AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion consideration to add additional Spokane Valley Police
Department personnel
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Interlocal Agreement with Spokane County and the Spokane
County Sheriff’s Office for Law Enforcement Services (No. 17-104.06) (“Interlocal Agreement”).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Interlocal Agreement for Law Enforcement Services as
provided by the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office (“Sheriff”) to the City of Spokane Valley, contract
number 17-104, adopted by Council on July 25, 2017, amended multiple times and renewed on
November 22, 2022; Administrative Report from Matrix on April 18, 2023. Staff presented the
Police Calls for Service and Staffing Evaluation completed by Matrix on November 6, 2023. Staff
presented an update on implementation of the Matrix recommendations on January 30, 2024.
Spokane Valley Police Chief Ellis provided an administrative report on the Spokane County
Sheriff’s Office new recruitment and retention plan on February 6, 2024. On February 13, 2024,
City Council ranked public safety as its top priority for 2024.
BACKGROUND:
The City has proactively managed law enforcement services since incorporation through ongoing
contracted law enforcement services with the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office. Pursuant to the
Interlocal Agreement renewed in 2022, the parties have agreed to 91 dedicated Spokane Valley
officers and 37 commissioned officers that are shared between Spokane Valley and Spokane
County. In 2023, the Sheriff’s Office added two additional shared positions – one for RIG 9
Investigative Unit tied to the Real Time Crime Center and one for an administrative undersheriff
position (originally an undersheriff that went to a civilian position and this year returned to an
undersheriff position). A third shared position for a lieutenant in the Office of Professional
Standards was added in the late fall of 2023. This position was also recommended in the Matrix
Report. There are six patrol districts in Spokane Valley and Spokane Valley Police are required
to provide a minimum of one patrol officer per district on duty at all times.
In ensuring that the services provided meet the community’s law enforcement needs, the City has
periodically reviewed law enforcement services and made adjustments to meet changing
conditions or needs. Some key modifications include:
• Evaluation of the cost of services completed by ICMA in 2009
• Adding a precinct commander in 2010
• Adding two deputies, eliminating patrol corporals, creating the Powershift to align
resources with peak call hours, and creating a dedicated Spokane Valley Investigative
Unit focused on property and drug crimes in 2014
• Shifting three K9 deputies permanently to patrol as part of the Powershift in 2018
• Adding a dedicated homeless services deputy and behavioral health deputy in 2021
(note that though dedicated, the behavioral health deputy is currently grant funded; a
second behavioral health deputy was added through the grant and is dedicated to
Spokane Valley)
1 | Page
Calls for service remained relatively stable in the City’s early years from 2004 through 2011.
However, as the City has continued to grow, we have seen calls for service increase significantly
year-over-year. Since 2011, calls for service have increased 63%. In the five-year period from
2017 to 2022, citizen calls for police service (excluding Crime Check calls) increased from 43,873
to 51,193, an increase of 17%. In response, the City made the modifications identified above.
Despite these efforts, response times have increased and the number of officer-initiated calls
have decreased, meaning there is less time for officers to conduct proactive policing. As a result,
in late 2022, the City hired Matrix Consulting Group Ltd. (“Matrix”) to complete a review of the
Spokane Valley Police Department, the calls for service, responses to calls for service, caseload
for investigative units, and operational delivery. Based upon that review, Matrix completed its
evaluation of the staffing needs and presented its final report (the “Matrix Report”) to Council on
November 6, 2023.
Relevant to the discussion tonight, Matrix made the following staffing recommendations:
Recommended increases:
• 25 additional dedicated commissioned officers
• 3 shared dedicated commissioned officers
• 2 civilian positions
• Note: through this process, staff identified significant challenges obtaining consistent,
timely data, and so recommend an additional civilian contract analyst.
On January 30, 2024, staff presented an extensive update on implementation of the
recommendations in the Matrix report. As part of that discussion, staff identified estimated costs
for full implementation of approximately $6.2 million and possible funding options for the full
implementation, which included a public safety sales tax, levy lid lift, and utility taxes. Chief Ellis
identified that due to practical and logistical reasons, the Sheriff’s Office could likely only hire
approximately 10 officers in the first year, so full implementation would likely take multiple years
to complete. The complete Request for Council Action (RCA) and materials are available on the
City Council Agenda website for review.
Given the timing issues, City Council gave direction to staff and the Public Safety Committee to
identify options and a recommendation on hiring an initial ten dedicated officers beginning as
soon as possible. The funding options and Public Safety Committee recommendation is provided
below:
Initial Phase Costs. Based on the direction from City Council, staff have identified costs for ten
dedicated commissioned officers as part of the initial implementation. Staff have also added costs
for one shared lieutenant in the Office of Professional Standards that was already implemented
and hired by the Sheriff in the fall of 2023, and a civilian contract analyst position. The additional
shared lieutenant was recommended by Matrix and has been included in the initial cost estimate
because it has not been incorporated into the 2024 budget yet. The contract analyst position is
a civilian position and was included to allow the City to collect, track, and analyze the services
being provided to assist the City through the full implementation process.
The cost estimate assumes half of the ten dedicated officers will be new hires and half will be
lateral hires. Further, the cost estimate includes ongoing costs such as benefits, maintenance
and operations, fuel, and indirect costs that are included as part of the city’s contractual costs.
Finally, staff have provided initial one-time costs for workstations and vehicles for the ten
dedicated officers. The total estimated recurring costs for all of the initial positions is $2.125
million. The total one-time costs are estimated at $624,000. Note that while vehicle purchases
are considered “one-time” for purposes of this item, the City will need to replace the vehicles at a
later date as part of its regular vehicle replacement process.
2 | Page
A worksheet showing all of the cost estimates for the initial phase of implementation is attached
to this RCA.
FundingOptions. The City currently has budgeted $35,251,248 for public safety expenditures
in 2024, with $29,627,047 budgeted for Law Enforcement. To pay for these costs, the City
receives revenues from a number of sources. These include sales tax, property tax, the city’s
portion of the County’s 0.1% criminal justice sales tax, state-shared criminal justice sales tax,
gambling tax, fines and forfeitures, state cannabis excise tax, and grant proceeds. The primary
sources for funding public safety are sales tax and property tax, which account for approximately
80%of the funding towards public safety. The amounts currently budgeted for Law Enforcement
for 2024 do not include any additional officers outside of the current number identified in the
Interlocal Agreement. Of note, the City does have available ending fund balance that could be
used for a one-time expenditure in 2024 to cover initial payments for officers hired in 2024 and
remaining one-time revenues available due to the funds received as part of the American Rescue
Plan Act ($1,000,000 that was initially identified for mental health, but which Council has recently
indicated as desired for law enforcement purposes). However, each of those sources are one-
time funding sources and cannot be utilized to fund the necessary recurring costs of additional
officers year-over-year. Staff do not believe that using one-time funding for a known recurring
cost is a viable financial management tool.
There are several options for providing recurring funding for the initial phase of implementation.
For purposes of the initial phase of implementation, staff did not look at sources requiring voter
approval due to the timing associated with submitting a ballot measure to the voters for approval.
Thus, all options allow funding without voter approval and can be implemented immediately. The
identified options include: (1) prioritizing public safety within existing resources; (2) using banked
property tax capacity; (3) imposing utility tax(es); and (4) imposing a Transportation Benefit
District (TBD) sales tax that would allow use of offset general funds towards public safety.
Option 1. Prioritize public safety within existing resources. At its strategic planning
workshop on February 13, 2024, City Council identified public safety and police as its top priority.
Further, City Council identified transportation maintenance as a higher priority than improving
transportation infrastructure. With this in mind, staff have developed a high-level estimated 2025
budget that provides sufficient revenue for the estimated costs of the initial phase implementation.
To accomplish this, staff maximized using dedicated sources where appropriate, especially within
the Street Fund, to allow using general funds towards new officer positions. This included a heavy
reliance on using the newly imposed TBD license fees, estimated at $2.8 million for 2025, and
repurposing the approximately $1.7 million streetwear fee (received under the solid waste
collection contract) from local street preservation to ongoing street maintenance activities. With
these changes, the street fund recurring expenditures are only approximately $208,000 higher
than estimated street fund revenues. Staff are working on identifying efficiencies within the street
maintenance activities and believe the difference can be covered through this review and
prioritization process.
The reprioritization of revenues in the Street Fund would eliminate the need for the General Fund
to subsidize street maintenance activities which frees up revenues in the General Fund for public
safety purposes and allows the City to cover the recurring costs of the initial phase of
implementation in 2025. To cover the one-time costs for vehicle and workstation costs, staff have
identified using the $1 million available from ARPA. This would be transferred into a newly created
Public Safety Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund #503 for vehicle purchases for the initial
new officers and future additional officers. In the future, all money budgeted for any police vehicle
acquisition would be included in Fund #503 to allow for timely acquisition of police vehicles. Also,
a replacement schedule has been developed in order to accumulate funds for the eventual
replacement of any vehicles purchased beginning in 2023. This will operate similarly to the City’s
current Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund #501 for the City’s fleet of vehicles.
3 | Page
However, there are few qualifications to this option.
This option assumes an almost flat sales tax based on the overall increase in 2023; however,
the City’s general sales taxes actually declined in the last two months of 2023. This analysis
would need to be revised if sales taxes continue to decline into 2024.
The estimate does not include increases in expenditures within street maintenance activities.
Thus, any contractually required cost increases for street maintenance services will have to
be offset by reductions in levels of service.
This budget only works if all other departments are held to a maximum of a 3% increase,
including any staffing cost increases. For budgeting purposes, staffing costs are assumed to
increase an average of 4% for salaries and wages and 5% to 10% for benefits, meaning that
this option would likely require reductions in service levels elsewhere within the City to meet
the budgetary constraints.
This option eliminates dedicated annually recurring funding to the local street program and
may likely increase the backlog of work in this program. City Council may still provide funding
to the local street program as surplus funds are available depending on fluctuations in our
economy.
This option is dependent on the collection of the TBD vehicle license fees. If the vehicle
license fees are discontinued, this option is not available. Also, because TBD vehicle license
fees are set at a static amount ($20 per vehicle), they will not increase with inflation and so
additional adjustments may need to be made in future years to either cut expenditures or add
revenue sources in the Street Fund to maintain a balanced budget and maintain street
maintenance services.
This option provides sufficient revenues to cover the estimated $2.125 million in recurring
costs and $624,000 for the initial implementation phase. General Fund recurring revenues
exceed recurring expenditures by about $674,000 in 2025 under this option, which is a much
smaller margin in recurring activity than the City’s budget has seen in recent history.
General Fund ending fund balance under this option is about $41.3 million which is 65.7% of
estimated recurring expenditures. This estimate will change as we further develop the draft
2025 budget, but will be held above the minimum level of 50% of estimated recurring
expenditures.
This option provides recurring funds for 2025 and beyond. Under this option, any costs
incurred in 2024 would be paid from an anticipated credit from the Detention Services 2023
settle-and-adjust reconciliation (anticipated to be received in the first quarter of 2024) or from
available ending fund balance.
Importantly, this option meets City Council’s identified prioritization of public safety and aligns with
the relative prioritization of street maintenance over infrastructure improvements. It also provides
for recurring funding for both public safety and ongoing street maintenance while allowing City
Council to fund one-time local street projects as surplus money is available in stable economic
periods.
Option 2: Use existing banked property tax capacity. The City’s current levy is
$13,824,900, which results in a levy rate of approximately $0.79/$1,000 of assessed value. The
City may utilize its banked property tax capacity, which is the amount the City could have levied
had it taken statutorily authorized increases. The banked capacity for 2024 is $1,197,507. The
banked capacity can be accessed by the City through the annual property tax levy ordinance
adopted by the Council. Accessing the banked capacity does not mean we can go back in time
and collect the property taxes we’ve left behind. It simply means we can reset the base upon
which the calculation is made in future years. This means that if the Council desired to use banked
capacity, it could legislatively raise the levy by $1,197,507 for collection in 2025 and beyond. Note
that the City may only take the banked capacity up to a level where the levy rate per $1,000 of
4 | Page
assessed value does not exceed $1.60. Electing to use banked capacity would increase the levy
rate to approximately $0.86/$1,000, which is well below the statutory limit. A worksheet showing
the banked capacity calculation is attached to this RCA.
For comparison purposes, Spokane Valley Fire Department’s operational levy results in a levy
rate of $1.50/$1,000. The Fire Department also has an additional voted levy of $0.72/$1,000,
resulting in a total levy rate of $2.22/$1,000.
Option 3: Imposing utility tax(es). Pursuant to state law, the City may impose excise
taxes on certain utilities. These include electricity, gas, steam, telephone, sewer/stormwater, solid
waste, water, and cable television. Utility taxes for electricity, gas, steam, and telephone are
limited to 6% without voter approval. There are no statutory limits on other utility taxes. Estimated
utility tax revenues for utility taxes imposed councilmanically range from approximately $100,000
(1% on solid waste disposal only) to approximately $8.4 million (6% on electric, natural gas,
sewer, and solid waste disposal services). A worksheet showing available utility taxes is attached
to this RCA.
Option 4: Imposing a Transportation Benefit District sales tax that would allow use
of offset general funds towards public safety. Similar to the TBD vehicle license fees, the City
Council may councilmanically impose a TBD sales tax of up to 0.1%. This is estimated to result
in approximately $3.8 million available for transportation purposes. Using this transportation-
dedicated revenue source could allow an offset of general funds to be put towards public safety
while also continuing the local street preservation program.
Public Safety Committee Recommendation. The Public Safety Committee, consisting of
Deputy Mayor Hattenburg, Councilmember Padden, and Councilmember Wick, met on February
20, 2024, to review the various options. The Public Safety Committee unanimously
recommended that the City Council take action to implement the initial phase of adding additional
Police personnel and that City Council use the first option to prioritize public safety within existing
resources to fund the initial implementation. Public Safety Committee members will be available
to speak to the discussion and their recommendation at the City Council meeting.
Implementation. Pursuant to Section 5.1.1 of the Interlocal Agreement, the “City may unilaterally
adjust the number of Dedicated City Officers...only after meaningful prior consultation between
the Sheriff and the City. Written notice of such an adjustment shall be provided by the City to
County and Sheriff.” The City has had discussions with Sheriff Nowels and Chief Ellis about the
desired initial phase of implementation. Thus, the City Council may take action at tonight’s
meeting to unilaterally adjust the number of dedicated officers provided under the agreement to
implement the initial phase of adding additional police personnel.
If Council approves such action, staff will prepare required notification to the County to allow the
Sheriff’s Office to immediately begin hiring the additional personnel.
OPTIONS: Approve adjusting the number of dedicated police personnel to add ten additional
dedicated new positions, account for the new shared Lieutenant in the Office of Professional
Standards hired in 2023 and authorize the contract analyst position by prioritizing public safety
within existing resources as described in option 1; or take such other action as deemed
appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move to approve adjusting the number of dedicated
police personnel to add ten additional dedicated new positions, account for the new shared
Lieutenant in the Office of Professional Standards hired in 2023, and authorize the contract
analyst position by prioritizing public safety within existing resources as described in option 1, and
5 | Page
to authorize the city manager to take such action as necessary to implement this action pursuant
to the Interlocal Agreement with Spokane County and the Sheriff’s Office.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Staff currently estimate that implementation of the initial phase
for ten dedicated officers, one shared lieutenant in the Office of Professional Standards, and a
contract analyst would cost approximately $2.125 million annually, with an additional $624,000
required for one-time vehicle and equipment costs. Recurring costs for this phase may be
covered in 2025 and beyond through prioritization of public safety as described in option 1 above,
or such other new revenue source as may be identified by City Council. Costs incurred in 2024
would be covered from anticipated credit under the Detention Services 2023 settle-and-adjust
reconciliation, or from available ending fund balance. Costs for full implementation of the Matrix
recommendations will continue to be refined and discussed at future Council meetings.

Council workshop.
The City contracts for law enforcement services which are provided by the Spokane County Sheriff’s
Office. While the city’s population has increased steadily since its incorporation 20 years ago, police
staffing levels have not kept pace with this growth.
The City of Spokane Valley contracted with Matrix Consulting Group Ltd. (“Matrix”) to conduct an
extensive review in 2023 of the Spokane Valley Police Department, including calls for service,
responses to calls for service, caseload for investigative units and operational delivery.
Matrix presented its evaluation of the staffing needs in a final report at the City Council meeting Nov.
6, 2023. The report includes a set of recommendations for additional staffing and operational changes
to meet the current demands placed on police in Spokane Valley.
The City Council is now evaluating Spokane Valley Police Department's optimal staffing-level needs
and identifying ongoing funding sources. The Council is seeking community input to inform their
decision-making.

Communication and Community Involvement Goals
This Communication and Community Involvement Plan will inform strategies and actions toward
realizing the following goals.
Goal 1: All community members are aware of the project and the opportunities to get involved,
share their thoughts and inform city decision-making.
Strategy: Implement the Communications and Community Involvement Plan, sharing
information about the project and community input opportunities early and often across a
diverse range of communication channels.
Strategy: Explore translation opportunities and identify cultural, religious and other community
groups to successfully engage all members of our community.
Goal 2: The City Council is provided with comprehensive community feedback that supports
informed decision-making.
Strategy: Provide a range of opportunities for community members to give feedback and
advise project decisions, such as community meetings and open houses, paper and online
surveys, social media comments, etc.
Goal 3: Community members understand the need and have given their input on police
staffing and potential funding sources.
Strategy: Share informative, concise and clear messaging with the community that explains
the needs and cost/benefit options.
Strategy: Provide a range of opportunities for the community to learn more about the project
and provide input when and how it works best for them.
Goal 4: The growing City of Spokane Valley continues to be a safe community through right-
sized policing.
Strategy: Successfully execute the strategies outlined in this plan so that community
members understand the need and fund at the level that works for the majority.

Key Messages
Background/General
1. The City of Spokane Valley contracts through an interlocal agreement for law enforcement
services provided by the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office. The current contract includes 91
dedicated officers and 37 officers shared with the Sheriff’s Office.
2. The current five-year contract is for 2023-2027. The estimated police budget for 2024 is $29.6
million, which is approximately 52% of the city’s recurring general fund budget.
3. The city’s population has increased steadily since its incorporation 20 years ago, including
growing by 22% in the past 15 years. The City and Police Department have been innovative in
utilizing and maximizing the staffing resources available, but police staffing levels are no
longer keeping pace with the city’s growth.
4. Calls for service have increased by 17% since 2017, and the types of calls have changed over
time, which has affected the demand for police resources and impacted response times. The
mental health crisis has changed public safety demand and response. Mental/behavioral
health calls for service have increased and these types of calls take significant time.
5. Recent changes implemented by the State of Washington regarding drugs and police pursuit
have impacted policing. These changes require more police resources and impact the
recruitment of new police officers in Washington state.
6. With current staffing levels, not all workable cases can be fully investigated. It is the goal of
the City and SVPD to investigate all workable cases.
7. Crime and calls for service are two different things. There has been a significant increase in
community caretaking functions that drive call volume. Many of these calls do not get tracked
via crime data, but if left unanswered, can materialize into crime data.
8. Spokane Valley values and prioritizes being and remaining a safe community.
Evaluation
9. The City hired Matrix Consulting Group Ltd. to evaluate Spokane Valley’s Police Department.
Matrix has extensive experience with similar studies throughout the United States including
working with both the City of Spokane and the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office.
10. Matrix conducted an extensive review of the Spokane Valley Police Department, including the
calls for service, responses to calls for service, caseload for investigative units and operational
delivery.
11. Matrix presented its evaluation of the staffing needs in a final report at the City Council
meeting on Nov. 6, 2023. The report includes a set of data-driven recommendations for
additional staffing and operational changes to meet the current demands placed on police in
Spokane Valley, including hiring an additional 25 new dedicated police positions, three
positions shared with the County, and two civilian positions.
12. In addition to police staffing, due to the size of the current Spokane Valley Police Precinct and
capacity constraints, it is anticipated that a new police facility will be required in the long term
to house a larger organization. This will be addressed in the future as part of a secondary
effort.
5
Moving forward
13. The Spokane Valley City Council created a new Public Safety Committee to analyze and
evaluate the project, hear from the community and advise the City Council. Deputy Mayor
Hattenburg and Councilmembers Padden and Wick are serving on this committee. The Public
Safety Committee has already developed and made a recommendation to the City Council to
hire an initial ten new officers using existing resources by prioritizing public safety within the
city’s budget.
14. An ongoing funding source for increased police services will need to be identified to fund
additional staffing in future years. The City Council seeks the community’s input on the type of
funding source and the level of investment that residents are willing to pay.
15. The process to recruit, hire and train police officers takes significant time. From the time of hire
to actively serving is about three to four months for a lateral (experienced) officer and about a
year for an entry level (new) officer.
Equitable Access and Involvement
All Spokane Valley community members should have access to the project information and an
opportunity to provide feedback and inform city decision-making. This project will disseminate
information via a variety of communication channels, coordinate with multiple community groups, and
collect demographic data to ensure we are reaching all segments of the community.
Monitor, Evaluate and Adapt
City communications staff will regularly evaluate how the project’s communication methods are
performing, review questions received from the community, and adapt the plan as appropriate. This
work will be measured through:
1. Number of responses to print and online surveys.
2. Number of participants at community meetings.
3. Rate of which responses and participation are representative of the community demographics.

information admin. report pending legislation executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report: Fiscal Year 2025 Congressionally Directed
Spending Requests (Earmarks)
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
December 12, 2023 – City Council approved its 2024 federal legislative agenda.
February 21, 2023 – City Council authorized the City Manager to submit the City’s
priority project list to federal delegation for 2024 budgeting.
December 20, 2022 – City Council approved its 2023 federal legislative agenda.
March 29, 2022 – City Council authorized the City Manager to submit the City’s priority
project list to federal delegation for 2023 budgeting.
February 23, 2021 – City Council authorized the City Manager to submit the City’s
priority project list to federal delegation for 2022 budgeting.
BACKGROUND: Starting in 2021, Congress implemented its Congressionally Directed
Spending (CDS) request process to federally fund community projects as part of the upcoming
year’s budget. Commonly, CDS funded projects are called “earmarks.”
In 2021, the South Barker Road Corridor received $3 million with Senator Murray’s sponsorship.
In 2022, the Sullivan and Trent Interchange Project received $2.65 million (sponsored by
Senator Cantwell and Representative McMorris Rodgers) and the Pines Road/BNSF Grade
Separation project received $5 million (sponsored by Senator Murray). The 2023 application
awards have not yet been announced by Congress; however, the draft funding list includes $3
million for the Sullivan and Trent Interchange project (sponsored by Representative McMorris
Rodgers).
As of February 2024, Congress has not finalized the 2025 budgeting process and official CDS
opportunities have not been approved by Congress. However, Senator Cantwell’s FY25
application request was announced in early February and is due March 18. Staff anticipate
remaining applications will be made available by Senator Murray’s and Representative
McMorris Rodgers’s offices in the coming weeks.
Historically, CDS funds have required a 13.5% non-federal match. Staff anticipates this year
will be like the last two years and propose submitting CDS funding requests for each of the
City’s 2024 federal agenda projects identified in Table 1. Requested funding amounts were
previously identified with the adopted agenda on December 12, 2023.

OPTIONS: Discussion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff requests Council consensus to develop
applications for CDS funding requests for all four projects as identified by staff in Table 1.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If awarded funds, a 13.5% non-federal match is expected.
Application costs for staff to develop and submit funding requests are included in the city’s
existing budget.

Argonne Road Bridge
Improvements at Interstate 90
Challenge: The existing two-lane Argonne Road Bridge over Interstate 90 (I-90) is the critical bottleneck
moving through Spokane Valley and eastern Spokane County. The bridge is old, undersized, weight-
restricted, has insufficient clearance over I-90 and has no pedestrian or bicycle facilities.
Goal: Seeking$3 million to finalize the design of the bridge replacement over Interstate 90.
Project Context: The Argonne Road Bridge over Interstate 90 is a principal arterial and designated T-1
freight corridor experiencing over 10 million gross tons annually, Washington State Department of
Transportation(WSDOT)highest rating. The project will reconstruct the existing bridge and add a third
lane to improve safety and traffic flow. Anew shared-use path willaddpedestrian andbicycle facilities to

Challenge:Barker Road is bursting at the seams. The corridor is undersized and struggles to provide access
to its bustling commercial and industrial districts that have tripled in size in the past five years.
Goal:Seeking $3million to deliverkey projects necessary to accommodate rapid growth and commerce.
Project Context:The Barker Road corridor is a key arterial that parallels the eastern boundary of Spokane
Valley and intersects with I-90, connecting people and goods to over 800 acres of industrial property and 220
acres of homes. The area is experiencing rapid industrial growth north of the interstate and expanding residential
neighborhoods south of the interstate, particularly in Spokane County and east in the City of Liberty Lake. The
congestion creates unwarranted safety hazardsanddelays, slows the overall economic growth and dampens
the prosperity of our region.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report: Ordinance 24-003 Ziply Fiber Pacific, LLC Franchise.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.47.040; RCW 35A.11.020; and chapter 35.99 RCW.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approval of Noel Communications, Inc., n/k/a Wholesail
Network, LLC Franchise Ordinance 14-009 on August 12, 2014. Ziply Fiber Pacific, LLC is an affiliate
of Wholesail Network, LLC.
BACKGROUND: At its most basic level, a franchise is a nonexclusive contract between a city and
utility provider that governs the utility provider’s use of the public rights-of-way. More specifically, the
franchise sets limits on the utility provider so that their use of the rights-of-way does not interfere with
public transportation and other primary purposes. For instance, the City’s franchises generally require
franchisees to bear the costs to relocate their facilities to accommodate a transportation project, and
require franchisees to adhere to the City’s street cut and excavation policies.
In 2014, Council approved a franchise with Noel Communications, Inc. n/k/a Wholesail Network LLC
(“Wholesail”). Wholesail is a wholly owned subsidiary of Northwest Fiber, LLC d/b/a Ziply Fiber. Ziply
Fiber Pacific, LLC (“Zipley”) is an affiliate of Wholesail. Ziply is requesting a franchise for installation
and maintenance of fiber optics telecommunications facilities within the boundaries of the City of
Spokane Valley. Ziply has requested the same or similar terms as Wholesail. Wholesail’s updated
franchise will be coming forward on a future agenda. There are three minor substantive differences in this
draft from Ordinance 14-009, as follows:
1) Section 4: The City requires access to four dark fiber strands (2 pairs) from the Grantee for the
exclusive use of the City. The reoccurring monthly charge of $20.00 per fiber pair per mile (the “City
Fiber Rate”) previously paid to the Grantee will increase to $34.00 per fiber pair per mile. The City
does not utilize any City Reserved Fibers with Ziply;
2) Section 20: This is what the City now requires of all Grantees. In short, a Grantee cannot abandon
its’ facilities in the ROW, thus transferring the cost of removal from the Grantee to the City and its’
taxpayers. There are options for delayed removal, but the cost of removal must ultimately be borne
by the Grantee; and
3) Section 28: The minimum level of insurance is being raised from $1 million per occurrence and $2
million aggregate, to $2 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate. This reflects what the
City’s liability provider requests that the City requires and is what the City now requires of all
franchisees and nearly every contractor/consultant.
There are other minor changes from previous franchises to this proposed franchise that relate mostly to
the title of the “Community and Public Works Director” and the updating of definitions used in Section 1.
Ziply Fiber Pacific, LLC has reviewed this draft and is in agreement with its terms for a new 10-year
franchise. Staff recommends approval of the proposed franchise.
OPTIONS: (1) Move to advance Ordinance 24-003 to a first ordinance reading; or (2) take other action
deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to advance Ordinance 24-003 to a first ordinance
reading.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None anticipated.

defense of the action, including all reasonable expert witness fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, the
reasonable costs of the City, and reasonable attorneys’ fees of recovering under this subsection.

Grantee. The City may elect, in lieu of the above and without any prejudice to any of its other legal

Section 32. Assignment. This franchise may not be assigned or transferred without the written

Memorandum
To: John Hohman, City Manager
From: Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
Date: February 12, 2024
Re: Finance Department Activity Report Î November 2023
Following is information pertaining to Finance Department activities through the end of November
2023 and included herein is an updated 2023 Budget to Actual Comparison of Revenues and
Expenditures through the end of November.
2022 Year-end Process
The 2022 books were closed in April and the annual financial report was completed and filed in
May. The State AuditorÓs Office issued an unmodified opinion on the audit of the financial
statements for the fiscal year 2022 and the Federal single audit on September 22, 2023. We
expect the accountability audit and related exit conference to be completed in January 2024.
2023 Budget Amendment #2
As we have progressed through 2023 the need for a number of budget amendments has arisen.
Council review will take place at the following meetings:
October 10 Admin Report
October 24 Public Hearing
October 24 First reading on proposed ordinance amending the 2023 Budget
November 21 Second reading on proposed ordinance amending the 2023 Budget
2024 Budget Development
The 2024 Budget development process began in the Finance Department in early March, and
st
on March 31 we sent detailed budget requests to all departments to complete by mid-May. By
st
the time the budget is scheduled to be adopted on November 21, the Council will have had an
opportunity to discuss the budget on eight occasions including three public hearings.
June 13 Council budget workshop
August 29 Admin report on 2024 revenues and expenditures
September 12 Public hearing #1 on the 2024 revenues and expenditures
October 3 City ManagerÓs presentation of preliminary 2024 Budget
October 10 Public hearing #2 on 2024 Budget
October 24 First reading on proposed ordinance adopting the 2024 Budget
November 21 Public hearing #3 on the 2024 Budget
November 21 Second reading on proposed ordinance adopting the 2024 Budget
P:\\Finance\\Finance Activity Reports\\Council Monthly Reports\\2023\\2023 11 30.docx Page 1
Lodging Tax
The schedule leading to awarding funds is as follows:
September 1 Letters mailed to agencies that have historically received funding, media
release to City website and notice to newspapers
September 29 Grant applications due at City Hall
October 26 Grant applicant presentations to lodging tax advisory committee
November 14 Admin report to Council on results of lodging tax advisory committee
meeting
December 12 City Council motion consideration: Award lodging tax for 2024
Fee Resolution
As a part of preparing the annual budget, City Departments are asked to review the Master Fee
Schedule that is currently in place and determine whether changes in fees charged and/or
language used in the governing resolution should be altered. This leads to an annual update to
the fee resolution that sets fees for the following year. The calendar leading to the adoption of
the resolution setting 2024 fees is as follows:
December 5 Admin report on proposed changes to the fee resolution
December 19 Council adoption of the fee resolution
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 November 2023 activity
o Cumulative 2023 activity through November 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 97.25% of the amount budgeted with 91.67% of
the year elapsed.
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 $12,782,125 or 94.20% of the amount budgeted.
P:\\Finance\\Finance Activity Reports\\Council Monthly Reports\\2023\\2023 11 30.docx Page 2
Sales tax collections represent only ten months of collections thus far because taxes
collected in November are not remitted to the City by the State until the latter part of
December. Collections are currently at $27,269,988 or 89.25% of the amount budgeted.
Gambling taxes are at $427,930 or 111.73% of the amount budgeted. Gambling taxes are
st
paid quarterly with fourth quarter payments due by January 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 $1,054,812 or 86.82% 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 November weÓve received remittances totaling $1,959,669 or
83.71% 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 November weÓve received remittances through the month of October with
receipts of $425,306 or 82.01% 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 $3,564,885 or
113.32% 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 $860,875 or 137.63% of the amount budgeted.
Recurring expenditures are currently at $47,111,971 or 87.62% of the amount budgeted with
91.67% of the year elapsed.
Investments (page 19)
Investments at November 30 total $111,931,577 and are composed of $106,640,317 in the
Washington State Local Government Investment Pool and $5,291,260 in bank CDs.
Total Sales Tax Receipts (page 20)
Total sales tax receipts reflect State remittances through November and total $30,900,826
including general, criminal justice, and public safety taxes. This figure is $430,931 or 1.41%
greater than the same ten-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.
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 $309,948 or 1.15%.
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.
P:\\Finance\\Finance Activity Reports\\Council Monthly Reports\\2023\\2023 11 30.docx Page 3
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 $6,223 or 0.80%.
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 $1,824,380 or
38.55%.
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, 2023 debt
service payments, the City has $9,085,000 of nonvoted G.O. bonds outstanding which
represents 3.72% of our nonvoted bond capacity, and 0.74% of our total debt capacity for all
types of bonds. Of this amount:
o $3,040,000 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 $0 remains on bonds issued for road and street improvements around CenterPlace. The
bonds were repaid with a portion of the real estate excise tax collected by the City.
o $6,045,000 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 $4,597 or 0.28%.
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 $24,275 or 2.89%. Unlike tax
revenues collected by the State and remitted monthly, these taxes are paid to the City directly
by the service provider. Consequently, there is not a "clean cutoff' in terms of when a vendor
pays the tax.
P:\\Finance\\Finance Activity Reports\\Council Monthly Reports\\2023\\2023 11 30.docx Page 4
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.

PLANNING AND GRANTS
In August, the Washington State Department of Ecology issued a Call for Projects for the Water Quality Combined
Funding Program (WQC) for state fiscal year 2025. The City applied for one design-only project: Montgomery
Stormwater Improvements (Argonne to Mansfield Roundabout). Ecology announced its proposed funding list and it
-only application. The goal is to achieve design
approval from Ecology by September 2026 so that the City can apply for construction funding in October 2026, for a
subsequent request and award to be ready for construction by 2027 or 2028.
National Highway System, Asset Management Program (NHS) Grant
In June 2023, Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Local Programs announced its call for projects
from the National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) via the NHS Asset Management program. City Council
authorized staff to apply on September 12, 2023. The City applied for three projects: Sprague Preservation (Bowdish-
McDonald Rd), N. Sullivan Preservation (River to Kiernan Ave), and S. Sullivan Preservation (8th to 24th Ave.). On January
th
10, WSDOT issued a notice of awards for the S. Sullivan Preservation (8th to 24th Ave.) project in the amount of
$3,957,000, and a second award notice for Sprague Preservation (Bowdish-McDonald Rd) in the amount of $1,347,000.
Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Forestry Assistance Grant
In December 2023, The Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) issues a notice of funding opportunity
for an available $7 million in passthrough funding from the Washington State Legislature and USDA Forest Service to
distribute through the Community Forestry Assistance Grant program. Eligible applicants may request up to $350,000 in
funding. On January 2, City Council authorized staff to apply for a tree inventory and maintenance plan for a requested
amount of $225,000. The grant is a 100% award with zero local match. The resulting tree inventory and maintenance
plan help position the City to meet the
requirements under the upcoming 2024-2029 National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Awards
are anticipated to be announced in spring of 2023.
City Safety Program (CSP) Grant
In October 2023, WSDOT issued a Call for Projects to help mitigate fatal and serious injury crashes through the City
Safety Program (CSP). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds the CSP and administers the program to the

2023 Holidays and Heroes Filled with Happiness, Joy, and Holiday Cheer - This year’s Holidays
and Heroes was a success and a wonderfultime for everyone involved. Cumulatively, Holidays and
Heroes regionally assisted over 130 families in need. Each family received gifts and food boxes,
which included complete holiday meals and non-perishable foods to help them enjoy Christmas and
the holidays. In Spokane County/Spokane Valley, 25 children and their families, selected from local
schools, joined us for this event, plus an additional 7 families in need received food boxes. On
December 2nd, the 25 children were picked up by deputies in a marked patrol car and brought to
Walmart on East Broadway Avenue in Spokane Valley. There, they went on a shopping spree to find
gifts for the family members while a secret helper watched to find a special gift for the child. All the
presents were wrapped as the children enjoyed a holiday snack, a visit with Santa, and a lot of fun with
volunteers and deputies. Judging from the smiles on everyone’s faces, everyone had a great time, and
hopefully, wonderful memories were made of what Christmas and this time of year is all
about. Holidays and Heroes has been a yearly event in Spokane County for over 20 years and even
longer in Kootenai County, Idaho. Spending time with children and families who need a little help to
have a Merry Christmas and a joyful holiday season is always fun and rewarding for all! Holidays
and Heroes continues to be successful in Spokane County due to the hard work and dedication of the
Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Explorers, Deputy Chris Young, Deputy Lorenz Mina, and Detective
Brad Humphrey. Most of all, its success is a credit to you, our community, and businesses who
generously support the program with volunteers and donations. We live in a wonderful, giving, and
caring community, and we greatly appreciate your help and support.
We want to thank these specific businesses/churches/groups for supporting Holidays & Heroes
ensuring the program’s success.

OPERATIONS:
Suspected Impaired Driver Unsuccessfully Attempts to Flee on Foot and in a Vehicle - A
Spokane Valley Deputy attempted to stop a vehicle for driving without lights, an obstructed
license plate, and suspicion of DUI, but instead of making the correct choice, the driver
attempted to flee. After a short pursuit, the driver spun the truck, became stuck in a snowbank,
and fled on foot. Deputies gave chase but lost sight of the suspect as he ran through yards. A
perimeter was established, and a K9 Unit responded to conduct a search, locating the suspect
hiding under a vehicle.The suspect, with a lengthy criminal history and on supervised federal
probation, was booked into jail for several charges. Unfortunately, he posted bond later in the
evening and was released before his probation officer could be notified. He was rearrested two
days later by the U.S. Marshals and booked into jail on a U.S. Marshal Hold. In early December,
at approximately 11:20 pm, Spokane Valley Deputy McKenzie observed a Toyota truck facing east
on Sprague stopped at a red light at Pines. While traveling west on Sprague and stopped at the same
red light, Deputy McKenzie noticed the Toyota’s headlights were off. When the light turned green,
the truck proceeded east, and Deputy McKenzie activated his emergency lights and made a U-turn to
conduct a traffic stop. The 28-year-old male driver of the truck turned into a parking lot on the south
side of Sprague, made a wide turn, and accelerated, spinning the tires in the fresh snow. The truck
spun and was now facing the fully marked patrol car and emergency lights. Instead of stopping, the
suspect put the truck in reverse and backed onto Sprague. The male suspect continued west on Sprague
in the eastbound lanes while clearly having difficulties maintaining control of the vehicle. With
reasonable suspicion the suspect was impaired, Deputy McKenzie pursued while trying to alert other
motorists with his lights and siren. It appeared the male suspect tried to get back to the correct lanes
of travel, but he seemed to notice the raised concrete barrier and swerved back. He continued driving
the wrong way as he entered the intersection of Sprague and Pines, avoiding several vehicles that had
stopped at the intersection. The suspect drove over the raised center divider, damaging his rear
tire. He continued west on Sprague but tried to lose the deputy by turning into a parking lot near
Sprague and Perrine, but again, he lost control and spun. The male suspect turned west back on
Sprague, reaching speeds of approximately 35 mph as he swerved and slid around on the slick
roads. With several deputies arriving in the area to assist, the male suspect turned north on Bowdish
with his left rear tire now completely flat and coming apart. The suspect spun out but continued west
on Valleyway despite deputies’ efforts to end the pursuit. Unable to maintain control of the truck,
now at 15-20 mph, the suspect again lost control and spun, stopping in a snowbank on Valleyway,
west of Skipworth. The male suspect fled on foot, with deputies giving chase while commanding him
Page 5
to stop and that he was under arrest.In the 200 block of N. Skipworth, deputies lost sight of the
suspect as he fled through yards.Deputies established a perimeter, and a K9 Unit arrived to begin a
search. The male suspect was located and contacted by the K9, hiding under a vehicle a short distance
away. He was provided with medical attention and later cleared to be booked into jail. While
searching for the suspect, his passenger was advised of his rights and questioned. He explained he
had just met the male suspect at a bar near Sprague and Pines. It was determined that the passenger
did not commit a crime and was released without being charged. The suspect told deputies that he
was homeless and was sleeping under the car where the K9 found him. He showed several indicators
of alcohol use and impairment and Deputy McKenzie requested and was granted a search warrant to
obtain a blood sample for testing. A check of the suspect’s criminal history showed he was on federal
supervised probation and had an extensive criminal record to included convictions for Rendering
Criminal Assistance, Bail Jumping, Drive-by Shooting, Assault, and DUI. A check of his driver’s
license showed his privileges were suspended, and he was required to have an interlock device in his
vehicle. His truck was checked, and an interlock device was not located. The suspect was transported
and booked into the Spokane County Jail for felony Attempting to Elude Law Enforcement and
misdemeanor charges of DUI, Obstructing, Operating a Vehicle w/o an Interlock Device, and Driving
while Suspended. Spokane County Superior Court Judge B. Beggs set the suspect’s total bail at
$10,000, which he posted and was released after 11:30 pm. before federal probation received
notification. Two days later, U.S. Marshals rearrested the suspect and booked him into the Spokane
County Jail on a U.S. Marshal Hold, where he remains.
Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Regional Air Support Unit Earns Reaccreditation by Airborne
Public Safety Association (APSA) - This August, Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Regional Air
Support Unit (SRASU) underwent an on-site assessment conducted by Law Enforcement
Aviation and Airborne Search and Rescue Assessors with the Airborne Public Safety
Association (APSA). The findings of this assessment earned the Spokane Regional Air Support
Unit Full Law Enforcement Aviation and Airborne Search and Rescue Reaccreditation. The
Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Regional Air Support Unit is one of 18 public safety aviation
units nationally to complete this intense process successfully. The intent of the accreditation
process is to encourage safe, efficient, and accident-free aviation operations in support of law
enforcement missions. APSA developed standards to objectively evaluate and certify an airborne
unit’s overall compliance to help achieve this intent for the safety of the public and the flight crews.
Although this accreditation process is entirely voluntary, it establishes standards and a solid base of
operation, which provides a vital safety structure and measuring device of excellence, quality, safety,
and effective service. On December 5, 2023, the Spokane Regional Air Support Unit received
notification from the Board of Directors of the Airborne Public Safety Association (APSA) and the
Commissioners of the Airborne Public Safety Association Commission (APSAC) of their findings,
awarding Full Reaccreditation with the APSAC Standards for the Operation of Law Enforcement and
Search and Rescue Aircraft. The assessors noted in the executive summary, “The Spokane Regional
Air Support Unit is a mature, sound, and well managed operation. There is a conscious effort by all
personnel, sworn and volunteers, to continuously improve in all areas of the unit’s mission.” The
Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Regional Air Support Unit first received accreditation in 2014, and
it was one of only five air support units in the entire country to have their program fully accredited at
that time. Spokane Valley Police Chief David Ellis and SRASU Director said, “The SRASU provides
Page 6
valuable search and rescue, suspect apprehension, pursuit management, and disaster assessment
services to this community. Being reaccredited allows us to ensure that our Volunteer Civilian Pilots,
Helicopter Rescue Medics, and Tactical Flight Officers areoperating within industry best
practices. The SRASU has a strong commitment to safety, and their track record supports that.”
Congratulations to all the members of the SRASU and their supporting agencies.

Disorderly and Violent Female Arrested After Kicking Deputy, Damaging Patrol Car - A
Spokane Valley Deputy responded to a disorderly female, who was passed out on the sidewalk
near Sprague and Pines. When she was contacted, she kicked the deputy in the torso and then
placed in handcuffs and put in the back of the marked patrol car, where she began kicking the
window partition, damaging the metal frame. She was booked into the Spokane County Jail
rdnd
for felony Assault 3 Degree and Malicious Mischief 2 Degree. She was trespassed from the
business where she initially caused a disturbance. In mid-December, at approximately 6:55 am,
Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of a disorderly female near Denny’s at Pines and
Sprague. The caller stated the female appeared high and was passed out on the sidewalk. Additional
updated information was provided, saying she was now walking around and trying to reenter the
establishment. A deputy arrived and contacted the staff, who explained they wanted the female
trespassed from the location. He also learned the female walked across the street toward Value
Page 7
Village.Deputies responded to the area and located the 34-year-old femaleon the north end of the
parking lot.The female suspectran from the deputy, driving a fully marked patrol car, going south
toward Sprague. With the suspect reported as being high and irrational, and with it still being dark
and raining, deputies wanted to ensure she did not run into traffic on Sprague, posing a danger to her
safety and the unsuspecting motoring public. A deputy positioned his patrol car, with lights and siren
activated, in front of the suspect, but she just ran around the front of the vehicle. The deputy exited
his car, told the female suspect to stop, and grabbed her by the arm. The suspect stopped running and
fell to the ground. When the deputy bent down to place her in handcuffs, she pulled her knee up to
her chest and kicked the deputy with full force in the shoulder/chest area. Deputies placed her in
handcuffs without further incident. The suspectcontinued to scream incoherently, and she appeared
to be under the influence of a controlled substance, so an ambulance was requested to check her
welfare.A check of her name revealed an active misdemeanor warrant for her arrest (Possession of a
Counterfeit Substance in Public). While waiting for medics, it was decided the female suspectwould
be safer and warmer if she were secured in the back of a patrol car since it was in the 30s, it was
raining, and she was not dressed for the weather. After being placed in the backseat, deputies heard
loud banging noises from the patrol car, and the rear passenger door was shaking. Deputies observed
the female suspect kicking the door window area in an apparent attempt to break the window. They
also observed damage to the hard plastic window cover and its frame. The suspectwas removed from
the vehicle, advised of her rights, and agreed to answer questions. She said she went to Denny’s to
borrow the phone, but the employees refused to let her in, which made her angry. When asked why
she kicked the deputy, she apologized for kicking him in the face. She was told she didn’t kick him
in the face but kicked him in the shoulder, and she replied, “I was trying to kick you in the face.” It
was also explained that damaging a patrol car was a crime, and she said if she were placed back in the
patrol car, she would continue to try to cause damage. The female suspect was advised she was under
rd
arrest for assaulting law enforcement (Assault 3Degree), damaging the patrol car (Malicious
nd
Mischief 2Degree), and that she was trespassed from Denny’s. The deputy secured her in his patrol
car and began to transport her to jail; an alarm notified him the suspect’s seatbelt had been
undone. The female suspect was screaming she would beat up the deputy when her handcuffs were
removed, and she called him multiple and profane names. Near Pines and Mission, the deputy stopped
to restrain the suspect to prevent her from kicking and resecured her seatbelt. During the transport to
jail, she continued to scream and yell, calling the deputy names and using profanity. The female
rd
suspect was booked into the Spokane County Jail for Assault 3 Degree (assault on law enforcement),
nd
Malicious Mischief 2Degree (damaging the patrol car), and her misdemeanor warrant. The deputy
was not injured.
Suspected DUI Driver Runs from Deputies Captured and Arrested/Charged with Three
Felonies and Four Misdemeanors -A Spokane Valley Deputy noticed an unlicensed black Audie
run a red light at Sprague and University at a high rate of speed. The driver of the vehicle
initially pulled over but then fled from the deputy, who pursued, believing the driver was
possibly impaired. The deputy terminated the pursuit due to safety concerns for the public, but
fortunately, a short distance away, spike strips were successfully deployed. The vehicle was
Page 8
located, and it later pulled into the driveway of a home.The driver fled on foot, and a perimeter
was established.The driver eventually surrendered and was taken into custody, and he was
booked into jail for several felony and misdemeanor charges. In mid-December, at approximately
10:45 pm, Spokane Valley Deputy Blaakman observed a black Audi traveling south on University
Road approaching Sprague Avenue. The vehicle had no visible license plates and ran the red light at
a high speed as it turned east, drifting partially into the center lane. Due to the noted violation and
believing the driver was possibly impaired, Deputy Blaakman initiated a traffic stop on Raymond
Road, just north of Sprague. The 24-year-old male driver rolled down the driver’s side passenger
window and then rolled it back up before rolling down the driver’s window. As Deputy Blaakman
approached the rear of the Audi, the male suspect quickly rolled the window up and fled, accelerating
rapidly. Deputy Blaakman advised he was pursuing a suspected DUI driver and began providing
location, road, and traffic information over his radio. As he caught up to the suspect, it was clear that
the suspect was attempting to elude apprehension. With the male suspect’s extremely reckless
behavior, high speeds (reaching 80+ mph in some locations), and his complete disregard for his safety
or the safety of others, Deputy Blaakman advised he was self-terminating the pursuit as the suspect
turned south on University from Sprague. Sargeant Wang, monitoring the pursuit, positioned himself
th
at 16 and University and successfully deployed spike stripes. Deputy Wakem located the Audi as it
th
turned east on 35Avenue from University Road, but again, the suspect ignored the fully marked
patrol car with emergency lights and siren activated. With additional deputies converging to assist,
Deputy Wakem pursued the Audi until it turned into a driveway in the 3300 block of S.
Bowdish. Deputy Wakem exited his patrol car and gave commands as the male suspect jumped out
and ran on foot. With two adult passengers in the Audi, Deputy Wakem stayed with the vehicle until
additional deputies arrived to assist, including establishing a perimeter for a K9 search. The male and
female passengers were compliant but appeared extremely excited and distraught. They were safely
detained pending the investigation. With a perimeter established, deputies began searching for the
suspect as PA warnings were given. Deputies learned the male suspect had entered the residence and
was eventually talked into peaceful surrendering by his family members. The two passengers
explained the suspect was giving them a ride home, and when he got pulled over, they told him to stop
when he asked what he should do. When the male suspect fled, he exclaimed, “I can’t go to
jail.” Throughout the pursuit, both passengers told the male suspect to stop and let them out numerous
times, but he ignored their demands. At the conclusion of the investigation, both passengers were
determined to be victims of Unlawful Imprisonment and released. The suspect was advised of his
rights and agreed to answer questions. He stated he panicked, was scared, and made a mistake. After
he ran into the house, he cut off a substantial amount of his hair in an effort to change his
appearance. Later, the male suspect spoke with an attorney and provided a breath sample showing
BAC levels of .115 and .122. A check of his criminal history showed one prior DUI and that his
nd
driver’s privileges were Suspended 2Degree. He was transported and booked into the Spokane
County Jail for felony charges of Attempting to Elude Law Enforcement and two counts of Unlawful
Imprisonment. He was also charged with misdemeanor DUI, Reckless Endangerment (two counts),
nd
and Driving while Suspended 2 Degree. Thankfully, no one from the public, the victims, the suspect,
or the deputies involved were injured during this incident.

Spokane Valley Investigative Unit, Deputies, and Loss Prevention Employees Conduct Retail
Theft Emphasis – In mid-December, Spokane Valley Investigative Unit (SVIU) Detectives,
with Patrol Deputies and Store Loss Prevention Employees assisting, teamed up to address the
area's continuous and prolific retail theft problem. During this emphasis, nine subjects were
detained, resulting in the arrest of five. Two of the five arrested were booked into jail, only to
be administratively released on their own recognizance minutes later. Brief Summary
1) 25-year-old female: Loss Prevention employees advised deputies a female was in the store placing
items in a shopping cart. Additionally, they stated she was recognized for previous thefts, and they
believed she would attempt to steal merchandise again. Loss Prevention continued providing updated
information to the deputies now positioned in the parking lot. During this, the female suspect quickly
pushed the shopping cart toward one of the store’s entry/exit doors. She suddenly grabbed two items
from the cart and ran to the doors, passing all points of sale without paying. As she approached the
doors, which were entry only, they did not open. Unable to flee and with the security tag sensor alarms
blaring, she dropped the merchandise and ran out of the store through a different exit. She was quickly
rd
arrested by deputies and booked into the Spokane County Jail for Theft 3Degree and almost
immediately administratively released on her own recognizance.
2) 42-year-old female and 60-year-old male: Loss Prevention employees advised a female was
observed in the store, concealing items. SVIU Detectives contacted her and an accompanying male
as they exited the store. Additional SVIU Detectives contacted an adult male and another female
waiting in an associated vehicle. The investigation established probable cause to charge the female
suspect with misdemeanor Theft 3rd and to charge the male suspect with misdemeanor Possession of
a Dangerous Weapon (brass knuckles). With the history of immediate release for charges like these,
and in the interest of the ongoing emphasis, both were issued criminal citations for their charges and
released. The two additional subjects contacted were not charged due to a lack of evidence showing
they had knowledge or were involved in criminal activity.
3) 38-year-old male: A Loss Prevention employee advised SVIU Detectives a male, wearing
distinctive clothing (chartreuse bibs and striped jacket), stole items from the store the prior day. They
also provided a photo of the theft suspect. During the emphasis, the male was observed in the area
wearing what appeared to be the same clothes. SVIU Detectives contacted the suspect, who had valid
rd
misdemeanor warrants for his arrest (Theft 3Degree and Obstructing Law Enforcement), with a total
bond on these charges set at $2,000. He was booked into jail for his warrants and almost immediately
administratively released on his own recognizance. An additional charge of Theft 3rd for the prior
incident will be requested.
4) Identified Male but not charged: Loss Prevention employees advised a male was observed inside
the store, concealing items. The male noticed store staff was watching him, and he dumped the items
and left the store, where SVIU Detectives contacted him. He was identified and trespassed from the
store at their request. He was not charged for this incident because he dropped the merchandise before
he left the store.
Page 10
5) Identified Male:Loss Prevention employees advised a male was observed inside the store and
was believed to be concealing items. The male stopped, paid for some items, and left the store where
deputies and SVIU Detectives contacted him.Through the investigation, probable cause to charge the
male with theft could not be established. However, he was issued a criminal citation for Driving while
rd
Degree and released.

The Spokane Valley Police Department will continue to conduct retail emphasis patrols to
address theft and other criminal activity throughout Spokane Valley. Shoplifters who decide to
commit theft or other crimes, this is yourwarning.
We encourage residents who have operational surveillance cameras outside their home to go to the
Sheriff’s website and register their home and video cameras. Thank you.
