City Manager's Budget Message
2023 Annual Budget
Dear Citizens, Mayor and City Council of Spokane Valley:
I'm honored to be presenting the 2023 annual budget message and to be following the sound
financial path that City Council and the previous City Manager collectively developed. This has
been a challenging year nationally with record inflation not seen in forty years, dramatically
increased energy and food prices, a war in Ukraine that has further disrupted supply chains
already stressed from the COVID-19 Pandemic, and uncertainty about where the economy is
headed. However, the City has a long history of making prudent financial decisions dating back
to our 2003 incorporation. We have engaged in consistently responsible budgeting including
realistic revenue projections, controlled spending, limited the growth of City programs, and have
adhered to the key Fiscal Policies noted in following pages. We are delivering a budget that will
comfortably allow the City to continue to deliver status quo levels of service throughout 2023 while
at the same time financing another aggressive capital improvement program.
Budget Development Goals
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 General Fund ending 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.
Even in light of the financial uncertainty we've faced over the past several years I am pleased to
report that each of these goals have again been achieved in the 2023 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 ending fund balance
that exceeds 50% of recurring expenditures for capital construction projects that are important to
the City Council and Community. Following this policy of transferring the fund balance in excess
of 50%, since 2013, City Councils have made the decision to transfer $42.5 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 Barker/BNSF Grade Separation Project,
• completed a new section of Garland Avenue stretching from Flora Road to Barker Road,
1
• acquired 17.7 acres of land in the Ponderosa area for future park development,
• acquired 45 acres of land located east of Flora Road and north of the Spokane River for future
park development, and
• acquired an additional 3.16 acres adjacent to the police precinct for potential future expansion.
The City has also set aside a portion of this money for future projects including:
• the Pines/BNSF Grade Separation Project,
• the Sullivan/Trent Interchange Replacement Project,
• Barker Corridor Projects, 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, the circumstances under which 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 and operational sense to do so.
3. Work to incorporate the business plan process into the budget 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 1.01% of its total debt capacity, and more importantly,
only 5.06% 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. Commit to the strategy that the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 will not be
reduced below $3.3 million (60% of $5.5 million) without City Council approval. If Council
should deem this necessary, the City will then first replenish Fund#121 to at least$3.3 million
before any annual General Fund transfers are made to Capital Reserve Fund #312.
5. Maintain the 2023 property tax assessment at a level to support ongoing City operations. For
the 2023 levy, we anticipate this will result in a levy of $13,169,200 plus estimated new
2
construction of$400,000 for a total levy of$13,569,200. Any allowable potential increase not
taken will be banked for future use as provided by law.
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.
2023 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 Operating and
Capital budgets.
Moderate Growth in Recurring General Fund Expenditures
Investing in the essential core services identified by the Council and Community is the foundation
of the programs and related expenditures we include 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 2023. The revenue and expenditure figures included in the 2023 Budget are each considerably
higher than in previous years and this is a reflection of the impact of inflation being seen at a
national level.
3
Increases at the point of budget adoption over the past 9-years have been:
Recurring
Revenues Expenditures
2023 compared to 2022 2.26% 5.94%
2022 compared to 2021 8.73% 7.66%
2021 compared to 2020 2.20% 5.14%
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%
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 2023 Budget. Public safety costs
including law enforcement, courts, prosecution, public defense and jail related services represent
the City's primary operating expenditure and total $32,771,515 which is a 7.05% increase over
the 2022 Amended Budget. Noteworthy about the public safety budget are the following
observations:
• It represents 61.8% of the 2023 General Fund recurring expenditure budget ($32,771,515 /
$53,030,555).
• It is equivalent to 242% of anticipated 2023 property tax collections ($32,771,515 /
$13,569,200). In other words, if property taxes were to double, they alone would not be
sufficient to cover Spokane Valley's public safety commitment.
Staffing Levels
The full-time equivalent employee(FTE) count will increase by 2.00 from 103.25 in 2022 to 105.25
in 2023. This includes:
• a 1.0 FTE Paralegal position allocated 100% to the City Attorney's office that will allow for
consistency in preparing code enforcement documents and performing legal research.
• a 1.0 FTE Traffic Signal Technician position allocated 100% to the Street O&M Fund #101 to
provide signal work for the City's traffic network. This will be offset by a reduction in costs for
the County Signal Shop services.
4
The FTE count allocated among City funds is as follows:
Difference
2022 2023 Between
Budget as New 2023 2022 and
Amended Positions Budget 2023
General Fund #001 81.845 1.00 82.845 1.00
Street O&M Fund #101 7.475 1.00 8.475 1.00
Street Capital Projects Fund #303 9.80 0.00 9.80 0.00
Stormwater Fund #402 4.13 0.00 4.13 0.00
103.25 2.00 105.25 2.00
The personnel costs for the 82.85 FTEs charged to the General Fund represent just 21.96% 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 city of our size 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 1,018
citizens (= population of 107,100 per the Office of Financial Management population estimate /
105.25 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 continues to be a lean, productive City
government.
Pavement Preservation
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.
Beginning in 2012, the City initiated a program of expending general fund, special revenue fund
and capital project fund revenues and reserves for the purpose of financing our street preservation
efforts. In 2023, our community will again see an aggressive program of caring for roadways
including the potential of a pilot surface treatment program that would be new to Spokane Valley.
For 2023, we project total revenues in Pavement Preservation Fund #311 of $6,546,800 that
combined with $1,308,321 of fund reserves will be applied against $7,855,121 in projected
expenditures. Sources of revenue in 2023 are anticipated to include $1,700,000 from the Street
Wear fee that was adopted by Council in 2018, $1,760,000 in grant proceeds and $3,086,800 in
transfers from other City funds consisting of:
• $1,011,800 from the General Fund
• $1,037,500 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
5
• $1,037,500 from REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
While Pavement Preservation is one of our critical service and budget priorities, we are not
sustaining adequate levels of funding for this program. This is discussed further in the
"Challenges" portion of this budget message.
Transportation and Infrastructure
The 2023 Budget includes $30,029,433 of capital expenditures that we anticipate will be in-part
offset with $13,219,062 in grant revenues which results in 44.02% of capital projects being
financed with State and Federal dollars. The capital expenditures we'll incur in 2023 partially
include:
• $2,059,585 from the General Fund:
o $500,000 for the replacement of financial management software.
o $181,000 for Information Technology equipment acquisitions.
o $8,500 for office equipment.
o $20,000 for the installation of security cameras at the Precinct.
o $1,350,085 for the replacement of Police vehicles.
• $80,000 for equipment including signal maintenance equipment and streetlight replacement
in Street Fund #101.
• $33,500 for broadcast equipment from PEG Fund #107.
• $9.2 million in Street Capital Projects Fund #303.
• $4.8 million in Park Capital Projects Fund #309.
• $7.8 million in Pavement Preservation Fund #311.
• $3.95 million in Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund #314.
• $1.6 million in Stormwater Fund #402 and Aquifer Protection Area Fund #403.
• $513,000 from Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund #501 that includes
o $55,000 for the replacement of a vehicle in Engineering,
o $70,000 for the replacement of a vehicle in the Street operation,
o $58,000 for the addition of a signal maintenance truck for our Street operation,
o $55,000 for the replacement of a vehicle in the Stormwater operation, and
o $275,000 for the replacement of an existing snowplow.
Challenges
Beyond the annual challenge of balancing the General Fund budget, the City of Spokane Valley
has several 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.
• Gas Tax - Because this tax is a fixed amount per gallon, and because each generation of
newer vehicles get better gas mileage, we have found that from year to year, this revenue
source has hovered somewhere between flat or slightly declining. Added to this decline
in revenues was the COVID-19 pandemic event which led to an increase in people working
from home and the significant inflation of fuel prices seen during 2022. The gas tax
revenues over the past 5-years is as follows:
O 2019 - $2,026,698
O 2020 - $1,745,193
O 2021 - $1,909,947
6
O 2022 - $1,904,000 (budgeted)
O 2023 - $2,071,300 (budgeted)
• Telephone Utility Tax — This 6% tax generated $3,050,000 in the first year of collections
which occurred in 2009. In the ensuing 10-years running from 2010 to 2019, as people
made the shift from utilizing both land lines and cell phones to just cell phones, this
revenue source declined by nearly 50% to just $1,563,981. This decay in revenues was
further exacerbated in 2020 and continued into 2021 with the advent and fallout of the
COVID-19 pandemic event where people were looking to cut costs and consequently cut
many of the remaining land lines at an increased rate. At this point we're projecting 2023
telephone utility tax revenues of just $857,000 which is greater than 70% less than 2009
collections.
• Because of the stagnant gas tax revenues and ongoing decline in telephone utility tax
revenues, 2023 will be the seventh consecutive year of budgeted recurring expenditures
exceeding recurring revenues.
o We have been able to continue to deliver historic levels of service over this period by
doing the following:
■ 2017 —a $328,000 operating deficit was resolved by drawing down fund reserves.
■ 2018 —a $415,000 operating deficit was resolved by drawing down fund reserves.
■ 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.
■ 2020—a $1,365,000 operating deficit was resolved through a transfer from Capital
Project Fund #312.
■ 2021 — a $2,552,600 operating deficit was resolved through a transfer from the
General Fund #001.
2022 — an anticipated operating deficit of $3,084,919 will be resolved through a
direct transfer from the General Fund #001.
2023 — an anticipated operating deficit of $3,530,048 will be resolved through a
direct transfer from the General Fund #001
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.
o Following is a table that reflects pavement preservation related revenues over the 12-
year period 2011 through 2023:

• The City used 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.
• In the years leading up to 2020 we existed in a fairly robust economy and beginning in
2017, following the depletion of Fund #123 reserves, we began applying a portion of our
strong Real Estate Excise Tax(REET)collections towards pavement preservation. During
this time frame we recognized that when the economy inevitably waned in the future, so
too would REET revenues, and a consequence of over reliance on that source of money
could 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.
• For a number of years Spokane Valley struggled to develop a pavement management
plan that clearly delineated 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.
• The results of one of our most recent studies was communicated to Council on April 2,
2019 and this answered several questions including how pavement management
resources should be allocated between the local access, collector and arterial portions of
our street network. This study also showed that the pavement condition index (PCI) of
City streets is currently holding fairly steady at a rating of 76 (out of 100) which is
considered to be in the "Good" category.
• Council has historically committed to continuing to evaluate our pavement management
program and has asked Staff to research a variety of pavement treatments beyond our
historic use of crack sealing and grind and overlays.
• In 2021, the City conducted its first public outreach effort focused on its Pavement
Management Program (PMP).
• Council created the Street Sustainability Committee (SSC) to assist the City in its
public outreach efforts as related to the long-term goals of the PMP. The SSC
goals included:
1. Evaluate citizens' interest and support for maintaining city streets and
suggesting pavement condition goals.
8
2. Identify preferences for maintaining city streets, types of treatments used,
and long-term levels of service.
3. Investigate current revenues and potential future funding sources for
maintaining city streets at the recommended level of service and fully
funding Street O&M Fund #101, Street Capital Projects Fund #303 and
Pavement Preservation Fund #311.
• The SSC included 23 leaders representing a broad range of community
stakeholders. Between March and October, seventeen public meetings occurred,
including seven SSC meetings, seven community meetings, and three open
houses.
• Two surveys were created:
• Collectively, the public outreach resulted in nine recommendations/findings:
1. The pavement condition of City streets is described as "fair" or better.
2. The PMP should be prioritized in the City's budget planning process.
3. Survey respondents support increasing the prioritization of local access
streets.
4. Implement surface treatments in the PMP.
5. Increase PMP funding to maintain the streets in their current condition.
6. Do not reduce funding of other City programs to increase funding of the
PMP.
7. Transportation Benefit District is the most-preferred funding option.
8. Survey respondents indicate new funding should evenly distribute the
cost to everyone.
9. PMP funding should not rely on annual surplus fund transfers.
• Through 2022, City Council and staff have begun implementing a few of the
recommendations/findings:
1. Create a 2023 open-order pavement preservation contract specifically for
local access streets funded by Solid Waste Fund 106; including the
potential use of surface treatments.
2. Evaluate the potential implementation of a 2023 surface treatment pilot
project.
3. Evaluate the new revenue methods to sustain the PMP, including Street
O&M Fund 101, Street Capital Projects Fund #303 and Pavement
Preservation Fund #311.
3. Railroad Grade Separation Proiects (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 $40.0 million with $37.3 million of this
secured thus far),
• Sullivan/Trent Interchange Project (estimated cost of$43 million)
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 Governments over the past several
years and will continue to do so into the future.
9
Barker/Trent Grade Separation Project
We reached the point of being fully funded for this project in early 2018. Design was
completed in 2020 and we have acquired all necessary right-of-way with the exception of one
parcel upon which we received notification of a Cert 3 acceptance. Construction funds were
obligated in late 2020 and the project was also put out to bid. Construction on the project
began in the spring of 2021 and is anticipated to conclude in the fall of 2022.
Pines / Trent Grade Separation Project
The project is nearing the completion of the design phase having attained environmental
approval mid-2022. We anticipate the project cost will be $40.0 million. The City successfully
applied for a federal Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity
(RAISE) grant and was awarded $21.7 million. The project has received sufficient federal
funds but the City needs to secure matching state or local funds prior to initiating the
construction phase of the project. The City is actively pursuing options for this funding.
Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2024.
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 economic development efforts include:
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 2023 Budget to continue this
effort.
Planned Action Ordinance (PAO)— 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,
resulted in a streamlined environmental permitting process in the northeast industrial area of our
community. This study completed the environmental permitting requirements for the northeast
industrial area which led to the development of a Planned Action Ordinance (PAO) adopted by
Council March 12, 2019. The PAO saves 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". Since adoption of the PAO, nearly all of the total available 459 acres have been
purchased and are in various stages of planning, construction, or are occupied with vibrant
additions to our local economy.
10
Northeast Industrial Area— In addition to the adoption of the Planned Action Ordinance the City
has engaged in a number of capital projects in our Northeast Industrial Area that resulted in the
expansion and improvement of our infrastructure and have the dual benefit of improving our road
system and making the area more attractive for future economic development. These include:
• In 2019 we rebuilt Barker Road 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, in 2020 we completed a project that began in 2019
that resulted in the construction of a new one-mile section of Garland Avenue that stretches
from Flora to Barker. This new stretch of road made 150 additional acres of industrial property
accessible to development.
• The City began a construction project in 2020 that was nearly completed in 2021 that rebuilt
Barker Road from Euclid Avenue running south to the Spokane River. Portions of the project
that remain consist of a shared use path for pedestrian and bicycle traffic that will be
constructed in 2023 and the portion of the road crossing the Union Pacific rail line.
Housing — The City investigated many options for increasing housing supply among all
affordability levels. Staff has engaged several affordable housing agencies and developers to
locate suitable properties for these projects. This has been challenging since large (10+ acres) of
undeveloped land is not readily available. The City is working on redevelopment ideas while also
studying the possibility of annexing additional areas to provide room for this necessary growth.
The Budget for 2023
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 including those
experienced during the Great Recession that began in 2008, the COVID-19 Pandemic, and the
turbulent economic times that we are currently experiencing. The 2023 Budget again reflects a
prudent and guarded continuation of service delivery capabilities.
We will in the future, as we have in the past, continue to 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— recurring General Fund operating expenses and the programs they
support have been balanced with known or reasonably predictable recurring revenues with a
minimal increase in property tax and no increase in sales tax rates for the City. The budget is
designed to maintain the healthy, positive fund balance at year-end which provide 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 2023 and beyond.
11
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'
money and by adopting and adhering to prudent long-term fiscal policies, the City will in 2023
continue to provide levels of service on par with those we've provided in past years.
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 2023 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 2023 Budget.
Respectfully,
John Hohman
City Manager

TO: City Manager and Members of the City Council
FROM: Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
SUBJECT: About the 2023 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 considers unforeseen contingencies and
provides for the need for periodic adjustments.
2023 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 and
again with the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent inflation, 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
In mid-April 2022 the Finance Department notified City Departments that their 2023 revenue and
expenditure estimates were due by mid-May. Through the summer, 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 14, 2022. Following the workshop, the Finance
Department continued work on the budget including refinements of revenue and expenditure
estimates and through September, the Finance Department and City Manager reviewed updated
budget projections.
By the time the 2023 Budget is scheduled to be adopted on November 8, 2022, the Council will
have had an opportunity to discuss it on eight separate occasions, including three public hearings
to gather input from citizens:
June 14 Council budget workshop
August 30 Admin report: Estimated 2023 revenues and expenditures
September 13 Public hearing #1 on 2023 revenues and expenditures
October 4 City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2023 Budget
October 11 Public hearing #2 on 2023 Budget
October 25 First reading on ordinance adopting the 2023 Budget
November 8 Public hearing #3 on the 2023 Budget
November 8 Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2023 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.
• 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.
14
• 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.
15
There are four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
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
• #108 —Affordable & Supportive Housing Sales Tax 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 Proiect 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
• #314 — Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund
• #315 —Transportation Impact Fees Fund
• #316 — Economic Development Capital 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 position) is segregated into restricted, unrestricted, and invested
in capital assets classifications.
16
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
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
Fiduciary Fund Types
A third type of fund classification is the fiduciary funds that are used to account for activities
conducted for the benefit of those outside the City. Fiduciary funds have the same
measurement focus and basis of accounting as proprietary funds. Under this approach, the
operating statements for the fiduciary 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. Net position is always classified as restricted. The City uses one fund type in
this category:
1. Custodial Funds
These funds account for the fees and taxes collected by the City on behalf of other
governments, such as Washington State and Spokane County. Custodial Funds are
comprised of#632 — Passthrough Fees and Taxes 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, internal service, and fiduciary 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 and Fiduciary 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.
17
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:
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.
18
• 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.
• 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 2022 population figure used in the 2023 Budget is 107,100 as reported by the
Office of Financial Management (OFM) for Washington State on April 1, 2022. 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 2023
the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the distribution back to cities will be
$19.34 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 107,100 (per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2022) we anticipate the City will
collect$2,071,300 in 2023. RCW 47.30.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended
for paths and trails activities and based upon the 2023 revenue estimate, this compute to
$8,700. The balance of$2,062,600 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 $857,000 for 2023.
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 $8,700 in 2023. 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. The
hospitality industry, including hotels, was one of the industries affected the most by the COVID-
19 pandemic due to reduced travel as a result of the State's stay home order. This being the case,
the City experienced significant reductions in hotel/motel tax collections in 2020. These revenues
have recovered in 2022 and are now exceeding pre-pandemic levels. This tax is estimated to
generate $600,000 in 2023.
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. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as the recovery of this
20
revenue stream as described under Fund #104 above also apply to these revenues. This tax is
estimated to generate $900,000 in 2023.
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.
Affordable and Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund #108
In the year 2020, the Council authorized the City to collect the affordable and supportive sales
tax, which is a rebate of the State sales tax to cities and counties. The amount received by the
City is up to .0146% of the taxable retail sales within the City capped at the 2019 fiscal year
taxable retail sales. The department of Revenue has estimated this capped distribution to be
$200,000 for the City. The City will receive these revenues for 20 years, and the revenues may
only be used to support affordable housing within the City or for rental assistance as outlined in
RCW 82.14.540.
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, 2023, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue
will be $3,430,000.
• $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
21
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, 2023, the outstanding
balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $155,000.
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 had 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, 2023, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,225,000.
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 $1,951,000 in 2023.
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 2023. 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 2023:

Fund:103 Paths&Trails Fund Spokane Valley
2023 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 2023 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the
distribution back to cities will be$19.34 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 107,100(per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1,2022)we anticipate the City will collect$2,071,300 in 2023.
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 2023 revenue estimate this computes to$8,700. The balance or$2,062,600 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
2023 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$1,600,000 in 2022.
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.

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.The Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund will not be reduced to less than 60%of the current$5.5 million balance,
or$3.3 million,without Council approval. If Coucil should deem this necessary,the City will then first replenish Fund#121 to at
least$3.3 million before any annual General Fund transfers are made to the Capital Reserve Fund#312.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 2023 Budget Message located near the front of this budget
document.

Fund: 122 Winter Weather Reserve Fund Spokane Valley
2023 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 2022 and 2023 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
2023 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 1,2023,the outstanding balance on this
portion of the bond issue will be$3,430,000.
• $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 1,2023,the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue will be$155,000.
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 1,2023,the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,225,000.

Fund:309 Park Capital Projects Fund Spokane Valley
2023 Budget
The Park Capital Projects Fund was created to account for park related capital improvements. The source of financing
typically consists of an annual transfer from the General Fund#001;however,in some years the City will utilize money
set aside for capital projects in other funds. This has occurred with transfers in from the Paths and Trails Fund#103 and
the Capital Reserve Fund#312,which have been applied towards various sections of the Appleway Trail project and
frontage improvements at Balfour Park.

- 2023 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.Construction on the frontage
improvements occurred in 2021 and 2022 and the construction of the new library began in 2022.
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.

Fund:311 Pavement Preservation Fund Spokane Valley
2023 Budget
This fund was created during the 2011 Budget development process for the purpose of setting money aside for
yet to be determined street capital improvement projects. Since inception,the pavement preservation program has

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 2021 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 2023 funding level representing approximately 6%of General Fund recurring expenditures is$3,086,800 and that this level
of funding is sustainable through 2026 assuming a General Fund contribution of$1,011,800 and a collective contribution of
$2,075,000 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.

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 2022 and 2023 are related to design and right of way costs for the Pines Road Underpass project and the right of
way and construction costs for the Barker Road Overpass project. Design work is also beginning for the Sullivan Road
Interchange.

2023 Budget
Beginning in 2021,the City began collecting transportation impact fees allowed pursuant to RCW 82.02.050-82.02.110 and
SVMC 22.100.These are fees specifically allowed to address impacts from new development and they may be imposed on
all developments within a designated area.The City has performed several studies to determine the impact areas on which
the fees are being imposed. All fees collected must be applied to transportation system improvements identified in the
corresponding study.

Fund:316 Economic Development Capital Projects Fund Spokane Valley
2023 Budget
In 2015,the City contracted with Community Attributes Inc.to develop a Retail Improvement Strategy and Action Plan. This
plan led to another study with Community Attributes in 2016 to further explore tourism as an economic driver. The resulting
2016 Tourism Plan identified nine projects,including an expanded mixed-use facility around the Fairground and Avista
Stadium,for future development. These projects would likely boost tourism and help anchor the City's leisure and retail
community.
Over the next several years,the City continued more in-depth analysis of some of the projects identified in the Tourism Plan
and moved forward on several smaller projects. In 2020,the City began discussions with Spokane County regarding the
concept of expanding the Expo Center to create additional space and versatility to attract and support multiple conferences
and special events. The new Expo Center at the County Fairgrounds was estimated to cost$10 million;however,after doing
some preliminary design work,the cost was estimated to be much greater than that amount.As such,the project has been
put on hold and funding has been reallocated.The 2022 budget reflects actual costs incurred for preliminary design.

Fund:403 Aquifer Protection Area Fund Spokane Valley
2023 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
2023 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.
