain crimes were broken down to their violation parts for NIBRS and each part is now counted. Consequently, comparing certain crimes before 2011 to crimes during or after 2011 is not possible using the graphs. he crimes that are impacted by the NIBRS classification changes and should not be compared to prior graphs include: Adult Rape, Assault, Forgery and Theft. ADMINISTRATIVE: The semi-annual Behind the FACE (FireArms Crime Enforcement) Panel was held at Airway Heights in early December. FACE is a program facilitated at Airway Heights as well as other prisons in the State of Washington where a panel comprised of representatives from various agencies to include law enforcement, speaks to inmates, who are scheduled for release. The inmates are identified as Armed Page 1 Career Criminals and are reminded by members of the panel not only that they cannot possess firearms or ammunition after their release, but the ramifications should they not change their former criminal ways and abide with conditions placed on them once they are released from prison. Chief VanLeuven is a member of this panel who meet semi-annually at Airway Heights Prison, and fully supports the foundation of this program. A survey was recently conducted from inmates at nine prisons in the State of Washington who had participated in the Behind the FACE Program. Responses were favorable with most inmates noting an understanding of the impacts of their criminal status on future firearm charges. The survey confirmed the project's worthiness and correlates to reduced recidivism and a safer environment for those in law enforcement. In early December, Chief VanLeuven and Lt. Szoke travelled to Renton to attend the Annual FBINAA Holiday Luncheon and Training, where a presentation was given on an Alabama Hostage Standoff. SCOPE held a number of holiday parties in the month of December, which Chief VanLeuven attended. The quarterly Spokane Regional Drug Task Force meeting was held in mid-December. Chief VanLeuven sits on this board and attended the meeting. The Spokane County Sheriff's Office welcomed new deputies to our agency. Chief VanLeuven had the opportunity in mid-December to sit down with the deputies, welcome them to our agency, and discuss with them the dynamics of working in Spokane Valley and the opportunities that are present within the agency. Drug Court Graduation was held in mid-December and Chief VanLeuven was invited to attend and address those graduates. The flag that flies in front of the Spokane Valley Police Department's facility on Sprague Avenue was appearing to be getting worn by the weather. The Rotary Club of Spokane Valley has graciously provided a new flag to the Valley Precinct and in late December, members of the Rotary Club presented Chief VanLeuven with a new flag. Our most sincere thanks are extended to the Rotary Club of Spokane Valley for the generosity shown to us! We will fly it proudly! SHERIFF'S COMMUNITY ORIENTED POLICING EFFORT (SCOPE): S.C.O.P.E.

The male was booked for four felony and three misdemeanor charges in Spokane County and might have robbed a Salvation Army Bell Ringer prior to stealing the vehicle in Post Falls, Idaho earlier in the evening. At approximately 1:25 a.m., Deputy Thurman observed a possible stolen vehicle parked at the pumps of a gas station in the area of Thor Street and 3rd Avenue in Spokane. Deputy Thurman pulled into the parking lot to confirm the license plate when the driver noticed the Patrol vehicle and quickly jumped into the stolen Jeep. Deputy Thurman activated his emergency lights, but the male suspect drove away, traveling the wrong way on 3rd Avenue. The male turned into the Fred Meyer parking lot and began to drive in circles. He continued to circle the parking lot, which was void of pedestrian and vehicle traffic due to the early hour. Deputy Thurman attempted to position his vehicle to attempt a PIT maneuver to end the pursuit immediately and prevent the suspect from endangering citizens traveling on the roads, but the suspect accelerated rapidly. He turned the wrong way onto Thor and traveled north as he continued to flee. During the pursuit, the male continued to drive recklessly as he reached speeds of 50 mph and failed to stop at the stop sign at Havana and 4thAve. The suspect turned around in a field near Dearborn and 4th when assisting Spokane County Sheriff's K9 Deputy Kullman blocked his path. The male then turned into a dirt lot in the 4600 block of East 4th and stopped the vehicle prior to striking a fence. With K9 Laslo at his side, Deputy Thurman gave commands for the suspect to exit the vehicle, but he refused to do so. Deputy Thurman continued to give commands, told the male he was under arrest, and advised K9 Laslo would be used if the suspect continued to refuse. The male opened the door of the vehicle, but did not follow any of the commands and began reaching into his pockets. With the suspect's continued refusal to follow any commands and not knowing if he was armed, Deputy Thurman deployed Laslo, who made contact with the suspect. The male tried to break free of Laslo's grip and refused to follow continued commands. Deputy Thurman and Deputy Kullman approached the male suspect and pulled him from the vehicle. Once on the ground, Deputy Kullman took the suspect into custody as Deputy Thurman took control of Laslo. A glass pipe containing a burnt, white crystalline substance and a large amount of cash was located in the male suspect's pants pockets during a search. During a Page 5 search of the vehicle, two pill bottles were found on the driver's seat. The substance in the pipe was field tested and showed a presumptive positive result for methamphetamine. Some of the pills inside the bottles were identified as Clonazepam, a Schedule -4 controlled drug. After reviewing reports provided by the Post Falls Police Department (PFPD), it appears the male might have stolen the clothes he was wearing (Goodwill tags still attached) from a Goodwill Store and might also have stolen another vehicle prior to the Jeep. Believing the large amount of cash found on the male suspect might have been taken from a Salvation Army Bell Ringer in Post Falls, the money along with the Goodwill tagged clothes were seized as evidence. The male suspect was booked into the Spokane County Jail for felony charges of Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle, Attempting to Elude Law Enforcement, Possession of a Controlled Substance -Methamphetamine and Possession of a Controlled Substance -Clonazepam, along with misdemeanor charges of Resisting Arrest, Obstructing Law Enforcement and Driving with a Suspended Driver's License 3rd Degree. Up to $2,500 Reward Offered for Information Leading to Arrest of Robbery Suspect(s) - Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest is offering a cash reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest of the suspect(s) believed to be responsible for a robbery that occurred at the ShopKo Pharmacy in Spokane Valley. The cash reward is donated by RxPATROL®, a collaborative effort between industry, pharmacists and law enforcement to collect, collate, analyze and disseminate information on pharmacy theft. Further information is available to authorized personnel at www.RxPATROL.org. "It's important for people to know that they can call in tips or submit tips via the web site and remain completely anonymous. Callers never have to give their names or appear in court. The Crime Stoppers tip line does not use any tape recording or caller ID device," Crime Stoppers Committee Member Eric Green said. Anyone with information on the identity and/or location of the suspect(s) should call Crime Stoppers of the Inland Northwest tip line at (800) 222 -TIPS or (509) 327-5111 or submit via the web site at http://www.crimestoppersinlandnorthwest.org. Robbery Details - • Date/Time: Sunday, 12/07/2014 3:55PM • Location: ShopKo Pharmacy, 13414 E.

Surveillance Video can be viewed on our: YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1Cot4At9TE or Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/SpokaneCountySheriffsOffice Suspect Arrested For Trailer Explosion - Detectives from the Spokane Valley Investigative Unit (SVIU) arrested an adult male in mid-December regarding an explosion that had taken place in mid- November at the Greenacres Mobile Home Park, located at 17500 E. Sprague Ave. Probable cause was established to charge a 34 -year-old male with one -count of Manufacturing of a Controlled Substance (within 1,000 feet of a school) and for Reckless Burning 1st degree. In mid-November, at about 11:30 pm, a call came in from several residents of the trailer park who had heard a loud explosion and saw that Page 6 the walls of unit #7 had been blown out. Valley Fire responded and notified law enforcement that they suspected the residence was the scene of a Butane Honey Oil Extraction Lab (THC Lab). Detectives were eventually called to the scene, and after observing indications of a possible lab, they applied for and were granted a search warrant for the remains of the trailer. Inside the blown -out trailer, they recovered hardware and paraphernalia particular to an extraction lab as well as a quantity of marijuana. While the possession of small amount of marijuana in the State of Washington is legal, the manufacturing of honey oil is still considered manufacturing of a controlled substance, which is a felony. Honey oil is concentrated THC that is extracted from marijuana using a variety of solvents and can be a very hazardous operation. Luckily, the trailer sustained the majority of the damage and none of the occupants or neighbors was seriously injured. Update on a LAP (Lethal Assessment Protocol) Case — Detective Andy Stockman provided an update to a recent domestic violence case, showing the success of the LAP Program: A 42 -year-old male has pled guilty to Assault 3rd DV and was sentenced to 22 months in State prison. There is a five-year no contact order in place, good until 2019. During some of the investigations into a series of crimes involving the victim's wife, she was initially uncooperative. She has since said that the deputies who dealt with her treated her fairly; she knew that she was in danger, but needed someone else to step in and at times, protect her from herself. She has also said that when different deputies asked her the LAP questions, it reminded her of what a dangerous situation under which she was living. She always knew that she could reach out to the YWCA as well through LAP. Through everyone's efforts on the eleven different documented incidents that ranged from 1St Burglary (breaking into her house in violation of an order and assaulting her) to Felony DVNiolation of a Protection Order, to Assault 2nd -DV (trying to slash her with a box cutter), we at the Sheriff's Office were able to hold this individual accountable by providing well-documented cases to the prosecutor's office. In addition, the male pled guilty to three separate order violations throughout the life of these cases. Our partnership with the YWCA is filling in the gaps in this woman's life to the "revolving door" in her relationship with her husband, with resources we don't have at the Sheriff's Office, which is why we partner with them. This woman's kids are currently placed with CPS. She is living in the 1St phase of 90 -day housing in Spokane Valley. She will then be transitioned to the two-year house, where women trying to leave these types of relationships can stay up to two years to get themselves (and possibly their children) back on their feet, with the goal of getting her a job to support herself, with permanent, self - supported housing. Once again, this would not have been possible without deputies on the street responding to this series of crimes in this relationship in a professional and courteous manner, giving the victim positive contacts with the Sheriff's Office, in -spite of her initial attitude. Job Well Done. Thank You Received from a Citizen — "It is with sadness that I write about the loss to our great land that was just experienced in the killing of those two police officers in NYC, men & women who represent our 1st line of defense against evil. As a society those who are wise respect, appreciate and greatly need the protection afforded by you who serve & want you to know we share your, your family and your friends' concerns over this matter and we stand by you with great admiration, great respect and great need. Need to be protected & need to be able to sleep at night and live each day in peace. I cannot imagine living in a world without Love, and I cannot imagine living without our valiant Police officers. You are the heroes of our community and we salute you, we welcome you and we pray to the living "God" for you and your safety daily.
