PROCLAMATION: After Mayor Higgins read the proclamation for Older Americans' Month in Spokane

Term Care of Eastern Washington.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: After explaining the process and ground rules for giving comments, Mayor
Higgins invited general public comments.
Bruce and Jen Tucker — Mr. Tucker said he is the general manager of Al Illuminated Sign, and he has a
client that would like to change his sign, increasing the size and listing the services provided. He said the
business is located between Barker and Hodges on Appleway at the end of the aesthetic corridor. He said
he believes the updated sign adds beautification to the area and he would like to propose an administrative
exception for the updated sign and an amendment to the code and asked Council to approve the amendment
to help this customer thrive in Spokane Valley.
Laura Renz, Spokane — said she is with Northwest Service Dog Alliance and she would like to start the
process for making Working Dog month or week. She said September is Service Dog month but it does not
recognize all working dogs. She said she is starting the steps to begin the month of recognition for working
dogs, and she said she is hoping it will be in August.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: 2018 Budget Amendment — Chelsie Taylor
Mayor Higgins opened the public hearing at 6:36 p.m. Finance Director Taylor said the hearing is for a
2018 proposed budget amendment, which will effect five funds with total revenue increases of
approximately $3.3M and the total expenditures of about $3.8M. She pointed out that page two of the RCA
has an error in the table and dialogue box for which she apologized. She said the revenue increase is listed
as $3.5M and it should be $3.3M and added that will be corrected for the next reading. Ms. Taylor also
pointed out the newly added changes reflecting the generator for City Hall. She then went through the
funds and proposed changes as listed in the packet materials and she said assuming this amendment passes
the first reading, it will return for a second reading at the May 29 Council meeting. Councilmember Wick
asked if the total amount left over from last year was $2.9M and Ms. Taylor confirmed that is correct.
Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no comments were offered. Mayor Higgins closed the public
hearing at 6:42 p.m.
2. First Reading Ordinance 18-011 Amending 2018 Budget — Chelsie Taylor
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and
seconded to advance Ordinance 18-011 amending the 2018 Budget to a second reading. Finance Director
Taylor said this is the first reading of the ordinance amending the 2018 budget. She said it is a companion
item to the public hearing just held and it effects five funds. Councilmember Wick said that during the
February 13th Council meeting, they discussed a shortfall in the street preservation or maintenance funding
and identified a need for $1.8M to maintain the current level of our roads. He said in the past we had a
percentage of the end fund balance set aside that went to the City Hall fund. He said he would like an
amendment to this amendment that sets aside fifty percent of the end fund balance of $1.5M and direct it
to the street fund for the street maintenance program. (While not stated as a motion, Councilmember Peetz
seconded and Council discussed Councilmember Wick's proposed amendment to the Budget amendment).
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 05-22-2018 Page 2 of 6

Councilmember Woodard said he thinks it would be short sighted to use what he considers a windfall to try
to fund road preservation or maintenance. He said ultimately they will have to come up with a solution to
the shortfall, but he said he doesn't think this is plausible. He said the phone tax is down 12.9 percent for
the first quarter, and if we bandaid this now, it does not create a long-term method to keep our roads up.
City Manager Calhoun said the analysis of street fund 101 mentioned by Councilmember Woodard takes
place next week. Deputy Mayor Haley said she agrees it would be a bandaid and she said she is concerned
with the railroad crossings that are causing deaths and where funds will come from to fix those crossings if
we take money from those projects now. Councilmember Wick said this is half of half of our end balance
funds. He said moving $3M to the street 101 fund allows us to have more opportunities and he said there
would still be $1M left to allocate to other projects such as parks or grade separation and that every dollar
spent now helps save money in the future. He said this is a roll over from two years ago and signs show we
have a healthy situation for money. Councilmember Wood said it sounds like sound logic but he would like
to see the report when it comes out; he said he thinks it is premature to do this now. City Manager Calhoun
said the report next week discusses street fund 101 and will not discuss the street preservation fund at all.
Mayor Higgins said street preservation requires dependability and consistency and he said taking funds
from this account does not ensure dependability. Vote by show of hands on the amendment by
Councilmember Wick: In Favor: Councilmembers Peetz, Thompson and Wick. Opposed: Councilmembers
Wood and Woodard, Deputy Mayor Haley and Mayor Higgins. Motion failed.

4. Motion Consideration: Consolidated Rail Infrastructure Grant — Adam Jackson
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded to authorize the City Manager or designee to apply
for CRISI Grant funds for the preliminary engineering (PE) phase only of the Pines/BNSF Grade
Separation Project. Planning/Grants Engineer Jackson said he gave an administrative report on this topic
to Council two weeks ago, and since then the $2.2M PE phase has increased to $2.5M for a couple of
reasons but he said ultimately they do not want to underfund the project. He said as they develop the CRISI
grant application, they feel the $2.5M will complete the PE phase but, he said as they continue to evaluate
and develop the project, it could go back down closer to the $2.2M. He said staff is confident in their
application to SRTC that project costs were adequately covered. He said that the flyer they had for their
visit to Washington DC had a $27M project cost and that was prepared in April using the best information
they had at the time for a projected 2022 Alternative 1 signal price, which he said was the most expensive
alternative we have. He said based on recent information, staff did not think we could finish the project by
the 2022 date and he said the $29M includes a couple years' worth of inflation and should be enough to
cover the project so we are not underfunded with a potential grant award. Mr. Jackson went through the
Powerpoint presentation and said the motion consideration is for staff to apply for the CRISI grant that
requires a minimum twenty percent match but he recommends the City raise their match to fifty percent
which, he said, our funding supports and will better the chances that we get the grant. Mayor Higgins invited
comments from the public; no comments were offered. Councilmember Woodard said he likes the idea of
raising the City match to fifty percent and he said he thinks it puts us in good standing for the federal grant
award. Councilmember Wood said he thinks it is encouraging that we are moving ahead quickly on Pines.
Councilmember Thompson asked what percentage of CRISI grants have had a fifty percent match and Mr.
Jackson said he does not have that information but staff is advocating maximizing the City's dollars because
the grant is very competitive. City Manager Calhoun said the administrative report shows a twenty percent
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 05-22-2018 Page 3 of 6
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
City match, but now staff is recommending a fifty percent match at $1.25M. It was the consensus of Council
to change the City match to fifty percent when applying for the CRISI grant. Vote by Acclamation on the
initial motion: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: After explaining the process and ground rules for giving comments, Mayor
Higgins invited general public comments. No comments were offered.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
5. BUILD Grant Program — Adam Jackson
Economic Development Manager Basinger said he wanted to reemphasize the importance of grade
separating at the rail crossings and he said he knows it seems aggressive in going after grants for projects
but he said he believes the City needs to do this. He said the increase in rail traffic in this corridor will
increase travel delays, impact emergency services, commerce and our economic development efforts. He
said the probability of being awarded funding through the BUILD program is low but he said we need to
continue to stress the importance of grade separating the valley and he said he is confident staff can put
together a high quality application. Planning/Grants Engineer Jackson said the BUILD program replaces
TIGER and he said the Pines/BNSF grade separation is a good project for this grant and he led Council
through the Powerpoint presentation. He said the BUILD grant is three times the funding size that TIGER
was last year. Mr. Jackson said the deadline in the packet is incorrect and he said July 19, 2018, is the
deadline for the application. He said staff is looking for Council consensus to keep proceeding in the
direction they are going to apply for the BUILD grant, and he said they would come back to Council in a
few weeks to ask for authorization to apply for the grant. Councilmember Wick asked if staff has heard
from other jurisdictions as to what they are applying for and Mr. Jackson said the County is applying for
something and SRTC is looking to get a shortlist of the regional projects together, but he has only heard of
the one coming from the County. It was consensus of Council to develop the grant application and come
back in two to three weeks for a motion consideration.
6. Spokane Valley Youth Voices — Councilmember Thompson
Councilmember Thompson brought forward youth presenters from area high schools that she has been
meeting with since March and thanked Council for allowing them to speak about issues they would like
addressed in the community.
Adora Wallgren, Central Valley High School, said with regard to mental illness she would like access to
counselors and peer counselors, and she would like crisis numbers provided on the backs of student
identification cards.
Shelby Menga, Central Valley High School, said her topic of concern is safety: street safety including more
sidewalks, snow removal, bike lanes, speeding near schools; personal safety including knowledge of sex
offenders near schools and identifying suspicious cars; and school safety.
Joseph Zuniga, Central Valley High School, said he would like to see more regulation regarding illegal
substances in and around schools and he would like school counselors to do more to address substance
abuse and recommend options for help.
Deidre Calvo, Central Valley High School, said there could be more security, more supervisors,
enforcement on drugs and weapons brought in the schools and more awareness assemblies to discuss drug
abuse and mental illness.
Christine Dugger, East Valley High School, said she is talking about homelessness and youth employment,
and she would like to see more help for parents and students who are homeless and more awareness about
what homelessness is. She said she would like to see job advertisement in the schools and assistance for
students in the application and interview process.
Alexandra Burgess, East Valley High School, said there are many homeless students in her school and she
would like to see more help for them to get back on their feet. Mr. Zuniga added that the See Something
Say Something campaign at Central Valley covers all these topics and he thinks implementing the campaign
in all the schools would help with the morale of the students.
Councilmember Thompson said in this first quarter of meetings, thirty-seven youth have discussed these
topics and they are looking to see how they can connect with boards and organizations in the community.

She said the next meeting is Monday, June 11, and they will make a plan for small work groups to meet
over the summer months and reconvene in the fall. Councilmember Woodard asked if there are peer
counselors at Central Valley; and the response was there are not, but they would like to have them.
Councilmember Peetz thanked the group for coming and she encouraged them to continue their work.
Councilmember Wick asked for a list of the topics they are discussing and a prioritization of the items and
what they want to accomplish. Councilmember Thompson said they will do that and provide it to Council.
Councilmember Wood said he is impressed with the students, they are articulate, smart and to the point,
and he said he hopes they continue as great representatives of their schools.
Mayor Higgins called for break at 7:45 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 7:55 p.m.
7. Evaluation of Street and Stormwater Maintenance Programs — John Hohman & Harry Lorick, Consultant
Deputy City Manager Hohman introduced Mr. Harry Lorick of LA Consulting to discuss the evaluation of
the City's street and stormwater maintenance programs. Mr. Hohman explained that in the past, the City
contracted with Spokane County for snow removal services but in 2007 the County notified us that they no
longer wanted to provide those services. He said we purchased old snowplows from the state and we have
a few in-house employees and contracted drivers to drive the plows. He said we put out an RFQ to evaluate
our services and selected LA Consulting. Mr. Lorick said they are just starting the process and he is looking
to get comments from Council as to their concerns and areas to look at to improve services. As he went
through the Powerpoint presentation, he provided background information on his firm and described the
evaluation process moving forward. Councilmember Thompson asked if his firm has any findings from
evaluating other agencies that are consistent throughout and Mr. Lorick said not always, but he said they
find there are some commonalities among agencies, such as misusing technology. Councilmember Wick
asked if they will look at how we do things or what we are doing and Mr. Lorick responded that his team
will look at what the City is doing and then look at how to make improvements. Councilmember Wick
asked if he has worked with agencies that contract for services as much as Spokane Valley. Mr. Lorick
responded that he has and that many cities in southern California are contract cities but, he said, what
Spokane Valley does differently is that it uses contracts, County, State, and its own employees to provide
services and it uses them together. Councilmember Woodard said he would like to know if we are efficient
and best suited to do the snow removal for the City. Councilmember Peetz said comments she has received
from the public relate to supervision of crews and she said she would like to see the data that his company
provides. Councilmember Wick commented that it seems like we get more complaints when we plow the
snow than when we don't, and he would like to know if there is something we can do better. Councilmember
Woodard suggested they might look at our small contractors to make sure we are doing things efficiently
there. Councilmember Wood asked if they will look into sweeping, such as the priorities and how often
they go out to sweep. Mr. Hohman said they will work on compiling a baseline in the next several months
and come up with recommendations for Council.
8. Gothmann Property Donation — Cary Driskell, Mike Stone
City Attorney Driskell said he and Parks and Recreation Director Stone will discuss the potential property
donation by former Councilmember Gothmann of eleven acres located approximately three miles outside
the city limits. He said the property has an assessed value of $184,000 and Mr. Gothmann asks that if
Council accepts the property donation, the City name the land Myrna Park. Mr. Stone said it is a
tremendously generous offer and it is a wonderful natural conservation area, he said it has some physical
challenges but added that it is a unique property. He said the City is poor in park acreage and this would
add to our Parks Master Plan. While outside the city limits, he said he thinks our residents would use it and
years ahead in the future it could be in the center of Spokane Valley so he said he hopes the location does
not discourage Council from accepting the donation. Councilmember Peetz said there is a shortage of park
property and this would be great for the community. Councilmember Thompson asked about liability if
someone gets hurt in the park and Mr. Driskell explained that when landowners open land for recreational
purposes, there is recreational immunity so the landowner is not liable under Washington law. Deputy
Mayor Haley thanked the Gothmann family for considering donating the land to the City and thinks naming
the park Myrna Park is appropriate. Councilmember Woodard said he would like it to remain undeveloped
and named Myrna Park. Mr. Driskell said the City Manager has authority to accept the donation and hearing
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 05-22-2018 Page 5 of 6
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
no objection Mr. Calhoun can proceed in accepting the donation of the land. City Manager Calhoun said
with Council consensus to move forward, he will have the City Attorney work with Mr. Gothmann to
facilitate the transfer of the property. Councilmembers and staff applauded Mr. Gothmann in a show of
appreciation.
9. Code Text Amendment 2018-0002 : Hotel/Motel in Industrial Zone — Marty Palaniuk
Planner Palaniuk said the City received a privately initiated code text amendment in February and the
Planning Commission held a public hearing on April 26th and then voted last week to forward the
amendment to Council for approval. He said this is an amendment to the City's zoning regulations,
specifically Title 19, Permitted Use Matrix, and the supplemental use language for lodging. He said it will
add an "S" to the supplemental regulations in the industrial zone for hotel/motel uses, specifically to allow
hotel/motel use in the industrial area on lots that have frontage on a principal arterial. He said if the building
has a footprint greater than 25,000 square feet, it would require a conditional use permit. He said the
industrial zone is intended for manufacturing, processing, fabrication and freight handling and the areas
that would allow hotel/motel use if the amendment is approved would be Broadway, Sullivan, and Barker
Road in the future when it is classified as a principal arterial. He said the Airport Hazard Overlay limits
high intensity uses and covers a portion of Broadway Avenue so that would further restrict the hotel/motel
use in this area. There was Council Consensus to move forward with the amendment.
10. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
Deputy Mayor Haley said she would like a report showing options and costs for City -provided electrical
inspections in Spokane Valley. Mr. Calhoun said this came up in the agenda committee meeting based on
issues that a number of contractors have with the way L & I (Washington State Department of Labor and
Industries) conducts electrical inspections. He said the contractors are impressed with the permitting and
inspections done by Spokane Valley and would like the City to take over the electrical inspections as well.
He said staff will look at what it would take to try to do this, the number of inspections, the number of staff
needed to take this on, and the costs. He said it will take time to analyze but staff will look into it and report
back to Council.
11. INFORMATION ONLY: The department reports were for information only and were not reported
or discussed.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS: City Manager Calhoun said the State of the City address is
Wednesday, May 23rd at CenterPlace; the doors open at 7:45 a.m., the speech begins at 8:00 a.m. and
concludes at 9:00 a.m. and it is being conducted in partnership with the Spokane Valley Chamber. He said
the Budget Workshop will be on June 12 beginning at 8:30 a.m. and there will be no evening meeting that
night. Lastly, he said on June 26th Councilmembers are attending the AWC conference so the June 26th
Council meeting is also cancelled.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 8:50 p.m.

interested in evaluating the feasibility of a northerly fourth leg for the roundabout that would provide access
to the Highland Estates subdivision so that their connection can be evaluated using the City's consultant,
DEA; he said the agreement provides reimbursement to us for costs associated with this fourth leg. Mr.
Helbig also noted that the preliminary design will be done by us in parallel with work on the grade
separation project, and again noted this would be done at no cost to our City. Mayor Higgins invited public
comment. Mr. Bob West, Spokane Valley, asked for confirmation that this is not going to cost our city any

money, and Mayor Higgins confirmed Mr. West is correct. There were no further comments. Vote by

NON -ACTION ITEMS:
4. Spokane Airport Projects — Larry Krauter, CEO Spokane Airports
Via his PowerPoint, Mr. Larry Krauter, CEO of Spokane Airports, provided an overview of the Spokane
Airport projects; he mentioned Felts Field and the Spokane International Airport are actually in a straight
line to each other; he spoke of the various runways including the turf runway for the older airplanes; he
mentioned some of the improvements and planned projects to Felts Field, including their ramp project, field
taxiways and taxi -lanes project, turf runway project, field fuel facility relocation, and their master plan. Mr.
Krauter noted the planned historic district gateway study and showed some depictions of possible gateways.
At the conclusion of his presentation, Mr. Krauter invited Council, staff and the members of the audience
to the free, Felts Field Neighbor Day event which will be this Saturday from 9-4. Mr. Krauter also extended
compliments to City staff for their professionalism and helpfulness, and thanked Council for the opportunity
to present.
5. Arts in Public Spaces — Cary Driskell, Mike Stone
City Attorney Driskell explained that the Spokane Valley Arts Council (SVAC) was formed in 2004, is a
separate entity from the City, is a nonprofit organization, and that Spokane Valley and the Arts Council
have had a valued relationship. Mr. Driskell stated that the SVAC has conducted fundraisers to help fund
purchases of public art, and several of those art pieces are now publicly displayed in the City, particularly
around City Hall. Mr. Driskell noted that a new sculpture, "Heart of the Valley" is nearly complete but we
do not have specifics on exactly when the project will be completed, how large it will be, or a suitable
location for the piece; so one question for Council to consider is, where should this new piece be sited; he
noted that to keep in line with our recently adopted policy for acceptance of donations and gifts, this and
other aspects associated with art pieces should be discussed, and he noted that one of tonight's discussion
points deals with an agreement to memorialize the donations, where the art will be placed, and to make sure
we incorporate all aspects of these art pieces, including maintenance costs, etc., into a contract in order to
alleviate the possibility of miscommunications. Mr. Driskell asked Council if they are interested in
approaching the Arts Council to discuss an agreement of this type. City Attorney Driskell noted that staff
will come back at a future meeting to present the analysis to Council on costs to the City in accepting this
sculpture, whether the piece will require lighting, and to discuss possible locations. He also noted the City
has not budgeted for any of these costs because we did not have this information during last year's budget
process. Mr. Driskell and Mr. Stone also discussed the possibility of drafting and adopting a master plan
to guide Council in issues relating to public art. Mr. Driskell asked if there is Council consensus for staff
to proceed with the above-mentioned approach.
There was some discussion about the Arts Council and who sits on that Board; and it was mentioned that a
former Councilmember was (and likely still is) a member of that board. Mr. Stone added that there could
also be others who might be interested in art, such as collectors, artists, or others who work to advance art
in our community, and it would be beneficial to have a written agreement, as well as an arts master plan.
Councilmember Woodard noted that having a plan is a great start, not just to achieve goals but also in
applying for grants; and it would give the public opportunity for input; and said he agrees a written contract
is a good idea. There was Council consensus to proceed with an agreement with the Arts Council, and to
continue working on an arts master plan. City Manager Calhoun mentioned that such an agreement will
help the Council and the community preserve a long-standing relationship with the Arts Council and with
Dr. Harkin; he said the Arts Council is interested in continuing to use CenterPlace for their fundraising
event in exchange for periodic donations, adding that it is important for Council to have a say early in the
process of where such art would be placed, as well as having an opportunity to discuss whether to accept
each piece. Council concurred. Mayor Higgins mentioned the idea of having Council representation on
their Board, and Mr. Calhoun said we could possibly build that into the agreement.

6. Street O&M Fund #101 Level of Service and Financial Challenges — Chelsie Taylor, Erik Lamb, John
Hohman
Deputy City Manager Hohman explained that tonight's agenda item is in follow-up to numerous discussions
since 2004, concerning street preservation and maintenance and how to fund those activities; and that street
fund 101 has some challenges which will impact the 2019 budget preparation. Via his PowerPoint
presentation ,Mr. Hohman noted that Fund 101, Street O&M, gets its funding from gas and phone tax, and
the proceeds are used for street patching, crack sealing, snow plowing, and other street operation and
maintenance activities. He mentioned a past attempt in 2004 for Council to pass a utility tax ordinance, but
that it did not advance; he noted the 6% telephone utility tax ordinance was approved by Council in 2008
and went into effect in 2009, and that tax is applied to land lines and the voice portion of cell phones, but
that those tax collections have declined since implementation. Mr. Hohman noted that the immediate need
is determine whether to add additional 2019 revenues for Street O&M Fund 101; and if no additional
revenues are to be added, services will need to be cut to stay within current revenue constraints.
Finance Director Taylor gave further details about Street O&M Fund 101; she mentioned this fund generally
accounts for the operations and maintenance of our streets and as mentioned, includes street pavement
repairs, but also traffic signals, signs, landscaping and vegetation control; that the adopted 2018 budget has
recurring expenditures of about $4.587 million, but that identified needs at last year's budget workshop
were approximately $4.826 million, which led to a decision about reducing recurring expenditures due to
revenue constraints. Finance Director Taylor went over some of those expenditures, which included such
things as $1.5 million for pothole patching, repairs and other maintenance, and also included about one
million for pavement preservation. She noted other expenditures such as traffic operations and maintenance,
street lighting and sweeping, fleet maintenance, snow maintenance; as well as estimated revenue sources,
all as included on slides 7 and 8 of the PowerPoint. Director Taylor also showed some charts depicting the
motor vehicle fuel tax collections over the years as well as the percentages of decrease and increase, the
declining telephone utility tax revenues over the years as well as those percentages of decrease and increase,
and she noted that we anticipate the telephone utility tax to continue declining, but are uncertain when those
revenues will bottom out.
As noted on slide 14, Deputy City Manager Hohman explained some of the challenges in this street O&M
fund and of our attempts to provide recommendations to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness; and the
slide also showed projected revenues, expenditures and deficits for years 2020-2023, which culminated in
projected funding needs of between $1.3 and $1.8 million over those years. Deputy City Attorney Lamb
then explained about the revenue options, and that recurring revenues must be at least equal to recurring
expenditures to finance current service levels. The revenue options Mr. Lamb explained about included a
Transportation Benefit District, or TBD, property tax banked capacity, a levy lid lift, and a utility tax, all
as noted on the PowerPoint slides. In conclusion, Mr. Hohman said our street fund 101 needs a new revenue
source for 2019, or historic service levels would need to be reduced by $741,000 for 2019. Mr. Hohman
noted that this issue needs public input and discussion; that we can look at new revenue sources, or Council
could direct us to scale back some of those operations. Mr. Hohman also noted that back in February we
talked about fund 101 and pavement preservation 311, but he feels the immediate need is to focus on 101,
even though we are reviewing the needs of 311 and the amount of money needed to keep that preservation
at its current level; he said staff is looking for an additional consultant to double-check what we've done to
make sure that number is as accurate as it can be; he said there are several issues staff are working with
including working through the bottleneck of construction projects, and said staff realizes Council might
want to look at some residential streets and what kind of treatment would be best; adding that this will be a
continuing and ongoing discussion as more information is developed.
Council discussion included comment from Councilmember Peetz that she wants to keep our good roads,
but would not be in favor of a utility tax as citizens are already struggling financially; said she feels there
Council Study Session: 05-29-2018 Page 3 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
should be more public input on this, or even put it to a vote; adding that there is a lot of information
concerning a TBD, and perhaps we could have more discussion and detail on that option. Councilmember
Wood mentioned that there was no discussion on the PCI index or discussion about what level of roads we
would maintain, and Mr. Calhoun noted that the focus tonight is street fund 101; that fund 311 is pavement
preservation, and that those issues are for a different discussion later. Councilmember Haley stressed again
that the telephone utility tax is on land lines and only on the voice portion of a cell phone and does not
include data. Mr. Calhoun said that we are not trying to answer anything tonight, but merely trying to get
a bit ahead of the June 12 budget workshop where all this will be discussed more; that this is a big topic
requiring a big decision and that the 2019 budget is the budget where this comes home to roost and that we
must find more revenue or cut $740,000 of existing service levels, adding that we will need a decision by
late summer or early fall on how best to proceed. Councilmember Woodard said he has seen this coming
for years and we are now at that uncomfortable position and he hopes that Council will take this seriously
and not rule out anything, but have a good discussion June 12 to set staff on the direction of what needs to
be done.
7. Economic Analysis of Tourism Related Venues & Events — Chelsie Taylor
Finance Director Taylor explained that as shown in the spreadsheet, staff have prepared an analysis of the
economic impact of ten potential tourism enhancement projects. After Director Taylor went over the
information in the RCA and the spreadsheet, Mr. Woodard asked if this too will be discussed at the June
12 budget workshop. Mr. Calhoun replied that it will not as that June 12 agenda will be full enough as we
will go through the line -item funds, and the "bigger picture" types of projects for that afternoon; that for
tonight, he said we are not seeking a decision from Council on which projects to include and of how to
narrow down this list of ten projects; he said some of those items are in the northeast area that could generate
150+ family wage jobs, while some of the other projects would be minimum wage, part-time jobs which
are not really economic development projects; he said the reality is none of these projects will make money;
the CenterPlace project could "pencil out" and the Fairgrounds project could get started as the land is
reasonably close and there is no land acquisition needed, and the County would operate it rather than us;
adding that most of these projects pertain to bringing in tourists during the sunny, warmer months, while
the Fairgrounds is geared more toward other seasons.
Discussion ensued about the Browns Park improvements and the sand volleyball courts as well as the
masterplan; with Mr. Calhoun mentioning that lighting for Browns Park went out to bid and we received
two bids, each over $300,000, which is substantially greater than what we have budgeted; and said that will
be discussed at the workshop. Councilmember Wick asked about the extra lodging tax money and about
using that to purchase land somewhere, and perhaps to do that in phases instead of having a bond payment.
Mr. Calhoun said if you don't have a bond consideration, and are simply looking at operations, that is a
different discussion. Mr. Calhoun said that he and Ms. Taylor want to bring this topic back again so Council
can come up with ideas of what to do, and that it would be the City making requests of the LTAC (Lodging
Tax Advisory Committee) and then having that committee appropriate funds to us or not. Mr. Calhoun
noted that this topic will come again to Council in July so that perhaps Council can start narrowing down
the list to perhaps two or three projects. Council concurred, and Ms. Taylor said that time would also work
nicely with the agenda topic of Council goals for the LTAC.
8. Splashdown Contract - Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell gave a history of the Splashdown lease agreement, as noted in his May 29, 2018
Request for Council Action form; he added that the Bleasners are here tonight with their attorney Mr.
Montgomery; he stated that the Bleasners are interested in taking over the ownership of Splashdown and
are interested in executing a lease agreement. Mr. Driskell then went through the essential terms of the
agreement, and stated that if Council is interested in a longer term, to please let him know as the Bleasners
would also prefer a longer agreement as it helps with financing and stability. Mr. Driskell noted that the
Bleasners' desire is to open the weekend of June 8, and if Council agrees with the terms of this agreement,
Council Study Session: 05-29-2018 Page 4 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
it will be brought back at next week's Council meeting for a motion consideration. There was Council
consensus to go forward with a five-year lease and a five-year extension. Mr. Driskell said he will speak
with the owners before the next Council meeting, and if there are any differences, he will let Council know,
adding that it has been a very amicable discussion with the Bleasner's attorney Mr. Montgomery.
9. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda.
10. Police Department Monthly Report
This item was for information only and was not reported or discussed.
11. Council Check-in — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Woodard mentioned that someone approached him about our permitting process and our
planning department, and said that gentleman reported that he has never had a project go so smoothly as
what was done here, and that's he's telling people what a business -friendly city we are; and also extended
compliments to Micki Harnois and some of the engineers assisting with his project.
12. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
City Manager Calhoun reminded everyone that the budget workshop will be held in this room June 12,
from 8:30 a.m. to about 3:30 p.m., and that there will be no evening meeting that night; he also reminded
everyone that the June 26 Council meeting will be cancelled as the majority of Councilmembers attend the
AWC (Association of Washington Cities) conference in Yakima. Concerning the budget workshop, Mr.
Calhoun said we will be setting up a finance committee meeting sometime next week.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 8:08 p.m.

went through his PowerPoint presentation explaining about this grant opportunity, City Manager Calhoun
noted that perhaps Mr. Jackson could draft a list of agencies from whom we could seek letters of support,
and deliver those to Councilmembers who could advocate for this grant on our behalf. Mr. Jackson said he
would get that started after tonight's meeting. Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no comments were

6. Motion Consideration: Splashdown Contract — Cary Driskell
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded to authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute
the Lease Agreement with 'New Splash -Down Concessions, Inc., ' for use of a portion of Valley Mission
Park, and any related documents to accomplish the same. City Attorney Driskell mentioned the formerly
proposed ending lease period would put the termination right before the beginning of the season, and said
he therefore proposes a 67 month initial lease which would end at the end of December; and then have a
second optional five-year period beyond that. Council concurred. Mayor Higgins invited public comment.
Mr. John Montgomery, Spokane- said he is the attorney for the New Splash -Down, which has been an
evolving corporation; said the Bleasners were the original owners, and that the site was originally an old -
gravel pit and an old dump pit; and that they opened their facility in 1983, which at the time was the state-
of-the-art facility and very popular with young children and young families; said the Bleasners have poured
their hearts into this trying to make it a successful enterprise for the community. There were no other
comments. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins explained the process, and then invited public comments.
Mr. Keith Harger, Spokane Valley: regarding the City's street sweepers, said they don't do Mission at all
and he was wondering why; said he runs and bikes on that street and they don't ever sweep it; said he has
seen the sweepers up and down Pierce three times, but they continue to refuse to do Mission, and he would
like it swept. Mr. Calhoun said staff will follow-up with AAA Sweeping to get a sense of where Mission
is on their schedule of streets to sweep. Ms. Nina Fluegal, Spokane Valley: mentioned the idea of security
for our building, and via the Clerk, distributed copies to Councilmembers of her handout of "Smarter, Safer,
More Sustainable Buildings and Cities" from Johnson Controls, with James (Jim) Fluegal listed as District
Sales Manager. She also mentioned the condition of the Appleway Trail and the amount of weeds; said we
need to maintain the existing sections, that the weeds are numerous and high; said people are also writing
on benches and there is trash everywhere, and that it is a waste and a shame. There were no further public
comments. City Attorney Driskell said we are aware of the Trail situation and there was an initial difficulty
in getting the needed work taken care of, but this should be resolved fairly soon.

8. Sullivan and Wellesley Intersection Improvement Project — Erica Amsden, Gloria Mantz
Engineering Manager Mantz introduced Project Manager Amsden, and Welch -Comer Senior Project
Manager Mr. Matthew Gillis who is working on the design of this project. Ms. Mantz explained some of
the existing conditions of the project, as well as some points of Spokane County's future project; and the
project background and budget. Ms. Amsden explained about the design options of a traffic signal or a two-
lane roundabout, after which as noted in the PowerPoint slides, said that staff recommends the traffic signal.
Ms. Mantz said concerns were raised by members of the public, mostly about traffic near the schools and
inexperienced drivers trying to navigate a roundabout; Ms. Mantz noted in this area, there will likely always
be a lot of inexperienced drivers. It was noted the speed limit area will be a school zone. Ms. Amsden
explained that outside this specific project, it is a County project, and we would just be working to improve
the intersection. There was Council discussion concerning the amount of traffic and the proximity to the
schools, with some members of Council expressing their preference for a traffic signal. There was
consensus from Council to move this forward to the July 3 Council meeting for Council to determine their
preferred design alternative.
9. Code Enforcement Update — Rachelle McFetridge, Nicole Montano, Greg Baldwin
After Attorney McFetridge introduced Code Enforcement Officer Montano and Development Services
Coordinator Baldwin, Ms. McFetridge started the PowerPoint presentation by explaining some of the duties
of each of the three staff members, as well as some of the current and past code enforcement cases; she
stressed the goal is voluntary compliance and staff works with the property owner with that goal in mind.
City Attorney Driskell said this team works very well together and as they work on these issues, Ms.
McFetridge and Ms. Montano work to refine the process; he said they inherited a large number of cases,
some of which were very old; that they are still working on the backlog of cases but making good progress.
Mayor Higgins mentioned shipping containers on the property around 9th on the NE corner near Evergreen;
and Ms. Montano said she will investigate that concern.
10. Hearing Examiner Services — Cary Driskell
After City Attorney Driskell explained the current issue with the services of the hearing examiner, as noted
in his June 5, 2018 Request for Council Action, he ended his explanation with his suggestion to terminate
the contract with the County by giving six months' notice, after which staff will issue an RFP (Request for
Proposals) and gather options for service elsewhere. There was Council consensus to bring this back in
two weeks for such a motion consideration.
11. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda.
12. Council Check-in — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Woodard mentioned that SRTC (Spokane Regional Transportation Council) and the
Chamber of Commerce will be sponsoring a Roundabout Conversation event scheduled for tomorrow from
6-8 pm at CenterPlace. Mayor Higgins and Mr. Calhoun referenced the Library's Business in the Park
event, Saturday, June 16, from 10 am to 6 pm, which will be held on the Library's property across from
City Hall.
13. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
Concerning tomorrow's SRTC sponsored event concerning roundabouts, Mr. Calhoun said the event will
be held from 6-8 pm, with a Q&A opportunity at the end; on the same topic tomorrow from 9-12 there will
be a workshop for engineers and planners, and from 5-6 there will be a reception for elected officials with
an opportunity for elected officials to meet the panel members. Mr. Calhoun again reminded everyone of
the cancelled Council evening meetings on June 12 and 26th, and of the special budget workshop meeting
June 12, beginning at 8:30 a.m. here in Council chambers.

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
CTA -2018-0002 —Proposed Amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC)
Pursuant to SVMC 17,80.150 (E) the Planning Commission shall consider the proposal and shall prepare
and forward a recommendation to the City Council following the public hearing. The following findings
are consistent with the Planning Commission recommendation that City Council adopt the amendment.
Background:
1. Pursuant to RCW 36.70A.130, Spokane Valley adopted its 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update and
updated development regulations on December 13, 2016, with December 28, 2016 as the effective date.
2. CTA -2018-0002 is a privately initiated code text amendment to SVMC 19.60.050 and SVMC
19.65.080 to allow a hotel/motel in the Industrial zone on sites with frontage on a principal arterial
subject to a conditional use permit (CUP) only if the building footprint exceeds 25,000 square feet.
Staff provided alternative proposed amendment language that is more congruent with the language and
organization of the SVMC, but that is substantively the same.
3. The Planning Commission held a properly noticed public hearing and conducted deliberations on April
26, 2018. The Commissioners voted 5-2 to recommend that the City Council adopt the amendment
using the alternative language proposed by staff.
Planning Commission Findings:
1. Recommended Modifications
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the proposed amendments as revised by staff
and attached in Exhibit 1.
2. Compliance with SVMC 17.80.150(F) Approval Criteria
a. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the
Comprehensive Plan:
Findings:
Goal ED -G1: Support economic opportunities and employment growth for Spokane Valley.
Goal ED -G4: Collaborate with relevant economic development stakeholders, including the
business community, to grow a strong and healthy regional economy;
Goal ED -G5: Support and encourage the development of a strong workforce that is globally
competitive and responds to the changing needs of the workplace.
Goal ED -G6: Maintain a positive business climate that strives for flexibility, predictability
and stability.
Goal LU -G3: Support the transformation of commercial, industrial, and mixed —use areas into
accessible districts that attract economic activity;
Goal LU -G4: Ensure that land use plans, regulations, review processes, and infrastructure
improvements support economic growth and vitality.
Goal LU -P12: Maintain a robust supply of productive industrial land.
Findings and Recommendations of the Spokane Valley Planning Commission CTA -2018-0002 Page 1 of 2
b. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety, welfare and
protection of the environment.
Findings:
The amendment bears substantial relation to public health, safety, welfare and protection os
the environment. The hotel/motel use in close proximity to the job locations in the industrial
area adds a level of convenience that is currently not available to the people who travel to the
area and spend the preponderance of their time working in the industrial area. Additionally
the hotel/motel use provides a positive economic impact to businesses in the area and to the
citizens of Spokane Valley.
3. Conclusion:
The proposed text amendment is consistent with Comprehensive Plan and bears a substantial
relation to public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment.
4. Recommendation:
The Spokane Valley Planning Commission therefore recommends the City Council approve CTA -2018-
0002 as modified.

VII. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
Study Session: CTA -2018-0002, A privately initiated code text intendment to the Spolcane-
Valley Munieipal Code to allow lodging in the Industrial zone.
Planner Marty Palaniuk presented to the Commission an overview of the privately initiated
amendment requesting to add lodging as a supplemental use to the Industrial zone. Mr. Palaniuk
explainred lodging is a permitted use in the Mixed Use, Corridor Mixed Use, Regional Commercial,.
and industrial Mixed lJse zones. The proposal requests to add a 'WC' in for permitted or
conditional use permit in the supplemental language for the Industrial zone in the Permitted Use
Matrix. The supplemental language would state that the ltotellmotel would need to have frontage
on a principal arterial and if the building footprint were greater than 25,000 square feet, a
Conditional Use Permit (CUP) would be required. He mentioned that staff had reviewed the
language proposed and if the Commission recommends approval of the proposal, revised language
would bo recommended that was consistent with the language and format of the SVMC. The staff
revision suggested an "S" in the Permitted Use Matrix, which references the Supplemental Use
Regulations; it is further suggested that the supplemental language be placed under the Lodging
heading, rather than the industrial heading. All staff suggested revisions are non -substantive to the
proposed language.
Mr. Puluniuk said there are only three areas in the City this proposal would apply to, in the east
along Broadway Avenue in the Yardley urea, north attic. river along Sullivan and north of the river
along Barker. Barker is not currently classified as a principal arterial, but there are plans to
reclassify it in the future. Much of the urea along Broadway would be restricted because it fulls
2018.0442 Planning Commission Minutes rage 2 01'3
under an airport hazard overlay and high intensity uses, such as a hotel are not permitted in an
airport hazard zone.
in looking at other jurisdictions, Pasco and Richland allow hotels in their heavy industrial zones.
Spokane allows it with a CUP, Spokane County only in light industrial, KennewIek clots not allow
hotels in an industrial zone, hut m a Business Park zone, and Federal Way allows the use in u
Commercial Enterprise zone. Yakima and Liberty Lake do not allow then in any industrial zone.
A Conditional Use Permit is heard by the Hearing Examiner. I le reviews them case by case and
can impose conditions basal on the impacts to the su►i•ounding development. Commissioner
Johnson asked how the 25,000 square foot number was chosen. Mr. Palaniuk replied this was the
number the applicant proposed. Most ofthe smaller hotels in the urea are under this footprint based
on research Mr. Palanink had done, except for the Mirabelli' Hotel. Commissioner Walton asked
if there was a specific project proposed. Ms. Barlow stated no project has been submitted since It
Currently is not an allowed use. Commissioner Rasmussen confirmed that Barker Road is currently
not a principal arterial now, but that there are plans to reclassify it in the future.
ii. Study Session: FEMA Floodplain review processes
Engineer Henry Allen presented to the Commissioners the process for how to modify a FEMA
floodplain. The City has six Special Flood Hazard Areas (S1111A) or 100-year floodplains. These
are areas having a I% annual chance in any given year to flood. Currently four of them are under
review, Porker Draw, Saltese/Shelley Lake, Central Park and Glcnrose. Development can occur In
a floodplain and changes to the floodplain boundaries can change based on development,
topography changes, mapping errors and proposed changes to the boundaries.
Mr. Allen explained several scenarios where the floodplain can be changed. All changes need to
be based on current conditions and supported by scientific data. A homeowner could prepare
materials and submit to FEMA to have their structure removed from the floodplain because the
home is above the Base Flood Elevation (BFE). The documentation is prepared and sent to FEMA
for review. Then FEMA determines Wit meets the criteria and sends back a determination. These
do not change the map and takes two to three months. These are Letter of Map Amendments
(I.OMA or LOMA-F if fill has been used).
If a development wants to build in the floodplain, they prepare the necessary documents, explain
what they are going to build, how they will mitigalc the floodplain, prepare engineering analysis
and send it to FEMA for review and comment. They receive a Conditional Letter of Map
Amendment (CLOMR). Anter the development is built, they send the as-hu iIts are sent to FEMA.
I1' the as-builts are the same as the proposed information, then FEMA sends back a Letter of Map
Amendment and the map is changed. This can take several months or years, depending on the
scale. The Porker Draw Alluvial Can started scoping in 2010 and the property owner received the
CLOMR March 15, 2018.
Developments can change the map by bringing in till to mitigate the floodwaters, this is referred to
by a Letter of Map Amendment based on Fill or a CLOMR-F, if the `-F' is on the and, it is based
on additional till being brought into the site as a mitigation measure.
When the map has topograplticaal and scientific data discrepancies, data is collected, engineering
studies are conducted, and reviewed. Iitforinatioa is then sent to FEMA for review and comment.
Then the Map is updated. This can take several years. Salton Crcelc/Plats to Shelley Lake began
in 2010 and sent to FEMA for review and eminent on March 8, 2018.

VI. PUBLIC COMMENT: There was no public comment.
VII. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
i. Public Hearing: CTA -2018-0002, A privately initiated code text amendment to the Spokane
Valley Municipal Code 19.60 and 19.65 to allow lodging in the Industrial zone.
Chair Rasmussen opened the public hearing for CTA -2018-0002 at 6:03 p.m. Planner Marty
Palaniuk presented to the Commission an overview of the privately initiated code text amendment
requesting to add hotel/motel as a supplemental use to the Industrial zone. Mr. Palaniuk explained
hotel/motel is a permitted use in the Mixed Use, Corridor Mixed Use, Regional Commercial, and
Industrial Mixed Use zones. The Industrial zone allows for all types of manufacturing and
industrial type uses. The amendment proposes to allow hotels/motels along principal arterials on
a parcel which has frontage along a principal arterial. Mr. Palaniuk said there are three areas in the
City this proposal would apply to, Broadway Avenue west of the Interstate, north of Interstate 90
along Sullivan and north of the river along Barker. Barker is not currently classified as a principal
arterial, but there are plans to reclassify it in the future. These are the areas along a principal arterial
which are zoned ]ndustrial. Much of the area along Broadway would be restricted because it falls
under an airport hazard overlay zone (AHO) and high intensity uses like a hotel are those which
draw and concentrate people into a certain areas and are not permitted in a AHO zone. There is a
small area along Broadway which is outside of the AHO zone which would be available for this
proposal. Commissioner Phillips confirmed the AHO was because of the proximity to Felts Field,
but wanted to know why it didn't apply to the Spokane International Airport (SIA). Commissioner
I(elley offered the hotels at SIA are not in the crash zone, and are allowed to build where they based
on their location to those zones.
The applicant's proposal requests to add a `PIC' in for permitted or conditional use permit in the
supplemental language for the Industrial zone in the Permitted Use Matrix. Staff is recommending
that an 'S' be placed in the Permitted Use Matrix which would referenee the supplemental use
2018-04-26 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 5
regulations. Staff also made some suggests instead of placing the use in the Heavy Industrial
section of the Use Matrix placing it in under the Lodging heading, along with some minor language
changes to make sure it was in line with the way the rest of our code is written. Staff discussed
requiring a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) and most of the conditions covered by a CUP would be
handled by existing regulations from the Building Code, environmental regulations, SEPA, etc.
Ms. Barlow stated although staff has made some minor changes to the language of the proposal in
order to snake the proposal more consistent with City code but staff did not made a
recommendation on the proposal itself. If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the
amendment staff would propose accepting the minor revisions as well.
The Chair opened the hearing for public testimony
Steve Sclunautz, Spokane WA: Mr. Sehmautz stated he was the applicant for CTA-2018-0002
and principal on the project for the former ITRON site located on Sullivan Road. He stated they
are working to develop the 12-acre site into a higher level use with 150,000 square feet of office
space, 110,000 square feet of high cube warehouse space, The plan is to. develop an extended-stay
business type hotel similar to others in the area. He said has had studies done and there is a demand
for this use. He said the product he would be offering would have a different price point, something
complimenting the area which is growing northward. What they are considering putting on their
site would be less than the footprint in their amendment, catering to sales/business people who
service the area, convenient, affordable, more suites, and larger spaces.
Commissioner Stathos inquired regarding the campus layout, and Mr. Schmautz stated it would
have a bit of everything, office, commercial, warehouse and convenience in the same place on an
arterial, Ms. Barlow reminded the Commissioners this was not a project specific, and would affect
more than this proposal. Commissioner Walton commented one arguments in the application for
the proposal was to reduce trip generation. He wondered how it would do this when many of the
other services which hotel patrons need are outside of the industrial areas. Mr. Sehmautz said he
has been doing this for a while and the trips would mostly concentrate where the work was near the
offices and warehousing facilities.
Dwight Hurne, Mead, WA: Mr, Hume said he represents the applicant for CTA-2018-0002. Mr.
Hurne stated he remembers when the hotel currently the Industrial Park was built. He commented
the need for it was created by the tenants of the park. He believed the Industrial Park had to have
a change to the code at that time to allow the hotel, because the Industrial Park needed the facility,
and it wasn't allowed until the code was corrected. Corporate visitors could be coming to visit or
do training for businesses right in the general area and are less populated on the weekends. He said
the hotel would be a convenience to the surrounding businesses which would use it services but the
clients would use other services in the area such as restaurants and shopping. He commented that
the proposal was requested to be on an arterial so it would handle trip generations and ingress/egress
issues.
Commissioner Kelley asked Mr. Hume to share his background with the Commission. Mr. Hume
is currently a private land use consultant, but spent many years working for Spokane County as
their planning director and as a zoning adjustor, which is like a hearing examiner now.
Commissioner Johnson asked Mr. Hurne how he felt about changing the proposal to require the
project to have frontage on a principal arterial instead of the parcel being on a principal arterial.
Commissioner Johnson said he was concerned about a structure being located deep inside a parcel
where 1'1 responders would have trouble finding it. Mr. Hume responded the street system would
feed to the arterial, but that would be specific to this site. Each site would be different and need its
own ingress and egress onto the arterial. He felt there are enough performance standards and
development reviews to be able to discover a problem before the doors are opened. Mr. Hume also
said other jurisdictions have a CUP process when siting a hotel in an industrial area. Many times
the criteria for a CUP has already been met, so he does not know why people should have to go
through the process. Ms. Barlow commented the way the language is written a CUP would only
be necessary of the proposal was for a building footprint greater than 25,000 square feet. If they
did not want to go through the CUP process, it would require the project to be designed to go
vertical and protect the valuable industrial space. Mr. Hume stated he wasn't against them, he just
2018-04-26 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 5
feels the criteria is covered in other ways. Commissioner Walton asked why the applicant did not
rezone the property to Corridor Mixed Use with all of the allowed uses which would be allowed in
the CMU zone. Mr. Hume replied the applicant is not trying to bring the CMU uses into the
industrial area, they simply want to bring a hotel use into the industrial zone. There is a demand
for it and they felt this would be an appropriate request. Ms. Barlow the intent of the Industrial
zone is to provide for industrial uses and allow for some accessory uses, so environment is created
where it thrives. The intent of the CMU zone is to allow for uses which are much less intensive.
If it was rezoned, it would be stripped of one of the amenities the property offers. It could also be
argued the property was spot zoned and surrounding properties have not been given the same rights
to the uses allowed in the CMU zone. The proposal brings forward the hotel as an accessory to the
Industrial zone instead of stripping those uses and adding uses which might not bo compatible with
the surrounding area.
Chair Rasmussen seeing no one else who wished to testify closed the public hearing at 6;50 p.m.
Commissioner Walton asked Commissioner Johnson about his expressed concern regarding not
having a hotel which fronted on a principal arterial. Commissioner Johnson said it might be better,
as Mr. Hume had stated, to have the access on a side road. The customers might be going out once
or twice a day to somewhere up and down the arterial, but he feels the language should change in
order to keep the project out on the arterial so first responders are not having to drive around in the
Industrial Park. Commissioner Walton stated he was a bit concerned that this could amount to
telling someone how to develop their property. Commissioner Phillips stated he felt having a
having hotel in the industrial area was a good idea. He commented developers will build a hotel
where it would be most advantageous to them and would not put it off the arterial unless they were
catering to a select few clients. He is content with the language the way it is.
Commissioner Kelley commented generating more trips are what we want because it means that
people are corning to the City and spending money. There would revenue from the rooms, food
and beverage, payroll, federal, state and local taxes, sales taxes, payroll taxes, lodging taxes, jobs
would be created from the construction, from the new business, more suppliers in the area would
spend more money and the employees themselves there by increasing economic development.
Commissioner Kelley said he was concerned about making the hotel right on the arterial because
it could be a security concern if it was too easy to get to from the street.
Commissioner Rasmussen said previously she traveled for work and she appreciated having the
hotel next door to where she was going to work in the morning so she did not have to deal with the
traffic. She said she felt this amendment would fit the needs of the of the specific business people
who visit the area and she supported the amendment. She would leave it to the developers to
determine where to put the structure based on their needs. Commissioner Stathos stated the area is
adding conveniences for the businesses in the area. She would like to protect the industrial areas
for those industrial uses but this is a need which would be beneficial to many businesses in this
zone. Commissioner Kasehmitter stated she would support the amendment because she felt it
would be good for business and the visitors to have the option. Commissioner Johnson also feels
the change would be good for the City. He felt it would be a good addition to the industrial zone,
he wanted to make sure there was sufficient protection of the industrial land. He said he was not
in favor of a CUP. He wanted to protect staff from having to make any interpretations of the code.
He wants the language to be specific so there is no misunderstanding. Commissioner Walton said
he agreed and specific language allows for less interpretation and would be important to him. He
is concerned that allowing an expansion of ause to this zone when there are hotels in the
surrounding area which are not at capacity. He wanted to make sure that the industrial land is
protected.
Commissioner Walton stated his concern with the CUP process and how the hotels could be
allowed with little control except for the amount of square footage. Commissioner Rasmussen and
Kelley talked about their experiences in being in a hotel in more industrial areas and how they
found them beneficial and how the users of the hotels would benefit the area. Commissioner Kelley
is in favor of allowing the hotels, but is not necessarily in favor of a larger hotel, 25,000 square
2018-04-26 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 5
feet, in the area. Commissioner Phillips said he was fine with a CUP for a hotel over 25,000 square
feet footprint.
Ms. Barlow wanted to remind the Commission when they made a recommendation, staff had made
some suggested language to the amendment to make it more consistent with the way the Municipal
Code is written. Commissioner Walton said his preference would be to eliminate a hotel greater
than 25,000 would not be allowed in the industrial zone, so that it would preserve the most amount
of land for those purposes. If someone wanted a larger hotel, then they would need to go vertical
instead of horizontal in order to increase the amount of rooms they could offer. This would
eliminate the CUP process.
Commissioner Walton moved to recommend approval of CTA -2018-0002 to the City Council with
the proposed changes from staff, but modifying the language in SVMC 19.65.080(B)(1) to read `A
hotel/motel is allowed in the "1" zoning district on sites with frontage on a principal arterial
provided hotel/motel use has a building footprint of 25,000 square feet or less.' Motion died for
lack of a second.
Commissioner Kelly moved to recommend approval of CTA -2018-0002 to the City Council as
revised by staff. This motion was seconded. The vole on the motion by show of hands was five in
favor., two against with Commissioners Johnson and Walton dissenting.
il. Study Session: Open Space Requirements in Mixed Use Zones.
Ms, Barlow gave a quick presentation to remind the Commission the subject for discussion of the
open space requirements in the mixed use zones. She also discussed that projects in mixed use
zones which had been developed and stated all had provided some kind of open space. She also
reviewed the requirements of other jurisdictions and most have some form open space
requirements, She also shared several examples of mixed use development. The code currently
requires any development, multifamily or mixed use, in a mixed use zone would require open space
to be provided at a rate of 210 square feet per unit for any development which has more than 10
un its.
Options which could be considered are:
• Separate vertical and horizontal developments
• Separate Multifamily and mixed use
• Separate Mixed Use zone from Corridor Mixed Use
• Increase the distance from a public park or trail
• Increase the unit threshold
• Increase the amount of open space required per unit
• Increase the amount of units required before the open space is required
• Leave the requirements as they are currently written
• Eliminate the requirements completely
Commissioner Phillips confirmed the latest update to the development regulations there are no
setback requirements in the mixed use zones. Commissioner Johnson confirmed Spokane does not
have any open space requirements in a mixed use zone. Spokane County does not have a
requirement but offers incentives if they are added to a mixed use development.
Commissioner Johnson pointed out that about 90% of the areas being discussed would be except,
but the rest of the areas he would not want to have some kind of open space requirements. Most of
the areas are close to transit, places we want there to be vertical growth, and people who live in
these places have a different lifestyle. He said he didn't think there should be a requirement in those
cases. Commissioner Philips' concern has been someone trying to build a multifamily project in
the MU or CMU zone so they could get out of the open space requirement. After listening to some
of the conversations, he thinks maybe this requirement would not be necessary in these zones and
would make us more equal with the County and Spokane. Commissioner Walton feels that a
dedicated multifamily development in these zones should have different requirements than a mixed
use development. There was considerable discussion about why the City does not have mixed use
development. Ms. Barlow shared a consultant for the City, at the time of the Comprehensive Plan
2018-04-26 Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 5
Update, said there is not enough density in the City to drive it tight now. Discussion of how much
commercial there should be required in order to consider the project as mixed use. Commissioner
Rasmussen said she did not want to stand in the way of any mixed-use project which would want
to build here, Commissioner Kelley said he supports no open space for a vertical environment, but
for multifamily, open space should be required,
At the end of the discussion the consensus was to have staff separate the mixed use development
from the multifamily, to define what would be a mixed-use development, look at whether or not
the 1,300 foot requirement from a park or trail would still need to be included and remove the
Language regarding the "fee in lieu' altogether.
VIII. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Walton discussed when a motion is actually made,
especially when the subject has had a bit of discussion back and forth and everyone might not be in
agreement with the solution, there should be some extra discussion on the merits of the motion itself
before taking a vote.
IX. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Johnson moved to adjourn the meeting at 8:36 p.m. The vote on
the motion was trrnaninions in favor, the notion passed.

VII. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
i. Planning Commission Findings of Fact for CTA -2018-0002, a privately initiated code text
amendment to the Spokane Valley Municipal Code 19.60 and 19.65 to allow lodging in the
Industrial zone.
Planner Marty Palaniuk presented the Planning Commission's Findings of Fact for CTA -2018-
0002, a privately initiated code text amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) to
allow hotels/motels in the Industrial zone. Mr. Palaniuk explained the Findings reflect the Planning
Commission's recommendation to the City Council: to allow hotels/motels with a building
footprint of 25,000 square feet or less in the Industrial zone, a building footprint of more than
25,000 square feet, would need a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). Also adopted were minor
language changes recommended by staff, to bring the original amendment language in line with
the way the rest of the SVMC code is written. Commissioner Johnson clarified the 25,000 square
foot footprint only referred to the building size on the ground and did not dictate the overall size
the building could be.
Commissioner Kelley !moved to accept the Findings for CTA -2018-0002 as presented
Commissioner Walton stated he was still strongly opposed to the language allowing a structure
with a building footprint larger than 25,000 square feet. He said the applicant was not seeking
anything larger and it would be a mistake to allow larger structures to take up more Industrial zoned
land. Commissioner Kelley confirmed Mr. Walton is comfortable with a structure which has a
25,000 square feet or smaller footprint. Commissioner Walton noted he had moved to adopt
language which excluded a larger structure but that motion had died for Iack of a second.
Commissioner Kelley renewed his support of the hotels/motels for what they can bring into the
City by means of tax base, employment, other services, retail sales, business sales. Commissioner
Johnson agreed the amendment was a good idea but feels the CUP process was extra regulation
which was unnecessary, and felt this part of the arnendment needed further discussion and should
2018-05-10 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 5
have been removed from the proposal. He also felt that the location of the project should be closer
to the arterial, and that not adding language to the amendment to require it lacked proper prudence.
The motion passed, by a show of hands, with jbur in favor and three against, with Commissioners
Johnson, Stathos and Walton dissenting.
ii. Deliberations: 2018 Comprehensive Plan Amendments
CPA -2018-0001
Planner Micki Harnois reminded the Commission that CPA -2018-0001 is located approximately
300 east of Pines on Valleyway. The request is to change the Comprehensive Plan designation
from Single Family Residential (SFR) to Multifamily Residential (MFR) and from R-3 to
Multifamily zoning. The property is bordered to the north and south by MFR and to the west by
Corridor Mixed Use (CMU).
Commissioner Johnson said he sympathized with people who did not want to have development
intrude into their neighborhood but this was only a few hundred feet from the corridor and nothing
stays the same forever. Commissioner Walton stated he felt it would match the rest of the
surrounding areas.
Commissioner Johnson moved to recommend approval of CTA -2018-0001. Commissioner Stathos
asked where the line is drawn in order to stop development from encroaching into the
neighborhoods. Commissioner Walton said he sympathized with Commissioner Stathos' comment
and felt the Planning Commission exists to determine where change was appropriate, and he felt
this change was appropriate in this area.
The motion passed with a vote of six in favor, one against with Commissioner Stathos dissenting.
CPA -2018-0003
Mr. Palaniuk reminded the Commission that CPA -2018-0003 was located on Bowdish Road just
north of the intersection with Sands Road. The request is to change the designation from SFR to
CMU and the zoning from R-2 to CMU. Mr. Palaniuk said this parcel is located in a floodplain,
has alluvium soils, has a fish -bearing stream running through it and is south of the railroad tracks.
The contiguous parcels which meet the criteria to make the request for the change are across the
railroad right-of-way to the north, which is designated CMU.
Commissioner Kelley discussed many of the objections which had been raised during the public
hearing, schools would be over crowded, the traffic would increase, property values would
decrease, there was not enough notice given and crime would increase. He noted that these issues
are often brought up when a multifamily project is proposed. He commented that rarely do any of
these things actually happen. He noted Ms. Barlow said there was plenty of notice given.
Commissioner Walton said the request was to change from SFR to CMU has more uses than just
multifamily which need to be considered when before allowing the change. Commissioner Johnson
said when he visited the site in February and the homes in the front of the site are an extension of
the surrounding neighborhood. He felt the transition between those homes and Dishman-Mica
needed to be preserved, and this is not the right change for this area. Commissioner Phillips said
he does not feel the CMU should reach across the railroad tracks to the south into the residential
neighborhoods. Commissioner Stathos said she was concerned about the floodplain on the property
and comments the citizens had made. Commissioner Kaschmitter said she had concerns regarding
the floodplain, fire evacuations, soil contamination and the outpouring of people who were against
the change. Commissioner Walton said he noted all of the citizen comments, but in the staff report
it noted that the request was not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The allowable uses for
the CMU designation were not appropriate for the area and the requested change was not consistent
with the Comprehensive Plan, Commissioner Rasmussen said she was concerned about neighbors
who live next to the request stating they have had water in their backyards and not allowing the
CMU to encroach past the logical division of the railroad tracks.
Commissioner Johnson proved to recommend denial of CPA -2018-0003 to the City Council. The
motion passed with a vote of six in favor and one against with Connmissioner Kelley dissenting.
2018-05-10 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 5
CPA -2018-0004
Mr. Palaniuk said CPA -2018-0004 was located at the corner of 7s' Avenue and University Road.
The request is to change the designation from SFR to Neighborhood Commercial (NC) and the
zoning from R-3 to NC. The applicant owns an adjacent parcel which was designated NC during
the 2016 Comprehensive Plan Update.
During the public hearing, several citizens had commented that language on the subdivision plat
could prohibit commercial development on any property located within the subdivision without a
vote of the subdivision members. The Commissioners asked City Attorney Cary Driskell to opine
on how this covenant would affect the property change. Mr. Driskell stated that covenants are a
civil matter between parties and does not affect any decision that the Commission would make.
The City has the legal right to rezone the property. The covenants could affect development in the
future; however, a single-family residence is still an allowed use on the property.
Commissioner Johnson said he understood the comments regarding increased in traffic in the
neighborhood as was suggested by many who testified, but there was also a need for more NC in
many areas. He also conformed a Coundllmember had requested that staff add more areas of NC
in the City during the Comprehensive Plan update. Commissioner Walton said he understood the
objections but since both parcels were owned by the same person, he felt it placed the property
owner at a disadvantage when the parcels were zoned differently. Commissioner Kelley said the
Commission had discussions during the Comprehensive Pian Update about having more services.
in the neighborhoods. The two parcels are right on University Road and fit all the criteria discussed
for the NC during the Update. Commissioner Kasehinitter agreed.
Commissioner Johnson moved to recommend approval of CPA -2018-0004 to the City Council. The
motion passed with a vote of Sven in favor, and zero against.
CPA -2018-0005
Commissioner Phillips recused himselffrom this amendment and left the room.
Planner Karen Kendall reminded the Commission this amendment was correcting a mapping error
where several parcels were split zoned during the Comprehensive Plan Update. The parcels are
located at the apex of Progress and Forker Roads. The City is proposing to correct the zoning by
having the NC zone along the north and east portion above the Bonneville Power Easement and
south and west of the easement changed to SFR. The Commissioners had no concerns regarding
this amendment.
Commissioner Johnson moved to recommend approval of CTA -2018-0005 to the City Council The
motion passed with a vote of six in favor and zero against.
CPA -2018-0006
Commissioner Phillips returned to the room.
Ms. Kendall explained the parcel for this amendment is located on Trent Road just east of Sullivan,
and the easterly 15 feet of the parcel is designated as SFR and the remainder of the parcel is
designated Industrial Mixed Use (IMU). The proposal is to designate the entire parcel as 1MU.
The Commissioners had no concerns regarding this correction.
Connnissiorzer Johnson moved to recommend approval of CTA -2018-0006 to the City Council. The
motion passed with a vote of seven in favor and zero against.
iii. Discussion to Rescind CTA -2018-0002
Commissioner Walton moved to rescind the motion regarding CTA -2018-0002 due to a procedural
error.
Commissioner Walton stated he felt the topic needed more discussion, especially since the vote to
approve the findings was four to three. He also felt there had been an error in parliamentary
procedure during the April 26, 2018 meeting while recommending approval of the amendment, a
privately initiated code text amendment to allow hotels/motels in the Industrial zone. The vote on
the motion to recommend approval of the amendment as submitted with minor changes passed with
2018-05-10 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 5
a vote of five in favor, two against. Although the Commissioners had discussed the merits of the
amendment under small board miles, when the adopted motion was put to the floor, there was no
discussion on the merits of the main motion itself before the Commission voted on it, which
Commissioner Walton felt was in error. There was discussion as to whether the motion to rescind
was the proper main motion and the Commission took a break for staff to research the topic.
After review of Roberts Rules of Order, it was determined the motion to rescind was in order,
however it would have been more timely had it been made prior to the Findings of Fact supporting
the Planning Commission's decision on CTA -2018-0002. If the motion to rescind passes, then
there will need to be extra work to reconsider the Findings since they currently support CTA -2018-
0002 as it passed.
Commissioner Walton stated he felt the Commission moved too quickly to take the vote on the
adopted motion and Commissioners should have been given an opportunity to discuss the merits
of the main motion on the floor. He feels that were several strong viewpoints that could have
changed minds, there could have been amendments to the motion had the opportunity been there.
However in moving to vote right after the motion was made, did not allow for the proper discussion
of the merits of the motion itself.
Commissioner Kelley said there is a proper procedure but many times based on small board rules
all the elements are there, but not necessarily in the correct order. While he agrees there should be
discussion every time, it does not always happen with this group and up until now, no one has had
an issue with this process. He believes the topic was thoroughly discussed before it was voted on.
Commissioners Stathos and Kaschmitter had no comment.
Commissioner Johnson said he remembered Commissioner Kelley making a motion without the
25,000 square foot requirement with the CUP requirement but the motion was not very clear to
him. After some conversation, Mr. Kelley made a motion to accept the amendment as it was
written. Commissioner Johnson said it seemed the motion was unclear, and then all of the sudden
there was a vote on it. Commissioner Kelley said his only confusion was when Ms. Barlow
interjected that he adopted staff's proposed language changes, otherwise he said he was aware of
what his motion was.
Commissioner Walton added he understands that while at times the Commission does follow small
board rules, it does not relinquish its right to follow the proper procedures when adopting a motion
for Commission business. He also said to Commissioner Johnson's point, he was confused about
what the actual motion before he was asked to vote on it, Commissioner Phillips stated he seconded
the motion made by Commissioner Kelley and he understood the motion, whether it was understood
by anyone else, five people voted in favor of it. Someone understood it enough to vote on it.
Commissioner Walton said he was going to make one more plea that there is order and procedure
for a reason. If they are not followed, there has to be a remedy for it, especially if there was an
opportunity to seek clarification or to add additional clarification. He appreciates the extensive
discussion prior to the motion being made, but after the motion is made there needs to be
opportunity offer amendments and additional discussion based on the language of the motion itself
before there is a vote. This did not occur during the vote of CTA -2018-0002, which violated proper
procedure; he encourages the Commission to consider this when voting on the motion to rescind
the motion.
The motion failed with a vote of three in favor and four against with C°onrrnissioners Kaschmitter;
Kelley, Phillips and Rasmussen dissenting.
VIM GOOD OF THE ORDER: Thanks to staff and Commission members for discussion on parliamentary
procedure.
IX, ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Johnson moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:46 p.m. The vote on
the :motion was unanimous in favor, the motion passed.

PROPOSAL BACKGROUND: The proposal is to allow hotels and motels on sites with frontage on a principal
arterial in the Industrial zone. if the building footprint is greater than 25,000 square feet, the use would be
subject to a conditional use permit. The proposal modifies the SVMC 19.60.050 Permitted Uses Matrix
and SVMC 19.65.080 Lodging - Supplemental Use Regulations. The intent is to allow hotels/motels in the
Industrial zone, but keep the hotel/motel location on the perimeter of the industrial areas to minimize
conflict with industrial related activities, such as truck traffic and hazardous operations. The Applicant has
StaffReport and Recommendation CTA -2018-0002
noted its view that hotels are needed in the Industrial zone to provide proximal lodging for commuting
workers — an evolving trend where workers commute to the job, but maintain permanent residence
elsewhere.
Analysis:
Currently hotels and motels are allowed in four zones, (see Table 1 below) without supplemental
regulations. The proposed amendment would permit hotels and motels in the Industrial zone only if the
site has frontage on a principal arterial. This limits potential sites to Industrial zoned properties adjacent to
North Sullivan Road (in the NE corporate limits) and a limited area along Broadway Avenue (in the
westerly corporate limits) that 1 ies outside of the Airport Hazard Overlay Zone (AHOZ). Pursuant to SVMC
19.110.030(1)(E)(1)(f), high intensity uses are prohibited.

The development regulations pertaining to a hotel/motel use in the zones that currently allow hotels and
motels were compared to the Industrial zone. The only difference in the regulations was that uses located
in the Industrial zone are exempt from landscaping requirements for the site and parking areas (See Table
2). In the absence of setbacks, height requirements, etc, in the Zoning Code, the International Building
Code (IBC) and the International Fire Code (ITC) will determine any setbacks, height etc., It was noted that
transitional regulations are called out where properties of more intensive zoning abut less intensively zoned
properties. However, a review of the areas affected by the proposal notes that these circumstances do not
exist and therefore transitional regulations would not be triggered.

CTA -2018-0002
capacity for commercial, industrial and residential
The intent of the Industrial zone (I) is to provide
lands for industrial development (manufacturing,
processing, fabrications, assembly, disassembly,
and freight -handling) - uses that could have
significant noise, odor, or aesthetic impacts. Non-
industrial uses should be limited to preserve
industrial land viability but ancillary uses should
be permitted to serve the industrial uses.
The proposed CTA -2018-0002 also includes
amended language that provides that if the
proposed hotel/motel has a building footprint
greater than 25,000 square feet, a conditional use permit is required. The proposed language would allow
a development with as many floors and rooms as the site could support without a conditional use permit
(CUP) because the total square footage is not linked to a CUP.
This language suggests that a three—story, 75,000 square foot hotel or motel with a 25,000 square foot
footprint could be constructed without a CUP, but a smaller 2 story hotel with a total area of 55,000
square feet and a footprint of 27,500 square feet could require a CUP However maintaining a footprint of
25,000 square feet or less leads to a more intense use of the land with vertical construction and results in
preserving lands for industrial uses.
For comparison to understand the scale of such a structure the new city hall building has a total area of
—43,000 square feet and three floors; a current building permit for a hotel includes a total area of 29,000
square feet and will include over 200 rooms. If the CUP process is linked to a footprint rather than the
total square footage, a CUP may never be required by virtue of design driving vertical development.
Impacts from a hotel or motel use would generally be addressed by the City's development regulations or
other agencies with jurisdiction, i.e. fire, water, sewer. The SVMC would address site development impacts
such as drainage, access, parking, signage, etc., Traffic impacts are typically addressed through the
concurrency requirement and mitigated through the SEPA review process. Large trip generators are
typically required to provide a traffic study.
Discussions with the Assistant Building Official note the following:
• The Building and Fire Codes (adopted by reference pursuant to Title 24 SVMC) generally dictate
property line setbacks and other protective measures where hazardous or dangerous uses occupy
buildings/sites. The Building and Fire Codes dictate property line setbacks due to the fact that the
development under consideration generally has no control over the existing or future development
of an adjacent site.
• If a large industrial parcel is developed with a hotel and the developer wishes to utilize the
remainder of the site for a hazardous industrial use, there could be restrictions which would dictate
no -build areas or fine lanes to provide the protection normally afforded by the property line setback
requirements.
A review of the regulations in place notes that all anticipated impacts from this use, including location and
proximity to other uses, would be addressed by existing regulations.

Staff Report and Recommendation CTA -2018-0002
The Applicant has noted that the market requires lodging uses to be proximal to the work place to provide
convenient alternatives for workers who may commute during the week and maintain a permanent residence
elsewhere, or lodging for the increased number of persons involved in routine visits that involve short term
stays and desire to be close to the site. Currently lodging is allowed in the four zones discussed above. The
analysis discussed in this report did not consider whether allowing lodging in the Industrial zone would
result in a significant shift of lodging uses to the industrial areas from the corridors based on land values,
nor consider the impacts to the industrial land capacity by allowing additional non -industrial uses. The
location of the land along arterials in the Industrial zone suggests a limited customer base with a direct
correlation to the viability of the site for hotels and motels. Requiring that lodging sites have principal
arterial frontage minimizes the opportunity for development and leads to a conclusion that the impact to
available industrial lands would be marginal.

❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Authorization to City Manager to issue
Termination Notice to Spokane County Regarding Hearing Examiner Interlocal Agreement
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 39.34 RCW; chapter 18.20 SVMC.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City has contracted with Spokane County for
hearing examiner services since the City's inception in 2003.
BACKGROUND: Mike Dempsey served in the role of Hearing Examiner for both Spokane
County and Spokane Valley from 2003 until December 31, 2017. Spokane County then hired
David Hubert as the new Hearing Examiner.
Mr. Hubert has heard several matters in 2018, but has also recused himself from hearing two
matters relating to development applications from Diamond Rock Construction, which is owned
by Dennis Crapo. Mr. Hubert apparently has a long-standing relationship with the Crapo family
which creates a potential issue regarding the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. This doctrine
relates to actual or potential conflicts of interest in decision -makers, and ensures that parties
appearing before such decision -makers are free from such conflicts. This doctrine is critical in
the public having confidence that critical land -use decisions are made on objective bases, rather
than on personal relationships.
Staff want to make it extremely clear that neither Mr. Hubert nor Mr. Crapo are believed to be
engaging in conduct that would violate the Appearance of Fairness Doctrine. Mr. Crapo owns a
large amount of residential property in the City, and is a very active developer. Based on their
prior relationship, Mr. Hubert has been careful to recuse himself from matters relating to Mr.
Crapo. Unfortunately, this is creating a situation for the City where it has multiple hearing
examiners, Mr. Hubert and a pro tem hearing examiner from the City of Spokane, Brian McGinn.
This results in staff needing to work with two separate staff to prepare for various matters (not at
the same time), including staff reports, scheduling, noticing, updates regarding the Spokane
Valley Municipal Code, etc.
Staff believes it would be in the best interests of the City to terminate the interlocal agreement
for provision of hearing examiner services and determine how best to obtain such services from
another party. The interlocal agreement requires a minimum of 180 days' notice for any
termination. The timing of this notice reflects the City's attempt to minimize any budgetary
impact this action would have on the County as a mid -year action. As such, any new hearing
examiner the City hired would not start until January 1, 2019.
If Council agrees with this proposed action, staff would begin the process of identifying how the
services would be provided by somebody else. The following is a list of the hourly rates the City
has paid for these services from Spokane County over the past three years, and which we
anticipate would be similar into the future:
2015 - $12,639
2016 - $21,662
2017 - $30,021
($140 per hour)
($137 per hour)
($141 per hour)
OPTIONS: (1) Authorize the City Manager to send 180 day notice of termination to Spokane
County of the Interlocal Agreement for Hearing Examiner Services in the City of Spokane
Valley; or (2) take other action as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we authorize the City Manager to send 180
day notice to Spokane County of the termination of the Interlocal Agreement for Hearing
Examiner Services in the City of Spokane Valley.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Unknown.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Real property acquisition — 729 South Carnahan
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 3.49.010.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
BACKGROUND: The City has been studying the layout of the intersection at 8t' Avenue and Carnahan
Road for some time because it is an off -set intersection, with a physical constraint in the form of a large
rock outcropping on the southwest corner. This outcropping impacts options available to the City in the
event the City were to undertake a project to alter the intersection. Please note that the City does not
currently have plans or funding to undertake this intersection project. The attachments show both
potential intersection configurations.
Staff has determined that there are likely two options to alter the intersection to remove the offset. First,
the City could construct a roundabout in this intersection. The second option could be a signalized
intersection. Current traffic counts do not warrant a signal. However, a ten percent increase in traffic
volumes would trigger the 4 -hour vehicular volume signal warrant. Either option would require the City
to acquire property from two different lots, one at 729 South Carnahan (corner lot), and the lot at 707
South Carnahan. The amount of land needed from these two lots would be different depending on
whether the signalized intersection or roundabout was chosen. The attachments show the two potential
options with the maximum acquisition needed from each parcel. The City previously purchased 707
South Carnahan.
The lot at 729 South Carnahan is approximately .9 acres, and is zoned Mixed Use. It is owned by
Michael and Michelle Yarborough. It has a residence, unattached garage, and a separate outbuilding shop
behind the house. Staff is proposing that the City acquire the entire lot, then dedicate the maximum
property needed for the intersection project from both 729 and 707 South Carnahan, and then put both
parcels on the market. These properties, which are .9 acres each, could be purchased separately or
together and used for mixed use or residential purposes. The real estate market is extremely active right
now, and the City hopes to recoup most of its expenses from these two purchases by selling both parcels
in the very near future.
Staff has used the real property procurement policies required by federal law for projects that may be
funded with federal funds. Typically, the City receives around 83% funding for these types of federal
projects. A consequence of using the federal process, however, is that this process is very stringent. The
City is required to pay fair market value which is determined by an appraisal that assumes the highest and
best use of the property. In addition, the property owner is entitled to moving expenses and incidental
expenses related to their relocation such as inspection fees, appraisal fees, and other incidentals related to
the closing of a new property. The property owner is also entitled to the additional cost for purchasing a
comparable replacement housing (`price differential'). The price differential is determined by using
comparable houses which are currently in the market (i.e. their sale cannot be pending or contingent).
This is required to ensure the property owner is not disadvantaged in having to sell at the jurisdiction's
request, and to allow the seller the ability to get into essentially the same type of house if they would like.
This market differential only comes into play, however, if the seller then buys a more expensive house, up
to $329,900. For this purchase, the total projected cost to the City is as follows, which are all required
under the federal process. Staff is also including an extra $10,000 in the authorization in the event there
are incidental costs not currently identified. If there are no such costs, this extra amount would not be
spent.
Purchase price (appraisal price)
Market differential (difference b/n $292,000 and $329,000) — up to
Closing costs (estimate)
Incidentals expense (estimate)
Moving expenses (self -move option)
TOTAL (with additional $10,000 for unknown incidental costs)
$292,000
$ 37,900
$ 10,000
$ 10,000
$ 2,200
$362,100
As mentioned above, staff will endeavor to recoup as much of this money as it can by dedicating the
property it needs for the intersection project, and then quickly putting the property on the market for
resale.
The other option the City has is to identify the maximum amount of property it needs for the project, and
then pursue condemnation and force the sale of just that portion it needs. This would likely be a much
more contentious process than a negotiated purchase, and often ends up in trial. Most jurisdictions use
condemnation to avoid acquiring more property than they need, but the City has not used it in its 15 years
of being a city. Staff can provide additional information at a subsequent meeting if Council is interested
in pursuing this option.
OPTIONS: (1) Authorize the City Manager to complete this negotiated transaction with the Yarbroughs;
(2) Take other action as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute all documents necessary to complete the acquisition of the property at 729 South Carnahan in an
amount not to exceed $362,100.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Up to $362,100, will be expended from Capital Reserve Fund #312
which staff will try to recoup to the greatest extent possible by reselling the property after dedicating
necessary right-of-way for the future intersection project. Proceeds from the sale will be redeposited in
Capital Reserve Fund #312.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: BNSF 2nd Mainline Track — Project Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: In 2018 and 2019, the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (BNSF) is
undertaking a rail expansion project that was initially planned for a 2025 timeframe. Current
business practices and favorable railroad market conditions have them completing the work at
this time.
The project, the "Otis Orchards to Irvin Double Track Project," entails the planning, design, and
construction of a second mainline track from just east of Barker Road to just west of Pines Road
(SR -27) in Spokane Valley. In general, the project includes 4.4 miles of mainline track parallel
to the existing track as well as modifications to existing public road crossings, existing railroad
communication infrastructure, existing railroad structures, and the construction of a new railroad
bridge over the Spokane River.
The Double Track Project will have a direct impact on five public road crossings, four at -grade
crossings and one grade -separated crossing. The at -grade crossings include Barker Road,
Flora Road, Evergreen Road, and Pines Road and the grade -separated crossing at Sullivan

Over the last several months, City staff have been coordinating with BNSF on their project
approach to minimize the impacts to the City, its residents, and the traveling public during
construction. To assist with the coordination and review of the BNSF project, the City has
retained professional consulting engineering and legal services.

The Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995 (Act) preempts most pre -construction
permit requirements imposed by states and localities if those requirements could result in a disruption
to operations (interstate commerce) of a common carrier over any part of the interstate rail network'.
The term common carrier is not defined in the Act but is defined by common law and agency precedent.
A railroad that is a common carrier provides service to any and all shippers along the line that request
service or may want service in the future2. Common carriers are subject to the Surface Transportation
Board (STB) regulations and thus the Act. Common carriers include both main lines and branch lines (i.e.
those lines that serve shippers in rural communities).

The Federal Laws Applicable to Railroads
33-100 Introduction
Congress and the courts long have recognized a need to regulate railroad operations at the federal level City of
Auburn v. United States, 154 F.3d 1025 (9th Cir. 1998), A number of federal laws are controlling, but three commonly
found to preempt state and local attempts to regulate railroad activities are the Interstate Commerce Commission
Termination Act of 1995, the Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970, and the Noise Control Act of 1972.
The state and local issues examined in this section are limited to those that are primarily related to land use. The
general principal arising from the statutory and case law is that, if a railroad is engaged in transportation -related
activities, federal law will preempt state and local attempts to regulate.
33-200 The Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995
The Interstate Commerce Commission Termination Act of 1995 ("ICCTA") (49 U.S.C.A. §10101 et seq)
abolished the Interstate Commerce Commission and gave the Surface Transportation Board exclusive jurisdiction
over: (1) transportation by rail carriers and the remedies provided with respect to rates, classifications, rules
(including car service, interchange, and other operating rules), practices, routes, services, and facilities of such
carriers; and (2) the construction, acquisition, operation, abandonment, or discontinuance of spur, industrial, team,
switching, or side tracks, or facilities, even if the tracks are located, or intended to be located, entirely in one state. 4.9
U.S.0 j 10501(b).
The ICCTA preempts state and local rrguulatiort, i.e., "those state laws that may reasonably be said to have the
effect oF `managing' or `governing' rail transportation." Norfolk Southern Railway Company o. Cill /' Ile.�nrrd�za, 608
F.3d 150, 157--158 (4ih Cir. 2010) (city ordinance regulating the transportation of bulk materials, including ethanol,
and city permit unilaterally issued to the railroad under the ordinance regulating the transport of ethanol to the
railroad's transload facility, was preempted by the ICCTA). Thus, the ICCTA preempts the state and local regulation
of matters directly regulated by the Surface Transportation Board, such as the construction, operation, and
abandonment of rail lines. Emerson t Kansas City S. Ry. Co., 503 F.3d 1126 (10th Cir. 2007); F,iberg U. Kansas City S. Ry.
Co., 267 F.3d 439 (5th Cir. 2001). Whether a state or local regulation is preempted requires a factual assessment of
whether the action would have the effect of preventing or unreasonably interfering with railroad transportation.
Emerson, supra.
Following is a summary of state and local permitting or preclearance requirements preempted by the ICCTA
because, by their nature, they could be used to deny a railroad the ability to perform part of its operations or to
proceed with activities authorized by the Surface Transportation Board (collected in Emerson, supra):
• Preconstruction permitting of a transload facility. Green Mountain R.R. Corp. v. Vermont, 404 F.3d 638 (2d Cit.
2005).
• Environmental and land use permitting. City ofAuburn y United States, 154 F.3d 1025 (9th Cir. 1998).
• The demolition permitting process. Soo Line R.R. Co. u. City ofMinneapolis, 38 F. Supp. 2d 1096 (D.Minn. 1998).
• Requirement that railroad companies obtain state approval before discontinuing station agents, abandoning rail
lines, or removing side tracks or spurs. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. U. Anderson, 959 F. Supp. 1288 (D.Mont.
1997).
Following is a summary of areas of state and local regulations directly regulated by the Surface Transportation
Board and, therefore, ate preempted by the ICCTA (collected in Emerson, supra):
33-1
The Albemarle County Land Use Law Handbook
March 2012
• State statutes regulating railroad operations. Friberg v. Kansas City S. Ry. Co., 267 F.3d 439 (5th Cir. 2001) (state
and local regulations such as those attempting to limit the duration that crossings are blocked are operational
requirements and are preempted); RR I/entams, Inc v. Surface Transportation Baan, 299 F.3d 523 (6th Cir. 2002)
(state statute regulating railroad operations preempted); CSX 1 insportation, Inc. v. City of Plymouth, 283 F.3d 812
(6t1 Cir. 2002) (holding that state law imposing limitation on duration at which crossing may be blocked by train,
which is related to train speed, was preempted).
• State statutes regulating contracts between rail carriers. San Luis Cent. RR. Co. v. Spins Terminal Ry. Co., 369
F. Supp. 2d 172 (D.Mass. 2005) (contract between rail carriers concerning use of railroad cars and payment rates
preempted in light of other ICCTA provisions regulating those issues).
• Attempts to condemn railroad tracks or nearby and. City ofLincaln v. Saaface Transportation Board, 414 F.3d 858
(8th Cir. 2005) (attempt to use eminent domain to acquire portion of property abutting a rail line for municipal
bicycle trail preempted); Wis. Ont. Ltd. V. City ofMar:rlfeld, 160 F. Supp. 2d 1009 (W.D.Wis. 2000) (attempt to
use state's condemnation statute to condemn an actively used railroad track preempted).
• State negligence and nuisance claims. Fribetg, supra (state claims of negligence and neg igence per se concerning a
railroad's alleged blockages of road leading to plaintiffs business were preempted); Rztshin, n. KansasCity S. Ry.
Co., 194 F. Supp. 2d 493 (S.D.Miss. 2001) (state law nuisance and negligence claims that would interfere with
operation of railroad switchyard preempted),
Following is a summary of state and local activities not preempted by the ICCTA:
• Voluntary agreements entered into by the railroad. PCS Phosphate Co. v. Norfolk Southern Corp., 559 F.3d 212, 221
(4«' Cir. 2009) (quoting the Surface Transportation Board that "voluntary agreements may be seen as reflecting
the carrier's own determination and admission that the agreements would not unreasonably interfere with
interstate commerce," though this rule is not absolute).
• Traditional police powers over the development of railroad property such as electrical, plumbing and fire codes,
at least to the extent that the regulations protect the public health and safety, are settled and defined, and can be
obeyed with reasonable certainty, entail no extended or open-ended delays, and can be approved or rejected
without the exercise of discretion on subjective questions. Green .A4ountain RR Corp. v. Vetmont, 404 F.3d 638 (2d
Cir. 2005). The regulations may not discriminate against rail carriers or unreasonably burden rail carriage.
Southern Norfolk, sora.
• Zoning regulations applied to railroad -owned land used for non -railroad purposes by a third party. Flotilla East
Coast Railway Comp®, v. City of Vest Palm Beach, 266 F.3d 1324 (11 a' Cir. 2001).
• Miscellaneous laws and acts determined to not have anything to do with transportation. Emerson, surra (summary
judgment for railroad was reversed because the railroad's acts of depositing old railroad ties and other debris
into a drainage ditch abutting plaintiff's property, which allegedly caused the flooding of plaintiffs' property,
were not preempted because they had nothing to do with transportation); Hi Tech Trans, LLC v. NewJersey, 382
F.3d 295 (3td Cir. 2004) (state regulation of solid waste disposal facility serving railroad was not preempted).
• State statute requiring railroads to pay for pedestrian crossings across railroad tracks. Adrian & Blisefield R.R. a
Village ofBlissfield, 550 F.3d 533 (6th Cir. 2008) (determined not to be preempted by the ICCTA).
33-300 The Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970
Issues regarding state and local regulation of train speed and the duration rIiat railroad crossings are blocked are
also considered under the Federal Railroad Safety Act of 1970 ("FRSA"). Tirc l itS.,1 contemplates a comprehensive
and uniform set of safety regulations in all areas of railroad operations. Chicap 7 izw, ! ; dnthority v. Floln•, 570 F.2d
1305 (7th Cir. 1977). The purpose of the FRSA is to "promote safety in evety area of railroad operations and reduce
33-2
The Albemarle County Land Use Law 1 -landbook
34farch 2012
railroad --related accidents and incidents." 49 U.S.0 If 20101.
The FRSA includes a preemption provision that, among other things, allows state and local governments to
regulate only those matters on which the Secretary of Transportation has not yet regulated. The Secretary regulates
train speeds, which depend on the classification of the tracks. CSX Transportation, Inc. v. Cite of 1)/pm/rib, 283 F.3d 812
(6th Cir. 2002) (holding that state late imposing a limitation on the duration at which a crossing may be blocked by a
train, which is related to train speed, was preempted); see also CSX Transportation, Inc. P. City of Mitchell, 105 F. Supp.
2c1 949 (S.D.Ind. 1999) (granting summary judgment to railroad and enjoining city from enforcing law prohibiting
railroad from blocking crossing for more than 10 minutes); Driesora v. Iowa, Chicago &Eastern Railroad Corporation, 777
F. Supp. 2d 1143 (N.D. Iowa 2011) (partial summary judgment for railroad; federal regulations governing the
movement of trains, including blocked crossings as they pertained to air brake testing requirements, preempted state
and local laws).
In Plymoarth, the attorney general argued that the crux of the state statute was not train speed, but "the time that
trains may block highway traffic." The court of appeals was unpersuaded by this contention, explaining that "the
amount of time a moving train spends at a grade crossing is mathematically a function of the length of the train and
the speed at which the train is traveling." The court concluded that the statute would require the railroad to modify
either the speed at which its trains travel or their length, and would also restrict the railroad's performance of
federally mandated air brake tests. The court also concluded that numerous federal regulations covered the speed at
which trains may travel and, thus, the federal regulations "substantially subsume the subject matter of the relevant
state law." Plymouth, 283 F. 3d at 817.
Congress intended that the ICCTA and the FRSA coexist. While the Surface Transportation Board must adhere
to federal policies encouraging "safe and suitable working conditions in the railroad industry," the ]CCTA and its
legislative history contain no evidence that Congress intended for the Surface Transportation Board to supplant the
Federal Railroad Administration's authority over rail safety under the FRSA. Tyrrell v. Norfolk Southern Railway Co.,
248 F.3d 517 (6th Cir. 2001). Rather, the agencies' complementary exercise of their statutory authority accurately
reflects Congress's intent for the ICCTA and the FRSA to be construed in pari materia.Tyrell, supra.
33-400 The Noise Control Act of 1972
Issues regarding state and local regulation of train noise are evaluated under the Noise Control Act of 1972
("NCA"), which establishes the maximum noise levels for rail cars engaged in interstate commerce. The preemption
provision under the NCA has been described as being "decidedly narrow." Rushing v. Kansas City Soultherw Ry. Co., 185
F.3d 496 (5a' Cir. 1999).
Many cases in this area ate based on state nuisance claims brought by abutting landowners. Generally, if the
noise generated by the train has a transportation purpose and is within the NCA's noise limits, state and local
regulation is preempted. Rushing, supra (holding that a triable issue of fact existed based on the plaintiffs' lay opinion
that the railroad's expert's opinion regarding compliance was based on sound measurements which did not reflect
the true sound level plaintiffs typically heard); Jones v. Union Pacific RR, 79 Cal.App.4th 793 (2000) (holding that
plaintiffs nuisance claim could proceed against the railroad for excessive idling and horn blowing near plaintiff's
home because plaintiff had adequately alleged that these activities did not have a transportation purpose but were,
instead, done solely to harass the plaintiff).

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 22nd Avenue Traffic Briefing
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: Over the last ten months, residents along East 22nd Avenue have been
concerned about the increase in speed and traffic volume on their roadway. In response to their
concerns, City staff has evaluated the conditions and reported those findings back to the
residents.
East 22nd Avenue is located in the southeast area of the City, adjacent to the city/county border.
This area of the City, platted as Ridgemont Estates, was developed in the mid 1970's and was
considered the outskirts of county development. On July 18, 2013, Spokane County expanded
the urban growth area (UGA) to the east and south of Ridgemont Estates and the area was
quickly platted. With the recent economic surge in the region over the last few years, the newly
platted UGA is being developed. This new development has increased traffic in the existing
neighborhoods, causing the concern of the 22nd Avenue residents.
Beginning in 2017, a developer came to the City to begin the approval process for building a
226 home subdivision named the Vistas at Belleaire. The new subdivision will reside inside the
City, within a parcel just north of the south City limits, located east and north of Ridgemont
Estates. The development has the potential to add to the already growing traffic on the City's
roadways, which includes the County's rapid residential growth between Sullivan and Barker
Roads. Since beginning the permitting process, the Ridgemont Estates residents have been
active to insure that this new growth will have minimal traffic impacts on their streets.
The residents of the area have written numerous emails and made several phone calls
expressing their traffic concerns. They fear that if the City were to allow the new Vistas at
Belleaire subdivision to move forward, along with the continued County development in the
area, their lifestyle will be significantly impacted as a result of traffic congestion. First, the
neighborhood is concerned about safety due to the speeds on the roadway and the lack of
pedestrian facilities. Second, they are concerned about the increase in traffic volumes and its
impacts on existing residential roadway facilities. Finally, they are concerned that their
residential roadway is not suited for the increase in traffic from a design standpoint.
Brainstorming by the residents has resulted in their requests for various measures including the
installation of speed bumps/humps, stop controlled intersections, and traffic restrictions to their
neig hborhood.
Over the last 10 months, the City has coordinated efforts with the neighborhood and evaluated
traffic in the area and has reached several conclusions:
• A Traffic and Speed Study conducted in November 2017 indicates that traffic volumes
and speeds fall within established standards for the residential roadway.
• New development within the UGA may increase traffic in the neighborhood by
approximately 20%.
• Installation of stop -controlled intersections is not warranted by the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD).
Two traffic mitigation measures that have the potential for managing traffic in the area include
the use of radar speed signs and placing truck restrictions on the roadways. These measures,
which are relatively inexpensive, have been used in other areas of the City.
OPTIONS: Discussion Only
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus on moving forward with the two above-
mentioned mitigation measures.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Final impact yet to be determined.

Re: Engineering and Traffic Survey / Speed Study Summary
INTRODUCTION
This Engineering and Traffic Survey for the City of Spokane Valley was conducted to evaluate
the existing speeds along the roadway segment of 22nd Avenue between Vera Crest Drive and
Conklin Road (approximately 1/4 mile).
PREVAILING SPEEDS
Posted speed limits are primarily established to protect the general public from unreasonable
behavior of reckless, unreliable, or otherwise dangerous drivers. The majority of drivers comply
with the basic speed law (RCW 46.61.400) and maximum limits. These posted limits provide law
enforcement with the means to identify and cite those that violate what is accepted by the majority.
RCW 46.61.400 states that, "no person shall drive a vehicle on a (highway) at a speed greater
than is reasonable and prudent under the conditions and having regard to the actual and potential
hazards then existing. In every event speed shall be so controlled as may be necessary to avoid
colliding with any person, vehicle or other conveyance on or entering the highway in compliance
with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care."
Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 468-95-045 lists several criteria for consideration when
establishing the speed limit, including: 85th percentile speed, roadway characteristics, pace speed,
and roadside development and environment. The speed limit is generally set at the nearest 5 mph
increment at or below the 85th percentile. This document summarizes the evaluation of the existing
speeds along 22nd Avenue with consideration of the criteria referenced above.
STUDY AREA
22nd Avenue is a two-lane local roadway. There currently is no posted speed limit along this
segment; as such, the legal speed limit is 25 mph in this residential area. The study area limits are
illustrated in the figure below. Table 1 summarizes the study roadway segment.

currently with no traffic control.

DATA COLLECTION
An Engineering and Traffic Survey form was prepared for the segment shown in Table 1.
Significant measures reported in the Engineering and Traffic Survey are summarized below:
• The 50th percentile is the median speed of the observed data set. The 50th percentile speed
represents the speed at which half of the observed vehicles are below and half of the observed
vehicles are above. The 50th percentile of speed represents the average speed of the traffic
stream.
The critical speed, or 85th percentile speed, is the speed at or below which 85 percent of
the traffic is moving. This speed is the primary guide in determining the voluntary compliance
of the greater majority of drivers. A speed limit set higher than the critical speed is not
considered reasonable and safe. Speed limits set a great deal lower than the critical speed would
not elicit respect from the public.
The 10 mph Pace is the 10 mph range of speed which contains the most vehicles. It is a measure
of the dispersion of speeds within the samples surveyed. This 10 mph range is that which contains the
greatest number of speed measurements. The established speed limit is typically within the 10 mph
Pace.
An Outlier is any value that is numerically distant from most of the other data points in a set of
data. In the case of vehicle speed studies, an outlier indicates a speed that is significantly different than
the typical speeds on the roadway.
For this analysis, 24-hour tube counts were conducted at a location along 22nd Avenue between
Vera Crest Drive and Conklin Road during the week of October 9th to October 13th, 2017 to obtain
prevailing speeds in the study area. As shown in Figure 2, the tubes were set just west of Carmine
Court. Traffic in both directions was recorded during the survey period. To ensure capture of free
flow speed, the specific location of measurement of the segment was selected after considering the
following:
• Minimal stop sign / traffic signal influence • Avoid influence of curvature or other
• Little to no visibility restrictions roadway conditions that may affect the
• Uncongested traffic flow normal operations of a vehicle

SPEED STUDY RESULTS
This section provides a summary of the results of the speed survey along roadway segment of 22nd
Avenue between Vera Crest Drive and Conklin Road. A 3 -day average during the typical
weekdays of Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday was calculated as part of this analysis. There
were speeds measured for 3,926 vehicles in both directions. The 50th percentile speeds are shown
in Figure 3. The 50th percentile speed is the speed at or below which 50% of the drivers are
traveling. As shown in Figure 3, the 50th percentile speed along the segment of 22nd Avenue,
between Conklin Road and Vera Crest Drive is approximately 26 mph.

The 85th percentile speeds resulting from the speed survey are shown in Figure 4. The 85th
percentile speed is the primary guide in determining the voluntary compliance of the greater
majority of drivers. This level indicates that 85% of the drivers on the road are driving at or below
the resultant speed. As shown in Figure 4, the 85th percentile speed along the segment of 22nd
Avenue, between Conklin Road and Vera Crest Drive is just below 30 mph.

As previously stated, an established speed limit is typically
within the 10 mph pace. As shown in Figure 5, the 10 mph
pace for each direction is typically between 21 mph and 31
mph. The 85th percentile speed is near the upper limit of the
10 mph pace for each day of the study. Across the three day
period, approximately 80% of the vehicle speeds measured
fell within the 10 mph pace.
An additional measure of speed compliance is how many
outliers were observed. During the three day study period,
there were 54 vehicles identified exceeding 35 mph; six (6)
of which were exceeding 45 mph and three (3) were further
shown to exceed 55 mph. This equates to less than 2% of
vehicles exceeding 35 mph out of the 3,926 measured
speeds, with less than 0.2% exceeding 45 mph.

SUMMARY AND DISCUSSION
Based on the data collected and evaluated for this study, the measured speeds were used to
determine if speeding is an issue on this segment and, if so, determine recommended measures to
reduce speeding. As shown in Table 2 the measured 50th percentile speeds and 85th percentile
speeds on 22nd Avenue between Conklin Road and Vera Crest Drive are 1 mph and 5 mph above
the default 25 mph speed limit, respectively.

As summarized in Table 2, it is interesting to note that the uphill speed (eastbound) is nearly
identical to the downhill speed (westbound). It was expected that the downhill speeds would be
higher and possibly excessive. This result is likely due to the location of the count, which was
approximately 2/3 of the distance up the hill (see Figure 2). This location allows less distance for
downhill vehicles to accelerate and more distance for the uphill vehicles to gain speed.
This segment of 22nd Avenue has a paved width of 36 feet, which, with on -street parking,
potentially reduces the travelled way to a 20 -foot width. Combined with the residential nature of
the roadway and horizontal curvature, excessive speeding is not expected to increase over time.
However, based on feedback from a resident, the developing area to the west of Conklin Road uses
this street as a cut -through to Sullivan Road to avoid Saltese Road. As development continues in
this area, much of the "new" traffic is likely to use 22nd to Vera Crest as a short cut to Sullivan. As
a result, the volumes will likely continue to increase on this segment. Over time, this increase in
volumes will increase the perception of congestion on the residential roadways in the area and may
necessitate future monitoring.

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: June 19, 2018 Department Director Approval:
Check all that apply: ❑ consent
❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative report — repeal of chapter 2.45 SVMC — Department of Public
Safety.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 2.45 SVMC.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of chapter 2.45 SVMC through adoption of
Ordinance 03-069 in 2003, shortly after incorporation.
BACKGROUND: Shortly after we incorporated, the City Council adopted chapter 2.45 SVMC, creating
the Department of Public Safety. It was believed at that time that the City should have such a department
to coordinate the various public safety functions that would be provided by outside entities, such as fire,
public health, and law enforcement.
In reality, each organization that provides public safety related services (police, fire and health district)
are separate municipal entities with their own elected or appointed leadership over whom the City has no
legal control, excepting of course contracted law enforcement services provided by the Spokane County
Sheriff. Because the City has never had a "Department of Public Safety," because the City has no legal
control over these other entities, and because the City Manager communicates on an as -needed basis with
all such entities affecting the health and safety of our citizens, there is no need for such an entity in the
City.
Staff is recommending this chapter be repealed in its entirety because it is not being used, and its
existence and stated function has caused confusion with prior Councilmembers.
OPTIONS: (1) Place on a future agenda for an ordinance first reading; or (2) take other action as
appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus to place on a future agenda for an ordinance
first reading.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.
STAFF CONTACT: Cary Driskell, City Attorney

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
ORDINANCE NO. 18-0**
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY,
WASHINGTON, REPEALING CHAPTER 2.45 SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE
RELATING TO DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING
THERETO.
WHEREAS, the City originally adopted chapter 2.45 SVMC, Department of Public Safety, in 2003
with the belief it was necessary for the proper oversight and communication between the City Manager and
the various third party entities providing public safety services in the City; and
WHEREAS, the City has never utilized chapter 2.45 SVMC since it was adopted; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager communicates on an as -needed basis with the Police Chief, the Fire
Chief from District 8, the Fire Chief from District 1 (Spokane Valley Fire), the Spokane Regional Health
District, as well as other regional participants in the provision of public safety, all for the betterment and
protection of our citizens; and
WHEREAS, each of these outside organizations that provides public safety related services are
separate municipal entities with their own elected or appointed leadership over whom the City has no legal
control, with the exception of contracted law enforcement services provided by the Spokane County Sheriff.
Because the City has never had a Department of Public Safety, because the City has no legal control over
these other entities, and because the City Manager communicates on an as -needed basis with all such
entities affecting the health and safety of our citizens, there is no need for such an entity in the City; and
WHEREAS, the presence of chapter 2.45 SVMC has created confusion for some citizens regarding
what its role is and should be, and repealing this chapter of the SVMC will remove that confusion.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County,
Washington, ordains as follows:
Section 1. Purpose. The purpose and intent of this Ordinance is to repeal chapter 2.45 SVMC because it
is unnecessary for protecting the public in times of emergency, and its existence creates confusion regarding
how it should be utilized.
Section 2. Repeal. Chapter 2.45 Spokane Valley Municipal Code is hereby repealed in its entirety.
Section 3. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause or phrase of this Ordinance shall be held to be
invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or unconstitutionality shall
not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause, or phrase in this Ordinance.
Section 4. Effective Date. This Ordinance shall be in full force and effect five days after publication of
this Ordinance or a summary thereof in the official newspaper of the City of Spokane Valley as provided
by law.

RE: Monthly Report May 2018
in August 2016, we switched from UCR to N1BRS classification, which means we went from reporting based
on a hierarchy to reporting all the crimes for each incident. Consequently, comparing crime statistics before
August 2016 to crime statistics after that timeframe is not recommended using the data provided in the attached
charts and graphs.
ADMINISTRATIVE:
Chief Werner attended the Spokane Communications (SpoCom) Board Meeting in mid-May.
The Annual Law Enforcement Appreciation Breakfast was held in early May; one of the local churches
hosted the event again this year. Later in the morning, a memorial presentation was held in the cul-
de-sac at the Public Safety Building, where those law enforcement officers who lost their life in the
line of duty were recognized.
Chief Werner attended the "Let Freedom Ring" Breakfast in mid-May, at the Davenport, along with
other members of the Sheriff's Office Command Staff.
The Semi -Annual Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) Conference was
held in late May, at the Spokane Convention Center. Chief Werner and Sheriff Knezovich attended

S.C.O.P.E. Incident Response Team (SIRT) volunteers contributed 33 on -scene hours (including
travel time) in May, responding to crime scenes, motor vehicle accidents and providing traffic control;
no hours were for incidents specifically in Spokane Valley. There were three special events in May;
none were in Spokane Valley. Total May volunteer hours contributed by SIRT, including training,
stand-by, response and special events is 1,120; total for 2018 is 5,471. (Starting January 2018, a
change is being made in how actual hours of `stand-by' time is calculated. Due to the shortage of staff
necessary to cover up to 62 shifts of 24 hours per day per month, a simple formula as used in the past,
no longer reflects the actual time spent on stand-by. Now, we will count each month the actual time
members sign up for duly minus the time actually spent on -scene.)

Scooter Riding Suspect's Attempt to Elude Fails: Spokane Valley Deputies arrested a 21 -year-
old male suspect after he attempted to avoid capture on a 40cc gas -powered scooter. The suspect
dumped the scooter and continued to flee on foot, but was quickly caught and taken into
custody. The male suspect was booked on felony warrants for his arrest, as well as new
charges. In early May, just prior to 1:00 a.m., Spokane Valley Deputy Logan Henry observed a male
sitting in the dark outside of a closed business located in the 100 block of S. Bowdish. As Deputy
Henry drove toward the male, the male jumped onto a motorized scooter and began to flee south on
Bowdish. Deputy Henry activated his emergency lights, but the suspect refused to stop; he then turned
west on the Appleway Trail as additional deputies responded to the area to assist. Deputy Wakem
responded to University and the Appleway Trail in an attempt get ahead of the suspect. When he
arrived in the area, deputies advised the suspect went south on University and possibly turned west on
4th Avenue. Deputy Wakem turned onto 4' and found the male had turned around and was now
approaching the patrol vehicle head-on in the westbound lane of travel. When the suspect observed
the deputy's car, he made a U-turn and continued to try and outrun the patrol vehicle on his
scooter. Deputy Wakem pulled alongside the male suspect, with his emergency lights activated, but
Page 3
the suspect continued to make the poor choice to run. Deputy Wakem pulled ahead of the scooter and
quickly exited the patrol car in time to see the suspect throw the scooter to the ground and run south
across 4th toward a senior center facility and multiple residences. Deputy Wakem told the male suspect
to stop and gave chase. The suspect stopped, turned back toward the deputy and raised his hands up
to his chest in what appeared to be a fighting stance. Deputy Wakem took the male suspect to the
ground and, with the assistance of additional deputies, took the suspect into custody. After advising
the suspect of his rights, he explained he ran because he knew he had warrants for his arrest. A check
of the suspect's name confirmed the arrest warrant(s) for charges of Possession of a Controlled
Substance (2 counts), Possession of a Controlled Substance with Intent to Deliver, Possession of a
Stolen Motor Vehicle and Possessing/Making Motor Theft Tools. The suspect was provided medical
attention prior to being transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for the warrant(s), in
addition to new charges of Attempting to Elude a Police Vehicle and Obstructing. The gas -powered
scooter, a BladeZ 40cc (advertised maximum speed of 35+ mph), was seized and booked into the
property facility as evidence.
Sexual Assault Unit Detectives Charge Suspect with Nine Counts of Possession of Child
Pornography: Spokane Valley Sexual Assault Unit Detective Nate Bohanek arrested and
charged a 47 -year-old male suspect with 10 counts of Possessing Depictions of Minors Engaging
in Sexually Explicit Conduct. This investigation is ongoing and additional charges are
possible. Spokane Valley Sexual Assault Unit Detectives and assisting Major Crimes Unit Detectives
began investigating allegations they had received regarding a male suspect. In late April, Detective
Bohanek and Sergeant Rosenthal met with the suspect and conducted a consensual interview. During
the interview, the male admitted to viewing pornography, but denied possessing child pornography
and stated he would turn his computers over and allow them to be searched. In early May, Detective
Bohanek received notification from a Spokane County Digital Forensic Specialist that videos
depicting minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct were discovered on one of the computers.
Deputy Bohanek requested Spokane Valley Patrol Deputies respond to the male suspect's apartment,
located in the 6000 block of E. 6th Ave., where they contacted and arrested the suspect for Possession
of Depictions of Minors Engaging in Sexually Explicit Conduct. The male suspect was transported to
the Spokane County Jail where Detective Bohanek booked him on eight counts of 1' Degree
Possession of Depictions of Minors Engaging in Sexually Explicit Conduct and one count of 2nd
Degree Possession of Depictions of Minors Engaging in Sexually Explicit Conduct. Additionally,
several thousand still images recovered from the suspect's computer still need to be examined in
conjunction with the ongoing investigation, leading investigators to believe additional charges are
possible.
Neighbors & Detectives Work Together to Address Nuisance Home - 31 Firearms/Meth/ Heroin/
Vehicles Seized: The Spokane Valley Investigative Unit served a search warrant resulting in the arrest
of a 32 -year-old male suspect and his 25 -year-old girlfriend, both convicted felons, for sales and
possession of controlled substances and related charges; 2 of the 31 weapons were found to have been
illegally converted into fully automatic weapons. The investigation of this Chronic Nuisance Property is
a direct result of neighbors in the area reporting criminal/suspicious activity and working with Spokane
Valley Police to achieve this successful outcome. In mid-May, Spokane Valley Investigative Unit (SVIU)
Detectives and Patrol Deputies executed a search warrant at a residence located in the 10700 block of E. 29th in
Spokane Valley. SVIU obtained the search warrant after receiving numerous calls from neighbors in the area
reporting suspicious/drug related and other suspected criminal activity. The 22 incidents reported since the
beginning of February 2018 were analyzed and an investigation was initiated. The information gained from
citizens was combined with information received from Patrol Deputies and SVIU surveillance operations which
Page 4
quickly led to SVIU Detective Jeff Thurman establishing probable cause to obtain the search warrant. At the
residence, detectives located and seized Methamphetamine, Heroin, Suboxone, various prescription
medications, scales, ledgers, syringes, stolen checks/identification and 31 firearms (17 rifles -2 were illegally
converted to fire full automatic, 11 pistols and 3 shotguns). They also seized two vehicles and over $700 in
cash. Investigators believe some of the firearms are stolen and are working to determine ownership/identity
and who made the illegal modifications as well as any additional victims related to this ongoing
investigation. Additional charges are expected. The suspects were arrested and booked into the Spokane
County Jail; the male was charged with Delivery of a Controlled Substance (5 counts), Possession of a
Controlled Substance (PCS) with Intent to Deliver -Methamphetamine (1 count), PCS with Intent -Heroin

PCS with Intent -Methamphetamine (1 count), PCS with Intent -Heroin (2 counts), PCS with Intent Suboxone
(1 count), PCS Hydrocodone (2 counts), PCS Zolpidem (1 count), PCS Alprazolam (1 count), Unlawful Use of

Suspect Surrenders after K9 Enzo Announces Himself: Spokane Valley Deputies, responding
to a person with a weapons call, learned the suspect was last seen hiding in a neighboring
trailer. The trailer was surrounded and announcements to
surrender were given, and ignored, until K9 Enzo announced
his presence. In mid-May, prior to 6:00 p.m., Spokane Valley
Deputies responded to a reported male, possibly armed with a
knife, and a female arguing. When deputies arrived, they learned
the 48 -year-old male suspect had assaulted his girlfriend and
fought with another male at the location who tried to assist. A
check of the suspect's name revealed an active felony Washington
State Department of Corrections (DOC) warrant for his
arrest. Deputies also learned the suspect ran into a neighboring
trailer without consent and told the residents they needed to hide
him because he was fighting with his girlfriend and the police
were coming. The occupants of the trailer told the suspect to
leave, but he refused. They confirmed he was still inside without
permission, but they did not want to pursue charges. With the
information that the suspect was assaultive, possibly armed and
refusing to exit the trailer, Deputy McNall began drafting a search
warrant and the SWAT Team was called out to assist. Once at the
Page 5
scene, Deputy Pfeifer and his partner K9 Enzo took a position near the front door of the residence. As
announcements advising the male suspect to surrender continued, Deputy Pfeifer gave a K9 warning
advising the male that K9 Enzo would be used to find him and when found, he could be bitten. Deputy
Pfeifer gave K9 Enzo a bark command causing K9 Enzo to firmly and loudly announce his
presence. A few monuments later, the male suspect appeared in the doorway and surrendered. The
SWAT Team response was cancelled and the suspect received medical treatment for injuries he
sustained earlier during the initial fight. The male suspect was later booked into the Spokane County
Jail for the felony DOC warrant. He faces new charges of Assault 4th Degree (DV) and Obstructing
Law Enforcement in conjunction with this incident.
Wanted Driver Arrested; Heroin, Meth, Cash and Vehicle Seized: Spokane Valley Deputies seize
approximately one ounce of heroin, meth, pills, digital scales, $736 and a 2000 Acura during a
traffic stop where the driver had an active felony warrant for his arrest. In addition to the
warrant, the 37 -year-old male driver was arrested for possession of a controlled substance with
intent to deliver. In mid-May at approximately 12:30 a.m., Spokane Valley Deputy Thomas Walton
checked the license plate of the vehicle in front of him while patrolling North Argonne. The return on.
the Acura's license plate showed the registered owner had a felony warrant for his arrest. Deputy
Walton conducted a traffic stop and contacted the driver. The Washington State Department of
Corrections warrant was confirmed and driver/suspect was told he was under arrest. As the male
suspect exited the vehicle, Deputy Walton observed a clear plastic baggie containing a dark substance
on the driver's side floor that he believed to be heroin. During a search of the male, incident to his
arrest, Deputy Walton located a glass pipe commonly used to smoke controlled substances in the
suspect's pants pocket and $736 in cash in his wallet. Believing there was additional contraband in
the vehicle, Deputy Walton asked the suspect for consent to search. Deputy Walton advised the
suspect he planned to seek a search warrant after he declined and the suspect stated, "I got something
in the car." He went on to admit having almost an ounce of heroin in the vehicle. With consent, the
vehicle was searched and substances believed to be heroin and methamphetamine were
recovered. The substances were later field tested and showed a presumptive positive result for heroin
and methamphetamine. Additionally, digital scales and several pills, believed to be Hydrocodone,
were recovered. After being advised of his rights, the male suspect admitted he was addicted to heroin
and sold it to support his addiction. The drugs, paraphernalia, cash and the Acura were seized. The
male suspect was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for Possession of a Controlled
Substance with Intent to Deliver and for the felony warrant. The Spokane Valley Investigative Unit
was advised and will continue the investigation, which could result in additional charges in the
future.
K9 Bane Concludes Search for Fleeing Driver: After a driver failed to stop for a Spokane Valley
Deputy, he attempted to flee on foot when he drove down what ended up being a dead-end road;
Deputy Hilton and K9 Bane located him attempting to hide in a building. In late May, at
approximately 2:55 a.m., Spokane Valley Deputy James Wang observed a vehicle fail to signal as it
turned from Mission onto Vercler. Deputy Wang followed the vehicle turning onto Vercler where the
30 -year-old male driver made a U-turn, went back to Mission and turned east. Deputy Wang activated
his emergency lights to conduct a traffic stop, but instead of pulling over, the suspect accelerated at a
high rate of speed. The suspect continued to drive recklessly and erratically as he tried to evade until
he turned north on Wilbur from Mission, which comes to a dead end. The male suspect bailed out and
ran north on a dirt path. He climbed over a fence, ran across 1-90 and then east through business
parking lots. Deputy Wang notified the additional responding units who quickly established a
Page 6
perimeter around the fenced Washington State Department of Transportation where the suspect was
last seen fleeing. Several K9 announcements advising the male suspect to surrender went unanswered.
With the assistance of WSP Troopers and Sheriff's Deputies, Deputy Hilton, with his partner K9 Bane,
began a search for the male suspect inside the fenced area. K9 Bane led deputies around a large gravel
pile, to a large wash bay and alerted on a set of doors to a building. Deputy Hilton gave several more
K9 announcements advising the suspect that they knew he was inside the building and he was under
arrest. The male suspect was ordered to exit the building, but he did not respond or surrender. When
Sergeant Simmons and Deputy McNall attempted to open the doors, they opened slightly, but then
slammed shut. Believing the male suspect was physically holding the doors preventing them from
being opened, Deputy Turner responded with some tools to assist. Eventually, without the tools, the
doors were pulled open. The male suspect, holding a large object in his hands, backed away further
into the building, behind some barrels and did not follow commands. Deputy Hilton release K9 Bane
who quickly made contact with the suspect, causing him to fall to the ground. The male suspect was
given commands to show his hands and was quickly taken into custody after it was confirmed he
wasn't armed. The suspect was provided medical attention prior to being transported and booked into
the Spokane County Jail. While the search of the male suspect was conducted, Deputy Wang
contacted the adult female passenger who stayed in the vehicle. She explained the male suspect was
giving her a ride home when Deputy Wang attempted to stop the vehicle. She yelled at him several
times to stop and let her get out of the vehicle after he began to flee, but he refused stating that he
wasn't going back to j ail. The male suspect stated he didn't understand his rights and refused to answer
any questions. He was booked into jail for Attempting to Elude a Police Vehicle, Unlawful
Imprisonment, Burglary 2nd Degree, Resisting Arrest, Obstructing and Driving while
Suspended/Revoked where his bond was set at $50,000.
REMINDER: Criminals Look for Any Opportunity to Steal YOUR Valuables - Keep YOUR
Valuables Safe, Not in Your Car: As nice warm weather approaches and the school year comes
to an end, it's a wonderful opportunity to get outside and enjoy our parks, trails and
waterways. Criminals know and understand this but they see a completely different
opportunity, an opportunity to steal your valuables. Every spring/summer our local predatory
criminals are also attracted to our parks, boat launches, and trailheads, not to enjoy them, but simply
because they know everyone else will be. They know people will leave their cars parked and
unattended, probably for several hours while they're out having fun, hiking, boating, and enjoying our
beautiful scenery. They also know the odds are high that several of these parked cars will become
their treasure-troves with electronics/wallets/purses/money/credit cards/ID and other valuables sitting
in plain sight or somewhat hidden under a seat, towel or "secured" in a glovebox. These criminals
are looking for any opportunity, a mere few seconds, to steal your valuables. The Spokane Valley
Police Department and the Spokane County Sheriff's Office are asking for your help stopping property
crimes by eliminating their opportunity. PLEASE, if at all possible, leave your valuables at
home. If not, be sure to secure them in your trunk, out of sight or take them with you. Even the best,
most fun, and memorable outing, can be smashed by thieves who took the opportunity to steal your
valuables.

31'd Annual SWAT Team Fund "Razor" Efforts Helpful: The Spokane County Sheriff's Office
SWAT Team Member's Fund "Razor" efforts raised over $5,600 for Sally's House this
year. This is the third year the SWAT Team has raised funds to help Sally's House, a well
deserving emergency receiving facility for children (2-12 years of age), who have been removed
from their home due to abuse, neglect, abandonment or criminal activity. In May, Spokane
County Sheriffs Office SWAT Team Members took some time away from training to visit with the
children and staff at Sally's House. They also presented a check for $5,635, which was a result of
their 3rd Annual Fund "Razor" efforts. The Fund "Razor" evolved from the SWAT Team deciding
three years ago they wanted to give back as a
team to the community they serve. Something to
help others outside their chosen careers;
something as SWAT Team Members usually do,
to go above and beyond. The first year, the team
donated money personally and accumulated
$1,000 to donate. They choose Sally's House
because they are very aware of the great work
they do helping children in our community and
they also know even a small donation can be a
big help. The second year, wanting to do more,
the idea grew and the Fund "Razor" event
emerged, leading to a fun way to get others
involved. The Fund "Razor" became an event
where Lt. Jay McNall and Sgt. Mike Zollars
volunteered to shave their beloved mustaches as motivation for team members to sell raffle
tickets. The team, now curious of how the Lt. and Sgt. would look, were motivated to say the least. As
the word spread, it seemed several people in and around the Spokane County Campus, family and
friends also had the same curiosity. In 2017, the SWAT Team donated $3,500 to Sally's House. This
year, inspired by their efforts, the Fund "Razor" raffle brought the entire team's fashionable hair styles
into play. They asked the supporters to vote and select a team member who would win a free
opportunity to shave their head completely bald, in addition to their donation. The Fund "Razor's"
popular vote revealed Sgt. Whapeles as the winner and the SWAT Teams efforts raised $5,635 for
Sally's House. This is truly what being a "Cop" really is, despite what some would lead you to
believe. Giving back, helping others, strengthening community and doing so, not because it's
expected or a job, but doing so because it's a desire. Thank you SWAT Team for your willingness to
also be there no matter the need, regardless of the situation, and despite the danger.
By Popular Vote: Sergeant Whapeles Wins!
