PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None thus far in 2015. BACKGROUND: Since its incorporation in 2003, the City has provided partial funding for local economic development and social service agencies, and this is again up for consideration in the 2016 Budget development process. Currently included in the 2016 Budget is $150,000 for this purpose; however, $43,000 of this amount has been committed for a direct contract with Greater Spokane Incorporated for economic development services, which leaves $107,000 for the Council to distribute following tonight's presentations. We have received applications from 18 agencies for a funding request total of $341,610, and this evening each agency has been invited to make a five-minute presentation. This matter is set for a motion consideration at the September 22, 2015, Council meeting.

Agencies interested in receiving City funds for either social service or economic development purposes will submit written application materials and make a verbal presentation to the City Council. 1 C:1UserslsdavenportlAppDatalLocallMicrosoft%WindowslTemporary Internet FileslContent.OutlooklUCAXON5512015 09 01 RCA for Outside Agency Funding.docx 2. Council members will deliver their recommendations to the Finance Director for how much funding each agency should be awarded. The total of the award amounts recommended by each Councilmember should equal the$107,000 included in the budget. 3. The Finance Director will prepare a summary of Councilmember recommendations that includes both the number of Council votes received by each agency and the average of the seven award recommendations. 4. Agencies that receive four or more Council votes will be awarded the average of the Council recommendations. 5. Agencies that receive fewer than four votes will not be considered for funding in that funding cycle because they would not have received at least a majority of Council votes. 6. Any Council awards recommended to agencies that receive three or fewer Council votes will be added together and distributed evenly among those agencies that received seven Council votes. The distribution will be a simple arithmetic average of the total amount remaining to be awarded, divided by the number of agencies receiving seven votes. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: We request that Councilmembers submit their funding recommendations to Interim Finance Director Chelsie Taylor no later than 4pm on Friday, September 11, after which Ms. Taylor will present combined information and allocation averages at the September 22nd Council meeting.

Through advocacy in community initiatives that serve the common good, member programs that deliver topics of relevance, and opportunities to engage businesses, the Chamber remains a resilient, rallying force behind economic vitality for our region. In recent years, the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber has facilitated an entrepreneurial training program to inspire and support new businesses in our community.

The BIG 5 for the Greater Spokane Valley is a collaborative community agenda to spur economic growth and holistically generate community vitality. Nearly 100 years ago, the Chamber was formed by a group of visionaries who saw potential in the fertile soil along the shores of the Spokane River.They worked hard to develop the infrastructure to sustain a dynamic and prosperous future. Still today, businesses--the economic drivers of our community--must be involved to help shape the future of our Great Spokane Valley. The momentum is building for our collaborative, visionary agenda and we have received significant financial investments from Modern Electric Water Co., Avista, Itron, Washington Trust Bank, Providence Health Care, Rockwood Health Systems, the Spokane International Airport, the City of Liberty Lake and the City of Spokane Valley. The increased investments over the past six months has resulted in the ability to hire staff, further the mission and vision of our chamber and kick off the BIG 5. The Chamber has earned the confidence and respect of our existing membership and continues to attract a fast growing number of new members who are drawn by this new vision. We are seeking additional support from the community to continue the momentum of the BIG 5 and build capacity to serve our members and the community through implementation of the BIG 5 initiatives. These partnerships have provided groundbreaking support in ensuring our financial stability, positioning the Chamber with a new vision for relevancy and leadership for the common good of this community. After demonstrating our sustainability over the last year, this new chapter for the chamber dedicated to spur economic growth in all actions is made manifest through our commitment to this new strategic plan driven by the commitment to our vision - as the unifying force dedicated to community vitality and economic prosperity. In partnership with Thought Exchange, the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber is leading the effort to build a collaborative, inclusive community agenda for the future, focused on five measurable goals—the BIG 5 for the Greater Spokane Valley region.

Once the BIG 5 are identified (August 2015), the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber will continue to collaborate with stakeholders--businesses, citizens and civic leaders--to develop and advocate for the five initiatives to help move our community forward.These initiatives will serve as the strategic plan for the Chamber. While the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber is the voice of the business community, we are committed to collaborating to serve the common good, propelling our community forward to create jobs and enhance the quality of life. "The BIG 5 for the Greater Spokane Valley" will elevate our region to the national and global stage through recognition as one of the greatest places to live, work, and play.

Sprague Avenue, Suite 106 Spokane Valley, WA 99206 Dear City Council Members: On behalf of the board of directors of the Spokane Valley Arts Council, I wish to thank the city of Spokane Valley for giving us the opportunity to apply for grant monies for 2016. Since it began in 2004, the Spokane Valley Arts Council has strived to be an active presence in our city. Our purpose is to promote, support and enhance the diversity, quality and accessibility of arts and culture in our area. We are requesting funding to help us support and.continue the following programs: • Completion of the fourth bronze SVAC is undertaking. The third bronze, Dance of the Sun and Moon, was installed at CenterPlace this past March, joining The Berry Picker and Working the Line. This new bronze is titled Great Spirit's Gift by Ace Powell. • Continuing our support of the Inland Northwest Dance Association which puts on a free dance event once a year showcasing the dancing talents of dancers of all ages. We will continue to support Valleyfest and Dancefest. • We maintain on-going art exhibits in CenterPlace and the Spokane Valley Library. These exhibits include local amateur and professional artists,local area high schools, and loaned art work from private collections. • On May 21st, 2016,we will host the 10th.annual Artist Showcase. We provide a forum for art enthusiasts to mingle with over a dozen talented artists demonstrating their proficiency in creating art. Once completed, those pieces and dozens of other exceptional art pieces were sold during our silent and loud auction. New this year, we also displayed and offered for sale pieces created by local high school seniors. Four talented students were each awarded the Spokane Valley Art Council Student Art Scholarship in the amount of$1000. An additional scholarship, voted upon by the attendees, the Lynn Baiter Memorial Art Scholarship, was given to one of the winners. We are planning to expand this scholarship into more schools this coming year. The grant we are requesting will help with the administrative expenses of SVAC, as well as continued improvements in our web site, the cost of printing and postage, and advertising. The following is a summary budget for these requested funds which represent 25% of our annual budget. • Insurance $750 • Artist Showcase $4000 • Web site $500 • Printing and Postage $4500 • Casting monumental bronze $15,000 • Scholarships $8000 • Administrative Support and Advertising $3000 Total: $35,750 Thank you for considering the Spokane Valley Arts Council for a grant.

Mission Statement: "To collect,preserve and exhibit the heritage and culture of the Spokane Valley for the inspiration and education of the community, and to share our heritage with visitors to our area in an engaging and interactive presentation" 2. Organizational Background &Purpose In March of 2004,the City of Spokane Valley transferred ownership of the Opportunity Township Hall to the Spokane Valley Heritage Museum(SVHM)organization for the purpose of establishing a museum for oar community. The Hall was erected in 1912 as the governmental building for the Opportunity Township. The Hall has served as a center of community activity for over 103 years. The Museum's staff succeeded in listing the Opportunity Township Hall on the State and National Historic Registers. The hall is the last remaining township hall in the State of Washington according to the Washington State Dept of Archeology. It is a unique landmark of our community and one of the few remaining historical buildings in the Spokane Valley. It is a fitting purpose for the building to house the heritage of our community. A Board of Directors operates the Museum and a Director oversees daily operations. Currently there are 26 volunteers. The Spokane Valley Heritage Museum does not receive direct, state or local government funding and is supported by admissions,contributions, memberships, fundraising activities and grants. The Board of Directors,volunteers and citizens have achieved many goals and milestones in the 10 years the Museum has served the community. They renovated,restored and preserved a historical building. An extraordinary cultural asset now exists in our community as a repository for the heritage of our community. Spokane Valley City government, citizens and businesses access the archives for information,maps and photos. The museum also serves as a welcome center for visitors to our area, a resource for students and citizens,and a center of community pride. Fraternal organizations,Boy Scout troops, local businesses,the Valley Fire Dept, Schools,Public and Private have all assisted with the creation of the Museum and benefit by its existence. Every sector of the community has visited and embraced the SVHM. Tourists from all over the USA and outside our borders have visited the museum. 3.Project Description: Digital Archives Collection The Digital Archives Project is an on-going endeavor to preserve the heritage of the Spokane Valley. The Spokane Valley Heritage Museum (SVHM) serves as a repository for the community,researchers,travelers and authors who are searching for ancestors, answers,the history of a house, stories of pioneers and much more. The SVHM also provides public access to our heritage through our in-house searchable database,which contains 4,380 records. The photo archives consist of over 1100 photos. The SVHM also maintains an Historic&Cultural Sites database which contains 133 records. Additional archives we are preserving through the Digital Archives project include the Spokane Valley Herald, oral histories,annuals,maps, business directories,incorporation records and other historically significant records. Original archives will be stored in acid free containers. Preserving the archive collections digitally will ensure they are available to future generations. This project is essential to preserve our story and creates opportunity to broaden our capacity of service as the guardians of the history of Spokane Valley. 4.Project Goals The goal of the project is to continue to : • Archive Spokane Valley History through acquiring the necessary equipment and tools that will assist museum volunteers and staff in preserving our heritage according to museum best practices. • Provide cultural enrichment to museum patrons through digitally available archives. • Preserve the legacy of Spokane Valley. 5.Funding Request The SVHM is requesting funds for: 1. The purchase of equipment to continue the preservation, digitization and reproduction of the Museum's extensive archives collection; specifically a new computer system with the hard drive capacity to manage the expanding collection. The Spokane Valley Heritage Museum volunteers will do the work of cataloguing and digitizing the archives collection. 2. The purchase of archival storage containers for the proper preservation of the SVHM's extensive archives collection according to museum best practices standards. Summary Budget: (1)Dell 2tb Computer,monitor,keyboard&external backup $1089.99 for digital archiving&database management. (2)Archival storage containers for the museum's collection of photos, documents, maps, etc. $2,000.00 Total Request $3,089.99 Percentage of Annual Budget: 5% 6. Direct Benefits A. Community Benefit The SVHM is open year round for citizens and provides direct contact for accessing knowledge about our community. The Museum provides a way to connect with the heritage of our area and creates a sense of belonging and pride in our community. The Museum houses a place to meet, learn and discuss. This Museum serves as a way to bridge generations,discover our common identity and learn information needed to value,understand and invest in our community. Investing in the Museum gives the community a better quality of life. Just as we invest in roads of our community to help us conduct business,visit friends and build families, we should invest in the roads that connect us to our history and heritage and our place in the present. The City of Spokane Valley Departments of Engineering,Planning,Traffic and Community Development have all accessed the museum records and photos for research related to projects they are coordinating. Schools,businesses, civic organizations and other community clubs have searched the Museum's collection for a greater understanding of our community. The SVHM contributes to the prosperity of the community and enhances the character of our citizens and our community. B. Economic Development: Cultural Asset The SVHM enhances the economy of our community by providing a better quality environment for work and the worker. The SVHM is a vital part of the economic development of our community. Businesses looking to relocate will find an historic and cultural asset in the city's profile of amenities. Cities that value their heritage have a better sense of foundation and the direction they wish to grow. The museum has succeeded in establishing a sense of place and a sense of belonging with the thousands of local school, church, clubs, organizations and businesses in our community! More and more all over the country museums are recognized as vital to economic development of a community. C. Economic Development: Tourism The Spokane Valley Heritage Museum is an established tourist attraction. Tourists have come to the Spokane Valley from 48 states and 10 other countries because the Museum promotes events, exhibits and programs on Tourism websites,AAA publications,Museum organizations and numerous other marketing methods. These visitors spend money in our community. They want to discover the cultural content and amenities our city has to offer. Tourists want to know our story. The Randall Marketing Study(2012)placed significant value on the role the Spokane Valley Museum has achieved as a Heritage and Cultural window into our community. The museum has demonstrated measurable impact on tourism,a necessary part of economic development strategies. The museum draws tourists off I-90 into our city. According to the The Historic/Cultural Traveler study by the Travel Industry Association and Smithsonian Magazine, 81%(118 million)U.S. adults who traveled in 2012 were considered cultural heritage travelers. These travelers included historical or cultural activities on almost 217 million person-trips last year,up 13 percent from 192 million in 2006. Visitors to historic sites and cultural attractions stay longer and spend more money than other kinds of tourists. Cultural and heritage visitors spend,on average,$623 per trip compared to$457 for all U.S.travelers excluding the cost of transportation. Perhaps the biggest benefits of cultural heritage tourism,though,are diversification of local economies and preservation of a community's unique character. Ifa community has a museum,then its citizens can share their history with pride! Thank you for the opportunity to request funding! a * BES . 9 KANE VALLEY!

The 2016 Valleyfest goals are to: • Provide free, enriching experiences for the region's families. • Connect people to CenterPlace Regional Event Center,and the: o The beauty of Mirabeau Point Park; o The City of Spokane Valley; o The Spokane River. • Spur economic revitalization and development by: o Hosting businesses, allowing them to market their products/services to tens of thousands of consumers. • Engage and build the community by: o Showcasing the talent that enriches the Spokane Valley region; o Providing access to community nonprofit services; o Giving exposure to the cultural arts and provoking the mind; o Providing a wide range of artistic and multi-cultural experiences. • Attract a diverse audience in culture,geography,and generations. • Create an annual community driven,safe, celebratory event with lasting memories. Funding Rational: Our objective is the continued growth of Valleyfest as a premier regional event which economically benefits the City of Spokane Valley.Valleyfest is part of the cultural identity of the City of Spokane Valley bringing over 15,000 attendees to the Sprague Ave parade and over 35,000 to Mirabeau Point Park and Centennial Trail. The specific element for which we request funding is the marketing and advertising of Valleyfest to the Inland Northwest Region. In order to accomplish this objective,our marketing message must be carried to a regional audience within the Inland Northwest,which includes North Idaho,Western Montana, Canada and the Tri-Cities. Regional marketing will develop Spokane Valley's tourism objectives.Through effective marketing and promotion Valleyfest will invite both event visitors and vendors to shop and stay in Spokane Valley, with Valleyfest as the primary incentive for conducting commerce. Expected visitors and participants in Valleyfest can be categorized into several groups—each with unique economic impacts on Spokane Valley. 1. Hotel/Motel Room Nights 2. New sales revenue to businesses in immediate and regional event vicinity 3. Exposure of valley-based businesses to residents living outside Spokane Valley 4. Future valley-based business opportunity 5. Branding/community advantages for valley-based business. * Research supports the fact that consumers may switch purchasing preferences to businesses that support favorable community causes/events, i.e. Valleyfest 6. Impact on restaurants, local vendors and merchants, and gas stations. In the 2015 grant cycle,Valleyfest consulted with Dr. Beth Tipton and Prof. Larry Davis of the Business School at Eastern Washington University for measurement and evaluation tools for the economic impact of Valleyfest. In 2014,the economic impact of Valleyfest was estimated at 1.7 million dollars for the three day festival. The Valleyfest volunteers have been working in collaboration with two Spokane Valley business associations,the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Spokane Valley Business Association to reach more of the Spokane Valley business community. In all of our marketing materials,the City of Spokane Valley, Mirabeau Point Park and CenterPlace are mentioned as part of the media campaign. Citizens of the Spokane Valley and surrounding region are invited to attend the three-day festival to watch the Hearts of Gold Parade on Friday evening, register for recreational activities, enjoy free entertainment at the three festival stages,or to engage with over 200 vendors at the event. Financial Information: Valleyfest is requesting an investment of$50,000 from the City of Spokane Valley in support of our efforts to market a quality event that invites visitors to our Spokane Valley businesses and services. Valleyfest is funded through grants,sponsorships, and booth fees.A part-time staff of three and community volunteers works throughout the year securing the funding necessary to provide a safe, quality event,which showcases the region. Donated volunteer hours,which involves the business community, nonprofit sector,schools,and community outreach is over 5000 hours of citizen support each year. Our current operational budget of$206,414 reflects the assistance from the City of Spokane Valley for funding of the 2015 festival.This budget is made possible through the generous support of agencies and businesses that Valleyfest is able to work cooperatively with for office space, business development assistance, and through the help of our City of Spokane Valley. This grant would represent approximately 22%our annual budget.These funds will help finance webpage development and maintenance,social media,TV, radio, billboards and print advertisements in targeted areas. Mobile web site and other technical apps will also be added to our communication platform to bring new customers to the City of Spokane Valley. In these economic times,the operational budget is adjusted to reflect the changes that occur with grants, sponsorships and donations.Valleyfest is appreciated and well received by the community sponsors, businesses located in our region and our citizens. The below 2015 operational budget is based on contributions,sponsorships and in kind donations from the following sources (see next page): Income Auction $ 27,000 Cycle Celebration 10,000 Booth 34,000 Grant 54,314 Publication 10,000 Sponsorship 60,500 Other 10,600 Total Income $ 206,414 Expenses Auction $ 12,000 Spokane Valley Foundation 2,000 Cycle Celebration 8,000 Bloomfest 5,000 Booth 1,500 Car Show 500 Contract Services 1,200 Entertainment 27,000 Equipment 13,000 Fitness 2,500 Hot Air Balloon 5,000 Marketing/Printing 47,500 Misc 600 Parade 1,500 Publication 10,000 Security 3,000 Triathlon 6,500 Valleyfest Misc 6,200 Volunteer Misc 2,500 Office 14,000 Wages 36,914 Total Expenses $ 206,414 iso 111111 1111 The Arc Valley -'4_r .g X34==� Community jiam --lllr�l_.. i All IV,�'a� i�lFs�ar - Center 11r ,-, - .F _1717 _ , -. _.. • CerarniL. a 4 • { i 47 ` -s 0 istr - __ ,- A i ■ 1 ----_,,, ,p1-1 wood Shop [ __ k „,,.,- totiv,air _ ,2,_ .i.--..A. , Irv-'`..--,.. :Gi -_ -_ .../... ,. _ 1 •'' f.{ Ake-. it ti . s� . {�"".

We are an affiliate of the Arc of the United States, a national organization with about 700 independently-governed chapters nationwide. With 250 members,a $5 million annual operating budget and 240 employees, The Arc of Spokane is the largest Arc chapter in the state of Washington and among the largest in the United States. Founded in 1950 by parents of children with developmental disabilities,The Arc of Spokane's mission is to "promote independence and choice and to enhance the quality of life for people with developmental disabilities and their families." We accomplish our mission through a variety of advocacy and direct support programs. Our advocacy programs help people with developmental disabilities and their families overcome the challenges they face by encouraging productive dialogue at the systems level, empowering them with the capacity to create meaningful change for their own benefit. Our direct support programs help adults with developmental disabilities grow socially, find meaningful employment, manage their income and live with dignity as contributing members of the communities in which they live. Until a few decades ago people with developmental disabilities were commonly believed incapable of living a meaningful life. Children with developmental disabilities were frequently sent to institutions where they had few opportunities for social and intellectual growth. Socially ostracized, many endured terrible abuse. But as more parents began raising their son or daughter with a developmental disability at home,their enormous, untapped potential became readily apparent. Banding together,these parents worked to reverse negative stereotypes about their children and to create opportunities for meaningful growth. In Spokane that group became The Arc of Spokane. Our work helped make public education available to children with developmental disabilities, creates employment opportunities for hundreds of adults in Spokane, and helped establish community living as a superior alternative to life-long institutionalization. Although many organizations in Spokane support people with developmental disabilities, only The Arc has the mission of improving the quality of life for our constituents by changing the social structures and attitudes that have traditionally marginalized them. Last year, The Arc of Spokane and Center Pointe day program merged to create The Valley Community Center with funds that were generated from the sale of the Center Pointe building located at 1408 S. Washington Street. Center Pointe had encountered financial difficulty that has forced it to cease operations. In an effort to preserve the service it provides to families, Center Pointe board approached The Arc of Spokane with an offer to merge,with the provision that Center Pointe's program continue. We currently are renting space in the lower part of the Spokane Valley Partner's(SVP)building, where both, us and SVP had to put forth a significant amount of money to get the building up and running. We've spent nearly $125,000 in remodeling the building to hold all the programs we offer and the participants. Our long term goal would be to have the resources and funding to meet the needs of about 125 adults with Intellectual development disabilities daily Monday thru Friday by providing activities during the day;this will also provide respite for family members caring for their adult child. Although the program will eventually sustain itself, until enough people are enrolled, it will operate at a deficit. This year's deficit is expected to be about$155,425. Program description and the Benefits to the Spokane Valley Community: There are nearly 7000 people in the Spokane County who have an intellectual developmental disability (I/DD)and of those 7000, nearly 2000 live in the Spokane Valley. Since statistically, seventy percent of adults with I/DD live at home, we estimate that about 1500 families in Spokane Valley provide primary care for their son or daughter with a developmental disability. Such care may include everything from helping a person eat, dress, and toilet to driving them to doctor's appointment, work,the store, etc. Most adults with I/DD find it hard to get connected within their community due to a chronic lack of opportunity for social and recreational growth. Without such opportunities, many stay at home and become increasingly isolated. Depression and frustration are common and often degenerate into aggressive behavior. The challenge for families supporting a child with I/DD is the care giving duties frequently leave them exhausted and with little time to spend with other children (if they have them), a spouse, or tend to household chores. The Arc of Spokane's Community Center is dedicated to provide activities and events that are of the highest quality to enhance the lives of our members and their families, which we serve. Our activities that we offer at The Valley Community Center are as followed: • Fully functional woodshop • Fully loaded Ceramic Studio with Pouring Room • Acrylic Painting Studio • General Studies Classroom (Math, Reading, Penmanship) • Computer Room • Arts & Craft • Fitness • Drama Our goal at The Valley Community Centers is to help our members and their families to become better advocates for themselves.We help the members become more independent, while giving family members the respite they need to oversee other matters in their lives.A lot of families and home providers don't have any opportunity to do errands,shopping,and/or other personal errands without the difficulty of finding help to care for their participant.With our program being open, Monday through Friday during normal business hours, we are giving families the opportunity to seek employment,take that break, go to doctor appointment and/or do personal errands while we provide care for their adult with I/DD. The Amount Requested: Our program is a costly enterprise that The Arc of Spokane is dedicated to continue supporting with funds from other programs, such as The Arc Thrift Store.The Thrift Store is still in the starting up phase and incurring startup costs, so we've yet seen any revenue come from this new venture but with a partnership with The Arc of Colorado,we are hoping our Thrift Store will start to generate a profit to help out with other Arc programs like The Valley Community Center in the coming years. Until The Thrift Store is able to help with fund programs like The Valley Community Center;this program is dependent on the donations,grant requests and member fees to help offset some of the burden but not all of it. Our program receives no help from any government entities. Our program expenses significantly exceed the program revenues that we generate from member fees. We have set our fees at a lower level because most of our members have extremely limited personal income due to many factors including disproportionally higher rates of unemployment and medical expenses.A grant for$9,000 to help with our rent at Spokane Valley Partners would help offset some of the financial burden. We do have a sustainability plan being drawn up to help make this program self-staining, but that requires higher membership. The$9,000 would make up roughly 5%of the $156,000 deficit the Valley Community Center will acquire in this coming fascial year. Budget: Please See attached document. Direct Impact the Valley Community Center will have on the Spokane Valley citizens. In a 2015 survey,Valley Community Center participants rated our program at 3.93 out of 4 for program quality. Families and participants reported that their quality of life was significantly improved because of participating in the Community Center events.This high score gives testimony to our dedication to always deliver a high quality program to our members and their families. Our greatest goal is to become that strong partner with families or home sites caring for an adult with I/DD to help with personal goals set by the members and goals set by providers/families. Ours is the first day program for adults with developmental disabilities in Spokane Valley. Before our program opened, most families had to travel the 30 miles or more into downtown Spokane to access a program.This is a substantial barrier in time and expense for a lot of families who are living off one income. A local program in The Spokane Valley gives families and home providers more opportunities for their participant, which in turn will help families and home providers get those needed hours to regroup or find employment.We are currently serving nearly 78 members at our Valley Community Center and from those 78,we have three new families that have been able to find work during the hours we are providing services to their adult with I/DD.This significantly helps families become healthy, more finically stable and creates stronger connections for their member to become social integrated the community. Along with providing relief for families to use our facility for respite,we also help our members become more socially independent and get them connected with community partners to help volunteer or become employable.This gives The Spokane Valley a more diverse work force. We also work with hundreds of volunteers throughout the year,from area colleges and businesses. We use our facility as a 360 degree learning environment,where our members educate community volunteers about how they would like volunteers to advocate for them and our community volunteers help our members become safer and more socially independent.

Our vision is for all children to achieve success in life. By partnering with parents/guardians, volunteers and others in the community, we are accountable for each child in our program: • achieving higher aspirations, greater confidence, and better relationships • avoiding risky behaviors • attaining educational success ' Our mission is accomplished by carefully matching school-aged children, our Little Brothers and Little Sisters, with quality adult volunteers, our Big Brothers and Big Sisters, who become positive role models and offer hope for a brighter future. Once matched, our organization provides professional match support, or case management, for all participants including the mentor, the child, and the child's parents. It is this professional and ongoing match support that sets BBBS programs apart from other mentoring programs. BBBS is a local affiliate of Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, our nation's premiere one-on- one mentoring organization. Among other activities, Big Brothers Big Sisters of America researches and reports on best practices for effective mentoring and develops national standards and program enhancements for it's affiliates. Our agency is proud to report that we follow all of these best practices, national standards, and program enhancements in order to best serve local at-risk youth. The Big Brothers Big Sisters program reached the Inland Northwest in 1965. Following the tragic murder of his son by a group of young boys, Bill Matthews founded our local agency with the hope of preventing negative outcomes in other children. Since 1965, Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Inland Northwest has served over 11,500 children and currently serves approximately 700 children and volunteers per year. This makes BBBS the largest and most effective one-to-one youth mentoring program in the Inland Northwest. Project Funding Request: BBBS seeks funding so that we may expand our on-site mentoring efforts, specifically in the Spokane Valley area. Whereas standard mentoring sessions can take place in many different venues often chosen by the Big Brother or Big Sister, on-site mentoring consists of meetings \ between children and their mentors at public places, usually a school. These settings help to ensure a safe meeting place. An additional benefit to a public meeting location is that both the child and the adult are more comfortable as the location is familiar and there is less pressure in selecting a location that would be enjoyable for both parties. Removing that discomfort is very valuable when first beginning to meet with a child as it builds the relationship that much faster. The quicker you can turn a mentor into a role model, the sooner you will see all the associated benefits in the life and behavior of the child. To accomplish this goal our organization will work with East Valley High School, Central Valley High School, and Millwood Community Center in conjunction with their mentoring programs. They will provide their facilities and we will work closely with them throughout making sure their needs and the needs of our local children are being met by this partnership. For the on-site program we will continue to utilize all of our specialized resources and processes such as mentor screening and background checks, youth enrollment and matching, and ongoing match support (or case management)involving the mentor, child, and child's parent(s). Funds received would be used to support these efforts, we have a specific target of matching 15 Spokane Valley children and utilizing the on-site mentor program with them. Benefits to the Citizens of Spokane Valley: Our mentoring program benefits the families and community of Spokane Valley by fundamentally changing the lives of individual citizens within the city limits. Our program is a prevention program, preventing kids from going down the wrong path, committing crimes, and using alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. By preventing these negative behaviors, our programs help reduce crime in Spokane Valley and reduce the need for crisis management and law enforcement intervention. Furthermore, children who have hope and grow up with confidence are more likely to finish school and lead productive, substance free lives. They also grow up prepared to give back to his/her community and wanting make a positive difference, thus creating a positive life cycle. This past year, from July 2014 to June 2015, BBBS was able to serve 48 Spokane Valley children. Financially, BBBS benefits the citizens of Spokane Valley by providing high quality mentoring services to Spokane Valley children while charging no fee for service.

The agency vision is—"A world where all children thrive". CHSW works in partnership with families and communities to accomplish its mission to"Develop healthy children,create strong families,build engaged communities, and speak and advocate for children."This mission reflects the agency's deep commitment to supporting local communities by creating healthy families. The CHSW Galland-Ashlock Family Resource Center is located in the City of Spokane Valley and partners with families through counseling, classes, groups and home visiting. All of CHSW's programs are developed to create strong,healthy families leading to a healthier Spokane Valley community. Children's Home Society of Washington is asking to partner with the City of Spokane Valley through a social service grant to support low-income families through our Parents as Teachers (PAT)home visiting program. PAT is an evidence-based home visiting program that provides twice-monthly home visits to parents of children from prenatal up to age 3. Currently, 25% of families served through our PAT program reside in the City of Spokane Valley. Research has shown that the PAT program is effective in closing achievement gaps for children living in poverty, especially in terms of kindergarten readiness. One study showed that 82 percent of children living in poverty who participate in PAT and had one year of preschool tested as Children's Home Society of Washington—Social Services Grant Proposal 2015 Page 1 of 2 �ry "ready"for Kindergarten. PAT has also been shown to prevent child abuse,increase parental involvement in the lives of their children and improve early identification of health and developmental issues in young children.' According to the US Census Bureau 19.8%of children under the age of 5 in the City of Spokane Valley live below the poverty level. Many of these children's families struggle with acquiring things such as books and simple toys that can help them to support their child's development and prepare them for school. Additionally,these families often experience isolation and lack social supports and connections to available community resources. CHSW would like to address these issues through our PAT program,by purchasing much needed supplies to provide this important educational program which helps prepare children for success in school. These items will support the development of these children,reinforce the parent as being the most important teacher in a child's life, and help the child begin school with success. Families learn healthy parenting from being with and learning from other parents. CHSW would like to hold a series of PAT Group Connections for these families at locations in Spokane Valley to help them get connected with each other providing much needed healthy support systems.These educational gatherings will also provide resources from the community assisting them in overcoming other barriers to have success. At each gathering,we would provide food, education, toys designed to enhance the parent-child relationship and assistance with public transportation. By creating an opportunity for families to connect with local Spokane Valley resources,everyone in the City of Spokane Valley will benefit. Families with young children will learn ways in which they can access local community resources,and Spokane Valley businesses will benefit financially from items and food purchased for this project. Through a partnership with Children's Home Society of Washington,this grant will bring the Spokane Valley community together,businesses and families,to encourage collaboration,healthy families, and a healthier Spokane Valley community.

For over 30 years the East Central Community Center has been dedicated to strengthening the community, as well as being a gathering place for persons of all ages,ethnicities, and social classes. The center provides organized recreational,social,educational,cultural,community service, civic,and governmental activities. These programs contribute to the health and well-being of all of Spokane's residents,as well as Spokane Valley's, as commonly its residents also participate in our programs. The East Central Neighborhood is one of most disadvantaged in Spokane. Therefore,the center prides itself on providing opportunities to our underserved clients. We believe the strength of the community center can impact the community through quality and accessible programming. We have begun to establish a track record of such programming. The Youth Development Program staff at East Central Community Center has come up with the perfect opportunity for all. The concept is Youth Entrepreneurship Program(YEP). YEP provides a unique combination of training and seminars aimed at young people between the ages of 14 to 18. YEP is diverse in its outreach and delivery methods,with websites, blogging,social networking,youth—oriented trainers and business simulation products all designed to teach business management,finance,marketing,sales and e-commerce skills. The ultimate desired outcome for YEP is to have young people more interested in self-employment as a career option. Through YEP projects,students will also garner transferable business skills for both self-employment and the job market, understand the relevance of education and the choice to stay in school or pursue higher education,and develop life management and problem-solving skills. Our plans for YEP,and the benefit for the local community,are even stronger as we are partnering with Junior Achievement,which will be providing the leadership and manpower to operate the program. Junior Achievement(JA)is the world's largest organization dedicated to giving young people the knowledge and skills they need to own their economic success, plan for their future,and make smart academic and economic choices. JA programs are delivered by corporate and community volunteers,and provide relevant,hands-on experiences that give students from kindergarten through high school knowledge and skills in financial literacy, work readiness and entrepreneurship. Today,JA reaches four million students per year in more than 120 500 S STONE ST SPOKANE WA 99202 509-868-0856 ecspokane.org 00,L,d East Central CommunityCenter Markets across the United States,with an additional 6.5 million students served by operations in 117 other countries worldwide. This summer over 30 students are already receiving the Junior Achievement economic education at East Central Community Center in Spokane,WA. This JA program and curriculum will continue into the fall of the 2015-2016 school year serving more students from the East Central Community Center. Having Junior Achievement expand its services to the YEP is a further example of how the East Central Community Center is taking a leadership role in coordinating community development efforts to benefit the East Central Neighborhood,which will have spill- over benefits for the entire area, including Spokane Valley. To further strengthen the entrepreneur program we plan to utilize the East Sprague Business Association and the Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce,specifically focusing on the East Sprague corridor businesses to take advantage of their hands-on experience. Interactive experiences with businesses will lead to greater graduation rates for students in the area. Unemployment is a concern in the East Central Neighborhood, as it is in Sprague Business Corridor and the west side of the Spokane Valley,which attaches to the East Central Neighborhood. The unemployment rate in the neighborhood is over 19.6%. As this is a major issue for the entire area,we are trying to address it by laying the groundwork at an early age for the students in our programs(which includes about 15%Spokane Valley Youth). The participants are otherwise not being provided the support and encouragement necessary to be successful in their academic endeavors and to develop into valued and productive members of the labor force. Our YEP program addresses this issue with business skills and career path development that will lead to academic achievement and a better work force skillset. Once the participants complete the JA model,the East Central Community Center's Youth Development Staff will continue the entrepreneur program by providing students with mentors at local businesses. The ultimate goal is to provide the youth with the tools to successfully enter the business world or to continue their education. QskiRS/ Q.11\ik.

Our mission is to fight hunger and isolation among vulnerable seniors and disable persons. Our goal is for no senior in our community to go hungry. GSC Meals on Wheels delivers home delivered meals to frail elderly persons throughout the City of Spokane Valley. We also operate 3 Senior Meal Sites, or Silver Cafes, for those seniors who are not homebound within Spokane Valley city limits. We will serve 230,000 meals to over 4648 seniors throughout Spokane County this year.. GSC Meals on Wheels could not do this without the support of the community. We have 350 volunteers who not only donate their time,but also their vehicle, gasoline,and insurance. They give over 11,900 hours and drive 80,600 miles per year. That translates to $163330 each year donated by volunteers. Project Statement GSC Meals on Wheels requests$32,000 for our Senior Meal Programs to provide 103,000 meals 700 seniors in Spokane Valley. This Program provides hot nutritious meals for homebound elderly and disabled persons in our home-delivered meal program and seniors who attend our Silver Cafes at Spokane Valley Senior Center, Opportunity Senior Lunch Program,Appleway Court. Caring for our elders is essential to their dignity and quality of life. Most of the aged would prefer to live the remainder of their lives in their own homes. The impact of nutrition on successful aging cannot be overstated. It is central to health promotion, disease prevention, and disease management. Without adequate healthy safe food and nutrition services, older adults experience diminished independence,increased disabilities and reduced quality of life. Hunger is a serious threat to seniors nationally, across Washington State,within Spokane County, and in Spokane Valley. According to Meals on Wheels America, 13.5%of seniors in Washington State experienced some form of food insecurity within the past year. There is no reason to believe that Spokane County has escaped the problem of hunger. Actually,the converse is true. Almost 10%of senior households in Spokane County live in poverty. That's almost 2%above the state average. According to Spokane County's Consolidated Plan: 17.6% of all households had 1 or more occupants with mobility or self-care limitation. Of these,48%or 6800 households were low to extremely low income,21%of households have at least one member who is over 62, 52% are low to extremely low income. While poverty is not the only cause of senior hunger,for many it plays a significant role. But senior hunger is not just about poverty. Cognitive and physical impairments can also make it difficult or impossible for seniors to access more traditional food sources such as grocery stores or food banks or to prepare the food. In Spokane County, in 17.6%of all households at least one occupant has mobility or self-care limitations that could inhibit their ability to access nutritious food. When you pair these limitations with poverty,the issue is compounded. Of the households with persons with limiting cognitive or physical impairments,48% were low to extremely low income and 21%have at least one member who is over 62. GSC Meals on Wheels fights senior hunger throughout Spokane County by providing 21,000 meals each month in our home delivered meal program and through our 13 senior dining sites, called Silver Cafes. Proper nutrition is essential to the prevention or delay of chronic, disease-related disabilities among seniors.Food insecurity and hunger among the elderly can exacerbate disease,increase disability,and decrease resistance to infection. Malnutrition increases care-giving demands and increases national health care costs associated with premature hospital or nursing home stays.People who are malnourished take 40% longer to recover from illness and surgery with 2-3 times more complications. Persons that suffer from malnutrition experience a decrease in energy and endurance and suffer from increased confusion and memory loss--all of which decrease a person's ability to remain living independently and their quality of life. One third to 1/2 of all health conditions in the elderly may be related to low nutrient intakes. Providing nutritious meals works to alleviate these health effects, improving quality of life and decreasing health care costs. In our home delivered meal program,we serve people with a variety of needs; some cannot afford to purchase nutritious food on their limited income; others cannot leave the home to access food by more traditional methods such as grocery shopping or food banks; others are recovering from an injury or illness; and still others cannot cook due to physical problems or difficulties with memory, in fact some will even forget to eat without the home delivered meal. To receive home delivered meals,a senior must be 60 years of age or older, essentially homebound and having difficulty preparing meals for themselves. We receive client referrals from a variety of sources such as physicians' offices,home health agencies,Elder Services, Adult Protective Services, friends,family members, or the clients themselves. We directly impact the lives of Senior Citizens in the City of Spokane Valley. In our Home Delivered Meal Program,we are truly a lifeline to our most vulnerable neighbors. Not only do we provide a nutritious meal, but our volunteers check in on the wellbeing of each of the people that we serve. Often our volunteer is the only human contact that our seniors have on a given day. We are so much more than"just a meal." There have been many times that our volunteers have found someone who needed medical attention and summoned help for that person. In our Silver Cafes,we not only provide the nutritious meal, but we also help the senior remain engaged with the community through socializing with their peers. Studies have shown that those seniors who are engaged with their community remain healthier longer. � r Budget Income 4601•NSIP Revenue $90,225 4600•ALTCEW Revenue $293,400 4000•CDBG $20,250 4001•Churches and Civic $5,850 4004•AARP Employment $5,400 4005•Fresh Produce Program $1,800 4102•Fund Raising Income $22,500 4107•Participant Donations $72,400 4200•Interest Income $135 4300•Foundations,Corps and Grants $70,250 Including City of Spokane Valley Grant Total Income $732,960 Expense 5705•Interest Expense $1,350 5900•Depreciation Expense $495 5010•Salaries $286,650 5100•Food&Supplies Cost $281,250 5150•Produce Program $1,800 5200•Security $225 5203•Utilities $10,125 5307•Travel/Meal Transportation $19,350 5400•Jan/Main/Repair $2,250 5407.Office Supplies/Copy Machine $4,950 5409•Program Equipment $900 5411 Communication&Technology $3,825 5413•Professional Services $20,250 5414•Trng,Dues,Fees,Subscriptions $1,800 5500•Rentals/Leases $13,050 5600•Insurance $5,580 5702•Advertising $1,800 5704•Bank Fee $675 5711•Postage $1,575 5712•Printing $225 5714•Volunteer Services $675 In Kind Goods/Services $69,300 5800•Fund Raising $3,600 Total Expense $731,700 Results of 2015 GSC Meals on Wheels Client Survey Home Delivered Silver Café GSC Meals on Wheels' clients for whom our meal is their only meal of the day 29% 27% Worry about having enough food to eat 50% 21% Feels that receiving home delivered meals allows them to have enough food in their homes and have enough to eat 95% Feels that receiving meals from GSC Meals on Wheels has improved their nutrition 74% 65% Feels that receiving meals from GSC Meals on Wheels has improved their general health 72% 56% Feels that receiving home delivered meals has helped them to remain living in their own home 95% Feels less lonely by participating at Silver Café 91% I i r -,� Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council's(GSSAC) Prevention Center YIPAU 8104 East Sprague Avenue Spokane Valley, Washington 99212-2900 Working Together Phone 509-922-8383 Fax 509-922-7716 Toward Safe Communities www.gssac.org Free From Substance Abuse Grant Request to: City of Spokane Valley for Fiscal Year 2016 Social Services Funding Attn: Finance Department Submitting Organization: Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council(GSSAC) 8104 E.

Type of Grant Application: Social Services GSSAC's Background: Established in the fall of 1982 by a grassroots effort through community business and faith based organizational leadership, the Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council(GSSAC) is a 501©3 recognized non profit organization located in Spokane Valley. Led by a 10 member volunteer Board of Directors with a staff of three(3) employees, GSSAC continues to be a state wide advocate/leader in substance abuse and violence prevention efforts. Our POWER(Prevention Outreach Wellness Education Resources) Coalition, with a focus area in Spokane Valley, works with a wide variety of citizens and partners to provide opportunities for community awareness, volunteer engagement, and organizational/agency collaboration to reduce the impact of substance abuse and violence on our community. Our focus area of Spokane Valley was chosen for the Coalition work because of the willingness of the City to develop public policy dealing with I 502 Legalization of Recreational Marijuana for those 21 and over that controlled the impact of marijuana business through careful consideration in our community. GSSAC's Mission/Purpose: In December 2014 the GSSAC Board of Directors(Board) adapted the mission of the Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council to promote the health, safety and well-being of our community with a focus on youth. Since the privatization of liquor sales and the legalization of recreational marijuana for those 21 and over in Washington State through the initiative process,there has been a reduction in the perception of harm from alcohol and marijuana among our youth resulting in increased use and risky behavior such as impaired driving and riding with a driver who has used alcohol or marijuana(Washington State Healthy Youth Survey 2014). The Board felt that expanding our reach with prevention messages, educating the community about the implementation of the initiatives(which continues to take place) and raising awareness of the impact of these public policy changes will support our mission for a healthier, safe community.

Washington 99212-2900 Working Together Phone 509-922-8383 Fax 509-922-7716 Toward Safe Communities www.gssac.org Free From Substance Abuse The goals of GSSAC's overall strategic plan are: 1) Reduce substance abuse among youth and, over time, among adults by addressing the factors in a community that increase the risk of substance abuse/violence and promoting the factors that minimize the risk of substance abuse/violence. 2) Establish and strengthen collaboration among communities, private nonprofit agencies, and Federal, State, local and tribal governments to support the efforts of community coalitions to prevent and reduce substance abuse among youth. GSSAC's project plan is community focused utilizing strategies that will affect attitudes, perceptions, norms and beliefs around alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs. The prioritized strategies of the plan for 2015—2016 are: • Expanding educational outreach and education awareness to parents,businesses, community leaders and organizations,policy makers, schools, and community on the risks and consequences of use of marijuana, alcohol, and tobacco, misuse of prescription drugs and the importance of community norms as they influence our children and youth • Strengthening the POWER Coalition to bring stakeholders together to work on a comprehensive plan in support of healthy youth, and in turn, a safe community. • Enhancing opportunities for youth to make the positive choice to be drug and violence free through leadership opportunities, community service projects and having their voices heard through the `I Choose..." Campaign. Project Description: Washington Drug Free Youth(WDFY) Program and Community Education Outreach Support for WDFY members and Chapters: Our Spokane Valley public high schools continue to have active Washington Drug Free Youth(WDFY) chapters. WDFY members pledge to be drug free, volunteer for drug testing, and are randomly tested during the school year. They receive a discount card that is supported by local merchants for their decision to be drug free. This project will support a number of youth led strategies through school role models from each of the long established Spokane Valley schools' WDFY Chapters at East Valley High School, Central Valley High School, West Valley High School, University High School, and East Valley Middle School. It has been through the resources provided by the City of Spokane Valley in partnership with GSSAC that we have seen the high percentages of youth choosing to join WDFY. Spokane Valley has the largest number of chapters with the most members of our region. �-7 Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council's(GSSAC) Prevention Center 8104 East Sprague Avenue Spokane Valley, Washington 99212-2900 Working Together II Phone 509-922-8383 Fax 509-922-7716 Toward Sale Communities ,W gssac.org Free From Substance Abuse WDFY Youth, led by East Valley WDFY members, participated in a Youth Leadership Retreat in the spring of 2015 facilitated by GSSAC in partnership with Spokane County Community Services. The theme was "I choose..."with an open ended opportunity for youth to take ownership of their choice to be drug free. The youth voted to make this the theme for the 2015-16 WDFY school year while providing opportunities to promote the drug free messages with empowerment of youth to make the choice to be healthy and safe. At the end of this section is a picture of some of the idea generating work of the youth as they developed the campaign to positively influence their peers to be drug free. Since the youth leaders were mostly freshman and sophomores we will have many young leaders in positions to make this campaign an incredible success.

There have been some positive changes such as the elimination of private clubs but also changes in how the two systems will interact in the stores and amounts that are legal for individuals that are important information for everyone to be aware of and understand. A priority of our outreach will be community forums,business workshops, and general outreach to Spokane Valley citizens to share the very complicated details of this public policy. wity Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council's(GSSAC) Prevention Center ' i 8104 East Sprague Avenue Spokane Valley, Washington 99212-2900 Working Together Phone 509-922-8383 Fax 509-922-7716 Toward Safe Communities �,�,�,gSSSC org Free From Substance Abuse Strategies will include: 1. High School Youth Outreach: WDFY members continue to share stories/puppet shows that share a drug/violence free message with younger students at Spokane Valley elementary schools and community events. Support for this outreach by paying for program supplies, mileage and/or cost of busing for getting high school prevention outreach teams from the WDFY chapters to their feeder elementary and middle schools to share the drug free message so it becomes the norm that when a student reaches high school they join WDFY (program costs)will be critical for this outreach. 2. Supplies for Chapter Outreach to grow the WDFY Chapters: Each school raises much of their own funding for activities which is becoming more and more difficult in this economy. Youth leaders with the"I choose..." campaign will lead their school and community with presentations, contests, and events in partnership with GSSAC. WDFY will be more successful than ever in 2016. This grant application includes a small amount for each chapter to use for t-shirts or incentives for youth to join WDFY. Many WDFY chapters have adopted "WDFY Wednesdays"where the WDFY students wear their drug free shirt that day and are entered into drawings for small prizes (movie tickets or a burger) which generate interest/growth in the chapter. Spokane Valley wide events for the chapters have used resources dedicated to capacity building of increasing the norm to be drug free across our city. 3. Community Training including two (2) Community Forums: Since the passage of I-502 the recreational use of marijuana for adults, GSSAC has been actively presenting workshops, presentations and information about marijuana—the "what now"of the implementation of recreational marijuana. In the fall of 2015 in partnership with the City of Spokane Valley, GSSAC will present the first of a series (as proposed in this application) of Community Forums (utilizing 2015 Spokane Valley Social Services funding for the Fall 2015 one) that will provide the latest legislative changes to the implementation of I-502 Recreational Marijuana including the rules made around medical marijuana. This event has been delayed until fall due to the extended legislative session including three special sessions. There are many legislative changes including adjustments to how the `Marijuana Fund' is being disbursed which has delayed funding being distributed for another year. In July 2015 the one year anniversary of retail stores, marijuana sales in Washington State have generated$257,000,000 resulting in$70,000,000 of tax revenue. None of that revenue has been distributed to date as outlined in I 502. These requested grant funds will provide supplies and travel for trainings about marijuana and other drugs to be presented in Spokane Valley schools, parent groups, businesses, governmental agencies, community service organizations and other local entities. The Community Forums will be public engagement events with education for the community on the changes and updated policies around the implementation of Greater Spokane Substance Abuse Council's(GSSAC) Prevention Center NILS 8104 East Sprague Avenue Spokane Valley, Washington 99212=2900 Working Together Phone 509-922-8383 Fax 509-922-7716 Toward Sale Communities www.gssac.org Free From Substance Abuse recreational and medical marijuana. The misconceptions of"what is allowed and what is not"would be addressed as well as interaction with the citizens on how our community of Spokane Valley will work together to keep our city safe and welcoming. A media campaign including billboards,print media and public services announcements will increase community participation and engagement. This has been a successful component of our outreach efforts resulting in increased support for WDFY and will be supported by our partnerships with local media outlets. Amount requested: $12,000.00 Budget summary: WDFY support for 6 Chapters: $6,000.00 Outreach materials/media: $4,000.00 Community educational events: $2,000.00 Total: $12,000.00 % of GSSAC Budget: $12,000 is 6%of GSSAC's 2015-16 budget of$225,000.00. Our budget is grant and fee based with the vast majority of the funding being designated to specific programs with dedicated staff and resources to the project. This funding is critical to the WDFY program due to the severe cuts to prevention at the state and federal level over the past years. None of the intended prevention funding from the Marijuana Fund established in I 502 that will eventually come will be distributed to community organizations like GSSAC. In Spokane County the funding that will come will only be distributed to the two Community Prevention Wellness Initiative(CPWI) coalitions funded through the WA State Department of Behavior Health and Recovery which includes the West Central Community Coalition and the East Valley Community Coalition. GSSAC works with both of these coalitions and are grateful for the resources dedicated to those neighborhoods but we have long advocated for county wide prevention for every county across the state. There was funding in the state budget that would have reinstated Community Mobilization Against Substance Abuse and Violence prevention funding for all communities but it was eliminated once again at the last minute of budget negotiations by the Senate. The funding from the City of Spokane Valley is critical to helping GSSAC provide prevention services in our community.

The perception of harm of use of marijuana among our youth has been on a downward trend since the implementation of medical marijuana in our state among our youth who, according to the 2014 Washington State Healthy Youth Survey(Survey), feel it is very easy to access marijuana and alcohol. The data also shows that by the 12th grade only 37%percent of students report that adults in their neighborhood think youth marijuana use is "very wrong". Another alarming statistic from the Survey is that 28%of our 12th graders have ridden in the car with someone using marijuana. We know through research that we can make a difference by supporting youth in making the positive choice to be drug free—not matter what substance(s) are legal for adults. It is important that we change the perception that marijuana is not harmful so that when our young people grow up we do not see increased numbers of impaired drivers because they think it is okay to drive while using marijuana. This direct benefit to our community is safer drivers and less crashes on our roads. Our high school youth are making positive choices which means we are increasingly growing a drug free work force in our city. Thanks to the past support of Spokane Valley-- WDFY is strong! The direct benefit to the citizens of Spokane Valley is an increase in the health and safety of our general population and reduction in drug related crimes and related behaviors. Direct contact with Spokane Valley Citizens will be made through presentations at our schools and community sites where WDFY youth and advisors will join GSSAC staff to promote awareness of the impact of legalization of marijuana based on the Rules implemented by the Washington State Liquor Cannabis Board but more importantly, what efforts are taking place in prevention to help our youth make the choice to not to use any drug. Spokane Valley will be a model city for how youth are supported through widespread citizen engagement and support for positive community norms as the changes to the implementation of I-502 continues.

As soon as Spokane Valley allows tiny houses, we are ready to build small clusters of tiny houses in "villages" on unused land provided by local congregations. The project includes skills training. To make this happen, Fuller Center is partnering with STEPS Reentry and Paces and Spaces for the social service portion of the project. Fuller Center's Background The Inland Northwest Fuller Center for Housing (INFCH) is the first covenant partner with The Fuller Center for Housing (Americus, GA), founded by Millard Fuller who earlier had started Habitat for Humanity. We are a 501(c)(3)Washington corporation (EIN: 47-2679523, UBI Number: 603-475-267). The office is in Spokane Valley Partner's building, 10814 E. Broadway in Spokane Valley. Contact person is Terri Meyer, the administrator. She may be contacted at (office) 509-922- 5555 or (cell) 509-590-7194. How We Work– Enlightened Charity! When Jesus counseled us to reach out to the poor, He probably didn't mean for us to make them dependent, rob them of their self-esteem and take away their initiative. Unfortunately, that's just the effect that much charitable giving has. The Fuller Center for Housing offers people of goodwill a more enlightened way of giving. While we are a faith-based organization, we are ecumenical and will work with anyone committed to providing decent affordable housing for the disadvantaged. We provide capital and construction help to those in need, allowing them to own a home. Partner families are selected on the basis of three criteria—need, willingness to partner and the ability to repay costs on terms they can afford, over time and with no interest charged or profit made. In most cases this means that a family can own a simple, decent home at a much lower monthly cost than they would pay in rent for a lesser dwelling. The Fuller Center fronts the construction costs and mobilizes volunteers to get the work done. Partner families are expected to help in all aspects of construction or, in the case of physical disability, to do whatever they can to support the program, such as office work. The family's no- interest, no-profit-made mortgage payments stay in the community to help build and renovate more houses. The results for the partner family are significant. They are not simply recipients but also participants in a life-changing event. As their payments go toward work on other houses, they become donors in their own right. Dignity is restored, self-reliance affirmed and a solid step taken to break the cycle of poverty. This is enlightened charity! Mission Statement To provide a gateway to recovery for families and individuals who experience barriers to success whether it be from incarceration or being homeless due to lack of support,credit issues,evictions,or the knowledge to enable them to change their lives to be successful.We will strive to provide the training and services needed to ensure they have all their past barriers broken thus enabling them to, for the first time in their lives have the assistance they need, not only once, but on an ongoing basis. For the first time in their life they will be able to attain something they thought was unattainable,which is home ownership.They will learn job skills to assure sustainability at the same time.The families we serve will now have HOPE and learn how to work together as a community.This will create a new and exciting life without doubt,grief, anger and lack of self-esteem. Description of Project Inland Northwest Fuller Center for Housing, Places and Spaces and STEPS Reentry have created a partnership to provide ongoing sustainable permanent housing for clients that meet the protocol for the program. The selected recipients are individuals and families that are currently or have been incarcerated, homeless,whether it be living on the streets or couch surfing. Places and Spaces is the current housing component for Department of Correction placements for our transitional housing.The director,Terri Mayer, has been a Community Choice Guide with DSHS as a contractor and has placed over 125 clients from nursing homes and other facilities into permanent housing with assistance of DSHS funded services. She is also on the State of Washington Governor's Board as the consumer and family advocate,and assisted with the creation of a statewide discharge plan for clients.She was also instrumental in moving our previous"tent city"clients into permanent housing in 2008. Steps Reentry is focused on addressing individual dynamic risk factors that are identified as primary reasons for homelessness. Lack of housing,antisocial behaviors and no community support are often primary risks.The below list of immediate services are designed to mitigate dynamic risk factors thus increasing personal success Steps Reentry, (formerly known as Opengate), has provided transitional housing and resources,classes and referrals for offenders within our state prison system for the past 4 years.Steps is now the programming part of our total program,which consists of the following REQUIRED services: • Obtain state ID • Obtain social security card • Obtain Background Check including credit and criminal • Money Management classes including budgeting • MRT and Responsible Renters Classes • Bus pass to enable person to get to required classes and/or seek jobs • Obtain food stamps and clothing • Obtain medical insurance • Assistance with temporary housing until Tiny House is built • Assistance with SSI or SSA applications, referrals to cash assistance • Ensure child support is current • Ensure Legal Financial Obligations have been reduced or eliminated • Ensure student loans are in deferral • Referral to bankruptcy or SSA attorney if needed • Drivers license(relicensing) • Obtain transportation • Assistance with obtaining energy assistance • Work with family for supportive services • Ongoing case management(no end date) After all these classes are completed and a client is deemed eligible for the Tiny House,the client and/or family will be relocated to a Village and will be part of the community.The client and/or family will be required to provide sweat equity(based on their ability),to help create a sustainable long term life plan. Once they complete the program,they will own their own Tiny House and be able to continue to live in the Village,or move it with funds set aside for them to a private property of their own.The goal is for families and individuals to live together in a "community"successfully and sustainably,with all their needs met. The Villages will have the following: • Onsite store • Vegetable and fruit farming • Community Center(including onsite laundry facilities) • Weight Room • Activities Room (including arts and crafts for families and specialized area for children) • Job skills training(will include certificates once completed) • Community outings and events • Other assets as approved by the individual "village" • Security The Villages will be run independently with the participants making and enforcing all community guidelines and policies. Funding request for Social Services INWFC,Steps and Places and Spaces are requesting funding in the amount of 47,631.00 to fund our service project for fiscal year 2016.This represents approximately 33%of our current program budget. With this budget we are planning on serving 100 individuals, including families in 2016. We will utilize these funds to cover office expense and assistance to the families and individuals we serve.With this assistance,we will be able to utilize our current funding which is coming in the form of Department of Corrections Housing Vouchers and private pay rent,to pay staff to assist these clients. We will be soliciting grants from the City of Spokane for Coordinated Homeless Assessments,and Inland Northwest Foundation to further assist with providing funding for these and future clients. Our current budget is attached,which shows our monthly and yearly expenditures.

Page 1 of 2 THE SPOKESMAN-'REVIEW January 17, 2008 Volunteer helped find homes for former tent city residents Kevin Grarnan Staff writer The day before the tent city on a vacant lot in northeast Spokane closed late last year, James Coltson and his _ common-law wife, Brandee Harding, had no idea where = they would go. 40 "We'll be back on the street or in the woods," Coltson Dave Lambert,right,stands in a small told The Spokesman-Review at the time. The young rental house with James Coltson and couple, no strangers to homelessness, would get by Brandee Harding on Tuesday.They all somehow as they always had on their trek from Florida used to live in the tent city on North Napa Street.THE SPOKESMAN- to Washington. REVIEW But Spokane has a way of coming through for the truly needy. James and Brandee were given a place to live and a chance to get back on their feet, thanks in large part to a 53-year-old AmeriCorps volunteer with connections to landlords who own affordable housing. "I'm doing this because I care, and I know how to get people help," said Terri Mayer, whose compassion for the homeless was shaped by her brother's failed struggle with alcoholism. Mayer was able to find housing and some social services for 16 of the 32 people living at the tent city at Sinto Avenue and Napa Street when Realtor Robert Gilles— under mounting pressure from the city—ordered them off his property by Dec. 1. Gilles had allowed the homeless and their advocates to squat on his property after the group was kicked out of its more conspicuous campsite on the grassy median at Riverside Avenue and Monroe Street in late October. Mayer can only guess what became of the 16 others who did not take advantage of her offer to help. She believes some had places to live and chose to be part of the tent city scene anyway. Volunteer helped find homes for former tent city residents- Spokesman.com-Jan. 17, 20... Page 2 of 2 Of the 16 who asked for help, she said, three entered inpatient drug rehabilitation; two entered the Lord's Ranch, a residential Christian discipleship program north of Spokane; one has returned to life on the streets; and 10 found permanent or temporary low-income housing in Spokane. "Every person that finds housing is one less we have to worry about," Mayer said. The future is far from secure for James and Brandee, but for the moment they have a warm place to sleep, on the floor of a modest North Perry duplex they share with three other former tent city residents. The group was able to work out a deal with the landlord to pay their security deposit in installments. The landlord agreed to those terms provided the tenants participate in Responsible Renters, a program designed by case managers from nine social service agencies to teach homeless people the skills necessary to become stable and find permanent housing. Goodwill Industries is helping Coltson, who will turn 20 this month, recover his identification, which was stolen along with other personal items at the bus station when he arrived in Spokane. Harding, 23, is receiving employment training and pay from Goodwill, which gets federal funds to help the homeless learn job skills. In 2007, Goodwill received about $48,000, according to program manager Jack Lilienthal. He said the number of homeless persons seeking assistance at Goodwill nearly doubled last year. Many needed help getting birth certificates or photo IDs from other states- documents necessary to sign rental agreements and get jobs.Of the eight or 10 people who came to Goodwill from the tent city, Lilienthal said, three or four are still receiving help.

Opengate PO Box 7 Newman Lake,WA. 99025 RE: Open Gate Dear President Rodarte, I am writing to express support for the work of Open Gate,a non-profit organization operating out of Spokane,Washington. Open Gate and the Washington DOC have built a productive relationship around a shared interest in reducing recidivism and helping people successfully return to society from prison. Open Gate is deserving of recognition for their unique approach of delivering wraparound community re-entry services. From social services to housing, Open Gate opens doors and helps men and women find their way. DOC and Open Gate currently work together at some eastern Washington facilities to build effective release plans for offenders returning to society. The staff members'at Open Gate are in direct contact with staff at Airway Heights, Coyote Ridge Corrections Center, Brownstone Work Release and other facilities. We support the program's work within our correctional facilities by providing meeting space, and connecting offenders to the staff at Open Gate. The program has proven to be a valuable asset for many prisoners releasing to the community; warranting the support of DOC. Just today an offender that had been unable to release from prison due to the lack of a suitable community address was offered housing by Open Gate. Community transition resources are a precious commodity, and Open Gate's efforts contribute to our mission of public safety. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

One of our first steps is to identify and work through these 19 potential hindrances to a productive life. The good news is that STEPS has 19 experts, each able to guide people through these challenges. The first five are usually dealt with on the first day someone arrives at the Fuller Center. They may come from a background of homelessness, a family crisis, divorce, incarceration, or a domestic violence situation. The cause may have been a bad decision, a bad habit, bad luck, or a bad relationship. So what? We are here to help people work through the system, to solve problems not to fix blame.

We view chemical dependency as a chronic,systemic, progressive and,when left untreated,fatal disease. Therefore,we offer promise,hope, and the courage to set realistic goals,while also working to fortify each patient's self- confidence and self-esteem. Serving our communities at large since 1980, we have four programs that serve women, children,and men. Our patients are almost exclusively.low-income individuals and families. • The Isabella House Women and Children's Program is the only program of its kind in the Inland Northwest. The Isabella House(pictured to the right) is a six-month residential program that serves women who have children and/or are pregnant and who suffer the effects of substance use and abuse. Our services (described below) develop each mother's parenting and life/coping skills. • To meet the needs of our parenting women,the Children's Center, a licensed therapeutic childcare program,is located adjacent to the Isabella House. The program can serve up to twenty-one children from infants to age five. While their mothers participate in treatment programming,the children take part in a developmentally appropriate curriculum provided by staff trained in early childhood education and behavior management. • Our Outpatient Counseling Services program assists patients with identified problems associated with substance abuse(e.g., gambling,financial problems,failure in school, domestic violence, child abuse, etc.).For these patients,we provide individualized treatment plans,family support, and after-care in both individual and group therapy settings. • Our residential Sun Ray Court facility is for men,who are ready to overcome the stress and torment caused by living with substance abuse.At our recovery house,patients benefit from specialized treatment.programs(e.g.,empowerment and education,stress and'anger management, grief/loss counseling, life/employment skills,HIV/AIDS education, etc.) designed for culturally diverse populations. Sun Ray Court also offers low income,clean and sober HUD housing for all eligible applicants. New Horizon Care Centers- 2015 1 Spokane Social Services Grant Request Project Description One of our goals in our residential program is to provide our clients with the opportunity to build their re-entry skills. They have continuous education and practice at relapse prevention, life skill training,and parenting coaching,to name a few re-entry skills taught One of the classes offered in our life skill training is how to use a computer. The class focuses on how to build a resume,and how to conduct job searches on the internet. Currently,our clients have use of one computer located in our administrative building. It's primary function is for the clients to fill out GED information,GED testing,as well as other personal business such as DSHS paperwork.The single computer works for its.intended purpose. It is not reasonable to expect 23 clients to effectively and efficiently be able to get time on that one computer to practice their computer skills;build resumes,and search for jobs on a regular basis. Access to 5 laptops in their own residence,Isabella House would expedite the process of their re- entry by making technology more available to them to use. The immediate impact on our community is that we will have citizens with sobriety,entering the workforce,ultimately gainfully employed and contributing to our local economy and community. We respectfully request your assistance in strengthening our re-entry program by giving our clients easier access to technology. Request and Budget We are requesting$1624.05 for 5 refurbished Dell laptops representing.5%of our overall budget. A summarized budget sheet is attached. City of Spokane Valley Citizen Impact There are three ways the citizens of the City of Spokane Valley may have direct contact with our clients and/or organization: 1. We have the capacity of helping approximately 84 women a year. In their recovery process they will be likely to re-enter the workforce possibly in the City of Spokane Valley. 2. These families may choose to live in and receive out patienttreatment in the City of Spokane Valley. 3. One of our Outpatient Treatment Facilities is in the City of Spokane Valley (15407 E Mission.) Clients may be an extension of our in-patient program or simply be an out patient client. In all three of these scenarios the citizens of the City of Spokane Valley would experience our clients as fellow citizens. As an organization we contribute a safety net to our community by providing our services.

For the past 10 years, we have hosted the Celebration of Lights, an opportunity for the community to gather for a tree lighting, choral groups, and a visit from Santa, carried in by a Spokane Valley Fire Department engine. The tree presently in use was given to our Rotary Club by the City some 10 or 11 years ago. Through last year, it had been put up in the old U-City parking lot. Now, however, the ability to use that tree is coming to an end. The lights no longer are operable and this past winter, the tree suffered structural damage that may or may not be able to be repaired. In a worst ase scenario, the bottom ring may not be able to be used, making the tree 4' shorter. In conversations with the Mayor, some of the council members, and with the design architects for the new City Hall, the idea has been floated to use one of the existing live evergreens in what will be the new City Hall area. This would be an immediate and long-term solution to the present tree issue. We could start using one of those evergreen for this year's Celebration of Lights providing the demolition of U-City would preclude that. To do this would require more lights and some decorations. Those recommendations and requests are attached. We would be going from a 30' tree to at least 50'. Our Club's vision for the Celebration of Lights in the future is to make it an integral part of the City Center. There is no reason this couldn't grow to include at least two choirs from the area schools, a marching band from a high school to lead Santa in, the participation of Miss Spokane Valley, participation of City administration members- the possibilities are endless! This could certainly become a major event! And, it would be on the grounds of the City Hall. ' o do this right would require some additional funding to be able to present a tree that properly represents both the City of Spokane Valley and The Rotary Club of Spokane Valley. And it would require electrical power run to the tree by the City. Each year the attendance has been growing. This past year, we had some 300 people of all ages, but mostly children for whom this Event has become so special. Our goal is n`i ke this into an Event we all can be proud of, one that draws large. crowds, involves more of the community and it schools, and helps to put the City and the new City Hall "on the map." The Rotary Club of Spokane Valley is a 501c3 organization and our goal has been, and remains, to help the residents of Spokane Valley. We appreciate your consideration of this request, and look forward to hearing from you. Respectfully, Mike Payson, President The Rotary Club of Spokane Valley P. O.

The mission of Safety Net is to assist foster youth with immediate emergency financial aid and necessary support to continue their education, enhance their job skills and transition to self-sufficiency and independence. Brief statement of purpose and background of Safety Net. Safety Net was founded six years ago as a local grassroots non profit to ensure the success of foster children turning 18. As these children age out of foster care a majority aren't ready to make it on their own. To make sure no child falls through the cracks, we are their"safety net". More information is available at Safteynetspokane.org Description of the project or activity for which funding is requested. An explanation of how it benefits our community. Safety Net is asking for funds to help buy beds for foster youth who are aging out of the system. By purchasing beds for them, we are helping build their confidence and self-esteem. In many cases it is the first bed they have ever had to call their own. We work with a local company, Northwest Bedding, to buy the beds at cost. We also buy them sheets, blankets, pillows etc. in order to let them know the community cares. Safety Net directly assists these youth within our community. Foster children are ageing out of the system and are present in the Spokane Valley as well as our entire county. With our help they will be a healthier part of our community with a healthier self esteem. These beds are the beginning of feeling like Spokane has not forgotten them. The amount requested, summary budget, and percentage of Safety Net's overall budget that the requested represents. Safety Net is requesting $2,000 in funds. Our summary budget is approximately $50,000 annually. All of the money goes towards helping the kids except for: contract employee salaries of$400 a month, $500 annually for taxes, $300 rent each month for the Safety Net store, and $9,000 annually to hold the auction that raises 90% of our funding. We estimate that$2000 in funding would represent 4% of our annual budget of$50,000. Highlight the direct contact Safety Net has with City of Spokane Valley Citizens. Many of our foster children are from the Spokane Valley area. As it has been their home it is the area they are still living in or will return to. Our Safety net store is conveniently located in the Spokane Valley where we directly support Spokane Valley foster children. Thank You !

SVP serves families in all of Eastern Spokane County,with the largest percentage living within the City of Spokane Valley as illustrated below.

SVP's clothing bank distributes free clothing,household goods, personal care items, and layettes for newborns to nearly 9,000 families each year. SVP's emergency ervices program provides assistance with utilities, rent,bus passes,prescriptions and other assistance to nearly 2,400 individuals annually. SVP also offers several seasonal programs for low income families including"Coats-4-Kids"; and our Food for Thought program for homeless students. For the past several years SVP has also provided swim suits and pool passes for local kids. True to our commitment of promoting self-reliance, SVP programs have appropriate educational components e.g.life skills classes,financial planning workshops, and cooking/nutrition demonstrations. SVP also serves as the fiscal agent for the Greater Valley Support Network, a 260 member coalition comprised of faith congregations,businesses,schools, elected officials,service clubs and non-profits. The Network has developed six task forces to address the needs of homeless and very low income families. These initiatives include: housing,transportation,medical,mentoring/tutoring, basic life necessities and service coordination. SVP has also developed new initiatives geared toward helping families learn to grow some of their own food. Our"Fresh Start Community Garden"operates on 2.5 acres provided to us by Modern Electric Water Company; and our second community garden is on East Spokane Water District 1 property in the Edgecliff neighborhood. SVP staff members have considerable experience in case management and are able to identify needs and match our service recipients with additional community resources as needed. In addition to our own core and seasonal programs, SVP provides a home base for other organizations including ValleyFest, SNAP, Ignite Community Theater and The ARC of Spokane. New to our campus is Inland Northwest Fuller Center for Housing and Steps Program helping incarcerated with re-entry into the workforce. Fuller/Steps are also at the forefront of the"tiny house"movement. By clustering -ervices on one central campus,we are able save our clients'time,travel expense and the emotional stress associated with multiple trips. Our surveys show that families coming to SVP use, on average, three services per visit. Local Community Impact: In 2014, Spokane Valley Partners: • Provided food for 10,936 families through our Food Bank • Provided clothing and personal care items for 8,613 families through our Clothing Bank • Distributed baby layettes to 75 new mothers through our Clothing Bank • Provided emergency help to 673 families through our Emergency Assistance Program • Distributed boxes of Valentine's Day cards to 100 students through our Have a Heart Program Page 2 of 4 • Distributed weekend food to 287 homeless students, on a weekly basis, during the 2013-14 academic year through our Food For Thought Program • Taught families how to grow some of their own food and also harvested over 2,000 pounds of produce for our Food Bank through our Community Gardens Program • Managed funds for an average of 105 individuals per month through our Protective Payee Program • Provided holiday food baskets to more than 1,200 families and Easter baskets to more than 300 families through our Food Bank • Benefitted from 22,471 volunteer hours (equal to 10.5 full-time employees) Funding Rationale: As a private, donor based organization,it is a continuous challenge to fund operations. SVP operates very efficiently,with administrative and fundraising costs around 8% (the benchmark for irganizations similar in size and complexity to SVP is 15%). Like many businesses and organizations facing very tight budgets, SVP maintains a very small and flexible professional staff(6.9 hill time equivalents in 2015). Each staff member is expected to fill multiple operational roles as necessary. With a projected$489,000 operational budget for 2016, SVP will provide over $3,000,000 in services. This will be accomplished through leveraging community resources. With our small paid staff, SVP utilizes volunteers extensively; over 22,000 hours were given in 2015 (11 full time equivalents). SW also procures substantial in-kind contributions of food(over 13,000,000 pounds since 2006) and clothing(over 1,300,000 pounds since 2006) as well as dedicated funds for utilities assistance, prescriptions and other emergency services (over $790,000 since 2006). Financial Information: Spokane Valley Partners is requesting an investment of$40,000 from the City of Spokane Valley in support of SW operations. Per the city's stated preference,we are not requesting funds for salaries or capital projects. This investment will represent approximately 8%of our annual operational budget and approximately 1.3%of our total budget.The chart below illustrates the projected sources of our 2016 operational revenue.

Of equal importance, receiving direct funding from the largest municipality in our service area adds considerable credibility to our requests for support from community groups,private foundations and corporations outside of our service area. Our requests for capital project funds from the State of Washington have been highly successful through the continuing support of our District 4 legislators, with $585,000 granted to SVP during the past three biennial budgets.With corporate, foundation and other local matches,this figure is well over $1 million.These"outside funders"carefully evaluate the nature and degree of local sources of support,including our home city. Further, as we choose local contractors for these capital projects,these funds directly benefit our local economy. Fully funding our operations is vital to SVP's long term financial stability as well as our ability to provide critical services to those in need in our community.

Since 1903 the YWCA has been at the forefront of helping Spokane's women and children overcome social, economic,racial, and personal barriers in order to accomplish their goals and achieve their dreams of healthier and more fulfilling lives. The YWCA fulfills its mission through its three umbrella programs: o The Alternatives to Domestic Violence Program (ADVP)provides safe shelter, transitional and permanent supportive housing, counseling,legal assistance, and advocacy to survivors of domestic violence and their children. ADVP's mission is to work cooperatively with other local organizations to end domestic violence in Spokane County. ADVP served 12,074 domestic violence survivors and their children in 2014. f The Women's Opportunity Center(WOC) is a job readiness and personal development resource center for women who have experienced domestic violence,job loss, single motherhood, limited access to formal education,poverty,homelessness,or a combination of these. Services help each participant improve her livelihood as well as her personal and educational assets. The Center supported 1,789 women in 2014. o Child and Youth Services offerings include the Early Childhood Education and Assistance Program (ECEAP), which helps low-income four year olds to be kindergarten ready; a free, on-site child care program, which enables women with children to participate in YWCA classes and services; and a Child Advocacy Program,which provides counseling to children and caregivers who have survived domestic violence and are in the process of rebuilding their lives. These programs assisted 1,953 children and their family members in 2014. Description of the Project The YWCA shelter program provides safe, confidential shelter for more than 450 victims of domestic violence and their children each year. The YWCA is the only state recognized provider of domestic violence shelter services in Spokane County. Domestic abuse calls are the most common 911 call received in Spokane County. A Spokane County random digit dialing (RDD)household survey (1997-2003) found that one-third of residents had been victimized by an intimate partner and 40%had witnessed abuse in the home as a child. The grim reality for victims is that fleeing domestic violence is extremely dangerous. The most recent Washington State Fatality Review (2011) finds that in 55%of domestic violence-related homicides the victim had left or was in the process of leaving her abuser when she was murdered. Consequently, it is vital that we help victims leave as safely as possible. Shelter is an evidenced-based approach that significantly increases safety for victims and their children. Access to shelter services leads to a 60 to 70%reduction in incidence and severity of re-assault during the three-to twelve-month follow-up period compared to women who do not access shelter services (RAVE Study, 2005). YWCA of Spokane Page 2 of 4 r( YWCA shelter services are - -- available to anyone fleeing 2014 On domestic violence regardless 3,628 Crisis Line calls of income, ethnicity, or 74 victims and their children sheltered in the Valley gender. Shelter 375 victims and their children sheltered in the City of Spokane accommodations and services are provided free of charge, to ensure that shelter services are accessible to all victims and their children. Our Valley Shelter facility is a six-bedroom home that includes one full kitchen, a kitchenette, two living rooms,two dining rooms, and 3.5 bathrooms.To access the 'Valley Shelter, victims of domestic violence call the 24-hour YWCA Crisis Line. Before assessing transportation needs, trained counselors screen potential clients to confirm that they are in imminent danger. If transportation poses a barrier, cab services are utilized (at no charge to the client). Once at the shelter, clients are provided with a room,bed,linen, clothing,toiletries, and meals. Similar to our City of Spokane shelter, trained counselors assist Valley clients with safety planning, case management, and access to crucial community resources. The Valley Shelter is located within walking distance of bus routes. Children residing at the shelter are supported through the Spokane Public Schools Homeless Education and Resource Team (HEART) program, so that they can continue their education at their school of origin,whenever appropriate. (All services are free to clients and their children.) 2014 Outcomes 92% of Crisis Line callers indicated that they felt their safety had increased as a result of safety planning and an increased awareness of available support and resources 88% of victims indicated that they felt their safety had increased as a result of shelter services 98% of victims indicated that they felt their long-term stability and safety had increased Benefit to the Community Reducing the erosion of victims' safety nets,while also providing shelter and confidentiality,is a balance we strive to achieve. Our Valley clients have friends in their local communities.Their children have social and supportive networks at their schools. Some victims have religious communities to which they belong. Others benefit from having extended family in their neighborhoods. By providing shelter in the Valley, we are helping victims to stay in their home community and continue accessing their existing safety nets. By emphasizing this potential, we can minimize disruptions to school, work, and community life. Enabling a victim to choose to continue to reside in her own community(if that is where she feels safest) ensures that her safety nets remain intact, which, in turn, can help her transition smoothly from the Valley Shelter to more autonomous living. Direct Contact with City of Spokane Valley Residents Spokane County is the fourth-most populous county in Washington State, and the YWCA is the only state-recognized provider of confidential safe shelter services for domestic violence victims and their children in the entire county. The YWCA emergency shelter program compliments existing services without duplication. For instance,the YWCA is the only shelter program in Spokane County that includes an around-the- YWCA of Spokane Page 3 of 4 clock crisis line. YWCA Crisis Line staff arranges transportation for victims fleeing abusive relationships and assists them in securing safe shelter within minutes of calling. In total,our sheltering program provided nearly 9,000 bednights for victims and their children in 2014. To accommodate these clients, we furnished more than $9,000 worth of food, which does not include monthly in-kind donations of$2,000 or more. We anticipate that 80 victims of domestic violence and their children will be served at our Valley Shelter during the 2016 grant year,which equates to approximately 2,000 bednights. Summary Budget While we have acquired grant dollars to pay for leasing and the staffing necessary to manage the Valley Shelter,we are lacking the funds necessary to cover utilities and client food and transportation.Therefore,we respectfully request the following assistance: 2015 City of Spokane Valley Request Item Calculation Total Utilities ($500/month x 12 months) $6,000 Client Food ($250/month x 12 months) $3,000 Client Transportation ($200/month x 12 months) $2,400 Total $11,400 This request, detailed below,is less than one-half of one percent of the YWCA's overall budget. O Utilities:Expenses will include security,telephone,trash,water and sewage, and gas and electricity.All of these utilities are necessary for the shelter to function and for the security of residents to be ensured. O Client Food: Victims of domestic violence and their children who reside in the shelter will have access to food for each of their three daily meals. O Client Transportation: Transportation includes cab fare for victims fleeing violent homes and/or bus passes once they are at the shelter. These budget items directly benefit City of Spokane Valley residents.Additionally,these costs meet the City's giving guidelines, as they are neither capital assets nor salaries. Agency Budget Attached hereto,please find the approved 2015 (January 1 to December 31)operating budget for the YWCA,which also contains individual program budgets.Please note that the safe shelter budget includes both YWCA shelters,which are located in the City of Spokane and the City of Spokane Valley.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State law. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Through the 2016 Budget development process there have been discussions regarding the 2016 property tax levy including a public hearing that was held on August 25th where estimates of the City's 2016 revenues were discussed. BACKGROUND: 2016 Levy and Estimated Rate per$1,000 of Assessed Value • State law requires that the City pass an ordinance that establishes a property tax levy and per our 2016 Budget calendar we are scheduled to adopt this legislation on October 13, 2015. • Our proposed 2016 property tax levy does not include the 1% increase allowed by State law. • The levy will include property taxes on new construction. • With the passage of this ordinance we estimate the City will collect approximately $11,479,200 in 2016 which is computed as follows: 2015 Actual Levy 11,279,152.00 + 0% Increase 0.00 2016 Levy after increase 11,279,152.00 + Estimated new construction 200,000.00 Total estimated 2016 Levy 11,479,152.00 • The levy is based upon a July 21, 2015, preliminary estimate of assessed property values provided to the City by the Spokane County Assessor of $7,610,235,880. This figure does not yet include a number of factors that will be considered by the Assessor including exemptions, appeals, corrections or new construction which is determined by the end of July with a certification by approximately mid-September. • Total property tax revenue of $11,479,152 on preliminary assessed values of $7,610,235,880 will produce a levy of approximately $1.508383 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2016 ($11,479,152 / ($7,610,235,880/1,000) = $1.508383). • It is important to note that that this estimate is based upon the Assessor's latest preliminary projections of assessed value as of 7/21/2015. A change in any of the elements including assessed value, new construction estimate and/or a change in the amount of our proposed levy will change the levy rate per $1,000. At this point we believe the "new construction" portion of the preliminary assessed values has not yet been included. Once this figure is updated I believe the estimated levy rate per $1,000 should decrease. P:IClerklAgendaPackets for Web12015Iagendapacket 2015, 09-011Item 2 RCA For ord prop tax.docx Banked Capacity Banked capacity is the difference between what the City could levy and what it actually does. In the case of the City of Spokane Valley our maximum levy rate is $1.60 per $1,000 of assessed value. Any amount levied that is less than $1.60 per$1,000 of assessed value represents "banked capacity." Included in the analysis below is history of Spokane Valley levies including seven years of actual figures (2009 through 2015) and a preliminary estimate for 2016: A B C D E F G H I Highest Maximum Banked Levy Taxable Lawful Actual Total Levy Rate Levy Rate Levy Rate Banked Year Value Levy Levy Refund Levy per$1,000 per$1,000 per$1,000 Capacity (=C+D) (=E/(A/1,000)) (=G-F) 2015 assessment for 2016 $7,610,235,880 ??? $11,479,152 ??? $11,479,152 $1.508383 $1.60 $0.091617 $697,225 2014 assessment for 2015 $7,393,971,582 $11,740,674 $11,230,806 $48,346 $11,279,152 $1.525452 $1.60 $0.074548 $509,868 2013 assessment for 2014 $7,168,991,028 $11,472,290 $11,049,400 $27,744 $11,077,144 $1.545147 $1.60 $0.054853 $422,890 2012 assessment for 2013 $6,921,825,295 $11,074,920 $10,899,437 $20,495 $10,919,932 $1.577609 $1.60 $0.022391 $175,483 2011 assessment for 2012 $7,087,523,395 $11,340,034 $10,808,900 $9,817 $10,818,717 $1.526445 $1.60 $0.073555 $531,134 2010 assessment for 2011 $7,140,947,644 $11,138,355 $10,700,000 $32,863 $10,732,863 $1.503003 $1.60 $0.096997 $438,355 2009 assessment for 2010 $7,169,492,602 $10,902,644 $10,799,500 $27,208 $10,826,708 $1.510108 $1.60 $0.089892 $103,144 2008 assessment for 2009 $7,019,508,327 $10,600,725 $10,500,000 $28,505 $10,528,505 $1.499892 $1.60 $0.100108 $100,725 Note: Figures reflected for the 2016 levy are preliminary and subject to change. At a minimum we know the Taxable Value figure of$7,292,641,931 will change because it does not yet include"new construction". • Generally speaking, you'll note there is a direct relationship between the Taxable Value listed in column A, and the Banked Capacity in columns H and I. In other words, as the Taxable Value increases the Banked Capacity also increases. • Alternatively though, there is an inverse relationship between the direction of the Taxable Value in column A and the Levy Rate per $1,000 in column F. In other words, as the Taxable Value increases (as is the case in 2015 and 2016) the Levy Rate per $1,000 decreases. Essentially what occurs in this case is that even though the Levy Rate per $1,000 may decrease, the actual amount paid by a property owner may not change significantly because the value of the property has increased. By the same token, as the economy declines and Taxable Values decrease, the Levy Rate per $1,000 will likely increase. • It is also noteworthy that in the years the City does not levy the 1% increase in property tax revenue that is allowed by State law, that potential increase is "banked" for potential future use. • The banked capacity can be accessed by the City through the annual property tax levy ordinance adopted by the Council. However, the City may only take the banked capacity up to a level where the levy rate per$1,000 of assessed value does not exceed $1.60. OPTIONS: Passage of this ordinance is required by law in order to levy 2016 property taxes. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action is needed at this time. This item will return to the Council agenda on September 22nd and October 13th, where the Council will consider the first and second readings of the 2016 Property Tax Levy Ordinance. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This ordinance levies property taxes for the City's 2016 Budget where we anticipate property tax revenues to be approximately $11,479,200 or 29.11% of total General Fund recurring revenues of$39,438,428.

Currently the majority of street lights are high pressure sodium (HPS) lights which are typically 100 or 200 watt bulbs and are not energy efficient. Replacing these existing HPS lights with LED fixtures will reduce energy usage by approximately 50%. Staff has asked the four major electric utilities what if any programs and plans they have for replacing street lights with LED fixtures. In talking with these companies each has a different approach to replacing old inefficient fixtures with energy saving LED fixtures. Staff has a presentation describing each utility's plan for LED street light implementation.

The two common types of lights are 100W and 200W High Pressure Sodium lights(HPS). 2 • oris Spokane Valley Street Lights ' •• Orchard:,: : .�•••M if ' i • • SFr•_!••• • ••• _• ; • • ••••I ;fdFrs,od • • i • I w • • • :i•=••• w • ! • I • • i • ••• • • • • SO 'N • ••• • SOO 1 • 1•IN1•M•• •. •• • • •8 q i•�•i .iii� i • :� •• ��i •.%0 • • • I I Liberty • • ••••• • Lake MM•r•• • •• �•0•110 ••• • ••1 • .. • • • • • • ••••• •� _ N-N M• • • • •i • ••••••• •'•.� •~-,.z• e•••as ,,, :•0 •• • •• .•• • • t * • '-'a::A •• •rem,e40N •• • if •__' '••ti t _ •; Ii •i •••i • M• . • • • • • • • iIL Ill • •• 3• •••• • . . • i• • • • , il• • •10 ,,,s..,. ........•5„,„:1 , e• $: • • • • • • COMPANY N• • • • • • • Avistat • •�•• • • Inland •• • \\N Modern • s7,.......

This program will not increase the rates. Over time the rates may be reduced based on the lower electricity use and maintenance. Replacement in Spokane Valley is projected to start in 2017. • Modern Electric and Power: Considering a LED Streetlight Pilot Project. Small project of 8 lights of various sized and controls to determine which style, size and control type will be best to use in the future. 8 LED Conversion Programs by Utilities Vera Water and Power: No current program for LED street lights. • Inland Power and Light: No current program for LED street lights. 9 Conclusion • City maintained lights will be updated to LED when feasible. When replacing HPS lights, the entire corridor or intersection must be done at the same time. It is not recommended to mix LED and HPS lights. • We currently do not have money in the budget for LED conversions of City maintained lights. • Ongoing coordination with PW staff and the utilities will continue. 10 DRAFT ADVANCE AGENDA For Planning Discussion Purposes Only as of August 27,2015; 8:30 a.m. Please note this is a work in progress; items are tentative To: Council& Staff From: City Clerk,by direction of City Manager Re: Draft Schedule for Upcoming Council Meetings September 8,2015,Formal Meeting Format,6:00 p.m. [due Mon,Aug 31] 1.
