Manager Gloria Mantz,Engineering Manager Christine Bainbridge, City Clerk Mayor Higgins called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. ROLL CALL: City Clerk Bainbridge called the roll; all Councilmembers were present. APPROVAL OF AGENDA: It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded, and unanimously agreed to approve the agenda. ACTION ITEMS: 1. Motion Consideration: Bid Award, Knox Sidewalk, Hutchinson to Sargent—Gloria Mantz It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded to award the Knox Sidewalk Project CIF #0279 to N.A. Degerstrom in the amount of$375,985.15 and authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the construction agreement. After Ms. Mantz explained the project and the bid, Mayor Higgins invited public comments.No public comments were offered. Vote by acclamation:In favor: unanimous. Opposed; none. Motion carried. NON-ACTION ITEMS: 2. Crisis Co-response Team report— Chief Werner, Deputy Morvan; Mental Health Professional Holly Keller; Frontier Behavioral Heath Chief Operating Officer Jan Dobbs Police Chief Werner explained that this response team is made possible through grant funds from the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs Association, and he turned the floor over to Deputy Moman who introduced Holly Keller and Jan Dobbs,who each then talked a little about their background. Deputy Morvan went through the PowerPoint presentation explaining the mission of the team, and that the grant funds pay Ms. Keller's salary; he mentioned how the team differs in response from a regular patrol officer in response time,hospital time,and how they handle frequent users of emergency services;he talked about training, resources, the relatively new `Extreme Risk Protection Order,' and that the team collects and uses data to show outcomes; he explained about peak days and times; and showed a chart of suicide calls by the hour and by the weekday over a twenty-two month period; said of the 265 contacts to date, 87% went to diversion, about 12% were emergency detentions, and only 1.1% were arrested; said they use no force on contacts beyond hand-cuffing and soft restraints. Officer Morvan also noted that the work done by this team saves other officer patrol time, and relieves officers to remain on the street. Deputy Moman said that community feedback from individuals, community resources, and hospitals has been very positive. Ms. Dobbs said this program is very cutting-edge in the area of interventions as it gives the team, which includes a mental health professional, the ability to interact with people at the moment and height of the crisis. She also mentioned that Frontier Behavioral Health has the resources to deal with substance abuse Council Study Session: 04-16-2019 Page 1 of 3 Approved by Council: 05-14-2019 and provide immediate access to out-patient assistance, and to evaluate and treat; and that they are not just an interaction but a tangible resource and someone to work with the person in crisis to get them stabilized. Council thanked the team for an informative report. 3. Federal Legislative Agenda—Cary Driskell,John Hohman City Attorney Driskell introduced Mr. Bennett Resnick of Cardinal Infrastructure, our federal lobbyist in Washington,D.C. Mr.Driskell gave a brief recap of the purpose of the federal legislative agenda, as noted in his April 16, 2019 Request for Council Action form, and then turned the meeting over to Mr. Resnick, who explained that the focus of his company is transportation, infrastructure, and economic development issues,and about the various types of federal grants available.As discussion turned to the items on the draft federal legislative agenda and of the information on the four handouts, Deputy Mayor Haley asked if the percentage of the funding request is feasible. Mr. Resnick explained that the funding depends on the program;that the percentages are fairly high in terms of federal dollars,but the federal government can ask that more dollars get funded for these types of projects, and said based on that, these numbers are in line with our eligibility. The question of funding for urban versus rural was briefly discussed and Mr.Resnick said the process is complicated, but it is an attempt by Congress to balance the funding. Councilmember Thompson asked if having a school involved in a transportation project would be helpful and Mr. Resnick said having multiple stakeholders is always a benefit. Councilmember Wick noted that the project is listed and then the total funding dollars listed, and he asked if perhaps instead of putting down the cost of the project, we should rather put down the amount of the request. Mr. Hohman noted that was implemented on the handouts, and said he thinks we should implement that suggestion on the agenda as well. Councilmember Wick also questioned why we are including so many projects instead of just the top two. Mr. Hohman noted instead of focusing on one project at a time, we are trying to assemble as much state and local funding as we can on some of the other projects; that the idea is to focus on Pines as the priority then work on the others. City Attorney Driskell added that this is Council's federal legislative agenda, but staff's suggestion is to identify four projects which are significant transportation issues as it is valuable to include them on the agenda so as we move to get funding on the first few,we aren't starting on ground zero with the others; and Mr. Hohman stated that we included multiple projects at the urging of Cardinal. Mr. Resnick agreed it is prudent to have several projects to apply for and having a fairly robust list of projects gives direction to the congressional delegation of what's to come and what to expect in the next few years. Councilmember Woodard said that he likes the agenda with all the projects;that this is an education process and we will be competing against some monster projects through Spokane Regional Transportation Council and we have to start educating them too; said he feels we can't start too early;that we should push hard for the top two but start educating people on what's to come. Mr. Resnick said it is good to have a list of projects;that he is not sure what Congress will do and we want to be prepared in case they ask for priorities; we want them to be educated on the projects. There was Council consensus to move this legislative agenda forward, and Mr, Driskell said this will be brought to Council again in a few weeks for a motion consideration. 4. Comprehensive Plan Amendments—Lori Barlow,Mike Basinger Economic Development Manager Basinger explained tonight he will go over the ten comp plan amendments,three of which are privately initiated; and that he will explain the City initiated amendments, and Ms. Barlow will go over the site specific amendments. At the request of Mayor Higgins, Ms.Barlow started by explaining privately initiated map amendment CPA 2019-0001,a request from Mr.Danny Davis, owner of Circle J Mobile Home Park, to change the land use designation from industrial to single family residential,and the zoning from industrial to Single Family Residential Urban(R-3);she explained the area is 300' south of the intersection of Park Road and Broadway Avenue; she mentioned the existing and proposed transitional regulations; said there were no substantive agency comments but public comments included impacts to industrial area, incompatible uses, and limiting future development; she noted the comparison of development standards in the industrial and R-3 zone; and said the Planning Commission voted five to zero to recommend denial of this request. Ms. Barlow then went through the remaining Council Study Session: 04-16-2019 Page 2 of 3 Approved by Council: 05-14-2019 privately initiated map amendments as noted in her PowerPoint. Mr. Basinger said although we are not asking for any action tonight, for purposes of drafting the ordinance, he asked for Council's view on these proposed amendments. After some discussion on various options, City Attorney Driskell suggested going with the Planning Commission recommendations on the amendments, and for the amendment where there was no recommendation due to a split vote, after further discussion it was determined to go with the staff recommendation for the ordinance. Mr. Driskell noted as these amendments started prior to the Council's change in their Governance Manual concerning not taking further comments on issues once a public hearing has been closed,that Council had agreed to hear public comments on these issues for the first reading only; adding that by keeping the proposed change with the three-to-three split, that too would permit public comment; and said the public is expecting to be able to comment on these; however in moving forward after these amendments, comments will not be taken on issues once a public hearing has been closed. Mr. Basinger then explained the City-initiated text amendments as included in the PowerPoint, and as he noted, are also included in the yellow notebook,along with the remaining of the comp plan documentation. Council agreed to move these forward as suggested. 5. Community Economic Revitalization Board(CERB)Planning Grant—Mike Basinger After Economic Development Manager Basinger went through his PowerPoint explaining about the grant opportunity including the funding request, city match, and scope of work for improvements along the Appleway Trail corridor,there was Council consensus for staff to move forward and apply for the grant. 6. Advance Agenda—Mayor Higgins There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda. 7. Council Check-in—Mayor Higgins Councilmember Thompson mentioned Spokane Regional Opioid Task Force upcoming meeting on May 7, from 5-8 pm, entitled "A Community Connected" which will address the opioid crisis, and said she has placed some information handouts on the side counter. 8. Deputy City Manager Comments—John Hohman Regarding the earlier mention of only having six planning commissioners, Deputy City Manager Hallman explained that we don't have an actual vacancy, but one of the commissioners is having health issues, and said it would be prudent to look for a temporary commissioner, and there was consensus among Councilmembers to begin that process. Mr. Hohman also noted the upcoming two public meetings this Thursday regarding the Pines Grade Separation Project, one meeting at noon here, and the other 5:30 at CenterPlace; he said the purpose is to get public input on the alternatives,and then to bring that information to Council later in May. 9. Executive Session: Review the Performance of a Public Employee [RCW 42.30.110(1)(g)1 It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn into executive session for approximately sixth minutes to review the performance of a public employee, and that no action will be taken upon return to open session. Council adjourned into executive session at 8:07 p.m. At 9:02 p.m. Mayor Higgins declared Council out of executive session, at which time it was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn.
