RE: Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee Representation
Dear County Commissioners:
• The City of Spokane Valley has elected to participate in the Community Development
Block Grant and HOME programs by joining the Spokane County consortium. The
appropriate letter of intent and the cooperation agreement have been signed and
presented -within the time frames allotted. An outstanding logistical issue to be
addressed is the City of Spokane Valley's proportional representation on the Housing
and Community Development Advisory Committee (HCDAC).
As I understand the composition of the HCDAC, it is made up of 20 citizens from
throughout Spokane County, excluding the City of Spokane. Each of the ten small cities
and towns participating in the consortium is represented on the HCDAC. The remaining
10 positions are filled on an "at large" basis from the remaining unincorporated area of
the county. The incorporated area representatives are nominated by their local mayor
with formal approval by the Board of County Commissioners. Unincorporated area
•
representatives are recruited through the Commissioner's office as positions become
• available. It has been indicated that historically, three to five at large representatives
have been from the Spokane Valley area.
The City of Spokane Valley requests that the Board of County Commissioners consider
amending the appropriate plans, rules of procedure and other applicable documents to
provide the City of Spokane Valley proportionate representation on the HCDAC at the
earliest possible time so that the necessary amendments take place prior to the
upcoming CDBG and HOME 2004 funding cycle.

Thank you for your consideration and anticipated prompt action on this issue.

Committee, via mayoral appointment and BoCC approval.

Honorable Michael DeVleming
City of Spokane Valley
11707 East Sprague Avenue,Suite 106
Spokane Valley,WA 99206
Dear Mr.Mayor:
On July 8th, the Spokane County Board of County Commissioners approved the Cooperation Agreement between
the City of Spokane Valley and Spokane County for the purpose of participating in the Urban County
Consortium. Participation will cover federal fiscal years 2004 and 2005, and will allow the City of Spokane
Valley to apply for Community Development Block Grant funds, and also allow the Department to work with the
city in developing the County's Consolidated Plan covering federal fiscal years 2005-2010. Your copies of the
Cooperation Agreement and Resolution 3-0645,are enclosed for your records.
We are extremely pleased to have the City of Spokane Valley represented on the committee and believe that 2004
will be both informative, and also provide the city with an opportunity to participate in meeting the housing and
community development needs of low-income residents of the unincorporated areas, and the other cities in the
consortium.
The Department is in the process of examining the possibility and justification for increasing the number of City
of Spokane Valley representatives on the committee. We will be in discussion with you about the available
options to us and to you.
I would also like to schedule a meeting with you and Mr. Mercier to discuss Community Development Block
Grant and HOME programs.Of course I am always available to answer any questions you,or the City's staff may
have regarding our services. Please let me know when you would be available for a meeting. I can be reached at
477-7561, or by e-mail at kkramcr(r'usrokanecounty:org.
Sincerely,
