AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Resolution 20-006 delegating authority to City Manager relating to acquisition
and disposition of certain types of real property interests.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 3.49.010 and RCW 35A.11.020.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: April 1, 2008, adoption of Resolution 08-005, granting
limited authority to the City Manager regarding real property acquisition in conjunction with capital and
other development projects; administrative report on draft Resolution 20-006 on March 31, 2020.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to SVMC 3.49.010, the City Manager is authorized to negotiate the purchase
of real property on behalf of the City, however Council has the final approval authority. This section goes
on to state that the Council may delegate the authority for approval and purchase to the City Manager or
staff as appropriate.
Under prior SVMC provisions relating to acquisition of real property, Council approved Resolution 08-
005, which granted some authority to acquire real property. However, Resolution 08-005 was not a model
of clarity, nor was it thorough in identifying the appropriate range of what it covered. In the intervening
years, staff has been aware of the limitations of Resolution 08-005, and worked within its constraints. In
that time, staff has brought a number of very routine items to Council for approval that could have been
done more easily and timely by staff. Examples include moving or extinguishing unnecessary stormwater
easements, access easements, disposing of or acquiring moderately -sized pieces of property for street or
stormwater projects, etc.
Council adopted new purchasing provisions in 2015, which provided a much clearer regulatory framework
for acquisitions, and for delegating authority to the City Manager as appropriate. Given the number and
scope of the projects coming up in the next few years, staff wanted to bring this forward in an effort to
minimize the amount of time Council has to spend on very routine items. As always, staff will keep Council
apprised of high level project status reports as they are occurring.
UPDATED: Following the Council discussion on the dollar threshold, previously set at $100,000,
Engineering staff reviewed a number of projects over the past several years and determined there were no
acquisitions between $50,000 and $100,000. As such, this revised draft has that threshold reduced to
$50,000, and any purchases in excess of that amount would need prior Council action.
OPTIONS: (1) Approve Resolution 20-006 as drafted; or (2) take other action as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we approve Resolution 20-006 delegating authority
relating to acquisition and disposition of certain types of real property interests.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Not applicable.

to the acquisition, sale, ownership, improvement, maintenance, protection, restoration, regulation, use,
leasing, disposition, vacation, abandonment or beautification of public ways... ."; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary in the routine operation of the City to acquire real property for projects,
and related to the approval of development projects, most of which are small in size; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary in the routine operation of the City to grant, extinguish, or accept
temporary or permanent easements of various types across City rights -of -way, including but not limited to
construction easements, access easements, stormwater easements, and utility easements; and
WHEREAS, delegation of limited authority to the City Manager for such minor tasks will result in
a more efficient use of Council time, as well as City staff time; and
WHEREAS, circumstances exist where, due to federal law relating to federally -funded capital
projects, the City Engineer is required to execute applicable documents to accomplish the transfer of
property rights; and
WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to affirm and ratify past actions taken by the City Manager
and/or City staff related to the acquisition of right-of-way or in granting easements in conjunction with

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed Resolution 20-007: Authorizing grant applications through the
Washington Recreation Conservation Office (RCO) for Balfour Park Development and acquisition
of Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) property located east of Flora Road.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Authorized RCO grant application April 24, 2014 for the
Appleway Trail.
BACKGROUND: The City is interested in applying for a development grant for Balfour Park and
an acquisition grant for the Flora Road Property. Pursuant to that, the Washington Recreation
and Conservation Office requires a resolution. There is a fifty percent local match required for
both these grants. State grant assistance is requested by the City to aid in financing the cost of
the Flora Road and Balfour Park projects. The City will be requesting $500,000 for the Balfour
Development Project and $1,000,000 for the Flora Road Acquisition Property Acquisition.
Due to the sense of urgency and potential threat of the Flora Road property becoming unavailable,
the City has applied for and received a waiver of retroactivity from the RCO. This would allow the
City to reimburse itself for $1 million in acquisition costs if the grant application is successful. The
City is proposing to construct Phase 1 of the Balfour Park project estimated to be approximately
$2.5 million.
This Resolution authorizes City Manager Mark Calhoun to act as the authorized
representative/agent on behalf of Spokane Valley and to legally bind our organization with respect
to the Projects for which we seek grant funding assistance managed through the Recreation and
Conservation Office.
OPTIONS: (1) Move to approve Resolution 20-007 as proposed; or (2) take other action as
appropriate
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we approve Resolution 20-007 authorizing
grant applications through the Washington Recreation Conservation Office (RCO) for Balfour Park
Development and the Flora Road Property Acquisition.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Based upon the 50% matching fund requirement, with a
successful grant application, the award could be as much as $500,000 for the Balfour Park
development project, and $1,000,000 for the Flora Road Property acquisition. It is noteworthy
that in Council's March 31, 2020 discussion on the WSDOT Flora property acquisition that it was
observed the City might consider using a portion of the $1,985,000 set aside for Balfour Park
development in Capital Reserve Fund #312 for the Flora acquisition. If we used a portion of the
Balfour Park earmark for the Flora property acquisition and a grant was awarded for the Balfour
Park project, it's likely that the total remaining Balfour Park earmark plus the RCO grant award
would result in a downsizing of the project.

RESOLUTION 20-007
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY,

WHEREAS, the City engaged in a community process in 2019 to craft a conceptual master plan for the
reconstruction and expansion of Balfour Park; and
WHEREAS, the City's Parks Master Plan identifies the need to acquire additional vacant land for the

WHEREAS, the City has negotiated the terms of an acquisition of 45 acres of vacant, largely natural
property near the Spokane River for $2,091,600; and
WHEREAS, state grant assistance is requested by the City to aid in financing the cost of the Flora Road

WHEREAS, this Resolution authorizes Mark Calhoun to act as the authorized representative/agent on
behalf of Spokane Valley and to legally bind our organization with respect to the Projects for which we seek
grant funding assistance managed through the Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that:
Section 1. The City intends to apply for funding assistance from RCO for the Projects.
Section 2. City Manager Mark Calhoun is authorized to act as a representative for the City with full
authority to bind the City regarding all matters related to the Projects, including but not limited to, full authority
to: (1) approve submittal of a grant application to RCO, (2) enter into a project agreement(s) on behalf of the City,
(3) sign any amendments thereto on behalf of the City, (4) make any decisions and submissions required with
respect to the Projects, and (5) designate a project contact(s) to implement the day-to-day management of the
grants.
Section 3. The City has reviewed the sample project agreement on the RCO's website at:
https://rco.wa.gov/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/SampleProjAgreement.pdf. The City understands and
acknowledges that if offered a project agreement to sign in the future, it will contain an indemnification and legal
venue stipulation and other terms and conditions substantially in the form contained in the sample project
agreement, and that such terms and conditions of any signed project agreement shall be legally binding on the
City if the City's representative enters into a project agreement on its behalf. The RCO reserves the right to revise
the project agreement prior to execution and shall communicate any such revisions with the City's representative
before execution.
DRAFT
Section 4. The City acknowledges and warrants, after conferring with its legal counsel, that its
authorized representative has full legal authority to enter into a project agreement(s) on its behalf substantially in
the form contained in the sample project agreement or as may be revised prior to execution.
Section 5. Grant assistance is contingent on a signed project agreement. Entering into any project
agreement with RCO is purely voluntary on the part of the City. The City understands that grant policies
and requirements vary depending on the grant program applied to, the grant program and source of funding
in the project agreement, the characteristics of the project, and the characteristics of our organization. The
City further understands that prior to the City's execution of the project agreement(s), the RCO may make
revisions to its sample project agreement, which the City will review, and which shall become legally
binding upon full execution.
Section 6. Any grant assistance received will only be used for direct eligible and allowable costs that are
reasonable and necessary to implement the Projects.
Section 7. If local matching funds are required for the grant, we understand the City must certify the
availability of match at least one month before funding approval. In addition, the City understands it is responsible
for supporting all non -cash matching share commitments to this project should they not materialize.
Section 8. The City acknowledges that if it receives grant funds managed by RCO, RCO will pay the
City on a reimbursement -only basis. The City understands reimbursement basis means that we will only request
payment from the RCO after the City incurs and pays for grant -eligible and allowable costs. The RCO may also
determine an amount of retainage for each project and hold that amount until the applicable project is complete.
Section 9. The City acknowledges that any property acquired with grant assistance must be dedicated for
the purposes of the grant in perpetuity unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the City and the RCO. The City
agrees to dedicate the property in a signed "Deed of Right" for fee acquisitions, or an "Assignment of Rights" for
other than fee acquisitions (which documents will be based upon the RCO's standard versions of those
documents), to be recorded on the title of the property and filed with the Spokane County Auditor.
Section 10. The City acknowledges that any property acquired in fee title must be immediately made
available to the public unless otherwise provided for in policy, the project agreement, or authorized in writing by
the RCO Director.

enhanced, or restored with grant assistance must be dedicated for the purpose of the grant in perpetuity unless
otherwise allowed by grant program policy, or the RCO in writing and pursuant to the project agreement or an
amendment thereto.
Section 12. This Resolution was legally adopted pursuant to the laws of the City of Spokane Valley and
the State of Washington, and is deemed to be part of the formal grant application to the Office.
Section 13. Effective date. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect upon adoption.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report — Potential Grant Opportunity: Better Utilizing
Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) FY 2020
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.77.010: Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
• March 10, 2020: Administrative report discussing potential grant opportunity by USDOT's
BUILD program.
• February 4, 2020: City Council authorized the City manager to apply for an INFRA grant for
the joint -application with Spokane County for the Bigelow -Sullivan Corridor project.
• January 21, 2020: City Council authorized the City Manager to enter into a Memorandum of
Understanding with Spokane County for a consultant contract in order to prepare and submit
an INFRA application for the Sullivan Road and Bigelow Gulch/Forker Road Improvement
Projects.
• June 4, 2019: City Council authorized the City Manager to apply for BUILD FY19 grant
funds for the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project (GSP).
• August 21, 2018: City Council authorized the City Manager to apply for Federal Railroad
Administration's (FRA) Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements Program
(CRISI) for the Pines Road/BNSF GSP
• June 5, 2018: City Council authorized the City Manager to apply for BUILD (FY 18) grant
funds for the Pines Road/BNSF GSP
• May 22, 2018: City Council authorized the City Manager to apply for FRA's CRISI FY 2018
grant funds for the Pines Road/BNSF GSP
BACKGROUND: The US Department of Transportation (USDOT) issued a call for projects on
February 18, 2020 for the BUILD discretionary grant program. BUILD was authorized as part of
the Consolidated Appropriations Act in 2020 and offers a total of $1 billion available for
transportation infrastructure improvement projects. Projects are evaluated on safety, state of
good repair, economic competitiveness, environmental sustainability, quality of life, innovation,
and partnership.
Minimum and maximum award amounts for urban projects are $5 million and $25 million,
respectively. No state is permitted to receive over $100 million of awarded funds. Total awarded
funds will be split between urban and rural areas, with no single area receiving over 50% of the
total awarded funds. BUILD requires a 20% non-federal match for awarded projects within an
urban boundary.
BUILD applications are due May 18, 2020 at 2PM PDT. Award announcements are on or before
September 15, 2020. If awarded, BUILD funding must be obligated by September 30, 2022.
This obligation requires the City to have a signed and executed grant agreement in place with
USDOT by the September 30, 2022 deadline. Lastly, if awarded, BUILD funding must be fully
expended (i.e. expended, invoiced, or reimbursed) by September 30, 2027.
There are multiple scenarios to consider when evaluating which project may be best suited for
the BUILD program. In 2018 and 2019, the City submitted a BUILD application for the Pines
Road/BNSF GSP. These BUILD applications made various assumptions regarding non-federal
funding that would be "expected" rather than "secured." In 2020, the City submitted an INFRA
application for the Bigelow -Sullivan Corridor project. For the Bigelow -Sullivan Corridor project to
be eligible for BUILD, additional non-federal funds would be required. Based on the funding
status of the County's Bigelow -Gulch project and the City's status for the Sullivan/Trent
interchange projects, additional non-federal funding would be required for the City's share of the
improvements. The table below describes three funding scenarios for the two projects.
BUILD Scenarios
BUILD Request
Unsecured Funds
Pines/BNSF GSP (Scenario 1)
$ 17,886,000
$ 1,732,000
Pines/BNSF GSP (Scenario 2)
$ 14,330,000
$ 5,288,500
Bigelow -Sullivan (Scenario 3)
$ 25,000,000
$ 11,650,282
Scenario 1: Maximizes the 80% federal funding maximum allowed by USDOT and reduces any
additional "unsecured funds." This ignores any contribution from a FMSIB (Freight Mobility
Strategic Investment Board) deferred award. This scenario would be consistent with past
requests to the BUILD program.
Scenario 2: Requests 50% of the overall project cost, which is an unofficial goal for USDOT
contributions. This scenario maintains the non-federal assumptions from past years and
includes approximately $3.3 million of deferred finding from the state's FMSIB. This scenario
would be less than the City's past requests but keeps the non-federal funding liability on the
City.
Scenario 3: The County's share of the joint application would remain at approximately $10
million and the City's request to BUILD would be reduced to approximately $15 million. This
would require the City's share of the project to secure an additional estimated $11.6 million for
the Sullivan and Trent interchange project.
The City may also choose to not submit any applications to BUILD. In this case, Spokane
County would submit an application on its own for the Bigelow -Gulch portions of the project.
With this in mind, the City could provide its support for the County's application. Meanwhile, this
would allow the City to develop its PE and ROW phases on the Pines Road/BNSF GSP and
have a 2021 BUILD application that is better defined, further developed, and more "shovel
ready" as part of a 2021 application.
OPTIONS: Discussion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Updates to the existing project applications are provided by
staff with support from an outside consultant. Costs will be different for the two project options:
Pines Road/BNSF GSP: The consultant cost for updating the Pines Road/BNSF GSP
application is approximately $9,000. This cost would be born 100% by the City.
Bigelow -Sullivan Corridor: The consultant cost for updating the Bigelow -Sullivan Corridor
application is approximately $20,000. This consultant cost would be shared proportionally with
Spokane County and our City and be based on each agency's share of the total requested
BUILD amount. It is anticipated that the City would be responsible for 70% of the consultant cost
($14,000) and the County would be responsible for 30% of the consultant cost ($6,000).

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Requalification
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: CDBG — Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD);
Chapter 39.34 RCW
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: In May of 2017 the City entered into an interlocal three-year
agreement (2018, 2019 and 2020) to participate in the Spokane County CDBG Consortium.
BACKGROUND: Spokane County is now due to re -qualify in 2020 for fiscal years 2021, 2022 and 2023,
the City is again in the position to decide whether to renew its participation in the CDBG Consortium or
become a direct entitlement recipient from HUD. In order for Spokane County to meet its obligation under
the HUD requirements, the City must provide written notice by June 12, 2020.
During this re -qualification period for Spokane County, the City must select one of the following four options
relative to its participation in the CDBG program:
1. Accept entitlement status and receive CDBG funds directly from HUD;
2. Accept entitlement status and enter into joint agreement with Spokane County;
3. Defer entitlement status and participate through the State CDBG program; or
4. Defer entitlement status and participate as part of urban county with Spokane County.
In 2005, the City became eligible to become an entitlement community. At that time, the City selected to
defer its entitlement and participate as part of the urban county (option 4). The City has continued that
choice for every subsequent re -qualification period up to the present time.
Since 2008, the City has received a 20 percent set aside for CDBG eligible capital projects within the City
limits. The set aside is a portion of the County Consortium for CDBG award. Since 2008, the County's
average award is about $1.4 million creating an average City set aside of about $285,000. In addition to
the set aside, many of the City's community partners (Meals on Wheels, SNAP, water districts, Spokane
Valley Partners) also receive CDBG funding from the County. Since 2008, the City and its community
partners have received an average of 39 percent of the County CDBG award, and as of April 1, 2019, the
City represents 33 percent of the population of the County Consortium.
For program year 2020 and 2021, the City has committed CDBG funds to assist eligible homeowners with
assessment and connection charges for the Barker Road sewer project. Spokane County Housing and
Community Development is managing this program.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: As noted above.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Gambling Tax: Punchboards and Pull Tabs
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Municipal Code Chapter 3.25 and RCW Chapter
9.46.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Discussion at the March 24, 2020 Council meeting
regarding adding a future administrative report on gambling taxes to the agenda.
BACKGROUND: In 2003 the City of Spokane Valley adopted an ordinance which authorized
certain gaming/gambling activities and imposed related taxes, the proceeds of which are used to
partially offset law enforcement costs. The gambling tax rate for card games was decreased from
10% to 6% effective July 1, 2015 through the adoption of ordinance #15-012. Listed below is
gambling tax rate information which includes the maximum allowed by State law and the current
rates in Spokane Valley:

(1) Rates are applicable to gross receipts, less amounts awarded

(2) Rates are applicable to gross revenue.
Since the City's incorporation in 2003, a number of businesses that offer gambling as a form of
entertainment have opened and closed and related tax revenues have fluctuated from year to
year with an overall downward trend. There are currently 31 businesses in Spokane Valley that
offer gambling along with a few non-profit organizations that occasionally have activity. Actual
gambling tax revenues for the period 2010 through 2019 as well as the 2020 Budget projection
are included as a separate Attachment #1 in your agenda packet. The downward trend is
conceivably due to a combination of competition from both regional and on-line gambling
establishments as well as the decrease in the tax rate on card games in 2015.
At the March 24, 2020 meeting, a Councilmember requested that an administrative report on
gambling taxes be placed on the advance agenda after receiving a request from an area business
that the City consider waiving gambling taxes on punchboards and pull tabs for two quarters in
2020 due to the economic hardship being experienced by small businesses with the COVID-19
pandemic response. The City collected $76,573 in taxes on punchboards and pull tabs in 2019,
Page 1 of 2
which would mean a reduction in revenues of approximately $19,000 for one quarter of waived
taxes and approximately $38,000 for two quarters. The City has since received communication
from another area business requesting that first quarter gambling taxes be waived. Staff has
estimated a reduction in revenues of approximately $105,000 per quarter if all gambling taxes
were waived based on total collections of $419,796 in 2019.
OPTIONS: None at this time. This report is informational for discussion only
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action is required at this time.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2020 Budget includes a revenue estimate of $366,000 in
gambling taxes including:
• $ 67,000 Punch Boards and Pull Tabs
• $ 1,000 Bingo and Raffles
• $ 13,000 Amusement Games
• $285,000 Card Games
Based on 2019 tax collections, it is estimated that each quarter of waived gambling taxes would
result in a reduction in revenue of approximately $105,000, with a reduction of about $19,000
from punchboards and pull tabs alone.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Lodging Tax Funds - COVID-19 Pandemic Update.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State Law RCW 67.28, and Spokane Valley Municipal Code 3.20
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: December 10, 2019, City Council voted to approve the
2020 Lodging Tax allocations as described below.
BACKGROUND: In 2003 the City implemented a 2% hotel/motel tax (the "2% lodging tax
portion"), the proceeds of which may be used to promote conventions and tourist travel to our City
pursuant to chapter 67.28 RCW. In addition to the 2% lodging tax portion, the City also imposed
an additional 1.3%, which was codified to be used solely for capital costs for tourism capital
facilities pursuant to SVMC 3.20.010(A)(2) and 3.20.020(B) (the "1.3% lodging tax portion").
In addition to the 1.3% portion that is dedicated to capital facilities, since 2017, the City Council
has annually voted to transfer a portion of the 2% revenues from the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund #105
to the Hotel/Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund #104 for capital facilities purposes. Council then
allocates the remainder of the 2% revenues to applicants for various tourism related purposes.
Fund #104 had a fund balance of $2,690,945 as of December 31, 2019. Of this amount $775,000
is derived from the 2% tax revenues with another $450,000 approved to be transferred to Fund
#104 during 2020.
2020 Allocation Awards
In 2019, the City anticipated that the 2% lodging tax would generate $650,000 in 2020 in lodging
tax revenues with $795,000 being available for allocation. The City Council voted to transfer
$450,000 to Fund #104 and allocated the remaining $319,000 as follows:

Proposed Transfer to Fund #104 450,000
Total Awarded in 2020 Budget 769,000
There are two important points to be aware of with regard to the 2020 allocations. First, the
allocations and distributions are based upon anticipated 2020 lodging tax collections, as the City
does not maintain an annual balance other than a small amount (approximately $164,000 or 25%
of expected revenues) for cash -flow purposes.
Secondly, each applicant receives its lodging tax funds pursuant to a grant agreement with the
City on a reimbursement basis. This allows the City to ensure that the funds are used for the
purposes identified in the application and for allowable tourism promotion purposes as allowed
by State law. Note that JAKT has notified the City that Oktoberfest will not occur in 2020 and so
the actual amount for which the City has entered into grant agreements for 2020 is $310,600.
COVID-19 Pandemic Impacts
Beginning in late February and early March of 2020, Governor Inslee began issuing a series of
Emergency Declarations and Proclamations in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, to limit
group gatherings such as sports events and concerts, limit exposure, and to attempt to slow and
stem the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus. The Governor's "Stay Home, Stay Healthy"
proclamation on March 24, 2020 required non -essential businesses to cease operations except
through remote means. At this time, it is still too early to determine the full impact from the COVID-
19 Pandemic on lodging tax revenues. However, staff believes that the COVID-19 Pandemic and
the various limitations placed on gatherings and businesses by the Governor are and will continue
to have a significant negative effect on hotel/motel stays, which will certainly decrease the lodging
tax revenues collected in 2020.
Although staff cannot anticipate the total effect at this time, we believe that the 2020 lodging taxes
collected will fall below the $650,000 that was originally projected. Accordingly, it is necessary to
begin addressing the decrease at this time. Indeed, staff have already been contacted by at least
one entity requesting information on whether the City will still pay the entire awarded amount.
2
Options
There are a number of options for the City to address the decreased collections. As required
pursuant to State law, any change in revenue distribution requires consideration and comment by
the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. See RCW 67.28.1817(2).
Three possibilities include: (1) prioritize distribution of collected revenues between applicants and
Fund #104; (2) re -allocate available 2020 funds to a fewer number of applicants; or (3) re -allocate
money in Fund #104 that was originally allocated from 2% portion to the 2020 applicants.
The City will also be amending all agreements to make clear that distributions will be based on
pro-rata share of actual collections.
The City has collected $67,238 as of March 31, 2020; however, this only represents activity from
January and February. Staff expects to see the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic more in the
next few months, and at this point there is not enough information to make an accurate estimate.
During the Great Recession that began in 2008, annual collections of the 2% lodging tax hit a low
of just under $424,000. That represents a decrease of $226,000 from the $650,000 revenue
estimate currently in the 2020 Budget. As identified above, the City also has $775,000 in Fund
#104 derived from the 2% portion that could be re -allocated. The $775,000 is the funds on hand
and does not include the $450,000 transfer that was approved as part of the 2020 awards.
Option 1: Allocate available 2% funds to applicants first, and any remaining collections to Fund
#104.
At this time, staff believes that since there was no priority designation by City Council, allocations
to applicants and Fund #104 will occur on a pro-rata basis. This means all applicants and Fund
#104 will receive some portion of the funds collected, but all will likely receive a smaller amount
than was allocated in December due to anticipated lower collections of tax revenues.
Under this option, City Council could prioritize the use of funds as it determines is appropriate.
Examples could include prioritizing certain of the applicants for full funding first, or prioritizing all
applicants first with any remaining amount collected to be put into Fund #104.
Option 2: Re -allocate available 2020 funds to fewer number of applicants.
Under this option, City Council could re -allocate anticipated 2020 funds to a fewer number of
applicants and/or Fund #104 or "line -item veto" one or more of the recipients. Under this option,
rather than prioritizing (meaning potentially all will receive something depending on the amount
actually collected), City Council would conduct a review and re -allocation based on a revised
estimate of anticipated revenues.
Option 3: Re -allocate money in Fund #104 that was originally allocated from the 2% portion to
the 2020 applicants.
Since 2017, City Council has transferred $775,000 of the 2% tax funds to Fund #104 for capital
purposes. City Council could re -allocate a portion of this amount to fully fund all applicants in
2020. This would be allowable since the 2% can be used for any tourism promotion purposes as
determined appropriate and allocated by City Council.
Under all options, since City Council has already approved the 2020 awards and grant
agreements have been executed, any change to priority or allocation would constitute a "change
in use of revenues" and require review and comment from the LTAC prior to final action by the
Council.
3
Given that we have limited information at this time on the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic, this
material and these options are being presented for discussion purposes to make City Council and
recipients aware of the likely decrease and necessity for changes in distribution. Staff are not
seeking a determination on an option at this time, but likely will come forward at a later date to
seek consensus on how to address the anticipated decrease in lodging tax revenues once more
information is known about the impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
OPTIONS: Discussion
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2020 Budget currently includes total revenues of
$656,000 including $650,000 of lodging taxes. Total expenditures are budgeted at $825,000
including $30,000 to offset advertising at CenterPlace and up to $795,000 to be allocated through
the award process. At the December 10, 2019 Council meeting, actual awards brought the total
expenditures for the year down to $799,000, including $319,000 in awards to applicants as well
as $450,000 deducted from the available funds for the award distributions and approved for
transfer into the 1.3% Lodging Tax Fund account dedicated for a large sports venue or venues
for tourism facilities. One applicant, JAKT — Oktoberfest, has indicated Oktoberfest will not occur
and so the City currently has grant agreements committing $310,600.
With the current economic impacts expected from the COVID-19 Pandemic, a reduction in lodging
tax revenues is anticipated. If the reduction is similar to that seen during the Great Recession,
lodging tax collections could be as low as $424,000, which is $226,000 less than the $650,000
currently included in the 2020 Budget.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Lodging Tax Funds
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State Law RCW 67.28, and Spokane Valley Municipal Code
3.20
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Thus far in 2019 for the 2020 awards, the Council has
had discussions pertaining to lodging tax on three previous occasions:
• July 16, 2019 where we discussed:
o Lodging tax in general — what it is and how it may be expended.
o The LTAC — what it is and its role in the process.
o The Council's role in the process.
o Council goals and priorities for the LTAC.
• July 30, 2019 where Council discussed and reached consensus on the goals and priorities
that should be included in the lodging tax grant application and also communicated to the
LTAC.
• November 12, 2019 where Council heard an administrative report on the 2020
recommended lodging tax grant allocations from the LTAC.
BACKGROUND: In 2003 the City implemented a 2% hotel/motel tax, the proceeds of which are
used to promote conventions and tourist travel to our City. The organizations to which the tax
proceeds are distributed are ultimately determined by the City Council which receives a
recommendation from the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC). The LTAC is comprised of
five members who are appointed by the City Council. The LTAC membership must include:
• At least two representatives of businesses that are required to collect the tax,
• At least two people who are involved in activities that are authorized to be funded by the tax,
and
• One elected city official who serves as chairperson of the LTAC.
The LTAC makes its recommendations based upon a combination of written application
materials and a presentation that is made to them by each applicant.
On October 19, 2019, the LTAC met to consider application materials and presentations from
applicants seeking a portion of the $795,000 appropriated in the City's 2020 Budget. After
applicant presentations, the LTAC passed a motion that $450,000 be deducted from the
available Lodging Tax funds for distribution in 2020 and have those funds moved into the 1.3%
Lodging Tax Fund account dedicated for a large sports venue or venues for tourism facilities
that generate overnight guests and recommended that this motion be provided for the Council's
approval. This left $345,000 of the $795,000 available in the 2020 Budget to be recommended
for awards to the applicants. Also, the LTAC chose to allocate only $319,000 of the $345,000
available and leave the excess remaining in the Fund to be available for award in future years.
Presentations were made by the HUB Sports Center, JAKT for Crave NW, JAKT for the farmer's
market, JAKT for Spokane Oktoberfest, Northwest Winterfest, Spokane County Fair and Expo
1
Center, Spokane Sports Commission, Valleyfest, Valleyfest Cycle Celebration, and Visit
Spokane. Following applicant presentations the LTAC discussed both the merits of making
particular awards to various applicants and how they felt revenues should be allocated.
Ultimately, the LTAC recommended the following awards be advanced to the City Council for
consideration:

531,100 319,000
Proposed Transfer to Fund #104 450,000
Total Awarded in 2020 Budget 769,000
At times some organizations apply for funding through both the Outside Agency and the
Lodging Tax award processes. JAKT, Northwest Winterfest, and Valleyfest all applied for
Lodging Tax Funding for 2020, as well as for 2020 Outside Agency funding, and were awarded
$14,862, $0, and $28,146, respectively, in Outside Agency funding at the October 22, 2019
Council meeting.
OPTIONS: Washington law provides two very clear options for City Council. First, the City
Council may approve all or some of the listed recipients and amounts recommended by the
LTAC. Under this option, the City Council may essentially line -item veto one or more of the
recommended award amounts to individual recipients. Any amount not awarded would be kept
in the Lodging Tax fund for consideration next year. Under this option, no further action is
required by the LTAC or City Council after the award is made.
The second option is for City Council to reject the entire recommendation and to return it to the
LTAC for reconsideration and for a new recommendation. Under this option, the LTAC would
have to reconsider the requests, develop a new recommendation, and resubmit to the City
Council for consideration. This option does delay award of the lodging tax funds considerably
for the requestors, which may put strain on their budgeting process.
Under a relatively recent informal attorney general's opinion, a third possible option has also
been identified. Under RCW 67.28.1817, a municipality may propose "a change in the use of
revenue received under [RCW 67.28]," but must submit the proposal to the LTAC for review and
comment. Then, the LTAC must be given at least 45 days to review and provide comments
prior to final action by the municipality. This would allow the City Council to conduct its own
2
review of the materials submitted, including the minutes and recommended amounts by the
LTAC, to come up with its own proposed distribution of the revenue for any of the applicants,
which may be the same or different from the LTAC recommendation. If it is different, the City
must give the LTAC 45 days to review and provide comments on the proposed revised
distribution before taking final action. Under this option, the process would also be delayed
considerably as well, due to the additional 45 days for the LTAC review and opportunity to
comment. Further, though this is an option, it is one that is untested in the courts and may face
additional scrutiny for appearing to take away the recommendation from the LTAC. The City
used this option in 2017 for the 2018 awards to ensure transparency and the public confidence
due to questions from the public that arose during the LTAC review and recommendation
process. To date, there have been no such issues identified with the LTAC review and
recommendation process this year for the 2020 awards.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: l move to deduct $450,000 from the available
Lodging Tax funds for distribution in 2020 and move those funds into the 1.3% Lodging Tax
Fund account dedicated for a large sports venue or venues for tourism facilities that generate
overnight guests; and to make the following allocation of Lodging Tax funds for calendar year
2020:
HUB Sports Center - $55, 020
JAKT — Crave NW - $18,600
JAKT — Farmers Market - $8,000
JAKT — Oktoberfest - $8,400
Northwest Winterfest - $48, 000
Spokane County Fair & Expo $66,000
Spokane Sports Commission - $45, 000
Valleyfest - $18,600
Valleyfest Cycle Celebration - $1, 380
Visit Spokane - $50, 000
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2020 Proposed Budget includes total revenues of
$656,000 including $650,000 of lodging taxes. Total expenditures are budgeted at $825,000
including $30,000 to offset advertising at CenterPlace and up to $795,000 to be allocated
through this award process. The $795,000 includes the $345,000 available for recommended
awards by the LTAC as well as $450,000 the LTAC recommended for the Council to deduct
from the available funds for the award distributions for 2020 and transfer that amount into the
1.3% Lodging Tax Fund account dedicated for a large sports venue or venues for tourism
facilities. Total expenditures are expected to exceed total revenues by $169,000 and this will be
offset through the use of a portion of the fund balance. The fund balance at the conclusion of
2020 is expected to be $163,929 which should be adequate to cover cash flow needs.

90s'; said our valley has been plagued by elected officials who make questionable public policy choices;
said our city has run into management problems from crumbling buildings to unclear development
decisions; said he is thankful for the upcoming year with a new city council with members eager to listen

Mr. John llarding, Spokane Valley; said the previous person who mentioned a holy war, that everyone

create an argument then understand the reasons of what is going on, and said context is important; said he'd
be curious about how our Council feels about holding onto the investigation thous our representative as
people should ask for the report and where the investigation is, and that it should have been made public,

Re: Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Lodging Tax Revenues
Lodging Tax Award Recipients:
The Spokane Valley region (along with the rest of the world) has recently experienced the effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since mid -March, there have been a series of orders issued by the
federal and state governments that have significantly and detrimentally affected the local
economy. These effects are significant in the service industries in particular, and the hospitality
industry and area hotels are expected to be substantially impacted.
With the expected impacts to area hotels, City staff also anticipate a dramatic decrease in lodging
tax revenues collected by the City. Staff are currently looking at revising estimates of lodging tax
revenue collections. If a significant reduction in revenues were to occur, the City may need to
modify existing lodging tax award contracts for 2020 in order to stay within revenue collections.
Staff will be discussing this issue with City Council in the upcoming weeks. New information
will be communicated to all award recipients as it becomes available. If you have questions,
please contact me by email at ctaylor@spokanevalley.org or by telephone at 720-5040.
