October 31, 2023 – Council approved Resolution No. 23-012 setting a public hearing on
November 14, 2023, regarding assumption of powers of the Spokane Valley
Transportation Benefit District
BACKGROUND:
The City’s street network consists of roughly 450 centerline miles of roadway, including 127
centerline miles of arterials/collectors and 323 centerline miles of local access streets. This
equates to 1,025 total lane miles in the network covering roughly 9.2 million square yards (SY)
of paved surfaces, equivalent to 1,900 acres. Roughly two-thirds of the City streets’ pavement
area is attributed to local access streets. The remaining one-third of pavement area is located
on arterial or collector streets.
The City’s PMP serves two primary functions:
Preservation: Multi-year planning and implementation of pavement ‘treatments’ to
extend the life of existing paved streets and sustain the pavement condition over time.
M
aintenance: Annual costs for repairs and upkeep of snowplow operations, traffic
signals and signs, streetlights, sidewalks, potholes, crack filling, and roadside
maintenance.
In 2021, the City created the Street Sustainability Committee to help engage the public
regarding the PMP while providing detailed insights from a focused stakeholder group. The
committee recommended several measures to address a sustainable PMP. These
recommendations generally focused on local streets, working on different and more economical
project delivery methods, identifying alternative surface treatment methods, and identifying
additional funding sources.
Based on the Street Sustainability Committee’s recommendations, the City has taken steps to
focus on local streets, identify and implement more economical delivery methods, and to
engage in pilot projects for alternative surface treatment methods. Through a series of
discussions from 2022 and 2023, City Council identified a desire to fully or adequately fund the
PMP and focused on creation of a transportation benefit district as a means to provide
dedicated transportation funding. As a result of those discussions, on October 24, 2023, City
Council approved Ordinance No. 23-018, which adopted chapter 3.85 of the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code and formed the Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District.
The Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District is a separate legal entity, which requires
separate meetings, separate accounting, and separate administration than other City work. The
law allows the City to assume the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of the TBD. To do
so, the City Council must:
1. Adopt a resolution declaring its intention to consider assumption of the powers of the
TBD and to set a public hearing.
2. Conduct a public hearing on the assumption of powers of the TBD.
3. Adopt an ordinance assuming the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of the
TBD.
On October 31, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 23-012, declaring the City Council’s
intention to consider assuming the powers of the Spokane Valley TBD and setting a public
hearing for November 14, 2023. Proposed Ordinance No. 23-022 would assume the rights,
powers, functions, and obligations of the Spokane Valley TBD. Assuming the powers will
significantly simplify the administration of the TBD, including administering the funds collected
for transportation improvements for greater efficiency of government. At this time, the Spokane
Valley TBD has not collected any funds and has not committed any funds to any projects.
A first reading of Proposed Ordinance No. 23-022 for City Council to assume the powers will
immediately follow the public hearing. A copy of proposed Ordinance No. 23-022 to assume the
TBD powers is attached to this RCA.
OPTIONS: Discussion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to transportation funding. Assuming the
powers will significantly simplify the administration of the Spokane Valley TBD, which is
estimated to result in increased efficiency and a reduction in administrative costs.

BACKGROUND:
The City’s street network consists of roughly 450 centerline miles of roadway, including 127
centerline miles of arterials/collectors and 323 centerline miles of local access streets. This
equates to 1,025 total lane miles in the network covering roughly 9.2 million square yards (SY)
of paved surfaces, equivalent to 1,900 acres. Roughly two-thirds of the City streets’ pavement
area is attributed to local access streets. The remaining one-third of pavement area is located
on arterial or collector streets.
The City’s PMP serves two primary functions:
Preservation: Multi-year planning andimplementationof pavement ‘treatments’ to
extend the life of existing paved streets and sustain the pavement condition over time.
M
aintenance: Annual costs for repairs and upkeep of snowplow operations, traffic
signals and signs, streetlights, sidewalks, potholes, crack filling, and roadside
maintenance.
In 2021, the City created the Street Sustainability Committee to help engage the public
regarding the PMP while providing detailed insights from a focused stakeholder group. The
committee recommended several measures to address a sustainable PMP. These
recommendations generally focused on local streets, working on different and more economical
project delivery methods, identifying alternative surface treatment methods, and identifying
additional funding sources.
Based on the Street Sustainability Committee’s recommendations, the City has taken steps to
focus on local streets, identify and implement more economical delivery methods, and to
engage in pilot projects for alternative surface treatment methods. Through a series of
discussions from 2022 and 2023, City Council identified a desire to fully or adequately fund the
PMP and focused on creation of a transportation benefit district as a means to provide
dedicated transportation funding. As a result of those discussions, on October 24, 2023, City
Council approved Ordinance No. 23-018, which adopted chapter 3.85 of the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code and formed the Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District.
The Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District is a separate legal entity, which requires
separate meetings, separate accounting, and separate administration than other City work. The
law allows the City to assume the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of the TBD. To do
so, the City Council must:
1. Adopt a resolution declaring its intention to consider assumption of the powers of the
TBD and to set a public hearing.
2. Conduct a public hearing on the assumption of powers of the TBD.
3. Adopt an ordinance assuming the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of the
TBD.
On October 31, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 23-012, declaring the City Council’s
intention to consider assuming the powers of the Spokane Valley TBD and setting a public
hearing for November 14, 2023. On November 14, 2023, City Council will hold a public hearing
on proposed Ordinance No. 23-022 and assuming the Spokane Valley TBD. Proposed
Ordinance No. 23-022 would assume the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of the
Spokane Valley TBD. Assuming the powers will significantly simplify the administration of the
TBD, including administering the funds collected for transportation improvements for greater
efficiency of government. At this time, the Spokane Valley TBD has not collected any funds and
has not committed any funds to any projects.
Given the administrative nature of assuming the powers and given that no funds have been
collected or committed, Council may wish to consider suspending the rules and approving
Ordinance No. 23-022 at a first reading.
OPTIONS: Move to advance Ordinance No. 23-022 assuming the Spokane Valley
Transportation Benefit District, to a second reading; or take other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to advance Ordinance No. 23-022 assuming
the Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District, to a second reading.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to transportation funding. Assuming the
powers will significantly simplify the administration of the Spokane Valley TBD, which is
estimated to result in increased efficiency and a reduction in administrative costs.

BACKGROUND: As a follow-up to the Code Enforcement Program overview presentation during the
regular City Council meeting on June 1, 2021, staff initiated a broad discussion with Council during the
regular City Council meeting on June 29, 2021. The discussion included specific issues and nuisances
which are of concern to local residents, business owners, and property owners, as well as elected officials.
City Council has had multiple follow-up discussions on a number of the topics.
As a result of the discussions, staff drafted amended Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) language for
Council review, which was presented in June and July of 2022, focusing on regulatory language related to
junk and unlicensed vehicles, operable licensed vehicle parking/storage on private property, and camping
on private property. At the July 26, 2022, ordinance reading, Council agreed to postpone advancement of
the ordinance for further discussion. Council again discussed the ordinance during a staff administrative
report at the August 15, 2023, Council meeting. At that meeting, the consensus of Council was to (1) direct
staff to limit the scope of the ordinance to limiting private property owners to one screened junk or
unlicensed vehicle per parcel, and (2) consider the amendments regulating the parking of RVs, vessels,
and operable licensed vehicles, and camping on private property at a later date.
On October 24, 2023, staff presented Council with proposed amendments to Chapter 7.05 SVMC
addressing Council’s goals for junk and unlicensed vehicles. The proposed amendments provide new
definitions for Unlicensed Vehicles and Vessels and limit the number of junk and/or unlicensed vehicles
that can remain on a single residential parcel. Council voted to advance Ordinance 23-019 to a second
reading and be considered for adoption.
OPTIONS: (1) Approve Ordinance 23-019, or (2) take other action Council deems appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move to approve Ordinance 23-019, adopting amendments
related to junk and unlicensed vehicles in chapter 7.05 SVMC.

MATTERS RELATED THERETO.
WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 35A.11.020 and RCW 35.22.280(3), the City of Spokane Valley
(City) is authorized to “declare what shall be a nuisance, and to abate the same, and to impose fines upon
parties who may create, continue, or suffer nuisances to exist”; and
WHEREAS, the City previously adopted chapter 7.05 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code
(SVMC) in order to maintain a safe and healthy environment by regulating nuisance conditions that
contribute to injury, illness, devaluation of property, and the incidence of crime; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to chapter 7.48 RCW, the City is authorized to obtain an order for a
warrant of abatement of public nuisances that may exist within the City; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has identified certain conditions, including but not limited to
storage of unlicensed and junk vehicles on private property which contribute to injury, illness, devaluation
of property, and the incidence of crime, and it desires to regulate such conditions as nuisances; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to amend the applicable nuisance provisions in the SVMC to
provide necessary updates for the public health, safety, and welfare.

BACKGROUND:
WSDOT is currently administering the construction contract and providing the construction
management on the City’s Barker/BNSF Grade Separation Project. On June 30, 2020, Council
passed a motion to authorize execution of 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 and bridge improvements in April 2023, has been granted
substantial completion and is now working on remaining 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 57 change orders, including 24
Council approved change orders. Executed change orders have an accumulative total of
$2,076,184.63.
Change Order No. 69 - $72,134.00
This change order was for the removal and replacement of the temporary asphalt that was placed
in Fall of 2022 at both bridge approaches on Barker Road. The temporary asphalt was placed
outside the paving window in the effort to open the bridge in the Winter of 2022. However, delays
in receiving the fencing for the bridge eliminated the possibility of opening the roadway to traffic.
The temporary asphalt and channelization were then replaced in 2023 prior to opening Barker
Road to traffic. Paving was completed on a weekend.
Page 2 of 3
After Change Order 69 isexecuted, the new contract amount will be $13,785,452.63 which is
18.5% over the original contract.
Staff will continue to work closely with WSDOT on all remaining change orders to close out the
project. All change orders that increase the amount of the contract will come before Council for
approval as the $350,000 WSDOT authorization limit has been reached.
OPTIONS: 1) Authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute Change Order Number 69 with
Max J. Kuney Company in the amount of $72,134.00, or 2) Take other appropriate action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute Change Order Number 69 with Max J. Kuney Company in the amount of $72,134.00.
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.

BACKGROUND:
The City’s street network consists of roughly 450 centerline miles of roadway, including 127
centerline miles of arterials/collectors and 323 centerline miles of local access streets. This
equates to 1,025 total lane miles in the network covering roughly 9.2 million square yards (SY)
Page 1 of 4
of paved surfaces, equivalent to 1,900 acres. Roughly two-thirds of the City streets’ pavement
area is attributed to local access streets. The remaining one-third of pavement area is located
on arterial or collector streets.
The City’s PMP serves two primary functions:
Preservation: Multi-year planning and implementation of pavement ‘treatments’ to
extend the life of existing paved streets and sustain the pavement condition over time.
Maintenance: Annual costs for repairs and upkeep of snowplow operations, traffic
signals and signs, streetlights, sidewalks, potholes, crack filling, and roadside
maintenance.
Overall, to sustain the citywide average Pavement Condition Index (PCI), the City in 2019
estimated it should expend approximately $16 million annually: $10 million for preservation and
$6 million for maintenance. Those numbers have been utilized for discussion purposes, though
staff believe that 2023 current expenditures are larger due to declining pavement condition,
inflation, and increased project delivery costs. Since 2018, the City has reliably provided an
annual average recurring allocation of $8 million using the local street wear fee, local funds (e.g.
REET), and telephone utility tax and fuel tax revenues. Due to decreasing telephone utility tax
revenues, in 2019 the City began providing annual transfers of surplus general fund revenues to
Street Fund #101 for street maintenance. Those transfers have increased since 2019 and are
approximately $4.6 million in the 2024 proposed budget.
Note that these transfers consist of surplus fund balance reserves in the General Fund from
prior years. The surplus transfers have been available primarily due to favorable sales tax
collections and lower than budgeted staffing in the City’s law enforcement contract. In the event
the City does not have available surplus, it would not be able to make such a transfer which
would reduce the existing level of service for street maintenance activities. Also, these transfers
have been accounted for in the budget as nonrecurring items.
If Council decided to make the transfers permanent recurring transfers, the General Fund would
no longer have recurring revenues exceeding recurring expenditures based on the 2024
proposed budget. The transfers also result in a reduction of available general funds for other
priority purposes, including public safety, significant transportation projects, economic
development/tourism and parks projects, and homeless and affordable housing-related
services. The remaining necessary funding of the PMP continues to be unfunded and the
shortfall results in the City not completing or constructing needed local access street
preservation and reconstruction projects.
In 2019 and 2020, the City conducted a holistic, third-party review of its PMP. A primary
outcome from this effort revolved around conducting public outreach to identify the long term
goal of the PMP and how to financially support that goal. As a result, the Street Sustainability
Committee was formed in 2021 to help engage the public while providing detailed insights from
a focused stakeholder group. The committee recommended several measures to address a
sustainable PMP program. These recommendations generally focused on local streets, working
on different and more economical project delivery methods, identifying alternative surface
treatment methods, and identifying additional funding sources.
Based on the Street Sustainability Committee’s recommendations, the City has taken steps to
focus on local streets, identify and implement more economical delivery methods, and to
engage in pilot projects for alternative surface treatment methods. Through a series of
discussions from 2022 and 2023, City Council identified a desire to fully or adequately fund the
PMP and focused on creation of a transportation benefit district as a means to provide
additional dedicated transportation funding. As a result of those discussions, on October 24,
Page 2 of 4
2023, City Council approved Ordinance No. 23-018, which adopted chapter 3.85 of the Spokane
Valley Municipal Code and formed the Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District.
The Council has also taken action to start the process to assume the powers of the Spokane
Valley Transportation Benefit District. Through the formation process, City Council has not had
discussions regarding its desired funding mechanism preference. Tonight, staff are providing
information about available funding mechanisms.
Though there are many options available under RCW 36.73 for TBD funding, Council has
focused on two potential options: vehicle license tab fees and sales taxes. Each is described in
more detail below.
Vehicle License Tab Fees.
• Council may approve a license fee of up to $20 at any time without voter
approval
- Estimated net revenue for $20 fee: $2,785,385
• After $20 fee has been in effect for at least 24 months, Council may increase
the fee to $40.
- Estimated ret revenue for $40 fee: $5,570,770
• After the $40 fee has been in effect for at least 24 months, Council may
increase the fee to $50.
- Estimated net revenue for $50 fee: $6,963,462
• Vehicle license fees may exceed $50, but not more than $100, with simple
majority voter approval.
TBD Sales Tax
• Council may approve a sales tax up to 0.1% at any time without voter approval.
- Tax would be for up to 10 years; may be renewed for 10-year periods
without voter approval.
- Estimated revenue for 0.1% TBD sales tax (based on 2022 sales
taxes): $3,805,535
• Voted sales tax of up to 0.3% for up to 10 years with voter approval. Voted
sales taxes may be renewed for additional 10-year periods with voter approval.
NOTE – 48% of retail spending in Spokane Valley is attributable to Non-
Spokane Valley Residents (Community Attributes Memo regarding Retail Sales
Tax Analysis, copy attached).
Additional information about each is provided in the attached PowerPoint.
Staff are seeking direction on Council’s preferred funding option(s) for future consideration.
Once Council selects a desired funding option, staff will prepare necessary documents for
Council consideration. Note that while staff are seeking guidance, no formal action is being
requested of Council at tonight’s meeting. However, direction will allow more focused
discussions on the potential funding preference.
OPTIONS: Discussion; Council direction on preferred funding option; or take other action
deemed appropriate.
Page 3 of 4
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council direction on preferred funding option.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If approved by Council, a $20 tab fee would generate about
$2.8 million in additional City revenues, and a 0.1% sales tax would generate about $3.8 million
based on 2022 collections. Any revenues collected under the TBD would be restricted for use
on the City’s Pavement Management Program, and a new City Fund would need to be created
to account for activity related to the TBD.

SPOKANE VALLEY RETAIL SALES TAX
ANALYSIS MEMORANDUM
Date:

Mike Basinger, Economic Development Director, City of Spokane Valley
From:
Elliot Weiss and Connor Reed, Community Attributes, Inc.

Susan Nielsen, Economic Development Specialist, City of Spokane Valley
Re:
TBD Taxable Retail Sales Analysis
Sources of Retail Sales Tax Generation
Key Findings
The following are key findings from this study:
Based on a gap analysis, approximately 48% of retail spending occurring in Spokane Valley
exceeds the demand that would be expected based on Spokane Valley residents alone, and
therefore may be attributable to consumers who reside in other jurisdictions. Spokane Valley’s
convenient location along major highways facilitates these spending patterns.
Certain retail locations are more likely to draw spending from outside of Spokane Valley than
others. According to mobile data, for instance, the Spokane Valley Mall, a high gravity retail
center, pulls more than 9% of visitors from outside a 100-mile radius. Intuitively, other retail
types, such as gas stations at major interstate interchanges, are likely to draw a higher share of
non-resident spending.
Per the trade capture analysis, automobile and general merchandise sales make up the most
substantial proportion of taxable retail sales and trade capture in Spokane Valley relative to the
region overall.
Per the mobile traffic analysis, high gravity centers along the Interstate 90 corridor such as
Evergreen Crossing and the Spokane Valley Mall have an average distanced travelled that
extends beyond Spokane Valley proper, while other retail nodes have more localized demand.
Spokane Valley’s trade area primarily extends to the east and the south, and retailers in Spokane
Valley do not generally pull significant spending from consumers that reside in the City of
Spokane proper, which may be expected given that Spokane also has major retail centers and
competing retail offerings.
Spokane Valley Retail Sales Tax Analysis 1
Sources of Retail Sales Tax Generation
March 2023
Background and Purpose
Community Attributes, Inc. was tasked with identifying the generators of retail sales tax in Spokane
Valley. Principally, this study is concerned with the proportion of sale tax generated by consumers living
in the city, and those visiting the city. This analysis will inform the establishment of a Transportation
Benefit District (TBD) to support improvements to the city’s transportation network. There are multiple
methodologies that can be used to analyze retail traffic from within and beyond the city. Each method
has its own unique benefits and limitations. This memorandum presents a retail gap analysis, trade
capture analysis, and mobile traffic analysis for Spokane Valley. In this study, the retail gap analysis is
the superior method for precisely identifying what proportion of retail sales comes from within and
beyond Spokane Valley. While the trade capture and mobile traffic pieces do not provide this same
information, they do provide important context for understanding geographic and economic patterns of
retail consumption within Spokane Valley.
Retail Gap Analysis
Gap analysis calculates shortages and surpluses in retail supply and demand for a given set of sectors or
product lines in a geographic area. Retail consumer demand and market supply are derived from the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Consumer Expenditure Survey, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Census of Retail
Trade reports, and from the U.S. Census Bureau’s Economic Census. A third-party data provider,
Synergos Technologies, synthesizes this data and reports it for defined and custom geographies. In
partnership with Retail Strategies, CAI analyzed this data for retail sectors in Spokane Valley. For this
analysis, only store-based retail sales are considered. It should be noted that e-commerce is not
included in the analysis. Consumer demand and market supply data are provided in Exhibit 1. The
Business Type column provides a list of retail sectors within the market. The Consumer Demand column
captures total consumer expenditure. The Market Supply column provides total retail sales as reported
by local retailers. The Percent Surplus field reports surplus as a percentage of market supply. Retail
sectors are experiencing shortage when consumer demand exceeds market supply. Conversely, a sector
is experiencing a surplus when market supply exceeds demand. The incidence of surplus may signal that
retail sales within the market are being generated beyond the city itself, since spending exceeds what
would be expected based on resident buying power alone.

Sources: U.S. Census Bureau; BLS; STI Market Outlook; Retail Strategies; CAI
Almost all retail sectors in Spokane Valley are experiencing some degree of retail surplus. Generally,
retailers in the market are reporting sales beyond the expected expenditure of local consumers. The
general merchandise sector has the largest surplus at 65.3%. Substantial surpluses are also reported for
auto, furniture, building materials/equipment, food and beverage, clothing, and hobby retailers. As an
aggregate statistic across all sectors, there is a surplus of approximately 48.1%, signaling that
approximately 51.9% of local retail sales are generated by consumers that live in Spokane Valley. Given
Spokane Valley’s position along a major interstate corridor leading to the larger City of Spokane,
consumers may often stop for goods and services on their way to and from the central city. Spokane
Valley’s retail centers along the Interstate 90 corridor may also serve as a more convenient alternative
to driving all the way into Spokane for consumers who live to the east of the metro area.
Retail gap analyses have some limitations. As mentioned previously, this analysis does not account for
sales made through digital channels. Including this data in the analysis could change overall retail
demand and supply in the market. Gap analysis is also unable to identify the geographic origins of retail
shortage or surplus. It is not possible to profile the consumers who are contributing to retail sales for a
given a market. Further, gap analysis assumes implicitly that all local consumer expenditure is self-
contained within the geographic area of interest. For example, a consumer who purchases motor vehicle
parts from a store in a neighboring county would still report their expenditure as a resident of Spokane
Valley. This can potentially overinflate consumer demand metrics across retail sectors, particularly for
goods that are often purchased on trips, such as food, clothing, and gasoline.
Trade Capture Analysis
Trade capture analysis is a useful tool for understanding retail spending per capita in Spokane Valley
relative to other geographies. In this study, the analysis does not specifically delineate whether
consumers are coming from within or beyond the city limits to make purchases, but it does provide
meaningful metrics for understanding retail performance in Spokane Valley relative to the region
overall. In this exercise, total taxable retail sales from the Washington state Department of Revenue are
calculated within the City of Spokane Valley and benchmarked against the broader region (the City of
Spokane and Washington State). Retail trade capture rates are calculated for various retail categories
derived from NAICS categories. Exhibit 2 shows total retail sales in millions for Spokane Valley and
Spokane. This analysis is based largely off a previous study of retail trade in Spokane Valley from 2014
with minor methodological changes based on current data availability.

Exhibit 2 demonstrates that Motor Vehicles and Parts represent the largest retail spending category in
Spokane Valley, even greater than Spokane. General Merchandise stores are also a major spending
category within the Spokane Valley.Other key sales categories for Spokane Valley include Building
Materials, Food Service, and non-store retailers. These three categories are also key components of
retail sales in Spokane, but on a much larger scale. These sales figures can be used to derive sales per
capita by category. Population estimates for Spokane Valley and the region are used to establish per
capita retail spending (Exhibit 3). Per capita sales are stacked for Spokane Valley, Spokane, and
Washington state. Spokane Valley has higher per capita retail sales in almost all retail categories.

Per capita spending for Motor Vehicles and General Merchandise far exceeds per capita spending in
Spokane and the state overall. Food Stores and Accommodationper capita sales are somewhat similar
across all geographies. Exhibit 4 displays the trade capture rate of each major retail category. The
expected trade capture rate depends on the type of retail that exists in the City and the area from which
it draws customers. This statistic is a ratio of retail sales per capita for Spokane Valley and a larger
geographic benchmark –in this case, Spokane County. This analysis reveals that Spokane Valley captures
more than 100% of spending powerfor allretail categories when benchmarked against per capita
spending at the county level. Trade capture can be interpreted in the following manner: if a
neighborhood retail corridor had a trade capture rate of exactly 100%, then sales in that neighborhood
would be equivalent to all trade area residents conducting all retail spending within their neighborhood
retail corridor. In reality, the trade capture rates for Spokane Valley represent the percentage of Primary
Trade Area retail spending power (local resident spending power) captured by Spokane Valley retail
businesses. It represents the percentage of local retail spending power captured by local businesses.

Exhibit 4. Retail Trade Capture, Spokane Valley, 2021

This trade capture analysis demonstrates that Motor Vehicle and General Merchandise categories
perform strongly in Spokane Valley benchmarked against theregion overall. These categories make up a
substantial proportion of total sales, per capita sales, and commensurately, trade capture. Certainly,
there are some key limitations to trade capture studies. Little geographic context is provided beyond
what can be measured comparatively, and it is unclear how sales for these categories are distributed
across the city or the region. Primarily, the trade capture analysis is concerned with the spending power
of consumers. The followingmobile traffic analysis may be bettersuited to capture spatial patterns in
retailing in Spokane Valley.
Mobile Traffic Analysis
While the mobile traffic analysis cannot delineate retail sales from within and beyond Spokane Valley, it
does provide geographical context for understanding patterns of consumption at major retail centers in
Spokane Valley. Tracking the movement of consumers through mobile phones has become a key
component of retail market analysis in recent years. Mobile data can be used to analyze customer
journeys, visitation patterns, banneraffinity, cross-shopbetween competing locations, and other spatial
dynamics. In partnership with Retail Strategies, CAI was able to access mobile data reports for Spokane
Valley using data collectedby NearIntelligenceand vendedthroughSitewise. In its raw form, mobile
data can capture individual devices that have visited certain locations within a specified time horizon. It
can also produce a common evening location for those devices. This common evening location is
typically understood to be the home of the owner of the device. The mobile data vended to Retail
Strategies by Sitewise has been packaged as high-level reports rather than raw data. These reports do
Spokane Valley Retail Sales Tax Analysis6
Sources of Retail Sales Tax Generation
March 2023
not precisely identify the proportion of retail consumers that are local to Spokane Valley or visitors. Such
an analysis would require either raw mobile data, or the creation of a more detailed customized report
in cooperation with Sitewise. These options were not feasible within the time horizon and budget of the
project. However, aggregated mobile data reports can still provide important context for understanding
visitation patterns to the city in general. One of the reports furnished by Sitewise includes primary and
secondary custom trading areas (CTAs) for the Spokane Valley Mall, one of the high-gravity shopping
centers in the city. These trade areas are provided in Exhibit 5. The blue polygon delineates the primary
CTA, which captures 70% of all visitors (or devices) to the Spokane Valley Mall. The yellow polygon
delineates the secondary CTA, which captures 90% of all visitors to the Spokane Valley Mall.
The geometry of the trade area of the Spokane Valley Mall clearly traces the Interstate 90 corridor
eastward, crossing the Idaho border into Post Falls. The trade area also follows the State Highway 290
corridor to the northeast which transitions to Highway 53 across the Idaho border. Additionally, the
CTAs indicate that the mall draws some traffic from the south via the State Highway 27 corridor through
Mica and Freeman. To the west, the trade area falls away once after reaching the City of Spokane. This
suggests that visitors from out of town are accessing the Spokane Valley Mall as a major regional center
via Interstate 90 and other arterial highways, but consumers living in Spokane are frequenting more
convenient shopping centers, likely in Spokane itself, for their shopping needs.

In addition to trade areas, the mobile data reports available through Retail Strategiescan alsoprovide
key visitation metrics fora sample of high-gravity retail locations within Spokane Valley. Exhibit6
provides a mobile data summary for five retail nodes: Walmart Supercenter, Fred Meyer, Spokane Valley
Mall, Spokane Valley Plaza, and Evergreen Crossing.The exhibitprovides estimates of annual visitsand
the number of unique visitors for each location. To be clear, visits and visitors are distinct metrics in
mobile data analysis. Visits refers to the total number of times a mobile device appears in a given
location. Visitors refers to the unique device owners who visit that same location. One visitor can make
multiple visits to a location.In Exhibit 6, the Repeat Visitors column captures the percentage of visitors
who frequented a retail location multiple times within the past month.The Tourists column reflectsthe
percentage of unique visitors with a common evening location that is over 100miles from the subject
retail location.Generally, these are consumers who do not live in Spokane Valley or the surrounding
region. They reside over 100 miles away. The Mean Distance column reports theaverage distance from

a visitor’s estimated home location for each retail node. A Total row provides the sum of visits and
visitors, while also showing weighted averages for repeat visitors, tourists, and mean distance travelled.

Sources: Near Intelligence; Sitewise; Retail Strategies; CAI
As evidenced by Exhibit 6, the Spokane Valley Mall enjoys the highest regional gravity, with more annual
visits and visitors than any other retail node in the sample. The mall also carries a substantial tourist
draw, and on average, consumers are driving further distances to access the mall’s offerings than other
retail centers. Intuitively, Fred Meyer and Walmart both have a more localized draw than the larger
shopping centers in the sample due to their emphasis on grocery products and their location along the
Sprague Avenue corridor, further away from regional access via Interstate 90. This is further reflected in
the mean distances travelled for each location. Evergreen Crossing and the Spokane Valley Mall have
mean distances that extend beyond the city limits of Spokane Valley, while the remaining centers and
stores have values for mean distance travelled that are contained within Spokane Valley.
While the mobile data summary in Exhibit 6 provides noteworthy geographical context for
understanding the movement of consumers within and around Spokane Valley, it does not provide a full
understanding of how much consumer spending in Spokane Valley is attributable to residents of other
places. Although mobile data is theoretically well-suited to provide a ground truth understanding of
which consumers reside in Spokane Valley, the mobile data currently available through partnership with
Retail Strategies is not packaged to support such an analysis. Even in overcoming these limitations, any
analysis of mobile data has other weaknesses. Most significantly, visitation does not necessarily yield a
transaction. It is very common for consumers to visit a store without making a purchase. Visitors may be
browsing or making returns. Additionally, households with multiple device owners that visit stores
together typically only make a single purchase. Applying mobile data to this study requires an
assumption that some percentage of visitors to a retail location will make a purchase. Further, it is
important to remember that mobile data is almost always based on a sample of the population. Many
data providers will model estimated visitation based on this sample of devices. Mobile phone users who
do not use certain applications or agree to certain user terms will not be captured. Of course, consumers
who do not use mobile phones, and those who disable geolocation settings are also excluded from the
samples collected by mobile data vendors.

Summary and Findings
This study leverages a retail gap analysis to estimate the proportion of taxable retail sales generated by
consumers living in Spokane Valley, and those living beyond the city limits. The gap analysis indicates
that approximately 48% of retail spending occurring in Spokane Valley exceeds the demand that would
be expected based on Spokane Valley residents alone, and therefore may be attributable to consumers
who reside in other jurisdictions. This key finding will support the establishment of a Transportation
Benefit District within Spokane Valley. Trade Capture Analysis is also presented to provide additional
metrics for retail sales performance in Spokane Valley relative to Spokane and the state overall, and this
analysis shows that retailers in Spokane Valley, across various retail segments, garner higher retail
spending than would be expected based on countywide spending patterns. In addition, a mobile data
traffic analysis provides additional context for understanding the regional gravity of retail nodes within
Spokane Valley. Beyond the present establishment of a TBD, these three analyses can provide actionable
insights for economic development and retail planning in the future for Spokane Valley.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2024 Draft Federal Legislative Agenda and Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The 2023 Federal Legislative Agenda was adopted on
December 20, 2022 and amended on June 6, 2023 to add the Barker/I-90 Interchange project.
BACKGROUND:
This is an admin report to provide a recap of 2023 federal legislative efforts and presentation of
the proposed 2024 Federal Legislative Agenda. We seek Council’s feedback on the draft agenda
with a motion for consideration planned for an upcoming meeting.
2023 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AGENDA STATUS REPORT
Mike Pieper of Cardinal Infrastructure will provide a presentation on the City’s 2023 efforts to
advance its priority policies and projects including the Sullivan/Trent Interchange, South Barker
Corridor, Argonne Bridge Widening at I-90, and Barker/I-90 Interchange.
2024 DRAFT FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
The proposed 2024 Federal Legislative Agenda includes the current four capital projects carried
over from the 2023 Legislative Agenda and three key policy priorities.
CAPITAL PROJECTS
1. Sullivan/Trent Interchange
This project will reconstruct the existing interchange at Sullivan Road and Trent
Avenue (SR 290) and replace both Sullivan Road bridges over the BNSF Railway
tracks and four lanes of Trent. The existing signalized intersections will be replaced
with a "peanut" roundabout.
The City has secured sufficient federal and state funding for the engineering and right-of-
way phases of the project and continues to pursue funding for the construction phase.
A Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) was issued for the federal Bridge Investment
Program for projects of $100 million or more. Sen. Murray’s Office has shared that a new
NOFO grant is expected for less costly bridge projects which we will evaluate for the
Sullivan/Trent Interchange as well as the other bridge projects listed below.
2. South Barker Road Corridor Projects
This corridor is a series of six City projects and one WSDOT project from Mission Avenue
th
to the City boundary just south of 8Avenue to improve capacity to better manage
extensive growth in the area. One of the six projects has been completed and three are
under design as the City seeks right-of-way and construction funds. Additionally, the City
continues to seek funding for design of the remaining two projects.
3. Argonne Bridge at I-90
This project was added to the 2023 Federal Legislative Agenda to address the critical
bottleneck on this bridge over I-90 and is a companion project to STA’s future Park and
Ride Facility. The City is utilizing SRTC funds awarded in 2022 for design and project
scoping and will pursue federal grant opportunities once the scope is more clearly defined.
4. Barker/I-90 Interchange
This interchange is the most important element of this regional corridor due to immense
industrial and residential growth spanning Spokane Valley, Spokane County and Liberty
Lake. This project was added to the City’s Federal Legislative Agenda in June to ensure
its inclusion on SRTC’s unified list, elevating the importance of funding design
immediately. The City seeks federal, state and local partnerships to replace the existing
two-lane bridge with a new four-lane bridge as well as to replace the two single-lane
roundabouts with two-lane roundabouts.
POLICY STATEMENTS
The City has updated the 2023 agenda to remove the long-standing economic development and
permitting policy statements. Addressing housing needs and the growing epidemic of substance
abuse was added first as a policy priority to highlight the City’s request for federal assistance and
resources to better respond to the opioid crisis and its widespread impacts on our community.
The other policies address the Council’s priorities of transportation and infrastructure needs.
1. Policy Consideration #1 – Concern Over the Unhoused and Growing Epidemic of
Substance Abuse: The City of Spokane Valley supports immediate passage of legislation
to reauthorize the SUPPORT Act and encourages action by the courts to reverse harmful
court decisions limiting the City’s ability to regulate its public spaces. The City will advocate
for federal programs and funding to advance meaningful outcomes to address
homelessness. Additionally, the City will seek to utilize programs and funding from the
federal government to increase drug treatment and enforcement programs. The City
supports passage of the Halt Fentanyl and Fend Off Fentanyl Acts to address the national
fentanyl crisis.
2. Policy Consideration #2 - Eliminate Obstacles to Efficient Implementation of Federal
Transportation Projects: The City has encountered obstacles to the timely use of federal
funding in the construction of critical transportation projects. The City will work with
Washington State’s Congressional representatives and the U.S. Department of
Transportation to ensure that coordination between federal agencies does not continue to
delay the efficient use of federal transportation funds.
3. Policy Consideration #3 – Continue Federal Infrastructure Partnerships: Given the
unprecedented growth and maintenance needs of existing infrastructure within the region,
the City encourages Congress to continue federal participation in locally directed projects.
The City fully supports its partnership with the Federal Department of Transportation to
implement the projects and programs funded through federal grant programs. The City
encourages Members of Congress to visit our region and see the extraordinary growth
driving these critical infrastructure projects and the City’s wise stewardship of federally
awarded funds.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Admin Report Update on CLFR Funds Allocated for Behavioral Health
Programs
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On May 31, 2022, Council provided direction to allocate
$1 million the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund (CLFR)
toward mental health and mental health learning support for youth programs.
An admin report was provided at the August 29, 2023 meeting to provide information about
behavioral health program options including a potential partnership with Spokane County
Behavioral Health and East Valley School District (EVSD) for the Initiative for Student Wellness
(ISW) program. The Council indicated consensus for the City to work with the County to provide
funding for the ISW program at EVSD..
BACKGROUND:
Following the August 29 meeting, the Spokane County Board of County Commissioners decided
to fully fund the ISW program at East Valley School District
needed. This means that the allocated CLFR funding is still available for mental health/youth
mental health programs or any other purpose that Council would like to support. Staff is seeking
direction on whether the Council would like to continue to allocate $1M of CLFR funding toward
behavioral health programs as previously directed or if it would like to modify and/or expand the
allowable use of these funds for other areas of focus.
However Council desires to move forward with allocating these funds, staff recommends using a
Request For Proposal (RFP) process to ensure fairness to potentially interested service providers
and to allow Council to fully vet potential proposals and awarded projects. Staff can initiate the
RFP process for the desired allocation focus immediately after receiving direction on this issue.
Once proposals are received, staff will compile the information and the Council will review, grade,
and select which proposal or proposals that you prefer.
OPTIONS: Discussion; consensus on desired allocation focus, such as remaining with behavioral
health or other desired areas of focus.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus to continue to allocate the $1 million toward
behavioral health programs or, if desired, modify and/or expand the allowable category to other
areas of focus, and to initiate a Request for Proposal process for distributing these funds.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE:YMCA Pools ContractAmendmentand Restatement of Terms
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approval of prior 2015 contract and subsequent 3-year
renewal options in 2018 and 2021.
BACKGROUND: The YMCA has operated the City’s three outdoor pools since 2005. Requests
for Qualifications that were published in 2009 and again in 2015 saw the YMCA as the sole
responder. The City’s partnership with the YMCA has provided a beneficial service to our
community and continues to receive positive feedback.
The current contract with the YMCA expires on December 31, 2023. The City will be embarking
on an update of its 6-year Parks & Recreation Master Plan in 2024 and 2025 and would like to
extend the current contract with the YMCA for another 3-year term beginning next year, with two
additional 3-year renewal options.
Minor changes to the contract are proposed to reflect current practices between the parties, and
to adjust the annual administrative fee that is paid to the YMCA, which has not increased since
2014. In addition to the annual administrative fee, the City pays the YMCA for actual expenses
monthly during the aquatics season based on itemized invoices. To update the terms for
consistency with other City contracts, this amendment restates the terms in their entirety. If
approved the new terms in this amendment will control the agreement moving forward.
OPTIONS: Consider amending and restating the terms of the current YMCA Agreement for
Operations and Maintenance of Pool Facilities in substantially the form provided or take other
action as recommended.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus to bring a motion forward at a future City
Council meeting to authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the amendment and
restatement of terms to the YMCA Agreement for Operations and Maintenance of Pool Facilities.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The proposed contract would increase the annual
compensation to the YMCA from $34,000 plus actual expenses to $40,000 plus actual expenses,
with an annual adjustment of the administrative fee not to exceed 3% or the CPI, whichever is
smaller. The anticipated actual cost to the City for the 2024 aquatics season under this agreement
would be an estimated $597,970.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Lodging Tax Advisory Committee - 2024 Recommended Grant
Allocations for Lodging Tax Funds - Tourism Promotion
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State Law RCW 82.08 and 67.28; Spokane Valley Municipal Code
3.20
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Thus far in 2023 for the 2024 awards, the Council has
had discussions pertaining to lodging tax as follows:
July 18, 2023 where we discussed:
o Lodging tax in general – what it is and how it may be expended.
o The LTAC – what it is and its role in the process.
o The Council’s role in the process.
o Council goals and priorities for the LTAC.
August 8, 2023, where Council discussed and reached consensus on the goals and
priorities that should be included in the lodging tax grant application and communicated to
the LTAC.
BACKGROUND: In 2003 the City implemented a 2% hotel/motel tax, the proceeds of which are
used to promote conventions and tourist travel to our City. The organizations to which the tax
proceeds are distributed are ultimately determined by the City Council which receives a
recommendation from the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC). The LTAC is comprised of
five members who are appointed by the City Council. The LTAC membership must include:
At least two representatives of businesses that are required to collect the tax,
At least two people who are involved in activities that are authorized to be funded by the tax,
and
One elected city official who serves as chairperson of the LTAC.
The LTAC makes its recommendations based upon a combination of written application materials
and an oral presentation by each applicant.
On October 26, 2023, the LTAC met to consider proposals and presentations from applicants
seeking a portion of the $1,252,200 appropriated in the City’s 2024 Budget for the 2% portion of
lodging taxes in Fund #105, and for amounts from the 1.3% portion of taxes in Fund #104.
The requests received for 2024 awards from the 2% portion of the tax totaled $641,360.
Presentations for these funds were made by Cody Productions, CNC Productions, Family Guide,
JAKT for both Crave and Farmer's Market, Northwest Winterfest, Spokane Conservation District,
Spokane Co Fair and Expo Center, Spokane Valley Heritage Museum, Spokane Valley HUB
Sports Center, Spokane Valley Summer Theatre, Victory Media, Washington State Quilters -
Spokane Chapter, and WinterGlow Spectacular.
One application was received from The City of Spokane Valley in partnership with Spokane Sports
from the 1.3% tax for a capital project to develop a Cross Country/Cyclocross Course &
Clubhouse at Flora Park.

Following applicant presentations, the LTAC discussed both the merits of making particular
awards to various applicants and how they felt revenues should be allocated. Ultimately, the
LTAC recommended the following awards be advanced to the City Council for consideration:

These recommendations were made in two motions. The first motion included the awards from
the 2% lodging tax from Fund #105 as noted above. The recommended grant funding allocations
from the 2% tax totals $458,625. As part of the first motion, the LTAC also recommended
transferring $793,575 from Fund #105 to Fund #104. The first motion passed unanimously.
2
The second motion was regarding funding for a new Cross Country/Cyclocross Course &
Clubhouse at Flora Park as a capital project from the 1.3% lodging tax in Fund #104. The motion
unanimously passed to recommend allocating $4,400,000 to the City of Spokane Valley in
partnership with Spokane Sports for this project.
At times some organizations apply for funding through both the Outside Agency and the Lodging
Tax award processes. The HUB, JAKT, Spokane Valley Heritage Museum, Spokane Valley
Summer Theatre, all applied for Lodging Tax Funding for 2024, as well as for 2024 Outside
Agency funding.
OPTIONS: The options for City Council action have been viewed as primarily being limited to
either (1) approving some or all of the listed recipients and amounts recommended by the LTAC
or (2) not approving any recipients and having the LTAC revise its recommendation for further
City Council action. However, under RCW 67.28.1817, a municipality may propose “a change in
the use of revenue received under \[RCW 67.28\],” but must submit the proposal to the LTAC for
review and comment. Then, the LTAC must be given at least 45 days to review and provide
comments prior to final action by the municipality. This allows the City Council to conduct its own
review of the materials submitted, including the minutes and recommended amounts by the LTAC,
to come up with its own proposed distribution of the revenue for any of the applicants, which may
be the same or different from the LTAC recommendation. If it is different, the City must give the
LTAC 45 days to review and provide comments on the proposed revised distribution before taking
final action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action is required at this time. This topic will come
back before the City Council on December 12, 2023 when a motion consideration will be
requested.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2024 Budget includes total revenues of $1,590,000 in
lodging taxes, including $910,000 from Fund #105 from the 2% tax and $680,000 in Fund #104
from the 1.3% tax. Total expenditures are budgeted at $1,282,200 in Fund #105, including
$30,000 to offset advertising at CenterPlace and up to $1,252,200 to be allocated through this
award process. The fund balance at the conclusion of 2024 is expected to be about $181,000 in
Fund #105, which should be adequate to cover cash flow needs. There are currently no budgeted
2024 expenditures in Fund #104; however, if the Cross-Country course project is awarded,
expenditures will be added in a future 2024 budget amendment. If $4,400,000 is awarded from
Fund #104, there will be an estimated remaining fund balance of about $1,020,000 in that fund.

Re: Finance Department Activity Report Î August 2023
Following is information pertaining to Finance Department activities through the end of August

Budget to Actual Comparison Report
A report reflecting 2023 Budget to Actual Revenues and Expenditures for those funds for which
a 2023 Budget was adopted is located on pages 6 through 18. Because we attempt to provide
this information in a timely manner, this report is prepared from records that are not formally
closed by the Finance Department at month end or reconciled to bank records. Although it is
realistic to expect the figures will change over subsequent weeks, I believe the report is materially
accurate.
WeÓve included the following information in the report:
Revenues by source for all funds, and expenditures by department in the General Fund and
by type in all other funds.
A breakdown between recurring and nonrecurring revenues and expenditures in the General
Fund, Street O&M Fund and Stormwater Fund.
The change in fund balance including beginning and ending figures. The beginning fund
balance figures are those that are reflected in our 2022 Annual Financial Report.
Columns of information include:
o The 2023 Budget
o August 2023 activity
o Cumulative 2023 activity through August 2023
o Budget remaining in terms of dollars
o The percent of budgeted revenue collected or budgeted expenditures disbursed
A few points related to the General Fund #001 (page 6):
Recurring revenues collections are currently at 65.42% of the amount budgeted with 66.67% of
the year elapsed.
P:\\Finance\\Finance Activity Reports\\Council Monthly Reports\\2023\\2023 08 31.docx Page 2
Property taxes are paid to Spokane County in two installments each year on April 30 and
October 31 and are then remitted to the City primarily in May and November with lesser
amounts typically remitted in June and December. Property taxes received thus far in 2023
are $7,544,763 or 55.60% of the amount budgeted.
Sales tax collections represent only seven months of collections thus far because taxes
collected in August are not remitted to the City by the State until the latter part of
September. Collections are currently at $18,805,821 or 61.55% of the amount budgeted.
Gambling taxes are at $300,674 or 78.51% of the amount budgeted. Gambling taxes are paid
st
quarterly with third quarter payments due by October 31.
Franchise Fee and Business Registration revenues are typically received in the month
following a calendar year quarter. So far in 2023 we have received $736,006 or 60.58% of the
amount budgeted.
State shared revenues are composed of State of Washington distributions that include items
such as liquor board profits, liquor excise tax, streamlined sales tax mitigation and criminal
justice monies. Most of these revenues are paid by the State in the month following a
calendar quarter. Through August weÓve received remittances totaling $1,311,563 or
56.03% of the amount budgeted.
Fines and forfeitures revenues are composed of monthly remittances from Spokane County
with payments made in the month following the actual assessment of a fine and false alarm
fees. Through August weÓve received remittances through the month of July with receipts of
$283,382 or 54.64% of the amount budgeted.
Community and Public Works service revenues are largely composed of building permit and
plan review fees as well as right of way permits. Revenues are currently at $2,729,724 or
86.77% of the amount budgeted.
Recreation program revenues are composed of revenues generated by the variety of parks
and recreation programs including classes, swimming pools (in-season), and CenterPlace.
Currently, revenues total $645,727 or 103.23% of the amount budgeted.
Recurring expenditures are currently at $31,805,009 or 59.74% of the amount budgeted with
66.67% of the year elapsed.
Investments (page 19)
Investments at August 31 total $118,363,873 and are composed of $113,098,923 in the
Washington State Local Government Investment Pool and $5,264,950 in bank CDs.
Total Sales Tax Receipts (page 20)
Total sales tax receipts reflect State remittances through August and total $21,292,407 including
general, criminal justice, and public safety taxes. This figure is $659,705 or 3.20% greater than
the same seven-month period in 2022.
Economic Indicators (pages 21 Î 23)
The following economic indicators provide information pertaining to three different sources of tax
revenue that provide a good gauge of the health and direction of the overall economy.
1. Sales taxes (page 21) provide a sense of how much individuals and businesses are spending
on the purchase of goods.
2. Hotel / Motel taxes (page 22) provide us with a sense of overnight stays and visits to our area
by tourists or business travelers.
3. Real Estate Excise taxes (page 23) provide us with a sense of real estate sales.
P:\\Finance\\Finance Activity Reports\\Council Monthly Reports\\2023\\2023 08 31.docx Page 3
Page 21 provides a 10-year history of general sales tax receipts (not including public safety or
criminal justice) with monthly detail beginning January 2014.
Compared with calendar year 2022, 2023 collections have increased by $559,333 or 3.07%.
Tax receipts reached an all-time high in 2022 of $32,347,046, besting the previous record
year of 2021 when $31,499,534 was collected.
Page 22 provides a 10-year history of hotel/motel tax receipts with monthly detail beginning
January 2014.
Compared with calendar year 2022, 2023 collections have increased by $2,109 or 0.44%.
Collections reached an all-time high in 2022 of $901,686, besting the previous record of
$744,437 in 2021.
Page 23 provides a 10-year history of real estate excise tax receipts with monthly detail
beginning January 2014.
Compared with calendar year 2022, 2023 collections have decreased by $950,737 or 30.99%.
Collections appear to be more in line with historical amounts rather than the historic highs
seen in 2021 and 2022.
Collections reached an all-time high in 2021 of $6,218,227.
Debt Capacity and Bonds Outstanding (page 24)
This page provides information on the CityÓs debt capacity, or the dollar amount of General
Obligation (G.O.) Bonds the City may issue, as well as an amortization schedule of the bonds the
City currently has outstanding.
The maximum amount of G.O. bonds the City may issue is determined by the assessed value
for property taxes which for 2023 is $16,292,740,920. Following the December 1, 2022 debt
service payments, the City has $9,810,000 of nonvoted G.O. bonds outstanding which
represents 4.01% of our nonvoted bond capacity, and 0.80% of our total debt capacity for all
types of bonds. Of this amount:
o $3,430,000 remains on bonds issued for the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds
are repaid with a portion of the 1/10 of 1% sales tax that is collected by the Spokane Public
Facilities District.
o $155,000 remains on bonds issued for road and street improvements around CenterPlace.
The bonds are repaid with a portion of the real estate excise tax collected by the City.
o $6,225,000 remains on bonds issued for construction of the new City Hall. The bonds are
repaid with General Fund revenues.
Street Fund Revenue Sources (pages 25 and 26)
The last two charts reflect a history for the two primary sources of revenue in Street Fund #101.
These include:
Page 25 provides a 10-year history of Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax collections with monthly detail
beginning January 2014.
Compared with calendar year 2022, 2023 collections have decreased by $19,497 or 1.70%.
Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at approximately $2.1 million and have generally ranged around
$2 million in the years 2014 through 2022.
Page 26 provides a 10-year history of Telephone Utility Tax collections with monthly detail
beginning January 2014.
Compared with 2022, 2023 collections have decreased by $7,957 or 1.37%. Unlike tax
revenues collected by the State and remitted monthly, these taxes are paid to the City directly
P:\\Finance\\Finance Activity Reports\\Council Monthly Reports\\2023\\2023 08 31.docx Page 4
by the service provider. Consequently, there is not a "clean cutoff' in terms of when a vendor
pays the tax.
Tax receipts peaked in 2009 at $3,054,473 and have decreased each year since due to what
we suspect is the reduction in land lines by individual households as well as a reallocation of
revenues from voice plans to data plans by cell phone companies.
The 2023 Budget was adopted with a revenue estimate of $857,000. We will watch actual
receipts closely as the year progresses.

Sales tax receipts reported here reflect remittances for general sales tax, criminal justice
sales tax and public safety tax.
The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane
Valley is 8.9%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the
vendor to the Washington State Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to
the various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the total 8.9% tax rate to
the agencies is as follows:
-State of Washington6.50%
-City of Spokane Valley0.85%
-Spokane County0.15%
-Spokane Public Facilities District0.10%*
-Criminal Justice0.10%
-Public Safety0.10%*2.40%local tax
-Juvenile Jail0.10%*
-Mental Health0.10%*
-Law Enforcement Communications0.10%*
-Spokane Transit Authority0.80%*
8.90%
*Indicates voter approved sales taxes
In addition to the .85% reported above that the City receives, we also receive a portion of
the Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales taxes. The distribution of those taxes is
computed as follows:
Criminal Justice: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected, the
State distributes 10% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder
allocated on a per capita basis to the County and the cities within the County.
Public Safety: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected, the
State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder
allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.

Major Crimes Detectives Investigate Fatal Shooting - Spokane Valley Major Crimes Detectives
were investigating an apparent fatal shooting on N. Argonne Road near E. Knox Avenue in
Spokane Valley. In early September, at approximately 3:30 pm, Spokane Valley Patrol Deputies
responded to the report of an injured male in the 2200 block on N. Argonne. The caller stated the
male, bleeding from the chest, had just walked into the lobby of the business, but they didn’t know
what caused his injuries. Spokane Valley Deputies, Spokane County Deputies, and Spokane Valley
Fire personnel arrived, contacted the adult male victim, and provided medical care, including CPR,
for what appeared to be gunshot wounds. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, the adult male was
pronounced deceased at the scene. Major Crimes Detectives and Forensic Unit Technicians responded
to help locate the scene where the shooting occurred, process it for evidence, and continue the
investigation to determine what led to the victim's death. Through their on-going investigation,
Spokane Valley Major Crimes Detectives identified the 46-year-old male suspect in the fatal
st
shooting. Detectives developed probable cause to arrest the suspect for the charge of Murder 1
Degree. At approximately 12:45 am that night, detectives located the suspect at his home in the 2300
block of N. Hutchinson, and with the assistance of Spokane Valley Patrol Deputies, successfully took
him into custody without incident. The male suspectwas transported and booked intothe Spokane
st
County Jail for Murder 1 Degree. The Spokane County Medical Examiner’s Office will release the
name of the victim, along with his cause and manner of death, when appropriate.

Suspect Arrested After Violent Assault where He Robbed and Attempted to Sexually Assault
Employee of Business -Spokane Valley Deputies arrested the suspect in the violent assault of an
employee at a business in the 13500 block of E. Sprague in Spokane Valley. The suspect fled the
location when the deputies arrived but was later located and arrested with the assistance of an
Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). He was booked into jail on several felony charges. The victim
received a cut to her hand and some additional injuries from the assault but declined medical
attention at the scene. The 27-year-old male suspect is described as Asian/Pacific Islander,
approximately 5’06”, 140 lbs., with black hair and brown eyes, wearing baggie blue jeans, a blue
baggy t-shirt with a red and white design on the front, light-colored shoes and possibly a black
ball cap. Due to the information learned about previous acts he is suspected of committing,
combined with this incident, Sexual Assault Unit (SAU) Detectives believe the suspect is possibly
associated with other incidents that may not be reported yet. They would like to talk with
anyone who knows of the suspect’s activities on September 4, 2023, between 10:00 am and 11:30
am. Specifically, they are looking for any business or person who may have video of the suspect
during this timeframe between Pines Road and Evergreen Road along Sprague Avenue and the
surrounding area. They also hope to contact anyone who may recognize the male suspect and
may have witnessed any suspicious behavior or potential criminal activity in the last few months,
even if it hasn’t been reported. Please contact SAU Detective Tom Keys at 509-477- 3474,
reference #10133564. In early September, at approximately 11:00 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies
responded to a possible armed robbery in progress at a business in the 13500 block of E. Sprague in
Spokane Valley. Initially, information was limited due to a language barrier, but the caller stated the
27-year-old male suspect was still at the location, took the victim’s cell phone the day before, and was
now back at the business demanding money. The Spokane Regional Emergency Communications
(SREC) call taker could hear arguing, struggling, and the victim screaming in the
background. Deputies arrived at the location and could hear a woman scream as they entered the
building. They began to search as they announced their presence and contacted the adult female
victim, who was visibly scared and bleeding from her hand. With the assistance of an interpreter,
deputies learned the victim knew the suspect from previous contacts where he had reportedly been
harassing the victim and other employees. However, this time, the suspect physically assaulted the
victim, brought her to a back room against her will, threw her down on a bed, and forcefully removed
her clothes as she tried to resist. She thought she would be raped but then heard deputies announce
themselves, causing the suspect to flee the business. She described the male suspect as possibly a
black male and provided a picture she took on her phone. Deputies looked at the picture and put out
the suspect’s description to other Spokane Valley Patrol Deputies, who arrived and established a
perimeter. The victim said she believed the suspect was attempting to rape her, hit her several times
in the head with his fists, and said he previously stole $1,000 and a cellphone from her. During an
interview, she also disclosed that the male suspect sexually assaulted her two days before this current
incident, but she had not reported it yet. With probable cause established to arrest the suspect for
several felony charges, deputies, including a K9-Unit and a UAS operator, began searching the interior
area of the perimeter for him. Soon after the UAS was deployed, the suspect was located a short

distance away, hiding under a bush in a vacant lot east of S. Blake Road, by the UAS operator.As
deputies moved to the area to arrestthe suspect, he left his hiding spot, initially jogging, as he moved
away from the approaching deputies. From the picture provided by the victim and with the suspect’s
th
Degree
name, deputies realized the suspect had just been arrested at the end of August for Assault 4
with Sexual Motivation. During this incident, the suspect reportedly grabbed the breast of a 29-year-
old female victim without her consent. The suspect was released on his own recognizance by Spokane
County District Court Judge A. Biviano on September 1, 2023. Not knowing if the suspect was armed,
although reported to possibly be armed with a knife, and with him not following commands to stop
and show his hands, two impact munitions were deployed after he reached toward his waistband area
and continued his defiance. With the K9-Unit now assisting, the male suspect became compliant and
was safely taken into custody. The suspect refused medics and was transported and booked into the
ststnd
Spokane County Jail for Burglary 1Degree, Robbery 1Degree (attempted), Assault 2 Degree,
ndst
Degree (attempted), and Rape 1Degree (attempted). Detectives learned the suspect
Kidnapping 2
is also listed as a suspect in the rape of a female in August 2023 and suspected of entering a home
uninvited and attempting to coax a young adult female into having sex with him. Both of these
incidents are currently being investigated. Due to the information learned about previous acts the
suspect is suspected of committing, combined with this incident, Sexual Assault Unit (SAU)
Detectives believe the suspect is possibly associated with other incidents that may not be reported
yet. They would like to talk with anyone who knows of the suspect’s activities on September 4,
2023, between 10:00 am and 11:30 am. Specifically, they are looking for any business or person
who may have video of the suspect during this timeframe between Pines Road and Evergreen
Road along Sprague Avenue and the surrounding area. They also hope to contact anyone who
may recognize the suspect and may have witnessed any suspicious behavior or potential criminal
activity in the last few months, even if it hasn’t been reported. Please contact SAU Detective
Tom Keys at 509-477- 3474, reference #10133564.
SWAT Team Utilized to Safely Take a Multi-Time Convicted Felon into Custody - Spokane
Valley Deputies and the SWAT Team worked together to locate and safely arrest a multi-time
convicted felon on new charges stemming from an incident that took place earlier in the day. A
second person was also contacted and arrested for a valid felony Idaho warrant. In early
September, at approximately 3:05 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the 12700 block of E.
rd
3Avenue for a malicious mischief call involving asuspect armed with a baseball bat. Deputies
learned the 32-year-old male suspect shattered the back window of the victim’s vehicle with a baseball
bat. Through the investigation, it appears this incident began earlier in the day when the victim
confronted a 31-year-old female and believed to be the suspect’s girlfriend, about some money she
owed him. During that contact, an argument between the female and the victim ensued, and the victim
left. Later, the suspect went to the victim’s apartment, entered without knocking or permission, and
began yelling the victim’s name. When the victim moved to his front room, he saw the suspect
standing inside his apartment, holding a metal baseball bat by his side. They argued about the debt
and the earlier incident, which ended with the victim telling the suspect to leave. The male suspect
held the bat above his head and threatened the victim before he left the location. Once outside, the
Page 5
suspect put on a gold mask, walked over to the victim’s vehicle, and smashed the back window with
the bat before leaving on foot.Deputy Blaakman later identified the suspect as the investigation

continued. He developed probable cause to charge the male suspect with Burglary 1Degree,

Degree. Deputy Blaakman began to

surveil the suspect’s residence and observed him arrive in a vehicle and enter the home in the 13300

Avenue. With the male suspect being a multi-time convicted felon and known to be
block of E. 4
armed in the past, a perimeter was established around the residence. PA announcements were given,
instructing the male suspect to surrender peacefully and exit the home with his hands up.The suspect
ignored the commands and refused to exit, leading to the request for a search warrant and the SWAT
Team’s assistance due to the suspect’s habitual and violent past. With a valid search warrant granted
and SWAT Team members arriving as continued commands and advisories were given, the male
suspect finally surrendered and was taken into custody without incident. The female also surrendered,
and a check of her name revealed a valid Kootenai County felony warrant for her arrest. Both the
male and female suspects were transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail. The male

suspect was charged with Burglary 1

Victim/Witnesses Say Driver Slowed/Stopped at Crosswalk before Accelerating, Hitting the
Victim before Fleeing the Scene - Spokane Valley Deputies arrested the suspect in the felony
assault of a pedestrian who was at/in a crosswalk. The victim and witnesses stated the driver of
the truck slowed/stopped at the crosswalk, but when the victim was in front of the Ford, the
driver revved the engine, accelerated, and then hit the victim. The driver fled the scene but
called 911 (approximately 20 minutes later), saying the victim had something in his hand, which
he believed was a gun, so he fled. As he drove away, the suspect realized the victim was holding
a caulk gun because it was on his hood, near the windshield. After being interviewed, he was
arrested and booked into jail. The victim had no life-threatening injuries and was transported
by a private vehicle to the hospital for further evaluation. In mid-September, just after 7:00 pm,
Spokane Valley Deputies responded to a vehicle/pedestrian collision on E. Mission Avenue, near N.
Bowman Road. The silver Ford truck fled east from the scene after hitting the adult male victim and
did not stop. Deputies arrived, and Spokane Valley Fire provided medical treatment and evaluated
him for injuries. He was transported to the hospital by private vehicle for additional
treatment/evaluation per his decision. The victim said he first observed the truck traveling west on
Mission Ave. at approximately 70 mph. He heard the Ford turn around and planned to confront the
driver to ask him to slow down. The truck slowed, sped up, and then stopped just before the crosswalk
he was standing at. When he entered the crosswalk in front of the Ford, the 20-year-old male driver
“just gunned it” and hit him. The victim fell to the ground, hitting his head, hand, and elbow as the
truck sped away. Witnesses also stated that the male suspect slowed/stopped before the
crosswalk. However, once the victim was in front of the Ford, the suspect revved the engine,
accelerated, struck the victim, and fled the area. Just before 7:25 pm, the male suspect called to report
he was the driver of the Ford involved in the collision and provided his location. When a deputy
arrived, the suspect said he was initially driving west on Mission from Park because he had been
Page 6
working on his Ford due to a mechanical issue.While returning, he approached a crosswalk in front
of the elementary school and observed the victim standing at/in the crosswalk.The suspect said he
came to a stop, and the victim just stood there. The victim then turned toward the suspect’s vehicle
and moved toward him with a caulk gun in his hand. The suspect said he didn’t realize the object in
the victim’s hand was a caulk gun until later because it was dark. Thinking the victim was holding a
firearm, the suspect tried to go around the victim to “get out of there.” As he drove away, the suspect
observed the victim on the side of the road, appearing to be getting up. The suspect said he was not
sure if he hit the victim or not. While driving away, he realized it was a caulk gun, not a firearm the
victim was holding, so he wanted to get his truck to his home before calling 911. He didn’t call to
report this incident until approximately 20 minutes after the collision and after he called a family
member and his girlfriend. Initially, the suspect removed the caulk gun from his hood but put it back
after he called law enforcement. Deputies noted the male suspect showed no signs of impairment, and
he denied using any alcohol/narcotics during the evening. Through the investigation, deputies
developed probable cause to arrest the suspect for two felony charges; he was transported and booked

Male in Crisis and a Danger to Himself and Others, Provided Medical Treatment but Released
Soon After, Recontacted Again as a Disorderly Male - Spokane Valley and Spokane County
Deputies responded to a disorderly male in crisis, whose actions were clearly a danger to himself
and others. He was taken into custody after a short struggle and brought to a medical center
for much-needed treatment and was not criminally charged. Hours later, deputies again
responded to a call regarding a disorderly male running through a hotel, banging on doors,
yelling for people to call 911. After running from deputies and activating the hotel’s fire alarm,
he was taken into custody. Deputies determined this was the same male taken into custody
earlier and brought to a medical center. Further investigation found the man was discharged
from the medical center and ran from family members once outside. The male, clearly in crisis
and a danger to himself and others, was booked into the Spokane County Jail for a misdemeanor
charge of Tampering with a Fire Alarm and mental health paperwork was completed, ensuring
a mental health professional would contact him. Although charged with a misdemeanor crime,
we are not releasing the man’s name for his privacy. In mid-September, 2023, at approximately
1:40 am, Spokane Valley and Spokane County Deputies responded to the report of a male claiming
someone was messing with his residence. A family member of the man got on the phone advising the
male was “freaking out” and was now going east on Mansfield toward Pines. The family member said
he believed the man, only wearing shorts, was high/impaired and confirmed nothing suspicious was
occurring at the residence. At approximately 1:45 am, multiple callers reported a male (determined to
be the same person) was at a business in the 2100 block of N. Pines Road, yelling about someone
killing people. The male was last seen running toward I-90. A few minutes later, a caller reported the
male was in a grassy area on Pines, near Indiana. A second caller, an employee of a business in the
area, said the male ran through the front door and out the back door of the business. He was last seen
running south on Pines, and the caller was concerned the male might try to run onto I-90. Another
caller reported the male was saying someone was being murdered. At approximately 1:50 am, a caller
Page 7
reported almost hitting a shirtless male who jumped the barrier of I-90 and ran across.As multiple
deputies searched for the male near the 1700 block of N. Union, another caller reported hearing
possible gunshots and witnessing a male, who matched the initial male’s description, throwing
rocks. A deputy stopped on I-90 near Pines with his emergency lights activated to warn unsuspecting
motorists on I-90, while hoping to deter the man from running back toward/across the roadway. Other
deputies reported hearing the man but could not visually locate him. As deputies continued to search
on foot, the deputy on I-90 noticed a semi-truck stopped to his west with its hazard lights on as the
truck driver called to report a male had just run across the freeway. The deputy looped around to the
westbound side of I-90 as another deputy reported seeing the male running northbound across the
interstate. The deputy on I-90 noticed a figure jump the northern barrier of I-90 (south of Bates and
Indiana) and quickly responded to make contact. In full uniform and a clearly marked patrol car, the
deputy attempted to contact the man, identifying himself as a deputy, even illuminating himself with
his flashlight to show his uniform. The man tried climbing the barrier toward the interstate but fell
backward. He stood back up, yelling for help as he continued walking west, away from the
deputy. The man climbed back over the barrier onto the shoulder of the roadway. The deputy told
him to sit down, noting the male’s chest and stomach had multiple bleeding cuts, believed to have
been caused as he crossed over fences. The male’s knees were bleeding from open cuts, and he
appeared out of breath as he clutched his chest. The male, showing obvious signs of being in crisis,
began to run toward the travel lanes. The deputy took him to the ground, preventing him from crossing
the highway, risking his safety and the motorists in the area. The man pulled his arms away and
struggled as the deputy requested emergency assistance via his radio. Eventually, he gained control
and placed the man in handcuffs. He continued efforts to try and calm the man down as additional
deputies arrived to assist. Medics were requested to evaluate the man, and he was taken to a medical
center under the Involuntary Treatment Act (ITA) for crisis treatment and was not charged with a
crime. Later in the morning, at approximately 5:40 am, deputies were called to a hotel in the 12400
block of E. Mission for a reported disorderly male. The caller stated the male, later determined to be
the same male noted above, appeared to have a wristband from a hospital and was running around,
knocking on all the doors, telling people to call 911. Multiple callers reported similar activity. As
deputies responded, they realized this was probably the same male who was in crisis and brought to a
medical center earlier in the morning. Staff brought a deputy to the male’s location, where he
continued to yell, telling the deputy he was not the police. Attempts to de-escalate the man did not
work, as he ran into a stairwell, and a fire alarm sounded. The deputy went downstairs and found the
man standing near a wall-mounted fire alarm, confronting another assisting deputy. With the
assistance of other arriving deputies, the male was again placed in custody. It was later determined
that the man was discharged from the medical center after refusing treatment, despite his obviously
altered mental state, and ran from a family member’s car in the parking lot. He continued to ramble
about a plot to kill him throughout the contact. Taking all of this into account and not wanting to see
the man injure himself or others, combined with it being abundantly clear he was not making rational
decisions, he was arrested for Tampering with a Fire Alarm, a misdemeanor. After receiving a
booking exception for his safety and others, he was transported and booked into the Spokane County
Jail. Additionally, mental health hold paperwork was completed, ensuring a mental health
professional would see him prior to release.

Suspect Arrested for Felony Harassment After Threatening to Shoot Victim while Walking
Around an Apartment Complex with a Realistic-Looking BB Gun - Spokane Valley Deputies
responded to an apartment complex for several calls reporting a male with a gun walking around
the complex. The victim stated the suspect threatened to shoot him, and he feared for his and
his child’s life and fled the location. The suspect was contacted and detained. As the
investigation continued, a realistic-looking replica BB gun was located and seized in his
apartment. The suspect was booked into the Spokane County Jail for Felony Harassment,
where he remains with his bond set at $5,000 by Spokane County Superior Court Commissioner
J. Pelc. In late September, at approximately 10:00 pm, Spokane Valley Deputies responded to several
reports of a possibly intoxicated male resident of the apartment complex, 22 N. Skipworth, walking
around carrying a weapon (described as a Tec-9, or Ak-47). The victim reported that the 20-year-old
male suspect seemed intoxicated and walked by his apartment carrying a firearm, called him a snitch,
and threatened to shoot him. Deputies arrived and located the suspect outside on a second-story
balcony and successfully detained him. The male suspect repeatedly told deputies he did nothing
wrong, did not have a gun, and was inside his apartment playing “GTA”. He denied even holding
something in his hands that could have been misconstrued as a firearm. The victim was contacted a
short distance away from the apartments. He explained he and a neighbor were sitting outside their
apartments talking when another
neighbor (the suspect) came out and
started calling the victim a snitch and
yelling at him. He said the male suspect
was holding a firearm and threatened to
shoot him. The victim stated he feared
for his and his son’s life, who was staying
with him. Another witness said he heard
a commotion outside and observed the
suspect running up the stairs and down
the hallway toward his (the suspect’s)
apartment but did not see him carrying a firearm. However, a few months earlier, he did see the
suspect carrying a gun around the complex. A different witness said he was standing outside when he
heard someone yelling and calling someone a snitch. He observed a male (the suspect) holding what
he believed was an AK-47 style weapon with a “banana clip” inserted in the magazine well. He was
confident it was a real firearm, and when he went back into his apartment and locked the door, he
heard the male chamber a round. The male suspectwas recontacted, advised of his rights, and agreed
to answer questions. He again denied having a firearm in his apartment and gave consent to allow
deputies to search after reading a consent search form and signing it, as did his roommate. As they
walked toward the apartment to begin the search, the suspect said he did have a BB gun in the
apartment and said it was in the back bedroom, under the bed. While searching the living room,
deputies located what appeared to be an AR-15 type pistol under the couch. Before actually touching
Page 9
it, they noted it was all black and had no apparent markings indicating it was not a real firearm, nor
did it have an orange tip on the barrel.Upon physical inspection, the weapon was determined to be a
realistic-looking BB gun and seized as evidence.No additional replica firearms and no actual firearms
were located in the apartment. With the victim having reasonable fear due to the suspect’s threat to
shoot him and that the threat could be carried out, along with witness statements, deputies determined
probable cause existed to charge the suspectwith Felony Harassment; hewas transported and booked
into the Spokane County Jail on that charge.His bond was set at $5,000 by Spokane County Superior
Court Commissioner J. Pelc.; days later, the suspect bonded out of jail.
