PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Chapter 3.30 SVMC was originally adopted in 2002 with minor revisions in 2015, and amended by Ordinance 22-024, approved on November 22, 2022. Resolution 08-024 establishing petty cash funds was originally adopted in December of 2008, and amended by resolution 11-001 in January of 2011. Both resolutions were repealed and replaced by resolution 21-006 in September of 2021. BACKGROUND: CenterPlace currently does not have any operating cash on hand for making change for customers. The proposed resolution will establish two new change funds, one in the amount of $400, and the other in the amount of $200 for CenterPlace to allow it to operate more efficiently. These amounts mirror the change funds established for the permit center. This will allow for maintaining sufficient quantities of various denominations to allow for effective making of change without frequent trips to banks for converting back to useable denominations. Additionally, it has been determined that the size of the Main Reception petty cash fund, currently at $200, is excessive for the current usage. Reducing this to $50 continues to provide an appropriate amount for the typical transactions, without having unnecessary cash on hand. The three other funds: Building cash one at $400, Building cash two at $200, and Parks & Recreation petty cash at $50 will remain as they are. This will bring the total of the City's petty cash, change and working funds to $1,300. OPTIONS: Move to approve Resolution 22-022; or take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve Resolution 22-022. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None anticipated.

This discussion is the first review with the City Council. BACKGROUND: Mike Pieper of Cardinal Infrastructure will present potential items for the 2023 Federal Legislative Agenda and provide an opportunity for City Council discussion. This year we are bringing forth the federal legislative agenda a bit earlier than usual to get some general direction. Following this administrative report, the project descriptions will be further developed with updated financial information for the next review. 2022 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AGENDA STATUS REPORT The 2022 federal agenda resulted in some big successes, particularly related to funding of at - grade rail crossing safety awareness and improvements. Notably, three 2022 agenda items received support at the federal level: Pines Road/BNSF GSP, Trent/Sullivan Interchange and South Barker Road Corridor. 1. Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project — Federal funding award — Yes. This project received nearly $21.7 million in Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program funds this year. The project has also secured contributions from Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) and Avista Utilities. BNSF Railway will contribute towards a portion of the railroad bridge costs and is planning to partner with the City for early bridge construction. The project has potential to receive an additional $5 million from Senator Murray's Congressionally Directed Spending request and an additional $5 million from WSDOT's Move Ahead Washington Railroad Crossing Program. If the WSDOT $5 million is secured, the project will be fully funded and satisfy the federal/non-federal funding requirements. 2. Trent/Sullivan Interchange (Formerly Bigelow Gulch & Sullivan Road Corridor Project) — Activity has occurred with federal award pending. The project received $1.2 million from WSDOT's National Highway Freight Program and $1.4 million from SRTC. Representative McMorris Rodgers included $2.65 million in funding for this project in the House of Representative's draft appropriations bill that passed the House. It is possible this project will be combined with the draft Senate Bill and passed as part of a larger omnibus appropriations bill in mid -December. Page 1 of 3 3. South Barker Road Corridor — Federal funding award — Yes. The Sprague & Barker Roundabout project was completed in 2022, making it the first completed segment of the corridor. The $2.7 million project was funded by the City, SRTC and WSDOT's City Safety Program. The City received a $3 million Congressionally Directed Spending Award in 2022 intended for initiating the project's right-of-way acquisition phase. The City requested $12.9 million in the 2022 Federal Legislative Agenda to address multiple roadway and intersection reconstruction improvement projects. The City was also awarded $1.1 million from SRTC to partially fund the segment of Barker Road between Appleway Ave. and Sprague Ave. The City will continue to seek a variety of funding opportunities to complete this corridor, including revenues generated by the South Barker Corridor Impact Fees. PROPOSED 2023 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AGENDA The proposed 2023 Federal Legislative Agenda items include funding requests for three priority projects as well as three policy considerations. Staff is working with Cardinal Infrastructure to develop and update the project costs and details for the next discussion. 1. South Barker Road Corridor Projects — The Barker Road corridor parallels the eastern boundary of Spokane Valley. The road intersects with Interstate 90 providing access to more than 800 acres of industrial property and 220 acres of homes. The area is experiencing rapid industrial growth north of the interstate and expanding residential neighborhoods south of the interstate in Spokane County and east in the City of Liberty Lake. Barker Road is a key arterial for vehicles accessing Interstate 90 or the east -west Sprague Avenue corridor. 2. Trent/Sullivan Interchange — The City of Spokane Valley plans to redesign and reconstruct the interchange at Sullivan Road and Trent Avenue (SR 290). This project is currently in the design phase and federal funding is requested for replacement of the Sullivan Road bridge over Trent Avenue and the adjacent bridge over the BNSF Railway track. (The preferred alternative will be presented later in December.) With traffic growth in the area, along with the connection of Bigelow Gulch Road to the Sullivan/Wellesley intersection, the city anticipates the interchange as currently configured will fail to handle the traffic volumes by year 2030. The bridge clearance over Trent Avenue does not meet current standards. The bridge has been repaired six times in the last 10 years after being struck by vehicles passing under. Both the bridges over Trent Avenue and the BNSF Railway will be replaced to support the additional traffic demand and allow expansion of the BNSF mainline. Additionally, the length of on -ramps at the interchange also does not meet current standards. 3. 1-90 Bridge Widening at Argonne/Mullan Roads Project — The City of Spokane Valley requests federal funding assistance for the Argonne Road bridge over Interstate 90. The bridge improvements will be a companion project to Spokane Transit Authority's (STA) Park and Ride facility proposed at Interstate 90's south side between Argonne and Mullan Roads. STA is awaiting award announcements for a $10 million regional mobility grant to deliver this project. Should STA be successful in its request, the timing of the City's project may require an earlier design. The City of Spokane Valley received $1.3 million from SRTC in 2022 for a preliminary alternatives analysis. This analysis will require a coordinated effort between the City, WSDOT, and STA. Page 2 of 3 4. Policy Consideration #1 — Reauthorization of the Economic Development Administration (EDA): The City of Spokane Valley supports the reauthorization of the Economic Development Administration (EDA), with funding to carry out its mission of "promoting innovation and competitiveness, preparing American regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy." The City encourages Congress to continue to direct EDA investments at regional and local projects, rather than funding distributed directly to state governments. This flow of funding remains aligned with the EDA's original 1965 authorization and mission. With opportunities for EDA to modernize programs by way of this reauthorization, the City urges Congress to remain traditional in the aspect of direct regional and local investments. 5. Policy Consideration #2 - Continued Funding at the Authorized Levels for IIJA/BIL Programs: The City supports continued funding at the authorized levels for programs included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (IIJA/BIL). Given the unprecedented growth and maintenance needs of existing infrastructure within the region, the City encourages Congress to continue to support the levels of funding provided under the IIJA. The City fully supports robust oversight of the Federal Department of Transportation by Congress of the projects and programs funded under the IIJA and offers assistance in providing information supporting the level of funding that has been made available. The City encourages Members of Congress to visit the region and see first-hand the extraordinary growth driving the infrastructure improvements and the City's wise stewardship of these funds. 6. Policy Consideration #3 - Implement Reforms to the Infrastructure Permitting Process: The City encourages federal agencies to move swiftly to implement the reforms to the infrastructure permitting process as required under FAST 41 and revised under the IIJA. As the City continues to experience unprecedented growth, streamlining permitting could help address critical safety and infrastructure needs, stimulate economic activity, and provide more employment opportunities. The City encourages Congress, in its oversight role, to encourage the Administration to move expeditiously on implementing these reforms and to ensure that such reforms have practical applications on the implementation of the IIJA.

The road intersects with Interstate 90 providing access to more than 800 acres of industrial property and 220 acres of homes. The area is experiencing rapid industrial growth north of the interstate and expanding residential neighborhoods south of the interstate in Spokane County and east in the City of Liberty Lake. Barker Road is a key arterial for vehicles accessing Interstate 90 or the east -west Sprague Avenue corridor. Trent/Sullivan Interchange Project The City of Spokane Valley plans to redesign and reconstruct the interchange at Sullivan Road and Trent Avenue (SR 290). This project is currently in the design phase and federal funding is requested for replacement of the Sullivan Road bridge over Trent Avenue and the adjacent bridge over the BNSF Railway track. A preferred alternative will be selected later in December. With traffic growth in the area, along with the connection of Bigelow Gulch Road to the Sullivan/Wellesley intersection, the city anticipates the interchange as currently configured will fail to handle the traffic volumes by year 2030. The bridge clearance over Trent Avenue does not meet current standards. The bridge has been repaired six times in the last 10 years after being struck by vehicles passing under. Both the bridges over Trent Avenue and the BNSF Railway will be replaced to support the additional traffic demand and allow expansion of the BNSF mainline. Additionally, the length of on -ramps at the interchange also does not meet current standards.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 39.34.080 – Interlocal Agreements. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None. BACKGROUND: The City of Millwood does not have in-house staff or software to process applications for building plan review, and currently receives these services through an interlocal agreement with Spokane County. Millwood Mayor Freeman contacted the City to inquire whether Spokane Valley had the capacity and willingness to provide these services for Millwood. Staff determined the City could provide those services to Millwood without any reduction in level of service for City customers, and without material impact on our workload due to the low frequency with which the services would be needed by Millwood. Staff further discussed with Mayor Freeman that Spokane Valley may occasionally need the services of Millwood’s Planner, Christina Janssen, to supplement our staff for specific projects. Ms. Janssen previously worked as a Planner for the City, so staff are familiar with her capabilities. In those instances, the City would timely request Ms. Janssen’s assistance on a project basis, which would be approved depending on her availability. Under these terms, Millwood could make Ms. Janssen available to assist the City. Millwood applicants would be subject to the same fees as established in the City’s current Master Fee Schedule, and would additionally pay for one license fee for access to the on-line permitting system. In those instances where the City utilized the services of Millwood’s Planner, the City would pay Millwood $65 per hour worked. This proposed interlocal agreement provides an opportunity for Spokane Valley and Millwood to collaboratively provide for the citizens of both entities without any apparent negative consequences for either. The agreement would continue until one or both parties gave at least 60 days’ advance notice of termination. City staff would continue to monitor workflow issues to ensure that service to our citizens is not negatively impacted by continuation of the agreement. OPTIONS: (1) Place on a future agenda for motion consideration; or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus to place on the December 13, 2022 agenda for motion consideration. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This is expected to be revenue neutral because our fees are set at an amount to recover actual costs. STAFF CONTACT: Cary Driskell, City Attorney. ___________________________________________________________________________ ATTACHMENTS: Draft interlocal agreement for provision of plan review services and planning services.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: The Master Fee Schedule setting 2022 fees was amended via Resolution #22-009 which was adopted by the City Council on May 31, 2022. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Although the revenue impact of City fees is included in the 2023 Budget, no previous Council action has been taken nor have discussions taken place regarding changes to the attached proposed Resolution #22-XXX. Revenues generated by the fee resolution in 2023 account for: • $3,805,600 or 6.75% of total General Fund recurring revenues of $56,418,900. • $1,951,000 or 99.9% of total Stormwater Management Fund recurring revenues of $1,912,000. BACKGROUND: Part of the annual operating budget development process involves City Departments reviewing the Master Fee Schedule that is currently in place and determining whether changes in the fees charged and/or language used in the governing resolution should be altered. Recommended changes to the fee schedule are as follows: • Under Schedule A — Planning — The Community and Public Works Department is proposing fees increase by the automatic increase implemented in 2021. This increase is the lesser of 80% of the change from September to September of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), West Region, or 4%. The actual CPI increase as of September 2022 was 8.30%, and 80% of that was 6.64%, meaning that the automatic increase for 2023 was calculated at 4%. The 4% increase did not affect any fees of $12 or less. • Under Schedule B — Building - The Community and Public Works Department is proposing fees increase by the automatic increase implemented in 2021, as described above under Schedule A.

The Stormwater Utility, an enterprise fund, is funded through the collection of Storm and Surface Utility (Utility) fees from developed parcels located within the City, and the Spokane County Aquifer Protection Area (APA) fee. The Stormwater Utility Fee of $21 per year is assessed uniformly on single family residences, duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes. All other developed property is charged $21 for every 3,160 square feet of measured impervious surface area or equivalent residential unit (ERU). The current stormwater rate is expected to generate about $1.9 million in 2022 to City Fund 402. The fee was established when the City incorporated and is in the adopted Master Fee Schedule. The Stormwater Utility Fee has not increased since 2003. The APA fee, a voter adopted fee, is imposed on each water meter within the City by water meter size. The APA funds are collected by Spokane County, county -wide and distributed proportionately to local jurisdictions. APA funds must be "expended entirely on stormwater related projects that are designed to protect the aquifer." Without a regional public vote, this fee will sunset in November of 2024. This fee is expected to generate about $460,000 in 2022 to City Fund 403. The City has recently developed a Stormwater Utility Plan to establish the Tong -term goals of the Utility, identify solutions to adverse stormwater conditions, aging and non-standard stormwater facilities, address capacity and water quality issues, identify strategies necessary to ensure compliance with the MS4 permit and UIC programs, and develop a sustainable financial plan for the utility. The Stormwater Utility Plan identified two Level of Service (LOS) recommendations, Minimum Required and Pro -Active. The Levels of Service recommendations guided a Stormwater Utility Rate Study and recommendations for potential stormwater utility rate structures and fees. November 9, 2022 Page 2 of 2 The public had the opportunity to provide input through a survey and public meeting held on October 20, 2022. Most of the respondents support a Pro -Active LOS. The Minimum Required LOS increases the Stormwater Utility Rate by $24/year to $45/year per ERU. This rate increase includes funding for an additional 3.0 full time employees (FTEs). Currently, there are 4.13 FTEs funded by the Stormwater Utility. The estimated 2023 revenue for this LOS is $4.4 million. The Pro -Active LOS increases the Stormwater Utility Rate by $371year to $58/year per ERU. This rate increase includes funding for an additional 7.0 FTEs from the existing staffing levels. The estimated 2023 revenue for this LOS is $5.6 million. By adopting a LOS standard and associated stormwater fee, the City's Stormwater Utility will have the ability to meet all required federal, state, and local standards, as well as provide for continued maintenance and development of the City's stormwater facilities. On October 25, 2022, Council reached consensus to adopt the Pro -Active LOS and November 9, 2022, Council passed a motion adopting the Pro -Active LOS and increasing the stormwater utility fee to $58 per year with an annual increase consistent with the consumer price index. *Wane .o•OValley PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT John Buttelli, Parks &Recreation Director 2426 North Discovety Place ♦ Spokane Valley, WA 99216 Phone: (509) 720-5200 • Fax: (509) 720-5250 Entail: parksandrec@spokanevalley.org Memorandum Date: November 4, 2022 To: Spokane Valley City Council From: John Bottelli, Parks & Recreation Director Re: 2023 Master Fee Schedule Update Parks & Recreation is requesting the following changes to Schedule C of the 2023 Master Fee Schedule: AQUATICS 1. Swim Team fee increased from $60 to $75. Explanation: After performing an analysis of swim team expenses (staffing costs for practices and meets, t-shirts and miscellaneous supplies) the proposed fee of $75 seeks to recover our costs while keeping swim team an affordable option for families in Spokane Valley. A comparison Spokane County and City of Spokane aquatics fees is also provided. CENTERPLACE Note: Rental rates at CenterPlace have not increased in 14 years (since 2009). For 2023, adjustments to the fee schedule are proposed to clarify and simplify certain pricing and to add prices for new available items while overall CenterPlace Operations are evaluated. Changes proposed for 2023 are as follows: 1. Auditorium fees condensed to include AV in the rental rate. Explanation: 2021 rates for the Auditorium are confusing with two options: with -and -without an additional AV rental fee of $262. The AV system is built into the auditorium and requires no additional setup. Rates were combined and ultimately reduced to increase use of the space. 2. Meeting Room Damage Deposit fees increased from $52 to $75. Explanation: Most damage deposits are returned to the customer. A modest increase was made to the meeting room deposit amount to provide additional security for our assets and to align with the damage deposit we collect for park shelter reservations ($75). 3. Outdoor Venue Damage Deposit fee of $500 added. I Explanation: No Refundable Damage Deposit exists for the West Lawn Plaza or North Meadow at CenterPlace so staff has been utilizing the $500 wedding deposit for events on the West Lawn. This formalizes a Refundable Damage Deposit for outdoor events on the Plaza or North Meadow in order to protect our assets in the event of damage. Note that most damage deposits are returned to customers. 4. Cleanup fee renamed Self -catered event fee and revised to reference the room location instead of group size as follows: Meeting Rooms at $52; Fireside Lounge at $210; Great Room at $500. Explanation: The 2021 fees are confusing to customers. These changes do not result in increased fees. 5. Bluetooth Speaker fee of $75 added for use of new equipment purchased for CenterPlace to offer groups. The Bluetooth speakers can be connected to a user's iPhone and include a hand-held or lapel microphone for speaking presentations.

Technical Note The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measures of the average change Fri prices over time in a fixed market basket of goods and services. The Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes CPIs for two population groups: (1) e CPI for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) which covers approximately 93 percent of the total U.S. populatton and (2) a CPI for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers (CPI-W) which covers approximately 29 percent of the total U.S. population. The CPI-U includes, in addition to wage earners and clerical workers, groups such as professional, managerial, and technical workers, the self-employed, short-term workers, the unemployed, and retirees and others not In the labor force. The CPI is based on prices of food, clothing, shelter, and fuels, transportation fares, charges for doctors and dentists' services, drugs, and the other goods and services that people buy far day-to-day living. Each month, prices are collected in 75 urban areas across the country from about 6,000 housing units and approximately 22,000 retail establishments -department stores, supermarkets, hospitals, filling stations, and other types of stores and service establishments. All taxes directly associated with the purchase and use of Items are included In the Index. The Index measures price changes from a designated reference date; for most of the CPI-U the reference base is 1482-84 equals 100. An Increase of 7 percent from the reference base, for example, is shown as 107.000. Alternatively, that relationship can also be expressed as the price of a base period market basket of goods and services rising from $100 to $107. For further details see the CPI home page on the Internet at www.bls goefeej and the CPI section of the BLS Handbook of Methods available on the Internet at www.bls,govlapub/horn/cpj. In calculating the Index, price changes for the various items In each location are averaged together with weights that represent their Importance in the spending of the appropriate population group. Local data are then combined to obtain a U.S. city average. Because the sample size of a local area Is smaller, the local area Index Is subject to substantially more sampling and other measurement error than the national Index. In addition, focal indexes are not adjusted for seasonal influences. As a result, local area Indexes show greater volatility than the national Index, although their long-term trends are quite similar. NOTE: Area indexes do not measure differences in the level of prices between cities; they only measure the average change in prices for each area since the base period.

Resolution 22- Fee Schedule for 2023 Page 20 of 20 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: December 6, 2022 Department Director Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report - Sprague Avenue Stormwater Pilot Project GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: • May 21, 2019 — Administrative Report regarding the details of the Water Quality Financial Assistance Agreement with the Department of Ecology • July 5, 2022 — Council reached consensus for a future motion consideration to terminate the Agreement with Ecology • August 30, 2022 — Administrative report regarding lane reduction for roadside swales and shorter crosswalk and implementation of a pilot project to evaluate impact and gather feedback; there was Council consensus to proceed forward with the three -lane Pilot project this fall BACKGROUND: The Sprague Avenue Stormwater Project - University Road to Herald Road will install stormwater treatment facilities to reduce the volume of pollutants that enter groundwater and the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie Sole Source Aquifer. The project will also install a crosswalk between City Hall and an STA bus stop at the new Library and Balfour Park. The design assumes that Sprague Avenue will be reduced to three lanes between Herald and University. A future phase of this project would reduce Sprague Avenue to four lanes between Herald and Park Roads. Currently, westbound Sprague Avenue has five lanes within the project limits and is three lanes east of University Road. The lane reduction allows use of the existing right-of-way to install the necessary storm drainage improvement facilities while also reducing the width to make it safer for pedestrians crossing Sprague Avenue. During the July 15, 2022 meeting, Council requested additional information regarding the performance of a 3-lane versus 4-lane project on Sprague Avenue. Both options were expected to reduce speeds and have excess vehicle capacity. A target of the project is to reduce 85th percentile speeds from 41.1 miles per hour (mph) to the posted speed of 35 mph or less; the 3- lane option comes closest to meeting this target based on the traffic model. Based on current peak hour volumes, a 3-lane section is expected to operate at 27% of capacity. The primary difference between the two options is the pedestrian crossing time. A 4-lane section takes approximately three seconds longer for a pedestrian to cross than a 3-lane section. This creates additional vehicle collision exposure for pedestrians and additional delay for vehicles on Sprague Avenue. Additionally, the 4-lane project would cost more to construct due to the need for underground stormwater treatment ("Filterra" type units) instead of the planned swales with the 3-lane option. With Council approval, staff completed a pilot project for five weeks that reduced Sprague Avenue from University to Herald Roads to three lanes using tubular markers on the two southern lanes. The pilot project also installed signs visible from the roadway and City Hall with directions to complete an online survey as part of the outreach for public feedback. Staff also provided media releases and spoke with news outlets regarding the project to solicit feedback. Traffic volume and speed counts were collected before the pilot project and during the 4th week of the pilot project to quantify volume and speed impacts of the lane reduction. When and if the project is implemented, the project would eliminate the north and south lane. PUBLIC INPUT & OUTREACH: In August 2022, staff reached out to all businesses along the current project limits from University to Herald Roads to describe the concept for the project. Of the 22 businesses contacted, staff met with 17 in person, all were supportive of the lane reduction/pedestrian crossing project. Staff also sent information via email to four businesses and two of them provided supportive replies. The other two did not provide a response. Staff was unable to contact only one business, the 45 Degree Brewhouse, which was unoccupied during the outreach process. Most of the businesses expressed concerns with speeding and crashes along this segment of Sprague. Some also mentioned that the existing street trees block visibility to their businesses and their signs. There were 296 responses gathered from the online survey. The survey results identify 32% of respondents in support of the project configuration and 63% of respondents opposed to the project configuration. The primary reasons for opposing the project were concerns about congestion and perceived wasteful spending. The primary reasons for supporting the project were speed reduction and improved safety. A full summary and output of the survey results is included as an attachment. Staff received 21 public comments outside of the online survey through phone calls, emails, or interviews with the media. Of these, 7 were in support of the project, 14 were opposed to the project. The primary reasons for support were for the reduction in speed and to make it safer for pedestrians. The primary reasons for opposition were related to inducing congestion and spending money to "undo" a project that added capacity in reference to the Sprague/Appleway couplet. A full summary and output of the direct contact comments is included as an attachment. PILOT STUDY RESULTS: Traffic data was collected in July 2021, in September 2022 (immediately before the pilot project), and in October 2022 (during the pilot project). Traffic volumes in October 2022 were lower than in September 2022 but consistent with volumes in 2021. The average speeds increased by 1.2 mph while 85th percentile speeds decreased by 1.1 mph. The number of vehicles driving over 50 mph reduced from 120+ per day to 83 per day. Data was also collected west of Herald Avenue (at the terminus of the pilot project) to determine if drivers accelerated when additional lanes were available. This was shown not to occur, with lower average speeds and consistent 85th percentile speeds as within the pilot project limits. SUMMARY: The findings of the data collection during the pilot project indicate that the traffic volumes on Sprague Avenue were not impeded by the 3-lane configuration. The increase in average speed and only slight reduction in 85th percentile speed illustrate that there is sufficient capacity to accommodate traffic volumes with only 3 lanes. Additionally, the reduction in excessive speeding (vehicles traveling over 50 mph) was reduced by 33 percent. Further, the fact that drivers did not decrease speeds with fewer travel lanes further strengthens the need to provide a crosswalk with as few lanes as necessary to reduce pedestrian exposure to traffic. The pilot study installed tubular markers that blocked two of the southern lanes of Sprague. This configuration made access from the south side difficult to gauge gaps on Sprague as it increased the offset to the traveled lanes. This is not anticipated to occur with the project as the 3-lane project would eliminate the north and south lanes using curb, resulting in better sight distance. The table below provides a summary of the data associated with the existing and proposed configuration, as well as a reminder of the 4-lane configuration.

CLFR funds may be utilized because the project is an eligible stormwater/water quality project for the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) per the EPA Overview of Clean Water State Revolving Eligibilities, dated May 2016. Currently, the City Council has not allocated $1,379,386 of CLFR funds. OPTIONS: 1) Advance the Sprague Avenue Stormwater project with a 3-lane configuration and allocate $884,445 of CLFR funds, or 2) take other action or no action. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Seeking consensus to the Sprague Avenue Stormwater project with a 3-lane configuration and allocate $884,445 of CLFR funds BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The project currently needs at least $884,445 to fund the construction phase which could be allocated from available CLFR funds which would require a future budget amendment.

I think most drivers where more conscious of their speeds however, directly after that segment they started passing other cars at faster speeds. People weren't making fast/aggressive lane changes to get across 5 lanes of traffic. It was easier to change lanes safely in time to make your turn because there were fewer lanes and people were driving more slowly. drivers were being cautious be of the revision. trying to figure out how to navigate new layout I live in the neighborhood one block north of Sprague. Drivers are racing through this section of Sprague every single night. I feel that the reduce lanes will slow the vehicles or reduce the number of vehicles in that section. I'm hopeful that the lane reduction will make the area safer for my elementary school aged kids. Also - aggressive driving increased - enforcement is a must! Easier to walk around But due to the slow down, some motorists were driving more aggressively and practiced lane weaving to get ahead. Some would tailgate due to the slow down and immediately speed when given the opportunity.

That is a very scary squeeze point because of the railroad overpass. I know this is not on the plan now but sincerely hope at some point something can be worked out to take this project further. Drivers switching lanes without signaling, rapid lane changes, drivers speeding up to get ahead of other drivers. People here can't drive appropriately and weave in and out of traffic and due to the congestion I was almost sideswiped several times.

It is Very cumbersome getting out of the shopping mall and going across the 2 lanes closed!!! I don't don't believe there is any positive benefits. If trying control speeders, please find another solution. Thanks. 14 you have 5 lanes there for a reason unless your engineers that designed it dont know shit i would listen to the first guy not the one trying to make a pet project by the shitty new city hall you should have just bought the old building i mean you guys did not even inspect the new building when it was being built 15 Speeding, lane changing without signals, following too close. 16 The lane reeducation has made it hazardous to visit Rosauers and city hall. It was so bad that I went through Rosauers parking lot to get to city hall. The cones block visibility to enter and exit the driveways on Sprague. Why does the city feel like it is appropriate to make Sprague and University more dangerous?!!! I shutter to think how bad it will be in the snow. 17 Thanks to your Sprague traffic -cone experiment, I now despise turning out onto Sprague from Rosauers with my groceries. There is no way I would ever want my grandkids with me in the car driving through your traffic cone experiment after school. The fast teenagers of summer are a perennial traffic problem, but they are a traffic problem made manageable with stop lights, traffic tickets, and heavy fines for speeding. The vast majority of perennial traffic problems and accidents in our area sadly involve winter driving conditions... which your traffic cone experiment fails to model adequately. Imagining your traffic -coned areas as swales filled with visibility -reducing trees and bushes when turning out onto Sprague is not an inviting scenario. The City of the Valley hasn't bothered to cut back its swale vegetation on Sullivan in summer, nor ever bothered to plow its Sullivan swale pedestrian trail in winter. I'd expect the same maintenance issues with Sprague. Imagining plow -ice -berm -blocked swales creating meltwater ponds across a narrowed Sprague in winter combined with yet another never -shoveled -in -winter impassible pedestrian trail/sidewalk behind them like the trail on Sullivan in winter is not an inviting scenario. Many people are forced to walk or bike along the snowplowed edges of Sprague in winter when ice berms have made sidewalks inaccessible and/or impassible. Planning sketches need to include walkers, bikers, bus riders, kids and old people struggling to navigate their way along the snowplowed edges of the proposed 3-lane Sprague between the ice berms and traffic of winter... or are the dead bodies of pedestrians on the ice in winter along the side of the road also part of the plan to slow down traffic on Sprague? We need a STOP LIGHT between City Hall and the new library. We need a serious STOP LIGHT to help regulate traffic speed down Sprague, not just some flashing "pedestrian crossing" signal lights. We need at least 4 lanes for traffic, not just 3, because we need to protect cars turning into and out of businesses on both sides of Sprague year-round, and we need sufficient width on both sides of Sprague to protect bikers and pedestrians when ice berms make their way impassible in the dead of winter. 18 Difficult to pull out of businesses into correct lanes, drivers unsure how to turn into businesses, brake checks happen often or improper turns from driving lanes 19 People cutting me off to change lanes.

We voted years ago to not make these roads two way streets because we like less traffic congestion. Please do not limit lanes. Don't make us like the Northside of spokane where it is impossible to get north. Leave the lanes. 31 It made it harder to get into business like Rousaurs, U-haul and city hall. I had a hard time seeing the driveways because of the cones. It was so bad I went through Rosaurs parking lot to get to city hall. 32 Exiting vehicles pulling out and not waiting or going too slow 33 Both options applied 34 Confusion... was made a 6 lane one way that has been reduced and reduced. Why did the valley waste the money to make 2 one lane roads to them reduce it to the same number of lanes? 35 Cutting in front of my vehicle to make left turns. 36 With cones all over the place it is hard to get an idea of typical behavior. 37 Drivers changing lanes to enter/exit business and roads severely slow down the far lanes pushing more drivers to the center which in turn makes the entire area most congested than necessary 38 Turning cars more often 39 Road rage people trying to get to the front of the line cutting other cars off 9/24/2022 3:56 PM 9/23/2022 8:14 PM 9/22/2022 12:42 PM 9/21/2022 10:51 PM 9/20/2022 4:37 PM 9/20/2022 8:04 AM 9/19/2022 9:48 PM 9/19/2022 4:14 PM 9/19/2022 2:17 PM 9/19/2022 6:10 AM 12/23 Sprague Avenue Pilot Project Q8 Do you favor or oppose a permanent lane reduction in this segment of Sprague Avenue?

Hopefully the swales will have bio-filtration beds because the ability to filter the runoff before it reaches the aquifer is critical to our clean water and the health of our species and the environment. Beautification is sorely needed on Sprague and if these are done correctly they will be an enhancement and the addition of foliage also surves to scrub the air we all breath. I read that some businesses have concerns about their signage. Some areas where I have traveled place signs with building address and building numbers low so that the driver can easily see these street side. They are usually placed horizontally BEFORE driveway. saves taxpayer money by eliminating maintenance, repair and restoration of unneeded pavement/infrastructure This needs to be done all the way to Thierman.

Use the space for better things... it's wasted as it is. I'm hoping that with the space left by two unused lanes, there will be room to have protected bike lanes (separated from car traffic with a barrier). Although I do not bike often, as a driver, I am always worried about people in bike lanes in the event that they have to swerve, or just being on a road as busy as Sprague where other drivers aren't always careful. Makes the street look nicer which in turn makes the city nicer which in turn increases businesses and residents. ALL NHTSA, NIH - Federal, State and International studies show it is safer 10 We were driving through this section last month when another driver, apparently thinking all five lanes were his, did an enormous u-turn and nearly ran right into us. This section doesn't need five lanes for traffic! It gives people the wrong idea about how fast they can go and how recklessly they can drive. 11 Like Monroe in Spokane, it will provide for more intimate traffic and subsequent business gains. 12 Protects water quality 13 I used to cross these segments of Sprague/Appleway daily when I lived in the area to catch the bus - it was extremely nerve-wracking and sketchy/unsafe! I've moved, but would love for other citizens in that area to have better experiences than I did! 14 I love the idea of additional green space. Sprague is not an attractive street to drive down. 15 It proves a dedicated, protected bike lane is very doable. 16 I work on this segment of Sprague near University Road at the fire station. From inside our building, you can constantly hear drivers FLYING past our building at 50+ mph at all times of day every single day. With easy access to 1-90 on nearby north/south running arterials, there will never realistically be a time when 5 lanes of traffic is necessary on this one lone section of road. The open nature of the 5-lane road without question contributes to speeding, and it's pretty risky watching people jaywalk between Sprague and Farr. With any luck this could even lay the groundwork for the formation of a small "downtown" Spokane Valley, and help form a better sense of Spokane Valley identity instead of just being sprawling suburbia. We also somewhat regularly respond to vehicle collisions at Sprague & University, because a vehicle turned the wrong direction out of the Taco Bell/Rosauers parking lot into opposing one-way traffic on Sprague. A reduction of lanes could make it more obvious for all vehicles turning out of the University shopping mall that traffic is one-way only and reduce collisions. People are going to complain. People are going to intentionally speed during the pilot to prove a point. The people complaining aren't going to have any real comprehension or understanding of city planning. For years i've loudly heard cars speeding by through the walls of my workplace and fully support this plan. 17 Potentially increased space for non -automobile traffic. 18 Better for businesses along as well 19 Though 1 would like to see drivers going slower through the entire length of Sprague Ave, 1 think this will only occur with tougher enforcement rather than less lanes. 20 Even if this wasn't providing the necessary amount of traffic lanes 1 would still support it. People can bike, walk, take the bus, etc. if traffic gets too bad. We shouldn't have to own a car to enjoy local businesses. 21 I've lived in the valley for 30 years. It's ridiculous that we have a five lane highway in what is supposed to be our downtown. Sprague's traffic pattern should be changed like the Main Ave corridor downtown near the community building. At least between University and Farr or Argonne. There should be parking, protected bike and pedestrian lanes, crosswalks with signals, landscaping, anything to increase the walk ability and decrease reliance on cars. The bus stop is a great idea as well. Please don't be dissuaded by NIMBYs that only want cars and box stores. Younger people want a walkable community, if you build it they will come. Businesses, customers, restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, cafes, customers. Thank you for pushing for these changes that will better downtown Spokane Valley for years to come! 10/12/2022 11:00 PM 10/12/2022 12:39 PM 10/11/2022 9:19 PM 10/11/2022 2:53 PM 10/11/2022 2:09 PM 10/11/2022 1:41 PM 10/6/2022 9:52 AM 10/4/2022 11:50 AM 10/3/2022 11:09 AM 9/28/2022 4:51 PM 9/24/2022 3:30 PM 9/21/2022 5:37 PM 9/20/2022 2:08 PM 9/19/2022 9:09 PM 9/19/2022 10:16 AM 9/19/2022 8:00 AM 15/23 Sprague Avenue Pilot Project 22 It will be safer to drive. i watch other drivers Making turns from the wrong lanes, some time's 9/19/2022 7:48 AM almost running into other cars just to make a turn from the wrong lane. also people really like to pass you if you are not going 10 mph over the speed limit. because they drive with a me first mind set. please do this all the way to 190. and also appleway for the same length of road. 190 to university. 16/23 Sprague Avenue Pilot Project Q10 Why do you oppose a permanent lane reduction?

Depressed Service -Level Aspirations: Of the half -dozen conventional levels of service the proposed service level is at the low end of the scale. Investment Opportunity Cost: Use the funds required to tear up the existing (and serviceable) road infrastructure toward a plan to extend Appleway beyond University. OR: install and maintain EFFECTIVE in -line pre-treatment facilities. OR: cover the EXPOSED aquifer areas (e.g. Thierman quarry and Sullivan quarry) I think reducing from 5 to 3 lanes will actually increase the possibility of accidents due to traffic having to wait for cars turning in the outside 2 lanes, with 5 lanes usually the through traffic will be in the middle 3 lanes and the turning traffic will be in the outside 2 lanes. Condensing from 5 to 3 lanes makes no sense to me and seems like a waste of money. I don't believe that this stretch of road currently has a high accident rate problem. I do not believe that our infrastructure is keeping up with the increase of population and to reduce Sprague lanes of traffic serves no purpose other than to bottle neck the traffic. If it's speeding that is a cause for concern, put in cameras. That would take the responsibility off the law enforcement officer. As far as a crosswalk...I have never in 60 years had to stop to allow a pedestrian cross in that area, however; I have had to stop further East of that area. If the city has that kind of money they need to spend, (I am aware that it is a different budget, but maybe priorities need to be rethought) maybe they should reallocate additional funds to the Fire Department and our Emergence First Responders instead of always putting it on the taxpayers to cover all the costs. Additionally, yes parks are beautiful IF they are maintained. We are having so much trouble with the homeless, another park with give them another place to pitch their tents and leave their trash and destroy bathroom facilities. I would not let my Grandchildren go and play without adult supervision, would you? Instead, let's keep up the walking trails. Trim back the weeds and cleanup the graffiti. I used to walk the trails but now I am afraid to walk them alone. Hobo's sleeping on and under the benches, blocking the restrooms etc.. This is a TOTAL waste of my money. In fact, I am absolutely exhausted thinking about tearing up a beautiful NEW street on someone's whim of a crosswalk. In the 50 years that I have driven Sprague, I have never seen anyone crossing that street . when needing to turn into a business on the south side, the left lane is busy with traffic going straight thus making congestion that is NOT needed. 8 In the winter when you have to plow, there will be even less room to drive. 9 Traffic increases every year and this creates a bottle neck 10 When traffic is restricted you find driver cutting in and out of lanes, trying to get around any congestion. The valley should make Appleway continue all the way out to Greenacres and change Sprague to a one way. 11 Remember when we had a bad winter and you used one lane to pile snow in? How will emergency vehicles be able to travel through there if there if there are only two lanes? 12 Tax dollars are to be used elsewhere 13 I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR IT!!!! 14 This is STUPID!!! I don't want to spend more money in taxes for this reduction"" 15 It's more unsafe and a waste of taxpayer monies 16 With the Spokane Valley becoming so much more populated. This is a really dumb idea! Why don't you finish the original idea to make Appleway go all the way thru to Sullivan, or even to Liberty Lake! 17 Another cost not needed. 18 I think it is difficult to navigate because it's a short segment and again, people seem confused/indecisive 19 Enforce the DAMN speed limits! Hire traffic enforcement police. 20 Needless expense and maintenance on greenery. Use that money for other projects. 21 One lane or five, the speed limit remains the same. This area does not need or warrant a 10/25/2022 2:16 PM 10/23/2022 12:06 PM 10/22/2022 12:27 PM 10/20/2022 9:14 PM 10/20/2022 6:50 PM 10/15/2022 12:30 AM 10/14/2022 10:05 AM 10/14/2022 8:20 AM 10/13/2022 5:19 PM 10/13/2022 5:15 PM 10/13/2022 5:12 PM 10/12/2022 10:01 PM 10/12/2022 7:07 PM 10/12/2022 9:44 AM 10/11/2022 8:31 PM 10/11/2022 7:27 PM 10/11/2022 7:11 PM 10/11/2022 5:07 PM 18/23 Sprague Avenue Pilot Project speed reduction. 22 It is costly to make the changes and what does it really do? It seems that to make crossing the road safely to get to the library could be accomplished by building an elevated crosswalk and leave the traffic patterns alone. It seems like silliness and voters can tell that the city fathers are NOT spending their own money for it. 23 Difficult to get out of businesses back into traffic due to car volume being down to 3 lanes. 4 would be better. 24 Maybe you can create a dedicated bike lane all the way to downtown or at least the pedestrian bridge for bike commuters and make it separate from cars. That would be a great lane reduction idea and reduce one lane pairing with storm drain management. 25 Cost, I'm tired of paying for you to play with Sprague Ave, return Sprague to two way traffic. 26 All of the above. It is not necessary to take away 2 lanes on a very small section of Sprague, IMHO. I would like to know why the city feels this needs to be done. If speeding is a factor, then find a better solution to address that. Not reduce lanes!! Thanks! 27 Historically you had to widen sprague to accommodate all of the traffic. Now you're going to make it worse by reducing the lanes again. There was a reason they were widened in the first place 28 Too many changes have been done on Sprague as it is. 29 because i said so if you want people to slow down put cops there pull people over playing fuck fuck with lanes making traffic worse is not the solution then you just send people to other roads that were not ment for the capacity you know why people fucking go 55 down there its because they can no one stops them 30 The plan doesn't consider emergency vehicles and makes the street more dangerous. The plan doesn't consider population growth in the valley. There was an interesting statement in Oct 6 issue of the Inlander in the Jeers section, "What is wrong with you Spokane Valley? Changing Sprague Avenue AGAIN? All those cones in front of the University -Argonne stretch??? Do you think Spokane is SHRINKING?????" 31 The lane reduction does not take into account snow and ice. To reduce traffic just put in a traffic light and leave the number of lanes alone. 32 This is a bad idea. During rush hour 3 lanes are not enough. I have driven this route for 36 years and traffic keeps getting worse and worse. With all the new housing going in, we need all lanes for traffic and business. To limit lanes now is a waste of money. A crosswalk by the library should be enough, it should have flashing overhead lights! 33 Winter driving and snowplowing conditions have not been adequately modeled by your pilot project. Waste of time and money for this project Bus stops 34 35 36 I believe this is a huge and unnecessary waste of taxpayer money. It seems there should be more emphasis on spending funds on needed services, such as more police to monitor the speeding along this area of Sprague Avenue. In addition, more law enforcement is needed to combat what I think is a more important issue -- abating the many drug houses in the area (I lived by one for a few years, and it was a nightmare). 37 I would support a reduction to 4 lanes. It would give a merging in/out lane for the businesses in the area without causing slow downs from people pulling into and out of the parking lots. This is turning into a Valley hub and we should think about future congestion so we don't end up removing tomorrow what we build today. 38 A project like this also always includes a lot of tree planting etc. I like trees, but they are generally placed in a fashion that makes it look like there are pedestrians. 39 4 lanes would be sufficient but 3 lanes are not. Especially in the winter 40 You changed it from 2 ways to one way- to make it less congested. Now you are going back. Waste of money, cut taxes and extra spending. 10/11/2022 4:55 PM 10/11/2022 4:49 PM 10/11/2022 4:33 PM 10/11/2022 3:36 PM 10/11/2022 3:27 PM 10/11/2022 2:06 PM 10/11/2022 1:38 PM 10/11/2022 1:36 PM 10/10/2022 3:14 PM 10/10/2022 2:28 PM 10/10/2022 9:22 AM 10/9/2022 3:49 PM 10/8/2022 7:45 PM 10/5/2022 4:10 PM 10/3/2022 3:30 PM 10/1/2022 8:33 AM 9/30/2022 11:01 AM 9/29/2022 7:51 PM 9/29/2022 4:28 PM 19/23 Sprague Avenue Pilot Project 41 It took forever, including the splitting of Sprague into the one-way Sprague and Valley Way, to get traffic to be less congested. Reducing the available lanes in a time when there are more and more vehicles accessing our roads seems like we are moving backwards. This is evidenced by the reduction of lanes that the City of Spokane has done to Sprague and Monroe near the downtown areas. The congestion in those areas has increased drammatically! 42 More people moving into the valley. In years coming there will be more traffic and you want to go from 5 lanes to 3. I don't believe this has been thought out very well. 43 As Spokane Valley grows, five lanes will provide more overall capacity and assist with traffic flows during peak hours. A reduction in lanes will likely result in more commuters utilizing alternative east/west corridors like Broadway/Mission/8th/16th which are not equipped to efficiently handle larger traffic volumes. Additionally these alternative corridors are lined, primarily, with residential uses which could increase safety and quality of life issues for residents living along these arterials. Five lanes on Sprague provides a strong incentive to concentrate traffic within a commercial corridor where there are less externalities. 44 This makes traveling on Sprague more confusing for many drivers and increases the risks for collisions with other vehicles as well as any foot traffic. 45 Spokane Valley is growing and I think it will cause congestion and a bottle neck, similar to 1-90 46 This is a horrible decision. You have reduced so many of the regular streets to one lane causing all types of traffic issues and you best idea is to take away 2 lanes causing another hugh bottleneck. The whole Sprague Ave and Appleway is based on traffic for 5 lanes and now you propose to reduce in on one side only creating a hugh bottleneck for three blocks. This will casue traffic to speed up once there passed the bottleneck and cause more issues. 47 1 don't see the need to reduce from 5 to 3. 5 to 4 maybe, but not 3. 48 It CAUSES congestion, and extra confusion for for some drivers, plus there is NO NEED to do this. We have plenty of other places to configure the storm water swells in this area. People shop and do business where it is EASY to commute and access, lane reductions only cause CONGESTION and irritated drivers. Stop the bull crap"""""' Leave Sprauge Ave alone 49 Four lanes may be an adequate alternative. 50 Use the money to make a walk way for pedestrians 51 All of the above 52 It looks very confusing. 53 Why is this even being discussed after voting for the two way apple way. 54 Dumbest idea since the Monroe Street catastrophe 55 Who the f thought this was a good idea? 1 will vote against anyone who approves this. 56 the three lanes east of Sprague are really congested. hate it 57 The Spokane Valley metro population will only continue to grow in the area. While Sprague may only be at 20% capacity on the current 5 lanes of traffic now, this will steadily increase in the future. Reducing lanes on a major arterial is backward thinking and will only serve to burden future generations of drivers and commuters. 58 The whole point of making Sprague one way was to keep traffic moving freely and all this is going to do is Make Sprague congested again. 59 Waiting through the backups that used to happen at Argonne/Mullan was horrible. My commute is already too long without the added headache of sitting through multiple light cycles to get through busy intersections. We need to widen the rest of Sprague and put Appleway through out to Liberty Lake. 60 1) Spending tax dollars to fix something not broken, 2) Buses in third lane will create even more traffic lane changes. 3) Major road change for a pedestrian crossing with no known pedestrians. 61 Waste of money. There must be areas of greater need. 62 Spent money to add more lanes (added Appleway) to then reduce it back to same number of 9/29/2022 3:39 PM 9/29/2022 2:45 PM 9/29/2022 1:47 PM 9/29/2022 9:34 AM 9/29/2022 8:07 AM 9/29/2022 7:40 AM 9/29/2022 7:39 AM 9/29/2022 7:25 AM 9/28/2022 5:38 PM 9/28/2022 8:06 AM 9/27/2022 1:49 PM 9/26/2022 7:11 PM 9/25/2022 4:45 PM 9/25/2022 4:43 PM 9/25/2022 4:40 PM 9/25/2022 8:12 AM 9/23/2022 9:44 PM 9/23/2022 11:02 AM 9/22/2022 7:02 PM 9/22/2022 5:52 AM 9/21/2022 7:03 PM 9/20/2022 4:39 PM 20 / 23 Sprague Avenue Pilot Project lanes. 63 Less lanes is stupid!! 9/20/2022 12:52 PM 64 Our tax dollars paid to have this road expanded, and now you are going to take more tax 9/20/2022 8:18 AM dollars to reduce it. Contraindication! 65 If you want to reduce speed, enforce the limit. I haven't seen patrols in the area for months. 9/20/2022 8:05 AM 66 All the congestion is going to make air quality worse as well. It's ridiculous to reduce this to 9/20/2022 7:35 AM three lanes. 67 You guys have to be absolutely retarded to believe that reducing the number of lanes on the 9/19/2022 11:11 PM busiest street in the valley is a good idea. Especially as the city experiences unprecedented growth. 68 For years, before Sprague turning into a one way road, Sprague Ave was always congested. 9/19/2022 8:51 PM Now with growing numbers of residents in the area and new potential traffic for the new library and park, you want to choke it off again! A continuous stream of cars has the potential to increase road rage among drivers & add travel delays. If speed is the problem, then post police & speed cameras all along the Sprague corridor, but please don't narrow out road!!!! 69 Have you jackasses seen how much traffic uses sprague!?!? Taking away lanes ONLY ADDS 9/19/2022 7:40 PM TO THE FUCKING CONGESTION DIPSHITS. Look at the disaster other city traffic calming BS has brought. 70 More people and traffic are coming to and thru the valley every day. Reducing lanes on 9/19/2022 4:29 PM Sprauge will push more traffic to through the residential neighborhoods on Felts and Herald as drivers try to use Broadway and Mission to avoid the congestion on Sprague. Felts and Herald have no sidewalks. Sprague has sidewalks and lighted crossings for the few that use it. Reducing spragues capacity at a time when traffic and population are increasing, while not adding safey improvements to the residential streets drivers will flee too is not the answer 71 Why once again disrupt travel patterns and disrupt businesses where it used to be 2 lanes one 9/19/2022 2:20 PM way two lanes opposite and a center turn lane now to less lanes to travel. When will engineers ever have common sense and get things right the first time 72 Spokane has a major influx of people in the last two years and the sheer volume of traffic has 9/19/2022 12:26 PM skyrocketed you don't help this stress by lowering lanes. 73 what happened to the lite rail system or the rest of apple way. just another way to steal money 9/19/2022 11:18 AM from the tax payers. why don't you ask the spokane city counsel what they really want with the valley other than all the tax money. 74 The new addition of the park and event center is going to make this section back up big time 9/19/2022 9:30 AM during any event 21/23 Sprague Avenue Pilot Project 16-29 years oLd0 30-59 years oLd 60 or above.

Exhibit 4 — Page 2 of 2 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: December 6, 2022 Department Director Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative report — update on chronic nuisances pursuant to SVMC 7.05.045. GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 7.05 SVMC; chapter 17.100 SVMC; chapter 7.48 RCW; and chapter 7.43 RCW. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: January 16, 2018 adoption of SVMC 7.05.045 prohibiting the maintenance of chronic nuisances, and SVMC 17.100.325 relating to abatement of chronic nuisances; October 8, 2019 minor amendments. Multiple discussions with City Council in fall of 2021 through summer of 2022 on parking on private property, camping on private property, and junk vehicle nuisance provisions. BACKGROUND: The City Council has adopted three primary types of nuisances and code violations related to use of private property. First, there are several general public nuisances. These are identified in SVMC 7.05.040 and include nuisances such as junk vehicles, garbage and other material on private property, noise nuisances, graffiti, and general development code violations. These are generally discrete nuisances in that there is an existing condition (e.g., a junk vehicle or pile of garbage) and through the Code Enforcement process that nuisance condition will be abated and removed, leaving the property free of nuisances. The process generally consists of warning or notice and order identifying the violation, voluntary compliance by the person responsible if they are willing, and litigation to receive a warrant of abatement to allow the City to enter the property and abate the nuisance condition. This process generally takes several months or longer due to the necessary due process considerations at each step, administrative appeals, and the statutory timelines for court proceedings, as well as judge availability. There are also often significant challenges with service of process to ensure the proper party is served the lawsuit. The City has historically relied on Geiger crews for abatements, but due to staffing and limited availability during 2022, the City is in the process of hiring on -call contractors for abatement services. Costs of abatement are filed as a lien against the property, which is junior and subject to any prior liens and tax assessments. Historically, the City has not foreclosed on general nuisance liens and is paid when the property is sold or through payment plans. In the event of a tax foreclosure, the City's lien will generally not be paid. Second, there are unfit dwellings/structure violations. These are identified in chapter 17.105 SVMC and require a separate process to identify that a dwelling or structure is unfit and to proceed through warnings, administrative complaints, administrative appeals, and superior court litigation for a warrant of abatement. This process is required pursuant to State law, but allows the costs to be collected as part of the tax assessments. This process generally takes longer than general nuisances, as there is often more investigation required and the process includes more administrative steps. This process is only available to require owners to repair or rehabilitate their houses or structures or to demolish them if they are damaged too extensively. This process is often used when there is a structure fire that renders the house unlivable. Generally, while securing the property is a sufficient interim step, ultimately the structure must be repaired or demolished. Note that if an owner is given an unfit structure determination and they apply for and receive Page 1 of 5 a demolition permit, those permits are generally valid for two years. In some instances, such as where the unfit structure has not been addressed for an extended period of time, the City may limit the period for required demolition (e.g., require demolition within three months). Third, there are criminal chronic nuisances. These are located in SVMC 7.05.045. These are nuisances related to ongoing criminal activity at a property, where the criminal activity is at a level that it creates a public nuisance within the neighborhood. These address nuisances where there is not a discrete nuisance condition, but the nuisance results from ongoing activity. Since there is not a single discrete condition that can be abated, the remedy is to remove the owners and occupants from the property and to board up the property and prohibit further use for up to one year. Due to the extreme remedy, these have historically been limited by City Council to where criminal activity occurs, and not just ongoing or multiple instances of general nuisance conditions. These nuisances also take several months or longer as they require police involvement to determine that criminal activity has occurred and is ongoing and to provide notices to the owners of the ongoing criminal activity. Generally, they also require a notice and order and the warrant of abatement is obtained through superior court litigation. In fall of 2021 through summer of 2022, City Council had a number of discussions about general public nuisances and considered modifications regarding parking on private property, the number and allowable locations for junk vehicles, and camping on private property. Those discussions remain ongoing, as there was no clear consensus on how to proceed with those general nuisance amendments. However, as part of those discussions, City Council identified a desire to review the existing criminal chronic nuisances. This discussion will focus on the existing criminal chronic nuisance provisions. The full text of the criminal chronic nuisance provisions are included as attachment "A." Key Considerations. Some key considerations for the existing criminal chronic nuisance provisions are that (1) there must be some level of criminal activity in order for the property to be declared a criminal chronic nuisance; - this was based upon the conditions the City was originally attempting to address with chronic nuisance regulations and consideration of the nature of the abatement (taking away the house and property from the owner) - there is also a connection with State law (chapter 7.43 RCW) which specifically provides for drug house nuisance abatement. - there must be either (1) four instances of criminal activity and one general nuisance condition; or (2) five instances of criminal activity over a twelve-month period. (2) criminal chronic nuisances thus require cooperation and coordination between the City's Code Enforcement teams, the City's legal depaitnient, and the Spokane Valley Police Department (SVPD); - Code Enforcement Officers and City Legal staff do not have direct access to the criminal investigations, number of contacts, etc. directly, and rely on getting that information from SVPD. - historically, SVPD have identified potential criminal chronic nuisance properties since they are based on ongoing criminal activity and SVPD have had that information. Historically, criminal chronic nuisances have taken time to establish while SVPD conducts investigations, including undercover activities and enforcement of search warrants. These investigations may take several months to complete. While investigations are ongoing, the Page 2 of 5 required notice of criminal activity may not be given in order to not disclose confidential investigation information. - In 2022, the City has been working with SVPD to have Code Enforcement identify potential criminal chronic nuisance properties and to work collaboratively with SVPD to identify criminal activity and to assist with confirming them as criminal chronic nuisances. - The City has been challenged in the past with effective criminal chronic nuisance enforcement due to SVPD staffing vacancy issues. (3) criminal activity includes (a) service of search warrant, (b) arrest, (c) crimes occurring (and known to City or SVPD), and (d) visits by SVPD. - Visits alone cannot form basis for criminal chronic nuisance. This was an attempt to require that there actually be some identified criminal activity in order to avoid declaring a criminal chronic nuisance as a result of neighbor disputes. - Activity for felony domestic violence does not qualify. This was to not "double" harm victims of domestic violence, which could dissuade them from calling for law enforcement assistance, as well as to give consideration to state law to protect domestic violence victims. - Recent changes in law (the Blake decision and legislative changes) have had some impact on the determination that criminal activity is occurring at a property. While drug possession is still illegal, it is more difficult to arrest someone for drug possession or to utilize that as a means of furthering ongoing investigations to other activities at houses. (4) the Courts have found that due to the substantial remedy, due process considerations are critical. Courts have found that where property owners are actively working on remedying the criminal activity, cities will be under significant scrutiny and face difficult challenges of demonstrating that there is a criminal chronic nuisance that can be abated. Related State law (chapter 7.43 RCW — drug nuisances) has similar provisions requiring Courts to return property to owners if the owners are willing to immediately abate the nuisances and prevent it from being a nuisance for a year; (5) the process for prosecuting a criminal chronic nuisance largely follows the same process as for general nuisances. First, facts are gathered by SVPD regarding the qualifying number of criminal activity events. Notice of each qualifying criminal activity event is given to the property owner in order to allow them to voluntarily address the ongoing criminal activity. Second, once there are at least five occurrences of qualifying criminal activity, Code Enforcement issues determination that the property constitutes a criminal chronic nuisance. This may be in the form of a warning or may be a Notice and Order. The determination requires the owner to stop the ongoing criminal activity. Generally, if the owner is willing to do so, this occurs through a voluntary compliance agreement, in which certain actions are required for the owner to stop the ongoing criminal activity. This can include installation of additional security measures, prohibiting certain individuals from being on the property, or evicting certain individuals from the property. If the voluntary compliance agreement is violated, or if the owner does not agree to voluntarily stop the criminal activity within the applicable time period, the City proceeds to file a lawsuit in Superior Court to obtain an Order and Warrant of Abatement, authorizing the City to remove the owner from the property and to board up the property for a period of up to one year. Given the crucial connection with SVPD, SVPD will be available to discuss how they address criminal chronic nuisances. This discussion will include the impact of the Washington Supreme Court's Blake decision, and the Washington State Legislature's subsequent decriminalization of most drug possession offenses on the City's enforcement of its criminal chronic nuisances. SVPD will also discuss the historical staffing issues, how those issues have been addressed, and current activities related to criminal chronic nuisances. SVPD have identified a Detective assigned to work more Page 3 of 5 closely with City Code Enforcement Officers to identify and prosecute criminal chronic nuisances. SVPD will also provide their thoughts whether there should be changes made to the criminal chronic nuisance code. After recent discussion, SVPD have indicated they do not believe that changes are necessary and that the primary issues have been due to staffing vacancies. OPTIONS: Discussion.

SVMC 7.05.020 Definitions. "Ongoing criminal activity related to the premises" means that (1) criminal activity is or has been occurring at the premises; or (2) criminal activity is or has been occurring near the premises and such activity has a reasonable and proximate connection to the premises, whether by owners, occupants, or persons visiting such owners or occupants. Examples of conduct or actions that constitute criminal activity occurring at or near the premises of the subject property include, but are not limited to, the following: 1. Service of a search warrant by law enforcement personnel; or 2. Arrest of one or more individuals by law enforcement personnel during any 24-hour period; or 3.

For purposes of this definition, service of warrants, arrests, or commission of misdemeanor or felony domestic violence shall not be considered criminal activity. Page 5 of 5 Code Enforcement Program Follow-up Topic Criminal Chronic Nuisance December 6, 2022 Erik Lamb, Deputy City Manager Jenny Nickerson, Building Official Caitlin Prunty, Deputy City Attorney Assistant Chief Kevin Richey Detective Pat Bloomer Spokane Valley Background City Council has adopted three primary types of nuisances and code violations related to private property: - General Public Nuisances (SVMC 705.040) - Unfit Dwellings and Structures (SVMC 17.105) - Criminal Chronic Nuisances (SVMC 705.045) Council discussion in late 2021 and through July 2022 on various generalnuisance issues. At last discussion, Council indicated desire to review Criminal Chronic Nuisance provisions. 2 General Public Nuisances General public nuisances - SVMC 7.05.040 List of conditions that constitute public nuisances. Examples include junk vehicles, garbage and other material, noise, graffiti, and general development code violations. Generally discrete in that existing condition (i.e., junk vehicle or pile of garbage) can easily be abated through Code Enforcement process. Once abated, nuisance is gone. Process Administrative warning, Notice and Order (determination), litigation to receive Order and Warrant of Abatement authorizing City to enter property to remove the nuisance condition. Generally several months due to necessary due process considerations at each step, administrative appeals, and statutory timelines for court proceedings, as well as available schedules with court Historically relied on Geiger crews for abatement - now hiring on -call contractors Costs filed as lien 3 Historically have not foreclosed on liens and they are paid when property transfers Unfit Dwellings/Structures Unfit Dwellings/Structures - SVMC 17.105 Solely for dwellings or structures that are unfit for living or occupancy Separate process - required by State law Allows costs to be collected as part of tax assessments Process Generally longer than general public nuisances due to additional administrative steps Requires owners to repair or rehabilitate houses or to demolish them While securing property is sufficient interim step, ultimately structure must be repaired or demolished If owner applies for demolition permit, those permits are generally valid for two years, though City may limit allowable time for repair/demolition through this process. 4 5 Criminal Chronic Nuisances Criminal Chronic Nuisances - SVMC 7.05.045 Basis in State law (RCW 7.43 - Drug Nuisances) Generally not a discrete nuisance condition, but rather the ongoing activity that creates the nuisance Abatement is thus to remove owner/occupants from property and to board it up for up to one year Due to extreme remedy, solely for ongoing criminal activity at a property Process Similar to general nuisances, but require Spokane Valley Police Department to identify ongoing criminal activity; Notice and Order; Superior Court litigation to obtain Order and Warrant of Abatement Generally take longer than general nuisances because of additional need for SVPD involvement to work the criminal activity Criminal Chronic Nuisances Criminal Chronic Nuisances - SVMC 7.05.045 7.05.045 Chronic nuisances. k • A. No person, firm, or entity shall erect, contrive, cause, continue, maintain, or permit to exist any chronic nuisance within the City including on the property of any person, firm, or entity or upon any public rights -of -way abutting a person's, firm's, or entity's property. A parcel or lot of real property, a building, including but not limited to the structure or any separate part of portion thereof, whether permanent or not, or the ground itself, a unit within a building, or a mobile home, manufactured home, or recreational vehicle (collectively referred to as "property") shall constitute a chronic nuisance when any of the following conditions occur: • 1. During any continuous 12-month period, the property in question: • a. A final determination has been made by the City that conditions on the property constitute a nuisance pursuant to Chapters 7.05 and 17.100 SVMC; and • b. Has four or more occurrences of ongoing criminal activity related to the premises; or • 2. During any 12-month period, the property in question has five or more occurrences of ongoing criminal activity related to the premises. • B. Defenses. It shall be a defense against a declaration of chronic nuisance if the person alleged to be responsible for the nuisance (1) affirmatively engages in reasonable and ongoing efforts to remedy the nuisance and/or ongoing criminal activity; and5(2) is not the perpetrator nor allows the perpetration of the nuisance or ongoing criminal activities. Criminal Chronic Nuisances Criminal Chronic Nuisances - SVMC 7.05.045 SVMC 7.05.020 Definitions. • • "Ongoing criminal activity related to the premises" means that (1) criminal activity is or has been occurring at the premises; or (2) criminal activity is or has been occurring near the premises and such activity has a reasonable and proximate connection to the premises, whether by owners, occupants, or persons visiting such owners or occupants. Examples of conduct or actions that constitute criminal activity occurring at or near the premises of the subject property include, but are not limited to, the following: • 1. Service of a search warrant by law enforcement personnel; or • 2. Arrest of one or more individuals by law enforcement personnel during any 24-hour period; or • 3. Commission of a misdemeanor, gross misdemeanor, or felony at or near the premises and where there is a reasonable and proximate connection between the crime or criminal and the premises, including those visiting the owner or occupants of the premises; or • 4. Visits by law enforcement personnel which occur based upon a reasonable belief by law enforcement that a crime is occurring or has occurred, but which do not result in any of the actions identified in subsections (1) through (3) of this definition; provided, that visits alone may not form the sole basis for determining a premises to be a chronic nuisance premises. • For purposes of this definition, service of warrants, arrests, or commission of misdemeanor or felony domestic violence shall not be considered criminal activity. 7 Criminal Chronic Nuisances - Considerations There must be some level of criminal activity in order for the property to be declared a criminal chronic nuisance; this was based upon the conditions the City was originally attempting to address with chronic nuisance regulations and consideration of the nature of the abatement (taking away the house and property from the owner) there is also a connection with State law (chapter 7.43 RCW) which specifically provides for drug house nuisance abatement. there must be either (1) four instances of criminal activity and one general nuisance condition; or (2) five instances of criminal activity over a twelve-month period. 8 Criminal Chronic Nuisances - Considerations Criminal chronic nuisances thus require cooperation and coordination between the City's Code Enforcement teams, the City's legal department, and the Spokane Valley Police Department (SVPD); Code Enforcement Officers and City Legal staff do not have direct access to the criminal investigations, number of contacts, etc. directly, and rely on getting that information from SVPD. historically, SVPD have identified potential criminal chronic nuisance properties since they are based on ongoing criminal activity and SVPD have had that information. Historically, criminal chronic nuisances have taken time to establish while SVPD conducts investigations, including undercover activities and enforcement of search warrants. These investigations may take several months to complete. While investigations are ongoing, the required notice of criminal activity may not be given in order to not disclose confidential investigation information. In 2022, the City has been working with SVPD to have Code Enforcement identify potential criminal chronic nuisance properties and to work collaboratively with SVPD to identify criminal activity and to assist with confirming them as criminal chronic nuisances. The City has been challenged in the past with effective criminal chronic nuisance enforcement due to SVPD staffing vacancy issues. 9 Criminal Chronic Nuisances - Considerations Criminal activity includes (a) service of search warrant, (b) arrest, (c) crimes occurring (and known to City or SVPD), and (d) visits by SVPD. Visits alone cannot form basis for criminal chronic nuisance. This was an attempt to require that there actually be some identified criminal activity in order to avoid declaring a criminal chronic nuisance as a result of neighbor disputes. Activity for felony domestic violence does not qualify. This was to not "double" harm victims of domestic violence, which could dissuade them from calling for law enforcement assistance. Recent changes in law (the Blake decision and legislative changes) have had some impact on the determination that criminal activity is occurring at a property. While drug possession is still illegal, it is more difficult to arrest someone for drug possession or to utilize that as a means of furthering ongoing investigations to other activities at houses. 10 Criminal Chronic Nuisances - Considerations The Courts have found that due to the substantial remedy, due process considerations are critical. Courts have found that where property owners are actively working on remedying the criminal activity, cities will be under significant scrutiny and face difficult challenges of demonstrating that there is a criminal chronic nuisance that can be abated. Related State law (chapter 7.43 RCW - drug nuisances) has similar provisions requiring Courts to return property to owners if the owners are willing to immediately abate the nuisances and prevent it from being a nuisance for a year; 11 Criminal Chronic Nuisances - SVPD Impact of Blake decision and Legislative changes regarding drug possession Staffing Issues Current activities Additional changes necessary? 12 Questions? CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: December 6, 2022 Department Director Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report — Right -of -Way Vegetation Maintenance GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None BACKGROUND: The City currently has over 450 centerline miles of roadways within its limits, along with other, undeveloped rights -of -ways. As part of the normal street maintenance services, the City does not have staff to maintain the areas outside the normal hardscape, pavement and sidewalks, but rather contracts with multiple vendors for the service. This work includes vegetation maintenance (mowing and trimming), weed control, trash and debris pickup and disposal, and some minor improvement repairs (fencing, signs, etc.). The area being maintained consists of approximately 13 acres of irrigated land and 104 acres of non -irrigated land. Historically, the City has utilized three major vendors for these services. The major vendors, and their services include the following. • Spokane County Detention Services — Non -Irrigated Dryland grass area maintenance • Senske Lawn & Tree Care — Irrigated grass area maintenance • Clearwater Summit Group — Weed control (spraying) citywide The 2022 roadway and right-of-way maintenance program was especially challenged for several reasons. First, Detention Services unexpectedly stopped providing labor work crews beginning in the spring due to lack of staff to monitor the crews. Second, the wet spring season extended well into the month of June which kept vegetation growing, and with no Detention Services crews, normal maintenance could not be performed. This lack of contracted maintenance crews, along with the exceptional vegetation growth, resulted in numerous complaints and concerns from the public. To provide the maintenance services normally conducted by Detention Services, the City issued Request for Proposals for Maintenance Contracts, to which there were no responses. The City reached out to contractors that would typically provide landscape maintenance services to discuss our needs, and all indicated that their workload and staffing levels were maximized. All the while, maintenance services for non -irrigated areas were not completed through the summer. Fortunately, in late August and early September, staff were able to negotiate contracts with three additional vendors to provide maintenance services to assist in getting caught up to the backlog since there was minimal maintenance throughout the summer. About the same time, Detention Services were able to put together a small work crew of two to three workers, rather than the historical eight or nine workers. With these new contracts and the limited detention services work crew, all priority roadway and right-of-way non -irrigated areas were addressed by mid -October. The following table shows the historical costs for services for each vendor from 2019 to 2022. Roadway & Right -of -Way Landscape Maintenance Costs Vendor 2019 2020 2021 2022 Spokane County Detention Services $69,089.08 $50,183.67 $41,551.21 $24,078.38 Senske Lawn & Tree Care $87,193.27 $51,163.62 $75,682.10 $80,099.94 Clearwater Summit Group $39,000.00 $39,000.00 $39,000.00 $40,170.00 Revival Contracting N/A N/A N/A $23,350.38 Valley Landscaping N/A N/A N/A $14,318.17 AAA Sweeping N/A N/A N/A $22,963.26 Totals $195,282.35 $140,347.29 $156,233.31 $204,980.13 The table shows that in 2020 and 2021, costs to the City for landscape maintenance services was significantly less than costs in 2019 and 2022. This decrease coincides with the reduction in work attributable to the COVID pandemic. Also, the table indicates that there has been a significant decline in 2022 to costs attributable to Detention Services due to the decrease in work crew support as previously described. Finally, it should be noted that year to date costs for 2022 are similar to those in 2019, which are historical costs. Unfortunately, as previously noted, the level of service provided by the City in 2022 was significantly less than service historically provided. Historically, maintenance crews address non -irrigated areas at least three times per year. In 2022, contracted vendors only addressed non -irrigated areas once. As we move into 2023, indications from Detention Services are that the City will not have the same level of support as in previous years. To meet historical levels of service, the City will again be required to contract with additional vendors for support at significantly increased costs as outlined below. In early 2023, staff will initiate additional contracts for maintenance of non - irrigated areas; timing of which will allow vendors to plan for services. OPTIONS: Discussion RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Historically, the City anticipates spending approximately $200,000 annually on landscape maintenance services for roadway and right-of-way areas. As noted previously regarding non -irrigated areas, Detention Services indicates that the same level of support will not be available in 2023, requiring the City to contract with other vendors at significantly higher costs. The evaluation of the Community and Public Works Department maintenance activities conducted by LA Consulting showed that the cost of Spokane County Detention Services provided maintenance averaged approximately $8.50 per labor hour. To contract the same services with other vendors at state prevailing wage rates as required, hourly labor rates vary from $50 to $75 per hour. Fortunately, in anticipation of these increased costs, the adopted 2023 City Budget includes an additional $250,000 for contracted vegetation management. STAFF CONTACT: Bill Helbig, PE, Community & Public Works Director ATTACHMENTS: None CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: December 6, 2022 Department Director Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report — Pavement Management Program: New Revenue Options GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.11.020 — Powers vested in legislative bodies of noncharter and charter code cities. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Pavement Management Program (PMP) has been discussed at least 60 times by City Council since shortly after the City's incorporation. Most recently, Council discussed the PMP as part of the following agenda items: • April 19, 2022 — Administrative Report on the 2021 Street Sustainability Committee's (SSC) efforts and next steps to improve the Pavement Management Program (PMP). • May 10, 2022 — Administrative Report discussing using the Fund 106 to fund a new open - order contract for 2023 pavement preservation -specific projects. • June 14, 2022 —2023 Budget Workshop including discussion on the PMP and sustainable funding for the PMP, including Street Fund #101. • July 12, 2022 — Administrative Report on the prioritization of local access street projects. • September 27, 2022 — Administrative Report on the allocation of Capital Reserve Fund #312, identifying $250,000 for a 2023 surface treatment pilot project. BACKGROUND: The City's street network consists of roughly 450 centerline miles of roadway, including 127 centerline miles of arterials/collectors and 323 centerline miles of local access streets. This equates to 1,025 total lane miles in the network covering roughly 9.2 Million square yards (SY) of paved surfaces, equivalent to 1,900 acres. Roughly two-thirds of the City streets' pavement area is attributed to local access streets. The remaining one-third of pavement area is located on arterial or collector streets. The City's Pavement Management Program (PMP) serves two primary functions: • Preservation: Multi -year planning and implementation of pavement `treatments' to extend the life of existing paved streets and sustain the pavement condition over time. • Maintenance: Annual costs for repairs and upkeep of snowplow operations, traffic signals and signs, streetlights, sidewalks, potholes, crack filling, and roadside maintenance. Overall, to sustain today's citywide average Pavement Condition Index (PCI), the City, based on full preservation and maintenance costs, should expend approximately $16 million annually: $10 million for preservation and $6 million for maintenance. Currently, the City reliably provides $8 million annually using the local street wear fee (Fund #106), Federal and State grants, and utility and fuel tax revenues. The unfunded $8 million is partially covered by annual general fund transfers into Street Fund #101 for maintenance, estimated at a transfer in excess of $3 million annually, for the immediate future. The remaining $5 million necessary for full funding of the PMP continues to be unfunded and is realized by not completing or constructing planned local access street preservation and reconstruction projects. The current approximate PMP budget is depicted in the following table. Pavement Management Program $16 M Annual Need Preservation & Reconstruction (Funds #106,#311) $10 M Need Streets Maintenance (Fund #101) $6 M Need Arterials/Collectors $3.5 to $4 M Need Local Access $6.5 M Need All Streets $6 M Need less $3 M (6% Recurring GF) less $2 M (Avg Grants) less $1.5 M (Street Wear Fee) less $1 M (Telephone Tax Revenue)* less $2 M (Fuel Tax + Other Fees) Fully Funded $5 M Unfunded $3 M Unfunded Varies with grants + REET, consider fully funded Local Access Street projects not constructed Currently covered by general fund transfers to balance Street Fund #101 *$1 M revenue from Telephone Utility Tax is declining annually. To offset this decline, general fund transfers have been increasing. The 2021 Streets Sustainability Committee (SSC) included 22 local and regional stakeholders tasked to assist the City in its public outreach regarding future decisions focused on the sustainability of the City's PMP. The SSC conducted seven meetings and was supported by seven additional community stakeholder meetings, three public meetings, and a citywide public survey that received 1,018 responses. As a result, the 2021 outreach efforts resulted in nine findings: 1. Evaluate A The pavement condition of City streets is described as "fair" or better. B The PMP should be prioritized in the City's budget planning process. 2. Identify A Survey respondents support increasing the prioritization of local access streets. B Implement surface treatments as part of the PMP. C Increase PMP funding to maintain the streets in their current condition. 3. Investigate A Do not reduce funding to other City programs to fund the PMP. B Transportation Benefit District is the most preferred funding option. C New funding should evenly distribute costs to everyone. D PMP funding should not rely on annual surplus fund transfers. In summary, the SSC, along with the findings of its public survey and community outreach, provided four key considerations for City Council: 1. Prioritization of local access streets 2. Implementation of surface treatments 3. Project delivery options 4. Funding options Over the course of 2022, City Council and staff have identified potential solutions to the four considerations above. To address prioritization of local access streets, implementation of surface treatments and project delivery options, staff recommended the use the $1.5 M of annual revenues from the Street Wear Fee Fund #106 to create a 2023 unit -priced contract for pavement preservation and reconstruction of local access streets. It is anticipated that the unit - priced contract will provide a more cost effective and flexible alternative than the typical delivery method for capital improvement projects that requires the design -bid -build process for each project. The scope of work of the unit price contract may also include surface treatments such as surface seals, slurry seals or mircosurfacing. Additionally, to evaluate the use of surface treatments, Council, at its September 27, 2022, meeting, programmed $250,000 for developing and implementing a surface treatment pilot project. Staff is currently working with adjacent jurisdictions to determine the feasibility of larger regional pilot projects in order to deliver pilot projects more cost effectively. To address the development of funding options to sustain the City's PMP, the SSC, City Council and staff discussed new revenue sources available, including the development of a Transportation Benefit District (TBD). The attached Available Funding Options Summary form specifies the estimated potential revenues associated with each of the City's revenue options. The various revenue options available without a public vote are summarized below: • Utility Tax $8.1 million (at 6%, can be reduced to lower rate) • TBD: Vehicle License Fee $1.4 million (years 1-2, can increase in year 3) • Property Tax Banked Capacity $1.0 million Voter approved revenue options include the following: • TBD: Sales & Use Tax $7.4 million (max, could drop to $3.3 million) • TBD: Excess Property Tax $0.13 million • Levy Lid Lift $0.14 million To fund the PMP, Council may choose any combination of the available options, which can vary based on applied rates, economic/market conditions, etc. The "Utility Tax" requires further analysis of which utilities to tax and at what rate, see the attached Utility Tax Revenue Options page for more information. Seven neighboring jurisdictions had their utility tax rates compared to Spokane Valley. The considered utilities included: electricity, natural gas, telephone, cable TV, solid waste, water, and sewer. • Four jurisdictions impose a utility tax on all seven potential utilities. • One jurisdiction imposes a utility tax on six of the seven potential utilities. • Two jurisdictions impose a utility tax on five of the seven potential utilities. • Spokane Valley imposes a utility tax on telephone service only. OPTIONS: Discussion Only. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff requests Council direction on whether new funding sources should be considered for the Pavement Management Program and/or which elements of the funding options are preferred over the others. Upon direction, staff intends to develop a detailed funding proposal for council consideration and to offer opportunity for public input. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None at this time.

Over the years, the Pavement Management Program has been recognized as a priority; however, the City has struggled to secure a consistent, reliable funding source that could sustain a long-term program. Purpose & Methodology The City's Pavement Management Program has identified a total annual cost of $16 million to sustain the City's paved street network in its current overall "good" condition. The City has historically spent $8 million each year, or approximately 50% of the recommended PMP amount. The $8 million shortfall is an indicator that City streets are deteriorating at a faster rate than current available funding can sustain. City Council created the Streets Sustainability Committee to assist the City's public outreach efforts as it relates to the long-term goals of the Pavement Management Program. The goals of the Streets Sustainability Committee included: 1. Evaluate citizens' interest and support for maintaining city streets and suggesting pavement condition goals. 2. Identify preference 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. THE COMMITTEE The 22-member Streets Sustainability Committee served as staff's primary resource to seek input and to connect with the community at large. Participants were leaders in their respective fields and helped gather input from their respective peer groups. The Committee included 19 invited members from different for- and nonprofit businesses, transportation backgrounds, and three citizen -representatives who applied to, and were recommended by Mayor Wick to participate on the Committee. The Committee membership was confirmed by the City Council on March 23, 2021. The fundamental assumption that guided the process was the use of open-ended questions to address the Committee goals. This format promoted a descriptive process rather than a prescriptive process, describing public opinion instead of seeking agreement for a particular agenda or focus. In other words, to find out how the public felt about the City's Pavement Management Program, the City would ask and listen to the responses. This fundamental assumption shaped the Committee meetings, public meetings, and the public survey. Public Meeks & Workshe's Media Releases Social/Digital/Print Streets Sustainability Committee Final Report 2 Spokane uMalley THE COMMUNITY City staff worked with the Committee to develop a public outreach plan to share information with and gather feedback from the community, including public meetings, community surveys, and paid social/print/digital media. Through an iterative review process, City staff and the Committee finalized a public survey that was used to gauge public opinion on the three goals of the Committee. The survey was open to the public from mid -June to mid -September. Key Findings The key findings of the public survey and the Committee activities are summarized in Table 1. The City's public outreach process resulted in 22 Committee responses and 1,018 public survey responses. Table 1. Executive Summary - Key Findings by Committee Goal Goal Item Finding A The pavement condition of City streets is described as "fair" or better. 1 B The Pavement Management Program should be prioritized in the City's budget planning process. 2 A Survey respondents support increasing the prioritization of local access streets. B Implement surface treatments in the Pavement Management Program. Increase Pavement Management Program funding to maintain the streets in their current condition. 3 A B C D Do not reduce funding of other City programs to increase funding of the Pavement Management Program. Transportation Benefit District is the most -preferred funding option. Survey respondents indicate new funding should evenly distribute costs to everyone. Pavement Management Program funding should not rely on annual surplus fund transfers. Process Review The process used by the City replicated the process used by other local agencies: informational material was developed and provided, and Committee members were asked to actively participate, formulate opinions on pavement management activities, and engage with the public to collect feedback. In comparison with other agencies, the Committee process was well -attended, participants openly and willingly provided comment, and were engaged and supportive in satisfying the Committee goals. The process proved to be beneficial to both the Committee participants and the City. Should the City proceed to implement a new revenue stream, the Committee members stressed the importance of transparent, thoughtful, and intentional public messaging. Further, the Committee acknowledged the time and effort expended on this 2021 public outreach process and shared reservations that the findings would only be considered by City Council with no action taken. Streets Sustainability Committee Final Report 3 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: December 6, 2022 Department Director Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Plante's Ferry Sports Complex Public Master Planning — Interlocal Agreement GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 39.34.080. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: 10-18-2022: Admin Report Letter of Support. 10-25-2022: Motion Consideration Letter of Support. BACKGROUND: Since at least 2016, City Council has been studying and considering a variety of potential enhancements and improvements to Spokane County's Plante's Ferry Sports Complex. There have been multiple studies regarding the feasibility of sports events and improvements at Plante's Ferry. Recently, the City was contacted by Spokane County Parks, Recreation and Golf about a funding opportunity for improvements at Plante's Ferry Sports Complex. On October 25, 2022, the City approved providing a Letter of Support to Spokane County Parks, Recreation and Golf for their request to proceed with approximately $4 million of American Rescue Plan (ARP) funds to develop a master plan, design, and construction of some portion of improvements at Plante's Ferry Sports Complex. At that time, City Council requested an agreement be prepared regarding the equal cost -sharing portion to complete a multi -phased master plan for the Plante's Ferry Sports Complex. Staff prepared an Interlocal Agreement, which has also been reviewed by Spokane County. The Interlocal Agreement is attached for review by Council. The interlocal agreement is currently scheduled as a motion consideration at the December 13, 2022 Council meeting. Upon Council approval, staff will forward the Interlocal to Spokane County for their approval consideration. Once the document has been fully approved, the City and Spokane County will work to immediately hire a planning firm to begin a master plan for the Plante's Ferry Park Sports Complex. The master plan would cost approximately $100,000, and the City and Spokane County will each pay half. The City is currently engaged in a Tourism Strategy project with an expected completion date in early spring 2023. The Plante's Ferry Park Sports Complex public master development planning results will be an important element to factor into the Tourism Strategy report. OPTIONS: Discussion and review of the Interlocal Agreement. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus to place the interlocal agreement on the December 13, 2022 Council agenda for a motion consideration or take other action deemed appropriate. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If approved, the City and County would engage a planning firm to immediately begin the planning/study process. Staff estimates this effort would cost up to $100,000, and each party would pay half each, up to $50,000. There are available funds in the City Manager's budget.

The suspect backed into a business wall and fled on foot in an attempt to escape. Deputies quickly caught the fleeing suspect and took him into custody. The suspect was booked into the Spokane County Jail for Page 5 Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, Hit and Run Property Damage, and Obstructing Law Enforcement. The suspect had just been released from jail by the courts a few weeks earlier on his own recognizance for charges of Possession of a Stolen Vehicle and Making/Possessing Burglary Tools. In early October, at approximately 8:00 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of a located stolen vehicle in the parking lot of McDonald's, 15 S. Havana Street. The victim of the vehicle theft, reported a few days earlier, stated she found her stolen 2020 Toyota Corolla. She advised it was backed into a parking stall at McDonald's and was occupied by a white male. Deputy Heaney, Deputy Lederle, and Deputy A. Johnson arrived, located the vehicle, and positioned their patrol cars, with emergency lights activated, in front of the stolen vehicle to block any escape. The 35-year-old male suspect placed the running car into reverse and backed over the curb, ramming into the wall of the business. The suspect, realizing he couldn't flee in the vehicle, jumped out and began running on foot east through the parking lot. Deputy Johnson quickly caught up to the suspect and took him to the ground after hitting a wooden fence. The male suspect was taken into custody by the deputies. The suspect was advised of his rights and refused to answer questions. The victims stated they had been looking for their stolen cars since the theft. After they located it, they called law enforcement and remained in the area until deputies arrived. One victim stated their other vehicles were prowled on the same day of the vehicle theft. At that time, the suspect stole a backpack containing the other victim's wallet and a key for the Corolla, which is how they believe it was stolen. A McDonald's employee estimated the damage to the building at $10,000-$15,000. The suspect was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, Hit and Run Property Damage, and Obstructing Law Enforcement. His total bond was set at $4,000 by Spokane County Superior Court Commissioner Stine. The suspect was just arrested in early August, after he was found sleeping in the driver's seat of a stolen vehicle in the 400 block of S. Thor. At that time, Spokane Police Officers charged him with Possession of a Stolen Vehicle and Making/Possessing Burglary Tools. He was released days later on his own recognizance. Three -Time Convicted Felon in Possession of Firearm, Arrested During Theft, Bond Set at $5,000 - Responding to a theft call, a Spokane Valley deputy contacted and arrested the suspect, a three -time convicted felon, for stealing over $230 worth of merchandise from a store.

He was arrested for Unlawful Possession of a Firearm 2'd Degree and misdemeanor Theft 3rd Degree. A female suspect, accompanied by the male, was arrested for Theft 3rd Degree. She was issued a criminal citation and released at the scene. In early October, at approximately 12:00 pm, Spokane Valley Deputy Nathan Overbay responded to a possible theft in progress call at Walmart, 5025 E. Sprague Avenue. A store asset protection associate (APA) advised a male and female were observed possibly concealing items, in an attempt to commit theft. Deputy Overbay went to the security office and observed the 27-year-old male suspect concealing items in his pockets. APA said he watched the 25-year-old female suspect hide merchandise in her pants. The pair were • f5POKANFCOUNiY SHERIFF 911EIIIFF OZZIE. D. HNEZOVICIe The Page 6 observed on camera walking throughout the store as the male suspect would take items, rip open the package, and place the items in his pockets. Deputy Overbay waited outside the store, beyond all points of sale, for the suspects to leave. As the male suspect began to exit, he noticed Deputy Overbay and quickly turned toward the other exit. Deputy Overbay caught up to the male suspect, told him he was under attest, grabbed his arm, and placed the suspect in handcuffs. The female suspect was advised to follow them back inside the store to the security office, and she complied. Once in the office, the male suspect stated, "I have a pistol in my shorts pocket." Deputy Overbay located a loaded 9mm SCCY pistol; earrings, a necklace, makeup, and other random items without packaging were removed from his pockets. The stolen merchandise totaled over $230. The male suspect was advised of his rights and agreed to answer questions. A check of his name revealed he was a three -time convicted felon (Unlawful Possession of a Firearm 2"d Degree, Criminal Mischief with a Deadly Weapon, and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm). The female suspect was advised she was under arrest and a search revealed a $6 hair product hidden in her waistband. She was issued a criminal misdemeanor ticket for Theft 3rd Degree and released at the scene. The male suspect, a convicted felon and not legally allowed to possess a firearm, was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for felony Unlawful Possession of a Firearm 2nd Degree and Theft 3rd Degree, a misdemeanor. Major Crimes Detective Investigate Fatal Stabbing on E. Boone - The Spokane Valley Major Crimes Detectives were called to the scene of a fatal stabbing in the 8000 block of E. Boone. The suspect had fled the scene and had not been identified initially. In mid -October, at approximately 4:15 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of two males physically fighting near the intersection of E. Boone and N. Dorn Court. Updated information stated one male was lying on the ground, not moving, and the location of the second male was unknown. Deputies and Spokane Valley Fire Fighters arrived at the scene and provided immediate medical aid. The adult male was unresponsive and appeared to have suffered life -threatening stab wounds. He was transported to the hospital in critical condition and later pronounced deceased. Major Crimes Detectives responded to the scene to conduct the investigation. SIRT Team volunteers also responded to assist with traffic control. Witness information indicated the possible suspect was a white male, 20s-30s, with dark curly hair, black pants, and a gray hoodie with darker shoulders/hood. It was unknown if he was injured during the fight. The Spokane County Medical Examiner's Office will release the victim's identity at a later date when appropriate. The following day, detectives were contacted by the suspect's attorney, which led to his arrest. Investigators learned the suspect is related to the victim. The male suspect was booked into the Spokane County Jail for Murder 2" Degree. Additionally, he was booked on unrelated arrest warrants for charges of Driving Under 21 Alcohol/Cannabis, No Valid Operator's License 1st Degree, and Minor in Possession. Fatal Motorcycle Crash at Barker Road and Sprague Avenue - Spokane Valley Traffic Unit Investigators were called to the location of a one -vehicle fatal crash in Spokane Valley. The adult male motorcycle rider was pronounced deceased at the scene. In mid -October, at approximately 4:30 am, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of a motorcycle crash at Sprague Avenue and Barker Road. Arriving deputies and Spokane Valley Fire Fighters found the adult male rider unresponsive, and he was pronounced deceased at the scene. Traffic Unit Investigators were called to the scene to conduct the investigation. SIRT Team volunteers responded to assist with traffic control. Initial information indicates the rider was traveling south on Barker Road at a high rate of speed, failed to negotiate the roundabout, left the roadway, and crashed. The motorcycle involved in the crash had been reported as stolen. While at the scene, a GMC Yukon arrived, and a 22-year- Page 7 old male passenger contacted deputies. He explained he was checking on the rider, thinking it was his friend. While speaking with the male, deputies checked his name and learned he had an active misdemeanor warrant for his arrest. The male became very nervous and began walking back toward the Yukon. Deputies told him he was not free to leave as they needed to talk to him about the crash and that he had a warrant for his arrest. The male began running toward the Yukon while deputies told him to stop and that he was under arrest. Deputies caught the male at the Yukon and took him into custody; the driver of the vehicle sped away from the scene. The male was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for Obstructing and his misdemeanor warrant. This remains an active investigation, and speed is believed to be a contributing factor in this fatal crash. DV Assault Suspect and Convicted Felon, believed to be Armed, Attempts to Avoid Arrest - Spokane Valley Deputies located a convicted felon and Domestic Violence suspect who reportedly threatened his ex -girlfriend and her husband with a pistol. He was taken into custody after a short vehicle and foot pursuit. The suspect's two -year -old child was found in the vehicle after he wrecked and fled on foot. The child was not injured, but he was taken to the hospital as a precaution. A pistol was observed inside the suspect's vehicle, which was seized pending a search warrant. In mid -October, at approximately 4:20 pm, Spokane Valley Deputy Heaney and Deputy Ortiz responded to the report of a possible Domestic Violence/Stalking call in the 2900 block of E. Cherry Lane in Spokane Valley. The victim and her husband explained the victim's ex -boyfriend had been stalking her and her young daughter, whom they had in common. The 41-year-old male suspect had been watching her and her daughter for weeks. She has custody of her daughter and told the suspect if he wanted to see their child, he would need to pursue that in court. Just prior to calling 911, the victim observed the suspect sitting in a vehicle backed into a parking stall that enabled him to view the victim's bedroom window. The victim told her husband, and they decided to contact the suspect in the parking lot. Due to experience, she knew the suspect often carried a firearm despite being a convicted felon, and her husband armed himself for self-defense. As they approached the car, the suspect opened the door and stood in the vehicle's doorway, holding a pistol. The suspect raised the handgun and pointed it at the victim and her husband. He demanded to see their daughter, and an argument ensued regarding the parenting situation. At no time did her husband raise or point his firearm at the suspect. Both victims feared for their lives and of being shot by the suspect. The suspect eventually left the parking lot in a white 2005 Infiniti, and they reported the incident. Deputies responded to the car lot where the suspect had reportedly purchased the car. They obtained information regarding the SUV and that it had a temporary tag. They were also told the suspect had made statements in the past that he would shoot law enforcement if they came around him. Deputy Spiewak, Deputy Hood, and Deputy Tyler, with her partner K9 Jager, arrived in the area of the suspect's home in the 1600 block of E. Sharp Avenue. While approaching the residence on foot, Deputy Spiewak observed a white SUV matching the description of the car the suspect was driving. The SUV turned around rapidly and went down a side street. The deputies returned to their patrol vehicles and began searching the area for the car. Deputy Spiewak located the vehicle near the intersection of N. Regal Street and E, Mission Avenue, and advised other patrol units that the SUV accelerated rapidly north on Regal, crossing Mission. He activated his emergency lights and siren and advised the suspect was fleeing. During the pursuit, a black sedan had to pull completely off the road to avoid being struck by the suspect. As the suspect attempted to turn south on N. Fiske Street, he lost control, hit a power pole, and spun, disabling his vehicle. Believing the suspect was armed, Deputy Spiewak maintained behind the cover of his fully marked patrol car and gave orders for the male suspect to show his hands and to get out of the vehicle. Deputy Spiewak's attention was diverted to several children and an adult male who ran out from the houses where the crash occurred. Concerned for their safety, he told them Page 8 to get back and go inside as the suspect exited the SUV and ran east, crossing Green Street. Several citizens yelled to arriving deputies that the suspect was running along the river in the thick brush. Deputy Tyler and partner K9 Jager arrived as deputies set up a permitter, with the assistance of Spokane Police Officers, and K9 warnings were given. Shortly after Deputy Tyler and K9 Jager began a track, SPD perimeter units advised the suspect was observed on the southeast side of Mission and Green, running toward Mission. Deputy Sipes drove to the area and toward the male suspect, now running up the dirt hill toward the railroad tracks. Deputy Sipes gave commands to the suspect, who appeared tired, and he complied. He was taken into custody without further incident. Back at the suspect's vehicle, as deputies cleared it, they noticed a young toddler in the rear passenger's seat. The child was frightened but appeared uninjured. A child safety seat was not located in the SUV. The child was provided medical aid to ensure he was not injured. He was transported to the hospital as a precaution for further evaluation. The suspect was advised of his rights, and he agreed to answer questions. The male suspect admitted to going to his ex -girlfriend's home to talk to her about their daughter. He said he had been receiving threats from his ex about never seeing his daughter again. The victims beat on his car, and they threatened him. When asked if he drew a pistol, the suspect said he was a felon and would not answer further. The male suspect admitted to fleeing from deputies but said he didn't know his son was still in the car. He thought his son went with his mother when he told her to get out and take the child before he fled from deputies. A handgun was observed in the vehicle that matched the description provided by the victims. The SUV was seized as evidence pending a search warrant. The male suspect, a four -time convicted felon (Attempt to Elude, Manufacture/Sales Controlled Substance, Possession of a Controlled Substance without a Prescription, Possession of a Controlled Substance (cocaine -NV)), is prohibited from possessing a firearm. The male suspect was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for Assault 2nd Degree (DV), Assault 2"d Degree, Attempting to Elude Police Vehicle and Reckless Endangerment. The search warrant was served, and Spokane Valley Investigations Unit (SVIU) detectives located and seized a loaded (one round in the chamber) Glock 19 9min pistol, a Glock 19 magazine, and multiple small pills (approximately 200 or more) believed to contain Fentanyl. SVIU Detectives charged the suspect with an additional felony of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. Stabbing near the Spokane River - Spokane Valley Major Crimes Detectives are investigating a reported stabbing near the Spokane River in the 16600 block of E. Indiana. The juvenile male was transported to the hospital with what appeared to be possible life -threatening injuries. A Page 9 second juvenile who was with the victim was not injured. This investigation continues, and no arrests have been made. In late October, at approximately 4:15 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of a possible stabbing in the 16600 block of E. Indiana, between the Centennial Trail and the Spokane River. The juvenile caller stated his friend was stabbed in the chest/torso. Deputies arrived and contacted the caller within minutes and were led to the victim's location. They immediately assessed the victim's injuries and provided medical care until Spokane Valley Firefighters arrived. The victim was transported to the hospital with possible life -threatening wounds. The caller stated he and the victim were down by the Centennial Trail, shooting a pellet gun. He walked away for a minute into the trees and suddenly heard the victim yell. When he looked back, he observed a male in all -black clothing running away. A K9 Unit and a Spokane County Regional Air Support Unit UAS were used to search for the suspect but were unsuccessful. A couple days later, Spokane Valley Major Crimes Detectives interviewed the victim of the stabbing. At that time, he was still hospitalized, but listed in stable condition. The victim provided additional information regarding the suspect, describing him as a white male in his mid-3 0s, approximately 5' 11 " tall, with a thin build, mustache, and a "pointy nose." He was wearing all black clothing except for his shoes, which were described as black with a white Nilce swoosh. Through the continued investigation, a second interview was conducted with the victim where he admitted he initially lied because he was afraid of the 16-year-old male suspect after he had been violently attacked. He explained the vicious stabbing was unprovoked, and the juvenile suspect attacked him from behind. Afterward, the suspect would not call 911 until the victim, stabbed six times, promised he wouldn't "snitch," and they devised a fake story and description of the fictitious attacker. The day following the attack, detectives, with the assistance of Spokane Search and Rescue Volunteer B. Everson and her partner K9 Nyjah, certified in human remains detection, recovered a knife believed to have been used in the attack near the crime scene. One week after the incident occurred, Detective Bohanek identified and arrested the juvenile suspect, charging him with 1st Degree Assault. The suspect was transported and booked into the Spokane County Juvenile Detention Center on that charge. Suspects Attempt to Steal Flatbed Trailer, and Mini Excavator, Victim Fires a Pistol at Suspects who Drove at Him - Spokane Valley Major Crimes Detectives were investigating an incident where a victim chased down two suspects attempting to steal the victim's flatbed trailer and mini excavator. The victim tried to block the suspect's vehicle, but the driver , backed up and then drove toward the victim, causing him to fear for his safety, and he fired his pistol at the suspect's truck. The victim continued to try and follow the suspect's truck and stolen equipment, later found abandoned near N. Morton Street and E. North Avenue. Spokane Police Officers assisted with the search for the suspects, but they were not located. In late October, at approximately 7:30 am, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of a stolen flatbed trailer and mini excavator in the 1300 block of N. Bowdish Road in Spokane Valley. The caller stated her husband was in his truck chasing the suspected thieves, who attached their (suspect's) truck to the trailer with the excavator and drove away. A couple of minutes later, additional callers reported hearing gunshots in the 1500 block of N. Bowdish. At approximately 8:00 am, callers reported a truck pulling a trailer/excavator was being m wme eauvrr SHERIFF Page 10 chased near E. Wabash Avenue and N. Martin Street. The suspect's truck and stolen trailer/excavator were located near N. Morton Street and E. North Avenue. Spokane Police Officers assisted, and a perimeter was quickly established. A K9 Unit and UASs were used during the search, but the suspects were not located. A significant amount of blood was found on the passenger's side floorboard of the suspect's truck, and it is believed at least one of the suspects was injured during the incident. Major Crimes Detectives responded to continue the investigation. The suspect's truck and the victim's trailer, excavator, and handgun were all seized as evidence. The victim was cooperative and later released without charges. When located, the suspects could face several charges, including felony assault and theft. Suspect #1 was described as a white male in his 40s, wearing a bright neon jacket. Suspect #2 was described as a white male in his 40s, heavy set, wearing a red jacket, and limping (possibly shot in the leg). Detectives continued the investigation and ultimately identified the two male suspects. Charges have been filed on the 29-year-old male for 2nd Assault and 1st Theft, and on the 46-year-old suspect (who sustained two gunshot wounds) for 1st Theft. Neither suspect has been located or arrested.

The caller reported four or five males were attempting to break into the locked bathroom at the park by using a 2 x 4 to break the lock. A second caller provided similar information but added one of the doors had been opened, and the maintenance room appeared to have been vandalized. The caller stated one of the males might live in the 11700 -- 11800 block of E. 15th Avenue. The arriving deputy found the doors open and observed fresh graffiti and paint spilled on the ground, garbage can, and grass around the building. One of the door locks was also destroyed.
