Washington State Auditor's Office
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REP T° 6' INANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 3,2015
Mayor and City Council
City of Spokane Valley
Spokane Valley,Washington
REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type
activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Spokane Valley,
Spokane County, Washington, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and the related notes to
the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the
table of contents.
Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes
the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair
presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error.
Auditor's Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and
the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the
Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements,whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the City's preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
1
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for
our audit opinions.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the
respective financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund
and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County,
Washington, as of December 31, 2014, and the respective changes in financial position and, where
applicable, cash flows thereof for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America.
Other Matters
Report on Summarized Comparative Information
The financial statements include partial prior year comparative information. Such information does not
include all of the information required for a presentation in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, such information should be read in
conjunction with the City's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, from which such
partial information was derived. We have previously audited the City's 2013 financial statements and we
expressed unmodified opinions on the respective financial statements of the governmental activities, the
business-type activities, each major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information in our report
dated September 15,2014. In our opinion,the partial comparative information presented herein as of and
for the year ended December 31, 2013, is consistent, in all material respects, with the audited financial
statements from which it has been derived.
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that the management's
discussion and analysis on pages 7 through 18,budgetary comparison information on pages 65 through 66
and information on postemployment benefits other than pensions on page 67 be presented to supplement
the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is
required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers it to be an essential part of
financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic or
historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required supplementary information
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, which
consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and comparing the
information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries,the basic financial statements,
and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express
an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us
with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
2
Supplementary and Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively
comprise the City's basic financial statements. The accompanying information listed as combining
financial statements and supplementary information on pages 70 through 95 is presented for purposes of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. Such information is the
responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to the underlying accounting and
other records used to prepare the financial statements. This information has been subjected to auditing
procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures,
including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting and other
records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and other
additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.
The information identified in the table of contents as the Introductory and Statistical Sections is presented
for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements of the City.
Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, accordingly,we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.
OTHER REPORTING REQUIRED BY GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we will also issue our report dated September 3,
2015, on our consideration of the City's internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its
compliance with certain provisions of laws,regulations,contracts and grant agreements and other matters.
That report will be issued under separate cover in the City's Single Audit Report. The purpose of that
report is to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting and compliance
and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on internal control over financial reporting or
on compliance. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government
Auditing Standards in considering the City's internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
For the Year Ended December 31, 2014
As management of the City of Spokane Valley, Washington, we offer readers of the City's financial
statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2014.All amounts in this discussion and analysis,unless otherwise indicated, are
expressed in thousands of dollars. Also, this discussion contains comparative analysis based on
information from the prior year.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
The key financial highlights for 2014 are as follows:
The City of Spokane Valley's financial position improved. At the end of the current fiscal
year, assets exceeded liabilities by $137,179 thousand (net position). Of this amount, $50,762
thousand represents the primary government's unrestricted net position, which may be used
and is available to meet the City's ongoing activities and obligations to the citizens and
creditors.
The City of Spokane Valley's total net position from Governmental and Business-type
activities increased$3,781 thousand or 2.8% from the prior fiscal year,primarily explained by
revenues continuing to outpace expenditures and the current year's increase in the City's Net
Investment in capital assets.
At the close of the current fiscal year, the City of Spokane Valley's governmental funds
reported combined fund balances of $49,661 thousand, an increase of $3,317 thousand in
comparison with the prior year. Approximately 60.3% of this amount or $29,973 thousand
(unassigned fund balance) is available for spending at the City's discretion.
Also, at the end of the current fiscal year,unrestricted fund balance (the total of the committed,
assigned, and unassigned components of fund balance) for the general fund was $29,973
thousand, or approximately 89.6% of the total general fund expenditures, and the net change
in actual fund balance increased by$996 thousand during the current fiscal year.
Total Long-term liabilities for Governmental type activities decreased by $194 thousand to
$7,708 thousand during the current fiscal year; primarily due to annual scheduled debt
principal payments.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
This annual report consists of a series of financial statements. These statements are organized so the
reader can understand the City as a financial whole or as an entire operating entity. The statements
also provide a detailed look at specific fmancial conditions. The following discussion and analysis are
intended to serve as an introduction to the City's basic financial statements. The City's basic financial
statements are comprised of three components: 1) the government-wide financial statements, 2) fund
financial statements, and 3) notes to the financial statements. This report also contains other
supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.

The following figure summarizes the major features of the financial statements. This overview section
below also describes the structure and contents of each of the statements in more detail.

GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The government-wide fmancial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of
the City of Spokane Valley's finances,in a manner similar to a private-sector business.
Statement of Net Position and Statement of Activities
The statement of net position presents financial information on all of the City's assets, liabilities, and
deferred inflows/outflows of resources, with the difference between the two reported as net position.
Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the
financial position of the City is improving or deteriorating. The statement of activities presents
information showing how the City's net position changed during the current fiscal year.All changes in
net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise to the change occurs,regardless of
the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are reported for some items that will
only result in cash flows in future fiscal periods (e.g., uncollected taxes and earned but unused
vacation leave). This statement distinguishes revenue generated by specific functions, from revenue
provided by taxes and other sources not related to a specific function. Revenue generated by specific
functions(charges for services,fines and forfeitures,grants and other contributions)is compared to the
expenses for those functions to demonstrate how much each function either supports itself or relies on
taxes and other general funding sources for support.
The change in net position is important because it tells the reader whether, for the City as a whole,the
financial position of the City has improved or diminished in capacity. However, in evaluating the
overall position of the City, nonfinancial information such as changes in the City's tax base and the
condition of the City's capital assets will also need to be evaluated. These government-wide financial
statements can be found in the Basic section of this annual financial report.
8
In the statement of net position and the statement of activities, The City of Spokane Valley is divided
into two distinct functions or types of primary government:
• Governmental-type Activities Most of the City's programs and services are reported here, including
general government, public safety, physical environment, transportation, economic environment,
community development, and culture &recreation. These services are funded and supported primarily
by taxes and intergovernmental revenues,including federal and state grants,and other shared revenues.
• Business-type Activities—These services are provided on a charge for goods or user fee services basis
to recover all or a significant portion of the cost of services provided;including State Grants. The City's
Stormwater Utility Management Fund and Aquifer Protection Area Fund activity is reported here.
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives, and a fiscal accounting entity with a self-balancing set
of accounts used to account for specific activities. The City, like other state and local governments,
uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with fmance-related legal requirements.
All the funds of the City can be divided into two categories: governmental fund types, and proprietary
fund types. Fund financial statements provide detailed information about the City's major funds.
Based on the restriction of the use of resources and money, the City has established many funds that
account for the multitude of services provided to our residents.
Governmental Funds — Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions
reported as governmental activities on the government-wide financial statements.However, unlike the
government-wide financial statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term
inflows and outflows of spendable resources, as well as on balances of spendable resources available
at the end of the fiscal year. Such information may be useful in assessing the City's near-term
financing requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statements. By
doing so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the City's near-term financing
decisions. Both the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental fund statement of
revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this
comparison between governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains seventeen individual governmental funds. Information on the City's three major
governmental funds; General Fund, Street Fund, and Capital Reserve Fund are presented separately in
the governmental fund balance sheet and the governmental funds statement of revenues, expenditures,
and changes in fund balances. Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single,
aggregated presentation. Individual fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is
provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report. These basic governmental fund
financial statements can be found in the Basic section of this report.
Proprietary Funds—The City of Spokane Valley maintains two different types of proprietary funds.
Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in the
government-wide financial statements. Enterprise funds are used to account for goods and services
provided to the citizens on a user fee basis. The City provides information on its two enterprise funds,
the Stormwater Utility Management Fund and the Aquifer Protection Area Fund, both major funds,
under Proprietary Funds.
The City's two Internal Service Funds; Equipment Rental and Replacement and Risk Management
accounts for the accumulated and allocated internal costs of fleet vehicles, computer equipment, and
9
insurance claims. Also, both provide internally for the goods and services among the City's various
departments and functions. Because both of these services predominantly benefit governmental-type
functions rather than business-type functions in nature,they have been included within governmental-
type activities in the government-wide financial statements.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided
on the government-wide and fund fmancial statements. The notes are located immediately following
the basic financial statements.
Other Information
In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes,this report also presents
combining and individual fund statements and schedules for other governmental and internal service
funds. This information can be found in the supplemental section of this report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
Statement of net position-As noted earlier, net position over time,may serve as a useful indicator of
the City of Spokane Valley's financial position. The City's total assets exceeded total liabilities by
$137,179 thousand as of December 31, 2014. The following table summarizes and compares the
City's net position for 2014 and 2013 (see Table 1, below):

Total net position $ 129,862 $ 126,569 $ 7,317 $ 6,829 $ 137,179 $ 133,398
In this case, the Primary Governments assets exceeded liabilities by $137,179 thousand ($129,861
thousand in governmental activities and $7,317 in business activities) as of December 31, 2014. By
far, the largest portion of the City's net position ($81,289 thousand or 59.26%), reflects its
investment in capital assets ( e.g., land and improvements, buildings and building improvements,
improvements other than buildings, machinery and equipment, vehicles, and infrastructure), less any
related outstanding debt that was used to acquire those assets. The City of Spokane Valley uses these
capital assets to provide a variety of services to its citizens. Although the City's investment in its
capital assets is reported net of related debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this
debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital assets themselves cannot be used to
liquidate these liabilities. The majority of these capital assets were donated by Spokane County at the
time of incorporation in 2003. An additional portion (3.74%) of the City of Spokane Valley's net
position represents restricted resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they may be
used. The remaining balance of$50,762 thousand or 37.0% is unrestricted and may be used to meet
the city's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
10
At the end of the current fiscal year,the City is able to report positive balances in all categories of net
position, both for government as a whole, as well as for its separate governmental and business-type
activities. The same situation held true for the prior fiscal year.

■2014 [12013
As highlighted earlier,the City of Spokane Valley's total net position increased by $3,781 thousand or
2.8% from the prior year. This is primarily explained by revenues outpacing expenditures. More
discussion will follow for the overall increase in net position in the sections for governmental-type and
business-type activities.
Governmental-type Activities — During the current fiscal year total net position for governmental
activities increased by $3,294 thousand from the prior year for an ending balance of $129,862
thousand. The increase in the overall net position of governmental activities is the result of
management taking various steps (e.g., increasing rates for certain revenue sources like charges for
services, delaying certain nonrecurring expenses, and reducing expenses related to non-essential
ongoing programs in the utilities & physical environment and community development functions) to

the current fiscal year. In both business-type funds,the major program revenue sources were charges
for services of$1,867 thousand and intergovernmental revenues of$1,289 thousand. The primary
source of revenues is a Stormwater management fee imposed upon real property and the Aquifer area

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY'S FUNDS
As noted earlier, the City of Spokane Valley uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate
compliance with finance related requirements.
Governmental Funds-The focus of the City's governmental funds is to provide information on near-
term inflows,outflows,and balances of spendable resources. Such information is useful in assessing
the City's financing requirements. In particular,unassigned fund balance may serve as a useful
measure of the City's net resources available for spending at the end of the year and represent the
portion of fund balance which has not been limited to use for a particular purpose by either an external
party,the City of Spokane Valley itself,or from a group or individual that has delegated authority to
assign these resources to be used for particular purposes by the City of Spokane Valley's Council.
13
As of December 31, 2014, the City's total governmental funds reported a combined ending fund
balance of $49,662 thousand, a net increase of $3,317 thousand in comparison with the prior year.
Approximately 60.3% of this amount or $29,974 thousand is composed of unassigned fund balance,
which is available for spending at the City's discretion. The City's remainder or residual fund balance
is either nonspendable, restricted, committed, or assigned to indicate that it is 1)not spendable in form
($99 thousand), 2) restricted for particular purposes ($5,029 thousand), 3) committed for particular
purposes($504 thousand),or 4)assigned for particular purposes($14,056 thousand).
The General Fund is the primary operating governmental fund of the City of Spokane Valley where
most receipts and payments of ordinary city operations are processed.See table 3,below.

Sales and property taxes are the major revenue sources. At the end of 2014, unassigned fund balance
was $29,973 thousand, while total fund balance increased to $30,327 thousand. As a measure of the
General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unassigned fund balance and total fund
balance to total governmental funds expenditures. Unassigned fund balance in the general fund
represents approximately 64.6% of the total governmental funds expenditures,while total general fund
balance of $30,327 thousand represents approximately 65.3% of that same amount in total
governmental funds expenditures See table 3.

change in fund balance was greater than the final budgeted projections.

savings in expenditures of$2,755 thousand; giving the City a positive variance in excess of revenues
over expenditures of$3,676 thousand for 2014. Actual negative revenue variances in miscellaneous
revenues of ($49) thousand, ($30) thousand in intergovernmental and ($18) in investment interest
coupled with revenue increases in tax revenue of $619 thousand, licenses and permits of $270

ECONOMIC FACTORS
The following economic factors currently affect the City of Spokane Valley and were considered in
developing the 2014-2015 fiscal year budgets.
The outlook for the City of Spokane Valley economy was projected based on statistics generated in
Spokane County. There is estimated to be over 4,000 businesses located in Spokane Valley with
estimated taxable retail sales of$1.97 billion for 2014. The City of Spokane Valley received $19,779
thousand, an increase of$1,058 thousand from the prior year,in sales tax dollars for 2014.
Overall, Spokane County gained about 1,500 jobs in 2014, compared to 250 jobs in 2013. The current
year's increase in jobs left the county with an estimated average of 208,950 jobs for the year,which is
down more than 9,500 jobs from the peak in 2008. Despite the modest gain of jobs in 2014, the
Spokane County area wide unemployment rate fell to 7.1%, down (.8%) from the previous year.
Spokane County's fastest growing non-farm employment sector is professional services. This sector is
predicted to grow the most through 2022. Population growth has been steady within the City of
Spokane Valley,increasing to 92,050 and growing over 12% since incorporation in 2003.
The total number of Single family residential building permits Spokane County area-wide (including
the City of Spokane and the City of Spokane Valley) decreased to 828 in 2014 (down from 1,009
permits issued in 2013). Additionally, total 2014 nonresidential building permits for the City of
Spokane Valley jumped to 233 permits, an increase of 142 from the prior year.
Housing prices and sales increased for the fourth straight year in the Spokane area for 2014. The
median price of a home in the Spokane metropolitan area was approximately $178,300 in 2014,which
is roughly ($30,000) lower than the U.S. median price of$208,700. The 2014 average reported price
of a home in the area was $186,275, up 2% from 2013. The City of Spokane Valley's assessed value
increased 3.1% to 7.2 billion in 2014. The City's property tax levy rate for 2014 was near $1.545 per
thousand of assessed value.
The City of Spokane Valley contracts with Spokane County and several public service districts for
many city services including street maintenance,public safety, library, and fire protection. This allows
the City to hold the number of full-time employees to 87.25. Employee salaries and related benefits
are the leading cost for much of the city's operations. In a 2014 study, a comparison of 31 cities with a
populations of 100,000 or less was conducted within the State of Washington and the City of Spokane
Valley had the fewest number of employees based on Washington cities with a population greater than
50,000 and over.

2015 general fund budget. A telephone utility tax of 6%was collected during 2014 in the City's Street
Fund.
During the fiscal year of 2014,unassigned fund balance in the general fund was$29,973,504. The City
of Spokane Valley's total recurring 2015 general fund expenditure budget is $38,338,882 as compared
17
to $36,898,910 in 2014. This means that the general fund recurring expenditure budget only increased
by 3.90% as compared to 2014. The 2015 budget presumes service levels that are consistent with
those provided in 2014 with neither significant enhancements nor reductions in any area of operations.

Reconciliation of the Balance sheet of Governmental Funds
To the Statement ofNet Position
December 31, 2014
Total governmental fund balances: $49,661,625
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement
of net position are different because:
Capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial
resources. This amount reflects the initial investment in
capital assets and are not reported in the funds. 83,212,500
Certain earned tax revenues will be collected after year end and will not
be available until after year end to pay for current expenditures; and
therefore reported as unearned revenues in the funds.
These revenues consist of:
Sales and use taxes 1,964,818
Motor fuel taxes 152,598
Hotel/Motel taxes 27,092
Total 2,144,508
Other long-term assets are not available to pay for current-
period expenditures and therefore are reported as unearned in the funds:
Property taxes 321,108
Intergovernmental 330,113
Charges for services 66,358
Miscellaneous 459,449
Total 1,177,028
Interest on long-term debt is not accrued in governmental funds,
but rather is recognized as an expenditure when due. (29,819)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of
certain activities, such as equipment rental and self insurance, to the
individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service fund
are included in governmental activities in the statement of net position. 1,404,002
Long-term liabilities, including capital leases payable and accrued
interest payable, are not due and payable in the current
period and therefore are not reported in the funds:
Bonds payable (6,675,000)
Premium on bond issuance (630,556)
Compensated Absences (402,106)
Total (7,707,662)

Reconciliation of the Statement of Revenues, Expenditures and Changes
in Fund Balances of Governmental Funds to the Statement of Activities
For the Year Ended December 31, 2014
Net change in fund balances -total governmental funds: $3,317,094
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the statement
of activities are different because:
Governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures. However, in the statement
of activities,the cost of those assets is allocated over their estimated useful lives
as depreciation expense.This is the amount by which capital outlays and contributions
exceeded depreciation in the current period:
Depreciation (5,877,410)
Capital outlay 7,202,193 1,324,783
Revenues in the statement of activities that do not provide current financial
resources are not reported as revenues in the governmental funds:
Sales and use taxes 71,403
Property taxes (86,942)
Excise taxes (2,582)
Other taxes (57,480)
Miscellaneous 448,968
Capital-operating grants and contributions (511,209) (137,842)
Net effect of various and miscellaneous transactions involving capital assets
(i.e,sales,donations, and disposals)is a decrease to Net Position: (1,603,598)
The issuance of long-term debt(e.g., bonds, leases) provides cuurent financial
resources to governmental funds,while the repayment of the principal of long-term
debt consumes current financial resources of governmental funds. Neither
transaction, however has nay effect on net position.Also,governmental funds
report the effect of issuance costs, premiums,discounts, and similar transactions
when debt is first isssued or refunded,whereas these amounts are deferred and
amortized in the statement of activities.This amount is the net effect of these
differences in the application of long-term debt and related items: 985,694
Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require
the use of current financial resources and therefore are not reported
as expenditures in governmental funds:
Compensated absences (52,241)
Premium espense on LTGO'14 refunding bonds (625,127)
Accrued LTGO'03 bond Interest expense (114,304) (791,672)
Internal service funds are used by management to charge the costs of fleet
and risk management individual funds.The net revenue (expense)of certain
activities of internal service funds is reported with governmental activities: 199,265
Total Change in Net Position of Governmental Activities
as shown on the Statement of Activities: $3,293,724

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
A.Description of government-wide financial statements
The government-wide financial statements(i.e.,the statement of net position and the statement of activities)report
information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the primary government. Governmental-type activities, which
normally are supported by taxes,intergovernmental revenues, and other nonexchange transactions,are reported separately
from Business-Type Activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges generated by external customers for
support.
B.Reporting entity
The City of Spokane Valley,Washington(the City)was incorporated on March 31,2003. The City operates under a
Council–Manager Form of government. The City's major operations,as authorized under the laws of the State of
Washington applicable to a non-charter city code,include planning and zoning,public safety,public works, and recreation
and culture.
The accounting and reporting policies of the City relate to the accompanying financial statements of the City of Spokane
Valley,Washington which have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles(GAAP) as
applied to state and local governmental entities. GAAP for local governments include those principles prescribed by the
Governmental Accounting Standards Board(GASB)which is the accepted standard-setting body for establishing
governmental accounting and financial reporting principles,the Financial Accounting Standards Board(FASB),when
applicable,and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants(AICPA)pronouncements that have been made
applicable by GASB Statements or Interpretations.
As required by GAAP the City's financial statements present the City of Spokane Valley–the primary government.
There are no component units(either blended or discretely presented)included in these statements.
C.Basis of presentation -government-wide and fund financial statements
While separate government-wide (reporting the City as a whole) and fund financial statements(reporting the City's major
funds) are presented to report the City's financial position and the results of operations,they are both interrelated. The
governmental-type activities column incorporates data from the governmental funds and internal service funds,while
business-type activities categorize data from the government's enterprise funds.
As a general rule,the effect of interfund activity has been removed from the government-wide financial statements.
Exceptions to this general rule are payments in lieu of taxes where amounts are reasonably equivalent in value to the
interfund services provided and other charges between the City's Stormwater functions and various other functions and
activities within the government. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and program revenues
reported in these various functions concerned.As discussed earlier, Governmental activities,which normally are
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business-type activities,which rely to a
significant extent on fees and charges created by those external customers.
The statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset
by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Our
policy is not to allocate indirect costs to a specific function or segment. Program revenues include 1)charges to customers
or applicants who purchase,use,or directly benefit from goods, services,or privileges provided by a given function or
segment and 2)grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or capital requirements or a
particular function or segment.Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead
as general revenues.
35
City of Spokane Valley
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued:
Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. The City has no fiduciary
funds.Major individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in the
fund financial statements.All remaining governmental and enterprise funds are combined,aggregated, and reported as
non-major funds.
D.Measurement focus,basis of accounting, and financial statement presentation
The accounting and financial reporting treatment is determined by the applicable measurement focus and basis of
accounting.Measurement focus indicates the type of resources being measured such as,current financial resources or
economic resources.The basis of accounting indicates the timing of transactions or events for recognition in the
financial statements.
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual
basis of accounting,as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are
recorded when a liability is incurred,regardless of the timing of related cash flows.Property taxes are recognized as
revenues in the year for which they are levied. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility
requirements imposed by the provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the
modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available.
Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to
pay liabilities of the current period.For this purpose,the City considers revenues to be available if they are collected
within 30 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred,as
under accrual accounting.However,debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences
and claims and judgments,are recorded only when payment is due. General capital asset acquisitions are reported as
expenditures in governmental funds. Issuance of long-term debt and acquisitions under capital leases are reported as other
financing sources.
Property taxes,franchise fees,licenses, and interest associated within the current period are all considered to be
susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period. Only the portion of special
assessment receivable due within the current fiscal period is considered to be susceptible to accrual as revenue of the
current period. Expenditure-driven grants are recognized as revenue when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred
and all other eligibility requirements have been satisfied, and the amount is received during the period or within the
availability period for this revenue source usually within 60 days of the fiscal year end.All other revenue items are
considered to be measurable and available only when cash is received by the City (modified basis of accounting).
The city reports the following major governmental funds:
The General Fund: is the City's primary operating fund. It accounts for all fmancial resources of the City's general
government,except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
The Street Fund: This Special revenue fund is responsible for the street operating and maintenance service levels of
all Spokane Valley city streets and bridges. It utilizes the receipts received from the motor vehicle fuel tax(MVFT)
distributed to the City in accordance with the State Revised Codes of Washington(RCW 82.36.020) and receipts from
the City Telephone Tax implemented in 2009. Most of the service levels to the city streets during 2014 are the same
or greater than provided for compared to 2013.
Capital Reserve Fund: accounts for the accumulation of resources for a number of future capital projects. Revenues
include transfers from the General Fund.
36
City of Spokane Valley
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued:
The city reports the following major proprietary funds:
The Stormwater Management Fund: accounts for the receipt and expenditure of the stormwater management fee. The
expenditures are used for stormwater control,construction, and management.
The Aquifer Protection Area Fund: accounts for aquifer protection area fees collected by Spokane County and
remitted to the City. The expenditures are used for projects that protect the aquifer.
Additionally,the government reports the following non-major fund types:
Special revenue funds: accounts for Arterial Street construction,Hotel/Motel tax revenues and expenditures,Winter
Weather Reserve, and revenues and expenditures for the Trails and Paths Fund.
Debt service fund: accounts for the resources accumulated and payments made for principal and interest on general
government debt except those to be accounted for in another fund.
Capital project funds: accounts for the acquisition or development of capital facilities for governmental activities.
Their major sources of revenues are from proceeds of general obligation bonds,grants from other agencies,and
contributions from other funds.
Internal service funds: accounts for computer hardware/software,equipment,vehicle replacement,and risk
management services provided to other departments on a cost reimbursement basis.
Amounts reported as program revenues include 1)charges to customers,2)operating grants and contributions,and 3)
capital grants and contributions,including special assessments. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general
revenues rather than program revenues. General revenues include all taxes.
Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating revenues and expenses
generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's
principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the Stormwater Management Fund and Aquifer
Protection Area Fund are stormwater management fees, aquifer protection area fees from Spokane County,and
government grants. Operating expenses for enterprise funds and internal service funds include the cost of sales and
services, administrative expenses, and depreciation on capital assets.All revenues and expenses not meeting this
definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
E.Budgetary information
1. Budgetary basis of accounting
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for all funds on a basis consistent with generally accepted accounting principles.
The governmental funds are budgeted on the modified accrual basis of accounting whereas the basis of accounting for
proprietary funds is full accrual. Legal budgetary control(i.e.,the level at which expenditures may not legally exceed
appropriations)is established at the fund level. Subsidiary revenue and expenditure ledgers are used to compare the
budgeted amounts with actual revenues and expenditures. As a management control device,the subsidiary ledgers are
used to monitor expenditures for individual functions and activities by object class.
2. Procedures for adopting the original budget
The City's budget procedures are mandated by the Revised Code of Washington 35A.33. The following are key
procedural steps in the City's budget development process. Note that the process and dates are for the 2014 budget
process and may be changed for future processes:
• In April,the official"budget call"required by State law is made to all department directors or fund managers.
Budget development instructions and other materials are provided to the departments at this time.
37
City of Spokane Valley
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued:
• In June departments submit revenue and expenditure estimates to the Finance department. The City Council and
City management staff discuss City goals and priorities and reaffirms overall City priorities,vision,and mission
at a mid-year retreat. Additional policy guidance is provided throughout the year.
• In July the Finance department submits the preliminary budget to the City Manager.
• In August the City Manager submits estimates on the current year's revenue and expenditures for the upcoming
year to the council.During August,preliminary budget documents were prepared,printed and filed with City
Clerk. This proposed budget is presented to the City Clerk and copies are made available to the public. The
Council sets the dates of the preliminary and final budget hearings.
• Before December 31St the City Council,by a majority vote,will adopt the budget by ordinance,establishing the
budget appropriation for the year.
• The approved budget is published and distributed during the first quarter of the following year. Copies are made
available to the public.
• Monthly budget monitoring reports are produced by the Finance Department to report on actual performance
compared to budget estimates and to identify any remedial actions that may be needed.
3. Amending the budget
The budget, as adopted,constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. The City's budget is adopted at the fund level,so
that expenditures may not legally exceed appropriations at that level of detail. 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 effect 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 approved by one more than the majority after holding a
public hearing.
The City's budget was amended once during fiscal year 2014. The financial statements contain the original and final
budget information. The original budget is the first complete appropriated budget. The final budget is the original budget
adjusted by all reserves,transfers, allocations, supplemental appropriations, and other legally authorized changes. Annual
appropriations for all funds lapse at the end of the fiscal period even if they have related encumbrances. Unexpended
resources must be re-appropriated and become part of the subsequent period's budget pursuant to Washington States
regulations.
4. Excess of expenditures over appropriations
For the year ending December 31,2014,no material violations of finance related legal or contractual provisions occurred.
The Civic Buildings Capital Projects Fund exceeded legal appropriations for the fiscal year. The Street Fund Special
Revenue type fund exceeded its legal appropriation by$9,047 or .021%. The overage resulted from receiving unexpected
invoices related to a Transportation Street project and was funded by miscellaneous revenues in excess of the amount
expected and from beginning fund balance.
5. Deficit Net Position
The City did not have any funds with a deficit fund net position as of December 31,2014.
F.Assets,liabilities,unearned revenues, deferred inflows of resources, and net position/fund balance
1. Cash and cash equivalents
The City considers all highly liquid assets including demand deposits,petty cash,money market accounts,certificates of
deposit(CD's),investments in the Washington State Treasurer's Local Government Investment Pool(LGIP),and short-
term investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of acquisition as cash and cash equivalents. These
amounts are classified on the balance sheet or in the statement of net position within cash and cash equivalents in the
various funds. The interest on these investments is prorated to the applicable funds and the City's policy has been to hold
its investments until maturity in an attempt to reduce market fluctuation risk. Investments of the City can be drawn down
on demand.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued:
2.Investments
As authorized by Washington state law,the City is allowed to invest in obligations of: the U.S.Treasury,commercial
paper,certificates of deposits,money market funds,mutual funds,and the Washington State Treasurer's Local
Government Investment Pool(LGIP).
Investments for the City of Spokane Valley are reported at fair value at December 31,2014.The Washington State
Treasurer's Local Government Investment Pool(LGIP)operates in accordance with the Security Exchange Commission's
(SEC)Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other appropriate state laws and regulations. The fair value
of the LGIP portfolio is calculated by a master custodian or by an independent pricing service under contract with the
State Treasurer's Office.The reported fair value of the City's pool position in the State of Washington's LGIP is the same
as the fair value of the pool shares(refer to note 4).
3.Receivables
Taxes receivable consists of property taxes and related interest and penalties. Accrued interest receivable consists of
amounts earned on investments,notes, and contracts.Grants receivable consist of amounts due from other governments
for work performed on reimbursement-type grants. Customer accounts receivable/payable consist of amounts owed
from/to private individuals or organizations for goods and services including amounts owed. Receivables have been
reported net of estimated uncollectible accounts. Because property taxes and special assessments are considered liens on
property,no estimated uncollectible amounts are established. Grants receivable are considered fully collectible and no
estimated uncollectible amounts are established.
4.Amounts due to and from other funds,interfund loans and advances receivable
During the course of operations the City of Spokane Valley has activity between funds for various purposes.Any residual
balances outstanding at year end are reported as due from/to other funds.While these balances are reported in the fund
financial statements,certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide financial statements.
Balances between funds included in governmental-type activities(i.e.,the governmental and internal service funds) are
eliminated so that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the governmental-type activities column.
Similarly,balances between the funds included in business-type activities(i.e.,the proprietary funds) are eliminated so
that only the net amount is included as internal balances in the business-type activities column (refer to note 9).
Further,certain activity occurs during the year involving transfers of resources between funds. In the fund financial
statements these amounts are reported at gross amounts of transfers in/out.While reported in fund fmancial statements,
certain eliminations are made in the preparation of the government-wide fmancial statements. Transfers between the funds
included in governmental-type activities are eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the
governmental-type activities column. Similarly,balances between the funds included in business-type activities are
eliminated so that only the net amount is included as transfers in the business-type activities column(refer to note 9).
5.Inventories and prepaid items
Reported inventories in the governmental and proprietary funds consist of expendable supplies held for consumption and
are valued at cost using first-in/first-out(FIFO)method. The cost of such inventories is recorded as expenditure/expenses
at the time individual inventory items when consumed rather than when purchased. Certain payments to vendors reflect
costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as prepaid items in both the government-wide and fund
statements.The cost of prepaid items is recorded as expenditures/expenses when consumed rather than when it was
purchased.
6. Capital assets
Capital assets include: property,plant,equipment,infrastructure assets(e.g.roads,bridges, sidewalks, and similar items),
and are reported in the applicable governmental or business-type columns in the government-wide financial statements.
The City defines capital assets,including infrastructure assets as assets with an initial and individual cost of more than
$5,000, and an estimated useful life in excess of four years. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated
historical cost if purchased or constructed. Donated assets are recorded at estimated fair market value at the date of
39
City of Spokane Valley
Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued:
donation.The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially extend assets
lives are not capitalized.
Major outlays for capital assets and improvements are capitalized as projects are constructed. Interest incurred during the
construction phase of capital assets of proprietary/business-type activities is included as part of the capitalized value of the
assets constructed and the amount of interest capitalized depends on the specific circumstances(refer to note 6).There
were no interest expenses incurred during 2014 that were included as part of the cost of capital assets under construction.
Land and construction in progress(CIP)are not depreciated. The other property,plant,equipment, and infrastructure of
the primary government are depreciated using the straight line method over the following estimated service lives:
Buildings and improvements 10 - 60 years
Infrastructure 5 - 40 years
Light/Heavy duty transportation equipment 5 - 10 years
Other equipment 2 - 20 years
Office and computer equipment 3 - 5 years
7.Unearned revenues and deferred outflows/inflows of resources
The City of Spokane Valley currently has one source that qualifies for reporting as a deferred outflow/inflow of resources
for fiscal year 2014 under this standard. This source consists of traffic mitigation fees and Washington State Office of
Public Defense grant funds received in advance.
8. Compensated absences
Compensated absences are absences for which employees will be paid,such as vacation and sick leave. Vacation pay,
which may be accumulated up to 360 hours,is payable upon resignation,retirement,or death. All vacation pay is accrued
when incurred in the government-wide,proprietary and fund financial statements. An additional amount has been accrued
for the city's share of Medicare taxes and the Social Security substitute plan related to vacation accruals.A liability for
these amounts is reported in the government fund statements only if they have matured for example,the result of an
employee resignation and or retirement.
9. Other Accrued Liabilities
These accounts consist primarily of accrued wages and employee benefits and deposits payable.
Refer to note 13—Receivable and Payable Balances.
10.Long-Term Debt
Refer to note 11—Long-Term Obligations and Leases.
11.Unearned Revenues
The unearned revenues account is used to offset receivables established in the governmental fund financial statement for
certain revenues that are measurable but not considered available to finance payment of current obligations, and,
therefore,are not susceptible to accrual on the modified accrual basis.When the receivable amounts are collected in future
periods,this liability account is reduced and corresponding revenue is recorded.Unearned revenues represented in this
manner on the accompanying financial statements are: uncollected property taxes levied,uncollected road taxes levied,
sales and use taxes,motor fuel taxes,hotel/motel taxes,and reimbursement-type grants received outside the period of
availability.
12.Net position flow assumption (GASB Statement No.63)
Sometimes the City of Spokane Valley will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted(e.g.,grant proceeds
or street construction and maintenance) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate these amounts to report as
restricted--net position and unrestricted--net position in the government-wide and proprietary fund financial statements,
a flow assumption must be made about the order in which these resources are considered to be applied and used.The City
considers restricted—net position to have been depleted before unrestricted--net position is applied.

NOTE 1—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES continued:
13.Fund balance flow assumptions
Sometimes the City of Spokane Valley will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted and unrestricted
resources(the total committed, assigned and unassigned fund balance). In order to calculate the amounts to report as
restricted,committed,assigned, and unassigned fund balance in the City's governmental fund financial statements, a flow
assumption must be made about the order in which these resources are considered to be applied and used.When both
restricted and unrestricted fund balances are available for use;the City depletes restricted fund balance first before using
any of the components of unrestricted fund balance. Similarly,within unrestricted fund balance can be used for the same
purpose,committed fund balance amounts are reduced first, followed by assigned fund balance, and then unassigned fund
balance amounts are used when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund
balance classifications could be applied.
14.Fund balance policies
Fund balance of governmental funds is reported in various categories based on the nature of any limitations requiring the
use of these financial resources for specific purposes.The City of Spokane Valley itself can establish limitations on the
use of its financial resources through either a commitment(committed fund balance)or an assignment(assigned fund
balance).
Nonspendable fund balance includes items that cannot be spent. This includes activity that is not in a spendable form
(inventories,prepaid amounts,long-term portion of loans/notes receivable,or property held for resale unless the proceeds
are restricted,committed or assigned) and activity that is legally or contractually required to remain intact, such as a
principal balance in a permanent fund.
Restricted fund balances have constraints placed upon the use of the resources either by an external party or imposed by
law through a constitutional provision or enabling legislation.
Committed fund balance classification includes amounts that can be used only for specific purposes pursuant to
constraints imposed by a formal action of the City Council,the City's highest level of decision-making authority. The
City council is the highest level of decision-making authority for the City that can,by adoption of an ordinance prior to
the end of the fiscal year,commit fund balance. Once adopted,the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place
until similar action is taken(adoption of another ordinance)to remove or revise the limitation.
Assigned fund balance includes amounts that are constrained by the City's intent to be used for a specific purpose,but are
neither restricted nor committed. The City Council can by resolution authorize the Finance Director to assign fund
balance.Unlike commitments,assignments generally only exist temporarily.No formal or additional action is required by
the City Council to remove an assignment.For governmental funds,other than the General Fund,this is the residual
amount within the fund that is not restricted or committed.
Unassigned fund balance is the residual amount of the General Fund not included in the four categories described above.
Also, any deficit fund balances within the other governmental fund types are reported as unassigned.
As discussed earlier,the City does not have a fund balance spending prioritization policy. Therefore,restricted resources
are used first when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which either restricted or unrestricted(committed, assigned,
and unassigned)amounts are available. Similarly,within unrestricted fund balance,committed amounts are reduced first
followed by assigned, and then unassigned amounts when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in
any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used.
Minimum Fund Balance–The City has a policy of maintaining a minimum General Fund ending fund balance of at least
fifty percent of recurring general fund expenditures,which represents approximately six months of General Fund
operations.

NOTE 2—RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:
A. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund balance sheet and the government-wide
statement of net position
The governmental fund statements include reconciliations between the fund statements and the government-wide
statements. Differences that make reconciliations necessary include the two differing measurement focuses and basis of
accounting, accrual and modified accrual between the statements.
The governmental fund balance includes reconciliations between fund balance—total governmental funds and net position
—governmental activities as reported in the government—wide statement of net position. One element of that reconciliation
explains that "long-term liabilities, including bonds payable and accrued interest, are not due and payable in the current
period and therefore are not reported in the funds."The details of the $(7,707,662)difference are as follows:
Bonds payable $ (6,675,000)
Premium on bond issuance (630,556)
Compensated absences (402,106)
Net adjustment to reduce fund balance-total governmental funds
to arrive at net position-governmental activities $ (7,707,662)
Another element of that reconciliation explains the "Internal service funds are used by management to charge the cost of
certain activities, such as health insurance costs to the individual funds. The assets and liabilities of the internal service
fund are included in governmental activities in the statement of net position."The details of the $1,404,002 difference are
as follows.
Net position of the internal service fund $ 1,542,079
Less: Governmental type Internal Service Capital Assets (138,077)
Net adjustment to increase fund balance-total governmental funds $ 1,404,002
to arrive at net position governmental activities
Also,another element of the reconciliation explains that capital assets used in governmental activities are not financial
resources and the balance reflects the initial investment in capital assets therefore,"governmental funds do not report
capital assets."The details of the $83,913,708 difference are as follows:
Land $ 6,892,688
Construction in Progress 6,175,886
Total non-depreciable capital assets 13,068,574
Depreciable capital assets $ 310,218,879
Less: Accumulated depreciation-depreciable assets (240,074,953)
Total depreciable capital assets,net of accumulated depreciation 70,143,926
Net adjustment to increase fund balance-total governmental funds
to arrive at net position-governmental activities $ 83,212,500

NOTE 2—RECONCILIATION OF GOVERNMENT-WIDE AND FUND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS continued:
Certain earned tax revenues were collected and other long-term assets will not be available until after the year end to pay
for current expenditures; and therefore represent an acquisition of net position that applies to future period(s)and will not

B. Explanation of certain differences between the governmental fund statement of revenues, expenditures, and
changes in fund balances and the government-wide statement of activities
The governmental fund statement of revenues,expenditures,and changes in fund balances includes this reconciliation
between net changes in fund balances—total governmental funds and changes in net position of governmental activities
as reported in the government-wide statement of activities. One element of that reconciliation explains that
"governmental funds report capital outlays as expenditures.However,in the statement of activities,the cost of these assets
is allocated over their estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.This is the amount by which capital outlays
exceeded depreciation expenses in the current period."The details of this$1,324,783 difference are as follows:
Capital outlay $ 7,202,193
Depreciation expense (5,877,410)
Net adjustment to increase net changes in fund balances-total
governmental funds to arrive at changes in net position of governmental
activities $ 1,324,783
This is the amount by which Bond payable repayments in the amount of$985,694 exceeded bond proceeds.
Net effect of disposals of Capital Assets($1,603,598)decreasing net position.
Another element of the reconciliation states that"some long-term revenues in the statement of activities that do not
provide current financial resources to governmental funds are not reported as revenues in the funds." The details of this
$(137,842)difference are as follows:
Unearned revenue-property taxes $ (86,942)
Unearned revenue-sales&use taxes 71,403
Unearned revenue-excise taxes (2,582)

agency issues,obligations of the State of Washington,general obligation of Washington State municipalities the State
Treasurer's Local Government Investment Pool(LGIP Revised Code of Washington RCW 43.250),and certificates of
deposit(CDs)with Washington State banks and savings and loan institutions.Also, State law limits these investments to
the highest ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations(NRSROs). It is the City of Spokane
Valley's policy to limit its investments in these investment types to the highest ratings issued by NRSROs.As of
December 31,2014,the City of Spokane Valley's investment in the State Treasurer's investment pool was rated AA+by
Standard&Poor's. The City of Spokane Valley's investments in commercial paper was rated Al by Standard&Poor's.
Concentration of credit risk: The City of Spokane Valley's investment policy does not allow for an investment in any one
issuer that is in excess of the Federal Depository Insurance (FDIC)coverage and the Washington Public Deposit
Protection Commission (PDPC)of the City's total investments.
Custodial credit risk-deposits: In the case of deposits,this is the risk that in the event of a bank failure,the City's deposits
may not be returned or recovered.The City of Spokane Valley maintains a deposit policy for custodial credit risk by
limiting deposits and certificates of deposits to be covered by(FDIC)or through collateral held in a multiple financial
institution collateral pool administered by the Washington Public Deposit Protection Commission(PDPC).
The PDPC is a statutory authority established under Chapter 39.58 of the Revised Code of Washington and provides an
additional level of security for The City of Spokane Valley's deposits.As of December 31,2014,the City of Spokane
Valley's total bank balance of$5,232,154 was insured and covered by the FDIC and the Washington State PDPC pool and
therefore,was not exposed to any custodial credit risk-deposits. These banks deposits were in a State authorized public
depository and were within the State limit of the depositaries(bank's)net worth per RCW 39.58.010 and RCW 39.58.135.
Custodial credit risk-investments: Investments in the State's LGIP are shown on the entity-wide Statement of Net Position
at fair market value and comparable to a Rule 2a-7 money market fund regulated by The Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC, 17CFR.270.2a-7). The City's investments can be categorized to give an indication of risk assumed at
year-end. Category 1 includes investments that are insured,registered,or held by the City or its agent in the City's name.
Category 2 includes uninsured and unregistered investments,which are held by the counterparty's trust department or
agent in the City's name. Category 3 includes uninsured and unregistered investments for which the securities are held by
the counterparty's trust department or agent,but not in the City's name. The City had no Category 1,2,or 3 type
investments in their investment portfolio as of December 31,2014.
NOTE 5—PROPERTY TAXES:
The County Treasurer acts as an agent to collect property taxes levied in the county for all taxing authorities. The County
Assessor is responsible for determining what the individual property taxes are,based upon the monies requested by the
taxing districts and the assessed valuation within these districts.
Taxes are levied annually on January 1st on property values assessed as of the prior year May 31St. Assessed values are
established by the County Assessor at 100% of fair market value. A revaluation of all property is required every four
years. Taxes are due in two equal installments on April 30th and October 31St. Tax liens are automatic at the point the
taxes are levied.
Property taxes levied for the current year are recorded as a receivable when levied,offset by unearned revenue. During the
year,property tax revenues are recognized when cash is collected. At year-end,property tax revenues are recognized for
collections to be distributed by the County Treasurer in January. No allowance for uncollectible taxes is established
because delinquent taxes are considered fully collectible. Prior year tax levies were recorded using the same principal, and
delinquent taxes are evaluated annually.For 2014,the City's regular levy was $11,077,144 based on the 2013 assessed
value of$7,168,991,028.

NOTE 5—PROPERTY TAXES continued:
The tax rate for general City operations is limited by State law (RCW 84.52.043)to $3.60 per$1,000 of assessed
valuation,deducting from there the levy of$1.50 by the Spokane County Fire Districts#1 and#8, and$.50 for Library
Districts,which leaves the City with the authority to levy$1.60 for its own purposes. This amount may be reduced for
any of the following reasons:
(1) The Washington State Constitution limits the total regular property taxes to one percent of assessed valuation or$10
per$1,000 of value. If the taxes of all districts exceed this amount,each is proportionately reduced until the total is at
or below the one-percent limit.
(2) Initiative 747 passed by the voters in November of 2001 limits the amount by which a taxing jurisdiction can increase
the amount of its regular property tax levy to the lesser of the Implicit Price Deflator(IPD)or one percent,plus
adjustments for new construction and annexations. Tax increases higher than one percent must be approved by the
voters at an election held according to(RCW 84.55.050.) A simple majority vote is required.
(3) The City may voluntarily levy taxes below the legal limit.

NOTE 7—PENSION PLANS:
Substantially all City of Spokane Valley's full-time and qualifying part-time employees participate in one of the following
statewide retirement systems administered by the Washington State Department of Retirement Systems,under cost-
sharing multiple-employer public employee defined benefit retirement plans. The Department of Retirement Systems
(DRS), a department within the primary government of the State of Washington,issues a publicly available
comprehensive annual financial report(CAFR)that includes financial statements and required supplementary information
for each plan. The DRS CAFR may be obtained by writing to: Department of Retirement Systems, Communications Unit,
P.O. Box 48380, Olympia,WA 98504-8380; or it may be downloaded from the DRS website at www.drs.wa.gov. The
following disclosures are made pursuant to GASB Statements 27,Accounting for Pensions by State and Local
Government Employers and 50,Pension Disclosures, an Amendment of GASB Statements 25 and 27.
Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS)Plans 1, 2, and 3
Plan Description
The Legislature established PERS in 1947. Membership in the system includes: elected officials; state employees;
employees of the Supreme,Appeals, and Superior courts; employees of legislative committees; employees of district and
municipal courts; and employees of local governments. Membership also includes higher education employees not
participating in higher education retirement programs. Approximately 49 percent of PERS salaries are accounted for by
state employment. PERS retirement benefit provisions are established in Chapters 41.34 and 41.40 RCW and may be
amended only by the State Legislature.
PERS is a cost-sharing multiple-employer retirement system comprised of three separate plans for membership purposes:
Plans 1 and 2 are defined benefit plans and Plan 3 is a defmed benefit plan with a defmed contribution component.
PERS members who joined the system by September 30, 1977 are Plan 1 members. Those who joined on or after October
1, 1977, and by either,February 28,2002,for state and higher education employees,or August 31,2002, for local
government employees,are Plan 2 members unless they exercised an option to transfer their membership to Plan 3. PERS
members joining the system on or after March 1,2002,for state and higher education employees,or September 1,2002,
for local government employees have the irrevocable option of choosing membership in either PERS Plan 2 or Plan 3.
The option must be exercised within 90 days of employment. Employees who fail to choose within 90 days default to
Plan 3.
PERS is comprised of and reported as three separate plans for accounting purposes: Plan 1,Plan 2/3, and Plan 3. Plan 1
accounts for the defined benefits of Plan 1 members. Plan 2/3 accounts for the defined benefits of Plan 2 members,and
the defined benefit portion of benefits for Plan 3 members. Plan 3 accounts for the defined contribution portion of
benefits for Plan 3 members. Although members can only be a member of either Plan 2 or Plan 3,the defined benefit
portions of Plan 2 and Plan 3 are accounted for in the same pension trust fund. All assets of this Plan 2/3 may legally be
used to pay the defined benefits of any of the Plan 2 or Plan 3 members or beneficiaries,as defined by the terms of the
plan. Therefore,Plan 2/3 is considered to be a single plan for accounting purposes.
PERS Plan 1 and Plan 2 retirement benefits are financed from a combination of investment earnings and employer and
employee contributions. Employee contributions to the PERS Plan 1 and Plan 2 defined benefit plans accrue interest at a
rate specified by the Director of DRS. During DRS' Fiscal Year 2013,the rate was five and one-half percent
compounded quarterly. Members in PERS Plan 1 and Plan 2 can elect to withdraw total employee contributions and
interest thereon,in lieu of any retirement benefit,upon separation from PERS-covered employment.
PERS Plan 1 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible service.
PERS Plan 1 members are eligible for retirement from active status at any age with at least 30 years of service,at age 55
with 25 years of service,or at age 60 with at least 5 years of service. Plan 1 members retiring from inactive status prior to
the age of 65 may receive actuarially reduced benefits.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 7—PENSION PLANS continued:
The monthly benefit is 2 percent of the average final compensation(AFC)per year of service,but the benefit may not
exceed 60 percent of the AFC. The AFC is the monthly average of the 24 consecutive highest-paid service credit months.
PERS Plan 1 retirement benefits are actuarially reduced to reflect the choice,if made,of a survivor option.
Plan 1 members may elect to receive an optional COLA that provides an automatic annual adjustment based on the
Consumer Price Index. The adjustment is capped at 3 percent annually. To offset the cost of this annual adjustment,the
benefit is reduced.
PERS Plan 1 provides duty and non-duty disability benefits. Duty disability retirement benefits for disablement prior to
the age of 60 consist of a temporary life annuity. The benefit amount is $350 a month,or two-thirds of the monthly AFC,
whichever is less. The benefit is reduced by any workers' compensation benefit and is payable as long as the member
remains disabled or until the member attains the age of 60, at which time the benefit is converted to the member's service
retirement amount.
A member with five years of covered employment is eligible for non-duty disability retirement. Prior to the age of 55,the
benefit amount is 2 percent of the AFC for each year of service reduced by 2 percent for each year that the member's age
is less than 55. The total benefit is limited to 60 percent of the AFC and is actuarially reduced to reflect the choice of a
survivor option. Plan 1 members may elect to receive an optional COLA amount(based on the Consumer Price Index),
capped at 3 percent annually. To offset the cost of this annual adjustment,the benefit is reduced.
PERS Plan 2 members are vested after the completion of five years of eligible service. Plan 2 members are eligible for
normal retirement at the age of 65 with five years of service. The monthly benefit is 2 percent of the AFC per year of
service. The AFC is the monthly average of the 60 consecutive highest-paid service months. There is no cap on years of
service credit; and a cost-of-living allowance is granted(based on the Consumer Price Index),capped at 3 percent
annually.
PERS Plan 2 members who have at least 20 years of service credit,and are 55 years of age or older,are eligible for early
retirement with a reduced benefit. The benefit is reduced by an early retirement factor(ERF)that varies according to age,
for each year before age 65.
PERS Plan 2 members who have 30 or more years of service credit and are at least 55 years old can retire under one of
two provisions,if hired prior to May 1,2013:
• With a benefit that is reduced by 3 percent for each year before age 65;or
• With a benefit that has a smaller(or no)reduction(depending on age)that imposes stricter return-to-work rules.
PERS Plan 2 members hired on or after May 1,2013 have the option to retire early by accepting a reduction of 5 percent
for each year of retirement before age 65. This option is available only to those who are age 55 or older and have at least
30 years of service.
PERS Plan 2 retirement benefits are actuarially reduced to reflect the choice,if made,of a survivor option.
PERS Plan 3 has a dual benefit structure. Employer contributions finance a defined benefit component and member
contributions finance a defined contribution component. As established by Chapter 41.34 RCW,employee contribution
rates to the defined contribution component range from 5 percent to 15 percent of salaries,based on member choice.
Members who do not choose a contribution rate default to a 5 percent rate. There are currently no requirements for
employer contributions to the defined contribution component of PERS Plan 3.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 7—PENSION PLANS continued:
PERS Plan 3 defined contribution retirement benefits are dependent upon the results of investment activities. Members
may elect to self-direct the investment of their contributions. Any expenses incurred in conjunction with self-directed
investments are paid by members. Absent a member's self-direction,PERS Plan 3 contributions are invested in the
Retirement Strategy Fund that assumes the member will retire at age 65.
For DRS' Fiscal Year 2013,PERS Plan 3 employee contributions were $99.0 million, and plan refunds paid out were
$69.4 million.
The defined benefit portion of PERS Plan 3 provides members a monthly benefit that is 1 percent of the AFC per year of
service. The AFC is the monthly average of the 60 consecutive highest-paid service months. There is no cap on years of
service credit,and Plan 3 provides the same cost-of-living allowance as Plan 2.
Effective June 7,2006,PERS Plan 3 members are vested in the defined benefit portion of their plan after ten years of
service; or after five years of service,if twelve months of that service are earned after age 44; or after five service credit
years earned in PERS Plan 2 by June 1,2003. Plan 3 members are immediately vested in the defined contribution portion
of their plan.
Vested Plan 3 members are eligible for normal retirement at age 65,or they may retire early with the following conditions
and benefits:
• If they have at least ten service credit years and are 55 years old,the benefit is reduced by an ERF that varies with
age,for each year before age 65.
• If they have 30 service credit years and are at least 55 years old, and were hired before May 1,2013,they have the
choice of a benefit that is reduced by 3 percent for each year before age 65;or a benefit with a smaller(or no)
reduction factor(depending on age)that imposes stricter return-to-work rules.
• If they have 30 service credit years, are at least 55 years old, and were hired after May 1,2013,they have the
option to retire early by accepting a reduction of 5 percent for each year before age 65.
PERS Plan 3 benefits are actuarially reduced to reflect the choice,if made,of a survivor option.
PERS Plan 2 and Plan 3 provide disability benefits. There is no minimum amount of service credit required for eligibility.
The Plan 2 monthly benefit amount is 2 percent of the AFC per year of service. For Plan 3,the monthly benefit amount is
1 percent of the AFC per year of service.These disability benefit amounts are actuarially reduced for each year that the
member's age is less than 65, and to reflect the choice of a survivor option. There is no cap on years of service credit, and
a cost-of-living allowance is granted(based on the Consumer Price Index)capped at 3 percent annually.
PERS members meeting specific eligibility requirements have options available to enhance their retirement benefits.
Some of these options are available to their survivors.
A one-time duty-related death benefit is provided to the beneficiary or the estate of a PERS member who dies as a result
of injuries sustained in the course of employment,or if the death resulted from an occupational disease or infection that
arose naturally and proximately out of the member's covered employment,if found eligible by the Department of Labor

Funding Policy
Each biennium,the state Pension Funding Council adopts PERS Plan 1 employer contribution rates,PERS Plan 2
employer and employee contribution rates,and PERS Plan 3 employer contribution rates. Employee contribution rates for
Plan 1 are established by statute at 6 percent for state agencies and local government unit employees, and at 7.5 percent
for state government elected officials. The employer and employee contribution rates for Plan 2 and the employer
contribution rate for Plan 3 are developed by the Office of the State Actuary to fully fund Plan 2 and the defined benefit
portion of Plan 3. Under PERS Plan 3,employer contributions finance the defined benefit portion of the plan and member
contributions finance the defined contribution portion. The Plan 3 employee contribution rates range from 5 percent to 15
percent.
The methods used to determine the contribution requirements are established under state statute in accordance with
Chapters 41.40 and 41.45 RCW.
The required contribution rates expressed as a percentage of current-year covered payroll: as of December 31,2014, are as
follows:
PERS Plan 1 PERS Plan 2 PERS Plan 3
Employer * 9.21%** 9.21%** 9.21%***

** The employer rate for state elected officials is 13.73% for Plan 1 and 9.21% for Plans 2 and 3.
*** Plan 3 defined benefit portion only.
**** The employee rate for state elected officials is 7.50% for Plan 1 and 4.92% for Plan 2.
***** Variable from 5.0%minimum to 15.0%maximum based on rate selected by PERS 3 member.

NOTE 8—RISK MANAGEMENT:
The City of Spokane Valley is exposed to financial loss resulting from City-caused damage to property or persons,bodily
injuries or illness of employees,and unemployment compensation. The City is insured and a member of the Washington
Cities Insurance Authority(WCIA) for general liability and property damage coverage. The City uses the Washington
State Department of Labor and Industries Insurance Services for coverage to pay for medical care for job-related injuries
and illnesses,and wage replacement when the injury or illness is serious enough to miss work. The City is self-insured
for unemployment compensation benefits.The Risk Management Fund is used to account for,and finance the liability and
Unemployment insurance costs. Departments of the City make payments through interfund assessments to the fund on
estimates of the amounts needed to pay prior and current year claims.
Utilizing Chapter 48.62 RCW(self-insurance regulation) and Chapter 39.34 RCW(Interlocal Cooperation Act),nine
cities originally formed WCIA on January 1, 1981. WCIA was created for the purpose of providing a pooling mechanism
for jointly purchasing insurance,jointly self-insuring, and/or jointly contracting for risk management services. WCIA
has a total of 176 Members.
New members initially contract for a three-year term, and thereafter automatically renew on an annual basis. A one-year
withdrawal notice is required before membership can be terminated. Termination does not relieve a former member from
its unresolved loss history incurred during membership.
Liability coverage is written on an occurrence basis,without deductibles. Coverage includes general,automobile,police,
public officials' errors or omissions, stop gap, and employee benefits liability. Limits are $4 million per occurrence self-
insured layer, and$16 million per occurrence in the re-insured excess layer. The excess layer is insured by the purchase
of reinsurance and insurance and is subject to aggregate limits. Total limits are $20 million per occurrence subject to
aggregate sublimits in the excess layers. The Board of Directors determines the limits and terms of coverage annually.
Insurance coverage for property, automobile physical damage,fidelity,inland marine, and boiler and machinery are
purchased on a group basis.Various deductibles apply by type of coverage. Property insurance and auto physical damage
are self-funded from the members' deductible to $750,000,for all perils other than flood and earthquake, and insured
above that amount by the purchase of insurance.
In-house services include risk management consultation,loss control field services,claims and litigation administration,
and loss analyses. WCIA contracts for the claims investigation consultants for personnel issues and land use problems,
insurance brokerage, and lobbyist services.
WCIA is fully funded by its members,who make annual assessments on a prospectively rated basis,as determined by an
outside,independent actuary. The assessment covers loss,loss adjustment, and administrative expenses. As outlined in
the interlocal,WCIA retains the right to additionally assess the membership for any funding shortfall.
An investment committee,using investment brokers,produces additional revenue by investment of WCIA's assets in
financial instruments which comply with all State guidelines.
A Board of Directors governs WCIA,which is comprised of one designated representative from each member. The Board
elects an Executive Committee and appoints a Treasurer to provide general policy direction for the organization. The
WCIA Executive Director reports to the Executive Committee and is responsible for conducting the day to day operations
of WCIA.
The City of Spokane Valley is self-insured on a reimbursement basis for unemployment compensation. The City incurred
$8,531 in claims for unemployment compensation in 2014 and did not have any settlements that exceeded insurance
coverage in the last three prior years.

NOTE 9—INTERFUND SERVICES ACTIVITY AND TRANSFERS:
Interfund services activity
Sometimes during the course of operations, and as a part of the City's regular programmatic activity,one fund will sell
goods,have work performed or services provided to another fund in return for equal or almost equal value.As a result of
such exchanges,an interfund services provided and used applies to any residual balances outstanding at year end and the
City reports this type of activity as due from/to other funds.Due to other fund and due from other fund balances at
December 31,2014,were:

Total government-wide $ 7,645,000 $ 7,645,000
All remaining interfund balances resulted from the time lag between year end and beginning fiscal year dates that(1)interfund goods and services
are provided or reimbursable expenditures occur,(2)from actual fiscal year end transactions recorded in the accounting system,(3)to payments
between funds are made,and(4)temporarily eliminate fiscal year end(negative credit balances)in the City's pooled cash positions.
Interfund transfers are the flow and reassignment of resources between funds without the exchange of equal or almost
equal value between the funds,typically referred to as a nonexchange transaction or nonreciprocal interfund activity. The
City(1)transfers revenues from the fund that statutes or budget requires to collect them to the fund that the statute or
budget requires to expend them, (2) transfers restricted resources for the purpose of debt service from the funds collecting
the receipts to the debt service fund for debt service payments,and(3) transfers unrestricted revenues collected in the
general and street funds to finance various programs accounted for in other funds in accordance with budgetary authority.
Interfund transfer activity for 2014 is as follows:

NOTE 11—LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS AND LEASES:
General Obligation Bonds
The City of Spokane Valley issued general obligation bonds to provide funds for the acquisition and construction of major
capital facilities. General obligation bonds have been issued for governmental-type activities.These General obligation
bonds are direct obligations and pledge the full faith and credit of the government.General obligation bonds are either
created by 315th majority vote of the people and,therefore,financed by a special tax levy; or created by ordinance, adopted
by the City Council, and normally financed from general revenues(i.e.,councilmanic bonds). In 2003,the City issued
$9,430,000 of councilmanic bonds to finance construction of the CenterPlace Community Center and for various street
construction projects. The City expects to receive intergovernmental payments from the Spokane Public Facilities District
pursuant to an inter-local agreement dated July 2003,for$7 million of the bonds.
Refunded Bonds
On August 27,2014,The City of Spokane Valley issued$7,035,000 of Limited Tax General Obligation 2014 Refunding
Bonds to provide resources to purchase U.S. Government and State and Local Government Series securities that were
placed in an irrevocable trust for the purpose of generating resources for all future debt service payments on the old
$7,435,000 of refunded debt.As a result,the refunded bonds are now considered defeased,retired,and the liability has
been removed subsequently from the City of Spokane Valley's governmental activities fmancial statements of net
position. This refunding was undertaken to reduce total debt service payments over the life of the bonds and resulted in an
economic gain of: $1,283,730.

The balance of these compensated absences was $26,688 as of December 31,2014.
Legal Debt Margin
RCW 39.36.020 provides cities with three segments of debt capacity,each equal to two and one-half percent of the city's
assessed valuation,for a total debt capacity of seven and one-half percent.
The 2013 assessed valuation of the City for the Levy year of 2014,for purposes of determining the legal debt margin is
$7,168,991,028. Under State of Washington statutes general obligation indebtedness pursuant to a vote of the electorate is
limited to 2.5% of actual value of taxable property located within the City. Indebtedness without a vote of the people is
limited to 1.5% of actual value subject to the limitation that total general purpose indebtedness may not exceed 2.5%of
total valuation. There is a 2.5%limitation each for utility purposes and open space and park facilities purposes.The
remaining voted and non-voted GO debt capacities for General purposes of the City at December 31,2014,are as follows:

Leases
Operating Leases—The City of Spokane Valley leases buildings and other equipment under noncancelable operating lease
agreements. Operating leases do not give rise to property rights or lease debt obligations, and therefore the results of these
agreements are not reflected in the General Long-term Obligations of government activities.Total costs for such leases
were $465,626 for the fiscal year ending December 31,2014.The future minimum lease payments for these leases are
presented as follows(table follows):

Under the City's building lease for city hall,there is an option for the City to terminate the lease at the end of the 36th
month,or March 2016. To exercise this option,the City would have to pay a fee of$34,680 and provide six months prior
written notice. If the City exercises the early termination option,future minimum lease payments in 2016 and 2017 would
be reduced by$434,661.
NOTE 12—CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION:
In the normal course of governmental operations the City has claims filed against it for various losses related to tort
actions for such things as wrongful acts,injuries,or damages for which a civil action can be brought, and other routine
legal proceedings. At any given point in time,there is a recurring volume of tort and other claims for compensation and
damages against the City,which could impact expenditures. The City's Risk Management fund provides for these claims,
and insurance is available to pay a portion of damages for certain types of claims. The collective impact of these claims is
not likely to have a material impact on the City's financial position.
The City participates in a number of federal-and-state assisted programs. These grants are subject to audit by the granting
agencies and or their representatives. Such audits could result in requests for reimbursement to grantor agencies for
expenditures disallowed under the terms of the grants. City management does not believe that such disallowances,if any,
will be material.
During fiscal year 2003,the City of Spokane Valley acquired 31 acres of land from Spokane County to be used for a city
park. After acquisition,it was determined that a concrete company on the adjacent parcel had, at some point in the past,
contaminated the property the City was acquiring. The Department of Ecology(DOE)ordered an analysis of the
environmental impact and potential options. The concrete company is highly likely,under federal environmental law,to
be found solely responsible for cleaning up all of the contaminants. Although no formal agreement has been signed by the
parties to accomplish this outcome,it is the likely result. The City does not currently anticipate incurring any significant
expense through the remainder of this process,which is anticipated to be concluded by the end of 2016.
In September 2012 the City entered into an interlocal agreement with the Spokane County Library District(Library) for
the purpose of acquiring an 8.4 acre parcel of land that would in the future be developed as a joint City park and library.
In the agreement the Library agreed to purchase between 2.5 and 3.5 acres of this parcel at a cost that was proportional to
the amount of land they held relative to the purchase price. The agreement further provided that the City hold title to the
entire 8.4 acre parcel until a joint site development plan was completed and the specific land configuration could be
determined for each party.
In October 2012 the City then purchased the 8.4 acre parcel of land at a cost of approximately$2.5 million and the Library
gave the City$744,047 for its proportional share of the 2.5 acres allocated to their estimated needs. At that time the City
recorded the entire $2.5 million purchase as land owned by the City and the $744,047 received from the Library as
deferred revenue with the understanding that when a joint site development plan was complete the City would recognize
the $744,047 received from the Library as revenue,transfer title for this land to the Library,and remove $744,047 of land
from its capital assets.

Notes to Financial Statements
NOTE 12—CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION continued:
In January 2014 the joint site development plan was complete and it was determined that the Library required an
additional 0.32 acres of land,bringing their share of the original 8.4 acre purchase up to 2.82 acres. The Library paid the
City an additional $95,238 for the proportional share of the .32 acres relative to the purchase price of the entire 8.4 acre
purchase. This brought the Library's share of the land purchase up to a total of 2.82 acres at a cost of$839,285.
In January 2014 the City declared this 2.82 acres surplus to its needs,transferred title for this land to the Spokane County
Library District,recognized$839,285 as revenue and removed the land from capital assets. The interlocal agreement also
provided that if the Library had not within five years following the acquisition of the land(in October 2017), secured voter
approval of a construction bond for the library building and ancillary improvements,that the land would be reconveyed
back to the City at the same price paid by the Library($839,285).

Estimates related to receivables-The City contracts with Spokane County for various services,including animal
control,district court,emergency management,detention services,pretrial,prosecution,public defense, and law
enforcement. Payments made on these contracts throughout the year are based upon costs incurred in prior year and
reconciled to actual costs incurred during the current year through a settle and adjust process. Because,the reconciliation
of the underlying supporting data between City and County staff is a time consuming process, an estimate is made at year
end for the settle and adjust amounts expected for each services contract.The estimate is then recorded as either a liability
or receivable,depending on whether the City estimates that additional funds will be owed to the County or that the City
will receive a refund for overpayment, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in expenditure.

For 2014,the City estimated that it would receive a net refund from the County on the contracted services for a total recorded
receivable of$764,390.However,$449,448 of this amount was deferred and no adjustment to expense was recorded due to several of
the estimates having a greater amount of uncertainty. Subsequent to the year end,the emergency management contract for 2014 was
settled and the County determined that the City had overpaid for this contract in the amount of$296,564,which was$20,309 less than
the City's recorded estimate of$316,873 for this contract.Although the City did know this portion of the total estimate,the County
has not settled the remainder of the total estimate for 2014 at the time the financial statements were prepared.Therefore,the City
elected to report the estimate for 2014 of$764,390 and will make any necessary adjustments in their financial statements in 2015
based on the amount settled.

The schedule of funding progress is also presented as required supplementary information(RSI) following these Notes to
the Financial Statements, and the schedule presents multiyear trend information that shows whether the actuarial value of
plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits. The AWC
Employees Benefits Trust had substantial assets recorded as of December 31,2014. Because those assets have not been
placed into an irrevocable trust for the sole purpose of providing the above OPEB benefits, the AWC understands that
they cannot be reflected as "actuarial assets"in the precedent table under GASB 43 in determining the remaining values
for this Trust.
The AWC Employee Benefits Trust's annual OPEB costs, the percentage of annual OPEB cost contributed to the plan,
and the net OPEB obligation for fiscal year 2014 will be determined with the next conducted biennial actuarial analyses
scheduled for January 1, 2015, the reported years of 2008 thru 2010, and 2012 to 2014 were as follows (dollars in

reasonable,taking into account experience and reasonable expectations, and which combinations offer the best estimate
of anticipated experience.
