ROLL CALL: City Clerk Bainbridge called the roll; all Councilmembers were present.
1. Council Budget Goals, Capital Reserves, Fund #312 — Mike Jackson
City Manager Jackson explained that due to time constraints, there were a few agenda items that were not
discussed during the June budget workshop, and one of those was Council goals and projects; and in
anticipation of the September 8 presentation of the preliminary budget, Mr. Jackson said this would be a
good opportunity to talk about the capital budget as well as possible Council goals; said no final decision
is needed tonight as we can do that as we work through the budget; and that this is an opportunity to
discuss goals and where Council would like us to put our resources and efforts for the 2016 budget,
adding that goals are important in directing staffs attention to resources.
Mr. Jackson brought Council's attention to the chart in the spreadsheet (and also as a slide) showing the
Capital Reserve Fund #312, which is funded through the ending fund balance; said that 2012 was the
highpoint for the ending fund balance with $28 million, or about 83% of the general fund budget that
year; in 2011 Council started to re -direct some of those funds mostly for street preservation and STEP
(septic tank elimination program) projects where the City decided to do full -width paving, which he said
was a good decision instead of just doing a patch. Mr. Jackson said that during the year 2012, we took $2
million for pavement preservation and activated that program through the ending fund balance; we also
purchased the SmartGov permitting software. As a result of among other things not fully spending
everything allocated in the year, Mr. Jackson explained that our 2012 revenues were exceeding the
expenditures and as a result we transferred another $1.7 million from the general fund to fund 312 this
year and as we look ahead to next year, anticipate being able to transfer another $1.4 million; but said that
after next year we cannot predict that ending fund balance will grow or funds will be added to it; said the
system is not designed to generate additional ending fund balance, and when that happens, we have either
overestimated our revenues which is not as likely, or more likely is as a result of departments not
spending all the money in their budget, which he said proves that this is a budget and not a spending plan.
Mr. Jackson further explained that the big change came about in 2013 when $7.8 million was transferred
from the ending fund balance to the capital reserve fund, and with that Council determined to maintain the
ending fund balance at 50%, thereby enabling us to use those other funds right away in the community.

He explained that in 2014, we transferred $2.8 million: $2.4 million to capital reserve, the bulk of the
remainder to the Old Mission Trailhead, and some to the solid waste program to help get our own
program running; and although SCRAPS later reimbursed us, at that time we also installed fiber services
for SCRAPS.
Mr. Jackson went over the Capital Projects spreadsheet with the listed projects, some of which for
historical purposes are shown crossed off as completed. The new projects proposed as shown on the left,
he explained include a City Hall contingency which he said he based on $14.4 million, which includes a
combination of cash on hand that we are willing to contribute to that project, plus an amount approximate
to what we are spending on the lease for our current building. Concerning the new building design, he
said we started becoming a little skeptical if we could build the basic city hall; said it is a fairly basic
building, but we are recommending setting aside enough money until all the decisions have been made so
we have enough to cover any unforeseen costs. For the Pines Road underpass of $17.5 million, Mr.
Jackson said we are setting aside $500,000 to consider the land acquisition right-of-way and are confident
that amount will cover the cost. The topic of railroad quiet zones recently came back up and Mr. Jackson
said we are proposing $85,000 to cover that study, which he said was the amount estimated about three
years ago.
Mr. Jackson also went over the fund and grant figures connected with Appleway Trail, and said we have
estimated $8.2 million needed to complete the trail; said he is optimistic about completing the portion
from Balfour Park to University, and should know more in a few weeks; said some budget sections have
more than needed and other have less than needed, so we will work with grantors to spread the money out
for the trail completion University to Pines. Going back to slide 2 "Capital Reserve Fund #312" uses, he
mentioned the committed cash for city hall contingency of $360,437; an additional $1.1 million to add to
the bond measure if necessary, and said he'd like to get a sense of what Council feels about these
priorities and the funds committed; said we have secured grants for some projects and are optimistic with
our projections adding that it doesn't leave a lot to move around and if we are not successful with the
TIGER grant, that would eventually free up that $700,000.
Mr. Jackson said that we are a couple weeks from bringing Council the proposed plans for City Hall; and
we can talk about if there are ways to reduce the cost in the building design; said there are not a lot of
frills on the building; we are trying to have the building that citizens told us they want, plus building a
little additional space, which could be reduced if desired or needed; said having our own City Hall brings
with it additional costs for building operation and maintenance and that is already built into the budget;
and said we have set aside funds to cover the bond payments while we are still leasing our current facility.
Mr. Jackson said the $360,000 contingency for construction is the cash contribution part of that $1.5
million; and said one of the things being considered is a basement, which adds to the cost of the building;
he said we are just trying to make sure we have it covered if that is the desired direction to take. There
was some discussion about the idea of $360,000 cash versus adding it to the bond amount with some
Councilmembers preferring to use as much cash as possible. The question of REET (real estate excise
tax) funds also came up, and Mr. Jackson explained that we could use REET funds, but part of what's
happening is this is the last year we have civic facilities dollars for preservation; that we'll shift that load
to the REET funds, but the big unknown is what road projects will come up in the future, so the idea is to
set those REET funds aside and let them grow. Mr. Jackson added that we can maintain the preservation
fund through about 2023; and could look harder at the REET funds if that is Council's preference. Mayor
Grafos said he is looking for a number for the city hall; and instead of using the $360,000 for a city hall
contingency, to perhaps put those funds to work on a couple small projects, like bus pads for the bus
shelter since there is no funding for that; and to perhaps purchase about five of those pads; and said
maybe we could set aside $50,000 a year to do some of those pads, and suggested working directly with
STA (Spokane Transit Authority); and said if we had a source of funding, we could start to do about three
to five pads a year. Councilmember Pace agreed he would like to talk about some of the smaller projects,
Council Study Session: 08-18-2015 Page 2 of 6

that bus pads are good but to perhaps include Browns Park, and suggested getting a list of possibilities so
Council can determine what would be the best "bang for our buck." Mayor Grafos added that we are
always getting calls for sidewalk projects. Councilmember Hafner asked why the amount of $360,000;
and if we use that for smaller projects, that contingency will disappear and said he doesn't want to
jeopardize that amount.
Mr. Jackson explained that he is interested in how Council would like to spend that amount; said we have
fixed a budget for city hall based on cash we have to allocate to the project; said we have talked about a
full basement under the building, and if that is included, it adds about $1.2 or $1.3 million over the
amount budgeted; said we can build a building, we just have to agree on what to include; or we could
bond the entire amount but over the long term it is costly so we need to be cautious; said we know there'll
be additional money in this account, and we don't want to spend next year's money now. Mr. Jackson said
we have not had the discussion about including a basement. Councilmember Hafner said since this is a
preliminary discussion, there might be other things that come forward, and he doesn't want to make
decisions that might affect the complete city hall. Deputy Mayor Woodard expressed concern with a very
loose estimate of $14.4 million which is now at $16 million with the contingency, and adding a basement
adds another million, and said we are quickly getting to that $20 million that everyone thought they
wanted to spend on a city hall ten years ago; said he knows this is all preliminary and a "place holder"
until we get more information, but said he is not happy with the creep in the cost. Mr. Jackson said there
has not been any cost creep at this point. Deputy Mayor Woodard also said he does not like financing the
contingency and he asked if there were other options for the bond. Mr. Jackson replied that it might not be
best to break that down into two issues; said we will have a much closer number before we approve it and
that for tonight, he just wanted to tell Council what we are hearing; he said we are coming in very close to
the original square footage; that he would be happy to look at bus shelters and other projects and when the
budget is brought back, Council can make changes. He asked if there were any other suggestions.
Councilmember Pace said we should set the budget, build to that, and aim for the lower end, not the
middle or higher; and mentioned that the smaller projects could contribute to economic development.
Councilmember Hafner said we all know that it is possible for bids to come in higher than anticipated so
we might need to make adjustments, and said we need to look at it all; that we need a safeguard as there
are too many times where things changed and there was no safeguard thereby forcing us to use money
from the general fund, and said he does not want us in that position. Councilmember Higgins said he feels
we are getting a little head of ourselves; that we don't have a firm target, and that this issue can be
differed for a while, which he said is what Mr. Jackson is suggesting, to see what the architects bring in,
and move from there. Concerning smaller projects, Councilmember Gothmann said if there is an
opportunity to apply funds to those, than that's fine and if mid -year we decide not to build those projects,
we don't have to put that in a budget and said the planning starts with the budget. Mr. Jackson agreed.
Councilmember Wick agreed with leaving funds committed to the Barker Grade Separation project.
After review of Council's 2015 goals, Mr. Jackson asked if Council had any goal ideas for 2016; said we
are in August but have made great progress on those goals; said we participated in over fifteen legislative
meetings, including local, state, and two trips to Washington, D.C.; that we have made some in -roads and
even the discussion yesterday was an extension of those conversations, and said we have received and
given more attention at the federal level, and the legislators can see we have increased our involvement
and we have some degree of attention at all levels, particularly for the Barker project. Mr. Jackson said
that lobbyist Ms. Briahna Taylor will be here next week to give us an update. Concerning Bridging the
Valley, he said staff continues to work on a retail strategy to bring to Council. Mr. Jackson said a
discussion was held yesterday for a second draft for a tourism study for Spokane Valley, which study
would be a base -level study to look at current attractions and examine what is and isn't working to bring
people here, to look for deficits and come up with recommendations of facilities or programs; that next
week he hopes to discuss that scope of work. Mr. Jackson added that we have been working on the comp

plan and have seen some setbacks because of the population projections needed from the County, and said
those projections are likely to be finalized close to the end of the year; he said community development
has been working on all aspects of the comp plan while they are waiting for those population projections.
Concerning the street preservation program, Mr. Jackson said the goal is to pursue the sustainability plan
and we have been able to do that mostly because of the public work's grants, which enables us to maintain
the current level of spending to the year 2023. He said if we wanted to, we could get a little more
aggressive in spending as availability and capacity become available. Mr. Jackson also mentioned the
public safety goal to evaluate and discuss costs, and he mentioned the power shift concept which has been
implemented and been very successful; plus we added two police officers, and are working in connection
with the CAD system, as well as the supported addition of that analysis for the Valley precinct, with
sharing the cost equally between us and the sheriffs office; and that with the new more powerful system
and analysis capacity we can direct resources to the police department which will create the greatest
benefit; and that we continue to look for ways to measure and monitor performance. Mr. Jackson asked if
Council has other goals in mind and that they should feel free to e-mail him with ideas; and at some point
we will bring the topic back for further discussion, and adopt the goals with the adoption of the final
budget. Councilmember Gothmann asked about corridor consolidation and said based on the meeting
yesterday with BNSF (Burlington Northern Sante Fe) Railroad, he feels that is not a realistic goal. Mr.
Jackson said he leaves that to the decision makers. Councilmember Wick said he feels we are talking to
the wrong person on the corridor consolidation, and if we take it off our goals, no one will ever pursue it;
he feels we need to talk to Johan Hellman's leadership in Fort Worth Texas. Deputy Mayor Woodard
suggested probing even deeper by going go the Federal Railroad Administration; said we need to continue
to work with the state and federal legislators to get them to see the wisdom in consolidating. Several
Councilmembers suggested keeping that goal as a goal for the next year. Councilmember Wick asked
about sewering the Barker Area as a goal, or perhaps just include it under the economic development
efforts. Mr. Jackson said we can do that; that conversations continue with the feds regarding economic
development; that there are some public works grants available to qualifying communities, but those
communities must be economically disadvantaged, and he said we don't meet that category; but that we
will continue looking for revenue sources; and said the goal can remain as it is, or broadened to include
infrastructure to support economic development. Councilmember Pace suggested looking at the bigger
picture of what infrastructure is needed, and adding to the legislative agenda to pursue changes that would
make our area of Washington State more competitive with Idaho when it comes to attracting businesses,
with such things as the B&O tax; and Councilmember Wick commented we need more tools for business
recruitment. Mr. Jackson asked Council to let him know if they get additional goal ideas.
2. Local Improvement District (LID) — Erik Lamb
Deputy City Attorney Lamb explained that as part of past discussions about economic development and
incentive tools, Council requested more information concerning LIDS, and asked about putting together a
case study as they relate to local neighborhoods, and said as a result, tonight's discussion focuses on the
LID as a potential tool citizens could initiate through a petition process. Through his PowerPoint
presentation, Mr. Lamb explained that LIDS are solely a fmancing tool, used to finance a variety of public
improvements through a special assessment on those properties; he explained the benefits and purposes of
LIDS, as well as the petition and appeal process. Mr. Lamb explained that the County uses an LID for
development of County Roads, they consolidate them, do all the construction and take the total cost into
one bond issue, which lowers the cost, adding that they have a couple engineers who handle these.
There was some discussion about citizen -initiated petitions and city -initiated; that the methods of
assessment are flexible and range from the traditional method with designation by square foot, or
assessments based upon frontage or lot size. Mayor Grafos asked if we could identify a project and come
up with a cost, then approach property owners and determine the cost, and said doing such a project could
enhance economic development, and perhaps we could even put some of those projects together. Mr.
Council Study Session: 08-18-2015 Page 4 of 6

Lamb responded that the key would be approaching property owners and working with them in advance
and to also determine where it would be appropriate to draw the LID area. Mayor Grafos mentioned
railroad crossings or even quiet zones and Mr. Lamb said doing such a large-scale project would be a
little different from sidewalks as noise issues would travel beyond the initial front line of property, but all
those considered, it would lower the individual cost. When asked about how long the process generally
takes, Mr. Lamb said some LID processes could take about two and one-half years, although it could
move quicker depending on the nature of the improvements; but said it is a lengthy process; and said that
Spokane County does this on a regular basis. Councilmember Gothmann said since we are a contract city,
perhaps we could contract with the County.
Mayor Grafos called for a recess at 7:25 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:35 p.m.
3. Marijuana Regulations — Erik Lamb
As noted in his Request for Council Action form, Deputy City Attorney Lamb went over the history and
background leading up to Council's adoption of a moratorium on unlicensed marijuana uses; said we
wanted to wait until the end of the 2015 legislative session before working on regulations which will
ultimately be taken through the Planning Commission, including a public hearing, and then to Council for
ordinance adoption consideration. Mr. Lamb said that before that process is formalized, he wanted to
present Council with some proposals for regulations. Mr. Lamb explained that we will rely on our
existing regulations as they are solely related to recreational and not medical marijuana; said staff
recommends no changes to the zoning or buffering other than to make it clear the regulations would apply
to retail shops with the medical marijuana endorsement; said staff doesn't feel there is a need to modify
that as the number of retail stores with medical is not set by state law; said the amount will increase to
take into consideration the medical market, but we won't know those numbers until after we adopt our
regulations; adding that we want our rules in place before the state rules are effective so we can respond
to people who want licenses.
Mr. Lamb explained that the new state law will eliminate collective gardens but allow cooperatives, and
that the only place where cooperatives are allowed is in a domicile, and that the limit is 60 plants. Mr.
Lamb said we don't think 60 plants is appropriate, adding that the City of Spokane and Spokane County
allow license shops so we feel there isn't a lack of access to marijuana. Senior Plans Examiner Nickerson
explained that space requirements allow for 15 feet for each plant at full maturity, and said 60 plants
would overwhelm the traditional garage. Mr. Lamb said staff recommends prohibiting cooperatives
within city residential areas, as patients could still grow up to fifteen plants per unit; and said such
growing is recommended to be done in a greenhouse, shop or other enclosed structure, and that such
structure be opaque and site -screened from the right-of-way; said staff further recommends that the City
require qualified patients and designated providers to work with the City to ensure receipt of proper
building permits for any structures that are constructed or modifications that are made to a residence, such
as electrical or ventilation modifications; said this could take the form of a license or a requirement placed
in the City Code. Mr. Lamb said staff is working on the details and plans to take these issues to the
Planning Commission in September, hold a public hearing, and bring the issue back to Council. There
was some Council discussion about limiting the number of stores or qualified in-home grows, and Mr.
Lamb said there is no specific requirement that designates we have a set amount of retail stores, but said
he anticipates a rule change coming as the law requires that the Board license sufficient shops to account
for the medical market, so we would be required to take in any new retail stores; said he doesn't foresee at
this time, banning anything new but allow the three shops to continue. Mr. Lamb said it is anticipated that
the Liquor and Cannabis Board will have their rule making effective January 1, 2016 in order to be able to
start licensing new retail stores for medical marijuana endorsement; said we could not set the number of
stores as that is something the state has done. Mr. Lamb also commented that the Liquor and Cannabis
Board will have public comment as part of their rule making, so we can submit comments. City Manager
Jackson asked Council to think about what they would direct the Planning Commission to consider; said
Council Study Session: 08-18-2015 Page 5 of 6
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
the new law is more lenient on proximity to parks and schools and our regulations limit the potential
locations for additional shops, so that would be one way to handle the situation. Mr. Lamb said we have
not done an analysis of all the additional spaces one might use for marijuana, but that trying to find
locations for shops is fairly restrictive, both from our laws and from trying to get a lease from landowners.
Mr. Lamb noted the City would be getting revenue from the retail shops but not if we have a ban on retail
and if we limit any new shops, that would be an effective ban. Councilmember Wick asked about buffers
between shops, and Deputy Mayor Woodard asked about having one zone designed for marijuana, such
as zones where liquor stores are permitted. It was determined that this process will proceed to the
Planning Commission, and that staff will look at other alternatives an options to restrict license use as
well as in-home use.
4. Advance Agenda — Mayor Grafos
Councilmember Wick distributed copies of a letter addressed to Robin Toth of Greater Spokane
Incorporated from Maul Foster Alongi concerning supporting consideration of creating a Port Authority
in Spokane County, and whether we want to participate in the cost of a study. Councilmember Wick said
the idea is to examine tools and opportunities to be more competitive with our Idaho partners and to see
what a port district could do, or if a port district is even feasible; said the idea is to hire a consultant to
gather data, and we are being asked to contribute a share of the cost for approximately $7,500 plus our
share of the consultant's expenses. Council agreed to bring this item forward at next week's council
meeting, thereby giving each Councilmember the opportunity to read the information contained in the
letter from Maul Foster Alongi.
5. Information Only: The (a) Bus Shelter Pads, and (b) Citywide Safety Project #0167 were for
information only and were not discussed or reported.
6. Council Comments — Mayor Grafos There were no additional Council comments.
7. City Manager Comments — Mike Jackson
Mr. Jackson said that staff is preparing to present a scope of work for tourism study at next week's
meeting, and part of that topic would be how to form the committee to agree on study content. Mr.
Jackson also mentioned the upcoming September 11 Council of Governments meeting and said that
Commissioner O'Quinn asked him if we have a topic we would like to include on the agenda, and he
suggested having Mr. Lamb present a talk on the new marijuana legislation. Councilmembers agreed.
Councilmember Hafner asked if the Mayor would be willing to provide the state of the city report that he
gave to GSI so everyone would be aware of what we are doing, and Mayor Grafos agreed.
Councilmember Gothmann asked about including the GSI information about a port district, and
Councilmember Wick said he would talk to the County about this topic.
8. Executive Session: Pending/Potential Litigation [RCW 42.30.110(1)(i)1
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to adjourn into executive session for
approximately thirty minutes to discuss potential litigation, and that no action will be taken upon return
to open session. Council adjourned into executive session at approximately 8:13 p.m. At approximately
8:48 p.m. Mayor Grafos declared Council out of executive session, and immediately thereafter, it was
moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn.

1. PUBLIC HEARING: 2016 Budget Revenues, including Property Taxes — Chelsie Taylor
Mayor Grafos opened the public hearing at 6:21 p.m. Ms. Taylor explained the background of the budget
process so far as noted on her Request for Council Action form, and said that this is a prelude to the City
Manager's preliminary budget presentation scheduled for September 8; she mentioned the budget
worksheets reflect a work in progress and that Council can expect future changes, such as adding funding
for the 2015 comprehensive plan process, and transferring reimbursement in 2013 and 2014 from the
solid waste fund to the general fund. Concerning the general fund, Ms. Taylor explained we expect an
increase in total recurring revenues for 2016, that all revenues are estimated, and our largest sources are
sales tax and property tax, adding that we have not heard from Spokane County on the actual amount of
property tax. Ms. Taylor went over the general fund revenues and expenditures, and briefly explained
some of the other funds, such as motor vehicle fuel tax revenue, telephone tax, real estate excise tax,
hotel/motel tax revenues, stormwater management fees, and aquifer protection area fees. Mayor Grafos
invited public comment; no comments were offered. Deputy Mayor Woodard said the total budget
appears to be increasing 2.56% and he would like to see that closer to the 1%; said he is not sure how to
get there except to direct staff to get there and they would have to get there; and Councilmember Pace
agreed. Councilmember Hafner said he would like to see what would have to be cut, adding that we will
likely have some serious problems with road preservation in 2018. Mayor Grafos closed the public
hearing at 6:35 p.m.

3. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 15-015 Adopting Mining Findings of Fact — Erik Lamb
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and
seconded to approve Ordinance 15-015 adopting findings of fact justifying the adoption of Ordinance No.
15-013 and its establishment of the moratorium on mining and mineral product manufacturing and repeal
of Ordinance Nos. 15-005 and 15-009. Deputy City Lamb explained that tonight Council is considering
adoption of the Findings of Fact justifying the adoption of the moratorium ordinance; he mentioned that
the moratorium allows a temporary pause on potential new mining uses to allow the City to take time to
develop a reasoned approach in developing mining regulations; that this is a temporary measure and does
not impact current lawful mining operations; adding that to date, no applications have been received. Mr.
Lamb stressed that this is not a permanent ban on mining as suggested by some of the public comments;
that the law states that it must be temporary; said the only action regarding mining has been to move
forward a citizen action request specific to considering a mining resource chapter as part of the comp plan
update process. In response to Councilmember Hafner's question about the timing for the comp plan
update, Mr. Lamb responded by stating that staff is working on the comp plan update, but there has been
some delay because of the population allocation figures and that we can't come to any final conclusion on
the update yet. Mr. Jackson added that that is an area staff is currently addressing and moving forward,
and that Community and Economic Development is working on a schedule and will bring that forward as
soon as possible. Mayor Grafos invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by
Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
4. Motion Consideration: Bid Award, Citywide Safety Project #0167 - Steve Worley
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to award the Citywide Safety Project #0167 to
Cameron -Reilly, LLC in the amount of $161,720 and authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute
the construction contract. Mr. Guth explained that the bid opening was held last Friday and two bids were
received, with Cameron -Reilly having the lower bid, which he said was about $30,000 under the
engineer's estimate. Mayor Grafos invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by
Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
5. Mayoral Appointment: Lodging Tax Committee Member — Mayor Grafos
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to confirm the Mayor's recommended
appointment of Charles Stocker to the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee for a term beginning
immediately upon appointment and expiring December 31, 2015. Mayor Grafos invited public comment;
no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
Mayor Grafos thanked everyone who applied.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Grafos invited public comments; no comments were offered.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
6. Legislative Update — Briahna Taylor and Alex Soldano
In her end -of -session report, Ms. Taylor remarked that the outcome of Council's efforts on the legislative
front was positive and resulted with a successful session, with Appleway Trail funded, protecting the
state/local shared revenues funded, and the medical recreational marijuana reconciliation passed with
vaping lounges prohibited, which she said was a direct result of this Council's efforts. Concerning our
City's nuisance abatement legislation, Ms. Taylor said she remains hopeful as the proposed legislation
will still be alive at the beginning of the session, and she recommended giving a strong effort to get this
passed. Ms. Taylor also encouraged Council to continue to push forward for the Barker/Trent grade
separation. Ms. Taylor noted that the court is fming the state $100,000 a day due to the state's failure to
meet the state mandate for school budgeting and said she feels if an agreement can't be reached, a short
session would likely be called; she said an agreement seems unlikely and at least one representative wants
to challenge the court in fining the state. Ms. Taylor highlighted her written report, which was included in
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 08-25-2015 Page 3 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
the Council's packet materials. Ms. Taylor said that Council's increased participation in Olympia paid off;
said she is open to any other ideas the Council might want to address, and in response, Councilmember
Pace expressed his disappointment in the legislature raising the gas tax, and suggested lobbying the
legislature to implement some legislation that makes, especially this part of Washington state, more
competitive with northern Idaho so far as recruiting businesses. Mayor Grafos and Council extended their
thanks to Ms. Taylor and to Mr. Soldano as well (who was unable to attend tonight), for their efforts.
Mayor Grafos called for a recess at 7:10 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at 7:23 p.m.
7. Proposed Tourism Study — John Hohman
Community and Economic Development Director Hohman said he would like Council to consider giving
consensus for a proposed tourism study; said the study would examine key drivers of tourism in our City
and indicate whether there are any deficits in tourism offerings and associated revenues in our City; what
the current drivers of hotel revenues are and what is the City's role in fostering tourism; and what
investments and strategies could the City undertake to improve tourism, along with what impact would
that have on visitor attraction. As noted on his Request for Council Action, Mr. Hohman said we would
like a better understanding of the success of tourism efforts in our City; and noted the Community
Attributes, Inc.'s Approach and Scope; said this study would be accomplished through three phases: (1)
existing conditions and preparing a strategy for moving forward and work for developing a strategy for
what are the areas where we could spend money; (2) coming to the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
and funds supported by hoteliers, to look at funds to move; and (3) doing a performa on each item to
make sure it is something viable and something which will bring the expected results; he said today they
are taking the initial look of what's happening and what is missing. Councilmember Pace said he feels this
is an exciting opportunity and money well -spent, that he feels this is on the right track and we could
become America's shopping center or even bedroom community, which he said includes temporary and
permanent stays; said he does not want a permanent committee but a committee to be as inclusive as
possible for business owners/operators. Councilmember Gothmann said he would not agree with
interviewing people who are not hoteliers; said he likes the public comment tonight about having a zoo;
other ideas would be a bluegrass festival; suggests making the idea more broad. Mr. Hohman said page
two shows of the packet materials shows a broader category; agrees with the comments and feels they
lead justification for moving forward. Mayor Grafos said he also favors the study and would like the
comments brought back before Council of what the vision statement was from the comp plan meeting at
CenterPlace; said there were a lot of comments about the arts; agrees with having the experts conduct the
study and see how it ties to what citizens said about six months ago. Councilmember Pace suggested staff
contact the Valley Chamber to get the information concerning the Chamber's results of the "Big Five"
project. Council concurred to move forward with the study. Mr. Basinger said that there was some
mention of the comp plan and how we are going to integrate all these efforts into a retail plan for tourism;
said those issues would be built into and be a part of the long-range vision and will give the comp plan the
vision we need. Mr. Jackson said he assumes Council will trust staff to select a committee and put this
together, and Council concurred.
8. Port Districts — John Hohman
Mr. Steve Stevens, CEO of Greater Spokane, Inc., (GSI) said tonight he wanted to share a 101 -level
discussion about port districts, to help everyone understand that this is a tool for job expansion and
growing the economy; said we are limited in the tools we have to bring businesses here; that as a part of a
competitive study, consultants compared us with other communities and we "came up short" in a few
areas: said we got a "D" in the area of business climate like B&O taxes, and a "D" in the area of real
estate; said part of the problem is there is plenty of land in our area but it is not ready for development,
and that it cost a lot for a business to come in and put in infrastructure; he said a port district is one of
those mechanisms that could be used to enhance economic development; and said most other
communities within the state have already figured out that a port district is a good tool. After Mr. Stevens
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 08-25-2015 Page 4 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
quickly went through his PowerPoint presentation explaining what ports can do, how they are formed,
where the revenues can come from, the commission -style make-up, and why should this be considered
now, Councilmember Pace said we already have numerous governments so this would be another
government; and that neither of the last elections for a sales tax for the bus, nor increased tax for the
library, passed. Councilmember Pace also stated that the commissioner format looks like a "gravy"
opportunity and that he feels Council should not support this study or a port district.
Councilmember Wick explained that a port district can't set regulations like a city or county, that they
would be more focused on economic development; said we haven't explored what the future could hold
for us as this is a very early discussion; said having a port district doesn't mean a port can't be a granting
agency; rather he said he sees this as a partnership opportunity to use funds for economic growth, and that
GSI is asking whether our Council wants to support a study to answer some of these questions, and if so,
our portion of the study cost would be $7,500; that he feels it is a worthwhile endeavor in order to make
decisions about whether to pursue a port district or not. Deputy Mayor Woodard asked if this would be a
countywide endeavor and Mr. Stevens said the district could be specified for just a few communities, but
that he feels it makes more sense for the whole county to be included. Councilmember Higgins said late
last year the Chamber had a presentation on this and that to his recollection, port districts were not seen as
something favorable, adding that he has the impression that Moses Lake wishes they could get out of it;
he questioned why a port authority would issue grants from funds that are already ours; so they would tax
us and then give us grants. Councilmember Pace added that it also appears that port districts can raise
taxes higher than a city government. Councilmember Hafner said in order to get answers to Council's
questions, he feel the $7500 study is worthwhile. After further discussion, Mr. Jackson asked if Council
was comfortable in considering a consensus tonight, or would prefer to bring this back for a motion at a
future meeting; and it was agreed to ask for a consensus concerning helping fund the study. A poll of
Councilmembers found Deputy Mayor Woodard, and Councilmembers Pace and Higgins opposed to
fmancially participating ($7500) in the study; and Mayor Grafos, and Councilmembers Hafner, Gothmann
and Wick in favor of Council's financial participation ($7500) in the study; therefore, our City will pay
$7500 as our share of the study.

ROLL CALL: City Clerk Bainbridge called the roll; all Councilmembers were present.
1. Outside Agencies Presentations — Chelsie Taylor
After Finance Director Taylor gave an overview of the process for Outside Agency funding, the following
organizations gave a brief presentation in response to our call for Outside Agency Funding: A. Economic
Development Agencies: (1) Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce; (2) Spokane Valley Arts
Council; (3) Spokane Valley Heritage Museum; and (4) Valleyfest. B. Social Services Agencies: (a) Arc
of Spokane; (b) Big Brothers and Sisters of the Inland NW; (c) Children's Home Society of Washington;
(d) East Central Community Center; (e) Goodwill Industries of the Inland NW; (f) Greater Spokane

presentation, Ms. Taylor reminded Council to please return their funding recommendations to her by
Friday, September 11, in order to have ample time to incorporate everything into the Council packet for
the September 22 Council meeting.
2. Property Tax — Chelsie Taylor
Finance Director Taylor briefed Council concerning the proposed ordinance levying 2016 regular
property taxes; she explained the estimated rate per $1,000 of assessed value, noted we have not received
final figures from the County Assessor's office, and said that once those figures are received, rates could
change; she explained the idea of "banked capacity" and noted that the passage of this ordinance, which
does not levy the 1% increase in property tax allowed by State law, does account for revenues resulting
from new construction, and that the ordinance is required as per state law.
3. LED Lights — Eric Guth, Sean Messner
In response to Council's previous inquiry of staff about what, if anything, is being done regarding
installation of light emitting diodes (LED) street lights within the City, Director Guth explained that
currently the majority of street lights are high pressure sodium lists, which are about 100 or 200 watt
Council Study Session: 09-01-2015 Page 1 of 2
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
bulbs and not very energy efficient. Mr. Guth said that staff asked the four major electric utilitiy
companies about their plans for replacing the streetlights with LED fixtures, and discovered that each
company has a different approach for replacing those inefficient fixtures. Mr. Guth went over the current
inventory and conditions of the city's 2300 streetlights, explained the differences between and advantages
and disadvantages of the LED and a High Pressure Sodium light; and explained the conversion programs
of the utility companies. Mr. Guth said there are no funds budgeted for a light conversion so the City's
maintained lights would be updated to LED when feasible. Mr. Guth also noted it is not recommended to
mix LED and HPS lights. There was some discussion about utility company construction and upgrading
to LED lights, with Mr. Messner stating that we used the LED lights for the Appleway Trail; that they are
good fixtures and in terms of lifespan, rank up with the top of the line although priced substantially lower.
Mayor Grafos asked if we could influence Avista concerning where they might start the conversion, and
Mr. Guth said he had not broached the subject with Avista, or knows if they have solidified their plans,
but that Avista let us know that when they change a light to LED, there is no additional charge for the
streetlight.
4. Advance Agenda — Mayor Grafos
Councilmember Gothmann asked to bring back the topic of bike helmets to see how the present Council
feels about the topic.
5. Council Comments — Mayor Grafos
Councilmember Gothmann suggested a change in the method of allocating funds for outside agencies
when it comes to the "remainder" of the fees, and said it should be proportional instead of simply splitting
the amount evenly. Councilmember Wick said he is not opposed to having that discussion, but when it
comes to looking at the dollar amount involved, it is almost "splitting hairs" at that point.
6. City Manager Comments — Mike Jackson
City Manager Jackson said staff is working to make our website completely mobilized to make it easier
for smart phones, said there are funds in the budget and we intend to have that completed by the end of
the year. Mr. Jackson noted that Human Resources Manager Whitehead is working on renovating our
website for a less cluttered home page and that we should have examples later as that develops. Mr.
Jackson mentioned that he has a copy of a draft interlocal agreement concerning us participating with
Spokane County, Liberty Lake and others to conduct a study and performa on two potential sports
projects or facilities; i.e. Plantes Ferry Stadium, and Liberty Lake Regional Sports Complex; said the
intent is to have the document reviewed by staff, discuss the issue with the County, and get some basic
information about how we want such an interlocal structured. Mr. Jackson said more information would
come to Council at a future Council meeting.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting

Maintain basic service levels with modest
increases.
Minimize Personnel cost/overhead by
continuing to contract for many services.
Continue the 6 -Year Business Plan Process.
Spokan� y FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
jValley
Leverage City funds with grant opportunities.
5) Minimize City Debt with a pay as you go
philosophy.
Strive to prioritize spending in the annual budget
process and minimize mid -year addition of projects
and appropriations.
The State of Washington sets the maximum level of allowable debt based on assessed value of property. The
City of Spokane Valley currently utilizes only 1 .20% of its total allowable debt capacity, and more importantly,
only 6.02% of non -voted bond capacity.

jValley FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES
1) Maintain a minimum General Fund Ending Balance of
50% of total recurring expenditures.
6 months of general fund operations
?) If necessary, utilize the Service Level Stabilization fund
($5.5 million) to maintain ending fund balance
minimum.
3) Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund will not reduce
below $3.27 million (60% of $5.5 million).
4) Property Tax assessment will increase by new
construction in 2016. (Approximately $200,000; City
will not take 7% property tax increase)
5) Grow our economy so our existing tax base can support
our basic programs.

City Manager's Budget Message
2016 Annual Budget
Dear Citizens, Mayor and City Council of Spokane Valley:
Sound Financial Position
It is with great pleasure that I present the attached 2016 proposed budget for the City of Spokane
Valley. The City of Spokane Valley remains financially strong and continues to benefit from a
history of prudent financial decisions since our 2003 incorporation. Responsible budgeting and
restrained spending has helped us achieve key Fiscal Policies and maintain an ending General
Fund Balance equivalent to six -months of general fund operations.
The City of Spokane Valley is unique in many of its financial policies and a great example of
how a City provides key services to the community while holding down taxes, fees and other
charges. Our per capita employee count and personnel expenses are among the lowest (if not the
lowest) of comparable size cities in the state and around the U.S.
The City's top two budget priorities are law enforcement and road maintenance, in that order. To
ensure continued financial stability, it is imperative the City's recurring annual expenses remain
in -check. We must continue to limit recurring expenditures at levels less than or equal to our
annual revenues.
Beyond recurring operating activity however, due to our excellent financial condition, we are
afforded the opportunity to use the portion of the General Fund balance that exceeds 50% for
nonrecurring expenditure in pursuit of programs important to the City Council and community.
Recent examples include General Fund contributions to the Appleway Trail (University to Pines
Rd.) Sullivan Road West Bridge Replacement project, the Appleway road landscaping and a
cash "down payment" for construction of a new City Hall.
1
Pavement Preservation
Beginning in 2012, the City initiated spending of general fund, special revenue fund and capital
project fund revenues and reserves for the purpose of aiding street preservation. In 2016, our
citizens will again see an aggressive program of repaving our roadways. Some may question
paving roads that "don't look so bad." The truth is the best time to repave is before a road
deteriorates to the point that full reconstruction is necessary. Full reconstruction can cost
substantially more than pavement preservation such as crack sealing or grinding and repaving.
This is why the City of Spokane Valley has committed critical financial resources to preservation
of our transportation infrastructure. We hope you are as proud of our fine road system as we are!
Fiscal Policies
The Fiscal Policies adopted by the City Council are important for the long-range fiscal strength
of Spokane Valley. These policies appropriately dictate if the economic conditions deteriorate,
future budget reductions may be triggered.
Financial Management — The City proposes to:
1. Maintain basic service levels with minimal resources to achieve success.
2. Minimize personnel costs/overhead by continuing to contract for many services.
3. Continue the six-year Business Plan process.
4. Leverage City funds with grant opportunities.
5. Minimize City debt with a pay as you go philosophy.
o The State of Washington sets the maximum level of allowable debt for
cities based on assessed value of property. The City of Spokane Valley
currently utilizes only 1.20% of its total debt capacity, and more
importantly, only 6.02% of non -voted bond capacity. This is extremely
low debt.
6. Strive to prioritize spending in the annual budget process and minimize mid -year
addition of projects and appropriations.
Financial Objectives - The City's financial objectives are:
1. Maintain a minimum General Fund Ending Balance of 50% of recurring
expenditures, which is the equivalent of six months of general fund operations.
2. If necessary, utilize the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund ($5.5 million) to
maintain ending fund balance minimum.
3. Commitment to the strategy the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund will not
reduce below $3.27 million (60% of $5.5 million).
4. Maintain the 2016 property tax assessment the same as 2015 with the exception of
new construction. As in the previous four years, the City will forego the 1% annual
increase allowable by RCW 84.52.050. We anticipate this will result in a levy of
$11,279,200 plus estimated new construction of $200,000 for a total levy of
$11,479,200. The 1% increase capacity will be banked for future use as provided by
2
law. This effectively makes the 7th year in a row that we have not increased our City
property tax assessment.
5. Grow our economy so the existing tax base can support basic programs.
Commitment — By committing to these policies and the checks and balance they afford, the City
will ensure financial sustainability well into the future.
2016 Budget Highlights
The 2016 Budget recognizes the economic realities of our times and the necessity to continue to
operate within our financial means.
City Hall Project: In 2015, the City made the decision to construct a new City Hall at a
cost currently projected at $14.4 million. Having rented a city hall since incorporation,
the fund balance had grown such that a cash "down payment" in the amount of $6.3
million is available for land purchase, design cost and a portion of construction cost. The
balance will be financed with a bond sale of approximately $8.1 million with 98.2% of
annual payments being funded through the existing lease payment for the rented city hall.
The remaining portion of the payment, along with the operation and maintenance cost of
owning our own city hall, will be a recurring cost of the City's general fund.
Pavement Preservation Fund: In the 2012 Budget, Council established the Pavement
Preservation Fund #311. For 2016, projected expenditures for preservation are
$2,156,051. There are not any grant funds anticipated for pavement preservation for
2016. Funding sources for pavement preservation consist of $943,800 that will be
transferred from the General Fund, $67,342 from the Street Fund, $559,786 from the
Civic Facilities Replacement Fund, $365,286 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund and
$365,286 from REET 2 Special Projects Fund. Most of these transfers are projected to be
sustainable for the foreseeable future. However, the transfer from the Civic Facilities
Replacement fund is not sustainable and is depleted at year end 2016. The total revenues
for street preservation are $2,301,500 which exceeds expenditures by $145,449. Because
of this, we currently are able to continue the funding of street preservation through at
least 2020. This will require us to adhere to the budget and continue to utilize grant funds
to bolster our own city transfers.
Moderate Growth in Current Operational Expenses/Budget Increase: Investing in the
essential core services identified by the Council and community establishes baseline
costs. Similar to the trend in most jurisdictions, costs and demands for service are
growing while tax revenues are decreasing. Quality service delivery requires ongoing
investment in basic capacity to yield efficient operations. Moderate as it may be,
recurring operational expenses have increased as reflected in the General Fund increase
of 2.70% for 2016.
Staffing Levels: Staffing levels for 2016 will increase slightly to 87.40 employees as
compared to 87.25 in 2015. Taking into consideration we contract for police services and
3
are served by Fire Districts and a Library District, for a major city we are operating
substantially below the normal employee count at a significantly reduced cost. Spokane
Valley personnel costs are approximately 20% of the total General Fund recurring
expenditures. Comparable cities and counties typically fund personnel costs at about 40%
of their General Fund Budget (after adjusting for police, fire and library personnel, of
which the City of Spokane Valley contracts as noted previously). Spokane Valley staff
levels average about one employee for every 1,068 citizens. Comparable cities' averages
are from one employee to every 160 citizens, to one employee for every 412 citizens.
While the survey is not scientific, the low comparable personnel costs coupled with the
low employee per citizen ratio indicates the City of Spokane Valley is operating at a low,
yet effective staffing level.
Since incorporation, the City has taken a conservative approach to adding new staff.
Spokane Valley continues to have the lowest employee count of any Washington city
with a population of 50,000 or greater. By all comparisons, the City of Spokane Valley is
a lean, productive City government.
Public Safety Costs: In 2016, the Police, Court and Jail related services proposed budget
is $24,703,749 —an amount equal to 215% of anticipated property tax collections
($11,479,200) for the entire year. Council has made a commitment not to reduce public
safety service levels and associated costs in 2016.
Challenges:
Railroad Grade Separation & Quiet Zone Projects: The City has been pursuing funding
for rail grade separation projects for the past several years. The wait for trains is a safety
and quality of life issue and impacts our local economy. Currently the City is pursuing a
federal TIGER VII grant for the Barker and Trent Road Overpass. Other projects
identified include Pines Road Underpass, Park Road Overpass and Sullivan Road
Overpass improvements. The total estimated cost of all four projects is over $83 million –
well beyond the scope of City financing but feasible over the long-term.
Pavement Preservation: Street Preservation needs must be balanced with other needs.
The 2016 Budget achieves this balance.
Grants and Declining Matching Funds: City staff actively pursues funding
commitments from other sources to help pay the cost of needed capital improvements—
roads, bridges, stormwater and parks that benefit the community. In 2016, a total of
$17,426,542 is budgeted for a range of capital projects of which $10,350,763 (59.4%) is
coming from outside grant sources.
When the City applies for state and federal grants, the City must provide its share (match)
for these projects. In the past, Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) was used for most of the
4
City match. In addition to capital construction, the City funds a portion of Pavement
Preservation from REET funds also.
During the past nine years, annual revenue from the REET tax declined from a high of
$2.5 million in 2007, declined to $960,000 during the worst of the recession to an
estimated $1.6 million in 2016. Depending on availability of Federal, State and Local
grants, which have been declining, the City may reach a point where we have to prioritize
preservation versus capital projects.
Local Street Maintenance Combination of Funding: This fund derives its revenues
from an allocation of the State Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax distributed to cities and towns,
and a 6% city utility tax on telephone usage estimated in 2016 at $2,004,900 and
$2,340,000 respectively. The combination of Fuel Tax and Telephone Utility Tax enables
us to meet the ongoing need for these funds to pay for critical street maintenance
activities such as snow plowing, pot hole repair, crack sealing, sweeping, weed control,
street lighting, traffic signals and a variety of other repairs/improvements. In 2016,
$67,342 will transfer to Pavement Preservation for more substantial repaving projects.
The Budget for 2016
Strong but Guarded. One of the most important tests of fiscal management is the ability of a
municipal enterprise to maintain basic services during an economic downturn. The creation and
maintenance of financial reserves since incorporation has served its intended purpose of
providing opportunity for Spokane Valley to sustain critical public services during turbulent
economic conditions that began in 2008 and from which we may or may not be emerging. The
2016 budget reflects a prudent and guarded increase in continuation of service delivery
capabilities. These increases are carefully considered and well within the means of the City.
Service delivery cannot grow faster than the economic development of the City.
Balanced Budget: Means exactly what it says - expenses have been balanced with known or
reasonably predictable revenues with no increase in property tax or in sales tax rates for the City
(lodging tax rates are generally not paid by residents). The budget is designed to maintain the
healthy, positive fund balance at year-end providing the City's cash flow needs without costly
borrowing. In pursuit of fiscal responsibility, special attention is given to limiting the growth in
new programs and financial commitments. This approach allows available resources to be put
toward sustaining services consistent with the City Council's priorities for 2016 and beyond.
Future Concepts:
The budget process is not static and Council, the citizens, and staff must remain vigilant to watch
for economic trends that impact current forecasts. Even as the 2016 budget is adopted, we must
remain mindful of the future economic opportunities and threats that may impact our multi-year
forecast. Examples of potential impacts and adaptive future concepts are as follows:
5
Retail Strategy. The City is actively engaged in growing our economy. In 2016 we will execute
a retail strategy to support existing retail and encourage new retail to retain local dollars and
attract spending from outside our city limits.
Tourism. The City is engaged with the tourist industry in Spokane Valley including lodging,
dining and shopping sectors. We are planning for the future to attract visitors and enhance our
local tourism economy.
Acknowledgments:
I would like to acknowledge the citizens, City Council and staff for a long history of
conservative spending and prudent fiscal planning. By saving and conserving the taxpayers'
money, and by adopting prudent long-term fiscal policies, the City can provide essential services
and balance its budget for many years to come.
The City Council has set a path to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the City. The
management staff and employees have worked together to develop Business Plans and 2016
budget recommendations to achieve the Council's goal of sustainability.
The Citizens of Spokane Valley should be proud of the strong financial condition of their City.
We invite your examination and questions regarding the 2016 Budget.
Respectfully,
Mike Jackson
City Manager

TO: City Manager and Members of the City Council
FROM: Chelsie Taylor, Interim Finance Director
SUBJECT: About the 2016 Budget and Budget Development Process
The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds. Additionally, the
budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff and community. As a result, the
City Council, staff and public are involved in establishing the budget for the City of Spokane Valley.
The budget serves four functions:
1. It is a Policy Document
The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will reflect the
general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future. As a policy document, the budget
makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-day activities of the
City staff.
2. It is an Operational Guide
The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each City function and organization have been
planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process will help to maintain an
understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to each other and to the attainment of
the policy issues and goals of the City Council.
3. It is a Link with the General Public
The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City operations. The
budget describes the activities of the City, the reason or cause for those activities, future implications, and the
direct relationship to the citizenry.
4. It is a Legally Required Financial Planning Tool
The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light, preparing and
adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget and must be in place prior to the
beginning of the City's fiscal year. The budget is the legal authority to expend public moneys and controls
those expenditures by limiting the amount of the appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are
estimated, along with available cash carry -forward, to indicate funds available. The budget takes into account
unforeseen contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments.

2016 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Historically the City has utilized a budgeting approach that assumed for most functions of government that
the current year's budget was indicative of the base required for the following year. However, with the recent
downturn in the economy and resultant reduction in revenues (most notably the decline in sales taxes), the
2012 through 2016 Budget development processes were amended to consciously review service levels in each
department and determine the appropriate level of funding that meets Council goals relative to available
resources.
The 2016 Budget development process began at the February 17, 2015, Council workshop where among other
topics, Council and Staff discussed the budget in general terms. In mid-April 2015 the Finance Department
notified City Departments that their 2016 revenue and expenditure estimates were due by mid-May. Through
the balance of May and early June, the City Manager's office and Finance Department worked to prepare
budget worksheets that were communicated to the City Council at a Budget workshop held June 16, 2015.
Following the workshop, the Finance Department continued work on the budget including refinements of
revenue and expenditure estimates and through July and August, the Finance Department and City Manager
reviewed updated budget projections.
By the time the 2016 Budget is scheduled to be adopted on October 27, 2015, the Council will have had an
opportunity to discuss it on seven separate occasions, including two public hearings to gather input from
citizens:
June 16 Council budget workshop
August 11 Admin report: Estimated 2016 revenues and expenditures
August 25 Public hearing #1 on 2016 revenues and expenditures
September 8 City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2016 Budget
September 22 Public hearing #2 on 2016 Budget
October 13 First reading on ordinance adopting the 2016 Budget
October 27 Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2016 Budget
Once adopted, the final operating budget is published, distributed, and made available to the public.
After the budget is adopted, the City enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage. Throughout the
year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department directors to ensure that actual
expenditures are in compliance with the approved budget. The Finance Department provides the City
Manager and City Council with monthly reports to keep them abreast of the City's financial condition and
individual department compliance with approved appropriation levels. Any budget amendments made during
the year are adopted by City Council ordinance.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any revisions that alter
the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized employee positions, salary ranges or
other conditions of employment must be approved by the City Council.
When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease the
appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance adopted by Council after holding one public
hearing.
8
BUDGET PRINCIPLES
• Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with City
Council and City Manager priority direction, and for implementing them once they are approved.
• The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and administration of the
City's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance with applicable State of Washington statutes
governing local government budgeting practices.
• The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems, formulating solutions
and alternatives, and implementing any necessary corrective actions.
• Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing those services.
• Budget amendments requiring City Council approval will occur through the ordinance process at the fund
level prior to fiscal year end.
• The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services plan in a
Council/constituent friendly format.
• No long term debt will be incurred without identification of a revenue source to repay the debt. Long
term debt will be incurred for capital purposes only.
• The City will strive to maintain equipment replacement funds in an amount necessary to replace the
equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required contributions will be
reviewed annually as part of the budget process. New operations in difficult economic times may make it
difficult to fund this principle in some years.
• The City will pursue an ending general fund balance at a level of no less than 50% of recurring
expenditures. This figure is based upon an evaluation of both cash flow and operating needs.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Accounting
Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the State Auditor
under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.09.20, and in compliance with
generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a
separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of double -entry accounts that
comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. The City's
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds depending on their intended purpose. The
following are the fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
9
Governmental Fund Types
Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state and local government
operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or "financial flows" measurement
focus, which means that typically only current assets and current liabilities are included on related balance
sheets. The operating statements of governmental funds measure changes in financial position, rather than net
income. They present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other
financing uses) in net current assets. There are four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane
Valley:
1. General Fund
This fund is the primary fund of the City of Spokane Valley. It accounts for all financial resources except
those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund.
2. Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance particular activities of
the City of Spokane Valley. Special Revenue funds include:
• #101 - Street Fund
• #103 - Paths & Trails Fund
• #104 - Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund
• #105 - Hotel / Motel Tax Fund
• #106 - Solid Waste Fund
• #107 - PEG Fund
• #120 - CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund
• #121 - Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund
• #122 - Winter Weather Reserve Fund
• #123 - Civic Facilities Replacement Fund
3. Debt Service Funds
These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of debt. Debt Service
Funds are comprised of the #204 — LTGO Debt Service Fund.
4. Capital Project Funds
These funds account for financial resources, which are designated for the acquisition or construction of
general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include:
• #301 — REET 1 Capital Project Fund
• #302 — REET 2 Capital Projects Fund
• #303 - Streets Capital Projects Fund
• #309 - Parks Capital Projects Fund
• #310 - Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund
• #311 - Pavement Preservation Fund
• #312 — Capital Reserve Fund
10
Proprietary Fund Types
A fifth type of fund classification are the Proprietary Funds that are used to account for activities similar
to those found in the private sector where the intent of the governing body is to finance the full cost of
providing services based on the commercial model which uses a flow of economic resources approach.
Under this approach, the operating statements for the proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net
income (revenues and expenses) and both current and non-current assets and liabilities are reported on
related balance sheets. Their reported fund equity (total net assets) is segregated into restricted,
unrestricted and invested in capital assets classifications. As described below, there are two generic fund
types in this category:
1. Enterprise Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general public and are
supported primarily by user charges. Included in this type of fund is:
• #402 — Stormwater Management Fund
• #403 — Aquifer Protection Area Fund
2. Internal Service Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other depaitinents or funds of the
City. Included in this type of fund is:
• #501 - Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund
• #502 - Risk Management Fund
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized, recorded in the accounting
system and ultimately reported in the financial statements.
• Modified Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for all governmental funds. Modified accrual
recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the
current period.
• Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for enterprise and internal service funds. Under this system
revenues and expenses are recognized in the period incurred rather than when cash is either received
or disbursed.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriation budgets are adopted for all funds with Governmental Funds utilizing a modified
cash basis of accounting for budget purposes, and Proprietary Funds utilizing a working capital approach.
Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures and annual
appropriations for all funds lapse at the end of the fiscal period.
EXPLANATION OF MAJOR REVENUE SOURCES
General Fund #001
• Property Tax
Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits the City to a
$3.60 levy per $1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of $1.50 by the Spokane County
Fire Districts #1 and #8, along with deducting $0.50 for the Library District, which leaves the City with
the authority to levy up to $1.60 for its own purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance
by November 30th prior to the levy year.
11
• Retail Sales and Use Tax
The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane Valley is 8.7%.
The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the vendor to the Washington
Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the various agencies that have imposed the tax.
The allocation of the 8.7% tax rate to the agencies is as follows:
State of Washington 6.50%
City of Spokane Valley 0.85%
Spokane County 0.15%
Criminal Justice 0.10%
Spokane Public Facilities District 0.10% *
Public Safety 0.10% * 2.20% local tax
Juvenile Jail 0.10% *
Mental Health 0.10% *
Law Enforcement Conuuunications 0.10% *
Spokane Transit Authority 0.60% *
8.70%
* Indicates voter approved sales taxes.
• Criminal Justice Sales Tax
Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes, such as the
City's law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at 1/10 of 1% of retail sales transacted in the
County. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 10% of the receipts to Spokane County, with
the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County and cities within the County.
• Public Safety Sales Tax
Beginning in 2005, an additional 0.1% voter approved increase in sales tax was devoted to public safety
purposes. This 0.1% was approved by the voters again in August 2009. Of the total amount collected,
the State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita
basis to the cities within the County.
• Gambling Tax
Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to gambling.
Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes may be used for any general
government purpose.
Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly to the City, no later than the last day of January, April, July and
October. The City imposes a tax on the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5%
gross, less prizes); Raffles (5% gross, less prizes); Punchboards and Pulltabs (5% gross, less prizes);
Amusement Games (2% gross, less prizes); Card playing (6% gross).
• Leasehold Excise Tax
Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties (City's share).
• Franchise Fees
Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5% of gross revenues. This is a fee levied
on private utilities for the right to use city streets, alleys, and other public properties.
12
• State -Shared Revenues
State -shared revenues are received from liquor sales, and motor vehicle excise taxes. These taxes are
collected by the State of Washington and shared with local governments based on population. State -
shared revenues are distributed on either a monthly or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues
are distributed in the same month of the quarter. The 2015 population figure used in the 2016 Budget is
93,340 as reported by the Office of Financial Management for Washington State on April 1, 2015. This
figure is important when determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis.
• Fines and Forfeitures / Public Safety
Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings and other miscellaneous rule
infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State, with the City, on average, retaining
less than 50% of the amount collected.
• Community Development
Community Development revenues are largely composed of fees for building permits, plan reviews, false
alarms and right of way permits.
• Recreation Program Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These fees offset
direct costs related to providing the program.
• CenterPlace Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace. Uses include regional
meetings, weddings, receptions and banquets. Rental rooms include classrooms, the great room and
dining rooms.
• Investment Interest
The City earns investment interest on sales tax money held by the State of Washington prior to the
distribution of the taxes to the City, as well as on City initiated investments.
Street Fund #101
• Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (gas tax)
The State of Washington collects a $0.4450 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump, which will
increase to $0.4940 per gallon effective July 1, 2016. Of this amount, the State remits a portion of the tax
back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2016 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the
distribution back to cities will be $21.57 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of
93,340 (per the Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2015) we anticipate the
City will collect $2,013,400 in 2016. RCW 47.30.050 specifies that .42% of this tax must be expended
for paths and trails activities and based upon the 2016 revenue estimate this computes to $8,500. The
balance or $2,004,900 will be credited to Fund #101 for Street maintenance and operations.
• Telephone Utility Tax
The City of Spokane Valley levied a 6% telephone utility tax via Ordinance #08-014 with collections
beginning in 2009. Telephone companies providing this service pay the tax to the City monthly.
Telephone tax has been estimated at $2.34 million for 2015.
13
Paths & Trails Fund #103
Cities are required to spend .42% of the motor vehicle fuel tax receipts on paths and trails (please see the
explanation for Street Fund #101) which we anticipate will be $8,500 in 2016. Because the amount collected
in any given year is relatively small, it is typical to accumulate State distributions for several years until
adequate dollars are available for a project.
Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund #104
The City imposes a 1.3% tax under RCW 67.28.181 on all charges made for the furnishing of lodging at
hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks) for a continuous
period of less than one month. The revenues generated by this tax may only be used for capital expenditures
for acquiring, constructing, making improvements to or other related capital expenditures for large sporting
venues, or venues for tourism -related facilities. This tax is estimated to generate $357,500 in 2016.
Hotel / Motel Tax Fund #105
The City imposes a 2% tax under RCW 67.28.180 on all charges made for the furnishing of lodging at hotels,
motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks) for a continuous period of
less than one month. The tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5 percent state sales tax, so that the total tax
that a patron pays in retail sales tax and hotel/motel tax combined is equal to the retail sales tax in the
jurisdiction. The revenues generated by this tax may be used solely for paying for tourism promotion and for
the acquisition and/or operation of tourism -related facilities. This tax is estimated to generate $550,000 in
2016.
PEG Fund #107
Under the City's cable franchise, the franchise grantee remits to the City as a capital contribution in support of
Public Education Government (PEG) capital requirements an amount equal to $0.35 per subscriber per month
to be paid to the City on a quarterly basis for the life of the franchise. Capital contributions collected under
this agreement are allocated to PEG capital uses exclusively. PEG capital uses include, in part, the set up of
equipment in the City Council Chambers that allows Spokane Valley to broadcast Council meetings both live
and through subsequent reviews via digital recordings available on the City's website.
LTGO Debt Service Fund #204
In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bonds the proceeds of which
were used to finance both the construction of CenterPlace and road and street improvements surrounding the
facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order to take advantage of lower interest rates which
resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond repayment (much like refinancing a home mortgage). At
the completion of the bond refunding there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this total:
• $5,650,000 remains on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds will
be paid off in annual installments over the 20 -year period ending December 1, 2033. Annual debt service
payments on these bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District. At January 1, 2016, the
outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $5,250,000.
• $1,385,000 remains on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements. These bonds
will be paid off in annual installments over the 10 -year period ending December 1, 2023. Annual debt
service payments on these bonds are provided by equal distributions from the 1st and 2nd quarter percent
real estate excise tax. At January 1, 2016, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue will
be $1,125,000.

Stormwater Management Fund #402
A stormwater fee is imposed upon every developed parcel within the City, which is an annual charge of $21
for each single family unit and $21 per 3,160 square feet of impervious surface for all other properties. These
charges are uniform for the same class of customers and service facilities. These fees are estimated to
generate $1,870,000 in 2016.
Aquifer Protection Area (APA) Fund #403
These are voter approved fees, the proceeds of which are applied to aquifer protection related capital
construction projects. Fees are collected by Spokane County and remitted to the City twice each year. Fees
include:
• An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the APA.
• An annual fee of $15 per household for on-site sewage disposal by properties within the APA.
• For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water meter size.
These fees are estimated to generate $500,000 in 2016
Interfund Transfers
Many funds receive a portion of their revenues from other funds in the form of an interfund transfer. These
transfers typically represent payments for either services rendered by one fund for another or a concentration
of revenues for a specific project or purpose. The following interfund transfers are planned for 2016:

Management Fund, and one tandem snow plow.
16
• To partially offset the $17.4 million in capital costs, we anticipate $10.4 million in grant revenues which
results in 59.40% of capital expenditures being covered with State and Federal money.
• Budgets will be adopted across 23 separate funds.
• The full time equivalent employee (FTE) count will be 87.4 employees compared to 87.25 in the prior
year as a result of one part-time position being increased from 0.5 to 0.65.
• The 2016 Budget reflects the fourth consecutive year the City will set aside City monies in an amount
equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures for pavement preservation in Fund #311 —
Pavement Preservation. This 6% equals $2,301,500.
• Positions and salary ranges are based on the City's compensation and classification plan.
• Payroll tax and benefit amounts are based on staff benefit plans.
• Contract costs for public safety, park maintenance, aquatics and street maintenance are based on estimates
by City staff.
• The City is setting money aside in Fund #501 Equipment Rental and Replacement for the eventual
replacement of its vehicles.
2016 General Fund Revenues
• Total recurring 2016 revenues are estimated at $39,438,428 as compared to $38,261,000 in 2015. This is
an increase of $1,177,428 or 3.08%.
• The two largest sources of revenue continue to be Sales Tax and Property Tax which are collectively
estimated to account for 81.4% of 2016 General Fund revenues.
• The 2016 general sales tax estimate (excluding criminal justice and public safety sales taxes) is reflective
of 2015 receipts to date and are currently estimated at $18.2 million which reflects an increase of
$582,100 or 3.30% over the 2015 amended estimate.
• The Property Tax levy does not include the 1% increase allowed by Initiative #747 which was approved
by the voters in November 2001 through their approval of Initiative #747 and the subsequent action by
the State Legislature in November 2007.
o The 2016 levy is estimated at $11,479,200.
o The levy assumes we start with the 2015 levy of $11,279,152, forgo the 1% increase allowed by State
law, and finally add taxes related to new construction which we estimate to be $200,000.
• Franchise fees and business registrations are primarily based on projected receipts in 2015.
• State shared revenues are based upon a combination of historical collections including 2015 collections
through July, and per capita distribution figures reported by the Municipal Research and Services Center.
• Fines and forfeitures are estimated by Spokane Valley and based on historical collections.
• Building permit and land use fees are estimated by Spokane Valley and based on historic collections.
2016 General Fund Expenditures
• Total 2016 recurring expenditures are budgeted at $39,326,199 as compared to $38,292,307 in 2015.
This is an increase of $1,033,892 or 2.70%.
• The City commitment of 6% of recurring General Fund expenditures to pavement preservation equals
$2,301,500 and is computed by multiplying total recurring expenditures prior to adding the pavement
preservation element ($2,301,500 / $38,382,399 = 6%). The $2,301,500 that is transferred to Pavement
Preservation Fund #311 is comprised of the following:
o $943,800 from General Fund #001
o $67,342 from Street Fund #101
o $559,786 from Civic Facilities Replacement Fund #123
o $365,286 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
o $365,286 from REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
• 2016 Nonrecurring expenditures total $613,281 and include:
o $108,000 for Information Technology expenditures including:
■ $20,000 for Barracuda backup server for CenterPlace
17
• $36,000 to replace a Cisco 4510 switch that is 10 -years old

o $140,281 that represents the anticipated City Police Department share of a CAD / RMS system that
will be acquired by the County Sheriff in 2016 (pending agreement with Spokane County)
General Fund Revenues Over (Under) Expenditures and Fund Balance
• 2016 recurring revenues are anticipated to exceed recurring expenditures by $112,229.
• Total 2016 expenditures are anticipated to exceed total revenues by $460,627.
o This is entirely due to the nonrecurring expenditures previously discussed which equal $613,281 and
is not a result of ongoing operating costs overwhelming revenues. In fact it is because of the City's
strong financial position that we're able to make these acquisitions.
• The total unrestricted General Fund ending fund balance is anticipated to be $20,930,872 at the end of
2016 which is 53.22% of total recurring expenditures of $39,326,199. Our goal is to maintain an ending
fund balance of at least 50.0%.
Highlights of Other Funds
Revenues
• Motor vehicle fuel tax (MVFT) revenue that is collected by the State and remitted to the City is estimated
to be $2,013,400 according to per capita estimates provided by the Municipal Research and Services
Center. Of this amount, $2,004,900 will be credited to the Street O&M Fund and 0.42% or $8,500 to the
Paths and Trails Fund.
• Telephone taxes that are remitted to the City and support Street Fund operations and maintenance are

• Hotel/Motel tax revenues are computed by the City and are dedicated to the promotion of visitors and
tourism. In 2016 we estimate the tax will generate $907,500, which includes $550,000 in Fund #105
Hotel / Motel Tax Fund from the 2% tax and $357,500 in Fund #104 Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism
Facilities Fund from the 1.3% tax that was effective as of July 1, 2015.
• The Stormwater Management Fee is based on an equivalent residential unit (ERU) that is equal to 3,160
square feet of impervious surface that is billed at a rate of $21 per single family residence and $21 per
ERU for commercial properties (an ERU for a commercial property is computed as total square feet of
impervious surface divided by 3,160). In 2016 we estimate this will fee will generate $1,870,000.
• The Aquifer Protection Area Fund is expected to generate $500,000 in fees that are collected on the City's
behalf by Spokane County and remitted in two installments during the year.
• Grant revenues that will be applied to a variety of construction projects are estimated at $10,350,763 in

how resources are allocated, the appropriate levels of service, and establishing goals and policies for the organization.
Accomplishments for 2015
• Pursued a legislative capital budget request for the Appleway Trail Project, parkland acquisition and the Barker Road
grade separation.
Appleway Trail: Based on Council approval of the use of City funds, construction on the portion of the trail between
University and Pines Road was completed. This included a plaza at University Road, trees, irrigation lines and trail
lighting. At the legislative level, the City was awarded $1.8 million for future construction of the trail project.
Barker Road Overpass: The City was successful at including the Barker Road overpass in the draft version of the
Transportation package, but unfortunately it was not included in the final version adopted by the Legislature. Staff
worked to prepare and submit a $21M TIGER VII grant application for the Barker Road Grade Separation.
• Continued to expand where possible, an economic development plan, including review and evaluation of Spokane Valley's
development regulations and how they compare with other jurisdictions; and completed plans for a new city hall.

Council approval. Land was purchased and American West Architects were hired to begin plans for the new city hall.
Staff also developed a budget and provided options for the funding of a new city hall.

approximately $1.2M per the years 2017-2019 through the Surface Transportation Program grants.
• Evaluate law enforcement needs based on calls for service, crime rates, business and population growth and other
supporting data.
A staffing analysis was completed that resulted in the addition of two patrol officers. A Power Shift was created as well so
staffing levels could be matched to peak call load times of day. Supported funding for the new CAD/RMS system including
the support of a Crime Analyst Position. This position will serve to pull crime information from the CAD/RMS system and
various report sources to inform officers and point out trends to better utilize resources.

Paths & Trails Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
The State of Washington collects a $0.445 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump, which will increase to
$0.494 per gallon effective July 1, 2016. Of this amount, the State remits a portion of the tax back to cities on a per
capita basis. For 2016 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the distribution back to cities will
be $21.27 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 93,340 (per the Washington State Office
of Financial Management on April 1, 2015) we anticipate the City will collect $2,2013,400 in 2016. RCW 47.030.050
specifies that .42% of this tax must be expended for the construction of paths and trails and based upon the 2016
revenue estimate. This computes to $8,500. The balance or $2,004,900 will be credited to Fund #101 for Street
maintenance and operations.
The portion of the motor vehicle tax allocated to the Paths and Trails Fund is by State Law restricted for the construction
and/or improvement of paths and trails withing the City. Because the cost of such projects is typically much greater
than the funds generated in a single year we typically leave the fund balance untouched until an adequate fund balance
is available. In 2014 the City transferred $50,000 to Park Capital Projects Fund #309 to be applied twoards the
Phase 2 Appleway Trail Project from University to Pines.

Solid Waste
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
In 2003, the City of Spokane Valley entered into an interolocal agreement with the City of Spokane and Spokane County
to join the existing Spokane Regional Solid Waste Management System for a period of eight years. In 2011, that
agreement was extended through November 16, 2014.
Committed to ensuring Spokane Valley citizens are provided with solid waste services that are affordable, sustainable,
and environmentally responsible, in June 2014 the City of Spokane Valley opted to contract for solid waste transfer,
transport and disposal services with Sunshine Recyclers, Inc. Services provided under the contract are effective
November 17, 2014, and continue for a period of ten years with options for two three-year extensions. Terms of the
contract require Sunshine to pay the City an annual administrative fee of $125,000 that will be used by the City to offset
contract administrative costs and solid waste management within the city, including solid waste public educational
efforts. The contract also provides that a road maintenance fee will be paid by Sunshine at the rate of $1 per ton for
each ton in excess of 45,500 tons in a single contract year. Payments will be made to the City by March 31 of the year
following the calendar year being measured. Assuming the total tonnage in 2015 exceeds 45,500 we would expect our
first payment from Sunshine by March 31, 2016.
The contract with Sunshine Recyclers does not include curbside pickup which remains optional for citizens and is
available by subscription through Waste Management and Sunshine Disposal, Inc.
During the years of 2013 and 2014, the General Fund #001 funded various studies and fees related to the solid waste
program and transferred $60,000 to the Solid Waste Fund #106 for the purpose of providing information materials
and marketing necessary to inform residents and businesses of the change in the solid waste transfer, transport and
disposal. The total amount paid out of the General Fund for these expenditures was $202,121. Beginning in 2015 the
Solid Waste Fund will reimburse the General Fund for these costs over a 5 -year period, which equates to a
payment of annually of $40,425 in the years 2015 through 2019.

Center Place Operating Reserve Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
The CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund was established as a result of covenant related to the issuance of
limited tax general obligation bonds initially issued in 2003 and refunded in 2014. The bonds were issued for the
purpose of constructing the CenterPlace facility. As a part of the bond issuance the City agreed to establish a $300,000
operating reserve account that could be used to make debt service payments on the bonds and/or pay for operating
expenses of CenterPlace. If at any time the City were to draw on these reserves it would have to prepare and follow a
plan for reinstatement of those funds drawn. This reserve is required to be in place for the life of the bonds which run
through December 1, 2033.

Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
The City has committed to maintaining a General Fund fund balance of at least 50% of recurring expenditures which
is equivalent to 6 -months of operations. The Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund serves as an emergency source
of temporary financing to the General Fund in the event a downturn in the local economy resulted in a reduction of
revenues that would otherwise compromise either the General Fund's minimum 50% reserve balance or historical levels
of service.
If an event such as a downturn in the economy resulted in the General Fund balance dropping below 50% of recurring
expenditures, then the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund could be drawn against to maintain the fund balance
minimum. In no event would the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund be reduced to less than 60% of the current
$5.5 million balance or $3.27 million. This represents a Fiscal Policy of the City that is also stated in the City Manager's
2016 Budget Message located near the front of this budget document.

Winter Weather Reserve Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
The Winter Weather Reserve Fund was established to provide an emergency reserve for use during unusually harsh
winters where the Street Fund #101 budget and fund balance are inadequate to accommodate the amount of snow plowing
that may be necessary. In the event the City draws against this fund in any given winter we will strive to replenish
the balance back to approximately $500,000 through subsequent years transfers from Fund #101. Due to the uncertainty
of when this fund might be drawn upon we actually budget the same $500,000 in both 2014 and 2015 even though we
recognize there exists only $500,000 to address this issue if it should arise.

Civic Facility Replacement Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
This fund was initially created to set aside money for the eventual replacement of CenterPlace and the police precinct
building located on on east Sprague Avenue and the source of funds had in prior years been an annual transfer from
the General Fund. Beginning in 2013 however the City made the decision to no longer set money aside in this fund for
future building replacements and instead decided to commit the entire fund balance of Fund #123 to a pavement
program that is operated through Pavement Preservation Fund #311. This is in recognition of the fact that addressing
deteriorating streets in a timely manner is a much higher priority in the present than setting money aside for buildings that
will need replaced in the distant future. It was the City's conclusion that to both set money aside for the replacement of
CenterPlace now while at the same time repaying the 2014 LTGO bonds (see Fund #204 discussion) that were issued
to finance the construction of CenterPlace is essentially asking the same generation of taxpayers/citizens to pay for the
same structure twice - the initial construction and the replacement.
The $2.4 million fund balance that existed at the end of 2012 will be completely depleted due to transfers for pavement
preservation in 2016.

Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) Bond - Debt Service Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of limited tax general obligation (LTGO)
bonds also referred to as councilmanic or nonvoted bonds. When LTGO bonds are issued the City irrevocably pledges
the full faith, credit and resources necessary to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and
statutory limitations pertaining to non -voted general obligations.
In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance both the construction of
CenterPlace and road and street improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order
to take advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond payments (much like
refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this
total:
• $5,650,000 remains on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 20 -year period ending December 1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District. At January 1, 2016, the outstanding balance on this
portion of the bond issue will be $5,250,000.
• $1,385,000 remains on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 10 -year period ending December 1, 2023. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by equal distributions from the 1st and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax (Funds 301
and 302). At January 1, 2016, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $1,125,000.

Park Capital Projects Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
The Parks Capital Projects Fund was created to account for park related capital improvements. Source of financing
typically consists of an annual transfer from the General Fund #001, however in some years the City will utilize money
set aside for capital projects in other funds. This occurred in 2014 when $50,000 was transferred from the Paths and
Trails Fund #103 and Capital Reserve Fund #312 which was applied towards the Appleway Trail - University to Pines project.

Civic Facility Capital Projects Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
The Civic Building Capital Projects Fund was initially set-up to accumulate resources to ultimately acquire or construct a
City Hall building. The initial sources of revenue to set-up the fund reserves were transfers from the General Fund during
2005 through 2007, and as recently as December 31, 2009, this fund had a fund balance of $5,828,600. During 2010 and
2011 the City determined that street repairs and reconstruction represented a more immediate City need and opted to
expend nearly $2,000,000 of the fund balance for these projects. The projects themselves were part of a septic tank
elimination program (STEP) initiated by Spokane County that resulted in the installation of sewer lines down many City
City streets. At that time the City decided to completely reconstruct the effected streets rather than patch them.
In 2012 the City used this fund to finance a variety street related capital projects as well as the $2.5 million acquisition
of an 8.4 acre parcel of land on Sprague Avenue that is adjacent to Balfour Park. Partially offsetting the cost of the land
acquisition was the subsequent sale of 2.82 acres of this parcel to the Spokane County Library District who plans to
construct a library building consisting of no less than 30,000 square feet. In order for the Library District to actually construct
a new building on this site they must first have a successful voted bond issue to provide the necessary financing. In the
event the Library District is unable to pass a bond by October 2017, they may sell the 2.82 acres parcel back to the City for
the original purchase price of $839,285.
In 2015 the General Fund began to make two annual transfers to this fund that are each related to the eventual
construction of a new City Hall facility. These transfers continued in 2016.
• The first transfer in the amount of $72,500, when added to the City's $434,600 annual lease payment for space in its
current space totals $507,100 which is the amount we currently anticipate our annual bond repayment would be if
we were to issue approximately $8,000,000 of limited tax general obligation bonds with a 2% issue cost over 30 -years
at 4.50%.
• The second transfer is our current estimate of the annual operating costs of a City Hall facility including utilities,
janitorial, grounds maintenance and snow removal, and operating and maintenance supplies.
The purpose behind making these transfers beginning in 2015 is to "create" this appropriation capacity within the General
Fund.

Pavement Preservation Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
This fund was created during the 2011 Budget development process for the purpose of setting money aside for
yet to be determined street capital improvement projects. During the 2011 Budget the City Council opted to:
• Make an initial transfer of $500,000 from the Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund #310, and additionally
transfer an amount equivalent to 40% of the General Fund's audited fund balance that exceeded $26,000,000 as
of December 31, 2010. The 2010 ending fund balance was $27,461,703 which resulted in an additional 2011
transfer of $584,681 ((=$27,461,703 - $26,000,000) x 40%) bringing the total transfers to $1,084,681. there were
no pavement preservation expenditures from this fund in 2011.
• In the 2012 Budget the City Council opted to transfer 100% of the General Fund unreserved fund balance in excess
of $26,000,000 to Fund #311 which computed out to $2,045,203 (= $28,045,203 - $26,000,000). Pavement
preservation expenditures in 2012 totalled $2,181,451.
• In the 2013 Budget development process the City committed to finance pavement preservation at a level equivalent
to 6% of 2013 General Fund recurring expenditures which computed out to $2,054,141 (= $34,235,677 x 6%). This
was funded with an appropriation of $855,857 directly from the General Fund plus an additional appropriation of
$1,198,284 in Fund #311. Sources of financing for the fund #311 appropriation included transfers -in from Fund #101
of $282,000; #123 of $616,284; #301 of $150,000 and #302 of $150,000. With an additional $35,945 in grant
revenue this brought total 2013 pavement preservation revenues to $2,092,886, which financed $2,243,010
in projects in 2013 ( =$855,857 in Fund #001 and $1,387,153 in Fund #311).
• In the 2014 Budget development process the City again committed to finance pavement preservation at a level
equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures which computed out to $2,156,051 (=$35,934,187 x 6%).
This was financed with transfers from a number of City funds including $888,823 from the General Fund #001;
$282,000 from Fund #101; $616,284 from Fund #123; $184,472 from Fund #301 and $184,472 from Fund #302.
With an additional $2,042,665 in grant revenue this brought total 2014 pavement preservation revenues to
$4,200,619, which helped finance $3,077,215 of projects in 2014.
• In the 2015 Budget development process the City again committed to finance pavement preservation at a level
equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures which computed out to $2,245,133 (=$37,418,882 x 6%).
This was financed with transfers from a number of City funds including $920,000 from the General Fund #001;
$206,618 from Fund #101; $616,284 from Fund #123; $251,049 from Fund #301 and $251,049 from Fund #302.
With an additional $1,086,709 of grant revenue this brings anticipated 2015 pavement preservation revenues to
$3,331,709, which are anticipated to finance $2,662,968 of projects in 2015.
• The 2016 Budget is again being developed to set aside City funds equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring
expenditures which computes out to $2,301,500 (=$38,357,999 x 6%). This is being financed with transfers from a
number of City funds including $943,800 from the General Fund #001; $67,342 from Fund #101; $559,786 from
Fund #123; $365,286 from Fund #301 and $365,286 from Fund #302. This brings anticipated 2016 pavement
preservation revenues to $2,301,500. The 2016 Budget is anticipated to finance $2,156,051 of projects in 2016.
The fund balance of Fund #123 will be exhausted with the 2016 transfer of $559,786. In order to maintain the City's practice
of setting aside funds for pavement preservation in an amount equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures,
the City will have to rely more heavily on the REET funds going forward. We have determined that the 2016 funding level of
$2,301,500 is sustainable through 2020 assuming a General Fund contribution of $943,800, a Street Fund contribution of
$67,342, and a collective contribution of $1,290,358 from the REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301 and the REET 2 Capital
Projects Fund #302. The City will take advantage of grant programs directed at pavement preservation as they become
available.
Because this is a Capital Project Fund whose sole purpose is to provide for Pavement Preservation projects, any
money not expended in a given year will remain in the fund and will be available for reappropriation in subsequent
years.

Aquifer Protection Area Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
In 1985 voters of Spokane County approved a ballot proposition to create the Spokane Aquifer Protection Area (APA)
as well as corresponding aquifer protection area fees with both sunsetting December 31, 2005. Boundaries of the
APA included portions of unincorporated areas (including what is now Spokane Valley) and the cities of Liberty Lake,
Millwood and Spokane. In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley approved a resolution authorizing the inclusion of its municipal
boundaries within the APA. The APA program was subsequently reauthorized through 2025 with voter approval.
All fees are collected by Spokane County and include:
• An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdraw) of water from properties within the APA.
• An annual fee of $15 per household for on-site sewage disposal within the APA.
• For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water meter size.
In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley (City) entered into an interlocal agreement with Spokane County (County) that
authorized the County to collect and retain APA fees through 2010 for a variety of projects including:
• up to $100,000 annually through 2010 to the Spokane Regional Health District to provide for data base
management related to monitoriing of septic tanks and their potential impact on water quality in the Spokane
Valley Rathdrum Praire Aquifer.
• a septic tank elimination program (STEP) designed to replace septic tanks with sanitary sewer systems.
In the 2004 interlocal agreement the City and County also agreed that for the years 2011 through 2025 the APA fees
remaining after the payment of reasonable administration and billing fees incurred by the County would be distributed
annually between the County, City and City of Spokane on a proportional basis relative to the amount generated in
unincorporated areas, the City and City of Spokane.
The fees collected on the City's behalf by Spokane County are expended entirely on stormwater related projects that
designed to protect the aquifer. These fees plus grant monies received from a number of granting agencies finance a
variety of capital projects.

Equipment Rental & Replacement Fund
Spokane Valley
2016 Budget
The Equipment Rental & Replacement Fund (ER&R) is an Internal Service Fund that is designed to provide the funds
necessary to purchase new vehicles and equipment at predetermined life cycles. This fund operates by charging each City
department a monthly rental rate for the vehicles they use. The fee is based upon the estimated useful life of the vehicle
and its replacement cost. The theory behind this program is that it allows City departments to budget vehicle replacement
costs as a reocurring expense over an extended period of time rather than as an intermittent capital expense that may be
difficult to afford in any single year. In the event a City department requires an additional vehicle that actually adds to the
fleet rather than simply replaces an existing vehicle, then that department must budget for the initial purchase price and
transfer the necessary funds to the ER&R Fund to make the acquisition. In subsequent years the department will then
begin paying a replacement fee spread out over the estimated useful life of the new vehicle.
The 2016 Budget includes an appropriation of $330,000 to replace one small pickup in the Community and Economic
Development Department with one small SUV, one car and one small truck for the Parks and Recreation Department,
one truck split half-time between the Street Fund and the Stormwater Management Fund, and one tandem snow plow.
Source of financing for the vehicles will be Fund #501 fund balance which exists as a result of previous years payments
by General Fund for this purpose.
Snow Plow Replacment Program
The snowplow fleet currently consists of nine plow trucks. Six of the trucks are equipped with sanders and three of the
trucks are equipped with 1,000 -gallon tanks for placement of liquid deicer. Over the past five years the City has
continued to improve the snow removal operations and has updated the snow plan accordingly. These improvements in
snow operations have dictated that operating nine plows is a very efficient way to remove snow from the arterial and hillside
roadways. Operating nine plows allows the performance of a full city arterial and designated hillsides plow in approximately
12 hours. In the future new plows will be purchased to replace the aging fleet as noted below and older plows will serve
as backups and eventually be retired from the fleet beginning in 2022. The recommended snow plow fleet consists of eleven
plows with two serving as backup plows. The two backup plows ensure that arterial roadways and hillside priority roadways
can be cleared of snow per the snow plan. Having backup plows provides the City with additional plows that can be deployed
in case of a mechanical breakdown or an accident during a winter storm event.
The 2016 Budget includes the purchase of a tandem axle plow truck with a sander. A tandem axle plow is critical
for plowing the hillside areas as the lead truck. This purchase will complete the need for a second tandem axle plow for
efficient and effective hillside plowing. This truck would also be equipped with a dump box so it could be utilized to haul
material and trailer the backhoe during the spring, summer and fall months. The Snowplow Equipment Rental and
Replacement Fund balance is currently $325,000. A new tandem axle plow with a dump box and sander will cost
approximately $225,000. Future replacements will be single axle plows with an estimated cost of $200,000 per plow.

Risk Management Fund
The City of Spokane Valley is exposed to risks of loss related to a number of sources including tort; theft of, damage to,
and destruction of assets; errors and ommissions; injuries to employees; natural disasters; and unemployment claims
filed by former employees through the State of Washington. The Risk Management Fund was established to account
for all such related revenues and expenses. Revenues for this fund are comprised almost entirely from an annual transfer
of money from the General Fund and the single largest expense is typically the insurance premium the City pays to our
insurance provider, the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA).

BACKGROUND: City Council requested information from staff regarding the types of vehicle
detection at signalized intersections throughout the City. The City currently maintains and
operates four types of detection devices at our 84 traffic signals: loops, video, radar, and the
combination of video/radar. We have 12 intersections with video detection, seven intersections
with radar, two intersections with combination video/radar, and the remaining with loop
detection. The included presentation discusses these detection devices in more detail and
provides information regarding their use and application.

Traffic Detection Equipment
Traffic Signal History
❖ First Official Traffic Control Signal System
❖ London — 1722
•'• Traffic Cops directing traffic on London Bridge
❖ First "Lighted" Traffic Control Device (for streets)
•:� London —1868
•:• Intersection of George & Bridge Streets
•:• Designed by J.P. Knight (railway engineer)
•:• Manually operated by Traffic Cop
•:• Gas (kerosene) lamp
•:• Red & green colors
2
Traffic Signal History
•• First tri -colored tower signal (red, amber, green)
♦ • Paris —1912
• Operated by Police Woman
•• First tri -colored signal in US
•• Detroit —1920
•• Intersection of Michigan & Woodward Avenues
•• Designed by William Potts (Police Officer)
•• Manually operated by Traffic Cop until 1921
• Then developed timer to make control
automatic

Detection History
❖ First Detector and equipment
❖ London — 1722
•'• Traffic Cop — eyes and ears
❖ Computers within traffic control devices — 1950's
❖ First Automatic Detector
❖ Throughout US — 1950's
•'• Pressure plate at intersections
❖ Indicated to computer that vehicle was present
❖ "Advanced" detection in late 1960's
❖ Pressure plates with better computer technology
4
Today's Detection
❖ Much more advanced than 1960's
❖ Various types
••• Underground or above ground
•• Able to process various information
❖ Presence of vehicles, bikes,
& pedestrians
•••• Traffic Counts
•••• Speeds
❖ Weight
❖ Number of Axles
❖ Origin & Destination
5
Today's Detection
❖ Various applications
•••• Traffic signals
❖ Rail lines
❖ Freeways, highways (urban & rural), arterials,
collectors, locals, and intersections
❖ Multimodal facilities (bike lanes, paths, trails,
sidewalks)
•••• Weigh stations
•••• Transit
6
Need for Detection
•••• Federal Performance Metrics
❖ Use technology to provide more capacity and better
movement of traffic within existing facilities
❖ Reduce delay at traffic signals
•••• Improve travel time and reduce emissions on corridors
❖ Federal guidance is requiring more reporting
❖ State statute to provide detection at traffic signals
❖ RCW 47.36.025
❖ Vehicle activated traffic control systems must
detect vehicles, motorcycles, and bicycles to extent
feasible/capable
Traffic Signal Actuation
❖ Allows for traffic signals to be
triggered by traffic
❖ Allows for flexibility for timing plans
❖ Allows for better traffic signal
progression
❖ Provides traveling public less
wait time during off-peak
❖ One vehicle can trigger the
green phase
❖ Avoids set timing and unused
green time
8
Types of Signal Detection
••• Stop bar detectors
❖ Let signal controller know vehicle is waiting
❖ Controller then knows to move to phase in which
vehicle is waiting
❖ Stop bar detection used in left -turn lanes, through
lanes, and right -turn lanes
•••• Set -back detectors
❖ Let signal controller know vehicle is approaching
❖ Can be used to extend the green time
❖ Can be used for traffic counts

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Outside Agency Allocation Method
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: This is a component of the annual budget development process.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council heard presentations from local economic
development and social service agencies who had applied for grant funding at the September 1,
2015, Council meeting.
BACKGROUND: For the past several years, the application and allocation process for the
outside agency grants has been as follows:
1. 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.
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.
Following the presentations by the economic development and social service agencies who had
applied for grant funding on September 1, 2015, a question was raised by a Councilmember
regarding the allocation method for the outside agency grant awards. The question was whether
we should allocate the remainder to be allocated among the agencies receiving seven votes on
a pro rata basis based on the requested grant amount instead of being allocated evenly among
the agencies receiving seven votes.
I have reviewed the remainder that has been allocated for the 2013, 2014, and 2015 grant
years, and the remaining amounts allocated in each of those years was $7,512, $0, and $3,287,
respectively, with between $0 and $939 in additional grant funds being allocated to agencies
receiving seven votes in those years. For the 2016 grant award process, I will continue with the
historical methodology for allocating the remainder to the agencies receiving seven votes.
OPTIONS: Information Only
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Information Only
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: $107,000 is included in the 2016 Budget for this purpose.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Mansfield Speed Limit
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: N/A
Department Director Approval: IZI
❑ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
BACKGROUND: The connection of Mansfield Avenue east of Pines Road (State Route 27) is a
significant change that will allow a continuous route for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians from
Pines Road to Mirabeau Parkway. This will provide the first east -west connection within the area
north of the Union Pacific Railroad (UPRR). The Mansfield Avenue connection changes the total
number of lanes by adding a two-way center turn lane and bicycle lanes from Cherry Lane east
to where it ties in with the existing three -lane with bike lane section in front of the River Rock
Apartments. The connection is currently under construction and will be completed in a few
weeks.
The paperwork is currently being processed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
and the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to classify Mansfield Avenue
as a collector arterial from Pines Road to Mirabeau Parkway. As such, the connection of a
principal arterial (Pines Road) to a collector (Mirabeau Parkway) will occur. Mansfield Avenue
primarily serves businesses/commercial development and multi -family residential
developments. Commercial properties and businesses exist at the corner of Pines/Mansfield. To
the east of these existing businesses are multi -family residential units, with more units planned
in the next three years. Finally, east of the multi -family residences are more commercial
properties and businesses immediately west of Mirabeau Parkway.
The existing speed limit on Mansfield Avenue between Pines Road and Houk Road is 25 miles
per hour (mph) due to the pre -construction configuration in which Mansfield Avenue turned 90 -
degrees, or `elbowed', into Houk Road, essentially terminating Mansfield Avenue at Houk Road.
The existing speed limit on Mansfield Avenue between the River Rock Apartments and
Mirabeau Parkway is 25 mph due to Mansfield terminating at the River Rock Apartments
westernmost property line. The existing speed limit on Mansfield Avenue west of Pines Road is
35 mph, as is Pines Road and Mirabeau Parkway within the vicinity of the project.
Mansfield Avenue is mostly straight with few horizontal or vertical curves. This connection
project will include the installation of median islands near Houk Road.
There are commercial or multi -family residential access points on Mansfield Avenue between
Pines Road and Mirabeau Parkway. To provide a comparison of facilities, Mirabeau Parkway
between Pines Road and Pinecroft Way is a three -lane collector roadway with a posted speed
limit of 35 mph and has a similar number of access points serving commercial development.
Collector roadways commonly have a posted speed limit between 30 mph and 40 mph as they
provide vital connections between local roadways or other collectors to arterials. As such,
Mansfield Avenue and this connection project have been designed for a posted speed limit of 35
mph.
Due to the significant changes that are underway with the Mansfield Avenue connection project,
a review of the posted speed limit is warranted. Section 2B-13 of the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) states that:
"States and local agencies should conduct engineering studies to reevaluate non -
statutory speed limits on segments of their roadways that have undergone significant
changes since the last review, such as the addition or elimination of parking or
driveways, changes in the number of travel lanes, changes in the configuration of bicycle
lanes, changes in traffic control signal coordination, or significant changes in traffic
volumes."
The Mansfield Avenue connection project changes the number of travel lanes, the configuration
of bicycle lanes, and will have a significant impact on the traffic volumes along Mansfield
Avenue from the current conditions. As such, Public Works is recommending the existing speed
limit on Mansfield Avenue to be increased to 35 mph between Pines Road and Mirabeau
Parkway.
