Transportation Benefit District (TBD) —Bill Helbig; and Deanna Gregory with Pacifica Law Group— Bill Helbig After Mr.Helbig introduced Ms.Deanna Gregory,he gave an overview of the formation of a TBD, as well as some background on the Pavement Management Program(PMP)and that tonight will be an opportunity to discuss possible funding sources. Mr. Helbig explained that Council previously indicted they wanted more information about the requirements and process of forming a TBD; so tonight is just for information, and if Council wants additional information on funding processes,staff will bring back further information. Ms. Gregory then went through her PowerPoint presentation giving an overview of TBDs,including their purpose,revenue authority as well as vehicle license fee limits. She also went over the formation process and governance; said that there are over 100 TBDs in the state so it is a widely used financial tool and she showed a chart with regional example of cities that have formed a TBD, along with their sales tax percentage and vehicle license fee;she noted ballot measure requirements for voter approved revenues,and touched on the process and election dates. Councilmember Peetz asked what a 1% sales tax TBD would equal and Mr. Helbig said based on 2021 sales tax collections,it would generate about$3.7 million. There was discussion about the ability to limit the funds to a certain function like preservation and maintenance; and that any ballot language must be precise in the intent of the TBD; to a suggestion to include in the language that this would, for example, include current and future boundaries. There was also some discussion about a regional TBD with Mr. Hohman explaining that there could be a separate, but related, multi jurisdictional or regional TBD. Mr. Helbig said that more research would need to be performed on the regional question, and he asked if Council would like staff to bring more information about the formation, as well as draft documents, and there appeared to be a consensus to do so. Mr. Hohman added that potential funding opportunities discussion will occur later as tonight's first focus is more on formation. 5. Closed City Property—Cary Driskell City Attorney Driskell explained that the City owns various parcels of real property,some intended for use by the public and others not, such as swales; and that the public at present has no means to determine if property is open or closed; and that he is therefore proposing an ordinance to clarify this issue; as well as a resolution listing the names of the properties, since resolutions can be amended easier than ordinances. There was Council consensus that staff proceed as proposed. 6.American Rescue Plan Act(ARPA)Update—Erik Lamb, Chelsie Taylor Deputy City Manager Lamb explained that as noted on the Request for Council Action,we have received approximately $16 million from the CLFR fund and to-date,have spent or obligated over half Mr. Lamb stated that applicants can find information on our website to use the 'web portal' to submit proposals in response to the City's Request for Proposals(RFP);and that responses are due by 4 p.m.February 10,2023. Mr. Lamb added that there is an incorrect link to that portal on his Request for Council Action Form, and he noted the correct web link via a slide. Mr. Lamb said that something for Council to think about for a later date,but not tonight,is does Council want to withhold any of the funds for land acquisition, and if so, how much; he said the RFP is set up to be flexible and in about two weeks, he will ask for input. In Council Meeting Minutes,Study Session:01-17-23 Page 2 of 3 Approved by Council: Draft continuing through the Request for Council Action form,Mr.Lamb noted there are two critical components for Council's consideration,the first is whether any of the almost$6 million should be withheld for potential land acquisition, as previously noted, and the second is that Council will rank proposals using criteria, which Council should confirm. After discussion on the criteria, it was determined to also add that a goal for affordable housing is diversity of residents, families and seniors and not just all low income, and something prioritized that affects children; acquisition and conversion; a tax incentive or construction exemption for developers to designate a certain portion of the development for the 50% median income; senior and ambulatory housing;veterans;other groups that may'fall through the cracks';leveraging money; and the working poor;and there was consensus to add those. Mr.Lamb said staff will return in a few weeks with an update. Mayor Haley called for a recess at 7:24 p.m.; she reconvened the meeting at 7:30 p.m. 7. Open Public Meetings Act Training—Tony Beattie Senior Deputy City Attorney Beattie gave Council the annual training on the Public Records Act, and the Open Public Meetings Act. 8.Advance Agenda—Mayor Haley There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda.

Code Text Amendment, SVMC 19.30—Marty Palaniuk Via his PowerPoint,Mr. Palaniuk explained that an issue was brought to the attention of staff concerning the intrusion of more intense land uses into areas of less intense uses, and he noted that the cause of this is because the City code currently does not include criteria for a change to the land use designation map; he noted there are criteria for zoning map amendments to allow land use changes when adjacent to the same or higher zoning classification, but nothing to change the land use designation map. Mr. Palaniuk stated that the proposed solution is to develop criteria to consider for privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan map amendments,including the effect on surrounding land use and traffic circulation; existence of logical boundaries;avoid creating or expanding peninsulas,islands or protrusions into different Council Meeting Minutes,Formal:01-24-2023 Page 4 of 5 Approved by Council: DRAFT land use; and that such request must meet zoning map amendment criteria.

Mr. Hohman also noted that there are many legislative issues so far this session and staff work to stay on top of the issues; he extended thanks to Ms. Virginia Clough,the City's Legislative Policy Coordinator who is working on a system to track some of issues of concern to our City; and said he appreciated the testimony provided on behalf of some of the bills. Mr. Hohman mentioned a new opportunity that has generated from the Washington Recreation Park Association will be holding the upcoming Great Outdoors Legislative Day February 1 which will be attended by our staff; that one of the request staff will be looking for from the legislature is to allocate$5 million to support deferred maintenance grants for local parks; said staff assumed Council would be supportive of that but wanted to discuss it; adding that the WRPA also has a program which we have taken advantage of,which help fund Greenacres Park, and said that funding for improvements is coming from this program; and there were no objections from Council for us supporting this at the legislative process. Mr.Hohman said that we are in the last week of having our City Attorney with us as a city employee; that Mr. Driskell is moving on to other pastures and that this is to notify the community and to also publicly thank Mr.Driskell for his more than 20+years of steadfast support of the City.

A review of these sections found that there were two related issues: (1) there are no criteria for privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan land use amendments and (2) a property can be eligible for a site-specific zoning map amendment if it is adjacent to a property zoned the same or higher zone, which includes corner touches and property located across right-of-way. These issues taken together allow for more intense zoning and land use designations to intrude into less intense zones and land use designations. CTA-2022-0003 is a city-initiated code text amendment to revise chapter 19.30 SVMC by providing criteria that shall be considered for privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan land use map amendments and privately initiated site-specific zoning map amendments. Planning Commission held study sessions on the proposed amendment on October 13 and November 10, 2022.The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposal on December 8, 2022. On December 22, 2022, the Planning Commission voted 5-1 (one dissenting vote and one Commissioner absent) to forward to City Council a recommendation to approve CTA-2022-0003. City Council received an administrative report on the proposed amendment on January 24, 2023. Tonight, City Council will consider a First Reading of Ordinance 23-005. OPTIONS: Move to advance Ordinance 23-005 to a Second Reading with or without further amendments, or take other action deemed appropriate.

PUBLIC COMMENT: There was no public comment. 10-13-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of3 IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS: a. Study Session: CTA-2022-0003: Privately Initiated Map Amendments Update Associate Planner Martin Palaniuk gave a staff report. He stated that CTA-2022-0003 is a city-initiated code text amendment to revise Chapter 19.30 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) as it relates to privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan land use map amendments and privately initiated site-specific zoning map amendments. The proposed regulation would identify additional criteria that would be "considered"when reviewing the proposed map amendments. Mr. Palaniuk explained that there is a planning concern regarding the intrusion of more intense land uses into areas of less intense uses. The cause of this concern is because the SVMC does not identify criteria for approving a change to the land use designation map and the criteria for zoning map amendments allows land use changes when adjacent to the same or higher zoning classification. However, the code does not define the word "higher" regarding zoning classifications. The code also includes "corner touches" and allows crossing right-of-way. Mr. Palaniuk explained that the City has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation Map which identifies the different land uses throughout the community. Each of the uses are implemented through the Zoning Map. These maps generally look the same, except for Single-Family Residential (SFR). Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments are only allowed one time per year. The decision authority is the City Council. Changes to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map automatically require a zoning map amendment because the two maps must be consistent. Therefore,both map amendments are done concurrently. Mr. Palaniuk stated that Zoning Map Amendments must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan land use designation. They can be requested at any time(unless a Comprehensive Plan Map amendment is required as well). The decision authority is the Spokane Valley Hearing Examiner. Changes to the zoning map may or may not require a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment. Any change other than a residential zone requires a change to the Comprehensive Plan land use map. Mr.Palaniuk said that the proposed code text language would develop criteria to"consider"for privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments that includes the following: • The effect on surrounding land use and traffic circulation • The existence of logical boundaries • Avoids creating peninsulas or protrusions into different land use zones • Meets all zoning map amendment criteria. Mr. Palaniuk stated that the proposed code text language would also develop criteria for site-specific zoning map amendments that includes the following: • Avoiding protrusions into different zoning districts • Considers boundaries and barriers • States that properties must be adjacent to and contiguous to a similar zoning district • Defines "similar"as allowing substantially similar uses or density. Mr. Palaniuk explained that the existing regulations for Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments state that changes can only occur once per year, except for limited circumstances. The proposed regulations will keep the current existing regulations and add the following considerations: • The effect on surrounding land uses and transportation circulation 1D-13-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 3 • Avoid allowing changes that extend across freeways, highways, railroad, • Avoid changes that create peninsulas or intrusions • Changes would follow rezoning criteria. Mr. Palaniuk stated that the existing regulations for the zoning map criteria state the following: • Concurrency. • Consistent with the comprehensive plan • Substantial relation to public health • Is needed for comprehensive plan goals, • Adjacent to a higher zone • Cannot be detrimental to surrounding properties • Must have community wide benefit. Mr. Palaniuk said that the proposed regulations will keep all the current existing regulations except for "adjacent to a higher zone"and would add the following: • Must avoid creating peninsulas or intrusions • Must consider right-of-way, river, railroad corridors • Must be adjacent to a substantially similar zoning district. Commissioner Beaulac asked if there will be a definition for "detrimental to surrounding properties". Mr. Palaniuk stated that staff will do an initial analysis of detriment which will then go to the Planning Commission for recommendation and to the City Council for the final determination. Mr. Palaniuk stated that another study session for this item will be held on November 10, 2022 and a public hearing will be held on December 8, 2022. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: There was nothing offered for the Good Of The Order. XI.

VIII. PUBLIC COMMENT: There was no public comment. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS: 11-10-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 4 a. Study Session: STV-2022-0003 - Privately initiated street vacation request to vacate 21 square feet of public right-of-way adjacent to University Road. Planner Basinger presented a staff report. He stated that the piece of public right-of-way(ROW) is located west of and adjacent to University Road and is approximately 170-feet south of the intersection with 16th Avenue. The subject piece of ROW measures approximately 4.5 feet east/west by 5 feet north/south. Mr. Basinger explained that the ROW was dedicated to the City of Spokane Valley by Spokane County pursuant to Spokane County Resolution No. 11-0698 in 2011 for the purpose of placing a school zone flashing beacon in this location. According to the resolution, the county engineer deemed it in the best interest of the public to place the beacon upon be a part of the road ROW. The beacon assembly has since been relocated to north of 16th Avenue and only the foundation for the assembly remains on the site. Other than the foundation for the former assembly, the right-of-way is unimproved. The right-of-way is not being used and is not needed by the City. The subject ROW and foundation for the former flashing beacon are located behind the existing sidewalk and behind the existing storm drains within University Road. The City does not plan to remove the foundation if the right-of-way is vacated. There are also no identified utility lines or easements that pass through the piece of right-of-way in question. Mr. Basinger said that the ROW is adjacent to parcel #45291.0125 on three sides. The parcel is owned by Ann S. Easterly 2018 Living Trust, who is also the owner of the adjacent parcel to the north, at the southwest corner of 16th Avenue and University Road. The property owner has requested the 21-square feet of right-of-way be vacated and aggregated into the adjacent property because it no longer serves a public purpose. Mr. McKinley asked if the removal of the foundation will be the responsibility of the property owner. Mr. Basinger responded that it will be their responsibility if they decide to remove it. The public hearing will be held at the December 10, 2022 Planning Commission meeting. b. Study Session: CTA-2022-0003—Privately Initiated Map Amendments Update Associate Planner Martin Palaniuk gave a staff report. He stated that CTA-2022-0003 is a city-initiated code text amendment to revise Chapter 19.30 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) as it relates to privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan land use map amendments and privately initiated site-specific zoning map amendments. The proposed regulation would identify additional criteria that would be "considered" when reviewing the proposed map amendments. Mr. Palaniuk explained that there is a planning concern regarding the intrusion of more intense land uses into areas of less intense uses. The cause of this concern is because the SVMC does not identify criteria for approving a change to the land use designation map and the criteria for zoning map amendments allows land use changes when adjacent to the same or higher zoning classification. However, the code does not define the word "higher" regarding zoning classifications. The code also includes "corner touches" and allows crossing right-of-way. Mr. Palaniuk explained that the City has a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation Map which identifies the different land uses throughout the community. Each of the uses are implemented through the Zoning Map. These maps generally look the same, except for Single-Family Residential (SFR). Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments are only allowed one time per year. The decision authority is the City Council. Changes to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map automatically require a zoning 11-10-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4 map amendment because the two maps must be consistent. Therefore, both map amendments are done concurrently. Mr. Palaniuk stated that Zoning Map Amendments must be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan land use designation. They can be requested at any time(unless a Comprehensive Plan Map amendment is required as well). The decision authority is the Spokane Valley Hearing Examiner. Changes to the zoning map may or may not require a Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map amendment. Any change other than a residential zone requires a change to the Comprehensive Plan land use map, Mr. Palaniuk said that the proposed code text language would develop criteria to"consider"for privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments that include the following: • The effect on surrounding land use and traffic circulation • The existence of logical boundaries • Avoids creating peninsulas or protrusions into different land use zones • Meets all zoning map amendment criteria. Mr. Palaniuk stated that the proposed code text language would also develop criteria for site-specific zoning map amendments that include the following: • Avoiding protrusions into different zoning districts • Considers boundaries and barriers • States that properties must be adjacent to and contiguous to a similar zoning district • Defines "similar" as allowing substantially similar uses or density. Mr. Palaniuk explained that the existing regulations for Comprehensive Plan Map Amendments state that changes can only occur once per year, except for limited circumstances. The proposed regulations will keep the current existing regulations and add the following considerations: • The effect on surrounding land uses and transportation circulation • Avoid allowing changes that extend across freeways, highways, & railroads • Avoid changes that create peninsulas or intrusions • Changes would follow rezoning criteria. Mr. Palaniuk stated that the existing regulations for the zoning map criteria state the following: • Concurrency • Consistent with the comprehensive plan • Substantial relation to public health • Is needed for comprehensive plan goals • Adjacent to a higher zone • Cannot be detrimental to surrounding properties • Must have community wide benefit. Mr. Palaniuk said that the proposed regulations will keep all the current existing regulations except for "adjacent to a higher zone" and would add the following: • Must avoid creating peninsulas or intrusions • Must consider right-of-way, river, and railroad corridors • Must be adjacent to a substantially similar zoning district Mr. Palaniuk stated that the public hearing will be held on December 8, 2022. Commissioner Beaulac asked about provisions and cooperation between entities for properties that are adjacent to County properties. Mr. Palaniuk answered that most of the adjacent properties have already 11-10-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 4 been given zoning designations and are outlined in the Urban Growth Area map. Mr. Bates stated that the City and the County works together on coordination of growth in those areas. Commissioner Haneke expressed concern about the necessity of the proposed changes and if they were really needed. He commented that the changes could limit growth in the Valley and take away the property owners rights to develop their property. He feels that the current regulations have enough restrictions for approval decisions to be made. Commissioner Delucchi commented that she thinks these changes could help preserve historic neighborhoods in the City. A short recess was called at 7:02 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 7:06. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: There was nothing offered for the Good Of The Order. XI. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Beaulac moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:07 p.m. The vote on the motion was seven in favor, zero against and the motion passed.

COMMISSION BUSINESS: a. Public Hearing: STV-2022-0003 - Privately initiated street vacation request to vacate 21 square feet of public right-of-way adjacent to University Road. 12-08-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 5 The public hearing was opened at 6:05 p.m. Planner Basinger presented a staff report. He stated that the piece of public right-of-way (ROW) is located west of and adjacent to University Road and is approximately 170-feet south of the intersection with 16th Avenue. The subject piece of ROW measures approximately 4.5 feet east/west by 5 feet north/south. Mr. Basinger reported that notice of the public hearing was posted at the area to be vacated and in three places throughout the City. Written notice of the hearing was mailed to the property owner of the abutting property and notice was published in the Valley Herald on two occasions. Mr. Basinger explained that the ROW was dedicated to the City of Spokane Valley by Spokane County pursuant to Spokane County Resolution No. 11-0698 in 2011 for the purpose of placing a school zone flashing beacon in this location. According to the resolution, the county engineer deemed it in the best interest of the public to place the beacon upon be a part of the road ROW. The beacon assembly has since been relocated to north of 16th Avenue and only the foundation for the assembly remains on the site. Other than the foundation for the former assembly, the right-of-way is unimproved. The right-of-way is not being used and is not needed by the City. The subject ROW and foundation for the former flashing beacon are located behind the existing sidewalk and behind the existing storm drains within University Road. The City does not plan to remove the foundation if the right-of-way is vacated. There are also no identified utility lines or easements that pass through the piece of right-of-way in question. Mr. Basinger stated that staff has reviewed the approval criteria and has the determined the following: • The vacation will better serve the public by reducing the Cities maintenance obligations and allowing full development of the private property. • The ROW is not required for public use or public access. • There is no need to substitute a new or different public ROW • The City does not anticipate that conditions will change in the future requiring use of the ROW, • The City has not received any objections from the public or agencies. There was no public comment offered. The public hearing was closed at 6:12 p.m. Commissioner Miller moved to recommend approval of the proposed street vacation STV-2022-0003 to the City Council subject to all staff conditions. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was Jive in favor, zero against and the motion passed. b. Study Session: CTA-2022-0003—Privately Initiated Map Amendments Update The public hearing was opened at 6:14 p.m. Associate Planner Martin Palaniuk gave a staff report, He stated that CTA-2022-0003 is a city-initiated code text amendment to revise Chapter 19.30 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) as it relates to privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan land use map amendments and privately initiated site-specific zoning map amendments. The proposed regulation would identify additional criteria that would be "considered"when reviewing the proposed map amendments. Mr. Palaniuk explained that there is a planning concern regarding the intrusion of more intense land uses into areas of less intense uses.

She said that she would like to see the City maintain traditional historic neighborhoods and keep large developments from coming in and changing those neighborhoods. The public hearing was closed at 6:37 p.m. Commission Miller moved to recommend approval of CTA-2022-0003 to the City Council based on the findings presented in the staff report. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was five in favor, zero against and the motion passed. c. Study Session: CTA-2022-0004—Stormwater Management Regulations Update Engineering Manager Adam Jackson gave a staff presentation. He stated that the Washington Dept of Ecology defines stormwater as rain and snow melt that runs off rooftops, paved streets, highways, and parking lots. Uncontrolled stormwater runoff can collect pollutants and harm the environment. Ecology issues various federal and state permits to control surface and groundwater pollution. The City's Stormwater Utility exists to ensure compliance with those applicable permits. Mr. Jackson explained that the Ecology's permitting process requires a Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4). To maintain compliance with the MS4,the City is required to update code text in the SVMC with specific language set forth by Ecology. Stormwater Engineer Chad Phillips explained that the proposed amendment will apply to three sections of the code. The change needs to include language in the illicit discharge section,the construction site stormwater water run-off controls section, and the post construction stormwater management section. Mr. Phillips explained that the change to the illicit discharge section will include an expanded list of exempted discharges, a list of conditionally exempt discharges, and an amendment for private property prevention of illicit discharge. There will also be an addition of a declaration of violation and an enforcement process and procedure. Mr. Phillips explained that the construction site stormwater run-off controls section and the post construction stormwater management section will include language regarding inspections on private property. There are conditions within the permit that the City inspect stormwater facilities every five years. Mr. Jackson stated that the public hearing will be held on January 12, 2023. Commissioner Robinson asked if displacement from new development is regulated by the amended codes. Mr. Jackson responded that the Cities development regulation standards and flood plain development permits that address that type of water run-off. Commission Robinson asked if stormwater filters into the sewer system. Mr. Phillips explained that the City uses other types of filtration and systems to keep stormwater from overflowing the sewer system. Commissioner Beaulac asked the process for reporting stormwater run-off violations. Mr. Phillips answered that residents should contact the City and the City will start the process to determine if a violation has occurred. 12-08-2022 Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 5 Commissioner Delucchi asked who maintains the dry wells. Mr. Jackson responded that dry wells in the public ROW are the responsibility of the City. Dry wells on private property are the responsibility of the property owner. However,the City does have an inspection program and maintenance/clean-up process. X.

Proposal Description: A City initiated code text amendment to revise chapter 19.30 SVMC as it relates to privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan land use map amendments and privately initiated site-specific zoning map amendments. The proposed regulation will identify additional criteria that shall be considered when reviewing the proposed map amendments. APPROVAL CRITERIA: Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, SVMC 17.80.150, and 19.30.040. SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS: Staff concludes that CTA-2022-0003 is consistent with the minimum criteria for review and approval,and consistent with the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. STAFF CONTACT: Martin Palaniuk,Associate Planner REVIEWED BY: Chaz Bates,Planning Manager ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit 1: Proposed Amendment Exhibit 2: SEPA DNS Threshold Determination Exhibit 3: Notice of Public Hearing Exhibit 4: Department of Commerce Notice APPLICATION PROCESSING: Chapter 17.80 SVMC,Permit Processing Procedures. The following table summarizes the procedural steps for the proposal. Procedural Action Date SEPA—DNS Issued November 18,2022 Published Notice of Public Hearing: November 18,2022 Department of Commerce 60-day: November 18,2022 BACKGROUND: The City of Spokane Valley has two maps that are subject to the review and approval requirements of Chapter 19.30 SVMC Changes and Amendments. The first is the City's Comprehensive Plan Land Use map which designates general land uses that are permissible on properties city-wide. Examples of land uses include industrial uses,commercial uses,mixed uses(commercial/residential,commercial/industrial), multi-family residential uses, and residential uses. The designation of a general land use determines what general category of land uses will be permitted on the property. Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2022-0003 The Zoning Map is the second map subject to the review and approval criteria of chapter 19.30 SVMC. The Zoning Map establishes specific zoning districts. Zoning districts identify the specific uses that are permitted on a property and the applicable development regulations within a zoning district. Examples of specific uses are schools, single-family dwellings, duplexes, recycling facility, hotel/motel, and medical office. Examples of development regulations include density,minimum lot area,building height,setbacks, and open space requirements. The Land Use map and the Zoning map are linked together and must be consistent with each other. If a property has a comprehensive plan land use map designation,then the zoning map must be consistent for specific land uses to be allowed and development regulations to be applied. In nearly all cases the City's land use designation is mirrored by and implemented by a single zoning district. The industrial land use designation is implemented through a single industrial zone. The multi-family residential land use designation is implemented through a single multi-family residential zone. The only land use designation that is implemented through multiple zones is the single-family residential land use designation. The four single-family residential zones(R-1 thru R-4)allow for the application of different densities and minimum lot areas throughout the single-family land use designation. Any change to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation map is considered an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Pursuant to the Growth Management Act,cities may only amend the Comprehensive Plan once a year. By default, any Zoning map amendment request that requires a change to the Land Use map requires a Comprehensive Plan amendment. Pursuant to SVMC 17.80.140 Comprehensive Plan amendments are classified as a Type IV application. The Planning Commission is required to hold a public hearing on the amendment and then make a recommendation to the City Council. City Council will then approve,disapprove,or modify the proposed amendment. Zoning map changes from a lower intensity single-family residential zoning district to a higher intensity zoning district,R-3 to R-4 for example,do not require a land use map change because the change from one single-family zoning district to another single-family zoning district remains consistent with the single- family residential land use designation. Zoning map amendments of this type are classified as a Type III application,which requires a public hearing and decision by the Hearing Examiner. Review of past privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan land use and zoning map amendments identified a need for a code text amendment to SVMC 19.30.010 Comprehensive Plan text and map amendments and SVMC 19.30.030 Site-specific zoning map amendments. Chapter 19.30 SVMC (Changes and Amendments) outlines the process for amending the Comprehensive Plan(text and map), area-wide rezones, and site-specific rezones.A review of chapter 19.30 SVMC found that there were two related issues:(1)there are no criteria for privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan land use amendments and (2) a property can be eligible for a site-specific zoning map amendment if it is adjacent to a property zoned the same or higher zone. Adjacent includes corner touches and across right-of-way.Additionally,there is ambiguity in what classifies as a"higher zone". Conceptually,this can be interpreted either as a more intensive zone (Industrial is higher than Multiple Family), or the allowed uses are similar but more dense(Multiple Family is higher than Single Family).These issues taken together allow for more intense zoning and land use designations extending into less intense zones. CTA-2022-0003 is a city-initiated code text amendment to revise chapter 19.30 SVMC as it relates to privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan land use map amendments and privately initiated site- specific zoning map amendments. The proposed regulation will identify additional criteria that shall be "considered" when reviewing any proposed privately initiated site-specific Comprehensive Plan map amendments. The amendment will also revise the criteria for privately initiated site-specific zoning map amendments. Staff Analysis Page 2 of 5 Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2022-0003 SVMC 17.80.140 provides approval criteria for Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zoning map amendments. Comprehensive Plan amendments include any modifications to the Comprehensive Plan including a privately initiated site-specific land use designation amendment. The City may only approve Comprehensive Plan amendments and area-wide zoning map amendments if it finds that: the proposed amendment bears a substantial relationship to the public health, safety,welfare, and protection of the environment; the proposed amendment is consistent with the requirements of Chapter 36.70A RCW and with the portion of the City's adopted plan not affected by the amendment;the proposed amendment responds to a substantial change in conditions beyond the property owner's control applicable to the area within which the subject property lies;the proposed amendment corrects an obvious mapping error;or the proposed amendment addresses an identified deficiency in the Comprehensive Plan. The City shall also consider the following factors prior to approving Comprehensive Plan amendments: the effect upon the physical environment;the effect on open space,streams,rivers,and lakes;the compatibility with and impact on adjacent land uses and surrounding neighborhoods; the adequacy of and impact on community facilities including utilities,roads,public transportation,parks,recreation,and schools;the benefit to the neighborhood,city, and region; the quantity and location of land planned for the proposed land use type and density and the demand for such land;the current and projected population density in the area; and the effect upon other aspects of the Comprehensive Plan. These criteria apply to all Comprehensive Plan amendments but are not instructive when considering a change to a site-specific land use designation. Since the land use designation is tightly linked to the zoning district it's beneficial to review the land use designation change and the zone change using similar criteria. The proposed amendment will more closely align the land use designation with the effects of development allowed within the implementing zoning district by requiring any changes to the land use designation to consider those effects. Changing the land use designation changes the resulting development with respect to the intensity of the uses,the density of dwellings,lot coverages,building heights,and setbacks among many factors. The amendment will require the approval authority to consider these effects. A review of the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation map and the Zoning map reveals that uses and zones are often separated along natural boundaries and barriers. Industrial zones within the northeast portion of the City are separated from residential and mixed-use zones by the Spokane River with the industrial zones north of the river. Corridor Mixed Use zones along south Dishman-Mica are separated from the low-density residential zones by Chester Creek and the railroad right-of-way. Generally,4th Avenue separates the multi-family residential zones along the north side of 4th Avenue from the single- family residential zones along the south side of 4th Avenue. The R-4 zoning district is separated from the R-3 zoning district by 8th Avenue when south of Sprague Avenue and Broadway Avenue when north of Sprague. These natural barriers and boundaries provide a logical demarcation between uses and different zoning intensities and should be observed when practical. The proposed amendment will require that these natural lines of demarcation be considered when reviewing a Land Use map amendment or Zoning map amendment. Chapter 22.20 SVMC provides for Concurrency review. Concurrency requires that adequate facilities, specifically,transportation,public water,and public sewer, are available when development occurs. These services must be concurrent with development but other facilities and services such as parks and recreation,libraries,solid waste disposal, fire protection,police protection, and schools should also be considered. When considering a Land Use map or Zoning Map amendment it is often unknown what specific development will occur. Because the specific development is unknown,the need for transportation,public sewer, and public water are unknown. This makes the review of a map amendment for the concurrency requirements of Chapter 22.20 SVMC impractical. The proposed amendment will instead require a general review of the capacity of transportation,public water, and sewer to meet the demands of the proposed new land use. Page 3 of 5 Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2022-0003 To be considered for a zoning map amendment a property must"be adjacent(which shall include corner touches and property located across public right-of-way)to property of the same or higher zoning classification." The criteria are problematic for evaluating a zoning map amendment. Interstate 90 is considered public right-of-way. Technically the Industrial zoned property on the north side of Interstate 90 is adjacent to the property on the south side of the interstate. A property could be surrounded on all four sides by a common zone but if a corner of a property touches a property that has a higher zone,then the property is eligible for a rezone. This can create peninsulas of a higher zone surrounded by lower zones. The term"higher zoning"is problematic in that it is undefined. Is the Industrial(I)zone higher than the Regional Commercial(RC)zone? The I zone is likely to generate heavy truck or rail traffic and loading and storage areas. The RC zone is likely to create personal vehicle traffic and large commercial buildings and parking areas. Is the Multi-family Residential(MFR) zone higher than the Regional Commercial Zone? The MFR zone is likely to generate a much greater residential density with the need for transportation and individual services. If an applicant requests a rezone from MFR to RC,does it meet the "higher zoning"requirement? The proposed amendment will replace the criteria with more straightforward criteria intended to prevent the expansion of a zoning district into different zoning districts. The criteria will avoid creating or expanding zoning peninsulas or islands,or otherwise create intrusions into a different zoning district. Several amendments have come forward in the past that crossed logical boundaries and created intrusions into less intense zoning areas. The property owner went to considerable expense and time to put the amendment forth. Ultimately the City Council did not approve the amendments because of neighborhood opposition,or in the case of higher residential rezones the Hearing Examiner approved an amendment despite neighborhood opposition. The proposed amendment will lessen the likelihood that a neighborhood must activate to oppose the intrusion of an incompatible zone. The amendment will save property owners the expense and time of putting forth an amendment that is incompatible with the adjacent land uses. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 17 SVMC GENERAL PROVISIONS SVMC 17.80.150(F)identifies the approval criteria for an amendment to Titles 17-27 SVMC. The City may approve a Municipal Code Text amendment if it finds that: i. The proposed text amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan: ii. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety, welfare,and protection of the environment: Staff Analysis: The proposed amendment is supported by the Comprehensive Plan and is consistent with the following Comprehensive goals and policies: LU-G1 Maintain and enhance the character and quality of life in Spokane Valley. LU-G2 Provide for land uses that are essential to Spokane Valley residents,employees,and visitors. LU-P7 Protect residential neighborhoods from incompatible land uses and adverse impacts associated with transportation corridors H-P6 Preserve and enhance the city's established single-family neighborhoods by minimizing the impacts of more dense housing typologies such as duplexes and cottage development Staff Analysis: The proposed amendment bears substantial relation to public health, safety,welfare, and protection of the environment. The encroachment of incompatible densities and land use intensities into adjacent areas should be avoided. It is especially important to preserve the integrity of residential neighborhoods.

On June 30, 2020, Council passed a motion to execute the Interlocal Agreement between WSDOT and the City. The following are significant items contained within the Agreement as the project moves forward: • WSDOT is the lead agency in contracting and administering the Construction Contract. • WSDOT can issue change orders of $100,000 or less without the City's approval when cumulative change orders are less than $350,000. • Any single Change Order in excess of$100,000 requires City review and approval. • The City will be part of WSDOT's Final Inspection and Project Acceptance procedures. • The City will have the sole discretion to issue a Letter of Acceptance to WSDOT at the final project closeout. Acceptance will not be given by the City until it is fully satisfied with the project. • The City will reimburse WSDOT for all costs associated with project construction and construction administration. WSDOT advertised the project on November 23, 2020, and awarded the project on January 28, 2021, to Max J. Kuney Company in the amount of$11,637,134.00. The contractor completed the road improvements on Trent Ave. (SR 290), including the roundabout in 2021 and opened that portion of the project to the public. Construction was suspended during the winter and resumed in March 2022. The Contractor completed most of the road and bridge improvements on Barker Road by the end of October 2022. Due to unfavorable weather conditions in November and December of 2022, the remaining bridge work was not able to be completed in time to open the roadway to the public in 2022. The contractor anticipates completing the remaining bridge work in February and should have Barker Road opened to the public by the end of February 2023. After the overpass is open to traffic, the contractor will proceed with the work to permanently close Flora Road from Garland Avenue to Trent Avenue as required by BNSF and the FHWA TIGER Grant conditions. The contractor will complete the remaining minor items of work and any punch list items. WSDOT has been coordinating with staff on all change orders with Max J. Kuney Company regardless of their amounts. Currently, WSDOT has executed 32 change orders, including four Council approved change orders. Executed change orders have an accumulative total of $1,434,364.37. The attached Change Order No. 27 in the amount of$12,897.11 is the standby costs associated with the delay with BNSF in reviewing the temporary erosion control plans for the contractor's work within BNSF property. The attached Change Order No. 37 in the amount of$208,953.00 is the standby, rental, and overhead costs associated with the delay with BNSF in reviewing the Page 2 of 3 contractor's supplied work and forming plans for the bridge footing and column construction within the BNSF property. Change Order 37 also provides the contractor an additional 47 working days due to these delays. After Change Order 27 and 37 are executed, the new contract amount will be $13,293,348.48 which is 14.23% over the original contract. Staff will continue to work closely with WSDOT on all remaining change orders. All change orders that increase the amount of the contract will come before Council for approval as the $350,000 authorization limit has been reached. OPTIONS: 1) Authorize the City Manager to approve Change Order Numbers 27 and 37 with Max J. Kuney Company in the amount of $12,897.11 and $208,953.00 respectively, or 2) Take other appropriate action. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to approve Change Order Numbers 27 and 37 with Max J. Kuney Company in the amount of$12,987.11 and $208,953.00 respectively. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: To date, the City has secured funding in excess of$26,000,000 for the Barker Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project from seven sources. All change orders between WSDOT and Max J. Kuney Company will be funded from the project funds and are grant eligible.

While the City of Spokane Valley and many other cities across the state support removing barriers to the construction of housing, a bill has been proposed that appears to be advancing and gaining traction despite severe impacts to Washington cities and the residents and businesses within the communities we serve. Tonight staff will update City Council about the potential impacts this proposed bill could have on our City, and let our community know that what is happening in Olympia could have significant impacts upon their neighborhoods and their City's infrastructure needs. A description of HB 1110 states that it will increase middle housing in areas traditionally dedicated to single-family detached housing. While the goal of the bill to increase density with middle housing is well-intended, the bill itself is poorly constructed and the associated impacts to the City of Spokane Valley are cause for concern. Highlights of the bill include requirements for the City of Spokane Valley to: • Authorize development of at least four units per lot on all lots zoned for residential use; • Authorize development of six units per lot in all residential zones if at least two of the units are affordable; and • Authorize six units per lot in all residential zones within one half-mile walking distance of a major transit stop. In 2020, the City of Spokane Valley received a grant from the state to develop a Housing Action Plan, and concurrently adopted zoning amendments that created an R-4 zone that allows for 10 units per acre within a quarter mile of frequent transit throughout the city. This zoning change concentrated the density near frequent transit service and commercial services and in areas where City infrastructure can support higher density. The City's Housing Action Plan, adopted in 2021, recommends zoning and Accessory Dwelling Unit modifications and the evaluation of a Multifamily Tax Exemption Program. These items are currently in the City Council's workplan. Despite our City's careful and strategic planning effort, we would be mandated by the state to adhere to the proposed requirements in HB 1110 within two years of its adoption. The City's legislative efforts to date include Councilmember Woodard testifying to voice concerns at the January 17 public hearing before the House Housing Committee, and the City's lobbyist, Briahna Murray, working with the Association of Washington Cities to communicate cities' concerns about the bill. Additionally, City staff and Ms. Murray attended a January 20 meeting New Agenda Item: #3a with the bill's sponsor, Rep. Bateman, to express concerns about the proposed bill along with two dozen other cities. The bill was scheduled for an executive session by the House Housing Committee at 4:00 p.m. February 7, 2023. The next step in the process includes holding another public hearing before the House Appropriations Committee. The hearing date has not yet been announced. It should be noted that a number of agencies outside of local government have supported the bill despite opposition and concerns voiced by Washington cities. The City of Spokane Valley plans to stay engaged with this proposed legislation and keep our community informed as the process continues. We encourage the public to learn more about this bill and participate in the process if so inclined. Planning Manager Chaz Bates will update the Council on the specific impacts to the Spokane Valley community.

Brief Summary of Bill • Requires certain cities planning Minder the Growth Management Act to authorize minimum development densities in residential zones. • Establishes requirements for middle housing development regulations. • Requires the Department of Commerce to provide technical assistance to cities in implementing the requirements and to develop model missing housing ordinances. Hearing Date: 1/17/23 Staff: Serena Dolly(786-7150). Background: Growth Management Act. The Growth Management Act(GMA) is the comprehensive land use planning framework for counties and cities in Washington. The GMA establishes land use designation and environmental protection requirements for all Washington counties and cities. The GMA also establishes a significantly wider array of planning duties for 28 counties, and the cities within those counties, that are obligated to satisfy all planning requirements of the GMA. These This analysis was prepared by non-partisan legislative staff fog-the use of legislative members in their deliberations. This analysis is not part of the legislation nor does it constitute a statement of legislative intent. House Bill Analysis - 1 - HB 1110 jurisdictions are sometimes said to be "fully planning" under the GMA. Counties that fully plan under the GMA are required to designate urban growth areas (UGAs) within their boundaries sufficient to accommodate a planned 20-year population projection range provided by the Office of Financial Management. Each city located within a planning county must be included within a UGA. Urban growth must be encouraged within the UGAs, and only growth that is not urban in nature can occur outside of the UGAs. Each UGA must permit urban densities and include greenbelt and open space areas. Comprehensive Plans. The GMA directs fully planning jurisdictions to adopt internally consistent comprehensive land use plans that are generalized, coordinated land use policy statements of the governing body. Comprehensive plans are implemented through locally adopted development regulations, and both the plans and the local regulations are subject to review and revision requirements prescribed in the GMA. In developing their comprehensive plans, counties and cities must consider various goals set forth in statute. The GMA also establishes 14 goals in a non-prioritized list to guide the development of comprehensive plans and development regulations of counties and cities that plan under the GMA. Examples include urban growth,housing, and economic development goals. Mandatory Housing Element. Comprehensive plans must include a housing element that ensures the vitality and character of established residential neighborhoods. The housing element must include the following: • an inventory and analysis of existing and projected housing needs that identifies the number of housing units necessary to manage projected growth, as projected by the Department of Commerce (Department), including: • units for moderate-, low-,very low-, and extremely low-income households; and • emergency housing, emergency shelters, and permanent supportive housing; • a statement of goals,policies, objectives, and mandatory provisions for the preservation, improvement, and development of housing; • identification of sufficient capacity of land for various housing including government- assisted housing,housing for all levels of income, manufactured housing, and permanent supporting housing, and within an urban growth area, consideration of duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes; • adequate provisions for existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community, including: • incorporating housing for households of all income levels; • documenting programs and actions needed to achieve housing availability; • consideration of housing locations in relation to employment locations; and • consideration of the role of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in meeting housing needs; House Bill Analysis -2- HB 1110 • identification of local policies and regulations that result in racially disparate impacts, displacement, and exclusion of housing; • identification and implementation of policies and regulations to address and begin to undo racially disparate impacts, displacement, and exclusion of housing; • identification of neighborhoods that may be at higher risk of displacement from market forces; and • establishment of antidisplacement policies. Planning Actions to Increase Residential Building Capacity. Fully planning cities are encouraged to take an array of specified planning actions to increase residential building capacity. Specified planning actions include, for example: • authorizing middle housing types on parcels in one or more zoning districts that permit single-family residences unless unfeasible to do so; • authorizing cluster zoning or lot size averaging in all zoning districts that permit single- family residences; • adopting increases in categorical exemptions to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) for residential or mixed-use development; • adopting a form-based code in one or more zoning districts that permit residential uses; • authorizing a duplex on each corner lot within all zoning districts that permit single-family residences; • authorizing accessory-dwelling units in one or more zoning districts in which they are currently prohibited; • adopting ordinances authorizing administrative review of preliminary plats; and • allowing off-street parking to compensate for lack of on-street parking when private roads are utilized or a parking demand study shows that less parking is required. In general, ordinances and other nonproject actions taken to implement these specified planning actions, if adopted by April 1, 2023, are not subject to administrative or judicial appeal under SEPA or legal challenge under the GMA. Technical Assistance and Funding. The Department is required to assist cities and counties,both with funding and with technical assistance, in the adoption of comprehensive plans. The Department's assistance program must include a priority list for finding and technical assistance based on a county's or city's growth rate, commercial and industrial development rate, and the existence and quality of a comprehensive plan, among other factors. The Department is also required to administer a grant program to provide direct financial assistance to local governments for the preparation of comprehensive plans. Other technical assistance required to be provided by the Department includes utilizing the Department's staff and the staff of other agencies to assist in the development of comprehensive plans, including the provision of model land use ordinances, the adoption of procedural criteria, and regional education and training programs. House Bill Analysis -3 - HB 1110 Homeowners' Associations and Common Interest Communities. A homeowners' association(HOA) is a legal entity made up of members who are owners of residential real property located within the association's jurisdiction and who are required to pay dues for the upkeep of the association and common areas. An association can also adopt rules and regulate or limit the use of property by its members. A common interest community (CIC) is similar to an HOA and is made up of member-owners who are obligated to pay for the taxes, maintenance, or other costs of common areas. Like an HOA, a CIC can also regulate or limit the use of property by its members, including by adopting rules to establish and enforce construction and design criteria as well as aesthetic standards. A CIC may generally only be terminated by the agreement of at least 80 percent of the members. A restrictive covenant, or a restrictive deed, is a restriction or limitation of the use of the property that runs with the land. Summary of Bill: Density Requirements. A fully-planning city with a population of at least 6,000, or a city located within a contiguous urban growth area with a city with a population above 200,000,must authorize the development of: • at least four units per lot on all lots zoned for residential use; • six units per lot in all residential zones if at least two of the units are affordable; and • six units per lot in all residential zones within one half-mile of a major transit stop. To qualify as affordable housing,the applicant must commit to renting the unit at a rent that is affordable to low-income households for at least 50 years and record a covenant or deed restriction that ensures continued affordability. A major transit stop includes: • a stop on a high-capacity transportation system; • commuter rail stops; • stops on rail or fixed guideway systems; • stops on bus rapid transit routes; • stops for a bus or other transit mode meeting minimum frequency requirements; or ▪ Washington ferry terminals. Antidisplacement Measures. Cities subject to the density requirements that have not adopted local antidisplacement measures as a portion of the city's comprehensive plan housing element must,within nine months of the act's effective date: House Bill Analysis -4- HB 1110 • identify local policies and regulations that result in racially disparate impacts, displacement, and exclusion in housing; • identify and implement policies and regulations to address and begin to undo racially disparate impacts, displacement, and exclusion in housing caused by local policies,plans, and actions; • identify areas that may be at higher risk of displacement from market forces that occur with changes to zoning development regulations and capital investments; and • establish antidisplacement policies, with consideration given to the preservation of historical and cultural communities as well as investments in low,very low, extremely low, and moderate-income housing, equitable development initiatives, inclusionary zoning, community planning requirements, tenant protections, land disposition policies, and consideration of land that may be used for affordable housing. Middle Housing Requirements. Cities subject to the density requirements are directed to include specific provisions related to middle housing in their development regulations. Middle housing is defined as buildings that are compatible in scale, form, and character with single-family homes and contain two or more attached, stacked, or clustered homes including duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, fiveplexes, sixplexes, townhouses, courtyard apartments, and cottage housing. Any city subject to the middle housing requirements: • must adopt objective development and design standards on the development of middle housing that do not allow personal or subjective judgment and do not discourage the development of middle housing through unreasonable costs, fees, delays, or other requirements or actions which individually, or cumulatively, make impracticable the permitting, siting, or construction of all allowed middle housing types or the ownership of a middle housing unit; • may not require standards for middle housing that are more restrictive than those required for detached single-family residences; • must apply to middle housing the same development permit and environmental review processes that apply to detached single-family residences; • must apply to middle housing the same critical areas regulations that apply to detached single-family residences; • may not require off-street parking as a condition of permitting development of middle housing within one-half mile of a major transit stop; • may not require more than one off-street parking space per lot as a condition of permitting development of middle housing on lots smaller than 6,000 square feet; and • may not require more than two off-street parking spaces per lot as a condition of permitting development of middle housing on lots greater than 6,000 square feet. The density and middle housing requirements take effect the latter of 24 months after the effective date of the act for cities with at least 10,000 population or 12 months after the Office of Financial Management determines a city has reached a population threshold under this section. House Bill Analysis -5 - BB 1110 Technical Assistance. Commerce must provide technical assistance prioritized based on need to cities in implementing middle housing and average minimum density requirements. Commerce must develop and publish model middle housing ordinances within 18 months after the act takes effect. The model ordinances supersede,preempt, and invalidate local development regulations that fail to allow middle housing within the time frames provided. Commerce must establish a process for cities to seek approval of required local actions, and any local actions approved by Commerce are exempt from appeals under the GMA and SEPA. A city that adopts the density and missing middle regulations is deemed to be in compliance with the mandatory GMA element of making adequate provisions for existing and projected needs of all economic segments of the community until June 30, 2032. Extensions. Cities may apply for extensions of the timelines established. Extensions may only be applied to specific areas where a city has identified water, sewer, stormwater, or transportation services that are deficient or will become deficient within five years and for which the city has established a plan of action to remedy such services on a specific timeline. Homeowners' Associations and Common Interest Communities. Governing documents of HOAs and the governing documents and declarations of CICs within cities subject to the middle housing and density requirements that are created after the act takes effect may not prohibit the construction or development of the types of housing or density requirements that must be permitted within such cities. Appropriation: None. Fiscal Note: Requested on January 14, 2023. Effective Date: The bill takes effect 90 days after adjournment of the session in which the bill is passed.

At that time, it was the largest incorporation in Washington state and the 2nd largest single incorporation in U.S. history. In honor of its 20th anniversary of incorporation, Council authorized funding in 2022 to support 2023 public engagement activities that celebrate the City's past, present, and future. In response to a Request for Qualifications in 2022, the City contracted with Encore Events to design an anniversary celebration strategy and budget for recommendation to City Council. An incorporate celebration dinner is proposed for March 31, followed by the City's participation in events around the community through the remainder of the year. A year-long marketing campaign will recognize the anniversary, to include a traveling display and videos of the Spokane Valley story to be shown at events, on the city website, and on social media. In addition to promoting the 20th anniversary at community events, it was recognized this milestone anniversary also presents an opportunity for the City to strengthen its public image in alignment with its historic growth as a thriving community. Consultant Klundt Hosmer, which had worked with the City in 2021 to audit our external communication channels and provide a Communications Plan, researched and surveyed the community to recommend strategies for updating the City's public image congruent with the 20th anniversary. Under their new parent company One Sixteen & West, the consultants conducted an online survey of City Council, staff, Spokane Valley businesses, and city residents. Based on quantitative and qualitative findings, recommendations for the City of Spokane Valley's brand image (visual) include: • Leverage the 20th year celebration as a timely opportunity to refresh and moderately evolve the City's logo. As opposed to a complete rebrand requiring purchase and replacement of all printed materials, subtle updates to the logo would reflect the growth and maturity of the community, appealing to citizens, businesses, and visitors. Additionally, a minor update to the logo would take into account advancements in printing and digital technology applications since the logo was designed in 2003. • In response to survey respondents who were unaware of the City's brand, create Brand Standards to strategically guide how and where the brand image is implemented. Brand Standards would identify opportunities to extend visual awareness of the City's presence and operations (such as on signage, wayfinding, vehicles, and communication materials). Page 1 of 2 • Apply the Brand Standards to all communication materials, including website, social media, events, and promotional materials. While the City of Spokane Valley's 20th anniversary is a timely opportunity to implement a refreshed logo and build better brand awareness now and for years to come, the implementation timeline would also align with launch of the new website platform this summer. OPTIONS: Discussion RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus on Incorporation Celebration dinner on March 31. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Up to $50,000 to implement 20th anniversary recognition was authorized in 2022, in which $8,156.25 has been spent in consultant fees as of January 31, 2023. Events, marketing, and potentially an update of the City's logo and visual communications would not exceed the current budget allocation.

BACKGROUND: The current draft plan identifies three primary goals, which are in order of priority: 1. Whenever possible, prevent homelessness from initially occurring 2. Reduce levels of existing homelessness; and 3. Improve quality of life. Specific goals or prioritization of strategies will be determined at a later Council meeting, at which time staff will seek direction from the Council to determine how resources should be prioritized and which specific strategies to pursue. 1. Prevent Homelessness Homelessness prevention and diversion is targeted to those members of the public who are at risk of becoming homeless, and focuses on self-sufficiency and stabilization. Considered a national best practice, prevention is far less expensive than providing shelter beds with accompanying services. Additionally, preventing homelessness is a pro-active approach necessary for reducing future levels of homelessness. Any success in preventing homelessness now will pay dividends in the future both for those who are at risk of homelessness, and for the community at large. 2. Reduce Homelessness The second objective of this plan is to reduce current levels of homelessness. Because people experiencing homelessness are impacted by their own unique set of needs and challenges, multiple strategies must be employed simultaneously to achieve this objective. The transition from homelessness to being stably housed can be seen as a continuum, with certain interventions and resources needed in the initial stages of the process, with different resources and interventions needed at later stages. 3. Improve Quality of Life Improving quality of life for those housed and unhoused is the third objective in this plan. Homelessness can create significant adverse impacts for not only those experiencing homelessness, but for the surrounding community as well. Substance abuse, mental and physical health issues, and personal safety are critical issues facing those who are unhoused, while the surrounding community may see increased garbage and litter from encampments, increased crime, and loss of use of community facilities that are being used for encampments. This objective focuses on improving the quality of life and reducing the negative impacts for those experiencing homelessness as well as the surrounding community. Page 1 of 2 While the plan focuses on strategies that the City may pursue on its own, it also recognizes possible benefits of a regional approach to addressing specific aspects of homelessness. No individual government body has sufficient resources to fund all the services needed to address homelessness, and those experiencing homelessness do not make decisions based on jurisdictional boundaries. This means that even if we were able to address the needs and impacts of everyone experiencing homelessness in our city today, we would still see homelessness in our community as populations come and go based on their specific needs and experiences. The SVHAP is a strategy for the City to address homelessness within its borders. A draft of the plan has been shared with a wide range of stakeholders for feedback, including Chamber of Commerce, housing developers, service providers, Spokane Valley residents involved in the Continuum of Care, schools, and more. A follow-up community meeting is being scheduled in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce to give stakeholders additional opportunities to provide feedback on the plan. Tonight is an opportunity to share the current draft, as the plan will need to be adjusted in response to Council and stakeholder feedback before it can be presented for possible adoption. OPTIONS: Discussion RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Discussion STAFF CONTACT: Eric Robison, Housing and Homeless Coordinator ATTACHMENTS: Draft Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan and Presentation Page 2 of 2 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Introduction Homelessness is one of the most challenging social issues facing the City of Spokane Valley (the "City"). To significantly prevent and/or reduce homelessness, any community needs to be able to implement a systematic, long-term response that ensures homelessness does not occur in the first place whenever possible or, if it cannot be prevented, is a rare, brief and one-time experience. Homelessness is not unique to the City; however, Spokane Valley does have a distinct character that requires a plan that reflects the City's values and goals. Although there is not one single cause to becoming homeless,some of the more common reasons include a shortage of affordable housing, a lack of adequate or stable income, substance use disorders, mental health concerns, and domestic violence among others. The multiple causes demand a varied response including prevention, diversion, reduction, and enforcement activities. In addition, approaches vary depending upon the types of homelessness. For example, addressing chronic homelessness requires different approaches than situational homelessness. Veterans have unique needs, as do homeless youth or families. Regardless of the reason for becoming homeless, the community's goal is for homelessness to be a rare, brief, and one-time experience, and in the case of chronic homelessness, to move people into shelter and connected to services as quickly as possible. The City recognizes that homelessness is a regional problem,and that all of the region's stakeholders must work together to address it. Coordinating planning,funding, and accountability would improve efficiency, communication, and management. The current system relies on multiple funding sources answering to multiple advisory boards and governing bodies. This approach is confusing and not cost effective for providers that must submit funding applications and outcome reports to a variety of sources, each with its own particular requirements, and results in little or no coordination between service providers. It also creates unnecessary duplication of administrative efforts and can lead to information silos and entities working at cross purposes. In the absence of a truly regional approach, however,the City will continue to plan and direct efforts to address homelessness within our boundaries, while remaining open to approaches that seek to improve broader collaboration and coordination. This action plan is designed to address homelessness through programs and practices that have proven successful in other places but are tailored for those experiencing homelessness within the City. While the plan outlines a number of strategies, it is not an inclusive list of all programs or interventions that may be needed in the community. The City will support community partners as it is able in providing other important services, recognizing that it is not within the City's ability to fund or manage many of the programs that may be needed in our community. This Plan is intended to be a living document that requires ongoing review and regular updates based on changes in legislation, community priorities, program outcomes, enforcement, and new funding opportunities. Through work with service providers, community members, law enforcement, businesses, County officials, City Council, and City staff, the following principles were developed to guide creation of this action plan: • There are many people who are not currently homeless who may be susceptible to becoming homeless due to medical costs, loss of job, change in housing cost, being a victim of abuse, or 1 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) other significant life events.The City believes that assisting those who are at risk of homelessness is the most effective means of reducing further increases in the number of those experiencing homelessness in the City. Identifying opportunities to keep people housed is the primary focus of the plan. • A shared framework among all stakeholders with a clear plan of action will ensure that the City and service providers are all working cooperatively and collaboratively towards the same goals of preventing and reducing homelessness and improving quality of life for our community. • It is critical that approaches and action developed in this plan are fiscally responsible and sustainable. Further, all approaches and actions developed in this plan must lead to meaningful, measurable outcomes that can be tracked to assess effectiveness at either preventing homelessness, reducing current levels of homeless,or improving quality of life for our community. • The safety and well-being of the community is a priority, including residents, businesses and their customers, and people experiencing homelessness. • While the City recognizes that an approach that includes both law enforcement and supportive services is essential, the City firmly believes and recognizes that homelessness is not a crime. • Support for long-term solutions that help each person experiencing homelessness find permanent housing with supportive services is critical. • Each person experiencing homelessness is unique with diverse needs requiring a tailored case management approach founded on trust and respect. • Community awareness and involvement in the initiatives is critical to our success. • Addressing homelessness requires a regional approach and resources, and we will work with regional partners to leverage resources for the City. • Homelessness represents a complex social problem. The plan must be flexible, and we will regularly review outcomes to improve our plan and adapt to changing conditions. Within consideration of the guiding principles above,this action plan consists of three separate but related objectives: A. Preventing homelessness from occurring where possible B. Reducing current levels of homelessness C. Improving the quality of life of residents, including those experiencing homelessness. The order of these objectives reflect the City's priorities for action. Because sufficient resources to address each area are not available, the City understands that it needs to set priorities and direct resources to those areas first even as it works to make progress within each objective. The City strongly believes that keeping people in their homes and preventing homelessness from occurring in the first place is a top priority. Assisting those currently experiencing homelessness to transition back 2 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) to stable housing is the next priority. Making progress on these two objectives will also serve to improve the quality of life for all Spokane Valley residents, as reduced current and future homelessness will reduce impacts of homelessness that are felt by all members of the community. Each of these objectives are supported by a variety of strategies outlined in the plan below. The Plan This plan is a living document that will require regular updates to remain relevant. This is by design. As needs on the ground change, goals are accomplished, and more knowledge is gained from implementation of this plan, it will need to be updated to reflect the changing landscape of homelessness in the City. The intent is to update the plan every five years, in line with the regional Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness, which is updated on the same timeline. A. Prevent Homelessness Homelessness prevention and diversion is targeted to people who are at risk of becoming homeless and focuses on self-sufficiency and stabilization. Considered a national best practice, prevention is far less expensive than providing shelter beds with accompanying services.Additionally, preventing homelessness is a pro-active approach necessary for reducing future levels of homelessness. According to one homeless advocacy organization, children who experience homelessness are more likely to experience homelessness as an adult.'Additionally, children who experience homelessness are approximately three times more likely to drop out of school2,five times more likely to be victims of sexual violence, and seven times more likely to attempt suicide than their housed counterparts.' This means that any success in preventing homelessness now will pay dividends in the future both for those who are at risk of homelessness,and the community at large. There are several distinct components to implement that will aid in preventing those not currently homeless from becoming homeless. Increase Housing Availability and Affordability Increasing the availability of housing that Spokane Valley residents can afford is perhaps the most critical improvement the City can make to help reduce homelessness. The correlation between housing affordability to homelessness is well documented.4 Without housing that Spokane Valley residents can afford, the upward trend in homelessness will continue. Implementing the strategies recommended in the City's Housing Action Plan (HAP) as quickly as possible to increase housing stock in Spokane Valley is critical to addressing the current housing crisis,and by extension the current homelessness crisis.Shelters, ' Effects of Homelessness on Families- Invisible People 2 REPORT TO THE LEGISLATURE Update: Homeless Student Data 2019(www.k12.wa.us) 3 Risk and Resilience: Differences in risk factors and health outcomes between homeless and non-homeless students in 2017 YRBS Data Read and full paper: http://bit.ly/SHC-YRBS2018 Housing-Affordability-and-Stablility-Brief.pdf(usich.gov); New Research Quantifies the Link Between Housing Affordability and Homelessness- National Alliance to End Homelessness; Homelessness Rises Faster Where Rent Exceeds a Third of Income-Zillow Research; 3 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) outreach, diversion, and every other component outlined in this plan can only work to reduce homelessness if there are affordable units available for those in need of homes. The HAP identifies strategies that would help to increase the availability of affordable housing for Valley residents. The City is actively pursuing consideration and implementation of recommendations made in the HAP. This process includes input from developers, realtors, contractors, and affordable housing advocates to find consensus and create buy-in for implementation of needed changes to increase the stock of affordable housing in the City. One consideration of the recommendations in the HAP is that the majority include regulatory changes to support more affordable housing such as the "missing middle." The City may also wish to consider direct funding of affordable housing projects to more timely provide additional affordable housing units, especially if it assumes control of available funding sources. Additionally, the City could require that any new multi-family housing developments set aside a percentage of units for Project Based Vouchers (PBV). These housing vouchers administered by the Spokane Housing Authority are tied to a specific unit (as opposed to Section 8 vouchers that travel with the tenant to any unit they my reside in), and guarantee a rent payment up to the Fair Market Rate for the unit's size as determined by HUD. Creating a fund that incentivizes landlords and developers to set aside units that are affordable could be another strategy for increasing availability. This would be in addition to the PBV model discussed above. Measures that make it easier and less expensive for renters to get into units can also help to reduce the barriers those living on limited incomes face when trying to find or maintain stable housing. For example, a universal limited duration background check and application could greatly reduce the cost of applying for housing in a market when multiple applications are often needed before a unit can be secured. For those living on limited or fixed incomes, $30-$50 application fees can quickly become unaffordable, especially when low vacancy rates create intense competition for open units. Funding a program to help tenants pay move-in costs or to provide landlords with additional damage deposit resources could also help low-income renters connect with open units.The Housing and Essential Needs program managed by Goodwill for Spokane County has successfully used payments for double-deposits, move-in incentives, and move-in costs to house individuals that would otherwise have trouble being approved for a unit. Washington does have a Landlord Mitigation Fund that serves to help offset risks of damages to landlords'.Advertising this existing program and helping landlords comply with its requirements could be a low-cost way to help reduce barriers for some low-income renters. Fund Diversion and Rental Assistance Diversion programs seek to keep people in their homes or to help them get into housing quickly by providing one-time assistance that addresses an immediate barrier to housing. Diversion assistance is often administered through a Centralized Diversion Fund (CDF). CDF funds can be used for any one-time intervention that is directly related to a stable housing outcome, including first/last month rent and deposit, utility assistance, transportation assistance, and hotel/motel vouchers to those with no significant barriers to permanent housing. Funds can also be used to pay for transportation to another location if stable housing at the destination location can be verified. Landlord Mitigation Program (wa.gov) 4 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Data from Spokane's Centralized Diversion Fund show an average cost of$1,800 per intervention for the period from November 1, 2021 to September 30, 2022. Additionally, 87%of those who accessed the CDF were still housed six months after receiving assistance.According to statistics taken from the Department of Commerce Golden Report,this number is far lower than the average cost for either rapid re-housing or transitional shelter intervention, which were an average of $8,144 and $17,500 per person in 2021 respectively.6 Diversion is a cost-effective and efficient way to help beneficiaries get into or to stay stably housed and should be a part of any prevention strategy moving forward. The Centralized Diversion Fund program has consistently not been able to meet the need for assistance due to high demand and lack of sufficient funding. Rental assistance programs for individuals or families are another critical tool for preventing homelessness. These time-limited programs can help households weather financial storms that would otherwise result in the loss of housing and potentially result in an eviction,which makes obtaining housing in the future even more difficult. Rental assistance programs are generally more resource-intensive than diversion, but less costly than emergency housing. Rental assistance programs funded by local, state and federal dollars have spent tens of millions of dollars in Spokane county to prevent evictions. Despite the size of this investment, rental assistance programs have not been sufficient to address the need for these resources, leaving many Spokane Valley households that would otherwise be eligible, without this option. According to a survey conducted by The Zone in Spokane that has received over 1,100 responses,47%of respondents owe back rent, 75% say they are struggling to pay rent now or in the near future, and 56% have already received eviction notices.' Connect to Employment Support to Increased Incomes Employment support can be another important way to help people avoid homelessness. Employment support could include assistance with becoming job-ready and finding employment. This would include job training/readiness programs, and funds available to help pay for job-related costs such as needed clothing, tools, or training. Support for individuals who want to increase their income would also fall under this category. There are many residents who work full-time, but still struggle to pay the costs of rising rents and other basic needs. Assisting the Asset-Limited, Income-Constrained, Employed, or"A.L.I.C.E" households to up-skill and find better paying employment can both serve to reduce the potential for future homelessness, while also helping to address the shortage of employees in better paying sectors. Increase incomes would help to meet rising rental costs, and ideally would increase rates of home ownership. While some agencies such as Habitat for Humanity do offer paths to home ownership, the current median home price of$422,250 in 2022 means that only 7%of wage earners in the Spokane area are able to afford purchasing a home at this median price.' For some, increasing income is related to education and job training opportunities. Programs such as Foundational Community Supports (FCS) and the Basic Food and Employment Training (BFET) specialize 6 State Strategic Plan,Annual Report and Audits(wa.gov) 'The ZoNE (thezonespokane.org) $Statistics provided by Tom Hormel,Washington Association of Realtors. 5 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) in job training and placement for individuals with a variety of barriers, from lack of job experience, to living with disabilities. Agencies such as WorkSource Spokane, Spokane Workforce Council, Next Generation Zone, Career Path Services, and the Employment Security Department (ESD) can help those with jobs to up-skill and seek better-paid employment opportunities. The lack of needed labor force in our current job market has created conditions for those interested in apprenticeships or paid training opportunities to learn new skills and get hired by firms eager to bring on additional staff. For example, manufacturing companies like Wagstaff, Hydrafab, and Mercer Mass Timber will train from within or provide a pathway to apprenticeships to help employees develop needed skills. The City's Economic Development Department is actively working to recruit employers and match them to employees who fit the needed skill sets. Attracting quality employers and jobs to the City will mean more opportunities for residents that allow them to afford rent, and ideally home ownership in our community. Employment options that provide a living wage are critical to reversing the trend of households being priced out of the market, which is directly related to increasing homelessness across our region. For other individuals who are homeless or on the verge of homelessness, increasing income means applying for benefits such as Social Security Insurance/Social Security Disability Insurance or Veterans' benefits. Connecting eligible individuals to the SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) program or Ware Law Offices for assistance applying for and appealing rejections for Social Security benefits is one avenue to help connect some people to additional income. Referring Veterans to Goodwill's Supportive Services for Veterans Families (SSVF) program is important to ensure that any veterans we may work with are able to access full benefits they may be entitled to, including housing assistance. In any case, having staff dedicated to making these connections with clients, and referrals to the appropriate services is critical. Develop Senior&Assisted Living Housing(Including Permanent Supportive Housing) Many of the unhoused individuals the City encounters who are living with disabilities, may be unable to work due to age or other conditions, or may have significant developmental or psycho-social impairments that make finding and retaining a traditional apartment unlikely. During the 2022 Point In Time count, 31% of all adult respondents self-identified as living with a serious mental illness, as compared to 4% of Spokane County residents estimated to be living with a serious mental illness in 2020.9 These individuals are statistically overrepresented in the unhoused population and are often more vulnerable and at risk for negative outcomes. Getting these people into housing that can meet their needs is critical for long- term stability. Dedicated senior housing is needed to meet the needs of Spokane Valley's growing senior population. Demographically, the Valley's senior population is growing as is the need for affordable and safe options that meet the unique challenges faced by seniors.Assisted living facilities that provide services on-site are critical to help seniors age in place and avoid the need for more intensive and costly housing solutions, and to prevent them from becoming homeless. 9 Point in Time 2022- Draft(arcgis.com) 6 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Assisted living options for those under age 65 who live with mental or physical impairments are also needed. Currently, there are very few options for those who need these types of services. Permanent supportive housing (PSH) is one option that aims to provide more intensive services in housing. PSH is subsidized, leased housing with no limit on length of stay that prioritizes people who need comprehensive support services to retain tenancy, and utilizes admissions practices designed to use lower barriers to entry than would be typical for other subsidized or unsubsidized rental housing, especially related to rental history, criminal history, and personal behaviors. Permanent supportive housing is paired with on- site or off-site voluntary services designed to support a person living with a complex and disabling behavioral health or physical health condition who was experiencing homelessness or was at imminent risk of homelessness prior to moving into housing to retain their housing, and be a successful tenant in a housing arrangement, improve the resident's health status, and connect the resident of the housing with community-based health care, treatment, or employment services. PSH is one important option that can help provide stability in housing for many of the people in our homeless response system. However, it is not designed to provide many of the more technical or clinical services needed by those who live with significant disabilities, including possible mental health disorders. To serve this population, more intensive assisted living options are needed. Create/Support a Housing Crisis Hotline While the state-wide 211 resource line can direct residents to local resources, it is not a Diversion service and is not equipped to help tenants at risk of homelessness navigate the often-complicated landlord- tenant legal environment. Creating a housing crisis-specific hotline or bolstering the current 211 program with diversion-related resources and expertise could be a relatively cost-effective way of supporting those at risk of homelessness. The Tenants' Union, Northwest Justice project, Northwest Fair Housing Alliance, or one of the dispute resolution centers in Spokane that assists with eviction mediation could be potential partners to assist with this type of hotline. B. Reduce Homelessness: The second objective of this plan is to reduce current levels of homelessness. Because each individual and family experiencing homelessness is impacted by their own unique set of needs and challenges, multiple strategies must be employed simultaneously to achieve this objective. The transition from homelessness to being stably housed can be seen as a continuum, with certain interventions and resources needed in the initial stages of the process, while different resources and interventions needed at later stages. The following strategies outline interventions and resources that cover the length of the continuum, from initial engagement of unhoused individuals to stable long-term housing. 7 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Short-Term Interventions The first need in the continuum of homeless to stably housed is to make contact and connect with those experiencing homelessness. This is not a one-time event, rather it takes time to build trust and work through initial barriers or resistance before progress can be made. Below are several critical components needed for successful initial and follow-up contacts. Outreach and Case Management A unified street outreach approach is critical to ensure that those who are unsheltered are identified, directed to emergency shelter or other services, and receive ongoing engagement and case management. Outreach teams can be comprised of homeless service providers, law enforcement, staff from mental health facilities, substance treatment facilities and code enforcement. This unified effort creates a multi- disciplinary approach to assist individuals to move from the streets and into emergency shelter, directly into transitional housing, or permanent housing as determined appropriate. Homeless outreach has two significant components. The first component is maintaining strong communication among service provider partners.To support this communication,the City leads a monthly networking meeting called the "Valley Huddle." Outreach teams, service providers, and other relevant stakeholders actively participate and share information on specific issues, interventions, and clients in the Huddle. The second major component of homeless outreach is to ensure that providers holding contracts with the City are meeting the goal to assist the City in reducing homelessness. This means that the homeless outreach teams must be working to: 1. Move individuals into shelter; 2. Gather required documentation such as photo ID and Social Security card that are necessary for permanent housing, whether through rapid rehousing, permanent supportive housing, or other types of housing; and 3. Identify mental health and/or substance treatment needs and assist the individual in accessing these resources. The current 211 system or a future Housing Crisis Hotline could be another option for a first outreach contact with those experiencing homelessness. Through a hotline, callers can get direct information and referrals to needed services like emergency shelter or treatment options. Better advertising the current 211 resource and making sure it is widely available would be a relatively simple way to help direct some people to first-step resources that are currently available. Emergency Shelters While outreach teams are critical for finding people experiencing homelessness throughout the community, there needs to be a place for the people to go for them to move along the continuum from homeless to stably housed. While Spokane County does offer a variety of shelter options, none are in Spokane Valley. 8 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Since data collection for the City began in May of 2022, we have learned that 50.6% of the homeless individuals contacted by our outreach team were last housed in this community,which is why they prefer to stay in the City. For these individuals, the distance to resources and separation from their community is a major deterrent to using existing shelter options that are located outside of the City.There are others who actively avoid the City of Spokane downtown core where most shelter and other resources are located due to concerns for safety and drug use/availability.' Furthermore, as evidenced by the 2022 PIT, the number of unhoused in the Spokane region exceeds the number of available beds and so there are often challenges finding available bed space.' The City has adopted regulations governing placement and operation of emergency shelters in chapter 19.45 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code. Emergency shelters are allowed in the CMU, MU, RC, IMU, and I zones, and cannot serve more than 20 individuals at any given time. These services must also be at least one mile apart from any other emergency shelter or emergency housing, or Transitional Parking service. Chapter 19.45 SVMC was designed to mitigate many of the negative externalities that stem from the overcrowded low-barrier shelters. The aim is to create smaller, more manageable, and less chaotic shelters that also have less of an impact on the communities where the shelters are located. An intermediary step to year-round emergency shelter would be a temporary version set up in response to an emergent and time-limited threat to public safety. Typical scenarios for this temporary emergency shelter would include excessive heat or smoke in summer months, and cold temperatures in winter months. Setting up a temporary shelter for winter months, or extended summer heat/smoke would be less expensive than a year-round shelter option and could be a good starting point for the City's shelter system. Such a temporary shelter could also be employed for other less common reasons, such as sheltering residents after a fire or other natural disaster. Chapter 19.45 SVMC also allows the City Manager to authorize the operation of a temporary emergency shelter for up to 30 days in situations where an immediate life, health, or safety concern exists due to unanticipated or severe environmental conditions. The city manager may authorize an extension to the 30 days for a specified period of time, if the city council has adopted a resolution pursuant to Chapter 38.52 RCW declaring that the conditions which gave rise to the operation of the temporary emergency shelter continue in effect,and constitute a threat to the life, health,and safety of the residents of the City. Temporary emergency shelters authorized by SVMC 19.45.050 are not subject to the requirements of Chapter 199.45 SVMC. Hotelinq/Dav Drop-In Center Emergency hoteling is an option to provide vulnerable individuals with immediate shelter when health and safety are at risk.This option is particularly important during winter months when cold temperatures create deadly conditions for those who are unhoused. A hotel can also be a critical tool to get someone into a safe space immediately while providing time for follow-up case management to occur. It is one to During the 2022 PIT count,44%of unsheltered respondents indicated that"safety/fear of violence"was a primary reason for not accessing the regional shelter system. 11 Point in Time 2022-Draft(arcgis.com) 9 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) necessary option to include in a comprehensive response to homelessness, albeit an option that cannot be used in all situations, or for extended periods of time. Day drop-in shelters are the final component of a responsive and comprehensive shelter system providing a space for unhoused individuals to find rest, resources, and services in one location, while at the same time helping to reduce the impact they might otherwise have on area businesses or facilities. In all these cases it is key to recognize that a shelter, whether overnight, temporary, or day drop-in, is a place where outreach workers and case managers can connect with those in need of services and make progress towards housing goals. Transitional Parking/Camping The purpose of transitional parking or camping sites is to concentrate both the needs and services into fewer locations to make meeting the outreach goals of contact and follow-up more possible. Currently individuals who live in vehicles are continually on the move to avoid issues; or if they do not move regularly, they can become a nuisance causing safety and health concerns for nearby neighbors or businesses. Illegal encampments present similar issues where individuals find out-of-the way locations in areas like the Dishman Hills or on Department of Natural Resources (DNR) property near Mirabeau Meadows to set up camp.The accumulated trash and hazardous waste are a serious health and safety concern,and creates an environment where nearby residents feel unsafe. In other cases, a person may choose to stay on the move, sleeping in doorways or other protected locations for one night at a time, leaving in the morning when the business opens, for example. In these cases, locating the individual to offer and follow up with services is challenging. The creation of transitional parking and allowable camping sites serves to accomplish several goals. Camping sites would be an immediate solution when there is no shelter space available. Transitional parking is beneficial as it allows for a temporary place for individuals living in vehicles to safely park until housing can be secured.There are significant benefits in terms of mitigation when multiple individuals are staying in a single area rather than multiple areas throughout the City.Toilets and trash collection are the two most obvious benefits of having a single location where homeless individuals are allowed to stay.The other important goal of this approach is to keep unhoused individuals in one place so that outreach, case workers, and medical teams can locate and engage, and begin building relationships necessary to make progress towards stable housing. When unhoused individuals are constantly on the move from one location to another, it is nearly impossible for service providers to locate and build a relationship with them, or to make progress towards housing goals. There are a number of steps that can be taken to mitigate for potential problems related to transitional parking or camping sites. First, City code limits the total number of people who could use such a site to 20, as well as dictating where and under what conditions such a program could operate. Trash collection and restroom access are requirements, along with an operations plan that includes outreach to surrounding property owners, provision of human and social services, a security plan, and a code of conduct that addresses threatening or unsafe behavior, substance use,safety, and cleanliness.Additional precautions for transitional parking and camping programs could include background checks for 10 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) participants to ensure the safety of all clients and staff, and a registration system so that only those approved to participate in the program are allowed on-site. Such programs bring challenges and need to have effective management to ensure that they do not become safety and health concerns both for those receiving services and for the rest of the community. The choice is between completely unregulated camping and parking throughout the community as it exists now, and a regulated program with sanitation, security, and services provided on-site. Given these options, it is a better use of limited resources and a more effective strategy to provide a location where the impacts of parking and camping can be mitigated,and service providers are able to build relationships and help move people out of homelessness. Mental Health and Addiction Crisis Interventions The County's Crisis Stabilization and Withdrawal Management Center, located at 1302 W Gardener Avenue in the City of Spokane, is available for law enforcement or medical facilities to make direct referrals of individuals who may be in crisis and/or in need of withdrawal management. This voluntary option has been a critical resource when the City's outreach team encounters someone who needs assistance with mental health and/or substance use disorders. Having an on-demand facility that can be accessed at any time has proven to be critical in responding to needs at the time they are presented, rather than making a referral for services at some point in the future where there's no certainty of follow- through. At the Stabilization center, individuals are immediately connected with housing specialists and other case management assistance. Because this option is located near downtown Spokane, some Spokane Valley residents who could benefit from these services are reluctant to leave their community to access it. Additionally, because this service does not allow animals, some clients are reluctant to enter a program that would require them to give up their pet.Creating a partnership with a local animal shelter to temporarily house animals for those seeking treatment or transitional housing would remove this barrier allowing more individuals to take advantage of this option. While this has been an important resource for the City's homeless response, it is not always available because the beds are often full based on the growing need for these interventions. In general, there is a lack of needed in-patient withdrawal management, addiction recovery and mental health resources for those experiencing homelessness in Spokane Valley who need immediate and intensive interventions. This problem was made worse when one of the County's few withdrawal management providers, American Behavioral Health Systems, lost its certification to operate in 2022. Other providers, like Sequoia Detox Centers, only accept private insurance or out-of-pocket payments, making it unaffordable for people experiencing homelessness. Youth/Family Services Community stakeholders have expressed a need for a location to serve area youth, specifically older youth.The Central Valley School District (CVSD)operates a Student and Family Engagement Center(SFEC) 11 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) that provides a wide variety of services and resources to children and their families. This program is intended for families from the CVSD and operates on limited hours during summer break. A dedicated site that provides a safe and healthy environment for older youth is needed in support of prevention efforts, which are the primary focus of the SVHAP. In addition to providing healthy activities, such a center could also provide internet access, homework assistance, and case management to assist with housing, food/clothing, transportation, and legal needs. "In-reach" workers work inside schools to identify and support youth facing homelessness. Volunteers of America (VOA) is the current provider of in-reach services in Spokane County. While this work does include Spokane Valley, increased staffing is needed to meet the demand and need in our City's schools for these services. In 2022 there were 780 homeless students in Spokane Valley, of which 168 were unaccompanied by any family or guardian. A dedicated in-reach position for Spokane Valley youth is needed to best serve these children and their families. Dedicating space and resources (including an "in-reach position") are critical as part of up-stream interventions that will benefit Spokane Valley youth,as well as have a positive impact on long-term trends related to homelessness in our community. CVSD's SFEC is a valuable program for families experiencing homelessness and housing instability. The SFEC provides a technology center, clothing and food bank, community room for recreation and community gatherings, laundry services, and parenting classes. A similar site that serves families outside of the CVSD, or additional funding to the SFEC that would allow it to serve families throughout Spokane Valley, would aid hundreds of families that are on the margins. Services that are focused on stabilizing families with children and homeless youth are critical for an up- stream approach that seeks to reduce future homelessness by providing needed interventions early in a child's life. Children who live through homelessness are at much greater risk of having traumatic experiences that are associated with a variety of negative outcomes, including future homelessness as an adult. Not only is it far better for the health and wellbeing of children to address housing instability early on, but it is also better for the community that must deal with the long-term implications. Medium-Term Interventions Initial engagement and relationship building are the first pieces of the continuum from unhoused to stable housing. Stabilization and transitional housing are the next pieces. Once contact has been made, shelter has been provided, and a connection to relevant service providers has been made, the next goal is to transition the individual to medium-term housing solutions where they can stabilize and turn their attention to next steps that are needed to achieve long-term housing stability. Transitional Providers Transitional Housing(TH)is defined as a project that provides housing and supportive services to homeless persons or families, or other displaced individuals or families in need of protective shelter, for up to two years with the purpose of facilitating homeless or otherwise displaced persons and families into independent living. Detention and post-detention facilities, hospitals, psychiatric and/or substance abuse and secure community transition facilities are not transitional housing. 12 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) TH can take different forms and target different populations. For example, some TH providers serve families and others may target men with a history of incarceration or substance use disorders. TH is not emergency shelter but is also not a long-term housing solution. TH provides people with an opportunity to make progress towards goals related to long-term housing stability such as building a positive rental history, securing needed documentation, obtaining employment, accessing treatment interventions, and practicing living in a space close to other tenants. Many TH services require tenants to pay rent, but generally at costs below average market rates. While tenants are required to sign a rental agreement, these agreements are not a traditional lease and do not confer the same protections. For example, most THs are "clean and sober" locations so a tenant can be forced to leave for using alcohol, something that would not be possible with a traditional lease. TH generally includes access to additional supportive services to assist tenants in making progress towards long-term housing goals. Some innovative models pair housing with programming, job training, and supportive services. One local provider manages a non-profit network of clean/sober houses that includes health and wellness programming, alongside a for-profit contracting business.This model serves hard-to- house program participants by combining an accessible and healthy living option with job training and income. The need for this type of programming is evidenced by the rapid growth of the program, and extremely low vacancy rates for their housing. Bridge Housing The Salvation Army's Way-Out Bridge Housing Program (TWO) provides shelter and services to individuals who are stable and ready to move forward with housing and other long-term goals. Sobriety and self-care requirements make this a high-barrier option that is not available for those who may be struggling with substance use disorders or who are living with significant disabilities.This option provides a relatively calm and orderly environment for those who are ready to find employment or applying for housing.This service is not a good fit for many of the unsheltered homeless individuals living in the City, but it has proven to be useful and effective for those who are able and willing to comply with the program's requirements. Like the Stabilization center,TWO provides housing navigation and other case management to help clients successfully plan for next steps. Because TWO is located near downtown Spokane, some Spokane Valley residents who could benefit from this service are reluctant to leave their community to access it.Additionally, because this service does not allow animals, some clients are reluctant to enter a program that would require them to give up their pet. Creating a partnership with a local animal shelter to temporarily house animals for those seeking treatment or transitional housing would help increase the number of individuals who could take advantage of this option. Homeless System Housing Referrals Other medium-term options are accessed through the community-wide Coordinated Entry (CE) system. Housing and homeless programs that receive federal, state, county, or municipal funding from the City of Spokane, whether directly or as a pass-through, are required to participate in the regional Coordinated 13 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Entry system and submit/accept referrals through the Community Management Information System (CMIS). This includes the Salvation Army's Way-Out Bridge Housing program, rapid re-housing programs that provide move-in and rental assistance, transitional housing, and permanent supportive housing programs that help house individuals with disabilities and a history of chronic homelessness, in order to reside in units supported by on-site case management and other services. Ensuring that access to the CE system is available, and that Spokane Valley residents who need it are receiving referrals for appropriate housing interventions is critical to help unhoused individuals make progress on the continuum from homeless to stably housed. Housing referrals through CE can be placed by outreach teams,shelter providers, case managers for transitional parking/camping sites, at a day drop- in center, or by youth/family service providers. These housing referrals are one important tool for helping those who are unhoused to access stable housing and begin making progress on other stability-related goals. Most housing options accessed through CE (apart from permanent supportive housing) provide medium-term assistance. After a period of time, the tenant is expected to take over responsibility for the rent payment, or transition to other long-term housing. These interventions are designed to help provide an intermediary step towards long- term housing stability.

Below are several additional strategies that are often used specifically, although not exclusively, to assist those coming out of homelessness. Foundational Community Supports Foundational Community Supports (FCS) is a program offering benefits for supportive housing and supported employment for Apple Health-eligible beneficiaries with complex needs. Amerigroup Washington, Inc. works with housing and employment providers to help clients find and maintain jobs; acquire stable, independent housing; and gain the necessary skills to be successful. Most of the houseless individuals encountered by the City's Outreach team are eligible for this program, although there is a process for requesting and receiving approval that can take up to several weeks before assistance can begin. Once approved for services, FCS Housing Specialists can work directly with clients to make progress on any needed goal related to long-term housing stability,including housing assessments, identifying housing resources, support obtaining a lease, independent living skills development, landlord relations, and crisis management. FCS Employment Specialists can assist eligible clients by providing vocational/job-related discovery or assessment, planning for employment, job placement, development and coaching, and building skills for negotiating with prospective employers. Supportive housing and supported employment services under FCS are managed by a single statewide third-party administrator (TPA) contracted by the Healthcare Authority — Amerigroup Washington, Inc. Providers of FCS services contract with the TPA and are reimbursed on a fee-for-service basis.This means that FCS services could be added as an additional resource to programs operating in the City,or as a stand- alone service. In either case, working to make sure this resource is available for Spokane Valley residents will provide an additional support for those seeking housing and employment assistance. Housing Vouchers Housing vouchers, currently provided through the Spokane Housing Authority, are another tool that can help promote housing stability. These vouchers provide ongoing rental assistance for qualifying individuals. Some of these vouchers come in the form of units that are set aside for this specific use (Project Based Vouchers), while others provide rental assistance to tenants who can find their own unit within the market-rate rental environment (Section 8 vouchers). The primary constraints for use of these vouchers are two-fold. First, there is a long waiting list for those who are eligible to receive a voucher. And second,just because someone has received a voucher does not mean they can necessarily find a unit that will accept the voucher. With increasing rental rates region-wide, vouchers often are not able to cover the cost of rent. Additionally, some landlords are unwilling to rent units to those who hold a voucher. It is illegal to discriminate in housing against those who use a housing voucher, but it does still 15 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) occur. These constraints aside, housing vouchers can be one important tool in helping eligible households find housing stability. Making sure that these programs have a footprint in Spokane Valley to help connect our residents with this resource is critical. Additionally, encouraging housing developments to set aside a given number of units for voucher holders is also critical to ensure there are available units to participate in the program. Hotel/Motel Conversion One strategy to create additional affordable units for those transitioning out of homelessness and/or in permanent supportive housing is to purchase and convert existing hotels/motels into units suitable for long-term tenancy. The Department of Commerce has made funding available for this specific purpose through a rapid capital housing acquisition program. The benefit of converting existing hotels/motels into permanent housing is that it takes far less time than constructing a new structure, and rehabilitation of an existing property is also generally much less expensive than new construction.Additionally, hotels/motels are generally already located close to public transportation and other services. Converting hotels/motels can be doubly beneficial as it provides needed units for those transitioning out of homelessness while also improving blighted or nuisance properties. The challenge of hotel/motel conversion comes from the ongoing operations and maintenance costs associated with this type of housing. This type of transitional housing needs to be paired with robust services to ensure those transitioning out of homelessness have the support they need to be successful, and to help hold people accountable. The ongoing costs of service provision and maintenance would need to be factored into any plan for hotel/motel conversion. C. Improve Quality of Life: Improving quality of life for both housed and unhoused Spokane Valley residents is the third objective in this plan. Homelessness creates significant negative impacts for both those who are unhoused as well as the surrounding community where they may be located. Substance abuse, mental and physical health issues, and personal safety are critical issues facing those who are unhoused, while the surrounding community may see increased garbage and litter from encampments, increased crime, and loss of use of community facilities that are being used for encampments. The third objective focuses on improving the quality of life and reducing the negative impacts for those experiencing homelessness as well as the surrounding community. Day Drop-In Center Currently, the City does not have day-time shelter space located within the City or that is specifically dedicated for use by homeless within Spokane Valley. As a result,the City's homeless population generally congregates along business corridors, parks, riverbanks, and other areas of both public and private open space. Further, given recent legal developments, the lack of available dedicated space can present difficulties for enforcement of the City's regulations governing use of public spaces. Providing a safe space 16 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) for individuals experiencing homelessness to go during the day will benefit both the larger community and businesses as loitering and other related issues such as littering, crime, and used drug paraphernalia will be reduced to fewer locations.Those accessing the drop-in center can more easily be connected with services and case management needed to move them towards housing. Day drop-in centers provide the needed support that people experiencing homelessness require to access a variety of resources including: 1. Health care coverage, food assistance, etc.; 2. Permanent housing referrals; 3. Emergency shelter referrals; 4. General case management services; 5. Employment services; and 6. Disability assistance In addition to connecting individuals to resources critical for exiting homelessness, day drop-in centers also provide a critical space for those who are unsheltered during hours when many overnight shelters require patrons to remain off-site. Most overnight shelters require patrons to leave during daytime hours and check in each evening to secure a bed for the night. Some shelters even require that patrons leave the immediate surrounding area during daytime hours.This presents a serious problem for shelter patrons who have nowhere they can go during the day, especially for those with health and mobility issues and during winter months or inclement weather events. Day drop-in centers are also a benefit for communities near shelter locations, which often struggle with the daily influx on sidewalks, parking lots, and parks, of shelter patrons who are required to vacate their primary residence each day. The City has adopted regulations governing placement and operation of day drop-in centers and similar emergency shelters in chapter 19.45 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code. Generally, such uses are allowed in the FMR, CMU, MU, RC, IMU, and I zones, and cannot serve more than 20 individuals at any given time. These services must also be at least one mile apart from any other emergency shelter or emergency housing service. Encampment and Trash Clean-Up The City is committed to cleaning up homeless encampments and trash on City-owned properties. Additionally, the City is active in various clean-up efforts within the City on both public and private property. The City actively works with the Department of Transportation, Department of Natural Resources, local water districts,Spokane County Parks,and Union Pacific/BNSF Railroads to enforce clean- up of camps and trash on their properties in and around the City. However, when cooperation is not effective, code enforcement has played an important role in compelling partnering agencies and private landowners to address trash and camping on their properties. City staff have regularly assisted in these clean-up efforts to support our partners as they struggle to address encampments and trash in these areas. The City provides several avenues for residents to contact City staff regarding encampments and trash. The City's provides a web portal to allow citizens to report homeless or trash issues to the City. The complaint form is currently located at https://www.spokanevalley.org/311 . The City provides contact 17 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) information through the resource guide distributed to partners and residents, as well as through City and partner websites and through walk-in inquiries. City staff regularly fields calls and website submissions from concerned residents related to encampments and trash, and will continue to provide timely and effective responses to community concerns related to this issue. The City has also created a phone app used by the City housing and homeless team, code enforcement and law enforcement to document encampments and trash. This tool allows users to log a location and status of a specific site,such as an occupied camp,abandoned camp,or trash.The app tracks which camps have received 48-hours notice to vacate, which sites are ready for cleanup, and which sites have been cleaned up. This is a valuable tool for documenting issues that need to be addressed, and also improving our understanding of where common encampment'hot spots' are within the City. Business Community Outreach and Information In response to conversations with local businesses and the Valley Chamber, the City is working with law enforcement to develop a guide for businesses of best practices and tools to address the impacts of homelessness on their business. This resource includes two areas of focus. The first is information about preventative measures a business can take to mitigate potential impacts.The second has to do with tools that business owners can use when they encounter problems on their property related to homelessness, such as using the City's reporting tools to get follow-up from the homeless outreach team when needed. This guide will be distributed to all businesses working with the Valley Chamber, helping to expand the reach of the City's outreach efforts with local businesses to address the concerns they face related to homelessness. In partnership with the Valley Chamber, the City will continue to organize informational events with community stakeholders to express concerns, receive information, and build alliances.An intentional and ongoing effort to engage stakeholders throughout the community, including businesses, is a critical piece of the effort to mitigate quality of life concerns related to homelessness. D. Government and Legislative Advocacy: One final objective of this plan is to advocate for robust and ongoing legislative advocacy at local, state, and federal levels. Many times actions taken at the Federal or State level, whether legislative or in the courts, have a significant impact on how local governments can plan and implement important actions. In 2018, a federal court ruling, Martin v. City of Boise12, set significant restrictions on enforcement of public loitering and camping laws, generally identifying consideration of shelter availability when enforcing certain criminal provisions related to homelessness. At the State level, homelessness prevention and reduction has increased in importance, and more programs have been created and funding made available. However, in many cases the resources and funding come with requirements that not all agencies will want to agree to, such as weakening zoning laws and mandating certain types of housing. 12 920 F.3d 584(9th Cir. 2019). 18 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) The City should consider advocating where appropriate changes in state and federal law and for funding programs where such changes or funding support elements of this plan. The City should also consider regional cooperation and collaborative efforts to address homelessness as they may fit within the elements of this plan. Conclusion As stated in the introduction to this plan,the City's top priority is preventing homelessness from occurring in the first place. It is the City's position that preventing homelessness is the most effective way to address this growing challenge. Focusing up-stream to address some of the root causes will help stem the inflow of those experiencing homelessness. Further, we believe that preventing homelessness from occurring in the first place reduces the amount of human suffering,trauma,and negative outcomes often experienced by those who live through homelessness. However, we understand that homelessness does exist today, and that it results in significant personal and community costs for all those affected. Therefore, we must also work to reduce existing rates of homelessness. To do this, the City needs to ensure sufficient access to short, medium, and long-term interventions that can help move people through the continuum of unhoused to stably housed. Bolstering available resources in any one of these areas would be a success, but without sufficient supports and options along the entire spectrum, bottlenecks will occur and reduce our ability to achieve our goal of reducing homelessness. A regional approach to addressing homelessness is necessary to make progress in this area. Homelessness is not the problem of a single jurisdiction and does not start or stop at the border between cities. The current system of competing governing bodies and priorities has led to a disjointed approach that can result in confusion, inefficiency, and criticisms. The entire region would benefit from a coordinated approach. The City will continue to work collaboratively with area stakeholders to improve communication and collaboration around efforts to reduce homelessness. Additionally, the City will continue to plan and implement our own plan for addressing homelessness within our own borders. 19 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Supporting Data — Current Status as of 2022 Before understanding the scope of need or being able to identify actions within the three primary objectives, the existing status of those experiencing homelessness, the number, type, and location of services available within the City and surrounding region, and available funding must be understood. A. Measuring Homelessness and Housing Instability: Getting an accurate count of how many individuals are experiencing homelessness and housing instability in our community at any given time is a challenge. The itinerant nature of homelessness and instability combined with lack of resources means those experiencing homelessness or instability are often constantly on the move.Those living in vehicles often find out-of-the way places to park to avoid conflicts, making it difficult to get an accurate count. individuals or families who are doubled-up, couch surfing, or living in hotels are often overlooked and go uncounted.Those experiencing housing instability are at much higher risk of becoming homeless, or may lapse back and forth from unstably housed to homelessness as circumstances and weather change. Because the City's homeless program is still new, we have not yet been able to collect sufficient data within our City limits to fully understand homelessness in our City. The apps that were developed are currently being used by the outreach team, and should be available to additional City partners in months to come, is an important step in the right direction. The data we have collected so far has proven useful in helping us understand homelessness in the City, and tracking our interactions and work with those we encounter.As we continue to make strides and collect more data about homelessness in the City, we will use the information to inform future planning and execution. Despite these challenges, the City has collected data from several sources that help to inform our understanding of the scope of homelessness in our community.The following identifies information about the number of homeless within the City and greater Spokane region. Annual Point In Time (PIT) Count The annual PIT count is a County-wide effort that takes place each winter. Those who are sheltered (staying in a shelter) and unsheltered are counted. The 2022 PIT count found 1,757 homeless individuals in the County, of which 823 were unhoused. This unhoused population represents a 52% increase from the last time the PIT was conducted in 2020.Of the 823 unhoused individuals,80 were counted in Spokane Valley. Further, 13%of respondents indicated that the City of Spokane Valley was the last place they were housed before experiencing homelessness. State data on homelessness and housing instability Since 2014 the WA State Department of Commerce has produced the Snapshot of Homelessness report, which is designed to supplement the annual PIT count. The Snapshot report includes those who may not fit HUD's strict definition of homelessness, such as families doubled-up or youth who are couch surfing. These unstably housed groups are omitted from the annual PIT count. The Snapshot draws from data of 20 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) those receiving public assistance, Medicaid-funded medical care, or housing services. According to the Snapshot report, in January of 2022 Spokane County had 16,946 households that were either homeless or unstably housed. This number bolsters the argument that the PIT is a significant undercount of those experiencing homelessness in our community.l3 County-wide housing instability survey and rental assistance report The County's rental assistance programs also provide data to learn more about those experiencing housing instability in Spokane Valley. According to reporting from Spokane County, there were 2,448 households in Spokane Valley that received rental assistance through one of six recent assistance programs. The Zone in Northeast Spokane was recently commissioned to conduct a survey looking at housing instability in the county and received 1,476 responses. Of respondents who indicated they lived in a Spokane Valley zip code, 38% indicated they were worried about an eviction,40%said they had taken out a loan to pay rent, and 62% had skipped paying two or more bills to pay rent. School district statistics Spokane Valley school districts each have staff dedicated to counting and working with students who meet the McKinney-Vento Act definition of homelessness. The HUD definition of homelessness only counts those who are literally homeless, in a shelter, or fleeing domestic violence; the McKinney-Vento Act counts those as homeless who are without a stable night-time residence.This would include students who are couch surfing with friends, living in hotels, or moving from location to location, either on their own or with family members. Using this metric, we know that in 2021-22 the City of Spokane Valley had 780 homeless students, at least 168 of whom were `unaccompanied minors', meaning they were without any family support. City data collection tools While the PIT Count and CMIS provide regional data about the number of homeless within the County, the City has developed several in-house tools to collect and track data related to homelessness to improve our understanding of the scope of homelessness within the City. One tool is used to perform short surveys to collect required data for funders, such as race, gender and income. Additional questions seek to learn when a person became homeless, where they were last housed, and if they identify any mental health or substance use issues. The tool also identifies a geographic location of where the data was collected. This tool helps the City gain a better understanding of how many people are experiencing homelessness in Spokane Valley,who they are, how often we interact with them,and where they are located.This location- based information can quickly summarize the extent of homelessness in our community providing data to redirect services,funding, and resources as necessary. 13 GAO Report to Congress Finds Increase in Homelessness, Likely Undercount by HUD I National Low Income Housing Coalition (nlihc.org) 21 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Another tool is used to document camp locations (both occupied and abandoned), trash, vehicles (occupied or abandoned), or other quality of life concerns. This tool is available to City staff and relevant partners, such as the Spokane Valley Police Department and work crews to facilitate coordination of abatement where necessary. Community Management Information System (CMIS) The CMIS system is the central database used to track and refer clients in the regional homeless system. Most service providers and funders, including the City, are part of the CMIS system. While some notable providers such as the Union Gospel Mission do not add data to CM IS, it is the primary source of data to understand how many people in the homeless community are accessing shelter, receiving housing referrals and housing placements, and to inventory for related services. Outreach team feedback Finally, the City's Homeless Outreach Specialist and Outreach Officer provide critical insight into trends and activities related to homelessness within the City. These 'boots on the ground' are the primary way we contact unhoused individuals and connect them to services, and are critical for understanding the changes in patterns and trends related to homelessness in our community. They are also primarily responsible for gathering data through the City's collection tools. B. Types and Causes of Homelessness: A University of Pennsylvania paper breaks homelessness down into three useful classifications that are often used when thinking about how to address the problem14: chronic,transitional, and episodic. These classifications, each defined by the duration of homelessness experienced and the range of supportive services needed, can be useful in identifying gaps in services and for prioritizing resources. Chronic homelessness is defined by HUD as a person who has experienced homelessness continuously for at least 12 months, or on at least four separate occasions in the last three years, where the combined occasions total a length of time of at least 12 months. Chronic homelessness has a greater environmental and economic impact on cities than short term homelessness, and engenders more complaints and community concerns. When people think about homelessness,this is often what comes to mind. Transitional homelessness is defined as a person experiencing homelessness for a short period of time, often as the result of a major life change or catastrophic event such as losing a job, a medical condition or domestic abuse. Those who are experiencing transitional homelessness may be employed but unable to pay rent, may be living in a vehicle, or might be staying briefly in a shelter or temporary housing system. 14 Kuhn, R., &Culhane, D. P. (1998).Applying Cluster Analysis to Test a Typology of Homelessness by Pattern of Shelter Utilization: Results from the Analysis of Administrative Data. Retrieved from https://repository.upenn.edu/spp_papers/96 22 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Episodic homelessness is defined as a person who has experienced homelessness for up to 60 days, has had two or more moves in the last 60 days, or who is likely to continue to be unstably housed because of disability or barriers to employment. Those experiencing episodic homelessness lap in and out of homelessness over a period of months or years. Those working to address homelessness often refer to a fourth category as well, which is hidden homelessness. People experiencing hidden homelessness are in temporary living situations without clear plans to obtain stable, long-term housing. This would include people who are couch surfing, living in hotels, or doubled-up with family and friends. People in this situation are often missed, as they may not access homelessness resources and are not counted during the PIT. Realistically, we have no idea how many people in our community may fit into this category. Lack of Affordable Housing Lack of affordable housing is also a significant contributor to homelessness. The Spokane region has been experiencing a housing crisis for years, with the supply of affordable housing falling far short of the documented need in our community. As a result, the cost for rental housing has increased significantly squeezing out many individuals and families who were already living on the margins. In 2021, rents increased by 23.8% in the region, with the median price for a one-bedroom unit increasing to $965, and $1,327 for a two-bedroom unites According to the City of Spokane Valley's (COSV) Housing Action Plan, in 2021, approximately 48% of Spokane Valley renters were cost burdened (paying more than 30% of income on housing), and 25% of renters were severely cost burdened (paying more than 50% of income on housing). A paper by the Federal Reserve indicates that families with children are most likely to be rent-burdened, followed by seniors. It further states"when households devote a large share of income to rent,an unexpected shortfall in income may leave them unable to pay rent and could lead to eviction. Moreover, households that have little income left after paying rent may not be able to afford other necessities,such as food,clothes, health care, and transportation.The large share of income required for housing also limits the ability to save and accumulate wealth."16 The Government Accountability Office (GAO) published a report in August of 2020 with a statistical analysis that found median rent increases of $100 a month were associated with a 9% increase in homelessness in the areas they examined.' In their book, Homelessness Is a Housing Problem, the University of Washington professor Gregg Colburn and the data scientist Clayton Page Aldern demonstrate that"the homelessness crisis in coastal cities cannot be explained by disproportionate levels of drug use, mental illness, or poverty." Rather, the most relevant factors in the homelessness crisis are rent prices and vacancy rates.' While the experience of coastal cities may not specifically address the 15 https://www.apartmentlist.com/wa/spokane#rent-report 16"Assessing the Severity of Rent Burden on Low-Income Families:: Larrimore,Jeff and Schuetz,Jenny, Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. 'GAO-20-433, HOMELESSNESS: Better HUD Oversight of Data Collection Could Improve Estimates of Homeless Population 18 The Obvious Answer to Homelessness-The Atlantic 23 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) situation in Spokane County, the finding that poverty, drug use, and mental illness are not the cause of growing homelessness in the region's most populous cities does provide some added context and understanding of what we are experiencing in this City, as we have also seen rapidly increasing rent prices and historically low vacancy rates. The University of Washington's Washington Center for Real Estate Research has developed a Housing Affordability Indices (HAI) that looks at the extent to which housing is over or under priced when compared to incomes.19 A Value of 100 on the HAI Index means that a household with a median income has exactly enough income to qualify for a mortgage on a median priced home.An index value above 100 indicates that a household earning the median income has more than enough to qualify for a mortgage on a median priced home. For example, a composite HAI of 115 means that a household earning the median family income, has 115% of the income required to qualify for a conventional mortgage. Alternatively, a value of 85.0 would indicate that the household only has 85% of the income required to qualify for a mortgage on a median priced home. Graph A, taken from the 2022 PIT count data, shows the relationship between housing affordability and homelessness.As housing affordability(represented by the HAI line)decreases(becomes less affordable), homelessness (represented by the PIT line) experienced a corresponding increase. While many of the people experiencing homelessness in our region today may not have been in the market to purchase a home,we know that when households who would have previously been in a position to purchase are forced instead to rent, it puts added pressure on the rental market and drives rent costs up and vacancies down for everyone.20 Many individuals experiencing homelessness receive Social Security/Disability or some other sort of monthly benefit, such as VA benefits, or are even employed. In fact, according to the City's own data collected between May and October of 2022, over 36% of the individuals experiencing homelessness in Spokane Valley, had some sort of income. While in the past a fixed income or the earnings for someone working a low-wage job may have been sufficient to pay for a modest one or two-bedroom apartment, the increase in housing market rates has priced many of these people out of the market and into homelessness. 19 Housing Affordability Indices I (uw.edu) 20 Soaring home prices are pushing buyers to the rental market -Vox; 61%of renters in the US can't afford to buy a home in their city(nypost.com); Concern Over Rent Ticking Time Bomb Sparks Creation Of New Schemes (realestate.com.au) 24 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Graph A: 2000.00 1800.00 ::::: 1600.00 v c 1400.00 1200.00 co � c -a 1000.00 U < 100.00 800.00 a0 600.00 0 50.00 400.00 200.00 0.00 0.00 O0 O� yO yti 'y`1 titi ti� yR yh y� ti� 'y'\ ti� y'b ti� LO 1>. 1>. ,yO ,, ,tiO y0 LO ,yO ,LO ,yO ,LO 'k ,yO ,LO ,yO ,LO ,yO ,LO ,tiO ,yO HAI* -PIT Mental Health/Substance Use/Disabilities Many of the Spokane Valley homeless population suffer from mental illness, a substance use disorder, and/or some form of disability. Self-reporting data from the 2022 PIT count found that 31% of adults reported serious mental illness,versus 4%of Spokane County residents in 2020. Twenty-three percent of adults reported a substance use disorder, compared to an average of 9%state-wide between 2014-2017. These realities are related to homelessness for many of the unhoused members of our community. This underscores the need to address homelessness from an approach led by those with experience in trauma, addiction, and mental illness, such as specially trained social workers, working in conjunction with law enforcement. It also underscores the need for an approach that can help individuals address a wide range of needs when transitioning out of homelessness. Family Conflict and Domestic Violence Family conflict has been identified as another significant contributor to homelessness, particularly among youth and young adults. Similarly, domestic violence is another major contributor to homelessness in our community. Homeless individuals are approximately ten times more likely to be survivors of domestic violence than the general population of Spokane County21. 21 Data from Spokane County's 2022 Point In Time Count 25 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) C. Spokane County Shelter Network: A necessary component of planning is to identify existing resources.The following table describes existing shelters within Spokane County. Of note for this plan, there are currently no existing overnight shelters located within Spokane Valley.

Available Services: Current City Positions/Contract Services City Staff The City of Spokane Valley has been building a housing and homelessness program even prior to development of this plan. The Housing and Homeless (H&H) Coordinator position was created in 2021 and represented an acknowledgement of and investment in addressing the issue of homelessness within the City. Similarly, in 2022, the City created a full-time Homeless Outreach Officer position within the Spokane Valley Police Department and the City applied for and received a Spokane County Homeless Housing Assistance Act grant for a full-time Outreach Specialist. The Outreach Specialist is an employee of Spokane Valley Partners but works as a team member with the Homeless Services Officer and H&H Coordinator as part of the City's outreach team. These positions form the core of the homeless response team for the City. Other City departments and staff also support the City's efforts to address homelessness. Code Enforcement regularly partners with the H&H Coordinator to address issues such as individuals sleeping in vehicles, encampments on private property, and clean-up of trash. The Street Division assists with locating and removing encampments under bridges or on other street infrastructure. The Economic 27 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Development Department assists with the creation and dissemination of materials such as resource guides and media releases related to homelessness and the City's efforts to address it. Contracted Services The City of Spokane Valley Police Department and Spokane Valley Fire Protection District No. 1 ("Spokane Valley Fire Department"), a separate municipal entity, each devote significant time and effort to dealing with issues related to homelessness in our community. From responding to Crime Check calls to providing critical medical interventions, community resources go to addressing the impacts of homelessness in our community every day. The dedicated Homeless Outreach Officer is specifically assigned to address concerns around homelessness, and the Crime Prevention Officer spends significant time working with businesses and residents to mitigate the impacts of homelessness on private property. The City has committed to cleaning up camps and trash on city-owned properties. The City spends thousands of dollars annually contracting with work crews to remove camps and trash related to homelessness. A work crew from the Geiger corrections facility has been the primary partner the City contracts with to perform this work. However, due to staffing issues and rules around when the Geiger crew is available, the City also contracts with local businesses to perform this work, Regional Services The City pays into the regional system that funds projects addressing homelessness county-wide.Through recording fees and other funding mechanisms, the City contributes a significant amount of funds each year that go to a variety of programs benefiting Spokane Valley residents. The following table details the programs funded and number of recipients served through Housing and Homeless Assistance Act (HHAA) funding, of which the City is the County's single largest contributing municipality. Table B: Jan 2020 - Dec Beneficiaries Total Verified Total Grand Total %of 2021 HHAA Originating County Beneficiaries Beneficiaries verified/reported Subrecipients from the City Beneficiaries Reported Reported County of Spokane Reported from (includes beneficiaries Valley Unknown Unknown served from Locations Locations) CoSV St. Margaret's 70 119 1,249 1,368 5.1% Shelter, ES &TH Services Family Promise - 52 70 1,356 1,426 3.6% Open Doors Shelter The Salvation Army 33 62 212 274 12.0% ES &TH Services 28 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Volunteers of 43 76 3 79 54.4% America Hope House Volunteers of 300 456 0 456 65.8% America Crosswalk SNAP County 265 330 189 519 51.1% Outreach YWCA Safe Shelter 59 107 0 107 55.1% for Survivors and Children House of Charity 157 361 1,335 1,696 9.3% Emergency Shelter Spokane 46 87 243 330 13.9% Workforce Council Prevention Family Promise- 0 0 0 36 NA— Bridges Program Subrecipient did not record/report location data Total Beneficiaries 1,025 1,668 4,587 6,291 16.3% Served by Area from Jan 2020- Dec 2021 Looking at the data in Table C, it is important to acknowledge that over 4,500 beneficiaries were from unknown locations, and that the Family Promise Bridges Program did not collect or report this data. It is safe to assume,then,that some percentage of the recipients from unknown locations were also from the City,which would make the total of City residents served even greater than the 1,025 individuals identified in these numbers. Of the location-based services listed above(which does not include Outreach),only the YWCA has a site located within the City.This means that City residents seeking these services are required to navigate transportation and take additional time out of school or work, sometimes with children, to receive assistance. Regional Collaboration The City recognizes that the City of Spokane, Spokane County, and non-profit providers are already providing services throughout the region. Accordingly,the City acknowledges the work already occurring and participates in a variety of the existing regional entities and efforts related to homelessness. Identification of existing regional and local efforts are critical so that the City's Plan does not overlap or create unnecessary duplication with existing services and solutions. The following list identifies certain key existing regional and local efforts related to homelessness: 29 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) • Spokane County: Spokane County administers a variety of housing funding programs, including Community Development Block Grant(CDBG)and Homeless Housing Assistance Act(HHAA)funds through the Spokane County Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee (HCDAC). While the City is eligible to become an entitlement jurisdiction and to receive CDBG funds directly, it has not done so to date and relies on an interlocal agreement with Spokane County to assist in distribution of CDBG funds towards City projects and purposes. Further, HHAA funds administered by Spokane County include funds collected from recording fees collected from Spokane Valley residents. In order to provide City input in the distribution of CDBG and HHAA funds, the City has four representatives on the HCDAC. While the City has representatives on the HCDAC, the City does not have direct control over the distribution of CDBG or HHAA funds. As the SVHAP is implemented,the City might consider assuming direct control over CDBG and HHAA funds in order to fund identified City programs or projects. The City also participates in distribution of Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG) funding. The City has also participated in regional discussions about use of state funding to address homelessness on State-owned right-of- way property. • Continuum of Care (CoC): The CoC is a regional planning board made up of service providers, elected officials, community members, educators, businesses and other stakeholders. Broadly, the purpose of the CoC is "to promote community-wide planning and strategic use of resources to address homelessness; improve coordination and integration with mainstream resources and other programs targeted to people experiencing homelessness; improve data collection and performance measurement; and allow each community to tailor its program to the particular strengths and challenges within that community."' The CoC is responsible for administering all HUD funds related to homelessness that come to the county. It is also responsible for developing the region's 5-Year Strategic Plan to Prevent and End Homelessness.This plan lays out a roadmap for a regional response to homelessness, and provides guidelines that any program funded through HUD or applicable County dollars must follow when providing homeless services. City funds that go to the County to support homeless services are bound by the requirements laid out in the Plan. The City of Spokane is currently the CoC's "Collaborative Applicant," meaning they receive a portion of funding to provide much of the staffing and technical support for the CoC's funding applications, monitoring, evaluation, and reporting requirements. The H&H Coordinator is co-chair of the CoC's Singles Sub-Committee. This sub-committee, along with Veterans, Families, and Youth sub-committees, is one of four permanent sub-committees tasked with informing and making recommendations to the CoC regarding the region's response to homelessness. The City is also represented in the CoC with a board member selected from the City Council. • Local groups/committees: The H&H Coordinator leads a monthly Valley Huddle meeting which brings together key stakeholders, including: Spokane Valley Police Department, Spokane Valley Fire Department, Spokane Valley Schools, Spokane Valley Partners, Spokane Valley Community Advocates, Catholic Charities, Volunteers of America, Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners, Frontier Behavioral Health, Washington State Parks, Department of Natural Resources, 22 Introductory Guide to the Continuum of Care(CoC) Program (spokanecity.org) 30 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) Washington Department of Transportation, Spokane Valley Parks, Spokane Regional Health District, United Way, Spokane Valley Library, Greater Good Northwest, Pioneer Human Services, interested Spokane Valley citizens, and others.The focus of these meetings is to discuss updates, challenges, and approaches to addressing homelessness in Spokane Valley. The City also participates in the Greater Valley Service Network, and regularly works with the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce ("Valley Chamber") to provide information and address business concerns. • Regional events and initiatives: The City has supported and participated in a number of regional events and initiatives related to homelessness. The City participated in planning and day-of implementation of the regional Homeless Connect event which connects people to services and supports the regional Point In Time Count effort. In 2022,the CoSV fully participated in the annual PIT count for the first time, recruiting volunteers and focusing on Valley-specific locations to ensure a more accurate count than in years past when Spokane Valley was largely overlooked. • Collaboration with affordable housing developers: The City has initiated conversations and developed relationships with affordable housing developers like Spokane Housing Authority, Habitat for Humanity, and Community Frameworks. The City recognizes that more affordable housing is needed in our community, and that it is critical to develop and move projects forward that can add needed units to the City's housing stock that are affordable for all income levels.

F. Existing Goals Related to Homelessness: The City has already adopted several planning documents that include goals related to addressing homelessness. Among these documents are the City's Comprehensive Plan and Business Plan. Beginning with the goals in these plans can serve as a starting point for setting objectives for 2023 and beyond.What follows are goals related to addressing homelessness outlined in these existing plans. In the Comprehensive Plan, the following goals are listed under the "Housing Goals" heading: • H-G4: Work collaboratively with local stakeholders to develop a Homeless Response System specific to the needs of the Valley • H-G5:Work closely with and support the Regional Homeless System and ensure continuity of care for community members that are unsheltered and unstably housed in the Valley and throughout our region In the Comprehensive Plan, the following goals are listed under the "Housing Policies" heading: • H-P8: Ensure the provision of homeless and housing services have commensurate on-site support to maintain the character of neighborhoods and minimize public service calls. • H-P11: Engage in active recruitment of service providers that desire to serve Valley residents through targeted programs focused on homeless service delivery. 34 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) • H-P12: Support the implementation of the Continuum of Care Five-Year Strategic Plan to End Homelessness. • H-P13: Continue as active members on regional committees that address homelessness and housing instability such as the Continuum of Care Board and the Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee. • H-P15: Encourage and support new projects and programs which seek to assist in maintaining housing stability or provide exits from homelessness to housing. • H-P16: Analyze and collect data through our local Community Management Information System and use this data to help drive homeless and housing policy In the Comprehensive Plan, the following goals are listed under the "Approach to the Housing Element" heading: Co-Location of Homeless and Homeless Prevention Services The City of Spokane Valley has a strong network of various non-profits, faith-based organizations and school districts that help serve those who are facing housing instability as well as households that are unsheltered. What has historically been missing are locations in the City where access to these services are easily obtainable. Specifically, a high degree of reliance has been on the City of Spokane to physically house these services,which in turn requires City of Spokane Valley residents to travel when resources are needed. The City supports co-location facilities in its jurisdiction within close proximity of public transportation. These facilities would house various providers that seek to serve those experiencing homelessness and housing instability. Additionally, such services should be well connected to existing systems of care within our region to encourage and support ease of referrals and reduction of duplication in services. Supporting Affordable Housing for all Households The provision of Affordable Housing is critical to meet the needs of those households that have special needs or are on fixed incomes. Any build out of Affordable Housing in the City should align with existing programs and systems that seek to serve those that are unsheltered or unstably housed. The City should strive to work with regional providers to streamline and coordinate the distribution of limited resources. In the Business Plan,the following goals are listed under the "Homelessness Oversight" heading: • Work in conjunction with the City Attorney's Office to revise and implement the City's Camping Ordinance. • Provide staff support to the Continuum of Care and the development of the 5-Year Plan to Prevent and End homelessness. • Provide Staff Support for the Spokane County Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee and the development of the 5-Year Consolidated Plan. • Collaborate with Spokane County and the City of Spokane to incorporate a transitional bridge shelter and young adult shelter into the regional homelessness system. 35 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) • Participate, review proposals, monitor, and evaluate performance of service providers receiving Homeless Housing Assistance Act funding from recording fees, Consolidated Homeless Grant funding, and Housing and Urban Development funding. • Create,implement and manage a Spokane Valley Homelessness Huddle Team consisting of Police, Fire, Parks, City Attorney, Contract Administration and Homeless Outreach Services with the purpose of exiting individuals from homelessness and maintaining public space for intended uses by all citizens. • Identify and engage with homeless individuals located in Spokane Valley,creating and maintaining a database of individuals and campsites allowing for effective and consistent outreach services. Progress has already been made on some of these goals, such as managing the Homeless Huddle group, and collecting data on individuals experiencing homelessness and locations where it is occurring. Other goals are on-going,and do not have distinct ending points,such as supporting and participating in regional efforts through the Continuum of Care. Work in these ongoing areas will continue. Finally, some goals, such as the addition of sufficient affordable housing in the City are long-term goals that will take years to make significant process. F. 2023 Work Plan Activities While the SVHAP outlines a variety of needs, priorities and long-term or ongoing goals related to addressing homelessness in Spokane Valley, a set of short-term objectives or work plans for 2023 is needed to help guide work and make progress towards the longer-term goals. In 2023, short- term objectives include: 1. Research and make decision on use of HHAA recording fee funds. 2. Investigate a property acquisition for possible services in Spokane Valley. 3. Connect with and recruit service providers to serve Spokane Valley residents. 4. Work with regional bodies to promote solutions and serve Spokane Valley's unhoused population. 5. In collaboration with partners, assist 10 individuals experiencing homelessness in Spokane Valley in obtaining permanent housing. 6. Continue developing and implementing a responsive, efficient process for removing trash, vehicles, encampments as necessary.Work with contracted crews, SCOPE volunteers, and outreach team to address issues on public lands, work with government agency partners to address issues on their properties, and code enforcement to address issues on private property. 7. Collaborate with and support regional housing providers in creating 50 new affordable housing units. 36 Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP) 8. Implement one to two recommendations from the Housing Action Plan. 9. Create inventory tracking for the number of permanent affordable units in Spokane Valley, number of new units (affordable and market rate), and number of existing units converted to permanent affordable units. 37 it tilltr‘ 4 c to - Spokane Valley, ,_ \16 Homeless Action Plan Update 11111,1111: littii-rLism.

BACKGROUND: As part of the City's ongoing discussions regarding its homelessness response, the City has had a variety of discussions with the City of Spokane and Spokane County about the possibility of a regional approach to addressing homelessness. Recently, a volunteer group consisting of Gavin Cooley, former City of Spokane Chief Financial Officer; Rick Romero, former City of Spokane Director of Strategic Planning; and Theresa Sanders, former City of Spokane City Administrator, have been coordinating discussions regarding the creation of a regional entity to address all aspects of homelessness with elected officials and staff of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County Board of County Commissioners, and the City of Spokane. The volunteer group has also been meeting with providers and members of the business community. As identified in an article on January 13, 2023, they are working towards establishing a work group consisting of elected officials and staff from each of the three major municipalities to conduct a 90-day "due diligence" period to study how such an agency might be organized and how it could be created. They intend to start public discussion at a "launch" on February 10, 2023, with members from all participating entities along with stakeholders in the region. The "due diligence" period is intended to commence on February 11, 2023 and run for 90 days. The review work would be done by a group consisting of members from the City of Spokane Valley, City of Spokane, and Spokane County (assuming each entity desires to participate). Staff's current understanding is that the group would likely consist of two elected officials, a senior administration staff member, and a subject-matter expert from each entity. Our understanding is that the regional entity would be looking at a unified comprehensive approach focusing on all aspects of homelessness and that the overall scope would be developed as part of the due diligence process. The work group would work through several aspects of what it would take to form a regional entity, including (1) what type of entity might be appropriate (such as a public develop authority or joint group formed by interlocal agreement), (2) development of draft authorization documents (such as ordinances) and related enabling requirements, (3) identification of regional performance goals with associated strategies, timelines, and outcomes, (4) framework for participation, centralized coordination, and communication between stakeholders, (5) identification of possible funding mechanisms and a system-wide funding plan aligning public, private, and other resources to meet the regional performance goals, (6) recommendations regarding a centralized homeless management information system (HMIS), and (7) development of a comprehensive system of analytics, data assessment, and reporting. Page 1 of 2 The findings would then be presented to the participating entities for further discussion and consideration after the 90-day period. Notably, the discussion of the creation of the regional entity coincides with the development of the Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP). A preliminary draft of the City's plan has been provided to numerous stakeholders for review and comment. The draft plan will be provided to City Council on February 7, 2023 . Participation in the 90-day "due diligence" process and any further discussions regarding creation of a regional entity will not preclude ongoing development of the City's plan. The development of the City's plan along with the outcomes and goals for addressing homelessness will aid the City in participation (if the Council desires) and consideration of creation of a regional entity. Further, our understanding is that even if a regional entity were formed, it would not preclude the City from providing certain services or addressing specific needs identified in the SVHAP. Given the extensive needs in the community for a variety of services, there may be value in participating in ongoing discussions regarding creation of a regional entity to see how it may align with the City Council's goals for addressing homelessness in Spokane Valley. On January 31, 2023, staff provided an update on the regional entity discussions. At that time, City Council agreed to defer consideration of the City's participation in the due diligence process and the launch until February 7 to allow staff to provide further updated information. Staff will provide updated information gathered between January 31 and February 7 as part of the discussion. Staff are requesting discussion, consideration, and consensus from the City Council on whether it desires to participate in the work group as part of the 90-day "due diligence" process. Staff are also requesting discussion, consideration, and consensus on whether City Council desires to participate in the "launch". Note, City Council is not required to participate in the "launch" in order to participate in the "due diligence" process. OPTIONS: There are two items for consideration: (1) Consensus on whether to participate in the work group as part of the 90-day "due diligence" process to consider the possibility of forming of a regional entity to address homelessness; (2) Consensus on whether to participate in the "launch"; or Take other action deemed appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: There are two items for consideration: (1) Consensus to participate in the work group as part of the 90-day "due diligence" process to consider the possibility of creation of a regional entity to address homelessness. (2) Consensus on whether to participate in the "launch" and if so, how Council desires to participate. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: NA STAFF CONTACT: Erik Lamb, Deputy City Manager.

Starting next month, a go-day period of community-wide"due diligence" will begin to study how such an agency might be organized and how it could operate. To succeed, a regional authority would need buy-in from local governments and nonprofits involved in homeless services now— a daunting challenge,but one that so far seems to be finding widespread support. "I think there's really broad, almost universal interest in exploring it, and that's the stage we're at," said Gavin Cooley, a former longtime chief financial officer at Spokane City Hall. Cooley and two other former City Hall officials, Rick Romero and Theresa Sanders, are volunteering to lead the effort, and have been organizing meetings and conversations among government officials, service providers, the business community and others. They are volunteering their time, and raising private funds to cover other costs —including bringing an official from Houston, which has had great success with a similar model. The trio, who helped devise and coordinate some of the most creative, large-scale projects during the administration of Mayor David Condon, are widely seen as pragmatic problem solvers with little political baggage. On an issue as fractious as homelessness, that will be crucial. "They have a history of doing things in the community and are trusted by just about everybody," said Breean Beggs, president of the Spokane City Council. "A lot of people think if anybody can do it, it's them." Brian Coddington, the spokesman for Mayor Nadine Woodward, echoed that sentiment. "The three of them have collective credibility in many, if not most, rooms in the county," Coddington said. Woodward has been calling for a more regionalized approach to homelessness since her election campaign, though the largest financial and on-the-streets burden of the problem has continued to rest chiefly with the city. More recently, she has been talking specifically about the formation of a regional authority, including in a comment in a video news release noting her goals for the new year. "Right at the top of my list is establishing a regional homeless authority to address the needs of the unhoused in our region as a true collaborative," she said. "Much of the groundwork has already been done and there is great interest as we embark on what will be a generational change." Coddington said that it is still early in the planning stages, and that officials are trying to capitalize on the experiences of other cities in terms of what's worked and what has not. https:llwww.spokesman.com/storiesl2023ljan1131shawn-vestal-the-push-far-a-regional-homeless-authf 2110 1125123,2:32 PM The push for a regional homeless authority gains steam I The Spokesman-Review "There are still many, many details to be worked out," he said. According to a one-page description of the plan,which is being circulated among public officials and which The Spokesman-Review obtained, there will be a public announcement in early February kicking off the process in greater detail. Starting Feb. 11, the go-day due diligence period will commence, with the goal of producing recommendations for creating ordinances and enabling actions for a regional entity; identifying what kind of board would oversee it and what the membership would be; initial funding and staffing questions; the roles of elected leaders; and protocols for community participation. If all goes as hoped, a regional authority of some form—perhaps a special-purpose district, such as those governing the library and parks systems —would be formed to develop a plan to integrate homelessness services and create timelines, goals and benchmarks; manage current funding from different sources and identify new sources of funding; create analytics, data and information systems; and develop a plan to centralize and coordinate communications, the document says. In short,the idea is to combine the money and resources that now go to different governments and nonprofits, each doing their own thing, into a coordinated, unified system. It's an idea that almost everybody seems to like; it's also one that will require a lot of very detailed work to satisfy the different parties' interests and objectives. Among the key challenges would be the deep philosophical differences among different parties, and the possibility of turf battles and questions of control. County commissioners have also been involved in the discussion, as have representatives of Spokane Valley and other regional cities. County Commission Chairwoman Mary Kuney traveled to Houston with Woodward last fall to look at their system, and has been involved in ongoing discussions. She was out of town Thursday and unavailable for comment. Commissioner Amber Waldref said the idea is broadly appealing, and that the process of involving as many people as possible will be important.All the interested parties have to be included and their interests considered to develop something that will work. But she said that in her efforts as project director of the Zone Project,the northeast Spokane initiative that has built a collaboration among 5o community partners to help children and families thrive, she worked with a similar framework of unifying many disparate players. "I really believe that the only way you're going to make long-term, measurable impact is to get everybody rowing in the same direction," she said. httpsalwww.spokesman.comistories120231jan1131shawn-vestal-the-push-for-a-regional-homeless-auth/ 3110 1/25/23,2:32 PM The push for a regional homeless authority gains steam I The Spokesman-Review That includes the business community, which has been very active on the issue in recent years. Chris Patterson, who is coordinating efforts for Hello for Good, a nonprofit coalition of Spokane business leaders, said Thursday that he's optimistic about the progress toward a regional plan. "I'm t00%behind it,"he said. It's important that the city of Spokane not continue to bear almost the entire brunt of the problem, when it also affects the entire wider region, he said. "Why not collaborate and why not work with each other?"he asked. He emphasized that it would be vital to stand up a regional authority before the political season reaches full heat —taking the politics out of it would be key to making it work. Rob McCann, the CEO of Catholic Charities Eastern Washington, said he's been hoping for a regionalized approach for a long time. "The idea of a regional authority structure of some kind to try and bring the community together to solve homelessness is something I've been wanting for 23 years,"he said, referring to the time that he's been working with homelessness in Spokane. "I think it's not just the best solution, I think it's the only solution,"he said. THE SPOKESMAN-REVIEW Local journalism is essential.
