AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing on the 2018 Fee Resolution
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: The Master Fee Schedule setting 2016 fees was established via
Resolution #15-012 and was adopted by the City Council on December 29, 2015. There were no
amendments to the fees for 2017. RCW 42.56 Public Records Act relating to establishing fees
associated with responding to public records requests, including the requirement that a public
hearing be held in establishing those fees.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On November 21, 2017, Council considered an
Administrative Report on the proposed resolution establishing 2018 fees, but no formal action has
been taken to date. Revenues generated by the fee resolution in 2018 account for:
• $2,587,900 or 6.02% of total General Fund recurring revenues of $43,007,600.
• $1,870,000 or 99.60% of total Stormwater Management Fund recurring revenues of
$1,877,500.
BACKGROUND: Part of the annual operating budget development process involves City
Departments reviewing the Master Fee Schedule that is currently in place, and determining
whether changes in the fees charged and/or language used in the governing resolution should be
altered. Recommended changes to the fee resolution are as follows:
• The Office of the City Attorney is including a wording change for Appeal of Administrative
Decision — Code Enforcement and references to the Spokane Valley Municipal Code.
• The Parks and Recreation Department is proposing the addition of a daily rental fee for the
West Lawn at CenterPlace in the amount of $3,500 per day.
• Substantial changes were made to Schedule D — Administration for copy fee costs in order to
comply with recent changes to State law relating the Public Records Act. An administrative
report was presented to Council regarding these changes at the July 25, 2017 Council
meeting.
• False alarm recovery fees were changes to comply with Ordinance 17-001, which eliminated
the registration fees. Recovery fees were decreased from $75 per incident for residential false
alarms and $125 per incident for commercial false alarms to $65 per incident for both.
• Other minor wording changes are suggested throughout.
OPTIONS: Hold public hearing on 2018 fees.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: As the purpose of the public hearing is to gather input
from the public in regard to the 2018 fees, no action is requested at this time.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The proposed changes are not expected to have a significant
impact on 2018 revenues.

Memorandum
To: City Council Members; Mark Calhoun, City Manager
From: Michael D. Stone, CPRP, Director of Parks and Recreation
Date: October 26, 2017
Re: 2018 Fee Resolution Proposals
The Parks and Recreation Department would like to propose one
change to the current fee resolution for 2018.
Proposed Changes:
• Add a daily rental rate for the use of CenterPlace/West Lawn.
Recommended daily rental rate is $3,500.
This rate would be used when a group renting space at
CenterPlace is so large that the City cannot rent out any other
portion of CenterPlace. In essence this event is utilizing all of
our parking, crowds will be large and the event's atmosphere
and noise level will prevent us from renting space to other
groups during this rental which means our entire facility is taken
up with this one event. This type of event prevents the City from
generating additional revenue due to the facility not being able
to accommodate other groups. We envision this to primarily be
charged when CenterPlace is hosting large community events.
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please let
me know. Thank you.

Re: Fee Resolution—Setting 2018 False Alarm Recovery Fee
The City adopted Ordinance No. 17-001 on January 10, 2017. This Ordinance greatly simplifies
the false alarm reduction program while also eliminating registration requirements. Additionally,
staff was able to reduce the costs associated with running the program by implementing an in-
house program and eliminating approximately $55,000 in annual contractual costs.
Under the new program residents and businesses which receive a deputy response to a false alarm
will now be assessed a cost recovery fee that incorporates the following costs.
1) Spokane Valley deputy response to false alarm sites
2) Administration of the program by civilian and commissioned Sheriff's Office personnel
operating out of the Precinct Building
3) The amortized cost of the Spokane Valley Database Administrator building a database to
manage the new program.
4) The ongoing annual cost to maintain the system
All fees for registration, registration renewal, appeals, and late payments have been eliminated.
The cost recovery fee will now be the same for both residential and commercial properties. The
changes to the false alarm fees are shown in the following table.

RESOLUTION NO. 17-019
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY,
WASHINGTON, AMENDING RESOLUTION 15-012 AND APPROVING AN AMENDED
MASTER FEE SCHEDULE, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO.
WHEREAS, it is the general policy of the City to establish fees that are reflective of the cost of
services provided by the City; and
WHEREAS, the City uses a resolution to establish fees for City programs, permits and services,
and periodically the fee resolution must be amended to incorporate new or modified services; and
WHEREAS, on December 12, 2017, the City Council conducted a public hearing on this
Resolution; and
WHEREAS, Council desires to amend the Resolution and accompanying Fee Schedule.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane
County, Washington, as follows:
Section 1. Findings Regarding Public Records Fees.
A. Statutory Public Records Fees. The City Council hereby finds and declares that calculating
actual costs for paper copies of 11 inches x 17 inches or smaller, scanned copies, and providing electronic
records would be unduly burdensome because of the diversity of the City departments, types of records,
and information systems involved and budget restraints. Pursuant to chapter 42.56 RCW (the Public
Records Act) and based on such finding, the costs for such copies shall be set at the amounts allowed by
law.
B. Actual Public Records Costs. The City Council hereby finds that the City will charge actual
costs for paper copies larger than 11 inches x 17 inches, digital storage media devices (CD/DVD,
flashdrives, USBs, etc.), envelopes, postage, and records sent to outside vendors for reproduction when
providing copies in response to public records requests. Such charges shall be calculated based on the
actual costs the City incurs in the most reasonable cost-efficient method as part of its normal operations
purchasing and using ink, paper, and copier wear for large copies, such devices and envelopes, mailing
envelopes or other packages, and when using outside vendor copying services based upon contractual or
invoiced charges.
Section 2. The amendments needed at this time are incorporated into the attached schedules and
include new fees and changes to existing fees.
Section 3. Repeal. To the extent that previous fee schedules are inconsistent with those set forth
herein, they are repealed in their entirety.
Section 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect January 1, 2018.
Approved this day of December, 2017.

RESOLUTION NO. 17-019
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY,
WASHINGTON, AMENDING RESOLUTION 15-012 AND APPROVING AN AMENDED
MASTER FEE SCHEDULE, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO.
WHEREAS, it is the general policy of the City to establish fees that are reflective of the cost of
services provided by the City; and
WHEREAS, the City uses a resolution to establish fees for City programs, permits and services,
and periodically the fee resolution must be amended to incorporate new or modified services; and
WHEREAS, on December 12, 2017, the City Council conducted a public hearing on this
Resolution; and
WHEREAS, Council desires to amend the Resolution and accompanying Fee Schedule.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane
County, Washington, as follows:
Section 1. Findings Regarding Public Records Fees.
A. Statutory Public Records Fees. The City Council hereby finds and declares that calculating
actual costs for paper copies of 11 inches x 17 inches or smaller, scanned copies, and providing electronic
records would be unduly burdensome because of the diversity of the City departments, types of records,
and information systems involved and budget restraints. Pursuant to chapter 42.56 RCW (the Public
Records Act) and based on such finding, the costs for such copies shall be set at the amounts allowed by
law.
B. Actual Public Records Costs. The City Council hereby finds that the City will charge actual
costs for paper copies larger than 11 inches x 17 inches, digital storage media devices (CD/DVD,
flashdrives, USBs, etc.), envelopes, postage, and records sent to outside vendors for reproduction when
providing copies in response to public records requests. Such charges shall be calculated based on the
actual costs the City incurs in the most reasonable cost-efficient method as part of its normal operations
purchasing and using ink, paper, and copier wear for large copies, such devices and envelopes, mailing
envelopes or other packages, and when using outside vendor copying services based upon contractual or
invoiced charges.
Section 2. The amendments needed at this time are incorporated into the attached schedules and
include new fees and changes to existing fees.
Section 3. Repeal. To the extent that previous fee schedules are inconsistent with those set forth
herein, they are repealed in their entirety.
Section 4. Effective Date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect January 1, 2018.
Approved this day of December, 2017.

PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins explained the process, and then invited public comment.
Ms. Jan Young, Spokane Valley: said she is a speech language pathologist and has worked with children
for eighteen years; she spoke of unvaccinated kids in the context of the past mumps outbreak; said
vaccinations re recommended to reduce the likelihood of people as a carrier to others who cannot be
vaccinated for medical reasons; said sometimes people are infected before symptoms appear; that the Center
for Disease Control reported that some diseases, like measles, are highly contagious; said she is a strong
supporter for keeping unvaccinated kids home during an outbreak.
Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: asked what is the obligation of a school district to make sure children
not attending school due to being unvaccinated, are current in their curriculum; said he would like someone
from the school district to reply.
Mr. Rob Humphrey, Spokane Valley: spoke of his concern with snow removal and being imposed upon for
removing the snow from sidewalks; said he lives on a main road and if there were a three-inch snowfall, he
would be removing large amounts of snow as the plows could run three to four times a day up and down
that road; said it is not fair; that everyone in the area uses these roads and some areas only get plowed
maybe twice a year, but his area gets plowed whenever there is snow on the road.
Ms. Bobby Nicole Spencer, Spokane Valley: said she understands there are different opinions regarding
vaccinations; but if you impinge on the rights of one you impinge on the rights of others; said people should
be left alone to live their lives; that people keep changing things; the military wants to kick some people
out; said defenses are being taken away and people are scared not knowing what to expect.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: Proposed 2018 Budget, Final Hearing - Chelsie Taylor
Mayor Higgins opened the public hearing at 6:22 p.m. and invited Finance Director Taylor to speak. After
Director Taylor explained the background of the 2018 budget, as noted on her November 14, 2017 Request
for Council Action form, Mayor Higgins invited public comment. Ms. Peggy Doering spoke concerning
the tourism facility fund 104; said it was started by vote of the TPA (Tourism and Planning) in 2015, and
approved by Council and has about $1.1 million for tourism related facilities; said it has not gone to the
voting citizens about the management and ownership of such a facility; she referenced a 2015 meeting and
letter expressing concerns on tax collection on a plan that hadn't been put forth; said she has concerns this
fund will continue to grow without a plan; said the LTAC met October 19 where the director of the HUB
spoke about his facility and of the need for outdoor fields; said she would like an exploratory committee
formed to outline the needs and goals; she mentioned citizens needs to start realizing how a plan can be
fulfilled; and said land acquisition should be moved higher on the agenda. Mr. Rocky Samson, Spokane
Valley: said he appreciates Council keeping the budget as low as they have, and appreciates their work.

After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded
to approve Ordinance 17-014 adopting the 2018 budget. After Finance Taylor briefly went over the
information contained in her November 14, 2017 Request for Council Action form, Mayor Higgins invited
public comments. No comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:
None. Motion carried.
5. Resolution 17-017 Amending Master Speed Limit Schedule, 8th, Pines —Sullivan — John Hohman
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to approve Resolution 17-017 amending the Master
Speed Limit Schedule as proposed. Deputy City Manager Hohman explained that concerning 8th Avenue,
there has not been another auto crash reported since the new improvements have been added; said this
master speed limit schedule comes forward in accordance with state law and City code; said the required
engineering analysis was performed and the choice is to approve this change, or leave the street with the
current 35 miles -per -hour speed limit. Councilmember Collier asked about 8th on University at Pines, and
Mr. Hohman said that segment will be examined to see if other changes are needed, but tonight this change
is just for 8t1 Avenue from Pines Road to Sullivan Road. Councilmember Wood asked about the low speed
limit on Thierman and Mr. Hohman said staff can also bring that back for future discussion. Mayor Higgins
invited public comment.
Ms. Nina Fluegal, Spokane Valley: said there has been much time and effort into this proposal, but a simple
remedy would be to have all the side roads the run east to west, or north to south, at 25 mph; she said people
will drive how they drive; and she asked who will enforce these speeds; she said we don't have enough
police officers now and it is fruitless to change these; she suggested putting up stop signs; said now we
have to budget to change the speed limit signs; said she has been trying to years to get a secondary stop
sign on 4th and Blake; said all side roads should be 25 mph; she said that stop signs will slow traffic more
than changing traffic speed signs; and said this doesn't make sense.
Ms. Jaclyn Gallian, Spokane Valley: said it will be confusing to have three different speed limits on one
street and she suggested making it unified on the entire street.
Ms. Alliene Gallian, Spokane Valley: said the perception is we are setting up speed traps by deliberately
changing the speed limit in the middle of the road; that speed traps are a way of getting more money and
the City will be sued over this as speed traps are illegal; she said there should be one speed limit and we
need to control traffic in a reasonable way and not decide tonight.
Ms. Madeline Kline, Spokane Valley: said she lives on 10th and Clinton; that 8th and McDonald is
ridiculous; that 4th and McDonald have had more people killed than 8th and McDonald; said the problem on
8th was foliage and not the intersection; said to check when those accidents occurred within the last three
years, that it was prior to people keeping things trimmed; said the man who bought the home three to four
years ago, and that's when the wrecks started and continued until the foliage was gone; she said three speeds
on one street is ridiculous.

There were no further public comments. Councilmember Collier said he feels uniformity is needed, and
Councilmember Pace added that some people made sensible comments, and we should not change the speed
on 8th, but rather make them all 25 mph. Councilmember Munch said he agrees, adding that there was some
talk previously about doing a city-wide study, and that needs to happen; said we can't have one street with
three to four different speed limits. Deputy Mayor Woodard said he has asked for a long time for a city-
wide street analysis; but we have made some headway on some of that; he said a study was conducted when
the accidents started, and most of them occurred during daylight hours; said at some time we will have to
study the rest of the city but not tonight; he said we need more opportunities for people to see those signs
and slow down, and said there is no speed trap as the streets are marked. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor:
Mayor Higgins, Deputy Mayor Woodard, and Councilmembers Haley and Wood. Opposed:
Councilmembers Collier, Pace and Munch. Motion carried.
6. Motion Consideration: Legislative Agenda — Mark Calhoun
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to approve the proposed 2018 Legislative Agenda
as drafted. City Manager Calhoun went over the items contained in the Legislative Agenda. Mayor Higgins
mentioned that the last item dealing with protecting parental rights, is a suggestion to the legislators and
not a rule or law change. Mayor Higgins then invited public comment.
Rev. Genavieve Heywood, Veradale United Church of Christ, Spokane Valley: said she has concerns for
the parental rights and wanted to remind Council that birthing children doesn't make someone a parent;
said she is aware that parents need the right to have recourse when children are medically damaged, and
she mentioned part of an ordinance and said that this is not within Council's preview; she said the Council's
responsibility is to the public; said not allowing kids to talk to medical professionals won't improve a family
dynamic that is already in trouble; said transgenders are the most vulnerable and this will increase fear and
bullying; and said she hopes Council will consider this carefully.
Mr. Bob West, Spokane Valley: said that previously Mr. Driskell referenced a letter from the Center for
Justice and from the ACLU; said his concern is if this passes, does it place the citizen in any type of liability
situation as those letters were pretty explicit as far as ramifications. In response, Mr. Driskell said if this is
adopted it will not put the city at potential liability for a lawsuit; said the "ordinance talking points"
forwarded previously by Mr. Pace is not this legislative issue; but this is merely a legislative platform to
talk to the legislature and does not propose any change in law, and this is not in conflict with state laws.
Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: said we are law-abiding citizens and as such have to be required to
immunize our kids so they can gain access to the school; said will they do the same thing for people who
come here illegally and make sure they have all their vaccinations; said 95% of these people are not
immunized and some specific groups are bringing certain strains of illnesses we have never seen before.
Ms. Kim Halms, Spokane Valley: she thanked Council for their time in this effort.
Ms. Paula Smith, Spokane Valley: said she is excited to hear this is on the legislative agenda so people can
work together to find a solution and compromise and that this takes away the fear of the City being sued.
There were no further public comments. Councilmember Collier said he took an oath to uphold the
Constitution and the rights of the individual, and he would stand in the way of anyone who seeks to trample
individual rights. Deputy Mayor Woodard stated that these items are to remind our legislators as they work
through the laws, of the concerns of our citizens, and Councilmember Haley said she believes this is vague
enough and she will vote for it. Councilmember Wood thanked Mr. Driskell for the well written item. Vote
by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried. Mr. Calhoun said he will attempt
to set up a meeting with Council and the Legislators for December 5 or December 12 for some time in the
afternoon.

7. Mayoral Appointment: Citizen to Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee
(HCDAC) — Mayor Higgins
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to confirm the Mayoral appointment of Timothy
Norwick to the Spokane County Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee for a three-
year tem pending official appointment by the Spokane County Board of Commissioners. Mayor Higgins
briefly explained about the committee and the opening, and Deputy Mayor Woodard noted that former
committee member Shane Comer was a great representative. Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no
comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
7a new item: City Hall Closure
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to close the City Hall and CenterPlace at 12:00
p.m., noon, Wednesday, November 22, 2017, to allow staff time to prepare for their Thanksgiving Holiday;
and to close City Hall and CenterPlace for the entire day on Tuesday, December 26, 2017; that this closure
affects only normal administrative functions of the City, however, all pre planned events at CenterPlace
will take place as scheduled. Mayor Higgins invited public comment. The only comment was from Ms.
Peggy Doering asking and receiving clarification on the dates. Councilmember Haley said staff really
worked hard when we moved, and that staff volunteered their time during the open house; and said this
gesture will enable staff to spend time with their family. Deputy Mayor Woodard agreed and said next
week, City Hall will be very quiet. Mr. Calhoun added that any prescheduled CenterPlace events during
those timeframes will not be impacted; and if by December 26 there is snow, this will also not affect snow
removal operations. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins invited public comments, and said if people have comments
concerning the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC), this is the opportunity to make those comments.
Ms. Bobby Spencer, Spokane Valley: concerning the holidays, she asked about New Years as it wasn't
included.
Rev. Genavieve Heywood, Veradale United Church of Christ, Spokane Valley: said she read the
Spokesman Review and the goal of Council that Spokane Valley be business friendly; said she has been
asking about Council's vision and hopes it will be to the benefit of the citizens first; said we need to be a
city where the public can get around in the streets with good services and good roads; she encouraged
Council to look at their goals and vision, and to consider ways to make our city a city of clean water, good
roads, and strong neighborhoods.
Ms. Jayne Singleton, Spokane Valley Museum: said she is aware of the history of the LTAC process as she
served on that committee in 2005 and 2006; said the state statutes are the guide to use in awarding funding
to applicants; said it has been a contentious process and is not equitable or collaborative and she hopes this
changes in the future; said the recommendations for 2018 for the Museum and Valleyfest amount of 2.3%
of the total fund, and mentioned the removal of $225,000 taking place in conversations that took place
before the open public meeting; said they were told they would not be funded because the fund would not
be replenished, however, it increases over the years; said then they were told that hoteliers already met and
decided who would be funded and in what amounts; said some members of the LTAC went to Valleyfest
and asked people where they were staying, but that wasn't done with any other entity; said this is the way
the process has been and it is difficult for a Valley entity to get funded; adding that the museum is in the
business of tourism.
Mr. Bill Crawford: spoke of the LTAC funds being sent outside the Valley; said he was a strong proponent
of incorporation as 40% of revenues were collected in the Valley but went elsewhere; said the idea of
incorporation was to keep Valley money in the valley where the City provides good services without raising

taxes; he asked why so much LTAC funds are sent to entities outside the Valley like Visit Spokane; said
sometimes they get more than half of the total allocation; and he urged Council to fund valley things first,
and other events need to show Council how those events would benefit Spokane Valley.
Mr. Tom McArthur, Spokane Valley: said he is a board member of the Heritage Museum; said their 2018
request was for $25,000 and the LTAC recommended $4,400; said they are grateful for any support, but
why give more than four times the amount to competitors than to ourselves; said if this is for tourism
promotion for Spokane Valley then make it that.
Ms. Peggy Doering, Valleyfest: said her observations of the LTAC process from the past and the most
recent meeting; that these are Spokane Valley funds and not the lodging industry; that what she observed
on October 19 is a contentious thing and has been for fourteen years; said all the applicants that day were
qualified to apply for the funding, like Parks and Recreation to finish some sand volleyball courts at Browns
Park, Crave, and Oktoberfest; she mentioned pages 69 and 77 in the 2018 budget proposal and in the
proposed comp plan; said during that October meeting, some applicants were advised to apply for TPA
funds and to use CenterPlace marketing funds; she said Valleyfest is our community event and it was
disconcerting for her to hear that people were being asked where they were staying and she wasn't aware
this was done at any other event; said she has exit surveys; said we need solutions and a new attitude and
would like a committee reorganization to discuss the purpose for marketing and tourism.
Ms. Nina Fluegal, Spokane Valley: asked if someone was working on the fire department roaring down 4th
Avenue; said she made numerous quests to find out what can be done; and now 8th will be reduced to 30;
asked how this will go with 4th not being used as the Fire Department's local speedway; asked what is the
definition of an arterial and collector; who will do anything about the Fire Department using 4th Avenue;
said no one has called or talked to her about this and something has to change as there is no reason for them
to come down 4th; said she also lives close to Summit School which is now sitting empty; asked why doesn't
the school district make that another elementary instead of spending money on another school.
Ms. Bobby Spencer, Spokane Valley: said she has lived here for several years and today is the first she's
heard that we have a museum; asked where does that money go as apparently it is not going where it is
supposed to or she would have heard of a museum.
There were no further comments and Mayor Higgins called for a recess at 7:44 p.m.; he reconvened the
meeting at 7:55 p.m.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
8. Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment 2018 Docket — Lori Barlow
Senior Planner Barlow explained about the process for a comp plan amendment, and that we have received
four privately initiated amendments, along with the City's proposed three initiated map amendments; she
said that all amendments to consider are map amendments. After Ms. Barlow went through the PowerPoint
explaining the process, and each map amendment proposal, she said staff will be back next week to ask
Council to take action on the docket.
9. Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) Recommendations to Council — Chelsie Taylor, Erik Lamb
Finance Director Taylor explained some of the background associated with the LTAC, and Deputy City
Attorney Lamb mentioned the spreadsheet showing the recommended funding allocation for 2018 and that
a public question arose about the integrity of the process in reference to the Open Public Meeting Act
(OPMA). Mr. Lamb said staff conducted a cursory review of the issues and won't talk about the OPMA,
but did want to discuss the options; and he went through the three options listed on the November 14, 2017
Request for Council Action form. Mr. Lamb said the LTAC is an advisory committee, and that staff believes
option 3 is valid and plausible, in that Council may make an independent review of all the relevant materials

and make its own proposed distribution, which may be the same or different from the LTAC
recommendation; which recommendation would occur at a future meeting, and if Council makes a different
proposed distribution, that would require 45 days for the LTAC to review and provide comment before
final Council action. Mr. Lamb said if Council concurs, a motion can be scheduled for the November 21
meeting on Council's proposed distribution, and if Council's proposed distribution is the same as the LTAC,
Council could take final action at the December 12 meeting; and if the Council's proposed distribution is
different from the LTAC's recommendation, such action could be taken at the January 9, 2018 Council
meeting.
There was some discussion about this year's process with Mr. Lamb reiterating that he did not want to
comment about any possible violations; and this option would allow us to continue; again mentioning that
the LTAC is an advisory committee. Councilmember Wood said people volunteer for this committee and
he finds them very reputable. Councilmember Pace said the money doesn't come from Spokane Valley
taxpayers, but comes from people passing through staying in hotels as part of the sales tax the hotels collect;
said the purpose is to increase tourism in Spokane Valley and after hearing some of the comments tonight,
is excited about option 3. Mr. Lamb reminded Council that if that is Council's preference, he would need
a motion tonight to go with option 3; adding that he is not suggesting there is any fault, but it is in the City's
interest of avoiding any possible challenge and to promote opening of the process. It was then moved by
Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded that Council pursue option three at the November 21, 2017 meeting
and for Council to conduct an independent review and develop its own proposed distribution of the lodging
tax revenues, which may be the same or different from the LTAC recommendation. Councilmember Munch
said last year there were only two options and that he didn't want to open something that could be
challenged. Mr. Lamb explained that an informal Attorney General opinion offers a similar view to this
option, and therefore, we believe it is plausible and defensible. Mayor Higgins invited public comment.
Jayne Singleton, Heritage Museum: she said they are not pointing fingers but brought forward the history
of how this process has evolved; that it appears some are held to a different standard; that historically
decisions were made outside the committee meeting; and that they want a fair and equitable process.
Mr. Tony Lazanis, Spokane Valley: said he would like to see about $400,000 kept for three years to use to
expand the Convention Center, as after three years we would have $1.2 million and an expanded convention
center will bring in bigger conventions. There were no other public comments.
Councilmember Pace said he has been through this process now for four years and it has always bothered
him that Visit Spokane and the Spokane Sports Commission received so much money; said they are overly -
biased for heads in beds; said he has come to realize that is the wrong approach; that we have solid Spokane
Valley organizations that have potential to put heads in beds or actually do; that he will vote to move ahead
with option 3; and if he had to vote tonight he would vote for no funds for the Sports Commission and no
funds to Visit Spokane, with the maximum to go to solid valley organizations. Councilmember Wood said
this option should always be available. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Higgins, Deputy Mayor
Woodard, and Councilmembers Munch, Haley, and Pace. Opposed: Councilmembers Wood and Collier.
Motion carried.
10. Surplus Items — Chelsie Taylor
After Finance Director Taylor went through process of declaring items as surplus, as noted in her December
14, 2017 Request for Council Action form, there was Council consensus to move this forward as planned.
11. Hearing Examiner Services — Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell said that the Hearing Examiner Mike Dempsey intends to retire at the end of this
year and it is not clear what the County will do for those services; they could replace Mr. Dempsey with
another person in-house or they could contract for services with a private attorney. Mr. Driskell said we
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 11-14-2017 Page 7 of 8
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
want to avoid any conflicts or even potential conflicts of interest so we would look closely at our options,
depending on what the County does. Mr. Driskell also noted the current contract includes a 180 -day
termination provision, and if Council desired, we could issue a Request for Proposals to seek a contract
with a private attorney. Mr. Driskell said the least favorite option for us would be to hire an in-house
hearing examiner, and with the amount of cases we have, it would be a part-time position; so for now Mr.
Driskell suggested we simply wait to see what the County does.
There was discussion about us assuming liability for any challenged decisions and Mr. Driskell explained
that there is a very limited amount of potential liability for a Hearing Examiner acting within the scope of
duties as it is quasi-judicial by nature, and we would have some level of protection from lawsuits much the
same as judges have; but regarding Councilmember Pace's question about Council taking on that role, Mr.
Driskell said the potential amount of liability would be much lower with the Hearing Examiner system
instead of Council taking on that role. Councilmember Wood added that he prefers not looking at Council
taking on such a role as he feels Council is not equipped to does Council have the time to go get the
expertise, but rather we need an attorney who is trained and understands those issues, and therefore, he
prefers contracting out for those services. Ultimately, there was Council consensus to wait and see what
the County will do.
12. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Collier proposed the City create its own independent police over -sight committee and at
least two other Councilmembers nodded in agreement. Mr. Calhoun said staff will add that to the advance
agenda.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
Mr. Calhoun mentioned that Kitara has closed on the property in the northeast industrial area; they are a
timber manufacturing facility and he extended thanks to Mr. Hohman, Mr. Basinger and the Economic
Development Department who were instrumental in bringing that company to our City; said the Union
Pacific Railroad running to the NE Industrial area to the west of that property will be constructed in the first
quarter of 2018; and in reference to that, noted the January 2 agenda will include an update on what's
underway in the NE Industrial area. Mr. Calhoun said that after 5 pm tonight, we learned we were awarded
$6 million towards our Barker BNSF Grade Separation Project, with the grant from the National Highway
Grade Program which will be administered through the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT), and said he feels this represents a vote of confidence by WSDOT, and said both WSDOT and
the SRTC (Spokane Regional Transportation Council) have "gone to bat" for us in obtaining this $6 million
grant, and he extended thanks to WSDOT and SRTC for their tremendous assistance.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 8:56 p.m.

1. Proposed Resolution 17-018, Declaring Items Surplus — Chelsie Taylor
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to approve Resolution 17-018 declaring the items
on the attached Exhibit 1 as surplus to the needs of the City. Finance Director Taylor mentioned the revised
list with the added item of the presentation table that was used in the chambers in the former building. After
Finance Director Taylor briefly explained the process for declaring items as surplus, Mayor Higgins invited
public comment. Ms. Karen Gallion asked if it were possible to donate items to a non-profit instead of
recycling them. There were no other public comments. Deputy Mayor Woodard asked Mr. Driskell if items
could be donated and Mr. Driskell said yes, the City Manager can dispose of items at his discretion in a
manner deemed to be in the best interests of the City. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:
None. Motion carried.
2. Motion Consideration: 2018 Annual comp Plan Amendment Docket — Lori Barlow
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to approve the 2018 Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Docket as presented. Senior Planner Barlow briefly reviewed the material she had discussed
the prior week; explained we received four privately initiated amendments requests, which are generally
changes on the land use map from one land use designation to another; and she explained the items listed
on the docket, which includes three City -initiated requests, two of which are to make corrections to
eliminate bisected zones on parcels, and the other would bring the vision for a particular piece consistent
with a group of properties owned by the Conservation District; she said Council is being asked to take
action to either approve as submitted or with modifications, including removing any item from the docket.
In response to Councilmember Pace's question about the process, Ms. Barlow confirmed that these items
would be submitted to the Planning Commission and then come back to Council, and that the public would
have further opportunity for comment at the Planning Commission meeting(s) and Council meeting(s). Ms.
Barlow also noted staff submits a public hearing notice to the newspaper at least three weeks prior to the
hearing, which generally results in the notice being published twice. Ms. Barlow said we also notify

property owners within 400' of each individual site, and that we have the discretion to increase that area,
but that has not yet been determined. Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no comments were offered.
Deputy Mayor Woodard said he hopes the public will pay attention to the process and the docket materials.
Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
3. Motion Consideration: Council's Proposed Distribution for Lodging Tax Funding Allocations — Erik
Lamb, Chelsie Taylor
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to approve the following as the City Council's
proposed distribution and allocation of lodging tax revenues for 2018: For the proposed transfer to fund
#104, change to $200,000 instead of $250,000; and to allocate to the ten entities as follows: (1) City of
Spokane Valley Parks & Rec: $60, 000; (2) Spokane Oktoberfest: $10,000; (3) Crave NW- $30, 000; (4)
Spokane Valley Heritage Museum: $13, 000; (5) Spokane Co. Fair & Expo -Interstate Fair: $50, 000; (6)
Spokane Sports Commission: $80, 000; (7) HUB Sports Center: $48, 400; (8) ValleyFest: $8, 600; (9)
Valleyfest Cycle Celebration: $2, 000; and (10) Visit Spokane: $70,000, for a total of $372,000.
It was then moved by Councilmember Pace to amend Councilmember Woodard's motion as follows: the
set aside funds for a sports or some other type of facility to draw tourists, put that back to $250,000; and
then the others as follows: (1) City of Spokane Valley Parks & Rec: $52, 000; (2) Spokane Oktoberfest:
$20, 000; (3) Crave NW- $50, 000; (4) Spokane Valley Heritage Museum: $25, 000; (5) Spokane Co. Fair &
Expo -Interstate Fair: 0; (6) Spokane Sports Commission: 0; (7) HUB Sports Center: 0; (8) ValleyFest:
$150,000; (9) Valleyfest Cycle Celebration: $25, 000, and (10) Visit Spokane: 0 for a total of $322, 000.
There was no second and the motion to amend did not progress.
Mayor Higgins invited Council comments on the main motion. Councilmember Pace said he realized over
his last year that we give a lot of money to organizations that aren't even Spokane Valley organizations and
supposedly they help Spokane Valley but they are not Spokane Valley organizations; said he realizes that
lodging tax money is made by people passing through and staying in hotels and does not come from
Spokane Valley residents unless they spend the night in a hotel; and just like the outside agency grants, that
he thinks it is best to spend these kinds of funds, lodging tax and outside agency, for organizations that
actually have Spokane Valley in their name, like Valleyfest and Spokane Valley Heritage Museum; or for
things that have the potential to bring tourists like Oktoberfest and Crave NW; and instead of using money
to market and advertise, that the best use of these funds is savings towards building something that will
draw people in just by itself which is why he liked the $250,000 going to that savings.
Councilmember Haley said she feels it is important to finish Browns Park and Ms. Taylor said the suggested
amount of $60,000 will not complete the park or the master plan for the volleyball courts. Parks and
Recreation Director Stone said the request for about $250,000 would get four more volleyball courts and
they are seeking a total of eight; said they and are probably $1.2 to $1.3 million away from completing the
entire master plan and do have some funds approved in next year's budget to "chip away" at the project.
Deputy City Attorney Lamb stated that if Council elects to approve an amount different from the LTAC
recommendations, we will be required to give the LTAC 45 days to review and comment on those
recommended amounts, so the first date Council could take final action on this would be at the January 9,
2018 Council meeting.
Councilmember Wood said he agrees with the $50,000 and would like to see that stay there; and as far as
reallocating from the LTAC recommendation, said he could bend on that but would like to keep that
$50,000 reserve and build on that so we can end up with a goal set a long time ago about a sports or other
facility that would benefit all of the valley; he said he doesn't think $60,000 will do much for Browns Park
if we need $1.2 million and said he would vote no on the motion because of the $50,000 being removed
from that fund; and said otherwise, he could go along with redistributing the money; said if you removed
the $60,000 to the parks and put the $50,000 back into the fund, he would agree with those allocations.

Approved by Council:

It was then moved by Councilmember Wood and seconded to amend Deputy Mayor Woodard's motion by
taking the $60, 000 from Parks and putting it back into the reserve fund 104 for the sports facility, and that
additional $10,000 should be given to Valleyfest. Councilmember Wood said he feels this allocation
balances out what Council wants. To clarify, Ms. Taylor stated the amended amounts per Councilmember
Wood's amended motion, including transfer of the $250,000 into Fund 104: (1) City of Spokane Valley
Parks & Rec: 0; (2) Spokane Oktoberfest: $10,000; (3) Crave NW: $30,000; (4) Spokane Valley Heritage
Museum: $13,000; (5) Spokane Co. Fair & Expo -Interstate Fair: $50,000; (6) Spokane Sports Commission:
$80,000; (7) HUB Sports Center: $48,400; (8) ValleyFest: $18,600; (9) Valleyfest Cycle Celebration:
$2,000; and (10) Visit Spokane- $70,000, for a total of $322,000. Mayor Higgins invited public comment
on the motion to amend.
Bob West, Spokane Valley: said he was interested in the amount of money to the Spokane Sports
Commission and how that is applied here in the valley; said it seems that is the greatest amount of money
out of all the allocations, and why Parks and Rec or Valleyfest shouldn't have more money.
Cal Clausen, one of the owners of the Holiday Express and the current Quality Inn; he spoke of his two
properties here in the valley and another hotel downtown; said loans on his two properties in the valley
approach $20 million and said he therefore has $20 million at stake so therefore he is a larger stakeholder
than anyone in this room or maybe even Spokane between him and his brother; he encouraged Council to
support their committee's recommendations; said if he thought that the money that was going to the Sports
Commission or Visit Spokane was not in the best interests of Spokane Valley, he would not be standing
here; said those two entities create a lot of room nights and if Council were to take away any funds from
those two entities it would be a travesty to tourism; said a volleyball court generates no room nights; said
they have tracked Valleyfest extensively over the years and it too generates no room nights; and he
encouraged Council to follow the recommended allocations of LTAC.
Jody Sander, with Sterling Hospitality, the Holiday Express and the Quality Inn on Argonne: said she has
worked in the valley for 17 years in the hotels, and is also the past chair of Visit Spokane; said Visit Spokane
diligently tracks the money they receive from the City of Spokane Valley and the hotels in the valley benefit
from those funds; and she encouraged Council to listen to the LTAC committee.
Jayne Singleton, Valley Heritage Museum: said the museum is a tourism attraction and she appreciates
Council's efforts to reallocate funds; said the museum tracks visitors who come; that they have one capture
point and know without a doubt that the exhibits like the Smithsonian bring people to the valley and generate
overnight stays, and people fill up at the gas pumps and eat at the restaurants, and she expressed her
gratitude to Council for review of the LTAC recommended allocations.
Bill Crawford, Museum Board Member: said he understands the process that the 2% tax collected by the
hotels from the guests is to be used to promote tourism in Spokane Valley; he said that doesn't mean an
organization should have to prove how many heads in beds they generated to qualify for funding; he said
the state statutes do not reference "heads in beds" but this is how the hoteliers choose to administer the
process; he said that amount collected grows annually, and the majority is awarded to organizations outside
the valley at the expense of the valley organizations; he said recommendations of Visit Spokane getting
$71,800, that Valleyfest and the Museum combined only receive $7,400, so Visit Spokane would get ten
times the amount of two valley organizations combined; said the average award from 2003 to 2017 for Visit
Spokane is $197,000, for Valleyfest is $24,240, and for the Museum $7,257; said the process does not seem
fair and equitable, adding that this fund was never intended to be used as personal marketing funds for
hoteliers, and organizations within Spokane Valley should get priority funding with tax collected within
the city limits, and recommended Council make awards more closely in line with the guidelines in the
RCW.

Cheryl Kilday, President and CEO of Visit Spokane: she explained that by the RCW requirements, Visit
Spokane has to spend the money they receive from lodging tax, for the direct benefit of the City of Spokane,
and she said they do that; she said the things they are doing are very specific to the City of Spokane Valley;
she said they use their regional dollars from TPA to position the region as a place, and the things they are
doing with the lodging tax are very specific on behalf of the city, so there is a difference in how those funds
are used and said they keep them very calculated on what you are getting for each of those points; she said
when the lodging tax RCW was last updated, it was a project that included the Association of Cities and
Counties, and other marketing organizations including the Washington Hospitality Association, which was
a compromise of trying to find the best way to get hotelier input, and nonprofits and other organizations
who are eligible to be recipients of the funds; and was a compromise on how the entire structure worked;
she said that even though they are not getting anywhere near what they asked for, and what they know they
could do if fully funded from the City of Spokane Valley; said she thinks the LTAC recommendation is
what Council should use as the process was put in place as a compromise for everyone, and she
recommended staying with LTAC's recommendations. There were no further public comments.
At Councilmember Wood's request, Finance Director Taylor read the criteria used to follow when
allocating the money, i.e. Council's goals and priorities for the LTAC. Councilmember Collier asked about
the history of how this came into being, and after Deputy City Attorney Lamb briefly explained the
background, Councilmember Collier asked if the initial concept of the LTAC was brought up by
government or through the private industry and said it seems government is interfering in private industry.
Mr. Lamb said he is not aware how or by whom the initial concept was created. Councilmember Munch
said with the change, the Sports Commission is the only one that really changed from their recommendation,
and said he favors the proposed amendment. Concerning businesses and the free market system,
Councilmember Pace said he feels businesses are responsible to do their own marketing and tax dollars
should not be used for that purpose. Deputy Mayor Woodard then explained his rationale for his proposal;
said if it was entirely up to him, he would take all the LTAC money and put it towards a capital project for
multipurpose playfields; as the purpose of that fund is to build a facility to entice tournament play; he said
there is a perception that something went wrong in the LTAC this time but he is not making a judgment
call; said he looked up the data that was presented to Council last year from the Sports Commission, which
documents said they put 22,000 heads in beds; he said at $2.00 a head that $44,000 that was earned by those
22,000; and that this year's data said about 65,000 heads, which is tripled from the previous year's; said he
knows of no hoteliers that have had that kind of increase in room counts; said he knows that Visit Spokane
puts a lot of heads in beds all through the county; said we have the TPA which has a sizeable amount of
money for the general region, but we don't get to see that; said he likes Councilmember Wood's proposal;
that he is in favor of the Browns Park being finished but that will have to be discussed later next year; said
this is just a proposal and then the LTAC gets to look at it again. Vote by Acclamation of Councilmember's
Wood's proposed motion to amend: In Favor: Mayor Higgins, Deputy Mayor Woodard, and
Councilmembers Munch, Haley, and Wood. Opposed: Councilmembers Collier and Pace. Motion to amend
carried.
It was then moved by Councilmember Pace to amend the motion by starting with Councilmember Wood's
amendment, then $250, 000 set aside for the sports facility; Parks and Recreation zero; Spokane Oktoberfest
$10,000, Crave NW $30,000; Heritage Museum $25, 000; Fair $40, 000; Sports Commission $20, 000; HUB
$48, 400; Cycle Celebration $2, 000; and Visit Spokane $30, 000; and Valleyfest $96600. There was no
second and the motion did not progress. It was then moved by Councilmember Collier to amend the motion
by sticking with the resident experts and return back to LTAC's original allocation. There was no second
and the motion did not progress. Councilmember Wood said he chaired that LTAC committee and there
was a lot of due diligence; that there were some complaints from some people about the process; said the
committee worked hard but after hearing the comments tonight, said he feels more should be given to the
local economy. It was then moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard to amend the motion by leaving the $250, 000

transferred to fund 104; City of Spokane Valley zero; Oktoberfest $10,000; Crave $30, 000; Heritage
Museum $13,000; Spokane County Fair $50,000; Sports Commission $80,000; HUB $48,400; Valleyfest
$18,600; Cycle Celebration $2,000; and Visit Spokane $70,000. Mayor Higgins said that motion is out of
order because that motion is Councilmember Wood's motion. Deputy Mayor Woodard said he is simply
re -stating that amended motion. Mayor Higgins said that that was already passed, so if Deputy Mayor
Woodard would like to bring discussion to an end, he asked that he please move to end discussion. It was
then moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to end discussion. Vote by acclamation to end the
discussion: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried. It was then voted by acclamation on
the final motion, which is to approve the following as the City Council's proposed distribution and
allocation of lodging tax revenues for 2018 as Councilmember Wood proposed: in Favor: Mayor Higgins,
Deputy Mayor Woodard, Councilmembers Munch, Haley and Wood. Opposed: Councilmembers Pace and
Collier. Motion carried. Deputy City Attorney Lamb said that motion will be provided to the LTAC for
their review and comments, and this issue will return to Council in January.
NON -ACTION ITEMS:
4. Street Sweeping — John Hohman, Art Jenkins, Shane Arlt
Deputy City Manager Hohman said that Stormwater Engineer Art Jenkins and Street Maintenance
Superintendent Shane Arlt will give a background/overview of the street sweeping program. Mr. Jenkins
started by explaining that 97% of street sweeping is paid for out of the stormwater fund. Mr. Jenkins and
Arlt went over the program's history, reasons for just one bidder, the contract, hourly rate, the various types
of equipment, as well as reasons why we sweep and events requiring sweeping.
5. CenterPlace West Lawn Master Plan — Mike Stone
Parks and Recreation Director Stone introduced Landscape Architect Mr. Mike Terrell who went through
the PowerPoint explaining about the West Lawn and North Meadow Master Plan, including the process
and parts of the master plan for the CenterPlace Plaza and the North Meadow, for Phase 1 and the Master
Plan and gave a cost estimate for each. Councilmember Munch asked about a cost benefit analysis, and
how much we get back for renting compared with what we anticipate. Mr. Stone said he hasn't taken a
hard look at that but is working with Community and Economic Development to research that information.
Councilmember Munch suggested that might be a good place for a farmer's market, and would like to see
tents and how much that would cost, adding he realizes tents would also require another storage building.
Mr. Stone said staff can research that as well to see if it would be beneficial to the City. Mr. Hohman said
staff has hired Community Attributes to do that cost benefit analysis, and hopes to have that information
early January. Deputy Mayor Woodard mentioned Valleyfest's car shows and balloons and whether that
would limit our ability or create a liability. Mr. Terrell said staff will have to look at that issue.
Mayor Higgins called for a recess at 7:46 p.m.; he reconvened the meeting at 7:55 p.m.
6. Appleway Trail, Sullivan to Corbin — Mike Stone, Robert Lochmiller
Parks and Recreation Director Mike Stone and Senior Project Manager Engineer Rob Lochmiller, provided
an update of the state of the Sullivan to Corbin section of the Appleway Trail; as well as the initial rejection
of the bids as being too high, the original bid package versus the revised bid package, the site furnishings
and restroom as well as alternates, and mention of next steps.
7. Fee Resolution, 2018 — Chelsie Taylor
Finance Director Taylor explained that there were no amendments to the City's Fee Resolution for 2017,
so this is the first time this have come forward this year; said departments were asked to review and propose
any necessary fee changes; said some of the changes are for clarity, and others are changes in fees, such as
for Parks and Recreation's Department for large events, and in the Administration Department for copy
fees in order to comply with changes in the state law regarding the Public Records act; said the false alarm
recovery fee will bring the fees into compliance with the ordinance previously passed, which eliminated

registration fees for alarm systems and set new fees, and she referenced the memo included in the packet
materials, from Parks and Recreation and from Administration. There was some discussion about adding a
fee for processing credit cards so as not to subsidize those who pay in cash; and Ms. Taylor said she will
include that information when this is brought back to Council for action December 12, and that the fee for
processing credit cards will likely be 2.5%.
8. Police Department Monthly Report — Chief Werner
In giving an overview of the Police Department monthly report, Police Chief Werner mentioned the
tremendous support of the SCOPE volunteers, including over 600 hours in supporting public safety, as well
as 24 hours from the SIRT team in traffic control. Chief Werner mentioned an increase in people leaving
their vehicle running while it warms up, and of vehicle theft and he encouraged people not to do that. Chief
Werner also encouraged people not to fall prey to the various scams going around, in particular when a
caller poses as either law enforcement or a member of their family and mentions the need for a gift card as
payment for various things like traffic tickets, or helping a family member involved in an accident. Chief
Werner said law enforcement will never ask members of the public to pay for anything with a gift card, and
he cautioned people to be warry. Chief Werner also noted they have six new officers in training, and another
six will graduate from the academy during the first week in December; and that they anticipate three more
laterals after the first of the year.
9. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Wood said he would like Council to issue a letter of appreciation to the SCOPE Board for
all the hard work they do; they are all volunteers, and he would like Council to recognize their work with a
plaque or other means of recognition. Several members of Council nodded in agreement.
Councilmember Pace said he would like a change considered for the Governance Manual, to eliminate the
agenda committee and replace it with the entire Council to perform the same functions during the advance
agenda portion of each meeting; he said the way it is currently, it allows two people to control the agenda
and that exacerbates perceptions of non -transparency. At least two other Councilmembers nodded in
agreement.
Councilmember Pace said in reference to the Arts Council, he would like Council to place the previously
proposed sculpture, of the four horses which looked like they were crawling out of the ground, in a
prominent place in memory of the horse massacre that occurred in the 1800's; said the sculpture is paid for
by the Arts Council, and he suggested the vacant lot on the corner of Appleway and University, next to the
STA Valley Transit Plaza; said if STA is interested, they would provide utilities and the City would
maintain the area just like any other park. There were no other Councilmembers in favor of adding that to
the advance agenda.
Councilmember Collier said he would like to have the speed limit increased from Thierman to University
on Appleway and Sprague where they are on -way, from 35 to 40 mph; he said most people are already
traveling at that speed and said otherwise, it would be quite a speed trap. There was at least a total of three
Councilmembers who agreed with having this topic on a future meeting; and Mr. Hohman said staff would
have to do an engineering evaluation. Councilmember Wood asked Mr. Hohman if we were working on
Thierman Street as far as the speed is concerned, and Mr. Hohman said that is being discussed and staff is
going back though the records to see what information we have and what information we are lacking, and
it will come forward at a future meeting.
10. Information Only: Department Reports
Department Reports were for information only and were not reported or discussed.

11. Council Check-in — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Pace announced that since this is Mr. Munch and Mr. Collier's last meeting, he wanted to
thank them for their service. Mr. Munch said serving on the Council was an "eye-opener" and he appreciates
having had the opportunity, and extended his appreciation to the staff for their hard work.
12. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
Deputy City Manager Hohman explained that City Manager Calhoun is not here tonight as he is not feeling
well. Mr. Hohman noted that with the adoption of the 2018 Legislative Agenda last week, we will meet
with our Fourth District Representatives December 12 at 4 pm here at City Hall, in the 2nd floor conference
room, and that our Lobbyist Briahna Murray will be attending; and she will also give an update during that
evening's regular meeting. Mr. Hohman also noted that the celebration of lights will be in front of City
Hall, hosted by the Rotary Club, on November 30th beginning at 5:30 p.m., and as customary,
Councilmembers will share in the recitation of the Night Before Christmas. Mr. Hohman then introduced
Mr. Bill Helbig, the City's newly hired engineer, who started a week ago. Mr. Hohman said Mr. Helbig
has about thirty years' experience, including private and public, is a graduate from WSU, and will serve
our community well.
In recognition of their service as members of Council, Mr. Hohman presented Mr. Collier, followed by Mr.
Munch, with a plaque commemorating their time on Council; which he said requires a lot of time not just
council meetings, but executive sessions, serving on boards and committees, and in dealing with the public
via phone, e-mail, and in person. Thanks and appreciation were extended by Council, staff and the audience
to Mr. Collier and to Mr. Munch.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 8:37 p.m.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY 2018 LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
Adopted by Council November 14, 2017
Transportation Funding Request: Bridging the Valley
The City of Spokane Valley continues to make headway on the multi -phase Bridging the Valley project
that replaces dangerous at -grade crossings throughout the City. As the City nears design on the Barker Road
Grade Separation Project, it hopes to pursue state and federal funding to advance the project, as outlined
below. However, it is important to recognize that the Barker Road project is only the first phase, and in
future years, the City will also pursue funds for the Pines Road Underpass / BNSF Grade Separation Project,
and other elements of Bridging the Valley.
Phase 1: Barker Road / BNSF Grade Separation Project
The City of Spokane Valley respectfully requests that the state invest in Phase 1 of Bridging the
Valley by allocating funds to the Barker Road/BNSF Grade Separation project. The Barker
Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project replaces an at -grade crossing with an overpass of BNSF's
railroad tracks and Trent Avenue (SR 290). The project will eliminate two at -grade crossings,
eliminating train/vehicle crash risks. The project will improve train travel through the Spokane
region, which is a bottleneck of the Great Northern Corridor. The total project cost is currently
anticipated to be $20 million. The City has already secured partial financing for the project
including a $720,000 federal earmark, a Washington State Freight Mobility Investment Board grant
equivalent to 20% of the total project cost, $3.6 million of City -generated funds specifically
earmarked for this purpose, and $1.5 million that the City received in the 2017-2019 Transportation
Budget from the Washington State Legislature, which the City plans to spend on bridge design.
Once designed, the City hopes to continue its partnership with the state to fund right-of-way
acquisition and construction.
Pass legislation responding to Hirst and a 2017-19 Capital Budget: Funding for Applewav Trail Park
Amenities
The City supports efforts to reach agreement on legislation addressing the recent Hirst Supreme Court
decision regarding water availability in rural areas. The City of Spokane Valley also encourages the
Legislature to pass a 2017-2019 Capital Budget with an allocation of $540,000 for park amenities for the
first mile of the Appleway Trail. The most recent versions of the proposed 2017-19 Capital Budget include
this funding. These additional amenities include a restroom, topsoil, limited turf and dryland seeding, trees,
drinking fountain, and benches. The City previously funded, designed and constructed the paved portion of
the first mile with over $1 million without these amenities. The state has allocated funding for the remaining
3.25 miles (including amenities), scheduled over the next two years. This funding of $540,000 in the Capital
Budget will bring amenities to the entire 4.25 mile trail, realizing the full conceptual plan and orienting
future economic development.
Protect the Local State -Shared Revenues
The City of Spokane Valley requests that the Legislature preserve and restore local state -shared revenues.
These funds include the Liquor Excise Tax Account ($442,294 in 2016), Liquor Board Profits ($804,057
in 2016), Municipal Criminal Justice Assistance Account ($280,337 in 2016), and City -County Assistance
Account and Marijuana Revenues ($54,213 in 2016). Specifically, the City supports legislation that
removes the 2011 cap on Liquor Profit revenues, to restore the 50/50 revenue sharing relationship between
the state and local governments.
Spokane Valley is home to many warehouses and manufacturing facilities. As a result, the City receives
over $500,000 each year in streamlined sales tax mitigation payments to compensate the City for financial
losses when the state switched to a destination -based sales tax system. The 2017 Legislature indicated with
Page 1 of 2
CITY f]F�
.Val--Y
the passage of the Marketplace Fairness Act, that the state intends to suspend streamlined sales tax (SST)
mitigation payments in the 2019-21 biennium. Meanwhile, the Department of Revenue was directed to
analyze if and when expected revenue gains from implementation of the Marketplace Fairness Act equal or
exceed revenue losses to cities. The City will be closely monitoring the outcome of this and requests that
cities receiving SST mitigation are made whole through this transition throughout the state.
Protect Businesses by Reforming State Regulatory Burden
The City of Spokane Valley strongly supports businesses small and large, in our City and across the state,
because they are the lifeblood of our economy. Unfortunately, these businesses are forced to compete in a
state regulatory environment that is increasingly burdensome, making it difficult to compete with
businesses in neighboring states. Of most urgent concern is the regressive state business & occupation tax,
with the current Labor & Industries program close behind, with both needing significant reform before they
do irreparable damage to commerce in Washington. Spokane Valley supports rebalancing the state-wide
regulatory framework to encourage and support business development and retention.
Abandoned/Foreclosed Homes
The City of Spokane Valley supports legislation to provide cities with the tools to address abandoned and
foreclosed homes. In 2016, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled in Jordan v. Nationstar, that
financial institutions cannot enter and secure homes until the foreclosure process is complete. This leads to
many homes that are mid -foreclosure being abandoned. Abandoned homes throughout a community
become sites for criminal activity, squatters, and declining property values. The City encourages the
Legislature to adopt legislation in response to the Jordan v Nationstar case that provides cities with tools
to address abandoned and foreclosed homes.
Indigent Defense Funding
The City of Spokane Valley supports full funding for municipal indigent defense services. In 2013, the
Washington Supreme Court set new caseload standards for the number of cases a public defender can
represent in a calendar year. This has increased the annual cost of providing indigent defense services by
$71,521 or 11.4%. The City supports policy and fiscal changes to mitigate this new obligation.
Support Continued Prohibition of Recreational Marijuana Home Growing
The City of Spokane Valley supports the continued prohibition on home growing of recreational marijuana.
Allowing home growing of recreational marijuana will unnecessarily increase youth access, illegal
diversion, and criminal activity related to marijuana. Neither the State nor local cities have sufficient
resources to adequately enforce home growing. Allowing home growing will place an additional and
unnecessary cost burden on local cities that primarily have to deal with the impacts from legalized
marijuana. By allowing home growing, the State will also weaken the still -growing commercial marijuana
market.
Protecting Parental Rights Regarding Decisions Involving Their Children
The City of Spokane Valley recognizes as critically important the role parents play in all facets of the lives
of their children. Over the years, the State of Washington has adopted various laws and agency rules which
encroach upon the decision-making rights of parents. Some of these laws and rules have significant impacts
on families, and infringe upon the traditional parental role. The City supports changes in state law that
strengthen parental rights, and requests that future legislation not have the unintended consequence of
eroding parental rights.
The City supports AWC legislative agenda items that serve the best interests of Spokane Valley.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: CenterPlace West Lawn Master Plan
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The adopted 2018 budget included funding for Phase
1 of the West Lawn Master Plan at the CenterPlace Regional Event Center.
BACKGROUND: CenterPlace Regional Event Center opened in September of 2005. Since
that time the usage of the event center as well as the west lawn has dramatically increased.
More and more groups are utilizing the beautiful outdoor setting as a venue for their events.
Valleyfest has utilized this space for the past 10 years. New community events are springing up
that have taken advantage of all that CenterPlace and the west lawn has to offer. In 2017 the
initial CRAVE and Oktoberfest events were held at CenterPlace and on the west lawn. While
this space has generated a great deal of excitement, there are improvements that could be
made to make this an outstanding community venue as well as a civic asset.
Staff has been considering the development and expansion of the west lawn area as a way to
add new community events and draw visitors to our City. With that in mind, the City has been
working with Landscape Architect Michael Terrell in the development of a master plan for this
area that would put CenterPlace on the event venue map not only for our City but for the
Region.
Staff presented an overview of the master plan development process along with a discussion of
costs and phasing on November 21, 2017. That plan is now being brought forward for a motion
consideration for approval.
OPTIONS: Approve master plan as presented or with modifications.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the CenterPlace West Lawn Master
Plan as presented.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Master Plan Phase 1 funding of $200,000 is included in the
2018 Adopted Budget.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Addendum to Police Precinct Lease Agreement
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approved Precinct Building purchase on June 6,
2006; approved revised lease agreement on August 28, 2007.
BACKGROUND:
The City owns the Precinct Building and charges the County annual lease and maintenance
based on their percentage occupancy of the building. The City's contracted law enforcement
personnel occupy 85% of the building. The County is charged for the remaining 15% of space
that is occupied by the District Court and by Sheriff's Office personnel providing services to the
unincorporated County. The main purpose of the amended Lease Agreement is to 1) extend
the term length one year with automatic annual renewals beginning in 2019, and 2) to formally
adopt the County's current occupancy share.
OPTIONS: Authorize the City Manager to execute the lease amendment or 2) take other action
as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute the Precinct Lease Amendment.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There is no present year budget impact. In 2009 the City and
the County first mutually agreed to the County's request to vacate certain portions of the
building, effective beginning in 2009, and to reduce its percentage occupancy from 44% to the
15% that the County continues to occupy. This was presented to Council at the time as an
admin report and mutually agreed to through a formal letter, however, in accordance with the
Lease Agreement this was to have been adopted as an amendment to the Lease Agreement.
This Amendment formally recognizes that earlier change.

will be calculated by dividing those annual costs set forth herein above by twelve (12).
Payments by the County will be due by the 5th of the following month. The CITY, at its sole

budgeted, capital improvements in any calendar year. The City Manager or designee shall notify the
County Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or designee in writing on or before September 1 of each calendar
year of the planned capital improvements for the Premises in excess of $4,999.99. City will consider the

for each capital improvement for which an amortization schedule had been prepared from the date of the
termination to the end of the amortization schedule. This amount shall be paid within sixty (60) calendar
days of any such termination.
The CITY will provide maintenance of the Premises and charge the COUNTY for its proportionate use.
The PARTIES agree that the estimated M&O will be based upon the City's budgeted M&O for the
County's 44% occupancy of the Premises. Monthly billings for M&O will be determined by dividing that
yearly amount by twelve. This formula will be used for each successive year in which this Lease
Agreement is in effect.
At the end of each calendar year, the PARTIES shall apply the actual expenditures and the actual occupancy
percentage to determine the final cost. It is the PARTIES intent that any adjustment take place as soon as
possible and accordingly will use their respective best efforts to timely prepare, disseminate and review all
expenditure documentation. The COUNTY will have sixty (60) calendar days from its receipt of the
expenditure documentation to provide the CITY with any written objections(s) to such documentation. The
written objection(s) must specifically identify the expenditures) in question. The CiTY agrees to consider all
written objections received from the COUNTY within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the
objections(s). In the event that the PARTIES cannot mutually resolve any written objection(s) submitted by
the COUNTY within the thirty (30) calendar day time frame, or such other time frame as the PARTIES may
mutually agree, the objections shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in
Section No. 16. Pending resolution of the objections(s), the PARTIES agree that the COUNTY shall pay that
portion of the bill that is undisputed.

CITY shall credit the COUNTY for such overpayment in the next monthly payment owing by the COUNTY.
Provided, however, in the event the Lease Agreement is terminated at such time that the overpayment is
determined, the CITY shall reimburse the COUNTY for any overpayment within thirty (30) calendar days.
To the extent that the COUNTY was under billed in any year and the Lease Agreement is still in effect, the
COUNTY shall reimburse the CITY for any underpayment in the next monthly payment owing by the

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter "MOU") is entered into by and between
the City of Spokane Valley (hereinafter "the City") and Spokane County (hereinafter "the County"),
sometimes referred to jointly as "Parties".
WITNESSETH;
WHEREAS, the Parties executed a document entitled "LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY AND SPOKANE COUNTY REGARDING THE SPOKANE
VALLEY PRECINCT BUILDING LOCATED AT 12710 EAST SPRAGUE, SPOKANE
VALLEY" dated September 13, 2007 by the City and October 2, 2007 by the County, whereby the
Parties reduced to writing their understanding regarding the terms and conditions under which the
County may occupy portions of a building located at 12710 East Sprague Avenue, Spokane Valley,
Washington, 99216 ("Premises"); and
WHEREAS, Section 7 of the Lease Agreement is entitled "MAINTENANCE AND
OPERATIONS COSTS". The Parties have determined that it is appropriate to clarify certain
language in Section 7 consistent with the Parties understanding of that Section.
NOW, THEREFORE, the following understanding is agreed upon:
1. Parties. The Parties to this MOU are the City of Spokane Valley and Spokane
County.
2. Purpose, The purpose of this MOU is to clarify the intent of the Parties as to
certain terms and conditions set forth in that document entitled "LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY AND SPOKANE COUNTY REGARDING THE SPOKANE
VALLEY PRECINCT BUILDING LOCATED AT 12710 EAST SPRAGUE, SPOKANE
VALLEY" ("the Lease Agreement") dated September 13, 2007 by the City and October 2, 2007 by
the County.
3. Terms of the Memorandum of Understanding. The following costs, benefitting
only the Spokane Valley Police Department, shall be excluded from the base costs used in the
calculation of the County's share of Precinct maintenance and operation ("M&O").
(a) Capital:
If the capital costs incurred in the Premises only benefits the Spokane Valley Police
Department area, then City shall assume 100% of those costs. This includes, for
example, the construction of the Spokane Valley Police Department's Administrative
Lieutenant's Office, as well as the Spokane Valley Police Department's cubicle
installation. If capital costs incurred in the Premises only benefits District Court,
then County would be charged at 100% of cost. If capital costs, however, are shared
for the Premises, then costs would be included in the base costs and charged to the
County at its current percentage occupancy of the Premises, which is currently 15%.
Page 1 of 3
ao1L-I8q
(b)
Precinct Maintenance and Operations:
All Precinct maintenance costs that are uniquely specific to the Spokane Valley
Police Department areas shall be excluded from the base costs used to determine
County's share of the M&O. This would include such items as service calls/repairs
to the police garage gate mechanism. The intent of this clarification would be to
remove those expenses that do not have a similar use in the Court or other shared
areas.
(c) City Maintenance Staff time:
City will not track its maintenance staff time, and corresponding staff costs, incurred
on maintenance projects specific to the Party benefitting from the project. Instead
staff time costs for maintenance projects will be considered as a cost allocable based
upon square footage charges allocated to all occupants of the Premises. The reasons
for this clarification are:
(1) this maintenance is mostly carried out on projects that would be
considered building -wide in nature or, if occurring in the Spokane Valley
Police Department one year, would inevitably occur in the other areas at other
times due to similar uses. An example is patching of a wall or repairing a
door in the Court and/or Spokane Valley Police Department areas;
(2) the costs incurred by City staff in such maintenance projects is minimal;
(3) the County allocates similar facilities maintenance based on square
footage; and
(4) typically, capital projects are performed by contractors.
4. Other Provisions of Lease Agreement Remain Unchanged. All remaining provisions
of the Lease Agreement are unaffected by this MOU and continue in full force and effect.
5. Effective Date. This MOU shall be in effect the day following the date the last
signature is affixed hereto and govern the 2013 settle and adjust and all subsequent years of the
Lease Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this MOU to be executed on date and year
opposite their respective signatures.

Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ® new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Intergovernmental Agreement for Commute Trip
Reduction
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 70.94
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council authorized the City Manager to execute
interlocal agreement C11-146 on September 13, 2011, agreement C13-155 on August 27, 2013,
and agreement C15-151, on December 29, 2015.
BACKGROUND: The attached interlocal agreement is between Spokane County and the City of
Spokane Valley. The agreement allows the Spokane County Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)
department to retain the City's state -issued CTR funds in return for developing, implementing,
and administering CTR plans and ordinances for all affected employers within the City of Spokane
Valley. The CTR Law was passed by the State legislature in 1991 to address traffic congestion,
air pollution and petroleum fuel consumption. The CTR Efficiency Act was passed in 2006
requiring local governments in urban areas with traffic congestion to develop programs that
reduce drive -alone trips and vehicle miles travelled per capita. All employers with one hundred
or more full time employees are required to implement CTR programs and make good faith efforts
to achieving goals for reducing single -occupant vehicle trips. There are 18 affected employers in
Spokane Valley.
This agreement replaces the previous agreement, C15-151, which expired on June 30, 2017.
The agreement is for two years and expires on June 30, 2019. The agreement aligns with the
state budget cycle but each new agreement comes out a few months after the previous cycle has
ended. The County continues to provide services through the interim period.
There are no substantive changes from the previous agreement. The legal department has
reviewed the agreement.
OPTIONS: 1.) Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement; 2.) request changes or
more information; 3.) Have the City assume responsibility for overseeing the CTR programs for
all affected employers in the City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute the Interlocal Agreement Between Spokane County and the City of Spokane Valley
Regarding Commute Trip Reduction Implementation.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The County would retain the City's state -appropriated funds
of $63,519.30. If the agreement is not approved the City would have to dedicate these funds to
the CTR program and administer the CTR programs of all 18 affected employers in Spokane
Valley.

Exhibit I
Funding Allocation Methodology
RCW 70.94.544 authorizes the CTR Board to determine the allocation of program funds made
available for the purpose of implementing CTR plans. The funding allocated for local
implementation of CTR activities in July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019 is based on the decision
taken by the CTR Board at its June 19, 2017 meeting. At that meeting, the CTR board passed a
motion to continue the existing funding policy and grant the same allocation from the previous
biennium to implementers in the 2017-2019 biennial allocation.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Approval of Solid Waste Drop -Box Collection
Services Contracts with Sunshine and Waste Management
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Administrative Report March 29, 2016, May 31, 2016,
August 30, 2016, September 13, 2016, and October 4, 2016. On October 4, 2016, City Council
gave consensus for staff to release the RFP with changes as directed. On February 14, 2017,
City Council received a report on the next steps for the RFP selection process. On March 7,
2017, City Council received a report on the initial rate, alternatives, and contract modification
results. On April 4, 2017, City Council selected Waste Management to provide solid waste
collection, recycling, and compostable services under an exclusive contract, and selected
Waste Management, Sunshine, and Waste Connections to provide drop -box collection services
under non-exclusive contracts. On May 23, 2017, City Council approved the contract with
Waste Management for solid waste collection, recycling, and compostable services and
authorized its execution. Administrative report on the drop -box contracts on December 5, 2017.
BACKGROUND: On November 17, 2014, the City entered into contracts for solid waste
collection services with Waste Management of Washington, Inc. (Waste Management) and
Sunshine Disposal, Inc. (Sunshine) to cancel their G -Certificates, extinguish any remaining
rights to "measurable damages," and to allow the City to fully assume control of solid waste
collection. These contracts maintain the prior services provided by Waste Management and
Sunshine under their G -Certificates and terminate on March 31, 2018.
Beginning in early 2016, the City undertook an extensive process to procure long-term solid
waste collection services to commence after the current contracts terminate. This competitive
request for proposals process has allowed the City to obtain some additional services
(described in more detail below) along with lower competitive rates, while still maintaining
conformity with the City's adopted Solid Waste Management Plan.
At the April 4, 2017 meeting, staff reviewed the scoring and recommendation for the three
responsive haulers. After discussion, City Council voted to add two alternatives to the contract:
requiring all subscribers to use hauler -provided carts, resulting in a savings in rates, and
including the alternative for an annual one time on-call bulky item pick-up option for subscribers,
resulting in a minor addition to the rates, though overall rates are still lower than current rates.
City Council also voted to select Waste Management to provide solid waste, recycling, and
compostable collection for single-family residential, multifamily residential, and commercial
services under an exclusive contract. Further, City Council voted to select Waste Management,
Sunshine, and Waste Connections to provide drop -box services under three non-exclusive
contracts. Finally, as part of its votes, City Council authorized the City Manager to finalize
contracts with the selected haulers and to bring the final contracts back for City Council
approval.
On May 23, 2017, City Council considered and approved the final exclusive contract to provide
solid waste, recycling, and compostable collection for single-family residential, multifamily
residential, and commercial services with Waste Management. That contract contains the main
Page 1 1
portion of solid waste services within the City, including all single-family residential, multifamily
residential, and commercial subscription solid waste, recycling, and compostable services. It
included the two alternatives selected by City Council:
Alternative one: Universal carts. Under this alternative, the Contractor will provide all
single-family and commercial can customers a wheeled cart to use instead of cans.
Alternative three: On-call household clean-up. This alternative provides for customers to
receive an annual removal of (1) one cubic yard of garbage weighing not more than 65
pounds and (2) two large bulky items (such as appliances, couches, mattresses etc.) as
part of their garbage subscription.
It also includes an administrative fee of 1.0%. The administrative fee is included in all services
under this contract. It is embedded in the fees on customer invoices and is used by the City for
management of solid waste, including management and administration of the contract.
Since May 23, 2017, the City has been working to finalize the non-exclusive contracts for drop -
box, or also called roll -off, solid waste services with Sunshine, Waste Connections, and Waste
Management. Initially, Waste Connections notified the City that since it did not have established
operations already existing, it did not believe it was cost effective for them to begin services at
this point for the smaller revenue value drop -box contract. Thus, the City continued working
with Sunshine and Waste Management to finalize the drop -box contract.
This process took more time than anticipated because the original contract was set up for
comprehensive solid waste, recycling, and compostable services and had to be modified
substantially to fit drop -box services. Drop -box services involve much more basic types of
collection service. Generally, there are a limited number of sizes of drop boxes ranging from 10
to 40 cubic yards in size. These are provided to customers upon request and are generally
removed upon request, although some customers do have recurring pick-ups. Drop off and
pick-up of a drop box occurs with one truck, as it uses a winch to roll the box onto the back of
the truck. Thus, each truck must drop its current load before it can service any other customers.
Many of the customer service requirements that are necessary for residential subscription
services do not exist with drop -box services. Thus, staff and the selected providers have
worked extensively to pare down the contract to fit the nature of drop -box services. Further, just
as occurred in the primary contract with Waste Management, there were a number of technical,
minor operational, and rate details that were worked out to ensure smooth operations during the
term of the contract.
The City and Sunshine and City and Waste Management have come to agreement on a final
contract and staff is now presenting the final non-exclusive contracts with Sunshine and Waste
Management for comprehensive solid waste drop box collection services for City Council
approval.
The final contracts reflect the general terms of the draft distributed as part of the RFP, including:
• Ten-year term, with two optional two-year renewals.
• Timely and complete drop box service for sizes ranging from 10 cubic yard to 40 cubic
yards.
• Multifamily recycling offered to any multifamily unit that is primarily served by drop box
solid waste service.
• Customer service and reporting requirements.
Page 1 2
• Set rates with a known annual escalator that is limited to 90% of CPI. Rates also are a
"cap" that cannot be exceeded, but haulers may offer lower rates.
The primary changes from the draft distributed as part of the RFP are as follows:
• Separated drop -box services into separate non-exclusive contracts. This required
removal of a number of sections related to single family and multifamily solid waste
services, compostable services, single-family recycling services, and commercial
services. The City worked with both haulers to prepare two contracts that are
substantially the same for continuity of services amongst the providers and for ease of
management from the City side.
• Removed vehicle age requirement and added requirement for maintenance reporting
that must be available upon request. Further, vehicles that are not presentable, in safe
operating condition, are not washed, or that are leaking may be required to be removed
until they are brought up to the required condition.
• Clarifying that pursuant to the Spokane Valley Solid Waste Management Plan,
multifamily recycling is an optional fee-based service available where applicable. There
are a few existing instances where multifamily complexes use drop boxes as their
primary garbage service. Thus, since the RFP option was for the status quo
arrangement, this allowance has been retained. However, in the event a multifamily
complex uses drop boxes as its main garbage service, it must be given information and
encouraged to recycle. As in the main contract, multifamily recycling is not required.
• Incorporated each hauler's company details, such as company name, notification
information, etc. throughout the contract.
• Incorporated all changes that were accepted during the RFP open period pursuant to
distributed addenda.
• Incorporated minor grammatical and definitional changes for consistency throughout
the contract.
• Incorporated minor operational changes. These changes conform to current Hauler
practices and do not change the substance of the contract, but will assist with
operational efficiencies. Examples include allowing containers to be of the currently
used colors rather than requiring them to be gray and allowing for customer notification
via phone or other methods at contractor's choosing.
• Setting the City's contract administration fee at 0.0%, but allowing for it to be increased
in the future in the event the City determines it is necessary. Currently, staff determined
that the revenue received from an administrative fee on drop box services would not
justify the staff time and resources necessary to collect and administer it.
Upon execution of the drop box contracts, the City will completely be managing solid waste
collection. Staff will continue working with the new contracted haulers in implementing the
contracts and preparing for the contract start date on April 1, 2018. As part of that process, staff
will work with the contracted haulers to review the City's options, such as code amendments or
other enforcement options, for ensuring that only contracted haulers are allowed to provide solid
waste collection services within the City in order to keep the rates low through the period of the
contract.
Page 1 3
OPTIONS: Since there are two contracts, there will be a separate motion for each contract. It
is anticipated these will be made after the staff presentation that covers both contracts.
(a) Motion to approve the contract with Sunshine Disposal Inc. for comprehensive drop -box
container collection services in substantially the form as presented and to authorize the City
Manager to execute such contract; or take other action as deemed necessary or appropriate.
(b) Motion to approve the contract with Waste Management for comprehensive drop -box
container collection services in substantially the form as presented to authorize the City
Manager to execute such contract; or take other action as deemed necessary or appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTIONS:
(a) I move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the contract with Sunshine
Disposal Inc. for comprehensive drop -box container collection services in substantially the form
as presented.
(b) I move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the contract with Waste
Management for comprehensive drop -box container collection services in substantially the form
as presented.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Staff time for administration and management of the solid
waste collection contract; collection of an administrative fee on the main solid waste, recycling,
and compostables contract to cover staff costs and assist with management of solid waste
within the City. City has contracted with Epicenter Services, LLC, to assist with the competitive
procurement process. The contract provides for the City to pay Epicenter up to $47,500 for
services. Costs for the consultant will be reimbursed from the City's solid waste administrative
fee in the main solid waste, recycling, and compostables Waste Management contract.

Attachment D
Rate Modification Examples
Customer charges (including any embedded Administrative Fec) shall be adjusted annually, pursuant to
Section 4.2 and as described below;
The sum of the collection and any Administrative Fec components listed in Attachment 13 shall be
increased or decreased by the amount of the CPI change:
NCC = PCC x [1 + 90°fox 1:CPI 1 nCI'1)/2) OCPI
oC11
Where NCC = The new collection and any Administrative Fee components,
adjusted for excise tax on the Administrative fee, of the
customer rate for a particular service level; and
PCC
The previous collection and Administrative Fee components,
adjusted for excise tax on the Administrative Fee, of the
Customer rate for a particular service level; and
tuCP1 The semiannual 2.'d half -CP] average for [he previous year (for
the, period July I- December 31, 2017, for example); and
nCPI The semiannual 1 'c half CI'1 average for the current year (for
the period January 1- June 30, 2018, for example); and
oC1'1 = The C'PI average value for the previous twelve month period
(tor the period July 1, 2016 — June 30, 2017, for example).
For example, using an hypothetical customer rate of $18.52 per month: if the previous CPI
is 143.2., t1ic. new CPI is 1443, then the: January 2019 Customer charge for that service
would be:
(144.3-143_2)
New Rate —$18.52x[1+90%x. ]=$18.64
(143.2)
Thus, the new Customer charge for the hypothetical service would be $18.64.
The City's disposal fee as it exists on the date of execution or as thereafter modified shall also he
itemized separately on Customer invoiccs. The Contractor shall charge: Customers the actual
disposal cost without mark-up.
Administrative Fee Adjustment
In the event the City elects to include an Administrative Fee, the Contractor's service rates shown in
Attachment 13 shall include the embedded Administrative Fee, which may be adjusted from time to time,
pursuant to Section 4.2. The initial contract rates do not have an Administrative Fee. However, an example
City of Spokane Valley 4 December, 2017
Coin p rehensive Drop -box Conf iincr Collection Contract
Sunshine Disposal Inc.
of how the Administrative Fee may he incorporated is as follows: Assuming an Administrative Fee
corresponding to a 1. )% the on gross receipts from those Cus[ome:rs, on an original hypothetical service
fee of $49.50 and creating a new rate of$50.00:
Service rate ($i19.50 + Administra[ive FCC. ($0.495) + Excise Tax at 1.5% on Administrative Fee
($0.007) = Customer rate of $50.00 (rounded)_
In the event the City Administrative Fee is adjusted, the Administrative. Fee portion of the Contractor's
Customer rates shall he adjusted in a manner that retains the Contractor's underlying compensation to
unsure tlta[ the Contractor remains whole.

Rate Modification Examples
Customer charges (including any embedded Administrative Fee) shall be adjusted annually, pursuant to
Section 4.2 and as described below:
The sum of the collection and any Administrative Fee components listed in Attachment 13 shall be
increased or decreased by the amount of the CPI change:
NCC — PCC x [ 1 + 90% x ((mCPI 1 nCPI)f2) — oCI'I
oCP1
Where NCC — The new collection and anyF Administrative Fcc components,
adjusted for excise tax on the Administrative Fee, of the
customer rate for a particular service level; and
PCC = The previous collection and Administrative Fee components,
adjusted for excise tax on the Administrative Fee, of the
Customer rate tar a particular service level; and
inCPI = The semiannual 21 1 luilf CPT a veragc t'or the previous year (for
the period July I- December 31, 2017, for example); and
nCPI — The semiannual Pt half CPI average for the current year (for
the period January 1- June 30, 2018, for example); and
oCPI — The CPT average value for the previous twelve month period
(for the period July 1, 2016 June 30, 2017,1 r cxafrtplc),
For example, using an hypothetical customer rate of $18,52 per month: if the previous CPI
is 1'13.2, the new CP1 is 144.3, then the January 2019 Customer charge for that service
would be:
(144 3-143.2)
New 1=$18-64
(1'13.2)
Thus, the new Customer charge for the hypothetical service would lac: $18.64.

of how the Administrative Fee may be incorporated is as follows; Assuming an Administrative Fee

Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative report— proposed revisions and additions to chapters 7.05,
and 17.110 SVMC.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 7.05 SVMC; chapter 17.100 SVMC; chapter 7.48 RCW.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of chapter 7.05 SVMC, relating to nuisances,
in 2003; amended in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012, and 2017. Chapter 17.100, relating to enforcement,
was recodified in its entirety in 2016.
BACKGROUND: The City adopted chapter 7.05 SVMC relating to nuisance properties shortly
after becoming a city in 2003. The most common types of nuisances we have dealt with over
the years have involved accumulations of trash, junk vehicles, and accumulations of broken
machinery or equipment. Less frequently, we deal with other types of nuisance violations such
as illegal structures, encroachments on sidewalks (vegetation, debris), fire hazards, noise, dust,
graffiti, and excessive yard sales. Chapter 17.100 SVMC is the enforcement provisions for the
Code, including nuisances and various land use violations. Chapter 17.110 involves fees and
penalties, including fees related to appealing code enforcement violations.
The City has altered and refined the nuisance provisions over the years to make them more
effective, or to address new items as appropriate. The current Code Enforcement Officer is Nicole
Montano, who recently joined us from Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Services
(SCRAPS). On average, the City handles 330 new compliance cases annually. Of that number,
the Office of the City Attorney has been forwarded an average of 30 cases per year since 2013
to pursue potential legal action.
A nuisance case may be initiated in one of several ways, including observation by City staff, on
referral from another agency, or through receipt of information from citizens. When Ms. Montano
initiates a code compliance investigation, she will generally engage in the following process:
- visit the property in person to determine whether there is a likely violation;
- if so, attempt to make contact with the owner or occupant in an effort to get compliance
through the easiest means possible, voluntary compliance;
- if it cannot be cleaned up immediately, a warning notice would then likely be issued to provide
specific information on the nature of the violation, as well as what is necessary to cure it
including applicable timeframes;
- most people are interested in executing a Voluntary Compliance Agreement (VCA) with the
City, which spells out what will be done, including timeframes, to come into compliance.
Successful completion of the terms of the VCA results in suspension of the penalty;
- staff would follow up after the time for compliance in the warning notice had expired. If the
violation was taken care of, the City would issue a letter to that effect;
Page 1 of 4
- if the violation had not been eliminated, the City would issue a Notice and Order, which if not
appealed, assesses a minimum penalty of $500 and identifies the time by which the violation
must be abated by the property owner or occupant;
- if the Notice and Order is not appealed, and the violation not cleaned up, then the case would
get referred to the Office of the City Attorney for further enforcement action;
- the Office of the City Attorney attempts to contact violators as well in an effort to get
compliance instead of filing suit in Superior Court. If we are successful, then the City will
issue a letter that the property is in compliance;
- if we don't get a sufficient response, we file suit and seek an abatement order from the Court
which will order the owner/occupant to remove the violations and, if they fail to do so, authorize
the City to enter the property after 20 days to abate the violation. After such an abatement,
the City is authorized to get a lien against the property in the full amount, however only the
first $2,000 of that amount is a high priority lien on par with County and municipal taxes. We
generally have to wait until the property transfers before we get paid the rest of the money we
spent on abatement. There are some cases where the City never gets paid, however, the
City was able to assist the neighborhood in removing a blight that was likely reducing their
property values.
Staff has become aware of the need to consider several revisions to chapters 7.05 and 17.100
SVMC. In addition to substantive revisions, staff looked at both entire chapters in an attempt to
update language as appropriate, or correct minor issues that may exist and make the language
more accurate. It is anticipated that the Council may have questions about these minor
corrections, and please feel free to ask. The substantive changes are as follows:
(1) Chronic Nuisances. This would add provisions for chronic nuisance properties. Chronic
nuisances involve numerous, on-going criminal activities, including search warrants, arrest
warrants, active commission of crimes such as drug crimes, burglary, etc. These impacts
occur not only on the subject property, but also for blocks around in the form of residential
burglary, car prowling, vehicle theft, graffiti, and vandalism.
We worked with Spokane County to draft new provisions to address these chronic nuisance
properties. We would rely primarily on our Police Department, staffed by the Spokane County
Sheriff's Office, to provide the relevant background information on chronic criminal activity for
certain properties. Staff from the County, Sheriff's Office, and Spokane Valley agreed it would
be helpful to use a very similar approach across the two jurisdictions since Deputies would be
doing the bulk of the evidence gathering to support pursuing these types of cases. The
proposed new Code provisions define what kind of criminal activity qualifies as a chronic
nuisance, but specifically excludes domestic violence charges so we don't re -victimize the
victims of domestic violence.
If a property has either four qualifying criminal events, plus at least one regular nuisance
(garbage, junk vehicles, noise, etc) in a 12 month period, we would be able to proceed with
imposing this violation. Alternatively, if a property has five qualifying criminal acts in a 12
month period, we would be able to proceed.
If Spokane County Superior Court agrees that it meets the criteria, we would seek an
abatement order from the Court that precludes the bad behavior, and can include an order
that the premises be vacated for up to one year by the owner or occupant if lesser remedies
are insufficient.
Staff seeks input from the Council on whether it would like to have the draft language on
chronic nuisances move forward for a first reading.
Page 2 of 4
(2) Noise and odors relating to urban animal keeping. The Council and Planning Commission
have engaged in considerable discussion about urban animal keeping. One of the impacts of
these activities is increased noise and odors for neighboring properties. Increasing the
number and types of animals allowed in an urban environment will undoubtedly result in
increased complaints from adjoining properties about increased noise, increased odor, loose
animals, and likely flies. This is not to say that these impacts should be the determinative
factor for the Council on whether it moves ahead with expanding the areas where such
animals will be allowed, including the types and numbers allowed, but it should be at least
part of the Council's consideration.
The City of Spokane expanded its urban animal keeping in recent years. They report that this
has resulted in increased calls for service by their code compliance office to deal with issues
like noise, odor, setback of pens from property lines, etc. These impacts are separate from
dealing with animals on the loose, which Spokane contracts with SCRAPS to handle. This is
a separate contract from Spokane's contract regarding dogs and cats, and Spokane Valley
would need to enter into a separate contract with SCRAPS as well to respond to animals other
than dogs and cats that are loose.
If the City adopts amendments to the urban animal keeping regulations, it is likely to have a
significant impact on the workload for the City's one code compliance officer.
Staff seeks input from the Council regarding whether the Council wants to continue pursuing
amendments for urban animal keeping. If so, staff may need to present additional options for
amending this Code because this is currently considered "permitted agricultural activities"
regarding noise and dust. Or, Council may be comfortable with exempting animal keeping
entirely from the nuisance provisions. If so, staff would like direction on this issue.
(3) Other noise complaints. There are several additional items relating to noise staff wanted
to bring to Council's attention. Primarily, this amendment would bring our Code in line with
the statutory requirements, with a minor addition, and state the requirements directly in our
Code rather than relying on a citation to state law without including all of the language.
The additional provision (SVMC 7.05.040(L)(2)(o) relates to an issue that has come up several
times involving calls from neighbors of schools where events occur outdoors that generate
significant noise. Examples are sporting events like high school football games, or marching
bands practicing. The proposed revision makes such events exempt from the nuisance
regulations because they cannot effectively be muffled or eliminated.
Staff seeks input from Council on whether to include these proposed revisions on a future
agenda for a first reading.
(4) Yard sales. SVMC 7.05.040(0) currently limits yard sales to no more than seven
consecutive days, or no more than two consecutive weekends. These were the limits imposed
by Council a number of years ago in an effort to try to balance the various interests. Several
Councilmembers noted this year that there are a number of properties that appear to be
having yard sales throughout the spring and summer months. This impacts neighborhoods
by increasing traffic when people are trying to enjoy the weekend in their yards. Some
properties have yard sales so often it appears they are operating a commercial business in
residentially -zoned areas.
The Council may amend the language to further limit the holding of yard sales by putting a
cap on the total number that may be held at a property during a calendar year. The discussion
draft suggests a total of two, but the Council may change that.
Page 3 of 4
Staff would like direction on whether to include any additional limitations on the number of
total yard sales that may be held at a residentially -zoned property each year.
(5) Dwelling or camping in the rights-of-way. Currently, there are no prohibitions on people
living in motorhomes or travel trailers in the rights-of-way unless they are there for more than
30 days. As such, it is not uncommon to see motorhomes or trailers in the streets, particularly
in residential areas, with long extension cords running from them to a building. Similarly, staff
has noticed in a number of places steps and slide outs extending into the street, sometimes
into or near the lanes of travel. This creates a hazard to the driving public and to those who
are in the motorhomes and trailers.
It is presumed that many of these are related to seasonal visits from relatives, although others
are pretty clearly long-term stays extending several months or more. The City has received
some complaints from residents about both of these types of situations.
Staff would like to determine whether Council would like to have additional discussion about
this issue. If so, it may be that the language would be placed in another Title of the Code (for
example in Title 9 relating to vehicles and traffic), but we are interested in whether this is a
topic of interest generally for Council.
(6) Camping on private residential property. The City has received a number of complaints or
comments over the years from citizens in residentially -zoned, property concerned about
somebody in the neighborhood staying long term in a motorhome or travel trailer in the
driveway or rear of the property. Under current City Code, a person is permitted to stay in this
fashion for up to 30 days.
Staff seeks direction from Council on whether it would like staff to come back at a later date
with more information on this topic and determine at that time if Council would like to consider
another Code amendment.
OPTIONS: Determine which, if any, of these topics the Council would like to have come forward
on a future agenda for an ordinance first reading.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Unknown.

Code Compliance Update and
Proposed Revisions
Cary Driskell
City Attorney, City of Spokane Valley
Erik Lamb
Deputy City Attorney, City of Spokane Valley
December 12, 2017
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney r
Background
• The City adopted its nuisance provisions shortly after incorporation in
2003.
Prior to incorporation, Spokane County had done very little code compliance.
As a result, there were many properties with junk vehicles, trash,
accumulations of broken machinery, etc.
These provisions have been revised over time as needed to address new or
different situations.
The primary provisions are in chapter 7.05 SVMC (nuisances) and chapter
17.1oo (enforcement).
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Spokane Valley Code Compliance
The City has one Code Enforcement Officer, Nicole Montano. She
recently joined the City after working for Spokane County Regional
Animal Protection Service (SCRAPS). For many years, the City had two
Enforcement Officers, but reduced that to one approximately three years
ago.
On average, the City has 33o code compliance cases per year. Of those, an
average of 3o of those cases are referred to the Office of the City Attorney
per year.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
How a case is initiated
The City receives information of a potential violation generally one of
three ways:
(1) Complaint from somebody in the neighborhood (most often);
(2) Information from a City staff member, generally from the Code
Enforcement Officer, an inspector, the Police Department, or other staff;
(3) Referral from another agency such as Spokane Valley Fire, Spokane County
Fire District 8, Spokane Regional Health District, or Spokane Regional
Clean Air Agency (least often) .
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Brief explanation of process
Once the Code Enforcement Officer receives information of a possible
violation, she will go to the site to determine if it constitutes a violation;
While there, she will attempt to make contact with the owner/occupant to
advise them of the violation and attempt to get them to identify a cleanup
plan;
If no contact is made, or she is not satisfied with their response, she will
issue a warning notice in writing outlining the violation and what needs to
be done to remedy it, including a deadline;
If the owner/occupant contacts the City, then an offer is made to enter
into a Voluntary Compliance Agreement that states with specificity the
violation and a timeline for their compliance;
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Brief explanation of process —cont.
If the City does not get a response to the warning notice, we issue a Notice
of Violation. This can be appealed to the Hearing Examiner if the person
believes their property is not in violation of the Code;
Alternatively, the person responsible for the violation can contact the City
and still enter into a Voluntary Compliance Agreement.
The City strongly prefers that owner/occupants clean up their own property,
rather than have the City do it and charge them.
At this point, the case would be transferred to the Office of the City
Attorney;
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Brief explanation of process —cont.
Before our office files suit, we send a final letter to the owner/occupant in
an effort to get them engaged in the process and clean the property;
If the Notice and Order is not appealed to the Hearing Examiner, and the
property not abated, then the City can file suit in Spokane County
Superior Court to enforce the Notice and Order;
Often times, once served with a lawsuit, the owner/occupant will contact
our office exhibiting a strong desire to resolve the matter without further
action in Court. In these instances, we require the party to enter into an
agreed court order allowing them additional time, with the caveat that if
they fail to meet the schedule, the City is authorized without further court
order to enter the property with a third party work crew to clean up;
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Brief explanation of process —cont.
Either way, we get a court order requiring the owner/occupant to clean
their property, and if they fail to do so, authorizes the City to do it and file
a lien against their property;
We are able to get a lien for the entire amount (most are under $5,000),
but only the first $2,000 of that amount is considered a special assessment
and high priority lien. That $2,000 can be collected with the property
taxes the following year, but any remainder is a regular priority lien and
must wait for the property to transfer.
The City could sue to foreclose on these liens, but the Council and staff have
been hesitant to force anybody out of their homes for these liens.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Proposed revisions —minor revisions
Whenever we consider amendments to the SVMC, we also read through the
remaining portions of the applicable chapter to determine whether the language
needs updating or altered for legal reasons (changes in state law), or because
after using it for years we have determined that changing it a little bit would
make it easier to understand for the public or staff.
Chapters 7.05 and 17.100 had a large number of these types of minor revisions.
As a result, the draft code has a large amount of underline and strikethrough.
However, most of this is minor word changes, or moving things around.
Staff would be happy to answer any questions about these proposed revisions.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Proposed revisions —substantive revisions
There are six main topic areas involving proposed substantive revisions:
(i) Chronic nuisances;
(2) Noise and odors relating to urban animal keeping;
(3) Other noise complaints;
(4) Yard sales;
(5) Camping in motorhomes/travel trailers in the rights-of-way; and
(6) Camping in motorhomes/travel trailers on residential property.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Chronic nuisances
These are properties that are locations for significant, on-going criminal
activity.
They are a substantial negative impact for the neighborhoods they are in.
Existing SVMC provisions don't give the City adequate tools to address
these types of properties.
Staff has worked extensively with our counterparts at Spokane County and
Spokane to research and draft proposed revisions to the nuisance
regulations that would give us better tools. Spokane already has similar
regulations, and Spokane County anticipates adopting them in January
that are nearly identical to these proposed regulations.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Chronic nuisance defined
• Relates to "on-going criminal activity related to the premises":
(i) criminal activity is or has been occurring at the premises; or
(2) criminal activity is or has been occurring near the premises and such activity has a reasonable and proximate
connection to the premises, whether by owners, occupants, or persons visiting such owners or occupants.
Examples of conduct or actions that constitute criminal activity occurring at or near the premises of the subject
property include, but are not limited to, the following:
a. Service of a search warrant by law enforcement personnel; or
b. Arrest of one or more individuals by law enforcement personnel during any 24-hour period; or
c. Commission of a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony at or near the premises and where there is a
reasonable and proximate connection between the crime or criminal and the premises, including those visiting the
owner or occupants of the premises; or
d. Visits by law enforcement personnel which occur based upon a reasonable belief by law enforcement that a
crime is occurring or has occurred, but which do not result in any of the actions identified in (1)-(3) above; provided
that visits alone may not form the sole basis for determining a premises to be a chronic nuisance premises.
Domestic violence charges do not count toward this because we don't want to re -victimize domestic
violence victims.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Prohibited chronic nuisances
The City may declare a parcel or lot of real property, a building, including
but not limited to the structure or any separate part of portion thereof,
whether permanent or not, or the ground itself, or a unit within a
building, constitutes a chronic nuisance when any of the following
conditions occur:
(i) During any continuous 12 -month period, the property in question:
(a) a final determination has been made by the City that conditions on the property
constitute a nuisance pursuant to chapters 7.05 SVMC and 17.100 SVMC; and
(b) has four or more occurrences of on-going criminal activity related to the premises; or
(2) During any 12 -month period, the property in question has five or more
occurrences of on-going criminal activity related to the premises.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Defenses to chronic nuisance determination.
It shall be a defense against a declaration of chronic nuisance if the person
alleged to be responsible for the nuisance:
(1) affirmatively engages in reasonable and ongoing efforts to remedy the
nuisance and/or on-going criminal activity; and
(2) is not the perpetrator nor allows the perpetration of the nuisance or on-
going criminal activities.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Consequences of being a chronic nuisance.
City would be able to seek a court order directing that the bad behavior
stop and, if that is not effective, seek an order closing one or more units if
an apartment building or require that a structure be boarded up and not
used for an extended period of time, up to one year. This would preclude
use by anybody, including the owner or tenant.
Staff is seeking consensus on whether this item can move forward for a
first reading.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Noise and odor complaints —animal keeping.
Over the past year, Council has discussed potentially expanding urban animal
keeping. Staff was directed to consider potential impacts, including nuisance
impacts, to residential neighborhoods.
We don't know what the exact impact would be from expanded urban animal
keeping, but the City would doubtless receive numerous complaints as Spokane
has following its recent regulatory change on this. We have one Code
Enforcement Officer, where Spokane hs an entire department.
p p
Staff is seeking direction on whether Council wants to continue exploring
expansion of urban animal keeping because it would mean we have a more
detailed discussion on this topic.
Currently, noise and dust impacts resulting from animal keeping and other
agricultural activities are exempt. Expansion of animal keeping would result in
increased complaints.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Noise/odor —animal keeping cont.
If the Council wants to expand urban animal keeping, does the Council
also want to remove the exemption for noise and dust related to animal
keeping?
Staff is looking for direction from Council on this issue of nuisances
relating to urban animal keeping.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Other noise complaints.
There are several other proposed changes relating to noise:
Currently, SVMC 7.o5.o4o(L) simply refers to state law for noise restrictions.
Staff recommends, in this instance, listing the entire regulation for clarity.
Staff recommends one addition to the state requirements, outright exempting
organized activities at public parks, playgrounds, swimming pools, schools,
etc. during hours of operation.
This will exempt things like high school football games, marching band practice, etc.
Staff seeks consensus from Council on whether to proceed as drafted.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Yard sales
Currently, a property is allowed to have a yard sale for up to seven
consecutive days or two consecutive weekends.
Frequent yard sales bring a lot of traffic and disruption to a neighborhood.
Staff is seeking direction on whether to add a cap on the number of yard
sale events that may be held per calendar year. The draft language is
capped at two, but Council is welcome to suggest a different cap, if any.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Camping in motorhomes - ROW
The City has received numerous complaints about people staying in
motorhomes/trailers in the rights-of-way. Although some of these relate to visiting
relatives, most are not. Concerns include:
Hazardous conditions have been observed including steps and sliders extending near or into
the travelled roadway;
• It is unclear how human waste is being handled;
• Neighbors complain about having people staying long term outside their residence;
There are safety concerns in the event a vehicle collides with one of these while people are
sleeping inside.
Staff seeks direction on whether the Council wants to consider prohibiting this activity
in the Code, which may be in chapter 7.05 or in Title 9 relating to traffic safety.
City of Spokane Valley - Office of the City Attorney
Camping in motorhomes —private property.
Similarly, the City receives numerous complaints about people living or
staying long term in motorhomes/travel trailers on private residential
property. Some of these relate to short term visitors to the adjoining
property, but many others represent a second (illegal) dwelling unit on a
property either in the driveway or rear yard.
Currently, a person may stay on private property in this fashion for up to
3o days. The overwhelming comments from impacted neighbors is that
this is too long. It also represents a very long time for City staff to try to
monitor. Some cities limit such stays on residential property to 7-14 days.
Staff seeks input from Council on whether to bring this issue back for
potential amendment either with the rest of the items or at a later date.
