*JLARC defines the Paid Lodging Night as "One Lodging night=one or more persons
occupying one room for one night"
**Methods in determining actual or estimated number of visitors and/or paid room nights:
Direct Count: Actual count of visitors using methods such as paid admissions or registrations,clicker
counts at entry points,vehicle counts or number of chairs filled.A direct count may also include
information collected directly from businesses, such as hotels,restaurants or tour guides, likely to be
affected by an event.
Indirect Count: Estimate based on information related to the number of visitors such as raffle tickets
sold,redeemed discount certificates,brochures handed out,police requirements for crowd control or
visual estimates.
Representative Survey: Information collected directly from individual visitors/participants. A
representative survey is a highly structured data collection tool,based on a defined random sample of
participants,and the results can be reliably projected to the entire population attending an event and
includes margin of error and confidence level.
Informal Survey: Information collected directly from individual visitors or participants in a non-random
manner that is not representative of all visitors or participants. Informal survey results cannot be projected
to the entire visitor population and provide a limited indicator of attendance because not all participants
had an equal chance of being included in the survey.
Structured Estimate: Estimate produced by computing known information related to the event or
location. For example, one jurisdiction estimated attendance by dividing the square footage of the event
area by the international building code allowance for persons(3 square feet).

Re: Letter of Washington Counties Risk Pool Insurance— Lodging Tax Funds
Dear Ms. Farr:
Spokane County certifies that it is a member of the Washington Counties Risk Pool (the "Pool"),
as provided by RCW 48.62.031, and that it is covered by the Pool's Joint Self-Insurance Liability
Policy. Claims submitted under Chapter 4.96 RCW("Actions against political subdivisions,
municipal and quasi-municipal corporations") against the County, its employees, officers,
volunteers and agents and/or actions in connection with or incidental to the performance of this
agreement which the County and/or its employees, officers, volunteers and agents are found to
be liable for will be paid by the Pool and/or County.
The Pool's liability limits of$10,000,000, per occurrence, exceed limits required by the
agreement and our Excess Liability Reinsurance covers all operations and applies over the Pool
self-insurance primary policy. The WCRP self-insurance policy will respond to the same extent
as if an insurance policy had been purchased naming City of Spokane Valley as named insured.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 509-477-6113.
