ROLL CALL: City Clerk Bainbridge called roll; all Councilmembers were present.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins, seconded and unanimously agreed
to approve the agenda.
ACTION ITEM:
1. Motion Consideration: Submittal of Project Workplans to Transportation Improvement Board Complete
Streets Program — Adam Jackson
It was moved by Councilmember Higgins and seconded to authorize the City Manager or designee to submit
workplan requests for the 8th Avenue Sidewalk project and the Park Road Sidewalk project as described
above, to TIB's Complete Streets Program. Mr. Jackson briefly went over the background for this motion;
mentioned the possibility of leftover funds and said any leftover funds could be used to make sidewalks
ADA (Americans with Disability Act) compliant; said that ultimately TIB makes the evaluation of what is
submitted, and then they give us the award. Mayor Haley invited public comments; no comments were
offered. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
NON -ACTION ITEMS:
2. Sculptures Placement — John Bottelli
Director Bottelli went through the PowerPoint showing the various sculptures and current locations,
including those set for the future Balfour Park, and noting the several sculptures with a site not yet
determined. Through his spreadsheet, Mr. Bottelli entered each Councilmember's sculpture location
suggestions. Much of Council's discussions on where to place a sculpture included wanting a place that is
a save, visible location; and for the Huckleberry Daze, perhaps a place that would attract children, like near
a grade school or even Discovery Park. Following is the consensus of Council for the placement of the
sculptures: install Heart of the Valley and The Ascent in the future Balfour Park, Indomitable Spirit at the
Appleway Trail Trailhead on University Road; instruct staff to pursue installation of Huckleberry Daze at
or near Central Valley High School, Soulmates inside the future Spokane Valley Performing Arts Center
(if constructed), and the Owl Woman Calls your Name at or near the Pines Cemetery operated by the
Fairmount Memorial Association. Mr. Hohman mentioned that the piece Soulmates was offered to the
Council Meeting Minutes, Study Session: 02-15-2022 Page 1 of 4

DRAFT
library as a backup plan in case the Performing Arts Center doesn't come to fruition; and said the library
declined the piece.
Mr. Dick Denenny was invited to the table and he introduced himself as one of the original City
Councilmembers, and also as one who helped start the Valley Arts Council; said the Arts Council wanted
to get the art out so people can enjoy it and make kids aware of the art and what it means; and he
acknowledged that the problem is cost and to also have a place where the art piece is at least somewhat
protected; he sked Councilmembers to think about the art and to feel free to give him input on what kind of
art they would like to see and ideas of where to place it; maybe something that introduces people to the
valley or something perhaps related to the agriculture. Councilmember Woodard mentioned the idea of an
art trail that would introduce the public to the art, and maybe have handouts to the hotels about those art
pieces. Mr. Hohman added that staff is working on a hard copy and digital version of handouts and a map
to show the placement of the sculptures, adding that we have yet another donated piece from the Wolff
Company of the dragonflies sculpture. Council thanked Mr. Denenny for his input and work on the arts
council.
3. Interlocal Agreement with Spokane County for Appleway Trail Parklets — Cary Driskell, John Bottelli
Mr. Basinger explained that staff is here to give some context on the status of this issue; and he went over
some of the background included on the Request for Council Action form. He also mentioned the former
Milwaukee right-of-way and mentioned that members of the community were frustrated with not having a
safe place to travel; he said the collaborative agreement allowed us to develop a trail on that property; and
noted we have been working on this for a long time, and said the interlocal was executed by the City and
Spokane County in June 2012 to allow for the construction and maintenance of the now Appleway Trail,
from University Road to Tschirley Road.
City Attorney Driskell said staff discussed with the County about how to amend the interlocal in order to
facilitate an interchange between businesses and the trail; and he explained the material changes such as
cleaning up the definitions, and changing the primary responsibility from the County to the City; and that
it also makes clear that the City is responsible for payment of all assessments on the property such as
stormwater charges. Director Bottelli also noted this will help us turn this trail into a more viable asset for
our citizens. Brief Council discussion included mention of stormwater fees; anticipated license fees; the
County's administrative cost; improving property not owned by the City; and of the Council's overall
interest in trying to get ownership of that area. There were no objections to bringing this back for a motion
consideration at a future meeting.
4. Process for Trespass from City Facilities — Erik Lamb
Deputy City Manager Lamb explained that the purpose of this draft ordinance is to provide for a policy to
remove an individual from City property who is engaging in conduct that is dangerous, illegal or unduly
disruptive, as explained in his Request for Council Action. There were no objections to bringing this back
for a first reading a future meeting.
5. City Manager Evaluation Process — John Whitehead
Mr. Whitehead stated that tonight is an opportunity to review the evaluation process for the City Manager
position; said the documents included in tonight's packet are all draft so they can be edited per Council.
Mr. Whitehead went through the guide, further explaining that the process puts emphasis on goal attainment
as a performance measure. There was Council discussion about the goals and their dependence on other
factors. Mr. Whitehead stated that the goals should be flexible, attainable, and realistic; and said that if
Council desires, he could help Council construct goals; said that the idea is to make sure the goals are
discussed between Council and the City Manager. Mr. Whitehead also noted that at the end of the evaluation
process, Council would meet in executive session for the actual evaluation. Several Councilmembers
Council Meeting Minutes, Study Session: 02-15-2022 Page 2 of 4
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
expressed their liking of the process and all Councilmembers nodded in agreement that staff move this
forward to finalize the documents.
6. Community and Public Works Director Position — John Hohman
Mr. Hohman gave some background about the former Public Works Department and the Community and
Economic Development Department and of their consolidation, which included elimination of two director
positions. He explained that at that time, the Deputy City Manager assumed the role of the director positions
in addition to the other administrative responsibilities that support the City Manager. He noted that in
examining the number of direct -reports to management, it is difficult to keep focus and that he is requesting
consensus to approve one full-time equivalent (FTE) which would give us a total staff of 103.25; that he is
requesting is a director level position for Community and Public Works to assist him in providing the
guidance for the high performance staff we have; and to allow the City Manager to focus on the larger
efficiency of the larger working parts of the organization. Mr. Hohman stated that the proposed
organizational structure will better use the expertise of the newly appointed Deputy City Manager to focus
on coordinating our public safety needs. Mr. Hohman added that there has never been an administrative
assistant in Finance, so with the public using the portal more, there has been less walk-in traffic, so he will
be shifting one of the front employees at the front counter to assist in Finance; and if Council is agreeable
with these changes, Finance Director Taylor will include the changes when we present a budget amendment
to Council. There was unanimous consensus to move forward as Mr. Hohman proposed.
7. Advance Agenda — Mayor Haley
Councilmember Woodard asked that Council get a report on the piece of property across from Mirabeau
Park that has weeds, and to see how to best use that parcel, particularly in parking; said we need to have a
better image then just weeds, and that he would like to talk about possible uses. There was a majority of
Councilmembers who agreed to include this on an advance agenda.
8. Avista Stadium Improvements
This item was for information only and was not reported or discussed.
9. Council Comments — Mayor Haley
Councilmember Woodard mentioned the Continuum of Care's retreat he attended and said that the packet
of information wall be copied and distributed to Council for discussion next week. Councilmember Wick
thanked Senator Padden for testifying on the senate version of the transportation package, which
unfortunately was defeated.
10. City Manager Comments — John Hohman
In connection with Councilmember Wick's comments, Mr. Hohman stated that Senator Padden tried to get
us an allocation for the Pines Grade Separation project; and when that didn't go through, he tried a different
path by creating a funding for rail crossings for funds to be distributed through the Freight Mobility
Strategic Investment Board, which we just recently learned also did not make it through, but there might
be some goals there that can be met; he said that our lobbyist Ms. Briahna Murray has been working
diligently on that and he mentioned her e-mailed update which informed us that House Bill 1782 which
would have pre-empted or local control, is now dead and she credited our Spokane Valley team and some
prominent citizens for getting the word out about that bill; he said that Ms. Murray continued working on
HB 1660, which is the ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) bill which narrowly passed the house by 50 to 48;
said Representative Chase has been a strong advocate on our behalf and offered amendments which were
rejected, but Mr. Hohman said Ms. Murray feels that helped narrow the vote; he noted the transportation
package is still moving forward and there will be more testimony opportunities. Concerning Balfour Park,
Mr. Hohman showed the diagram of the final design for the park, which he said goes out for bid Friday;
and he went over the different areas of the diagram; he also noted that the Library District's bids for the
library are scheduled to come in Thursday. Additionally, he noted that Mr. Whitehead reminded him that

through the labor negotiations, there we have the June 19th holiday, which will be brought to Council in an

GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY I11: Mayor Haley invited public comments.
Ms. Pam Marlow, Spokane Valley: (via zoom) said she met with Chief Ellis and his assistant today and
that they were very informative as far as the number of calls and resources going into her neighborhood;
said there were hundreds of calls to Eagle Point but not all were criminally -related; said perhaps Chief Ellis
could also talk to the apaitinent managers/owners about having more accountability; and said she looks
forward to continued support.
Ms. Jennifer Wilcox, Spokane Valley: (via zoom) she mentioned a previous citizen's comment and of a
lack of behavioral protocol; said the comments should have been called out as a point of order to correct
the citizen's behavior; said she realizes it is difficult managing citizen comments but closer adherence needs
to be given to the Governance Manual and that it is the Mayor's duty to maintain the dignity of the meeting.

reading. Deputy City Manager Lamb explained about this proposed process, and that it would apply to all City
property, and in order not to infringe upon Constitutional consideration, a policy is needed; that this trespass
would be done in those instances in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare, and would apply in
cases where individuals engage in conduct that is dangerous, illegal or unduly disruptive. Mayor Haley invited
public comments; none were offered. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion

3. Motion Consideration: Approval of Sculpture Placements — John Bottelli
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins and seconded to install Heart of the Valley and the Ascent in the
future Balfour Park; Indomitable Spirit at Appleway Trail Trailhead on University Rd, and to instruct staff
to pursue the installation of Huckleberry Daze at a site to be agreed upon by Council, Soulmates inside the
future Spokane Valley Performing Arts Center (if constructed), and the Owl Woman Calls Your Name at
or near the Pines Cemetery operated by the Fairmount Memorial Association. Director Bottelli
acknowledged last week's meeting and the discussion of where to place each sculpture including the
installation of Huckleberry Daze at or near Central Valley High School, and he noted the different verbiage
given in tonight's motion by Deputy Mayor Higgins. Councilmember Peetz asked if something occurred at
the agenda prep meeting, and she asked Deputy Mayor Higgins his reason for changing that portion of the
motion. Councilmember Higgins said at the end of last week's meeting, Council had not really firmly
decided as to whether or not to place the bear sculpture at Central Valley High School, which already has
three bears, or at a park where it would get maximum exposure to the children; and since it wasn't firmly
established, said he thought the motion went a little far and he took the liberty of changing it from the
recommended motion; and to clarify, said the previous meeting had at or near Central Valley High School,
and his motion substituted that for at a site to be agreed upon by Council so the question is still open for
discussion. Mayor Haley invited public comment. Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley: (via zoom) said she
would like to see the bear placed where kids can enjoy it, like Greenacres or another park; said if we give
this to one high school, what would we give the others. Ms. Jennifer Wilcox: (via zoom) said she attended
last week's meeting and she thanked Council, staff and Mr. Bottelli for the well thought out process and
consideration for what the community members might want.
Discussion ensued about where to place the bear sculpture, with Councilmember Peetz stating that it seemed
the direction was clear last week on where to locate the sculpture and that the majority of Council wanted it
near or at Central Valley; said the kids took the time to come to City Council to give their thoughts about this
and therefore, she will vote against this as she feels the bear should be placed as indicated last week; said it
will be taken care of and will be lit, and she said she wanted to thank the students who did come to the city
council meeting as it is sometimes hard for students to give public comment and get involved. Councilmember
Wick mentioned the apparent themes at the different parks, like the barnyard theme at Greenacres, or a beach
theme at Browns Park; and said he feels CV is a great representation of bears; mentioned that bronze statutes
get hot when it is hot outside; and said he is supportive of that placement now or in the future; and feels that at
or around CV would be appropriate. Councilmember Hattenburg said he would concur with at or near Central
Valley. Councilmember Woodard said the artist would greatly appreciate having this in a park or where large
numbers of children gather, particularly small kids; and he recommended removing that section of the motion
to address that in the future; said it would be nice to hear from a representative from each high school, and that
Council should see what we can do to encourage the arts council to create for the other schools; said he is not
opposed to placing it at Central Valley, but we need to be careful that no one school gets all the attention and
the other schools don't get any. Deputy Mayor Higgins said his motion would have the same effect. Vote by
acclamation: in favor: Mayor Haley, Deputy Mayor Higgins, and Councilmembers Padden, Wick, and
Woodard. Opposed: Councilmembers Peetz and Hattenburg. Motion carried.
4. Motion Consideration: Potential Grant Opportunity: City Safety Program — Adam Jackson
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins and seconded to authorize the City Manager or designee to apply for
the City Safety Program grant for all eight projects identified in rank order as shown in Table 1. Mr. Jackson
went over the information about the program as noted in his PowerPoint presentation; said that today's motion
is to determine which projects to apply for; said it is not likely we would be awarded more than $3 million, but
one or two million is reasonable; that if awarded, staff would return to Council to identify the local match if
necessary. Mayor Haley invited public comment. Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: regarding the Pines
Separation project, said we are addressing one end of the problem on Pines at Trent but not addressing another
problem on the other end just north of the freeway where the rail line blocks Pines; said he has sat there for
fifteen minutes sometimes; plus adding housing up on the hill behind the water tower will dump more traffic

onto Pines; said how can we fix it if we only fix one end. There were no other public comments. Vote by
acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
5. Motion Consideration: Potential Grant Opportunity; National Highway Freight Program — Adam Jackson
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins and seconded to authorize the City Manager or designee to apply for
NHFP grants for the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project, Sullivan Road/Trent Avenue Interchange
Project, and the Argonne Road/I-90 Bridge Project. Mr. Jackson briefly went over the background information
contained in the Request for Council Action form and said that he will be finalizing the cost update over the
next week. Mayor Haley invited public comments; no public comments were offered. Vote by acclamation: in
favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY 121: Mayor Haley invited public comments.
Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley: (via zoom); asked why we need a code enforcement department; said
previous Chief Warner and Mr. Rick Scott were supposed to have signed an agreement to get the
neighborhoods cleaned up, but said that never happened; and asked why have code enforcement if they
won't enforce the code.
Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: said an under reported and under appreciated nationwide issue is school
kids bringing drugs on school campus with the main culprit fentanyl, said we have an open southern border;
he mentioned the opioid epidemic and of individuals carrying large amounts of illegal and deadly drugs;
said maybe have this issue addressed by having deputies give meetings at schools to inform the kids if they
make one mistake, it could be deadly; he said the DEA is stating that this is a national security issue, and
he urged Council to do something to try to address this issue.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
6. Potential Grant Opportunity: RAISE Grants — Adam Jackson
Mr. Jackson went over the information contained in the Request for Council Action, and explained that
staff recommends submitting the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project to this call for projects; said
Council agrees, he will return to Council March 8 for a motion consideration. Council concurred.
7. Potential Grant Opportunity: Spokane Regional Transportation Council — Adam Jackson
Mr. Jackson explained that SRTC announced its call for projects which makes available over $43 million
for participating governments; said the program requires a minimum 13.5% non-federal match, and he went
over the projects, the fund type, and the available funds as shown in Table 1 of his Request for Council
Action form, he then went over the recommended project submittals as shown in prioritized Table 2 on the
Request for Council Action. Mr. Jackson said that staff requests Council consensus to develop the
recommended project list and return to Council March 8, 2022 for a motion consideration to authorize the
City Manager to submit the prioritized project list to SRTC. After Council discussion about some of the
projects, including the I90 bridge design, except for Councilmember Padden, there was consensus for Mr.
Jackson to return March 8 for a motion consideration.
8. Fair and Expo Center — Bill Helbig, Mike Basinger
Mr. Hohman said that the last time Council heard about this project, we were working on an economic
development administration grant, that staff has been diligently working on that and reviewing it with the
EDA (Economic Development Administration) which has received some comments, some of which we
share such as the outdated 2019 cost estimate; said we have enlisted the services of OAC Services and Mr.
Jonathan Miller from OAC is here as well as some of our construction management team; said that some
of the lessons we learned concerning vertical construction is that we need to involve individual construction
management experts as quickly as possible once a project is initiated; and in that regard, said we are happy
to have Mr. Miller who will give an overview of some of the concerns with the price; he said that Mr.
Basinger will discuss the EDA grant; and added that staff has spent considerable time to determine what
recommendation to present to Council tonight.
Council Meeting Minutes, Formal: 02-22-2022 Page 4 of 6
Approved by Council:
Draft
Community and Public Works Director Helbig reiterated that since we don't have in-house expertise in
vertical construction, staff issued an RFQ (request for qualifications) to provide project management for
this project; said four firms submitted their RFQ and staff selected OAC. OAC Services Senior Project
Manager Miller went over a little of his background and said that he has a good grasp of the construction
industry in our area; said he was asked to look at two scenarios, i.e. what can we get for the initial $10
million, and what would it actually cost to get the full 32,300 square feet identified in the previous
programming Mr. Miller said he took his estimate escalated out to 2023 and factored the costs into that
estimation; said to track all the costs that are involved in the project, the cost would typically be 70 to 75%
that would be in the construction value; which means for the total project cost of $10 million, we would be
looking at about 21,000 square feet if the project were to start in 2023; for the total 32,000 square feet, he
said the total project cost would be about $14 million. There was brief discussion about the attached budgets
and what would be included in the costs. Mr. Hohman added that the County might have other ideas for
those parking lots from what is shown.
Director Basinger said staff has been working with EDA to make our application more competitive; said in
his discussions with the review team, this grant has become highly competitive, and that they would likely
not accept anything over $5 million even though they have a $10 million limit; said we started with a $3.5
million grant; said EDA is very concerned with our cost estimate which is now approximately $14 million
so questioned how we could make up the difference; said the EDA is also concerned about the lack of
hospitality beneficiary forms; said to date we have support from the Spokane Valley Mall, Latah Creek
Winery, and other agencies and organizations; and although staff reached out for support, Comfort Inn
Suites was the only hospitality industry that responded, which is a major concern to the EDA; and that
based on the aforementioned, staff is recommending withdrawing the application which would allow us to
refine the application and give time to develop the support of the hospitality industry.
In response to Councilmember Padden's question about how long the state money is available, City
Manager Hohman said it would likely be for another year or two; he mentioned the hoteliers wanted to see
a sports complex, and said he feels it is time to have those conversations about the changing conditions;
said something to further examine is do we focus on one project or several projects; but said that the bigger
question is, does the community have a preferred project; said that over time there has been disappointment
from the community that the City didn't just go with the sports complex idea, but it would be beyond us to
be the only one to fund such a project; said the City was looking at different improvements that were in the
vicinity of a $2+ million loss every year; said that it needs to be discussed about whether to fund such a
sports complex and if so, and there needs to be partners to work with us. Councilmember Padden asked
about the stadium and the baseball teams. Mr. Hohman said we had set aside $1 million for design for this
project, and that staff would like to use a portion of that to work with the County and refine the design to
see how there might be some compatibility with the stadium improvements. After further discussion about
the stadium owned by the County but within our City limits; that the hotel room nights calculations needs
to be further investigated; and about sticking within the budget and/or having a smaller project; there was
Council consensus to withdraw the ARPA Tourism (EDA) grant application to further refine the project's
benefits to the regional economy.
9. Advance Agenda — Mayor Haley
Councilmember Woodard said for a future meeting, he would like a discussion concerning the contents of
the Senior Center Agreement. A majority of Councilmembers agreed to include that item on the advance
agenda.

CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
City Manager Hohman said that Congresswoman McMorris-Rodgers will be here this Thursday morning
9:15 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. to talk about legislative items; said that the Mayor and Deputy Mayor are scheduled
to attend and he asked if other Councilmembers were interested in attending, and if a majority wants to
attend, we will schedule a special meeting, which requires 24 hours notice. All Councilmembers except
Councilmember Hattenburg indicated they would attend. Mr. Hohman said the Clerk's office will send out
a notice of special meeting tomorrow morning. He added that the meeting will be held in Council Chambers.
Concerning the public comment tonight about code enforcement, he extended thanks to them and to City
Attorney Driskell in working with the DNR to clean up a 100-acre site west of Mirabeau Park; said about
7,000 pounds of debris were removed from the site and staff is working with the DNR (Department of
Natural Resources) to trespass those in the area, while other agencies are working to help those individuals
find the services they need. On another code enforcement issue, the clean up process for the Best Road
property has stalled a bit as the property owner did some things with the demolition permit that were not
quite legal so now there is a mix of asbestos and other materials; said the cleanup now involves specialties
contractors. Mr. Driskell said staff is working to designate the area as an unfit dwelling which would allow
us recover some of the funds expended in the cleanup.
Mr. Hohman mentioned that we got the Department of Ecology's notice of their final approval of our
Shoreline Master Program; and concerning the sculpture placement item, said our and the Arts Council's
goal was to get these placed as soon as possible and he asked Council to think about a particular location
for the bear sculpture so we can bring that back to Council March 8 or 15.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting

21-008 to Spokane and Spokane County, the City has completed the legal process for terminating its
participation in the regional TPA. Pursuant to the terms of the interlocal agreement, however, the City will

Page 1 of 4
December 31, 2022. Tonight's report is based upon Council's January 11, 2022 request to further discuss
the City's withdrawal and termination from the TPA interlocal. If the City does nothing further, and a new
TPA is not formed as discussed below, the assessments by Spokane Valley hoteliers will cease to be
collected on December 31, 2022.
A. Information on process to form a Spokane Valley TPA - If the Spokane Valley hoteliers desire to create
a Spokane Valley TPA, they would be required to comply with the process set forth in chapter 35.101
RCW. The City would seek opportunities to engage with the City's hoteliers on how to successfully
complete the statutory process. If this path is chosen, there will be important timelines to keep in mind, as
set forth more below.
Pursuant to RCW 35.101.020, an initiation petition "must be presented to the (City Council)." The initiation
petition must include the following:
(1) A description of the boundaries of the proposed area;
(2) The proposed uses and projects to which the proposed revenue from the charge shall be put
and the total estimated costs;
(3) The estimated rate for the charge with a proposed breakdown by class of lodging business if
such classification is to be used; and
(4) The signatures of the persons who operate lodging businesses in the proposed area who would
pay sixty percent or more of the proposed charges.
Pursuant to RCW 35.101.030, once an initiation petition meeting these criteria has been submitted to the
City, the Council would need to provide notice pursuant to RCW 35.101.060, and schedule a hearing and
motion to adopt a resolution of intention to establish an area, with that resolution stating as follows:
(1) The time and place of a hearing to be held by the legislative authority to consider the
establishment of an area;
(2) A description of boundaries in the proposed area;
(3) The proposed area uses and projects to which the proposed revenues from the charge shall be
dedicated and the total estimated cost of projects; and
(4) The estimated rate or rates of the charge with a proposed breakdown of classifications as
described in RCW 35.101.050.
Pursuant to RCW 35.101.050, these are the limitations on lodging charges:
(1) There shall not be more than six classifications upon which a charge can be imposed;
(2) Classifications can be based upon the number of rooms, room revenue, or location within the
area;
(3) Each classification may have its own rate, which shall be expressed in terms of nights of stay;
and
(4) In no case may the rate under this section be in excess of two dollars per night of stay.
The Legislature in 2020 adopted a new provision, RCW 35.101.057, which allows the Council to impose
an additional charge of up to $3.00 per night, for a total maximum of up to $5.00 per night. RCW
35.101.057 expires July 1, 2027 unless the Legislature extends that time period.
As noted above, once an initiation petition has been presented pursuant to RCW 35.101.020, Council shall
conduct a hearing pursuant to RCW 35.101.060 to consider adoption of a resolution of intention to establish
a TPA. At that hearing, the Council "shall hear all protests and receive evidence for or against the proposed
action. The legislative authority may continue the hearing from time to time. Proceedings shall terminate if
protest is made by the lodging businesses in the area which would pay a majority of the proposed charges."
RCW 35.101.070.
Page 2 of 4
Following that hearing, assuming the proceedings were not terminated due to protests by a majority of
lodging businesses, Council could adopt an ordinance establishing a TPA, which could include the entire
City or an identified portion thereof. If Council does so, the ordinance shall contain the following:
(1) The number, date, and title of the resolution of intention pursuant to which it was adopted;
(2) The time and place the hearing was held concerning the formation of the area;
(3) The description of the boundaries of the area;
(4) The initial or additional rate of charges to be imposed with a breakdown by classification, if
such classification is used;
(5) A statement that an area has been established; and
(6) The uses to which the charge revenue shall be put. Uses shall conform to the uses declared in
the initiation petition under RCW 35.101.020.
From the standpoint of administering the TPA, the state Department of Revenue (DOR) would collect the
funds and remit them monthly to the City, which would require a contract between the City and DOR.
Pursuant to RCW 35.101.130, if the City creates a TPA under this process, the City Council "shall have
sole discretion as to how the revenue derived from the charge is to be used to promote tourism that increases
the number of tourists to the area. The allowable uses for TPA funds are as follows:
activities and expenditures designed to increase tourism and convention business,
including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information
for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists, and operating tourism destination
marketing organizations.
The legislative authority may appoint existing advisory boards or commissions to make recommendations
as to its use, or the legislative authority may create a new advisory board or commission for that purpose."
An example would be utilizing the existing Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to consider proposals from
entities seeking funds for authorized uses, with the final allocation decision by the Council.
Attached is data provided by the regional Tourism Promotion Area/Visit Spokane showing the revenue
generated from the assessment for 2018-2021. The amount of TPA assessment collected in Spokane Valley
for 2021 was $731,569.05. A change in the nightly rate from $2 per room night to $4 per room night was
effective on April 1, 2021, applicable to all hotels subject to the assessment including those in Spokane
Valley.
Revenues for the regional TPA revenue historically were about $3 million annually at $2.00 per room night,
with 72% directly allocated to Visit Spokane and 28% to the Spokane Sports Commission. Also, the County
has historically reserved a minor amount for annual grant awards. In 2022, $50,000 is allocated for this
grant program. An example of grant awards under this program is JAKT (Crave) was awarded $7,000 in
2020.
As noted above, if there is a desire to form a Spokane Valley -only TPA, and if the goal is to not have a gap
in collections with assessments from a City TPA beginning January 1, 2023, then the City will need to
provide the Washington State Department of Revenue at least 75 days advance notice of adoption of the
ordinance, discussed above, or October 15, 2022. We would need to provide adequate time for the hoteliers
to formulate the petition, circulate it, get sufficient signatures from participating hoteliers, work with the
City to draft and present an ordinance for Council approval, and leave sufficient time to publish the
ordinance as required by state law.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Public Safety Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Washington RCW 39.34 (Interlocal Cooperation Act)
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council periodically considers the provision of public
safety services from Spokane County. Council has approved all of the currently applicable
interlocal agreements related to public safety, including Law Enforcement, Prosecution, Public
Defense, Detention Services, and District Court.
BACKGROUND: Public safety has been and continues to be a priority for City Council and the
City. The City currently contracts for the majority of its public safety services, including Law
Enforcement, Prosecution, Public Defense, Detention Services, and District Court with Spokane
County through interlocal agreements. In the 2022 Budget, public safety costs are the largest
expense item and account for 61.6% of recurring general fund expenditures. Given the
importance of public safety to City Council and the City as well as the significant risk of impact to
the City's budget, the City continuously monitors and manages the public safety contracts through
its Contract Administration group, which consists of two full-time employees under the Deputy
City Manager.
Tonight staff will provide an overview of recent and ongoing items and issues in 2022 that are
likely to have significant impact on the City's budget or provision of public safety services. This
is just an overview so that Council can be aware of upcoming items. Each item will be brought
forward for future and more detailed discussion, for input from City Council, and where necessary
for final decision -making by City Council. The following are items that staff are currently aware
will need to be discussed and addressed in 2022:
1. Law Enforcement
a. Interlocal Agreement Amendment
b. Interlocal Agreement Term and Rollover
c. Collective Bargaining Agreements
i. Impacts in 2022-2024
d. Dispatch Costs — Spokane Regional Emergency Communications (SREC)
e. Gangs and Violent Crime
f. White Elephant Property
2. Detention Services

costs and another $1,562,000 in nonrecurring costs.
