AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration for continued participation in the Spokane County
Urban Consortium for the Urban County (Community Development Block Grant) Requalification
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG) — Federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); Chapter 39.34 RCW
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: In 2014 the City entered into a three-year agreement
(2015, 2016, 2017) to participate in the Spokane County CDBG/HOME Consortium.
BACKGROUND: On May 23, 2017, the City Council reviewed four options related to the City's
participation in the CDBG program. The City Council found consensus for the City to defer its
CDBG entitlement and continue to participate as part of the urban county (option 4) for fiscal years
2018, 2019, and 2020.
In 2008, the City and Spokane County entered into an agreement to establish a 20 percent set
aside for CDBG eligible capital projects within the City limits (Spokane County Resolution 8 0483).
The set aside is a portion of the County Consortium for CDBG award. Since 2008, the County's
average award is about $1.4 million creating an average City set aside of about $285,000. In
addition to the set aside, many of the City's community partners (Meals on Wheels, SNAP, water
districts, Spokane Valley Partners) also receive CDBG funding from the County. Since 2008, the
City and its community partners have received an average of 34 percent of the County CDBG
award, and as of 2016, the City represented about 34 percent of the population
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute the cooperation agreement with Spokane County for Community Development Block
Grant funds and continue participation in a deferred entitlement status as part of the Urban County
for federal fiscal years 2018, 2019, and 2020.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: As noted above.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Farmers Market Venue Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City Council discussed the potential of a Farmers
Market on May 2, 2013.
BACKGROUND: The City Council has expressed an interest in the potential of providing a
seasonal farmers market venue within our City. This issue was last discussed with the City
Council in May 2013. Staff has been asked to revisit this topic and provide an updated
presentation regarding the current farmers market landscape, the feasibility, requirements and
cost to create a suitable venue.
One of the most critical issues is to determine the level of community support for a farmers
market and contract with an agency or individual to administer and manage the day to day
operation of a farmers market. The City's responsibility would be to provide the venue.
Staff will provide a PowerPoint presentation that will lay out the issues, potential venues, costs
and requirements necessary to provide such a venue.
OPTIONS: N/A
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: N/A
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Budget impacts may include any site improvements or
startup costs in order to prepare the venue to host a farmers market along with the potential
cost of contracting for the administration and operation of a farmers market.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Parks and Recreation Master Plan 101
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City Council adopted the original Parks &
Recreation Plan by resolution on April 25, 2006 and that master plan was updated by resolution
on December 10, 2013.
BACKGROUND: Spokane Valley adopted the original Parks & Recreation Master Plan in 2006.
The 2006 plan went through a public update process that culminated in a new update in
December of 2013. This update was intended to supplement and update the 2006 plan. While
it functions as a "stand-alone" document, it cross-references and draws from that 2006 plan.
Where conditions had materially changed, however, the plan provides detailed explanations of
the changes and offers updated recommendations and implementation measures accordingly.
Public involvement is always a crucial step in comprehensive parks and recreation planning,
ensuring that the community has an effective voice in shaping the plan to ensure that the needs
expressed in the plan and included in the implementation program accurately reflect community
desires. The updated plan included an extensive public engagement effort, basing its
recommendations on exhaustive stakeholder interviews, a statistically valid telephone survey,
and two public meetings.
Staff will be providing an overview of the development of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan
as well as an explanation of how it is used to provide direction and guidance to the Parks and
Recreation Department.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Port District Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 53.04 Port District Formation
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: 8-25-15 Meeting with GSI, 4-19-16 Port District
Strategic Business Plan Discussion, 3-21-17 Council update
BACKGROUND: In the State of Washington, port districts were initially limited to operating
transportation facilities such as docks, airports and short line railroads. In the 1950's Washington
ports were authorized to undertake economic development efforts.
Approximately 25% of the nation's port authorities are in Washington State. Currently, there are
75 Washington port authorities and of that only 6 of the 75 are deep draft cargo ports, the balance
have an economic development focus.
Port districts are special purpose local governments; unlike general purpose governments they
have no traditional regulatory responsibility which provides ports broader flexibility to assist in
economic development efforts. Port districts are able to do this by financing long-term
investments, such as infrastructure, needed for growth. Port districts use taxes, service fees,
bonds, rental income, and grants or gifts as revenue sources.
Greater Spokane Incorporated (GSI) commissioned Maul Foster & Alongi, Inc. to prepare a
Strategic Business Plan to support the consideration of creating a Port Authority in Spokane
County.
On March 21, 2017, staff provided a review of the business plan and an update of the status of
the proposal. Staff received several questions from Council regarding the formation of a port
district. Staff will discuss these items in more detail but the general answers are below:
• May a city opt out or exclude itself from a countywide port district?
o Port districts can be formed by one of two methods, by county commission
proposal or through a citizen initiated petition. The proposal can only be
countywide if initiated by the county commission. There is no legal mechanism for
a city to opt out or exclude itself from the countywide proposal.
• May a city create its own port district?
o A city does not have the authority to place its own port district on a ballot. However,
citizens within a city may petition to establish a less -than -countywide port district.
• If a port district is approved by the voters that include a city, may the city later exclude
itself from the port district?
o Once a port district is approved by the voters, there is no provision that would allow
a city to withdraw from the district.
Staff has also researched compensation for the commissioners of the port. A summary of Eastern
Washington port districts is provided as an attachment.
