City Manager's Budget Message
2020 Annual Budget
Dear Citizens, Mayor and City Council of Spokane Valley:
It is with pleasure that I present the 2020 Budget for the City of Spokane Valley and to report that
the City continues to remain financially strong as a result of a long history of prudent financial
decisions dating back to our 2003 incorporation. Consistently responsible budgeting and
restrained spending have again helped us achieve the key Fiscal Policies noted in the following
pages.
The City of Spokane Valley continues to be an excellent example of how a City provides key
services to the community while holding down taxes, fees and other charges. Additionally, our
per capita employee count and personnel expenses are among the lowest (if not the lowest) of
comparable size cities in the state and around the U.S.
We recognize that to ensure continued financial stability, it is imperative that we achieve two key
goals within our General Fund:
1. Recurring annual revenues must be greater than or equal to recurring annual expenditures,
and
2. The ending General Fund fund balance must be sufficient enough to meet cash flow needs
which is no less than 50% of recurring expenditures and represents roughly six months of
General Fund operations.
I am pleased to report that each of these goals have again been achieved in the 2020 General
Fund Budget.
Beyond recurring operating activity, and due to our exceptionally strong financial position, we
have been afforded the opportunity to use the portion of the General Fund fund balance that
exceeds 50% for capital construction expenditures that are important to the City Council and
Community. Since 2013, City Councils have made the decision to transfer$27.8 million of excess
General Fund reserves to partially finance a variety of projects including each phase of the
Appleway Trail, Sullivan Road West Bridge Replacement, Appleway Avenue Landscaping,
construction of a new City Hall, the future Barker/BNSF Grade Separation Project, and beginning
to set money aside for the Pines/BNSF Grade Separation Project, Barker Corridor Project and
development of Balfour Park.

Fiscal Policies
Fiscal Health is at the Core of Providing a Good Public Service
The Fiscal Policies adopted by the City Council are important for the long-range fiscal strength of
Spokane Valley. These policies set a framework that the City will follow to responsibly manage
resources and if necessary, under what circumstances we will utilize reserves to sustain
operations during economic downturns.
Financial Management
The City will strive to:
1. Maintain basic service levels with minimal resources to achieve success.
2. Minimize personnel costs and overhead by continuing to contract for services when it makes
financial sense to do so.
3. Continue the six-year Business Plan process.
4. Leverage City funds with grant opportunities.
5. Minimize City debt with a pay as you go philosophy.
o The State of Washington sets the maximum level of allowable debt for cities based on
assessed value of property. The City of Spokane Valley carries an exceptionally low debt
burden and currently utilizes only 1.75% of its total debt capacity, and more importantly,
only 8.75% of non-voted bond capacity.
6. Strive to prioritize spending in the annual budget process and minimize the mid-year addition
of projects and appropriations.
Financial Objectives
The City's financial objectives are:
1. Adopt a General Fund Budget with recurring revenues equal to, or greater than recurring
expenditures.
2. Maintain a minimum General Fund Ending Fund Balance of at least 50% of the recurring
expenditure budget. This is adequate to meet cash flow needs and is the equivalent of six
months of general fund operations.
3. If necessary, utilize a portion of the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 ($5.5
million) to maintain ending fund balance minimum.
4. Commitment to the strategy that the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 will not
be reduced below $3.3 million (60% of$5.5 million).
5. Maintain the 2020 property tax assessment the same as 2019 with the exception of new
construction. As in the previous ten years, the City will forego the one-percent annual increase
to property tax allowable by RCW 84.52.050. We anticipate this will result in a levy of
$12,182,400 plus estimated new construction of$250,000 for a total levy of$12,432,400. The
allowable potential increase will be banked for future use as provided by law. This represents
the eleventh consecutive year that we have not increased our City property tax
assessment.
6. Grow our economy so the existing tax base can support basic programs.
Commitment—By committing to these policies and the checks and balances they afford, the City
will ensure financial sustainability well into the future.

2020 Budget Highlights
City Priorities
The City's chief budget priorities are:
• Public Safety
• Pavement Preservation
• Transportation and Infrastructure (including railroad grade separations and park related
projects), and
• Economic Development
Ensuring that we've committed adequate resources to these activities accounts for much of the
effort that Council and Staff collectively dedicate to the annual development of our Business Plan
and Operating and Capital budgets.
Moderate Growth in Recurring General Fund Expenditures
Investing in essential core services identified by the Council and Community establishes the
baseline expenditures we have included in this budget. Similar to the trend experienced in most
jurisdictions, we find that the cost of providing these services often increases at a faster rate than
the moderate growth we see in the underlying tax revenues that support these core services.
With that said however, City staff and Council collectively strive to meet the challenge of
continuing to provide historic levels of service and we will again meet this challenge in 2020 where
we anticipate recurring revenues will increase over those of 2019 by 6.12%, while expenditures
increase by just 3.00%. The 3.00% increase in expenditures reflects service level expansions
including the addition of 1.50 full-time equivalent employee positions that will bolster our code
compliance efforts as well as a $100,000 investment in a crisis co-response team in our police
department.
Increases at the point of budget adoption over the past 7-years have been:
Recurring
Revenues Expenditures
2020 compared to 2019 6.12% 3.00%
2019 compared to 2018 5.56% 1.90%
2018 compared to 2017 3.73% 1.81%
2017 compared to 2016 4.38% 0.87%
2016 compared to 2015 3.08% 2.79%
2015 compared to 2014 2.72% 3.90%
2014 compared to 2013 4.39% 4.28%
Public Safety Costs
Over the years Council has consistently committed to the maintenance and at times enhancement
of public safety service levels and this is again reflected in the 2020 Budget where public safety
costs including law enforcement, courts, prosecution, public defense and jail related services total
$26,599,214 which is an amount equal to 214% of anticipated property tax collections (=
$26,599,214/ $12,432,400). The 2020 Budget includes the addition of a $100,000 investment in
a crisis co-response team that will pair a police officer with a behavioral health specialist whose
focus will include responding to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The intent of
the team is to reduce or eliminate involvement and recidivism in the criminal justice system by
3
working with afflicted individuals through relationship building, providing a better continuity of care
and improved case planning.
Staffing Levels
The full time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase by 1.50 from 93.75 in 2019 to 95.25
in 2020. This includes adding a second 1.0 FTE Code Enforcement Officer whose efforts will be
focused on code compliance, which will necessitate increasing an existing .5 FTE Attorney
position to 1.0 FTE to accommodate the increased workload. With these additions the City will
have a total of 3.0 FTEs dedicated to addressing code compliance issues.
The FTE count allocated among City funds is as follows:
Difference
2020 2020 Between
2019 Staff New 2020 2019 and
Budget Reallocation Positions Budget 2020
General Fund #001 74.03 0.25 1.50 75.78 1.75
Street O&M Fund#101 7.72 (0.25) 0.00 7.47 (0.25)
Street Capital Projects Fund#303 8.10 0.00 0.00 8.10 0.00
Stormwater Fund#402 3.90 0.00 0.00 3.90 0.00
93.75 0.00 1.50 95.25 1.50
The personnel costs for the 75.78 FTEs charged to the General Fund represent just 21.2% of
recurring expenditures.
Taking into consideration that we contract for police services and are served by Fire and Water
districts as well as a Library District, for a major city we operate substantially below the normal
employee count and consequently at a significantly reduced payroll cost relative to many cities
across the country. Spokane Valley staff levels average about one employee for every 1,047
citizens (= population of 99,703 per the Census Bureau / 95.25 FTEs) while comparably sized
cities in the State of Washington have a much higher ratio of employees to citizens.
Since incorporation, the City has taken a conservative approach to adding new staff and continues
to have the lowest per capita employee count of any Washington city with a population of 50,000
or greater. By all comparisons, the City of Spokane Valley is a lean, productive City government.
Pavement Preservation
Beginning in 2012, the City initiated spending of general fund, special revenue fund and capital
project fund revenues and reserves for the purpose of financing our street preservation efforts.
In 2020, our community will again see an aggressive program of repaving our roadways. Some
may question paving roads that"don't look so bad" but the truth is the best time to repave is before
a road deteriorates to the point that full reconstruction is necessary. Full reconstruction costs
substantially more than pavement preservation treatments such as crack sealing or grinding and
repaving and this is why the City has committed critical financial resources to the preservation of
our transportation infrastructure. We're proud of our fine road system and will endeavor to
continue to maintain it in the best manner possible with available financial resources.
4
For 2020, we project total revenues in Pavement Preservation Fund #311 of $4,037,888 that
combined with $229,635 of fund reserves will be applied against $4,267,523 in projected
expenditures. Sources of revenue in 2020 include $10,588 in grant proceeds, $1,500,000 from
the Street Wear fee that was adopted by Council in 2018, and $2,527,300 in transfers from other
City funds consisting of:
• $982,023 from the General Fund
• $772,639 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
• $772,638 from REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
While Pavement Preservation is one of our critical service and budget priorities we find that
sustaining adequate levels is a constant challenge and I address this in the portion of this budget
message titled "Challenges".
Transportation and Infrastructure
The 2020 Budget includes $28,594,710 of capital expenditures that we anticipate will be in-part
offset with $19,897,385 in grant revenues which results in 69.58% of capital projects being
financed with State and Federal dollars. The projects we'll work on in 2020 include:
• $8.3 million in Street Capital Projects Fund #303
• $1.5 million in Park Capital Projects Fund #309
• $4.3 million in Pavement Preservation Fund #311
• $13.0 million in Grade Separation Projects Fund #314
• $1.2 million in Stormwater Fund #402 and Aquifer Protection Area Fund #403
• $265,000 in Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund#501 for the acquisition of a snow plow
and a vehicle for the additional 1.0 FTE code enforcement officer noted above in the section
titled "Staffing Levels".
Challenges
Beyond the annual challenge of balancing the General Fund budget, the City of Spokane Valley
has a number of on-going financial challenges.
1. Declining revenues in Street O&M Fund #101 that will impact our future ability to deliver
historic service levels
This Fund depends upon a combination of gas and telephone tax receipts.
• Because the gas tax is a flat amount per gallon, and because each generation of newer
vehicles get better gas mileage, we find our gas tax revenues have recently hovered
somewhere between flat or declining. Due to the 2015 State Legislature's increase in the
gas tax we've seen a bit of an increase in this revenue source with a 2020 revenue
projection of $2,046,700 which represents an increase of $111,700 (or 5.8%) over 2015
revenues of$1,935,000.
• The 6% telephone utility tax generated $3,050,000 million in the first year of collections in
2009. Since that time however we have experienced a decline averaging 5.37% per year
and at this point are projecting 2020 revenues of just $1,521,000 which is half of the 2009
collections. We believe the decline is primarily due to the elimination of land lines by
individual households.
• Because of the ongoing decline in telephone utility tax revenues, 2020 will be the fourth
consecutive year of budgeted recurring expenditures exceeding recurring revenues.
• We have been able to continue to deliver historic levels of service in the previous 3-years
by doing the following:
5
o 2017- a $328,000 operating deficit was resolved by drawing down fund reserves.
o 2018 - a $415,000 operating deficit was resolved by drawing down fund reserves.
o 2019 - a $907,000 operating deficit was resolved through a transfer from Capital
Reserve Fund #312. This is a noteworthy departure from the historic intended use of
these monies which has been for one-time capital projects.
• At the June 11, 2019 Budget Workshop, Council discussed the fact that Street O&M Fund
recurring revenues were again substantially exceeded by recurring expenditures but
expressed their interest in continuing to deliver historic service levels. At the July 16, 2019
Council meeting, Council reached consensus to again resolve the funding imbalance with
a one-time transfer during 2020 of Capital Reserve Fund #312 money. The necessary
transfer is $1,364,706 and this is reflected in both Fund numbers 101 and 312.
• Determining "how" to fully finance Street O&M Fund#101 beyond 2020 will continue to be
a Council conversation.
2. Balancing the cost of pavement preservation against other transportation and infrastructure
needs
• Pavement preservation has historically been financed from a combination of sources
including:
o General Fund dollars,
o Street O&M Fund dollars,
o Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123 (Fund #123) reserves that were dedicated
towards this purpose until their depletion in 2016.
o Real estate excise tax (REET) revenues,
o Grant revenues, and
o Beginning in 2018, the addition of a street wear fee that was negotiated by the City as
part of an updated solid waste collection contract that recognized the damage that
heavily laden garbage trucks do to our road system.

• The City used the Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123 reserves over the 4-year period
2013 through 2016 in order to give the City time to determine how best to finance the
pavement preservation plan in 2017 and beyond.
6
• Heavy reliance on REET revenues began in 2017 following the depletion of Fund #123
reserves.
• Although we continue to exist in a robust economy with strong REET collections, we
realize that as the economy wanes in the future, so too will REET revenues. As a
consequence, overly relying on REET revenues may in the future limit the City's ability to
provide the necessary match needed for State and Federal grants that are applied to other
street construction and reconstruction projects.
• Over the past 10-12 years Spokane Valley has struggled to develop a pavement
management plan that clearly delineates the pavement condition index (PCI) that should
be maintained throughout our road system and define the amount of money we should
dedicate annually to achieve that plan.
• Our most recent study delivered to Council on April 2, 2019 divided costs between the
local access, collector and arterial portions of our street network and suggests the annual
cost is $10 million and that this would be sufficient to cover the needs of both Street O&M
Fund #101 and Pavement Preservation Fund #311.
• Even though the City's investment in our street network has consistently fallen short of
that figure however we find that the PCI is not in a free fall and is in fact holding fairly
steady ata rating of 71.
• We continues to evaluate our pavement management plan with the intent of further
refining the PCI across local access, collectors and arterials, and formulating a more
realistic cost to maintain these.
• Following that, Council and Staff will work collectively to determine how to finance the
plan.
3. Railroad Grade Separation Projects (overpasses and underpasses)
Bridging the Valley is a proposal to separate vehicle traffic from train traffic in the 42 mile
corridor between Spokane and Athol, ID. The separation of railroad and roadway grades in
this corridor is intended to promote future economic growth, traffic movement, traffic safety,
aquifer protection in the event of an oil spill, and train whistle noise abatement. The underlying
study outlined the need for a grade separation at four locations in Spokane Valley.
• Barker and Trent Road Overpass (fully funded at $24.7 million),
• Pines and Trent Underpass (estimated cost of$29.0 million),
• Sullivan Road Overpass improvements, and
• Park Road Overpass
Because grade separation projects are exceptionally expensive endeavors and largely
beyond our ability to finance solely through existing sources of internal revenue, the City has
pursued grant funding from both the Federal and State Government over the past several
years.
Barker/Trent Grade Separation Project
We reached the point of being fully funded for this project in early 2018, the final design is
nearing completion and we have entered into the right-of-way acquisition phase. The
construction phase will begin no later than 2020. Revenue sources are comprised of the
following:
Barker Grade Separation Project Financing Sources
City of Spokane Valley
General Fund reserves $ 1,421,000
Real Estate Excise Tax(REET) 2,209,000
Total from Spokane Valley $ 3,630,000
Federal Earmark 721,000
2017 WA Legislature appropriation 1,500,000
National Highway Freight Program 6,000,000
TIGER 9 9,020,000
FMSIB (20% of total)
(assume $19.0 million) 3,800,000
$ 24,671,000
Pines / Trent Grade Separation Proiect
Progress to date includes:
• We anticipate the project cost will be $29.0 million and thus far we have secured $7.8
million including $4.7 million set aside by the City. Additionally, there exists an inactive
Freight Mobility Strategic investment Board (FMSIB) grant in the amount of$3.36 million.

• In late 2016 the City acquired property valued at approximately$500,000 that was applied
to the acquisition of property that will in-part satisfy the right-of-way needs for this project.
• On July 11, 2017 Council approved a Phase 1 contract with an engineering firm valued at
$124,000 with a scope of services that called for evaluating two potential sites, each of
which included a roundabout and signalized intersection alternative.
8
• Staff presented subsequent reports to Council that provided design progress updates on
October 17, 2017, December 13, 2018 and June 4, 2019.
• A total of five public outreach meetings were held between October 2017 and May 2019
to seek input on the design alternatives.
• Input was sought from a variety of stakeholders including BNSF, the Spokane Valley
Police Department, Spokane Valley Fire Department, East Valley School District, the
Fourth District Legislative Delegation and freight industry representatives.
• On June 18, 2019 Council approved a design alternative that moves the intersection to
the east of the current location with a roundabout as intersection control.
• In early June 2019 the City was awarded a Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety
Improvements (CRISI) grant in the amount of $1,246,500, the proceeds of which can be
applied towards the design phase.
• Staff are currently in the process of finalizing the CRISI grant documents and once these
are complete we will begin negotiations with an engineering firm to begin the final design
phase.
• Future property acquisitions will be necessary during the right-of-way phase of the project
but this cannot be determined until the final phase of the design is well underway.
• The City has applied for a variety of both state and federal grants including the TIGER,
FASTLANE , INFRA and CRISI programs and we currently have a BUILD application in
the amount of$17.4 million outstanding.
• We will continue to apply for grant programs as they become available. We are hopeful
that having a 100% design will make us more competitive as we will then have a "shovel
ready" project.
Economic Development
To the best of our ability we focus on business retention and expansion of existing businesses
and recruitment of new businesses. Examples of ongoing and future economic development
efforts are as follows:
Comprehensive Plan — In the latter part of 2016 the City updated its Comprehensive Plan and
included an economic development element. Contained within this element is a summary of the
local economy; an assessment of strengths and weaknesses; and policies, programs and projects
to foster economic growth. The plan also included implementation strategies to improve retail,
enhance tourism, and grow businesses in the City. Among other things, the plan also streamlined
land uses by consolidating many zones and reducing many development requirements.
Additionally the plan was also designed to provide flexibility in an effort to encourage market
driven growth.
Retail Recruitment—In 2017 the City expanded into the area of Retail Recruitment by contracting
with a firm specializing in this type of service. The services we are seeking in this effort include
a review of the retail recruitment strategy; conducting a market and retail gap analysis;
development of a recruitment plan; identification of a strategic retail prospect list; and recruitment
of retail on behalf of the City. We have again included money in the 2020 Budget to continue this
effort.
WA State Department of Commerce Environmental Permitting Grant — In the latter part of
2016 the City received a$114,200 grant from the Department of Commerce that with an additional
investment of$55,000 from the City, that has resulted in a streamlined environmental permitting
9
process in the northeast industrial area of our community. This study completed the
environmental permitting requirements for the northeast industrial area which lead to the
development of a Planned Action Ordinance (PAO) adopted by Council March 12, 2019. The
PAO will save industrial developers a minimum of 6 weeks permitting time while providing a
predictable path to ensure that adequate infrastructure is in place to serve the expected
developments and as a result of the PAO properties can now be marketed as truly"shovel ready".
Northeast Industrial Area— In addition to the adoption of the Planned Action Ordinance the City
engaged in 2 capital projects in our Northeast Industrial Area in 2019 that will expand and improve
our infrastructure and have the dual benefit of improving our road system and making the area
more attractive for future economic development. These include:
• Improving the City Barker Corridor from Euclid Avenue to the southern limits of the Barker
Grade Separation project including the extension of sewer service by Spokane County.
• In partnership with Centennial Properties, the completion of a new one-mile section of
Garland Avenue that will stretch from Flora to Barker.
The Budget for 2020
Strong but Guarded
Recognizing that fiscal health is at the core of providing good public services, one of the most
important tests of fiscal management is the ability of a municipal enterprise to maintain basic
services during an economic downturn. The creation and ongoing maintenance of financial
reserves since incorporation has served the intended purpose of providing Spokane Valley the
means to sustain critical public services during turbulent economic conditions and this served the
City well during the Great Recession that began in 2008. The 2020 budget again reflects a
prudent and guarded increase in continuation of service delivery capabilities. These increases
are carefully considered and well within the means of the City. Service delivery cannot grow faster
than the economic development of the City.
We are cognizant of the fact that we currently exist in the longest economic expansion in United
States history and at this point, with each passing day we are closer to the next economic
downturn. Given this, we will remain vigilant in our observance of local, state and national events
and economic trends that may impact our own community and work towards capitalizing on our
strengths, minimizing our weaknesses, and being ever watchful towards both threats and
opportunities.
Balanced Budget
Means exactly what it says —operating expenses have been balanced with known or reasonably
predictable revenues with no increase in property tax or in sales tax rates for the City. The budget
is designed to maintain the healthy, positive fund balance at year-end providing for the City's cash
flow needs without costly borrowing. In pursuit of fiscal responsibility, special attention is given
to limiting the growth in new programs and financial commitments. This approach allows available
resources to be put toward sustaining services consistent with the City Council's priorities for 2020
and beyond.
Acknowledgments
I would like to acknowledge the Community, City Council and Staff for a long history of financially
responsible spending and sensible fiscal planning. By saving and conserving the taxpayers'
10
money, and by adopting and adhering to prudent long-term fiscal policies, the City can provide
essential services and balance its budget for many years to come.
The City Council continues to set a path to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the City.
The management staff and employees have worked together to develop the Business Plan and
2020 Budget recommendations to achieve the Council's ongoing goal of sustainability.
I hope the Citizens of Spokane Valley are proud of the programs and strong financial condition of
their City. We invite your examination and questions regarding the 2020 Budget.
Respectfully,
}
Mark Calhoun

'i]EFINANCE DEPARTMENT
Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
Valley 10210 E Sprague Avenue ♦ Spokane Valley WA 99206
Phone: (509) 720-5000♦ Fax: (509)720-5075•www.spokanevalley.org
TO: City Manager and Members of the City Council
FROM: Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
SUBJECT: About the 2020 Budget and Budget Development Process
The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds.
Additionally, the budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff and
community. As a result, the City Council, staff and public are involved in establishing the budget
for the City of Spokane Valley.
The budget serves four functions:
1. It is a Policy Document
The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will reflect
the general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future. As a policy document,
the budget makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-
day activities of the City staff.
2. It is an Operational Guide
The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each City function and organization have
been planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process will
help to maintain an understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to
each other and to the attainment of the policy issues and goals of the City Council.
3. It is a Link with the General Public
The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City operations.
The budget describes the activities of the City, the reason or cause for those activities, future
implications, and the direct relationship to the citizenry.
4. It is a Legally Required Financial Planning Tool
The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light,
preparing and adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of
the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget
and must be in place prior to the beginning of the City's fiscal year. The budget is the legal
authority to expend public monies and controls those expenditures by limiting the amount of the
appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are estimated, along with available cash
carry-forward, to indicate funds available. The budget takes into account unforeseen
contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments.
2020 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Historically the City has utilized a budgeting approach that assumed for most functions of
government that the current year's budget was indicative of the base required for the following
year. However, with the volatility that was seen in the economy with the Great Recession, the
City moved to a Budget development process that consciously reviews service levels in each
department and determines the appropriate level of funding that meets Council goals relative to
available resources.
13
The 2020 Budget development process began at the February 19, 2019 Council workshop where
among other topics, Council and staff discussed the budget in general terms. In mid-April 2019
the Finance Department notified City Departments that their 2020 revenue and expenditure
estimates were due by mid-May. Through the balance of May and early June, the City Manager's
office and Finance Department worked to prepare budget worksheets that were communicated
to the City Council at a Budget workshop held June 11, 2019. Following the workshop, the
Finance Department continued work on the budget including refinements of revenue and
expenditure estimates and through July and August, the Finance Department and City Manager
reviewed updated budget projections.
By the time the 2020 Budget is scheduled to be adopted on November 12, 2019, the Council will
have had an opportunity to discuss it on eight separate occasions, including three public hearings
to gather input from citizens:
June 11 Council budget workshop
August 20 Admin report: Estimated 2020 revenues and expenditures
September 10 Public hearing #1 on 2020 revenues and expenditures
September 24 City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2020 Budget
October 8 Public hearing #2 on 2020 Budget
October 22 First reading on ordinance adopting the 2020 Budget
November 12 Public hearing #3 on the 2020 Budget
November 12 Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2020 Budget
Once adopted, the final operating budget is published, distributed, and made available to the
public.
After the budget is adopted, the City enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage.
Throughout the year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department
directors to ensure that actual expenditures are in compliance with the approved budget. The
Finance Department provides the City Manager and City Council with monthly reports to keep
them abreast of the City's financial condition and individual department compliance with approved
appropriation levels. Any budget amendments made during the year are adopted by City Council
ordinance following a public hearing.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any
revisions that alter the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized
employee positions, salary ranges or other conditions of employment must be approved by the
City Council.
When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease
the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance adopted by Council after holding
one public hearing.
BUDGET PRINCIPLES
• Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with
City Council and City Manager priority direction, and for implementing them once they are
approved.
14
• The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and
administration of the City's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance with applicable State
of Washington statutes governing local government budgeting practices.
• The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems, formulating
solutions and alternatives, and implementing any necessary corrective actions.
• Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing those services.
• Budget amendments requiring City Council approval will occur through the ordinance process
at the fund level prior to fiscal year end.
• The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services plan in a
Council/constituent friendly format.
• No long term debt will be incurred without identification of a revenue source to repay the debt.
Long term debt will be incurred for capital purposes only.
• The City will strive to maintain equipment replacement funds in an amount necessary to
replace the equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required
contributions will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process. New operations in
difficult economic times may make it difficult to fund this principle in some years.
• The City will pursue an ending general fund balance at a level of no less than 50% of recurring
expenditures. This figure is based upon an evaluation of both cash flow and operating needs.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Accounting
Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the
State Auditor under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.09.20,
and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of
double-entry accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures
or expenses, as appropriate. The City's resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual
funds depending on their intended purpose. The following are the fund types used by the City of
Spokane Valley:
Governmental Fund Types
Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state and local
government operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or"financial
flows" measurement focus, which means that typically only current assets and current liabilities
are included on related balance sheets. The operating statements of governmental funds
measure changes in financial position, rather than net income. They present increases (revenues
and other financing sources)and decreases(expenditures and other financing uses) in net current
assets. There are four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
15
1. General Fund
This fund is the primary fund of the City of Spokane Valley. It accounts for all financial
resources except those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund.
2. Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance particular
activities of the City of Spokane Valley. Special Revenue funds include:
• #101 — Street Fund
• #103— Paths &Trails Fund
• #104— Hotel / Motel Tax—Tourism Facilities Fund
• #105— Hotel / Motel Tax Fund
• #106— Solid Waste Fund
• #107— PEG Fund
• #120— CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund
• #121 — Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund
• #122 —Winter Weather Reserve Fund
3. Debt Service Funds
These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of debt.
Debt Service Funds are comprised of the #204 — LTGO Debt Service Fund.
4. Capital Project Funds
These funds account for financial resources, which are designated for the acquisition or
construction of general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include:
• #301 — REET 1 Capital Projects Fund
• #302 — REET 2 Capital Projects Fund
• #303— Streets Capital Projects Fund
• #309— Parks Capital Projects Fund
• #310— Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund
• #311 — Pavement Preservation Fund
• #312 — Capital Reserve Fund
• #313— City Hall Construction Fund
• #314— Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund
Proprietary Fund Types
A second type of fund classification is the Proprietary Funds that are used to account for
activities similar to those found in the private sector where the intent of the governing body is
to finance the full cost of providing services based on the commercial model which uses a
flow of economic resources approach. Under this approach, the operating statements for the
proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net income (revenues and expenses) and both
current and non-current assets and liabilities are reported on related balance sheets. Their
reported fund equity (total net assets) is segregated into restricted, unrestricted and invested
in capital assets classifications. As described below, there are two generic fund types in this
category:
1. Enterprise Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general public
and are supported primarily by user charges. This type of fund includes:
• #402 — Stormwater Management Fund
• #403—Aquifer Protection Area Fund
16
2. Internal Service Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other departments
or funds of the City. This type of fund includes:
• #501 — Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund
• #502 — Risk Management Fund
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized, recorded in
the accounting system and ultimately reported in the financial statements.
• Modified Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for all governmental funds. Modified accrual
recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available to finance
expenditures of the current period.
• Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for enterprise and internal service funds. Under this
system revenues and expenses are recognized in the period incurred rather than when
cash is either received or disbursed.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriation budgets are adopted for all funds with Governmental Funds utilizing a
modified cash basis of accounting for budget purposes and Proprietary Funds utilizing a
working capital approach.
Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures, and
annual appropriations for all funds lapse at the end of the fiscal period.
EXPLANATION OF MAJOR REVENUE SOURCES
General Fund #001
• Property Tax
Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits
the City to a $3.60 levy per $1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of up to
$1.50 by the Spokane County Fire Districts #1 and #8, along with deducting up to $0.50 for
the Library District, which leaves the City with the authority to levy up to $1.60 for its own
purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance by November 30th prior to the
levy year.
• Retail Sales and Use Tax
The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane
Valley is 8.9%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the
vendor to the Washington Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the
various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the 8.9% tax rate to the
agencies is as follows:
17
State of Washington 6.50%
City of Spokane Valley 0.85%
Spokane County 0.15%
Criminal Justice 0.10%
Spokane Public Facilities District 0.10% *
Public Safety 0.10% * 2.30% local tax
Juvenile Jail 0.10% *
Mental Health 0.10% *
Law Enforcement Communications 0.10% *
Spokane Transit Authority 0.80% *
8.90%
*Indicates voter approved sales taxes.
• Criminal Justice Sales Tax
Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes,
such as the City's law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at 1/10 of 1% of retail
sales transacted in the County. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 10% of the
receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County
and cities within the County.
• Public Safety Sales Tax
Beginning in 2005, an additional 0.1% voter approved increase in sales tax was devoted to
public safety purposes. This 0.1% was approved by the voters again in August 2009. Of the
total amount collected, the State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the
remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.
• Gambling Tax
Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to
gambling. Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes
may be used for any general government purpose. Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly
to the City, no later than the last day of January, April, July and October. The City imposes a
tax on the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5% gross, less prizes);
Raffles (5% gross, less prizes); Punchboards and Pull tabs (5% gross, less prizes);
Amusement Games (2% gross, less prizes); Card playing (6% gross).
• Leasehold Excise Tax
Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties (City's
share).
• Franchise Fees
Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5% of gross revenues. This
is a fee levied on private utilities for the right to use city streets, alleys, and other public
properties.
18
• State-Shared Revenues
State-shared revenues are received from liquor sales, marijuana revenues, and motor vehicle
excise taxes. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and shared with local
governments based on population. State-shared revenues are distributed on either a monthly
or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues are distributed in the same month of the
quarter. The 2019 population figure used in the 2020 Budget is 96,720 as reported by the
Office of Financial Management for Washington State on April 1, 2019. This figure is
important when determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis.
• Fines and Forfeitures / Public Safety
Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings, false alarm fees, and
other miscellaneous rule infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State,
with the City, on average, retaining less than 50% of the amount collected.
• Community Development
Community Development revenues are largely composed of fees for building permits, plan
reviews, and right-of-way permits.
• Recreation Program Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These
fees offset direct costs related to providing the program.
• CenterPlace Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace. Uses include
regional meetings, weddings, receptions and banquets. Rental rooms include classrooms,
the great room and dining rooms.
• Investment Interest
The City earns investment interest on sales tax money held by the State of Washington prior
to the distribution of the taxes to the City, as well as on City initiated investments.
Street Fund #101
• Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (gas tax)
The State of Washington collects a $0.494 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump. Of
this amount, the State remits a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2020
the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the distribution back to cities will be
$21.25 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 96,720 (per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2019) we anticipate the City will
collect$2,055,300 in 2020. RCW 47.30.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended
for paths and trails activities and based upon the 2020 revenue estimate this computes to
$8,600. The balance of$2,046,700 will be credited to Fund #101 for street maintenance and
operations.

• Telephone Utility Tax
The City of Spokane Valley levied a 6% telephone utility tax via Ordinance #08-014 with
collections beginning in 2009. Telephone companies providing this service pay the tax to the
City monthly. Telephone tax has been estimated at $1.5 million for 2019.
Paths & Trails Fund #103
Cities are required to spend 0.42%of the motor vehicle fuel tax receipts on paths and trails (please
see the explanation for Street Fund #101) which we anticipate will be $8,600 in 2020. Because
the amount collected in any given year is relatively small, it is typical to accumulate State
distributions for several years until adequate dollars are available for a project.
Hotel / Motel Tax— Tourism Facilities Fund #104
The City imposes a 1.3% tax under RCW 67.28.181 on all charges made for the furnishing of
lodging at hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks)
for a continuous period of less than one month. The revenues generated by this tax may only be
used for capital expenditures for acquiring, constructing, making improvements to or other related
capital expenditures for large sporting venues, or venues for tourism-related facilities. This tax is
estimated to generate $420,000 in 2020.
Hotel / Motel Tax Fund #105
The City imposes a 2% tax under RCW 67.28.180 on all charges made for the furnishing of
lodging at hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks)
for a continuous period of less than one month. The tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5%
state sales tax, so that the total tax that a patron pays in retail sales tax and hotel/motel tax
combined is equal to the retail sales tax in the jurisdiction. The revenues generated by this tax
may be used solely for paying for tourism promotion and for the acquisition and/or operation of
tourism-related facilities. This tax is estimated to generate $650,000 in 2020.
Solid Waste Fund #106
Under the City's contract for solid waste transfer, transport and disposal services with Sunshine
Recyclers, Inc., Sunshine pays an annual contract administrative fee of$125,000 to the City. Also,
under the City's contract for solid waste collection services with Waste Management of
Washington, Inc., Waste Management pays an administrative fee of 12.5% of gross receipts. This
fee shall be used by the City for costs related to solid waste services, including costs for contract
administration, solid waste planning and management, and for a portion of the City's street
preservation and maintenance programs. Of the amounts collected under the fee, no more than
1% of gross receipts may be used for contract administration.
PEG Fund #107
Under the City's cable franchise, the franchise grantee remits to the City in a capital contribution
in support of Public Education Government (PEG) capital requirements an amount equal to$0.35
per subscriber per month to be paid to the City on a quarterly basis for the life of the franchise.
Capital contributions collected under this agreement are allocated to PEG capital uses
exclusively. PEG capital uses include, in part, the set-up of equipment in the City Council
Chambers that allows Spokane Valley to broadcast Council meetings both live and through
subsequent reviews via digital recordings available on the City's website.
20
LTGO Debt Service Fund #204
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of limited tax
general obligation (LTGO) bonds also referred to as councilmanic or non-voted bonds. When
LTGO bonds are issued the City irrevocably pledges the full faith, credit and resources necessary
to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and statutory limitations
pertaining to non-voted general obligations.
In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bonds the proceeds
of which were used to finance both the construction of CenterPlace and road and street
improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order to take
advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond
repayment (much like refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding
there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this total:
• $5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace.
These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 20-year period ending December
1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by the Spokane Public
Facilities District. At January 1, 2020, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond
issue will be $4,390,000.
• $1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements.
These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 10-year period ending December
1, 2023. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by equal distributions
from the 1St and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax. At January 1, 2020 the outstanding
balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $590,000.
In 2016 the City issued $7,275,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance
the construction of a new City Hall along with $6.3 million of City cash that has been set aside for
this purpose. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 30-year period ending
December 1, 2045. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by transfers in
from the General Fund. At January 1, 2020, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,735,000.
REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an excise tax on
each sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The
revenue generated is used for financing capital projects as specified in the capital facilities plan
under the Growth Management Act.
REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an additional excise
tax on each sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The
revenue generated is used for financing public works capital projects as specified in the capital
facilities plan under the Growth Management Act.
Stormwater Management Fund #402
A stormwater fee is imposed upon every developed parcel within the City, which is an annual
charge of$21 for each single family unit and $21 per 3,160 square feet of impervious surface for
all other properties. These charges are uniform for the same class of customers and service
facilities. These fees are estimated to generate $1,900,000 in 2020.
21
Aquifer Protection Area (APA) Fund #403
These are voter approved fees, the proceeds of which are applied to aquifer protection related
capital construction projects. Fees are collected by Spokane County and remitted to the City
twice each year. These fees are estimated to generate $460,000 in 2020. Fees include:
• An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the
APA.
• An annual fee of$15 per household for on-site sewage disposal by properties within the APA.
• For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water
meter size.
Interfund Transfers
Many funds receive a portion of their revenues from other funds in the form of an interfund
transfer. These transfers typically represent payments for either services rendered by one fund
for another or a concentration of revenues for a specific project or purpose. The following
interfund transfers are planned for 2020:

SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS IN THE 2020 BUDGET
Budget Summary for All Funds
• Based upon funding levels anticipated in the 2020 budget, City staff will strive to maintain
adequate levels of service.
• Appropriations for all City Funds will total $90 million including $28.6 million in capital
expenditures, comprised in-part of:
o $8.3 million in Fund #303— Street Capital Projects.
o $1.5 million in Fund #309— Park Capital Projects.
o $4.3 million in Fund #311 — Pavement Preservation projects.
o $13 million in Fund #314— Railroad Grade Separation Projects.
o $500 thousand in Fund #402 —Stormwater Management projects.
o $500 thousand in Fund #403 —Aquifer Protection Area projects.
• To partially offset the $28.6 million in capital costs, we anticipate $19.9 million in grant
revenues which results in 69.58% of capital expenditures being covered with State and
Federal money.
• Budgets will be adopted across 24 separate funds.
• The full time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase by 1.50 from 93.75 in 2019 to
95.25 in 2020. This includes the addition of a second Code Enforcement Officer in the
Community and Public Works Building Division, which necessitates increasing the part-time
0.5 FTE Attorney position to fulltime due to increased workload.
23
• The 2020 Budget reflects the sixth consecutive year the City will set aside City monies in an
amount equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures for pavement preservation
in Fund #311 — Pavement Preservation. This 6% equals $2,527,300.
• Positions and salary ranges are based on the City's compensation and classification plan.
• Payroll tax and benefit amounts are based on staff benefit plans.
• Contract costs for public safety, park maintenance, aquatics and street maintenance are
based on estimates by City staff.

eventual replacement of its vehicles as well as a reserve to replace equipment in the kitchen
at CenterPlace.
2020 General Fund Revenues
• Total recurring 2020 revenues are estimated at $48,281,800 as compared to $45,497,400 in
2019. This is an increase of$2,784,400 or 6.12%.
• The two largest sources of revenue continue to be Sales Tax and Property Tax which are
collectively estimated to account for 83.43% of 2020 General Fund recurring revenues.
• The 2020 general sales tax estimate (excluding criminal justice and public safety sales taxes)
is reflective of 2019 receipts to date and are currently estimated at$24.6 million which reflects
an increase of$1,715,900 or 7.49% over the 2019 estimate.
• The Property Tax levy does not include the potential annual increase allowed by Initiative
#747 which was approved by the voters in November 2001 and the subsequent action by the
State Legislature in November 2007.
o The 2020 levy is estimated at $12,432,400.
o The levy assumes we start with the 2019 levy of$12,182,436, forgo the potential annual
increase allowed by State law, and finally add taxes related to new construction which we
estimate to be $250,000.
• Franchise fees and business registrations are primarily based on projected receipts in 2019.
• State shared revenues are based upon a combination of historical collections including 2019
collections through July, and per capita distribution figures reported by the Municipal
Research and Services Center.

in 2019. This is an increase of$1,260,515 or 3.00%.
• The City commitment of 6% of recurring General Fund expenditures to pavement preservation
equals $2,527,300 and is computed by multiplying total recurring expenditures prior to adding
the pavement preservation element ($2,527,300 / $42,239,963 = 6%). The $2,527,300 that
is transferred to Pavement Preservation Fund #311 is comprised of the following:
o $982,023 from General Fund #001
o $772,639 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301

equal to 3,160 square feet of impervious surface that is billed at a rate of$21 per single family
residence and $21 per ERU for commercial properties (an ERU for a commercial property is
computed as total square feet of impervious surface divided by 3,160). In 2019 we estimate
this will fee will generate $1,900,000.

Fund: 103 Paths&Trails Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The State of Washington collects a$0.494 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump.Of this amount,the State remits
a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2020 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the
distribution back to cities will be$21.25 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 96,720(per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1,2019)we anticipate the City will collect$2,055,300 in 2020.
RCW 47.030.050 specifies that 0.42%of this tax must be expended for the construction of paths and trails and based upon
the 2020 revenue estimate this computes to$8,600. The balance or$2,046,700 will be credited to Fund#101 for Street
maintenance and operations.
The portion of the motor vehicle tax allocated to the Paths and Trails Fund is by State Law restricted for the construction
and/or improvement of paths and trails within the City. Because the cost of such projects is typically much greater
than the funds generated in a single year,we typically leave the fund balance untouched until an adequate fund balance
is available. The City transferred$50,000 in 2014 and$9,300 in 2016 and$50,000 in 2018 to Parks Capital Projects
Fund#309 to be applied towards the Appleway Trail projects.

Fund:106 Solid Waste Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
In 2003,the City of Spokane Valley entered into an interlocal agreement with the City of Spokane and Spokane County
to join the existing Spokane Regional Solid Waste Management System for a period of eight years. In 2011,that
agreement was extended through November 16,2014.
Committed to ensuring Spokane Valley citizens are provided with solid waste services that are affordable,sustainable,
and environmentally responsible,in June 2014 the City of Spokane Valley opted to contract for solid waste transfer,
transport and disposal services with Sunshine Recyclers, Inc.Services provided under the contract were effective
November 17,2014,and continue for a period of ten years with options for two three-year extensions. Terms of the
contract require Sunshine to pay the City an annual administrative fee of$125,000 that will be used by the City to offset
contract administrative costs and solid waste management within the city,including solid waste public educational
efforts. The contract also provides that a road maintenance fee will be paid by Sunshine at the rate of$1 per ton for
each ton in excess of 45,500 tons in a single contract year. Payments will be made to the City by March 31 of the year
following the calendar year being measured.
In June 2017,the City entered a contract with Waste Management for the collection of garbage,recyclables,and
compostables for the period of April 1,2018 through March 31,2028 with the option of two additional two-year extensions.
Terms of the contract require Waste Management to pay the City a one-time fee of$47,500 upon contract execution to
reimburse the City for the costs of procuring the contract.Waste Management is also required to pay the City an
monthly administrative fee of 12.5%of gross receipts,which is estimated to be approximately$1,500,000 in 2020.
During the years of 2013 and 2014,the General Fund#001 funded various studies and fees related to the solid waste
program and transferred$60,000 to the Solid Waste Fund#106 for the purpose of providing information materials
and marketing necessary to inform residents and businesses of the change in solid waste transfer,transport and
disposal.The total amount paid out of the General Fund for these expenditures was$202,121. Beginning in 2015 the
Solid Waste Fund will reimburse the General Fund for these costs over a 5-year period,which equated to an annual
payment of$40,425 in the years 2015 through 2018,and a final payment of$40,422 in 2019.

Fund:120 CenterP lace Operating Reserve Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund was established as a result of a covenant related to the issuance of limited
tax general obligation bonds initially issued in 2003 and refunded in 2014. The bonds were issued for the purpose of
constructing the CenterPlace facility. As a part of the bond issuance the City agreed to establish a$300,000 operating
reserve account that could be used to make debt service payments on the bonds and/or pay for operating expenses of
CenterPlace. If at any time the City were to draw on these reserves it would have to prepare and follow a plan for
reinstatement of those funds drawn. This reserve is required to be in place for the life of the bonds which run through
December 1,2033.

Fund: 121 Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The City has committed to maintaining an ending fund balance in the General Fund of at least 50%of recurring expenditures
which is equivalent to 6-months of operations. The Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund serves as an emergency source
of temporary financing to the General Fund in the event a downturn in the local economy resulted in a reduction of revenues
that would otherwise compromise either the General Fund's minimum 50%reserve balance or historical levels of service.
If an event such as a downturn in the economy resulted in the General Fund reserves dropping below 50%of recurring
expenditures,then the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund could be drawn against to maintain the fund balance
minimum. In no event would the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund be reduced to less than 60%of the current
$5.5 million balance or$3.3 million. During 2018,this reserve balance was capped at$5.5 million and any additional interest
earned was accumulated in the General Fund.This represents a Fiscal Policy of the City that is also stated in the City
Manager's 2020 Budget Message located near the front of this budget document.

Fund: 122 Winter Weather Reserve Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The Winter Weather Reserve Fund was established through Ordinance No.05-018 to provide an emergency reserve for use
during unusually harsh winters and storms where the Street Fund#101 budget and fund balance are inadequate to
accommodate the amount of related street maintenance,including but not limited to snow plowing,sanding,and deicing,that
may be necessary. In the event the City draws against this fund in any given winter,we will strive to replenish the balance back
to approximately$500,000 through subsequent years'transfers. Due to the uncertainty of when this fund might be drawn
upon we actually budget the same$500,000 in both 2019 and 2020 even though we recognize there exists only$500,000
to address this issue if it should arise.

Fund:204 Limited Tax General Obligation(LTGO)Bond-Debt Service Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for,and the payment of limited tax general obligation(LTGO)
bonds also referred to as councilmanic or non-voted bonds. When LTGO bonds are issued the City irrevocably pledges
the full faith,credit and resources necessary to make timely payments of principal and interest,within constitutional and
statutory limitations pertaining to non-voted general obligations.
In 2003 the City issued$9,430,000 in LTGO bonds,the proceeds of which were used to finance both the construction of
CenterPlace and road and street improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order
to take advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond payments(much like
refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding there remained$7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this
total:
• $5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 20-year period ending December 1,2033. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District. At January 1,2020,the outstanding balance on this
portion of the bond issue will be$4,390,000.
• $1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 10-year period ending December 1,2023. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by equal distributions from the 1st and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax(Funds#301
and#302). At January 1,2020,the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue will be$590,000.
In 2016 the City issued$7,275,000 in LTGO bonds,the proceeds of which will be used to finance the construction of a new
City Hall building along with$6.3 million of City cash that has been set aside for this purpose.These bonds will be paid off
in annual installments over the 30-year period ending December 1,2045.Annual debt service payments on these bonds are
provided by transfers in from the General Fund.At January 1,2020,the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,735,000.

Fund:310 Civic Facility Capital Projects Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The Civic Building Capital Projects Fund was initially set-up to accumulate resources to ultimately acquire or construct a
City Hall building. The initial sources of revenue to set-up the fund reserves were transfers from the General Fund during
2005 through 2007,and as recently as December 31,2009,this fund had a fund balance of$5,828,600. During 2010 and
2011 the City determined that street repairs and reconstruction represented a more immediate City need and opted to
expend nearly$2,000,000 of the fund balance for these projects. The projects themselves were part of a septic tank
elimination program(STEP)initiated by Spokane County that resulted in the installation of sewer lines down many City
streets. At that time the City decided to completely reconstruct the effected streets rather than patch them.
In 2012 the City used this fund to finance a variety street related capital projects as well as the$2.5 million acquisition
of an 8.4 acre parcel of land on Sprague Avenue that is adjacent to Balfour Park. Partially offsetting the cost of the land
acquisition was the subsequent sale of 2.82 acres of this parcel to the Spokane County Library District who had planned to
construct a library building consisting of no less than 30,000 square feet. In order for the Library District to actually construct
a new building on this site they first had to have a successful voted bond issue to provide the necessary financing. In the
event the Library District is unable to pass a bond,they may sell the 2.82 acres parcel back to the City for
the original purchase price of$839,285.
An amendment was made to the interlocal agreement in October 2017 which extended the agreement through October 2022
with the option to extend through October 2024. Through this amendments,the City also agreed to contribute$1.3 million,of
which the$839,285 would be part,in frontage and/or joint site improvements on the Library site.
In 2015 the General Fund began to make two annual transfers to this fund that were each related to the eventual
construction of a new City Hall facility.These transfers ended after 2016:
• The first transfer in the amount of$72,500,when added to the City's$434,600 annual lease payment for space in its
current space totals$507,100 which was the amount we anticipated our annual bond repayment would be if we were
to issue approximately$8,000,000 of limited tax general obligation bonds with a 2%issue cost over 30-years at 4.50%.
• The second transfer was our estimate of the annual operating costs of a City Hall facility including utilities,janitorial,
grounds maintenance and snow removal,and operating and maintenance supplies.
The purpose behind making these transfers beginning in 2015 was to"create"this appropriation capacity within the General
Fund.These amounts were transferred out to the General Fund in 2016 and 2017 in order to cover lease payments for the
prior City Hall location in years in which the City had both a lease payment and a bond payment for the new City Hall building.

NOTE: Not included in this chart for 2019 is a budgeted amount of$1,140,000 that is being charged to fund 311.This
amount is for waterline work being done for Model Irrigation District No. 18,under an MOU dated 4/10/19.
Beginning in 2013,the City committed to finance pavement preservation at a level equivalent to 6%of General Fund
recurring expenditures,which has continued from that year through the 2020 budget development.Because this is a
Capital Project Fund whose sole purpose is to provide for Pavement Preservation projects,any money not expended
in a given year will remain in the fund and will be available for re-appropriation in subsequent years.
The fund balance of Fund#123 was exhausted with the 2016 transfer of$559,808 as a consequence of following this funding
strategy. In order to maintain the City's practice of setting aside funds for pavement preservation in an amount equivalent to
6%of General Fund recurring expenditures,the City began to rely more heavily on REET funds.We have determined that
the 2020 funding level representing approximatly 6%of General Fund recurring expenditures is$2,527,300 and that this level
of funding is sustainable through 2023 assuming a General Fund contribution of$982,023 and a collective contribution of
$1,545,277 from the REET 1 Capital Projects Fund#301 and the REET 2 Capital Projects Fund#302. The City will take
advantage of grant programs directed at pavement preservation as they become available.

Fund:314 Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
This fund was created to account for the design and construction costs of various railroad grade separation projects that
are included in the Bridging the Valley concept. Due to the anticipated size,scope,and duration of these projects,managing
them in a separate fund allows for the necessary monitoring without being obscured by the variety and quantity of the
other projects in the Street Capital Projects Fund#303 as well as keeping these projects from skewing the average volume
of activity in Fund#303. Revenues for this fund consist of grant proceeds and transfers in from other City funds,such as
the General Fund#001,the REET 1 Capital Project Fund#301 and the Capital Reserve Fund#312. Expenditures in the
years of 2018 and 2019 are related to design costs for the Pines Road Underpass project and the Barker Road Overpass
project.

Fund:403 Aquifer Protection Area Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
In 1985 voters of Spokane County approved a ballot proposition to create the Spokane Aquifer Protection Area(APA)
as well as corresponding aquifer protection area fees with both sunsetting December 31,2005. Boundaries of the
APA included portions of unincorporated areas(including what is now Spokane Valley)and the cities of Liberty Lake,
Millwood and Spokane. In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley approved a resolution authorizing the inclusion of its municipal
boundaries within the APA. The APA program was subsequently reauthorized through 2025 with voter approval.
All fees are collected by Spokane County and include:
• An annual fee of$15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the APA.
• An annual fee of$15 per household for on-site sewage disposal within the APA.
• For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from$15 to$960 depending upon water meter size.
In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley(City)entered into an interlocal agreement with Spokane County(County)that
authorized the County to collect and retain APA fees through 2010 for a variety of projects including:
• up to$100,000 annually through 2010 to the Spokane Regional Health District to provide for data base
management related to monitoring of septic tanks and their potential impact on water quality in the Spokane
Valley Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
• a septic tank elimination program(STEP)designed to replace septic tanks with sanitary sewer systems.
In the 2004 interlocal agreement the City and County also agreed that for the years 2011 through 2025 the APA fees
remaining after the payment of reasonable administration and billing fees incurred by the County would be distributed
annually between the County,City and City of Spokane on a proportional basis relative to the amount generated in
unincorporated areas,the City and City of Spokane.
The fees collected on the City's behalf by Spokane County are expended entirely on stormwater related projects that are
designed to protect the aquifer. These fees plus grant monies received from a number of granting agencies finance a
variety of capital projects.

Fund:501 Equipment Rental&Replacement Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The Equipment Rental&Replacement Fund(ER&R)is an Internal Service Fund that is designed to provide the funds
necessary to purchase new vehicles and equipment at predetermined life cycles. This fund operates by charging each City
department a monthly rental rate for the vehicles they use. The fee is based upon the estimated useful life of the vehicle
and its replacement cost. The theory behind this program is that it allows City departments to budget vehicle replacement
costs as a reoccurring expense over an extended period of time rather than as an intermittent capital expense that may be
difficult to afford in any single year. In the event a City department requires an additional vehicle that actually adds to the
fleet rather than simply replaces an existing vehicle,then that department must budget for the initial purchase price and
transfer the necessary funds to the ER&R Fund to make the acquisition. In subsequent years the department will then
begin paying a replacement fee spread out over the estimated useful life of the new vehicle.
Beginning in 2017 a CenterPlace Kitchen Reserve was established through a transfer in from the General Fund in the
amount of$36,600 per year for 5 years to build a total reserve of$183,000,which is the estimated replacement cost of the
significant kitchen appliances and equipment at CenterPlace.
Snow Plow Replacement Program
The snow plow fleet currently consists of nine plow trucks.Six of the trucks are equipped with sanders and three of the
trucks are equipped with 1,000-gallon tanks for placement of liquid deicer.Over the past five years the City has
continued to improve the snow removal operations and has updated the snow plan accordingly.These improvements in
snow operations have dictated that operating nine plows is a very efficient way to remove snow from the arterial and hillside
roadways.Operating nine plows allows the performance of a full city arterial and designated hillsides plow in approximately
12 hours. In the future new plows will be purchased to replace the aging fleet as noted below and older plows will serve
as backups and eventually be retired from the fleet beginning in 2022.The recommended snow plow fleet consists of eleven
plows with two serving as backup plows.The two backup plows ensure that arterial roadways and hillside priority roadways
can be cleared of snow per the snow plan.Having backup plows provides the City with additional plows that can be deployed
in case of a mechanical breakdown or an accident during a winter storm event.
The 2020 Budget includes the purchase of a single axle plow truck for approximately$235,000.Future replacements are
estimated at that cost according to the below replacement schedule.
