AGENDA ITEM TITLE:Public Hearing on the proposed 2025 BudgetAmendment.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: In order for the City to amend an adopted budget, State law
requires the Council to approve an ordinance that appropriates additional funds.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council last took formal action on the 2025 Budget
when it was adopted on November 19, 2024. On April 29, 2025, an Administrative Report was
delivered to Council regarding the need for a budget amendment.
BACKGROUND: Since the initial adoption of the 2025 Budget on November 19, 2024, a number
of events have transpired in the normal course of operations that necessitate a 2025 Budget
amendment. Leading up to the Public Hearing, the public notice was advertised in The Herald
and The Exchange for two consecutive weeks in May.
There were a few changes to the budget amendment items since the administrative report on
April 29, 2025. These changes include adding grant funds and additional costs for outreach
services in the Homeless and Housing Division, adding donation revenues and sculpture
placement costs for Balfour Park, and moving the CHIP grant associated revenues and
expenditures to Fund #108. These changes added revenues of $257,486 and expenditures of
$48,000 to the proposed budget amendment. Changes are indicated in blue font throughout the
report.
The proposed budget amendments include:
#001 - General Fund
Revenues reflect an increase of $926,686, including:
$187,000 in increased Right of Way Permit fees that were approved by Council through the
passage of the Fee Resolution on April 15, 2025. Increased fees will offset the cost of hiring
th
an additional Right of Way Inspector position as was approved by Council on April 15
as
well.
$482,200 related to various energy efficiency and clean building grants received by the City
in 2025. Council approved the grant applications late in 2024.
$30,000 received by the City as a donation for the purchase of a sculpture for Balfour Park.
Provide additional appropriations (expenditures) of $989,764 comprised of:
$350,000 increase in contract attorney services in the City Council Department to cover
current estimated legal costs associated with Councilmember Merkel.
$223,200 decrease in salaries, payroll taxes and benefits in the Public Safety Department to
help offset legal costs related to Councilmember Merkel in the City Council Department.
$130,000 decrease in law enforcement vehicle replacements in the Public Safety Department
to help offset legal costs related to Councilmember Merkel in the City Council Department.
This represents a reduction of two vehicles being purchased as replacements for current aging
patrol vehicles.
1
$158,064 increase in the Engineering Department related to hiring an additional Right of Way
Inspector position that was approved by Council at the April 15, 2025 Council meeting. This
cost increase is offset by increased Right of Way Permit fees as discussed above.
$18,000 increase in the Homeless and Housing Services Division related to the outreach
services contract. This contract is being paid through a grant from Spokane County (see the
note about the revenues of $227,486 above).
$482,200 increase in costs for work related to the energy efficiency and clean building grants
received by the City.
$304,700 increase in capital software costs related to the replacement of the City’s financial
management software. The 2022 Budget originally included $1,000,000 for this purpose.
However, the timing of the project is spread over various years into 2025. This amendment
spreads the $1,000,000 budgeted forward into the appropriate period.
$30,000 increase in costs related to the sculpture donated by a citizen. See offsetting
revenues discussed above.
#101 – Street O&M Fund
Revenues reflect a decrease of $985,000 in transfers in from the Transportation Benefit District
Fund #111 due to updated estimated vehicle license fees in 2025. Actual revenues were much
lower than previously estimated due to an error in the Department Licensing systems that
provided inaccurate vehicle counts for the City.
Expenditures have a net change of $0, due to a $25,000 decrease to bridge repair and
maintenance services and a corresponding $25,000 increase in transfers out to the Street Capital
Projects Fund #303 related to the Thorpe Bridge Project.
#104 – Hotel/Motel Tax – Tourism Facilities Fund
Increase in revenues of $500,000 for transfers in from the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund #105. This

for the 2025 awards.
Increase in expenditures of $2,500,000 in transfers out to the Economic Development Capital
Projects Fund #316 for the Cross Country Course project. This was approved by Council motion
on January 7, 2025.
#105 – Hotel / Motel Tax Fund
Net decrease of $0 in expenditures comprised of an increase in transfers out to the Hotel / Motel
Tax – Tourism Facilities Fund #104 of $500,000 and a decrease of $500,000 in tourism promotion
costs as was approved during the lodging tax process at the January 7, 2025 Council meeting.
#106 – Solid Waste Fund
Revenues and expenditures increase by $158,600 for the Local Solid Waste Financial Assistance
(LSWFA) grant received by the City and the related program costs. Council approved applying
for the grant at the February 11, 2025 Council meeting.
#108 – Affordable & Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund
Revenues and expenditures increase $1,000,000 related to the Connection Housing to
Infrastructure Program (CHIP) grant received by the City. Council approved the grant application
in late 2024, and the City has an agreement with the Spokane Housing Authority to passthrough
the grant funds to them for their Appleway Development Project.
#109 – Tourism Promotion Area Fund
Expenditures increase by $475,000 to adjust for available budget based on actual 2024 revenues
and expenditures.
2
#111 – Transportation Benefit District Fund

street maintenance expenditures. See comments under Fund #101 above regarding the reason
for the decrease.

Expenditures increase by $505,000 in transfers out to the Street Capital Projects Fund #303 for
the Thorpe Bridge Project.
#303 – Street Capital Projects Fund

provided by a transfer in of $25,000 from the Street Fund #101 and of $505,000 from the REET
2 Capital Projects Fund #302.
#309 – Park Capital Projects Fund
Revenues and expenditures increase by $1,790,400 to add the Sullivan Water Line Project.
Funding is provided by a transfer in of $914,900 from the Capital Reserve Fund #312, grant
proceeds of $126,100, and of $749,400 in cost sharing contributions from Kemira. The bid for this
project was approved by Council at the April 22, 2025 Council meeting.
#312 – Capital Reserve Fund
Expenditures are increased by $1,674,500 including $759,600 for the amount still owing for the
purchase of the WSDOT property adjacent to Sullivan Park and $914,900 in transfers out to the
Park Capital Projects Fund #309 for the Sullivan Water Line Project.
#316 – Economic Development Capital Projects Fund
Revenues increase by $2,500,000 for the Cross Country Course Project being funded by a
transfer in from the Hotel/Motel Tax – Tourism Facilities Fund #104 as approved by Council at
the January 7, 2025 Council Meeting.
Expenditures increase by $4,696,520 representing the remaining unexpended budget of the
Cross Country Course Project.
#503 – Public Safety Equipment Replacement Fund
Expenditures increase by $650,000 for the purchase of 10 new vehicles for the new officer
positions that were approved in the 2025 as Phase I of the police staffing implementation.
The 2025 Budget amendment also includes a change to the Employee Position Classification
Monthly Salary Schedule to reflect repurposing of a Grade 14 Facilities Building Inspector position
to a Grade 14 Facilities Manager position.
The 2025 Budget amendment reflects the changes noted above and will affect 14 funds resulting
in total revenue increases of $5,435,686 and expenditure increases of $13,984,784. Of these
increases, $3,459,900 reflect transfers between City Funds.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Request for Council Action
Meeting Date:May 13, 2025 Department Director Approval:
Check all that apply: consent old business new business public hearing
information admin. report pending legislation executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: First reading of proposed Ordinance #25-006 which amends the 2025
Budget.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: In order for the City to amend an adopted budget, State law
requires the Council to approve an ordinance that appropriates additional funds.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council last took formal action on the 2025 Budget
when it was adopted on November 19, 2024. On April 29, 2025, an Administrative Report was
delivered to Council regarding the need for a budget amendment. Finally, earlier this evening a
public hearing was held on this topic.
BACKGROUND: Since the initial adoption of the 2025 Budget on November 19, 2024, a number
of events have transpired in the normal course of operations that necessitate a 2025 Budget
amendment.
The proposed amendments include:
#001 - General Fund
Revenues reflect an increase of $926,686, including:
$187,000 in increased Right of Way Permit fees that were approved by Council through the
passage of the Fee Resolution on April 15, 2025. Increased fees will offset the cost of hiring
th
an additional Right of Way Inspector position as was approved by Council on April 15 as
well.
$482,200 related to various energy efficiency and clean building grants received by the City
in 2025. Council approved the grant applications late in 2024.
$30,000 received by the City as a donation for the purchase of a sculpture for Balfour Park.
Provide additional appropriations (expenditures) of $989,764 comprised of:
$350,000 increase in contract attorney services in the City Council Department to cover
current estimated legal costs associated with Councilmember Merkel.
$223,200 decrease in salaries, payroll taxes and benefits in the Public Safety Department to
help offset legal costs related to Councilmember Merkel in the City Council Department.
$130,000 decrease in law enforcement vehicle replacements in the Public Safety Department
to help offset legal costs related to Councilmember Merkel in the City Council Department.
This represents a reduction of two vehicles being purchased as replacements for current aging
patrol vehicles.
$158,064 increase in the Engineering Department related to hiring an additional Right of Way
Inspector position that was approved by Council at the April 15, 2025 Council meeting. This
cost increase is offset by increased Right of Way Permit fees as discussed above.
$18,000 increase in the Homeless and Housing Services Division related to the outreach
services contract. This contract is being paid through a grant from Spokane County (see the
note about the revenues of $227,486 above).
$482,200 increase in costs for work related to the energy efficiency and clean building grants
received by the City.
$304,700 increase in capital software costs related to the replacement of the City’s financial
management software. The 2022 Budget originally included $1,000,000 for this purpose.
However, the timing of the project is spread over various years into 2025. This amendment
spreads the $1,000,000 budgeted forward into the appropriate period.
$30,000 increase in costs related to the sculpture donated by a citizen. See offsetting
revenues discussed above.
#101 – Street O&M Fund
Revenues reflect a decrease of $985,000 in transfers in from the Transportation Benefit District
Fund #111 due to updated estimated vehicle license fees in 2025. Actual revenues were much
lower than previously estimated due to an error in the Department Licensing systems that
provided inaccurate vehicle counts for the City.
Expenditures have a net change of $0, due to a $25,000 decrease to bridge repair and
maintenance services and a corresponding $25,000 increase in transfers out to the Street Capital
Projects Fund #303 related to the Thorpe Bridge Project.
#104 – Hotel/Motel Tax – Tourism Facilities Fund
Increase in revenues of $500,000 for transfers in from the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund #105. This
increase reflects a Council motion on January 7, 2025, as part of the lodging tax grant process
for the 2025 awards.
Increase in expenditures of $2,500,000 in transfers out to the Economic Development Capital
Projects Fund #316 for the Cross Country Course project. This was approved by Council motion
on January 7, 2025.
#105 – Hotel / Motel Tax Fund
Net decrease of $0 in expenditures comprised of an increase in transfers out to the Hotel / Motel
Tax – Tourism Facilities Fund #104 of $500,000 and a decrease of $500,000 in tourism promotion
costs as was approved during the lodging tax process at the January 7, 2025 Council meeting.
#106 – Solid Waste Fund
Revenues and expenditures increase by $158,600 for the Local Solid Waste Financial Assistance
(LSWFA) grant received by the City and the related program costs. Council approved applying
for the grant at the February 11, 2025 Council meeting.
#108 – Affordable & Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund
Revenues and expenditures increase $1,000,000 related to the Connection Housing to
Infrastructure Program (CHIP) grant received by the City. Council approved the grant application
in late 2024, and the City has an agreement with the Spokane Housing Authority to passthrough
the grant funds to them for their Appleway Development Project.
#109 – Tourism Promotion Area Fund
Expenditures increase by $475,000 to adjust for available budget based on actual 2024 revenues
and expenditures.
#111 – Transportation Benefit District Fund
Revenues and expenditures are proposed to decrease by $985,000. This amount includes
estimated vehicle license fees as well as a transfer out to the Street O&M Fund #101 for use on
street maintenance expenditures. See comments under Fund #101 above regarding the reason
for the decrease.
#302 – REET 3 Capital Projects Fund
Expenditures increase by $505,000 in transfers out to the Street Capital Projects Fund #303 for
the Thorpe Bridge Project.
#303 – Street Capital Projects Fund
Revenues and expenditures increase by $530,000 to add the Thorpe Bridge Project. Funding is
provided by a transfer in of $25,000 from the Street Fund #101 and of $505,000 from the REET
2 Capital Projects Fund #302.
#309 – Park Capital Projects Fund
Revenues and expenditures increase by $1,790,400 to add the Sullivan Water Line Project.
Funding is provided by a transfer in of $914,900 from the Capital Reserve Fund #312, grant

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Ordinance #25-005: Second Reading - Street Vacation STV-2025-0001
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.140; Revised Code of
Washington (RCW) 35A.47.020 and chapter 35.79 RCW
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: February 11, 2025 - information only item; February 18,
2025 - Administrative Report; on February 25, 2025 - Resolution 25-002 was adopted setting the public
hearing date before the Planning Commission for March 27, 2025; on April 29, 2025 City Council heard
the Administrative Report on the Planning Commission recommendation; and on May 6 City Council
heard the First Ordinance Reading.
BACKGROUND:
Don and Edith Corson have requested the vacation of the alley segment as described above. The Corson’s
are in the process of developing the Regal Care Center which will consist of two community residential
support and treatment facilities and a building with offices and a gymnasium for the residents. The right-
of-way would be incorporated into the development if the request were to be granted.
The street segment requested to be vacated abuts property owned by Don and Edith Corson and Robert
Carroll. The alley extends from Appleway Avenue. and connects with Greenacres Road. The alley was
dedicated by the Corbin Addition to Greenacres Plat recorded July 31, 1923, along with a small sliver of
land dedicated by deed on January 22, 1956 (AFN#369325B). The alley is approximately 7’ wider (27’)
at the location it intersects with Appleway Avenue. The right-of-way has not been improved to street
standards. The portion requesting to be vacated is paved but functions primarily as access serving the
adjacent properties. The area is indistinguishable from the surrounding commercial parking lot, and it
appears that buildings have been constructed in the right-of-way. The remaining portion of the alley
extending to Greenacres Road is gravel. The total area requested to be vacated is estimated to be 4,042 sq.
ft.
At the time of application, the alley right-of-way requested to be vacated was adjacent to parcels
55184.1510, 55184.1509, 55184.1521, and 55184.1522. The parcel numbers have changed as BLA-
2024-0026 was completed and recorded with the Spokane County Auditors office on April 3, 2025, to
reconfigure the parcels for the proposed development. The amount of property owned by the adjacent
properties did not change as a result of the BLA. Property owned by Robert Carroll abuts approximately
13% of the right-of-way requested to be vacated. Property owned by Corson’s, the applicant, abuts
approximately 87% of the right-of-way requested to be vacated.
The Planning Commission conducted a study session on March 13, 2025, and a public hearing on March
27, 2025. Following public testimony and deliberations, the Planning Commission voted 7-0 to
recommend approval of STV-2025-0001. The findings and recommendations were approved by the
Planning Commission on April 10, 2025.
Second Ordinance Reading for STV-2025-0001 Page 1 of 2
SVMC 22.140.040 provides that City Council must consider the Planning Commission’s findings,
conditions and/or limitations as appropriate to preserve the public use or benefit, the division of the
vacated right-of-way among abutting property owners, and whether to require compensation for the right-
of-way and when it is to be paid.
Division of Vacated Right-of-Way to Abutting Property Owners:
Half width of the right-of-way dedicated by the Corbin Addition to Greenacres Plat shall be granted to the
adjacent property owners, and the 183 sf area granted by deed shall be returned to parcel number
55184.1521 where it originated from, unless one property owner provides a signed and notarized
document forfeiting the right to acquire the right-of-way after it is vacated and authorizing it to go to the
other property owner. Utility/access easements across the properties will be required to provide access
and maintenance of the existing water, electric and gas utilities.
Compensation for Right-of-Way:
Council adopted Resolution 22-020 to provide a policy on how to require compensation for the vacated
right-of-way. The table below provides the analysis conducted consistent with Resolution 22-020 to
determine the estimated assessed value of the vacated property. The actual value will be calculated once
the record of survey is prepared. The estimated fee for the vacated ROW is $17,683.75.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
ORDINANCE NO. 25-005
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY
WASHINGTON, PROVIDING FOR A RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION OF
APPROXIMATELY 4,042 SQUARE FEET OF ALLEY LYING EXTENDING NORTH
FROM APPLEWAY AVENUE AND LYING EAST OF LONG ROAD AND WEST OF
GREENACRES ROAD, AND PROVIDING FOR OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY
RELATING THERETO.
WHEREAS, on February 25, 2025 the City Council approved Resolution 25-002 to set the public
hearing date for the Planning Commission to consider vacation of 4,042 square feet of alley lying east of
Long Road and West of Greenacres Road; and
WHEREAS, on June 13, 2024, the Planning Commission held a public hearing; and
WHEREAS, following the hearing, the Planning Commission found that the notice and hearing
requirements of Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.140.020 had been met; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission findings and minutes have been filed with the City Clerk
as part of the public record supporting the vacation; and
WHEREAS, none of the property owners abutting the property to be vacated filed a written
objection to the proposed vacation with the City Clerk; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to SVMC 22.140.040(D) and Resolution 22-020, the value of 50% of the
alley is estimated to be $17,683.75. The actual cost to be paid to the City for the right-of-way to be
vacated will be determined based on the record of survey; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to chapter 22.140 SVMC, upon vacation of the road, the City shall transfer
the vacated property to the owners of the abutting parcels on the alley (55184.1554, 55184.1555,
55184.1521 and 55184.1522); and
WHEREAS, the zoning district designation of the properties adjoining the street shall attach to
the vacated property, a record of survey shall be submitted to the city, and all direct and indirect costs of
title transfer to the vacated street shall be paid by the proponent or recipient of the transferred property;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to vacate the above portion of the alley extending north
from Appleway Avenue and lying east of Long Road and west of Greenacres Road pursuant to chapter
22.140 SVMC.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County,
Washington, do ordain as follows:
Section 1. Findings of Fact. The City Council makes the following findings of fact:
1. The alley currently operates as a driveway to the existing Auto Sales business located
at18,111 E Appleway Avenue. The portion of alley extending north from Appleway Avenue
is paved but not to any street standards. The remaining portion of the alley extending
northeast is not paved. The alley is not useable to the public as buildings have been
constructed within the right-of-way impeding traffic from traveling from Appleway to
connect with Greenacres Road. Vacating the right-of-way would return the property to the
adjacent private property owners to be legally used for development. This would return
property to the tax rolls and free the city from potential liability from conditions that may
arise in the dedicated right-of-way.
Ordinance 25-005 – Vacating a portion of an alley extending north of Appleway Page 1 of 5
DRAFT
2. The portion of the alley requested to be vacated is currently used for access to the existing
Auto Sales business located on Corson’s property that includes all five properties. It does not
provide access to other properties or connectivity between Appleway Avenue and
Greenacres Road since it is impassable. It is noted that the Auto Sales site is made up of 5
separate parcels. Parcel number 55184.1809 only has access off the alley, and parcel
55184.1511 is land locked. BLA-2024-0026 will consolidate the four parcels west of the
alley to two parcels. Parcel A will have direct access from Appleway Avenue and parcel B
will have access off the existing alley. If the alley is vacated Parcel B will not have access.
Parcel #55184.1521, lying on the east side of the alley, cannot be included in the BLA as
lots cannot be bisected by right-of-way. The lot can be consolidated with Parcel B ensuring
that all properties have access to Appleway Avenue. As noted on the site plan, Parcel
#55184.1521 is intended to provide parking for the Regal Care Center project and functions
as a portion of the site.
CB Quenchers, located on Mr. Carroll’s property, would still have alley access to the rear of
the building by entering the alley from Greenacres. CB Quenchers currently has direct
access from Appleway Avenue. No other properties would be directly affected by vacating
the 185’ segment of alley as they would all retain access from Appleway Avenue.
The site plan for the Regal Care Project indicates that if the street vacation request is granted
that parcel #55184.1521 will be used as a seamless portion of the healthcare complex to
provide parking. Vacating the right-of-way eliminates the bisection of the complex by right-
of-way and allows Regal Care Center to incorporate the entire area effectively into the
design. This would eliminate design constraints such as prohibiting vehicles on commercial
property from backing out onto public right-of-way and setback requirements.
Water, gas, and electric lines exist throughout the right-of-way. Existing sewer and cable
lines are located outside of the right-of-way and not affected by request. Consolidated
Irrigation District #19 (water) and Avista (gas and electric) have requested an access and
maintenance easement. Their continued service needs are met if an easement is provided
3. There is no substitution being proposed as part of the vacation. The City’s review has
determined there is no need for a new or different public way. The right-of-way is unusable
to the public due to the encroachment of the buildings. It is currently being used by the
adjacent property owner to serve the existing business. Vacating the right-of-way would
return the property to the tax rolls and remove the maintenance responsibility from the City.
So long as access easements are retained for existing utilities, the public interest is served.
4. The property is zoned Corridor Mixed Use which allows for a variety of commercial, service
and residential uses. The current property owner owns 5 parcels and is in the process of
consolidating the parcels to facilitate on-site development of a residential health services
complex. Vacating the right-of-way eliminates the bisection of the site allowing the parcels
to be consolidated to eliminate property lines and associated setbacks. If the Regal Care
Project is not constructed, then the zoning allows the parcels to develop more intensely. If
the street vacation were granted, and the abutting properties were consolidated this may
increase potential for larger and more efficient development projects.
Parcel #55184.1510 and 55184.1521, both owned by the Corsons, have direct access to
Appleway Avenue. As discussed above, parcel #55184.1509 only has access via the alley
and parcel #55184.1511 has no access. Both parcels are included in BLA-2024-0026 that
would combine parcel’s 551984.1552, 55184.1510, and 55184.1511 and 55184.1509 into 2
parcels that take access either from Appleway Avenue or the alley. The consolidation of
Parcel B within BLA-2024-0026 and parcel #55184.1521 ensures that all lots have access.
Ordinance 25-005 – Vacating a portion of an alley extending north of Appleway Page 2 of 5
DRAFT
The adjacent parcels #55184.1505 and #55184.1524) have access via the alley, which will
still be available from Greenacres Road. It is worth noting that both parcels are owned by
Mr. Carroll, along with parcel # 55184.1523. None of Mr. Carroll’s parcels will be
landlocked if the street vacation is granted. All other parcels in the immediate area would
either have access via Appleway Avenue or Cowley Avenue.
Since the alley is not useable, vacating the right-of-way will have no impact on traffic
patterns or on persons attempting to access properties on Appleway Avenue, Cowley
Avenue or Greenacres Road. The connectivity of the alley was compromised when the
buildings were constructed.
5. Notice of the public hearing was made by posting written notice on the City’s web page and
at City Hall; publishing notice in the Spokane Valley Herald, posting both ends of the right-
of-way to be vacated, and a direct mailing to property owners adjacent to the proposed
vacation. To date, no objections by the public or governmental agencies were received.
6. Resolution 22-020 was adopted pursuant to RCW 35.79.030 to set the City’s policy for
imposing vacation charges. Pursuant to Section 1 of Resolution 22-020:
a. The cost for property received as a result of a vacation initiated by an adjacent property
owner shall equal 50% of the appraised value of the vacated property received.
i. The appraised value shall be the same as the value of an equivalent portion of
property adjacent to the proposed vacation as established by Spokane County
Assessor at the time the matter is considered by the City Council.
ii. If the value of adjacent properties differs then the average of the adjacent
property values per square foot will be used.
Based on the average assessed value of the adjacent properties, $17,683.75 is 50% of the
estimated assessed value of the alley. Therefore, $17,683.75 is the estimated amount to be
paid by the adjacent property owners. The actual amount will be determined based on the
record of survey.
Section 2. Property to be Vacated. Based upon the above findings, the City Council does

BACKGROUND:
In early 2023, the City Council voted to approve signing a joint statement considering a regional
approach to homelessness along with the City of Spokane and Spokane County. That effort was
led by the Spokane Regional Collaborative (SRC), a volunteer group consisting of Gavin Cooley,
former City of Spokane Chief Financial Officer; Rick Romero, former City of Spokane Director of
Strategic Planning; and Theresa Sanders, former City of Spokane City Administrator. Local
governmental entities agreed to meet regularly and discuss the potential for regional collaborative
approach to address homelessness. Mayor Haley, Councilmember Hattenburg, City Manager
Hohman, and City Services Administrator Mantz participated in these discussions.
On June 28, 2023, SRC held a public meeting and proposed the formation of a county-wide public
development authority (PDA), named Spokane Regional Authority for Homelessness, Housing,
Health and Safety. SRC asked the participating jurisdictions to execute a resolution committing
their staff to support the SRC to continue considering the creation of the regional authority. To
address concerns regarding the SRC proposal, Spokane County hosted a Council of
Governments on September 8, 2023. At the Council of Governments, the majority of the
jurisdictions present committed to continue to meet to address these issues with the intent of
forming a regional entity. After several meetings, consensus was reached regarding the
governing board structure and composition, legal structure, scope and funding of the entity. In
November 2023, the next steps for the entity formation were put on hold due to the pending 2023
elections.
On August 29, 2024, the interest in continuing the discussions regarding the formation of a
regional entity was discussed. There was no consensus from the City of Spokane and Spokane
County to continue these efforts at this time. In the absence of a regional entity, the following
interagency goals were expressed at subsequent meetings:
Development of a single request for proposals process all agencies
Development of strong/real time regional database system
Page 1 of 2
Create a mechanism/structure that allows contribution of private/philanthropic sources to
leverage government funds
Improve planning coordination between all jurisdictions
Staff from the City of Spokane, City of Spokane Valley, and Spokane County have developed a
draft interlocal agreement (ILA) to address these goals. The ILA is included as an attachment.
OPTIONS: (1) Motion to approve Regional Homeless Coordination ILA; or (2) take other action
as appropriate.

Page 3 of 88
INTRODUCTION
As Councilmembers of the City of Spokane Valley, we agree that the Governance Manual (Manual)
outlines the rules by which we agree to adhere in order to successfully and efficiently conduct city
business.
Councilmembers agree to:
Demonstrate principles of fairness and equal treatment of all people.
Exhibit professionalism, respect for all people, respect for the responsibilities of elected
office, and courteous treatment for each other, city staff and the public.
Recognize the requirement for confidentiality for certain city business such as legal,
personnel, negotiations, real estate transactions and other sensitive matters.
Acknowledge that the City Council acts as a body. Councilmembers may disagree with a
decision of the majority, but they recognize that decisions of the majority obligate the
Council to a course of action.
Councilmembers in the minority on an issue shall have the privilege of expressing their
individual views while maintaining respect for the decision and authority of the majority to
establish policy.
Recognize that while disagreement between members can occur, Councilmembers
understand the importance of cooperation and collaboration on issues.
City Council meetings shall be governed by the most recent edition of Robert’s Rules of Order, a copy
of which is maintained in the City Clerk Office. However, in the event of a conflict between the
Council’s Governance Manual and Robert’s Rules, the Council’s Governance Manual shall prevail.
This Manual is designed to provide guidance for the City Council and is not intended to be an
amendment or substitute for any state statutes, city ordinances, court decisions, or other authority.
The rules and policies in this Manual do not constitute land use regulations, official controls, public
hearing rules or other substantive rules binding upon or to be used or relied upon by members of the
public, and do not amend statutory or other regulatory requirements.

Page 4 of 88
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
FOUNDATION
The City of Spokane Valley incorporated March 31, 2003, and is a non-charter code city operating
under a Council-Manager plan of government as outlined in chapter 35A.13 RCW Optional Municipal
Code for Council-Manager plan of government. Under this form of government, there are two
branches of government: legislative and administrative.
PURPOSE OF CITY GOVERNMENT
The general purpose of local government is to promote the social, economic, environmental and
cultural well-being of the community, to ensure that resources are used efficiently and effectively,
to ensure transparency and accountability in decision-making, and to provide the prudent use and
stewardship of local community resources. These statements should be considered the lens
through which this Manual is intended and through which the actions of the City Council and staff
are viewed.
The City recognizes that individual rights are critically important in our society, and the City is
committed to not infringe upon those rights whenever possible. Good governance should reflect the
will of the citizenry and can only occur as a result of an open public process: “All political power is
inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed,
and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.” (Washington State Constitution
Article I, Section 1)
OBLIGATIONS
The City acknowledges the importance of complying with the Open Public Meetings Act and the
Public Records Act: “The people of this state do not yield their sovereignty to the agencies which
serve them. The people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right to decide
what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to know. The people insist on
remaining informed so that they may retain control over the instruments they have created.” RCW
42.30.010 and 42.56.030.
RCW 42.30.010 Open Public Meetings Act: “The legislature finds and declares that all public
commissions, boards, councils, committees, subcommittees, departments, divisions, offices, and
all other public agencies of this state and subdivisions thereof exist to aid in the conduct of the
people’s business. It is the intent of this chapter that their actions be taken openly and that their
deliberations be conducted openly.” Unless as part of an executive session, Councilmembers shall
not meet as a quorum of four or more in a non-public meeting.
Unless as part of a duly noted Council meeting, a quorum of four or more Councilmembers shall not
meet as part of a web conference dealing with city business, nor a conference call, serial
communication, social media or even a “straw poll” in executive session. The Open Public Meetings
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Executive Summary | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 5 of 88
Act does not prohibit a quorum or more of Councilmembers meeting at social gatherings or events
provided city issues are not discussed. If Councilmembers are involved in a violation of the Open
Public Meetings Act, and are aware that their actions violate the Act, they may be personally liable.
If the violation is not intentional, the City may still be liable for attorney’s fees. However, elected
officials’ right to speak freely and gather publicly is protected by the First Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution.
RCW 42.56.030 Public Records Act: “This chapter shall be liberally construed and its exemptions
narrowly construed to promote this public policy and to assure that the public interest will be fully
protected. In the event of conflict between the provisions of this chapter and any other act, the
provisions of this chapter shall govern.”
PRIORITIES
The city’s priorities are public safety, street maintenance, economic development, Housing and
Homelessness, Communications, and Infrastructure Improvements. Additional information on
priorities and Council goals can be found in each year’s budget.
BASIC TENETS
Council’s core values and basic tenets of governing can be found in Resolution 07-019, which is

BRANCHES OF CITY GOVERNMENT
The Council is the legislative branch of the city government. Council appoints an officer whose title
shall be “city manager” and who shall be the chief executive officer and head of the administrative
branch of the City government. “The city manager shall be responsible to the Council for the proper
administration of all affairs of the code city.” RCW 35A.13.010.
LEGISLATIVE BRANCH – CITY COUNCIL
The City Council consists of seven elected officials, each elected to four-year terms. Individual
Councilmembers do not have governing power as individuals, but only when meeting as a Council
when a quorum (four or more) are present. Council represents the city residents and business
owners of the City of Spokane Valley, and is the law-making, policy-making, and budget and
spending approval authority of the city government. Council hires, directs, guides and evaluates the
performance of the city manager. The city manager shall be appointed for an indefinite term and may
be removed by a majority vote of the Council (RCW 35A.13.130), or as otherwise agreed to by
contract. For functions of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, see also Chapter 1(A)(3), page 8 of this
Manual.
Some of the duties, responsibilities, and limitations of each Councilmember:
Brings the experience, concerns and knowledge of a typical city resident to city government.
Is cognizant of the needs, wants and concerns of city residents and businesses as a whole.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Executive Summary | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 6 of 88
Contacts residents and businesses to gather feedback and ideas. The resulting information
may be shared with staff or other Councilmembers individually, or with fewer than two
simultaneously (but not serially), or with all Councilmembers at a Council meeting.
Studies internal and external written and documented information related to the government
and administration of the city.
Is prohibited from giving city employees directives, or saying anything that could be taken as
an attempt to influence the conduct of the employee’s job.
Gives feedback and ideas regarding city government and administration to the city manager.
Participates in assigned city and regional committees and all Council meetings.
When acting in the capacity of Councilmember outside of Council meetings, communicates
that any personal opinion is the opinion of the individual Councilmember and not that of the
collective Council, unless pre-authorized to speak, as Council does not want the public to
assume that any individual personal opinion represents that of the entire Council.
Councilmember’s freedom of speech is protected by the U.S. and Washington State
Constitutions. Provided there is no quorum., Councilmembers may work together on City
Council-related projects and discuss city business in non-public meetings. No permission is
needed, nor is notice required to be given for such gathering.
ADMINISTRATIVE BRANCH - CITY MANAGER AND CITY STAFF
The city manager is the city’s chief executive officer and head of the administrative branch. The city
manager is an at-will position and reports directly to the Council. The city manager is directly
accountable to the City Council for the execution of the City Council’s policy directives, for the
administration and management of all city departments, and for the supervision of staff. (See
Chapter 3(B), page 39 of this Manual and chapter 35A.13.RCW for a description of the role of the city
manager.)
Although this summary is provided as an overview of the Governance Manual, reading the entire
Manual is strongly encouraged.

proclamation will be handed to the appropriate person by the city clerk or the Mayor, and the
individual will be permitted to speak no more than two minutes.
108.General Public Comment. (See Chapter 1, Section C, Subsection 1a-c for procedural
details.)
119.Consent Agenda. Items which may be placed on the Consent Agenda are those which
have been previously discussed by the Council; can be reviewed by a Councilmember
without further explanation; are so routine, technical or nonsubstantive in nature that
passage without discussion is likely; or are otherwise deemed in the best interest of the City.
Consent Agenda.
Prior to the vote on the motion to approve the Consent Agenda, the Presiding Officer shall
inquire if any Councilmember wishes an item to be withdrawn from the Consent Agenda. If
any matter is withdrawn, the Presiding Officer shall place the item at an appropriate place on
the agenda for the current or a future meeting, or the matter may be addressed immediately
after passage of the remaining items on the Consent Agenda.
1210. Action Items. Any member of the public who wishes to verbally address the Council
on an action item on the current agenda, shall proceed to the podium at the time when

also invoke a sign-in procedure. If necessary, the Presiding Officer in consultation with the
city manager and/or city attorney shall rule on the appropriateness of verbal public
comments as the agenda item is reached. The Presiding Officer may change the order of
speakers so that comment is heard in the most logical groupings.
Public Hearings fall into the Action Items category.

discussed or reported.
1513. General Public Comment. (See Chapter 1, Section C, Subsection 1a-c for procedural
details.)
14.Councilmember Reports. These are brief (three-minute maximum) verbal reports by
Councilmembers specifically regarding meetings or events (committee, commission, task
force, board meetings, or community events) they have recently attended while representing
the city. This is not an opportunity for general comments from Councilmembers. The intent
of the Councilmember Reports is to inform the entire Council and the public of pertinent
policy issues or events which impact the city. Extended reports shall be placed as future
agenda items for presentation or submitted in writing as an informational memo.
15.. Same as 16 above, except given by the Mayor. The Mayor may also use
this time to correct inaccurate information presented during the meeting.

16.Advanced Agenda.
17.City Manager Comments. The purpose of this item is to allow the city manager the

13.Council Comments. The purpose of this item is to allow Councilmembers an opportunity

1516. Executive Session (as required)
1617. Adjournment. See Subsection 1(d)(19) above.
3.Executive Sessions
a.Executive sessions shall be held pursuant to the Open Public Meetings Act chapter 42.30 RCW.
Council may hold an executive session during a regular or special meeting. Before convening in
executive session, the Presiding Officer shall ask for a motion from Council to publicly announce the
purpose for adjourning into executive session; when the executive session will be concluded; and
the likelihood of Council taking action at the close of the executive session and return to open
session.
i.After the Council adjourns to executive session as the last agenda item prior to ending the
Council meeting, Council chambers shall be closed to the public if the motion to adjourn to
executive session includes a statement that the Council will not take any action after
returning to open session. The public shall be allowed to return to Council chambers after
Council returns to Council chambers.
ii
Presiding Officer will declare Council out of executive session, and ask for the appropriate
motion (i.e. an action motion or a motion to adjourn).
iii. To protect the best interests of the city, Councilmembers shall keep confidential all verbal
and written information provided during executive sessions. Confidentiality also includes
information provided to Councilmembers outside of executive sessions when the
information is considered exempt from disclosure under the Code of Ethics for Municipal
Officers (RCW 42.52) and/or the Public Records Act (RCW 42.56).
b.RCW 42.30.110 explains the purpose for holding an executive session, some of which include:
i.RCW 42.30.110(1)(b). To consider the selection of a site or the acquisition of real estate by
lease or purchase when public knowledge regarding such consideration would cause a
likelihood of increased price (pending land acquisition).
ii.RCW 42.30.110(1)(g). To evaluate the qualifications of an applicant for public employment
or to review the performance of a public employee. \[The only employee subject to this
evaluation is the position of city manager.\] However, subject to RCW 42.30.140(4) (labor
negotiations), discussion by a governing body of salaries, wages, and other conditions of
employment to be generally applied within the agency shall occur in a meeting open to the
public, and when a governing body elects to take final action hiring, setting the salary of an
individual employee or class of employees, or discharging or disciplining an employee, that
action shall be taken in a meeting open to the public. \[Note: stating that an executive
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 13 of 88
types of personnel matters are appropriate for discussion in an executive session.\] (review
qualifications of a public employee)
iii.RCW 42.30.110(1)(h). To evaluate the qualifications of a candidate for appointment to
elective office. However, any interview of such candidate and final action appointing a
candidate to elective office shall be in a meeting open to the public (review qualifications of
an elected official).
iv.RCW 42.30.110(1)(i). To discuss with legal counsel representing the agency matters
relating to agency enforcement actions, or to discuss with legal counsel representing the
agency litigation or potential litigation to which the agency, the governing body, or a member
acting in an official capacity is, or is likely to become, a party, when public knowledge
regarding the discussion is likely to result in an adverse legal or financial consequence to the
agency. For purp
protected by Rules of Professional Conduct (RPC) 1.6 or RCW 5.60.060(2)(a) concerning:
(a)Litigation that has been specifically threatened to which the agency, the governing
body, or a member acting in an official capacity is, or is likely to become, a party;
(b)Litigation that the agency reasonably believes may be commenced by or against the
agency, the governing body, or a member acting in an official capacity; or
(c)Litigation or legal risks of a proposed action or current practice that the agency has
identified when public discussion of the litigation or legal risks is likely to result in an
adverse legal or financial consequence to the agency.
c.Council may adjourn into executive session even if it is not listed on the meeting agenda. There is
a requirement in RCW 35A.12.160 that the public be made aware of the preliminary agendas of
meetings in advance of the meeting, but that does not mean that an item that arises after the agenda
has been posted cannot be discussed at the meeting, even in executive session. Since final action
on the matter would not be taken at the executive session, it would not violate any provision in state
law to hold an executive session at a regular Council meeting even if the executive session was not
listed on the agenda. \[MRSC Index-General Government-Executive sessions.\] Although amending
the agenda is not required in order to adjourn into executive session, it is a good practice for the
Mayor to announce at the beginning of the meeting, that Council will be adjourning into an executive
session at the end of the regular meeting.
d.Attendance at Executive Sessions. Attendance shall only be in person. Except in extreme
circumstances, there shall be no virtual attendance at an Executive Session. The city attorney or
deputy city attorney shall attend executive sessions which address litigation or potential litigation.
The question of who may attend an executive session other than the Council, is determined by the
city manager.
4.Special Meetings
a.A special meeting may be called by the Mayor or any three members of the Council. (RCW
35A.13.170, 35A.12.110). Written notice of the special meeting shall be prepared by the city clerk.
The notice shall contain information about the meeting, including date, time, place, and business to
be transacted and shall be posted on the c
meeting location (RCW 42.30.080). The notice shall be delivered to each member of Council at least
24 hours before the time specified for the proposed meeting (RCW 35A.12.110). The noticing
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 14 of 88
regarding such decision to hold a special meeting (made by the Mayor or any three
Councilmembers), shall be handled by the City Clerkcity manager.
b.The notices provided in this section may be dispensed within the circumstances provided by RCW
42.30.080, that is: (a) As to any member who, at or prior to the time the meeting convenes, files with
the city clerk a written waiver of notice; (b) As to any member who was actually present at the meeting
at the time it convenes; and (c) In the event a special meeting is called to deal with an emergency
involving injury or damage to persons or property or the likelihood of such injury or damage, when
time requirements of such notice would make notice impractical and increase the likelihood of such
injury or damage; or as otherwise provided by law.
c.Agendas shall be drafted in a form submitted by the city clerk, approved by the city manager, and
distributed in a manner similar to agendas for Format A and Format B meetings. The processes and
rules for agenda content apply to regular Format A, Format B and special meetings.
d.Special meeting agendas may include action and non-action items. It is the practice of Council to
on the agenda. Once the Special Meeting Agenda has been published and distributed, the agenda
may be amended provided the amended agenda is distributed to Councilmembers and to the media,
and posted on the c
special meeting. Final disposition shall not be taken on any other matter at such meeting, which
means that the governing body may address other matters not identified in the special meeting
.080(3))
Council may not pass a franchise ordinance at a special meeting \[RCW 35A.47.040\].
e.There have been questions about whether it is necessary to call a special meeting in situations
where Councilmembers are invited to attend a public meeting not called by the City as an official
Council meeting, and whether it is legal for a quorum of Councilmembers to be present without
violating the Open Meeting Act. According to the Washington State Attorney General Opinion 2006,
City or County Council does not, of itself, cause
the Open Public Meetings Act to apply if Councilmembers attend a public meeting called by a third
party. The gathering of C

such as a meeting scheduled by the city engineers to discuss a construction project, or a meeting
scheduled through the Finance Department to hear a report from the state auditors, or a meeting
scheduled by the Parks and Recreation Department to discuss parks or other city business. Because
these meetings can at times present questionable concern when it comes to the Open Public
Meeting Act, Councilmembers who desire to attend such meetings shall notify the city staff at least
two working days prior to the meeting, of their intent to attend, and only the first three
Councilmembers who indicate they will be attending any particular meeting, may attend. This is
necessary in order not to violate or perceive to violate the Open Public Meetings Act.

Research News Summer, 2016\] A quorum of Councilmembers traveling together for a scheduled
tour would not be in violation of the Open Public Meetings Act provided they do not discuss city
business. However, comments and discussion as a result of the tour, shall be done at a regular
Council meeting and not during the tour or outside of a regular or special Council meeting.
5.Emergency Meetings
Emergency Council meetings may be called by the Mayor or any two Councilmembers, consistent
with the provisions of chapter 42.30 RCW. Meeting time, location and notice requirements do not
apply to emergency meetings called for emergency matters as permitted by RCW 42.30.070,
42.30.080, and 42.14.075:

likelihood of such injury or damage, when time requirements of such notice would make
imprudent, inexpedient or impossible to conduct the affairs of a political subdivision at a
regular or usual place or places, the governing body of the political subdivision may meet at
any place within or without the territorial limits of the political subdivision on the call of the
presiding official or any two members of the governing body. After any emergency relocation,
the affairs of political subdivisions shall be lawfully conducted at such emergency temporary
6.Pre-Agenda/Advance Agenda Meetings
The city manager, city clerk, Mayor and Deputy Mayor generally meet at a fixed weekly time to review
the Council agenda of the upcoming meeting, which gives all involved an opportunity to ask
questions and gather any additional materials or research needed for the impending meeting. This
meeting also serves as an opportune time to discuss the Advance Agenda, which is a planning
document to aid in scheduling items on future Council agendas. (see also Agenda Committee under
Chapter 4 internal committees)
7.Cancellation of Meetings
State law does not require any specific procedure for canceling an upcoming meeting, however,
notice of the cancellation to the public, Councilmembers, and staff should be given by the clerk in a
similar manner to the notice given for a special meeting. The decision to cancel a meeting will be
made by the city manager in consultation with the Mayor and/or Agenda Committee and time
permitting, will be noted on the Advance Agenda. The noticing of such decision will be handled by
the city clerk through the city manager.

C.MEETING RULES AND PROCEDURES
1.Public Comments
This is an opportunity for public comments regarding issues relating to the operation of the City, but
which are not otherwise on the agenda for action. If the Presiding Officer is unclear whether
comments relate to the operation of the City, the Presiding Officer shall ask how the comments are
pertinent for consideration by the Council as business of the City. Speakers may sign in to speak,
but it is not required. Under the general public comment opportunity, each speaker may only make
comments once and comments are limited to three minutes unless modified by the Presiding
Officer. Members of the public shall be prohibited from allocating any of their own speaking time to
other members of the public. This time is an opportunity to hear from various members of the public
in a limited public forum on issues relating to city business, and not an opportunity for extended
comments or dialogue. Although the City Council desires to allow the opportunity for public
comment, the business of the city must proceed in an orderly, timely manner. Council meetings are
he time, place and manner of speech can be
regulated. At any time, the Presiding Officer, at the Presiding Officer's sole discretion, may set such
reasonable limits as are necessary to prevent disruption or undue delay of other necessary business.
The desired total time for public comments shall not exceed 45 minutes; however, that time limit
city to have
discussion about any past, current, or future possible/probable election or campaign-related issues
during Council meetings. The only exception to this prohibition on discussion of election or
campaign-related topics would be if the Council requests that Spokane County place a ballot item
on for election. (See Chapter 2, F Ballot Measures.)
a.Verbal Comments:
i. Comments shall only be made from the podium microphone, first giving name, city of residence
ption to this prohibition
shall be allowed when public comment is only permitted via remote access due to emergency.
The public shall be reminded that this is not an opportunity for dialogue or questions and answers,
but public comment. When appropriate, staff shall research issues and report back to those
making the comment as well as to Council. Public comments are opportunities for speakers to
briefly address the entire Council, and those speaking are to address members of Council and
not the audience. Speakers should refrain from personal attacks on individual Councilmembers.
In order to prevent disruption of the Council meeting, members of the public are asked to refrain
from distributing materials to the audience, since Council meetings are not a public forum to
address the audience. Since this is an opportunity for public comment relating to city business,
in the interest of time and keeping in mind all documents submitted during Council meetings
become the property of the city, graphs, charts, posterboards, PowerPoint presentations, or
other display materials are not permitted to be displayed or distributed at the place of the
meeting, although written comments and written materials including photographs and petitions
may be submitted to Council via the city clerk.
ii.Demonstration, applause, or other audience participation before, during or at the conclusion
of anyone's public comments is prohibited because it is disruptive. Any disruptive conduct, as
determined by the Presiding Officer, shall be cause for removal from the meeting room. Any ruling
by the Presiding Officer relative to these subsections on public comments may be overruled by a
vote of a majority of Councilmembers present.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 17 of 88
iii.Council shall not permit public comments if they relate to any matter upon which a quasi-
judicial hearing has been required, scheduled, or held.
iv.Disruptive public conduct:
a.Conduct in any form that
the City will not be allowed. If a situation arises where a speaker exceeds the three minutes
(unless permitted to continue by the Presiding Officer), is speaking on matters other than city
business, or is otherwise disruptive in a manner that interferes with the ability of the Council
to conduct the business of the city, the city clerk, with permission of the Mayor, will turn off
the microphone, and the Mayor will ask the speaker to please stop talking and step away from
the podium. In the case of remote meetings, the speaker will be muted.
b.If the speaker continues after the first request, the Mayor will ask the speaker once again to
stop talking and will warn the speaker that failure to stop will result in a suspension of their
privilege to speak at public comment for 90 days. If the speaker continues, the Mayor will gavel
in a five-minute recess.
c. Upon return from recess, public comment will start again with a caution from the Mayor that
if any other speaker refuses to stop talking after being asked to do so after the three minutes
or is otherwise disruptive, the remainder of the public comment for the night will be
terminated.
d.If necessary, at the discretion of the Presiding Officer, and in an attempt to reasonably calm
a situation or resolve a conflict, the law enforcement officer in attendance (or in their absence,
the city attorney or deputy city attorney) shall act as a staff liaison with a member of the public
who refuses to stop talking and refuses to move away from the podium.
b.Written Comments:
Citizens have the option of submitting written views, opinions, comments, data, and arguments to
Council on any topic and at any time, not just prior to or during public Council meetings. Unless the
Mayor asks the clerk to read written mailed or emailed comments, or the citizen reads their own
prepared written comments, such comments shall not be read aloud during regular or special
Council meetings although they shall be included as part of the public record on the topic and if
appropriate, may be publicly acknowledged. Any written comments submitted to Council via the city
clerk city
desk; or in the case of emailed or other electronic comments, shall be forwarded to Council via
email, unless such email has already been supplied to members of Council. If individual

v. The maker of a motion can withdraw their motion with the approval of the majority of

It should be noted that the purpose of tabling a motion is not to simply postpone an issue or a vote.
If the intended purpose is to postpone, then the motion to postpone should be used. If more
information is needed or desired in order to make the most informed vote possible, then an option
would be for the maker of the motion to simply withdraw the motion. The consent of the seconder is
not needed to withdraw a motion, however, withdrawal of a motion should be done with the
approval of a majority of Councilmembers present \[Mayor, I request permission to withdraw my
motion. The Mayor asks if there is any objection, and if none, the motion is withdrawn. If there is
objection, the Mayor will call for a vote.\] While a motion is still on the table, no other motion on the
same subject is in order. The motion to table enables the assembly to lay the pending question aside

16. Voting
The votes during all meetings of the Council shall be transacted as follows:
a. The Presiding Officer shall first call for a vote from those in favor of the motion, followed by a call
for those opposed to the motion, and afterwards shall state whether the motion passed or failed.
Unless otherwise provided by statute, ordinance or resolution, all votes shall be taken by voice or a
show of hands. At the request of any Councilmember or the city clerk, a roll call vote shall be taken
by the city clerk. The order of the roll call vote shall be determined by the city clerk.
b. Unless otherwise provided by statute, ordinance or resolution, in case of a tie vote on a motion,
the motion shall be considered lost.
c. Every member who was present when the question was called, shall give his/her vote. If any
the Councilmember has recused themself due to actual or perceived appearance of a conflict of
interest, which shall be so stated prior to the vote at hand. Abstentions are not permitted as
abstentions are equivalent to not voting, and the members of the public expect their elected officials
to vote on issues.
d. The passage of any ordinance, grant or revocation of franchise or license, and any resolution for
the payment of money, any approval of warrants, and any resolution for the removal of the city
manager shall require the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the whole membership of the

e. Majority Plus One: The passage of any public emergency ordinance (an ordinance that takes effect
immediately), expenditures for any calamity, violence of nature, riot, insurrection, or war; and
provisions for a lesser emergency, such as a budget amendment (RCW 35A.33.090), shall require
the affirmative vote of at least a majority plus one of the whole membership of the Council. (RCW
35A.13.190).
17. Non-Action Items and Discussion
When Council is discussing or making inquiries regarding a non-action item during a Council meeting
that is on that Council meeting agenda, any Councilmember may move to end the discussion on that
item if that Councilmember believes the discussion (1) has become repetitive or repetitive of either
past discussions or materials provided to Council and the public in advance of the Council meeting,
or (2) does not otherwise facilitate productive discussion and consideration of the agenda item.
A motion to end discussion of a non-action agenda item may be raised at any time, including while a
presenter or Councilmember has the floor, after the agenda item is introduced for consideration at
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 27 of 88
that Council meeting but must be made before discussion of that agenda item ends. When bringing
the motion, the objecting Councilmember shall provide a brief statement identifying the grounds for
the motion. If such a motion is seconded by another Councilmember, the motion shall be submitted
to the Council for a vote. If a majority of the then present Councilmembers vote in favor of the motion,
then discussion shall immediately end onthe agenda item for purposes of that Council meeting.
Whether discussion on a non-action item ends by motion or otherwise, Council may give direction
to staff regarding the non-action item before introducing the next item on the agenda. Such direction
may include, but is not limited to, directing staff to bring the matter back at a future Council meeting
for further discussion and consideration.
1718. Recusal From Discussion and Consideration
a.Situations may arise when a Councilmember should consider whether to recuse themselves from
the consideration and decision-making on a particular item. These situations can arise in various
ways, including having an interest in a contract being considered by the City, or when a
Councilmember has a bias in some fashion regarding an issue before the Council. For additional
discussion and explanation, please see Appendix C
of Ethics. The overarching goal of the conflict of interest laws is to prevent municipal officers from
engaging in self-dealing. Seattle v. State, 100 Wn.2d 232, 246 (1983). \[Self-dealing is defined as a
situation in which a fiduciary acts in his own best interest in a transaction rather than in the best
interest of his clients. A fiduciary is legally obligated to act in the best interest of his clients. A
fiduciary is a person to whom property or power is entrusted for the benefit of another.\]
b.Prohibited acts. There are some conflicts which cannot be waived, and some actions in which
Councilmembers shall not engage. RCW 42.23.070 prohibits municipal officers from:
or gratuity from a source except the employing municipality, for a matter connected with or
reasonably expect would require or induce him or her by reason of his or her official position to
disclose confidential information acquired by reason of hi
c.Conflict of interest contracts. In contractual matters, Councilmembers are required to avoid
directly benefitting from contracts entered into by the city. When a Councilmember is aware that
they may benefit from such a contractual relationship, they are required to recuse themselves.
Other situations may arise where a Councilmember may indirectly benefit. In these circumstances,
the determination of whether a conflict of interest exists such that they should recuse themselves
will have to be made by that Councilmember based on facts and circumstances known at the time.
d.Bias for or against a proposed action. There will be situations for each Councilmember where,
based upon their current or prior work or personal relationships, that Councilmember may not be
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 28 of 88
objective. In such an event, the Councilmember must give due consideration to their potential to
be predisposed, and whether they believe they can objectively consider and decide on the issue. If
the answer is yes, then the Councilmember may proceed. If this self-analysis is difficult as to
whether the Councilmember can be objective, but the determination is that they can, the
Councilmember should strongly consider disclosing the nature of the potential bias to the Council,
and then announce whether they believe they can or cannot proceed. If the Councilmember does
not believe they can be reasonably objective, they should recuse themselves from the discussion
and consideration. The purpose for recusal under such circumstances is that the Council wants
the public to have the utmost confidence that decisions are made objectively, and that all citizens
and businesses will be treated equally and fairly.
e.Process and Disclosure. When a Councilmember determines recusal is appropriate, or when it
is required by law, the Councilmember shall announce that they need to recuse themselves,
explain the factual circumstances, then step off the dais and out of the meeting place. A staff
member will retrieve the Councilmember once that issue is finished being discussed. The
determination of whether to recuse oneself from an issue, and then formally recusing, shall occur
before any discussion has taken place on that issue to ensure that Councilmember does not
participate in the matter in any fashion.
f.The following is an example of appropriate language where recusal is warranted:
Following careful analysis and consideration, I think it is appropriate for me to recuse myself from
any discussion and decision on this matter. I have known the owners of * business for * years, am
friends with them, and believe it would be most appropriate for me not to participate in this matter.
As such, I will recuse myself and step out of the room. OR
Following careful analysis and consideration, I think it is appropriate for me to recuse myself from
any discussion and decision on this matter. I own a business that competes directly with the
business at issue and believe it would be most appropriate for me not to participate in this matter.
As such, I will recuse myself and step out of the room.
g.The following is an example of appropriate language where the Councilmember determines that
he/she does not need to recuse themselves from the matter: Following careful analysis and
consideration, I think it is appropriate for me to participate in the discussion and decision on this
matter. Although I am somewhat familiar with this matter from my prior association with *, I believe
I can be objective and unbiased. As such, I will not recuse myself, and will participate with the rest
of the Council in the discussion and decision.
1819. Ordinances
a. Except for unusual circumstances or emergencies, ordinances and resolutions shall customarily
be prepared, introduced and proceed in normal fashion with an administrative report, then first and
ordinances or resolutions, such documents shall be designated as drafts.
b.A Councilmember may, in open session, request the city manager bring forth an ordinance for a
specific purpose.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 29 of 88
c.Ordinances shall normally have two separate readings at separate Council meetings. Unless
waived by the City Council at each reading, the title of an ordinance shall be read by the city clerk
prior to its passage. However, if a Councilmember requests that the entire ordinance or certain
sections be read, such request shall be granted. Printed copies shall be available upon request to
any person attending a Council meeting.
d.The provision requiring two separate readings of an ordinance may be waived at any meeting of
the Council by a majority vote of all members present. This would require a successful motion to
suspend the rules and pass the ordinance on a first reading.
e. If a motion to pass an ordinance to a second reading fails, the ordinance shall be considered lost,
unless a subsequent motion directs its revision and resubmission to a first reading.
f.Any ordinance repealing any portion of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code shall also repeal the
respective portions of the underlying ordinance(s). Ordinances repealing earlier ordinances shall not
apply to acts, incidents, transactions or decisions occurring before such repeal.
g.Council may not pass a franchise ordinance at a special meeting \[RCW 35A.47.040\].
h The passage of any ordinance, grant or revocation of franchise or license shall require the
affirmative vote of at least a majority of the whole membership of the Council. \[RCW 35A.13.170\]
i.The passage of any public emergency ordinance (an ordinance that takes effect immediately),
expenditures for any calamity, violence of nature, riot, insurrection, or war; and provisions for a
lesser emergency, such as a budget amendment (RCW 35A.33.090), shall require the affirmative
vote of at least a majority plus one of the whole membership of the Council. (RCW 35A.13.190).
j.Occasionally, an ordinance will be on an agenda the same night as a public hearing on the same
topic, such as a public hearing on a budget, amended budget, proposed tax, or moratorium, and an
ordinance approving that item. When that occurs, after the public hearing has been closed and
Council moves to the ordinance action item, public comment shall not be taken on the ordinance
since it was just taken as part of the public hearing process. Public comment will also not be taken
nd reading at a subsequent Council meeting. This procedure will also be
used if a public hearing on a specific issue is held before the Planning Commission; so that when the
resulting ordinance comes before Council, public comment will not be taken on either the first or the
second reading.
1920. Resolutions
a.A resolution may be approved on the same day it is introduced. While it is not necessary to have
the title of a resolution read aloud, Council may ask the city clerk to read the resolution title in order
to facilitate public understanding and/or comment. A Councilmember may request that the entire
resolution or certain sections be read, and such request shall be granted and the city clerk shall read
as requested. Printed copies shall be made available upon request to any person attending a Council
meeting.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 30 of 88
b.The passage of any resolution for the payment of money, any approval of warrants, and any
resolution for the removal of the city manager shall require the affirmative vote of at least a majority
of the whole membership of the Council.
c.Occasionally, a resolution will be on an agenda the same night as a public hearing on the same
topic, such as a public hearing on an amended Transportation Improvement Program, and a
Resolution approving that amendment. When that occurs, after the public hearing has been closed
and Council moves to the resolution action item, public comment shall not be taken on the
resolution since it was just taken as part of the public hearing process. This procedure will also be
used if a public hearing on a specific issue is held before the Planning Commission, which would
result in a resolution for Council consideration.
2021. Community Recognition Program
a.In an effort to acknowledge outstanding citizens, businesses and organizations who have made a
significant contribution, or have had or continue to have, a positive impact on the citizens of our
community, the Council has implemented a Community Recognition Program.
b.Eligibility: Must be a citizen/resident or an owner/operator of a business within Spokane Valley
City limits. City of Spokane Valley elected officials, staff members and their relatives are not eligible
for nomination, however, they may submit nominations. There is no limit to the number of
nominations one may submit.
c.Selection: will be made by the Mayor with confirmation by the Council. If selected, recognition
will take place at a City Council meeting and depending upon the nature of the nomination, the
honoree will be presented with a proclamation, certificate of appreciation, and/or a key to the city.
d.Process: Nominations shall be submitted on a Community Recognition Form, addressed to the
city clerk, and may be made at any time.
e.Selection of these recipient(s) will be held during a Council meeting, under the Agenda Item of
Special Guests/Presentations.
2122. Proclamations
a.Ceremonial proclamations not associated with the Community Recognition Program.
i.These proclamations are not statements of policy but are a means by which the City can
recognize an event, group or individual. As part of the ceremonial duties of the Mayor, the
Mayor is charged with approval of proclamations at his/her discretion; and reserves the right
to decline any proclamation request as well as the right to make exceptions to these
guidelines and procedures. Individual Councilmembers will not issue proclamations, and
requests for a proclamation should be directed to the Mayor or the city clerk.
ii.Proclamations will be considered for approval which will proclaim certain events or
causes when such proclamation positively impacts the community and conveys an
affirmative message to Spokane Valley residents. Proclamations will not be considered
which are potentially controversial, political or religious in nature, unless approved by the
majority of Councilmembers.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 31 of 88
iii.Proclamations can be issued at the discretion of the Mayor, and may be for organizations,
b.Procedure for proclamations to be read at a Council Meeting:
i.The person making the request need not be a Spokane Valley resident.
ii.Requests should be made at least four weeks in advance of the scheduled Council
meeting.
iii. The person asking for the proclamation should agree to be in attendance or have someone
attend in their stead.
iv.The city clerk will inform the requestor whether the proclamation request is approved.
v.The person making the request shall draft the proclamation and send it to the city clerk
once approval is given.
vi.The city retains the right to modify and/or edit the proposed proclamation as it sees fit
Format A meetings, which are
generally held the second and fourth Tuesdays; however, proclamations may be read at
Format B meetings due to scheduling conflicts.
c.For those instances where proclamations are requested for events other than to be read at an
open Council meeting, the same procedure as above shall be followed, but instead of having
someone at a Council meeting to officially receive the proclamation, the city clerk will mail the
proclamation to the requestor, or it can be hand-carried by the Councilmember attending the event
to read the proclamation.
d.Reading of these proclamations will take place at a Format A Council meeting.
2223. Taxes: Increasing or Imposing New Taxes
The Council strongly believes in fiscal restraint, and that increasing the tax burden on its property
owners and citizens by increasing or imposing new taxes should be avoided except as a last resort.
In addition to complying with all applicable statutory requirements, increasing or imposing new
taxes should only be done as follows:
a.As requested by the City Council, the City Manager in consultation with the finance director, shall
notify the city ccity attorney to prepare
a draft ordinance.
b.Within 14 days following notice to the city clerk, the city clerk shall publish a notice of public
hearing once a week for two consecutive weeks in the official newspaper of the City, stating:
i.T.
ii.The purpose of the hearing: that a tax increase or new tax has been proposed.
iii.That a copy of the proposed draft ordinance shall be furnished to any City taxpayer who
requests it; and
iv.That any city taxpayer may appear and provide verbal or written comment for or against
the proposed draft ordinance.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 32 of 88
c. Preceding such public hearing, staff will provide an administrative report to Council describing the
financial deficit and need for the increased or new tax; and if Council concurs and after the public
hearing, the proposed draft ordinance shall proceed as follows:
i.Proceed with a first reading of the proposed draft ordinance. (same or different meeting as
the public hearing)
ii.Second reading of the proposed draft ordinance at a subsequent meeting.
d.Approval of increasing or imposing new taxes requires an affirmative vote of a majority plus one
of the whole Council.
2324. Hearings \[note: See Appendix A, for quasi-judicial hearings\]
a.Purpose
i.Held to obtain public input on legislative decisions on matters of policy.
ii.Are required by state law in such matters as comprehensive plan use plans, or annual
budget.
iii.Do not involve legal rights of specific private parties in a contested setting.
iv.Affect a wide range of citizens or perhaps the entire jurisdiction.
v. Decisions reached as a result of these hearings are not second-guessed by the courts, and
if challenged, are reviewed only to determine if they are constitutional or violate state law.
b.Process
i.State statutes do not specify how public hearings should be conducted. Because
legislative hearings are generally informal, the main concern is to provide an opportunity for
all attending members of the public to speak if they desire. Individual comments shall be
limited to a specific amount of time as determined by the Presiding Officer, and the public
the conduct of the hearing may be stated by the Presiding Officer at the beginning of the
hearing:
the Mayor and Council, and any individual making comments shall first give their name
and city of residence. Speakers may be asked to spell their last name for the record.
c.Unless otherwise determined by the Presiding Officer, all public comments shall be
limited to three minutes per speaker and members of the public are not permitted to
give any of their own speaking time to other members of the public. This time is an
opportunity to hear from various members of the public in a limited public forum, and
not an opportunity for extended comments or dialogue.
d.At the discretion of the Presiding Officer, members of the public shall only speak
once per issue.
e.There shall be no demonstrations, applause or other audience participation, before,
take time away from the speakers.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 33 of 88
f.Unless read and/or handed in by the individual speaker during the public hearing,
previously received written public comments shall be read by the city clerk at the pleasure
of the Mayor. In the interest of time, the Mayor may limit the reading of such comments to the
clerk reading who the letter or written material is from, and if easily discernible, whether that
person is for or against the issue at hand. All written comments become an official part of the
record.
g.These rules are intended to promote an orderly system of holding a public hearing, to give
people an opportunity to be heard, and to ensure that individuals are not embarrassed by
exercising their right of free speech.
ii.The Presiding Officer declares that the public hearing on the topic at hand is open,
notes the time for such opening, and asks staff to make their presentation.
iii.After staff presentations, the Presiding Officer calls for public comments.
iv.The Presiding Officer asks if any members of Council have questions of any of the
speakers or staff. If any Councilmember has questions, the appropriate individual shall
be recalled to the podium.
v.The Presiding Officer declares the public hearing closed and notes the time for such
closing.
2425. Reconsideration
a.The purpose of reconsidering a vote is to permit change or correction of an erroneous action, or to
take into account added information or a changed situation that has developed since the taking of
the vote. Any action of the Council, including final action on applications for legislative changes in
land use status, shall be subject to a motion to reconsider except:
i.any action previously reconsidered;
ii.motions to adjourn or motions to suspend the rules;
iii.an affirmative vote to lay an item on, or take an item from, the table;
iv.previously passed motion to suspend the rules; or
v.a vote electing to office one who is present and does not decline.
b.Such motion for reconsideration:
i.Shall be reconsidered during the same Council meeting;
ii.Shall be called up when no business is pending (no action is pending);
iii.If action is pending, the Mayor asks the clerk to note that the motion to reconsider has
been made and shall be taken up when a member calls the motion to reconsider the vote
when no other business (action ) is pending;
iv.Shall be made by a member who voted on the prevailing side on the original motion. This
means a reconsideration can be moved only by one who voted aye if the motion involved was
adopted, or no if the motion was lost. It is permissible for a Councilmember who cannot
make such a motion, but believes there are valid reasons for one, to try to persuade someone
who voted on the prevailing side, to make such a motion.
v.A member who makes this motion should state that he or she voted on the prevailing side;
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 34 of 88
vi.Needs a second, and can be seconded by any member;
vii.Is debatable if the type of motion it reconsiders is debatable; and
viii.Is not amendable and requires a majority vote to adopt.
c.Step 1: A member of Council who voted on the prevailing side makes the motion, such as "I move
to reconsider the vote on the resolution relating to holidays. I voted for \[or against\] the resolution."
This motion needs a second, which can be seconded by any Councilmember.
d.Step 2: If the motion for reconsideration is adopted, the original motion is then placed before
Council as if that motion had not been voted on previously; and Council again takes that motion
under discussion, followed by a new vote.
e.Any motion for reconsideration of a matter which was the subject of a required public hearing or
which is a quasi-judicial matter, may not be discussed or acted upon unless and until the parties or
their attorneys and the persons testifying have been given at least five days advance notice of such
discussion and/or action.
2526. Council Materials
a.Council Material: Councilmembers and staff should read the agenda material and ask clarifying
questions of the city manager or other appropriate staff prior to the Council meeting when possible.
A good opportunity to do this is at the Advance Agenda meeting. Council recognizes there are times
when Councilmembers may wish to bring additional documentation to a meeting on a specific
subject, whether that subject is on the agenda or not, in order to share with Council and staff. When
possible, the materials should be distributed to Councilmembers and staff prior to the Council
meeting, or if distributed during a meeting, Councilmembers should indicate they would like the
materials considered for a future meeting, since except in an emergency, Councilmembers would
normally not take time at the dais to read material just received. Pre-scheduled materials Council
wishes to share as part of the Council packet could also be included on Format A or Format B
b.Council Packets: Councilmembers shall personally pick up their agenda packets from their city
desk, unless otherwise arranged by the Councilmember or further directed by Council.
The city
clerk shall prepare a digital/electronic agenda packet for individual Councilmembers, with hard
copies available upon request.
c. Packet Materials: Request for Council Action form (RCA): This is a cover sheet used by staff
to introduce an agenda item. It includes the agenda item title, citing of governing legislation
associated with the topic, previous Council action taken, and background on the topic.
Options for Council consideration are also included, as well as a staff recommended action
or motion. The options and recommended action or motion should be viewed as aids to
Council in making a motion or taking action, but should not be thought of as obligatory, as
Council always has the option of making a motion different from what is included on the
form. Generally, by the time an item is ready for a motion, Council has already read, heard,
and/or discussed the item at least three times (such as an informational item, an
administrative report, and lastly as an action item), and the wording of a motion would not
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 1: Council Meetings | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 35 of 88
normally be controversial, although it is important to state the motion as a motion, such as
2627
Decision makers and citizens at all levels of the city should have adequate time to thoroughly
consider the issues prior to final decisions. It is the intent of the Council that the Council and
guidelines are desi
personnel. Any request or proposal for adopting or changing public policy, ordinances, resolutions
or City Council directives which require a decision of the City Council or administration, should

use of legislative time at its meeting, staff may satisfy the first touch by issuing an informational
memorandum, unless the subject matter is complex in nature. Quasi-judicial matters and any
subject discussed in executive sessions are excluded from app
ision should also explain the timing
circumstances. This principle excludes staff reports and other general communications not
requiring a Council decision.

A.ELECTION OF OFFICERS
Procedures for electing officers are as follows:
1.Biennially, at the first meeting of the new Council, the members thereof shall choose a Presiding
Officer from their number who shall have the title of Mayor. In addition to the powers conferred upon
him/her as Mayor, he/she shall continue to have all the rights, privileges and immunities of a member
of the Council. If a permanent vacancy occurs in the office of Mayor, the members of the Council at
their next regular meeting shall select a Mayor from their number for the unexpired term. Following
the election of the Mayor, election of a Deputy Mayor shall be conducted in the same manner. The
term of the Deputy Mayor shall run concurrently with that of the Mayor. (RCW 35A.13.030) There are
no term limits for the office of Mayor or Deputy Mayor.
2. The election for Mayor shall be conducted by the city clerk. The city clerk shall call for nominations.
Each member of the City Council shall be permitted to nominate one person, and a nomination shall
not require a second. A nominee who wishes to decline the nomination shall so state at that time.
Nominations are then closed. The election for Deputy Mayor shall be conducted by the Mayor, and
nominations shall be made in the manner previously described for the election of the Mayor.
3.Except when there is only one nominee, election shall be by written ballot. Each ballot shall
contain the name of the Councilmember who cast it. Selection of Mayor and of Deputy Mayor shall
each be determined by majority vote of Councilmembers present. The city clerk shall publicly
announce the results of the election. Thereafter, the city clerk shall record the individual
Councilmember’s vote in the minutes of the meeting.
4. If the first round of votes results in no majority vote of Councilmembers present, the voting process
shall be repeated no more than two more times. During subsequent votes, Councilmembers do not
have to vote the same as they did in the previous vote. If after three attempts, Council is unable to
agree on a Mayor by majority vote of Councilmembers present, the office of Mayor shall be
temporarily filled by an Acting Mayor, which shall be the Councilmember who just previously served
as Mayor if that person is still a member of Council, or if the previous Mayor is no longer a
Councilmember, then by the Deputy Mayor, or if such person prefers not to serve as Mayor or if that
person is no longer a member of Council, the Councilmember with the next highest seniority. The
Acting Mayor shall continue in office and exercise such authority as is described in RCW 35A.13 until
the members of the Council agree on a Mayor, which shall be determined at the next scheduled
Council meeting, at which time the role of Acting Mayor shall cease and terminate.
5.At the next scheduled Council meeting voting for Mayor shall proceed in the same manner as the
initial first round of voting from the previous Council meeting, but Councilmembers shall only vote
on the Councilmembers who received the highest number of votes. If after three voting attempts,
there is still no majority vote of Councilmembers present, the vote shall be determined by whichever
Councilmember has the most votes at the third voting attempt. If at that time, there is a two-way tie
of Councilmembers receiving the most votes, the tie shall be broken based on the flip of a coin. The
City Manager shall flip the coin. If there are more than two Councilmembers tying with the most
votes, that tie shall be determined by another means of chance to narrow the Councilmembers down
to two, at which time the outcome shall be determined by written ballot.

B.FILLING COUNCIL VACANCIES
1.General Process (Note that public comment shall not be taken during this entire process)
If a vacancy occurs on the City Council, the Council shall follow the procedures outlined in RCW
35A.13.020 and Council’s adopted procedure in compliance with RCW 35A.13.020, as well as RCW
42.12.070. The timeline will vary depending on when the process begins. Pursuant to RCW
35A.13.020, City Council has 90 days from the vacancy to appoint a qualified person to the vacant
position. If this timeframe is not met, the City’s authority in this matter would cease and the Spokane
County Board of Commissioners would appoint a qualified person to fill the vacancy. In order to be
qualified to run for Spokane Valley City Council, or hold such position, a person must be \[RCW
42.04.020\] a citizen of the United States, 18 years of age or older, a resident of the City of Spokane
Valley for a year or more preceding his or her election, a registered voter in the City of Spokane Valley
at the time of filing the declaration of candidacy and at the time of filing the declaration of candidacy
if the candidate had ever been convicted of a felony, they must no longer be under the authority of
the Department of Corrections, or currently incarcerated for a felony.
Pursuant to RCW 42.12, remaining members of Council shall appoint a qualified person to fill the
vacancy as an interim position who will serve from the date of appointment until the person elected
in the November odd-numbered year general election takes office, which is the date the election
results are certified, normally around the 26th of November. (See also 35A.12.040) Immediately
upon the election being certified, that just-elected person will take the oath of office, take their
position as a member of Council, and complete the remainder of the unexpired term.
a.Procedure for Filling a Council Vacancy, Timeline/Procedure-Publication: The city clerk
shall publish the vacancy announcement inviting citizens of the City who are interested and
qualified to sit as a Councilmember, to apply on an application form provided by the city (see
Appendix E page 53 for application). Qualifications to sit as a Councilmember are set forth in
RCW 35A.13.020, which refers to RCW 35A.12.030: (1) must be a registered voter of the city
at the time of filing his or her declaration of candidacy; (2) has been a resident of the city for
a period of at least one year next preceding his or her election. Additional qualifications
include those stated above under #1 General Process, and that Councilmembers shall not
hold any other office or employment within the Spokane Valley city government \[RCW
35A.12.030\]. In order to avoid any real or perceived conflict of interest, no member of
Council's immediate family may be currently employed by the City of Spokane Valley since
employment is considered a contractual matter, and a councilmember would have a
prohibited interest in a contract between a family member who is an employee of the city,
and the city. (See Appendix G page 58 Definitions for description of immediate family.) If
possible, the vacancy announcement shall be published for three consecutive weeks.
b.The city clerk shall establish the deadline to receive applications, for example, no later
than 4:00 p.m. on a certain date.
c.RCW 42.30.110(1)(h), set a special meeting with an executive session beginning at 5:00
p.m. Council shall meet and adjourn to executive session to review and discuss all of the
applications. After the review and discussion, Council shall return to meeting place and the
Special Meeting shall be adjourned.
d.Hold a regular 6 p.m. meeting, same evening as above special meeting. Pursuant to RCW
42.30.110(1)(h), Council shall meet in open session and part of this agenda shall include
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 2: Legislative Process and Procedure | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 39 of 88
selection of applicants to interview. Selection shall be by nomination and second. A vote
shall be taken and candidates receiving a majority vote of those councilmembers present,
shall be interviewed. Immediately after this Council meeting or as soon as practicable, the
clerk shall send a list of potential questions to all those to be interviewed.
e.Schedule the conducting of the interviews for an upcoming Council meeting. Pursuant to
RCW 42.30.110(1)(h), the interviews shall be conducted during an open Council meeting.
Each interview shall be a maximum of 30 minutes.
f.Schedule a special 5 p.m. meeting with an executive session. Pursuant to RCW
42.30.110(1)(h), Council shall meet and adjourn to executive session (closed session) to
discuss applicants. After the discussion, the Special Meeting shall be adjourned as usual.
g.Hold a regular 6 p.m. meeting, same evening as “f” above special meeting. Pursuant to
RCW 42.30.110(1)(h), Council shall meet in open session; and the last action item of that
agenda will include a vote to fill the vacancy. Upon selection of the new Councilmember, that
person shall be sworn in by the city clerk and take their seat at the dais.
2.Nomination Options for Conducting Interviews
a.After holding an executive session to review applications, during a subsequent open session, any
Councilmember may:
i.Nominate an applicant to be interviewed
ii.The nomination must be seconded
iii.Councilmembers may make more than one nomination, but only one at a time
iv.The Mayor shall ask if there are further nominations
v.If no further nominations, the Mayor shall close the nominations
vi.Votes shall be taken on each applicant in the order of nomination
vii.Votes shall be by raised hand
viii.Applicants receiving a majority of votes of those Councilmembers present, shall be
interviewed
ix.Once all voting has taken place, the city clerk shall summarize which applicants shall be
interviewed based on the voting outcome. As soon as possible after the Council meeting, the
city clerk shall notify each applicant to inform them if they will or will not be interviewed;
notify those to be interviewed of the date and time for their interview, and send each person
to be interviewed, the list of possible interview questions; or
x.Instead of the above nomination process, after holding an executive session to review
applications, Council may choose to interview all applicants.
b.The length of the interview shall be determined based upon the number of applicants and
interviews shall be done in last-name alphabetical order. The city clerk shall notify all applicants of
the date, time and procedure for their interview. To keep the process as fair as possible, on the date
of the interview, applicants not yet interviewed shall be asked to wait in a waiting area outside the
meeting place and away from viewing or hearing the meeting’s proceedings.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 2: Legislative Process and Procedure | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 40 of 88
c.If during open session, Council has nominated only one person to interview, or in the case of more
than one vacancy, one person per vacancy, Council may forego the interview process and move to
make the appropriate appointment.
3.Interview Questions/Process
During the interview, each Councilmember may ask each candidate a maximum of three questions,
which includes any follow-up questions. Candidates shall be interviewed in alphabetical order of
last name.
4.Nomination and Voting Process to Select Applicant
a.Nomination Process: Councilmembers may nominate an applicant to fill the vacancy. A second
is required. If no second is received, that applicant shall not be considered further unless no
applicant receives a second, in which case all applicants who were nominated may be considered
again. Councilmembers may not make more than one nomination unless the nominee declines the
nomination and unless there is no second to the nomination; in which case the Councilmember
makes another nomination. Once the nominations are given, the Mayor shall close the nominations
and Council shall proceed to vote.
b.Voting Process. RCW 42.12.070 states that where one position is vacant, the remaining members
of the governing body shall appoint a qualified person to fill the vacant position. By adoption of this
policy, Council has chosen the following process for making such appointment:
i.Except when there is only one nominee, a vote for an applicant shall be by written ballot.
Each ballot shall contain the name of the Councilmember who cast it.
ii.The vacancy may only be filled when a majority of the remaining City Council (whether
present or not) affirmatively votes for the applicant, i.e. if five City Councilmembers are
present, this would require at least four Councilmembers voting for an applicant. If
subsequent rounds of voting are needed, each round of voting follows the same process. The
Mayor may ask for Council discussion between voting rounds.
iii.Round One Vote: The city clerk shall publicly announce the results of the election. The
applicant receiving the majority of votes shall be the new Councilmember. If no applicant
receives a majority of votes from the City Council, then the three applicants receiving the
most affirmative votes would be considered in a second round.
iv.Round Two Vote: Round Two proceeds the same as Round One. If one of the three
applicants still fails to receive a majority of affirmative votes, then the two applicants of the
three who received the most affirmative votes would then be considered in a third round; or
if there are only two applicants and they receive tie votes, a third round shall be taken.
Councilmembers may change their vote between rounds.
v.Round Three Vote: Round Three proceeds the same as Rounds One and Two. If after this
round, the vote of the two applicants results in a tie, then the city manager, with concurrence
of Council shall flip a coin to determine who shall fill the vacancy, with the applicant whose
last name is closest to the letter A being assigned “heads” and the other person assigned
“tails.” In the rare circumstance where both applicants' last name begins with the same
letter of the alphabet, the applicant whose entire last name is closest to the letter A shall be
assigned “heads” and the other person assigned “tails.” In the equally rare circumstance
where both applicants have the same last name, the applicant whose first name is closest
to the letter A shall be assigned “heads” and the other person assigned “tails.”
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 2: Legislative Process and Procedure | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 41 of 88
5.Seating of New City Councilmember
Once an applicant either has received a majority of votes or wins the coin flip, if the appointed
applicant is at the meeting, the city clerk shall administer the oath of office, and the new
Councilmember shall be officially seated as a City Councilmember. If the appointed applicant is not
at the meeting, such action is not official until the applicant takes the oath of office.
C.LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
Councilmembers work each year (or sometimes every two years) to draft a State and a Federal
“legislative agenda” to address Council ideas, suggestions and specific legislative programs in
terms of upcoming or pending legislative activity in Olympia and Washington, D.C. that would or
could have an effect on the city. These agendas can also be addressed during Council’s participation
in the Association of Washington Cities (AWC)annual conference, and the annual National League
of Cities Conference held in Washington, D.C.
D.COUNCIL TRAVEL ALLOCATION
Council is allocated a budget to handle certain city business-related travel expenses. The total
allocation of travel funding budgeted for the legislative branch for the fiscal year shall be apportioned
equally among six Councilmembers, and the Mayor may receive additional funding based on the
extra travel demands of the office. These monies may be used to defray expenses for transportation,
lodging, meals and incidental expenses incurred in the conduct of city business. Periodic updated
statements of expenditures are available to Councilmembers upon request to the Finance
Department or the city manager’s executive assistant. Should a Councilmember exhaust their
apportionment of funds, that person shall be personally responsible for payment of any travel and
related expenses unless they have requested and received written affirmation from another
Councilmember of their voluntary allocation to grant the travel related expenses from that granting
Councilmember’s travel apportionment. Such granting of travel allocations shall be documented
with the appropriate completed form (see Appendix F, page 57). During the last six months of a
Councilmember’s current term of office, Councilmembers shall not incur city business-related
travel expenditures outside a 50 mile radius unless such travel fulfills the obligations of the
Councilmember’s service on statewide or regional boards, commissions or task forces.
E.COUNCIL EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT POLICY
1.Travel Approval and Expense
a.General Travel: Councilmembers are entitled to payment of and reimbursement for lawful
expenditures incurred on official city business when such expenditures are within the allotted
budget. The city shall not reimburse Councilmembers for meals or beverages with constituents
when there is not at least a quorum present as that would not be considered official city business.
The city shall not reimburse an expense associated with fundraising or political events. The city shall
also not reimburse an expense if that expense is reimbursable by another agency. Each
Councilmember shall be permitted to travel within the constraints of each Councilmember’s
allotted budget, which may also include donated allocation(s) from another Councilmember(s). (See
Appendix F page 77 for Request Form.)
b.Allowable Travel Expense. Allowed travel expenses include transportation, lodging, meals, and
other related expenditures lawfully incurred by Councilmembers in the course and scope of their
Councilmember duties.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 2: Legislative Process and Procedure | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 42 of 88
i.Meals, transportationand lodging are reimbursed at a cost a cost deemed customary and
reasonable. Meal receipts shall be itemized to receive reimbursement.
ii.Tips are allowable expenditures when they approximate 15% or less, unless the personal
service provider sets a mandatory group rate at a higher percentage, or the tip is already
included in the expenditure. Please carefully examine your bill and be aware of statements
such as “A service charge of __%/$ will be added to your bill.” Reimbursement for tips is
limited to meals, valet services, and taxi/ride share transportation.
iii.Lodging is reimbursed for the actual cost of the room, minus any room extras. A receipt is
required for reimbursement.
iv.When staff is making and paying for air travel arrangements, airline trip insurance may be
purchased on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the City Manager. Times when such
trip insurance may be purchased include necessary travel when the weather is questionable.
v.Mileage shall be reimbursed according to the current IRS mileage rates for traveled miles
as determined by such websites Google maps, or other internet apps or mileage distance
calculators, using the shortest route between two places.
c.Non-Reimbursement or Prohibition of Travel Expense.
Unauthorized travel expenses include but are not limited to the following items, for which no
reimbursement shall be allowed:
i.Alcoholic beverages
ii.Expense of a spouse or other persons not authorized to receive reimbursement under this
policy
iii.Personal entertainment/movies

F.BALLOT MEASURES:
1.State Law
RCW 42.17A 555. State law has enacted statutory prohibitions (with limited exceptions) against the
use of public facilities to support or oppose ballot propositions:
“No elective official nor any employee of his or her office nor any person appointed to or
employed by any public office or agency may use or authorize the use of any of the
facilities of a public office or agency, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a
campaign for election of any person to any office or for the promotion of or opposition to
any ballot proposition. Facilities of a public office or agency include, but are not limited
to, use of stationery, postage, machines, and equipment, use of employees of the office
or agency during working hours, vehicles, office space, publications of the office or
agency, and clientele lists of persons served by the office or agency. However, this does
not apply to the following activities:
(1)Action taken at an open public meeting by members of an elected legislative
body or by an elected board, council, or commission of a special purpose district
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Chapter 2: Legislative Process and Procedure | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 44 of 88
including, but not limited to, fire districts, public hospital districts, library districts,
park districts, port districts, public utility districts, school districts, sewer districts,
and water districts, to express a collective decision, or to actually vote upon a
motion, proposal, resolution, order, or ordinance, or to support or oppose a ballot
proposition so long as (a) any required notice of the meeting includes the title and
number of the ballot proposition, and (b) members of the legislative body,
members of the board, council, or commission of the special purpose district, or
members of the public are afforded an approximately equal opportunity for the
expression of an opposing view.
(2)A statement by an elected official in support of or in opposition to any ballot
proposition at an open press conference or in response to a specific inquiry;
(3)Activities which are part of the normal and regular conduct of the office or
agency.” \[emphasis added\]
2.City’s Implementation of RCW 42.17A.555
In the city’s implementation of RCW 42.17A.555, the City Council shall not, during any part of any
Council meeting, consider requests from outside agencies or individuals, for Council to support or
oppose ballot measures; nor shall Council permit any public comment on any past, current, or future
possible/proposed ballot issue, whether or not such comments seek endorsement or are just to
inform Council of upcoming or proposed ballot issues; nor shall Councilmembers disseminate
ballot-related information.
3.Providing Informative Materials to Council
The requestor has the option of mailing materials to individual Councilmembers via the United
States Postal Office (USPS). Because even the use of email for ballot purposes could be construed
as use of public facilities and could be interpreted as being in violation of RCW 42.17A.555, materials
should be sent via regular mail through USPS. Information shall be objective only and not soliciting
a pro or con position.
4.Public Comment
Council has determined that ballot issues (including past, current, or possible/proposed ballot
issue) are not the business of the city, and has chosen not to support or oppose ballot issues as
those are left to the will of the people voting. The use of any of the city’s facilities including the use
of the Council chambers, other meeting location, and/or broadcast system would likely be
construed as being in violation of RCW 42.17A.555 and therefore, general public comment on ballot
issues, or proposed ballot issues shall not be permitted. (See page Chapter 1, C Public Comments
for more specific direction on allowable public comment)

invitations for mayoral comments at various functions, nor requests for appointments or other
incidental contact between citizens and the office of the Mayor.
2.Concerns, Complaints and Suggestions to Council
When citizen concerns, complaints or suggestions are brought to any, some, or all Councilmembers,

i.If legislative, and a concern or complaint is about the language or intent of legislative acts
or suggestions for changes to such acts, and if such complaint suggests a change to an
ordinance or resolution of the City, the matter may be referred, with Council consensus, to
committee, administration, or to the Council for study and recommendation.
ii.If administrative, and a concern or complaint regards administrative staff performance,
execution of legislative policy or administrative policy within the authority of the City

City Manager brief the Council when the City Manager's response is made.
3.Administrative Complaints Made Directly to Individual Councilmembers
a.When administrative policy or administrative performance complaints are made directly to
individual Councilmembers, the Councilmember should then refer the matter directly to the city
manager for review and/or action. The individual Councilmember may request to be informed of the

4.Administrative Interference by Councilmembers
Neither the Council nor any of its committees or members shall direct or request the appointment
of any person to, or his/her removal from, any office by the city manager or any of his/her
subordinates. Except for the purpose of inquiry, the Council and its members shall deal with the
administrative branch solely through the city manager and neither the Council nor any committee or

pertaining to appointments and removals of city officers and employees and city affairs. (RCW
35A.13.120.)
5.Informal Communications Encouraged

do not involve orders, direction, or are meant to influence actions or administrative policy. Members
of the Council are encouraged to interact informally and casually with city staff for the purpose of
gathering information, obtaining explanations of policies and programs or providing incidental
information to staff relevant to their assignment. Such informal contacts can serve to promote better
understanding of specific city functions and problems. However, Councilmembers must be careful
in such interaction to avoid giving direction or advice to members of city staff. While maintaining
open lines of communication, city staff responding to information requests from Councilmembers
shall inform their supervisor of such contact and provide the supervisor with the same information
shared with the Councilmember.

appointment of committee members, shall also require confirmation by the Council, which shall be
by majority vote of those present at the time the vote takes place. By majority vote, Council can reject

make another recommendation, or the appointment may be postponed to a later date, giving city
staff opportunity to further advertise for committee openings. This process also applies to the annual
appointment of Councilmembers to Committees and Boards, which is usually done during the first
few weeks of January.

Bodies to Which They Are Appointed

concern within each board. As liaisons and representatives of the city, it is the duty of
Councilmembers to remember that their sole purpose in attending these meetings and participating

meetings, Councilmembers may not act as a representative of any other business, group or
organization without the express consent of the Council.

statutory boards, commissions, or committees on which they serve and participate.

requests that any such communication be officially answered by the Council, the Presiding Officer
may place the matter on an upcoming agenda for a specific Council meeting or take other
appropriate action.

Chapter 1(B)(4), this committee generally meets at a fixed weekly time to review the Council
agenda of the upcoming meeting as an opportunity to ask questions and/or request
additional materials or research needed for the impending meeting, and to review the
Advance Agenda, which is a planning document to aid in scheduling items on future Council
agendas. Since this is a standing committee of the Mayor, Deputy Mayor, city manager, and
city Clerk, no committee appointments are necessary.
f.Public Safety Committee 5- 6 members
This is an ad hoc committee that meets on an as-needed basis to discuss and provide input
into critical pending public safety issues. With the
extensive number of issues facing the city related to public safety, this committee will allow
discussion on issues in a timelier manner and in advance of full city Council discussions.
Meetings will be called by the city manager and deputy city manager, and both will attend the
committee meetings. This committee will sunset as determined by recommendation from
the Mayor, with approval of the Council.
2.When required by law, committee meetings should be open to the public, including the media,
unless discussing matters which would qualify for an executive session if discussed within the whole

The Council recognizes there are various other private committees, boards and commissions
(, such as Spokane Neighborhood
Action Partners (SNAP), which appointments are made by their own board. These boards and
committees do not require an appointment by our Mayor or confirmation by our Council but are
nonetheless important aspects of our community and we recognize the time commitment any
Councilmember may extend as a member of any of those committees and/or boards. As well,
Council appreciates hearing a periodic report or update on activities and issues surrounding those
boards and committees.
However, a Councilmember sitting on such a committee, board, or commission may only participate
in their capacity as a private citizen. Councilmembers are prohibited from (a) acting on such

affirmative action, their committee participation as being on behalf of or as a representative of the
city; and/or (c) using city funds or resources for purposes related to their participation on the
committee, or to otherwise further the interests of any committee.

Page 66 of 88
A.COPIES
Councilmembers and the public are highly encouraged to access city documents electronically in
order to decrease the amount of paper, toner, ink, etc. used in generating paper documents, thereby
lowering city expenditures. Paper documents will always be made available upon request.
While Councilmembers are permitted the use of city copy machines, paper, toner, ink, etc., they are
limited to no more than a total of ten pages per week in advance of Council meetings.
B.OUT-OF-STATE TRAVEL POLICY
Out-of-state travel for city business involving more than one day requires Councilmembers to notify
the City Council during a regular or special City Council meeting. All notifications of out-of-state
travel should be made no later than one week prior to the beginning of the travel. Travel to Idaho or
Oregon are exceptions to this provision.
C.DRESS CODE POLICY
Councilmembers should dress in business attire when publicly representing the City as a
Councilmember, including at City Council meetings, during interviews, and when participating in any
meetings with external attendees whether at City Hall or another location.
Examples of business attire include skirts, dresses, slacks, khakis, trousers, blouses, collared
shirts, button-down shirts, sport coats, blazers, and sweaters. Jeans, t-shirts, shorts, athletic wear,
or sports clothing are not considered business attire and should not be worn.
The exception to business attire may be at community events such as Valleyfest, Spokane Valley
Farmers Market, etc. where casual clothing may be more appropriate.
D.VOLUNTEERS/LEGISLATIVE ASSISTANTS
Councilmembers are required to attend to their own duties and responsibilities and therefore, shall
not advertise for or retain volunteer legislative assistants to conduct these duties. This provision is
intended to prevent unauthorized access to City systems and facilities. If assistance is needed for
certain tasks, Councilmembers are encouraged to discuss their needs with the City Manager, who

APPENDIX A
Quasi-Judicial Hearings
1.Purpose
Quasi-judicial public hearings involve the legal rights of specific parties, and the decisions made as
a result of such hearings must be based upon and supported by the “record” developed at the
hearing. Quasi-judicial hearings are subject to stricter procedural requirements than legislative
hearings. Most quasi-judicial hearings held by local government bodies involve land use matters,
including site specific rezones, preliminary plats, variances, and conditional uses. (MRSC Public
Hearings When and How to Hold Them by Bob Meinig, MRSC Legal Consultant August 1998)
2.Specific Statutory Provisions
a.Candidates for the City Council may express their opinions about pending or proposed
quasi-judicial actions while campaigning, pursuant to RCW 42.36.040, except that sitting
Councilmembers shall not express their opinions on any such matter which is or may come before
the Council.
b.Ex-parte communications should be avoided whenever possible. During the pendency of any
quasi-judicial proceeding, no Councilmember may engage in ex-parte communications with
proponents or opponents about a proposal involved in the pending proceeding unless the
Councilmember: (1) places on the record the substance of such verbal or written communications;
and (2) provides that a public announcement of the content of the communication and of the parties’
rights to rebut the substance of the communication shall be made at each hearing where action is
taken or considered on the subject. This does not prohibit correspondence between a citizen and
his or her elected official if the correspondence is made a part of the record, when it pertains to the
subject matter of a quasi-judicial proceeding. (RCW 42.36.060)
3.Actions/Procedures for a Quasi-Judicial Public Hearing

AMENDED GENERAL POLICY RESOLUTION OF CORE BELIEFS
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY AMENDING RESOLUTION 03-027, ESTABLISHING
A GENERAL POLICY RESOLUTION EMANATING FROM THE CORE BELIEFS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
AND COMMUNITY AND SETTING FORTH DUTIES OF BOTH ELECTED AND APPOINTED OFFICIALS OF
THE CITY TO HELP GUIDE LEGISLATIVE AND EXECUTIVE DECISIONS TOWARD EFFECTIVE,
RESPONSIVE, AND OPEN GOVERNMENT
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, as the elective legislative body, is charged
with promulgating Ordinances and Resolutions which become the law of the city; and
WHEREAS, such Ordinances and Resolutions must provide enforceable provisions subordinate to,
and in harmony with, all other applicable federal and state statutes and regulations; and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to provide a clear set of general policy guidelines for the conduct
of city government;
Section 1. Modifying Resolution 03-027 as set forth below by adding new section 7. The
remainder of the resolution 03-027 is unchanged:
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley does hereby affirm and resolve
that the following core beliefs shall serve as guidelines for the conduct of affairs by all branches of
Spokane Valley City Government.
Section 1. We believe that Spokane Valley should be a visionary city encouraging its citizens and
their government to look to the future beyond the present generation and to bring
such ideas to public discussion and to enhance a sense of community identity.
Section 2. We believe that elected body decision-making is the only lawful and effective way to
conduct the public’s legislative business and that careful observance of a clear set
of Governance Coordination rules of procedure can best enhance public
participation and decision making.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Appendix B: Resolution 07-019 Core Beliefs | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 70 of 88
Section 3.We believe in the City Council as policy leaders of the City. One or more City
Councilmembers are encouraged to take the lead, where practical, in sponsoring
Ordinances or Resolutions excepting quasi-judicial or other public hearings and the
statutory duties of the City Manager as set forth in RCW 35A.13.020.
Section 4. We believe in hearing the public view. We affirm that members of the public should
be encouraged to speak and be heard through reasonable rules of procedure when
the public business is being considered, thus giving elected officials the broadest
perspectives from which to make decisions.
Section 5. We believe that the City of Spokane Valley’s governance should be known as “user
friendly,” and that governance practices and general operations should consider
how citizens will be served in the most responsive, effective and courteous manner.
Section 6. We believe that the economic and commercial job base of the community should be
preserved and encouraged to grow as an alternative to increasing property taxes. We
believe it imperative to have an expanded and diverse economic base.
Section 7. We believe that Councilmembers set the tone for civic discussion and should set an
example by:
(a)Setting high standards of decorum and civility.
(b) Encouraging open and productive conversation amongst themselves and with the
community about legislative matters.
(c)Demonstrating respect for divergent points of view expressed by citizens, fellow
Councilmembers and the staff.
(d)Honoring each other and the public by debating issues within City Hall and the
Community without casting aspersions on members of Council, the staff, or the
public.
(e)Accepting the principle of majority rule and working to advance the success of
“corporate” decisions.
Section 8. We solicit the City Manager’s support in conducting the affairs of the city with due
regard for:
(a)Promoting mutual respect between the Citizens, City staff and the City Council by
creating the organizational teamwork necessary for effective, responsive and open
government.
(b) Providing the City Council and public reasonable advance notice when issues are
to be brought forward for discussion.
(c)Establishing and maintaining a formal city-wide customer service program with
emphasis on timely response, a user-friendly atmosphere, and an attitude of
facilitation and accommodation within the bounds of responsibility, integrity, and
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Appendix B: Resolution 07-019 Core Beliefs | May 13, 2025 Draft
Page 71 of 88
financial capability of the city, including organizational and job description
documents while pursuing “best practices” in customer service.
(d)Seeking creative ways to contain or impede the rising cost of governmental
services, including examination of private sector alternatives in lieu of
governmentally provided services.
(e)Providing a database of future projects and dreams for the new City of Spokane
Valley so that good ideas from its citizens and leaders are not lost and the status of
projects can be readily determined.

Dictionary, April 2001\] \[Wikipedia: explains it as a group decision making process, or Does anyone
object?\] It is not unanimity, but more a process for deciding what is best overall. Members of the
group reach a decision to which they consent because they know it is the best one overall. It differs
from voting which is a procedure for tallying preferences. It does not require each member of the
group to justify their feelings. \[Taken from: Consensus Is Not Unanimity: Making Decisions
Cooperatively, by Randy Schutt.”\] Similar to a type of verbal “show of hands” on who feels
particularly strong on this?” Sometimes thought of as preliminary approval without taking final

Councilmember Social Media Policy
OFFICIAL COUNCILMEMBER-SPECIFIC SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS
Council expressly recognizes that communication between Councilmembers and members of the
public is a necessary part every Councilmember to represent the will and
interests of the public. Councilmembers are therefore authorized and encouraged to communicate
with the public about City business in performing their Councilmember role and duty to faithfully
represent City residents. To facilitate this communication, Councilmembers may choose to create
and maintain a Councilmember-specific social media account ial Councilmember
, such as on Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and/or Instagram, to communicate with
constituents as part of their Councilmember role. When doing so, Councilmembers agree to the
following guidelines:
Requirements:
1.Before setting up an official Councilmember social media account on any given platform,
you must receive written verification from the c
platform is sufficiently compatible with the c
that all content, including posts and comments, is archived for public records retention.
Such verification may be by email from the IT manager to you. If the IT manager does not
provide the above verification, then you are not able to establish a Councilmember-specific
account on that particular social media platform.
2.Create the account using your @SpokaneValleyWA.gov email alias. On Facebook, per
Facebook policy,
3.When creating official Councilmember accounts, include:
Â
first last name)
Â
 Identifiable, official Councilmember photo (can be provided by city staff)
Â
4.Familiarize yourself with and adhere to the City of Spokane Valley Social Media Policy,
outlined in Administrative Policy and Procedure No. 300.020 Communications Policy.
5.Contact the c
handles. The IT manager or designee will associate your account with the c
archiving platform, currently Page Freezer, to ensure that all content, including posts and
comments, is archived for public records retention. Content on official Councilmember
accounts are public records, including but not limited to those that may be public record if it
relates to the conduct of government or the performance of your office. Costs for the social

budgets.
5.6.When posting in the capacity of Councilmember any
by using an official Councilmember accountwith content
defined as city business, the Councilmember re must ensure be a mechanism is in place for
archivingbacking up the posts. Before making such posts, each Councilmember is
responsible for verifying with the city
platform archives such posts. If the social media archiving platform does not archive said
posts, then the Councilmember is responsible for (a) ensuring all such posts are preserved
by other means that are adequate for Washington Public Records Act purposes, and (b)
th
provide the city deputy city clerk with copies of said preserved records by the 5 calendar
day of each month. For the preservation to be adequate, the Councilmember must ensure
that the preserved content includes sufficient context surrounding their posts (including
comments/responses of third parties, images, gifs, etc.) to enable a person reviewing the
preserved records to fully understand the post and any responses thereto without needing
to review content that has not been preserved.
6.7.Be aware that the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) applies to social
media/electronic platform interactions between elected officials just as it does to in-person
or phone interactions. Please do not have a discussion of agency business publicly or
privately on social media, because if it constitutes a quorum, you may be in violation of the
OPMA. An OPMA prohibited meeting may be deemed to have occurred electronically when a
quorum is ultimately involved and a discussion of city business occurs.
7.8.Be aware that all posts, comments and content are public records when they are set
forth on an official city account and may constitute speech protected by the constitutions of
Washington and the United States of America. Councilmembers shall not delete their posts,
comments or content
official social media accounts shall not be deleted unless the content at issue violates the
Administrative Policy and Procedure No. 300.020
Communications Policy.
8.9.The Council desires to ensure Council remains in compliance with the OPMA. The
Council therefore agrees that this policy prevents any individual Councilmember from (a)

must provide all copies of such posts to the city before the end of their term.
Recommendations:
11.12.For best practices, post regularly (suggested minimal post of once per week).
Accounts that are not actively used should be closed or hidden.
12.13.Keep your followers informed of city events, projects and opportunities to get
involved and inform city decision-making by sharing City of Spokane Valley social media
messages.
PERSONAL OR CAMPAIGN SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS OF INDIVIDUAL
COUNCILMEMBERS
Councilmembers who maintain a personal or campaign social media account shall:
1.Use a personal or campaign email alias. Do not use an @SpokaneValleyWA.gov alias to set
up and manage any personal or campaign account. State law prohibits the use of official city
accounts for campaign purposes so all campaign-related social media communications
must be made on personal or campaign accounts. Campaign purposes include supporting
or opposing any candidate for public office and supporting or opposing any ballot
proposition.
City of Spokane Valley | Governance Manual | Appendix H: Social Media Policy | April 30, 2025 Draft | 3
Page 87 of 88
2.Post a disclaimer on your personal account that identifies the account purpose and that the
opinions expressed are your own.
3.Not write posts on personal or campaign accounts that relate to the conduct of city
government or the performance of your office. Merely posting Council agendas or
information regarding city events or providing general information regarding the City
activities is not conducting city business and will not convert your personal post or the posts
of others into public records. Personal communications that are not related to the conduct
of government or the performance of your office are not public records. However, if you use
your personal account to transact city business or otherwise further the performance of your
office, then any posts or comments generated in doing so may be public records.
4.Not link private or campaign accounts to a city account, with the exception of Facebook
requirements for setting up a Facebook page.
5.Refrain from discussing personal or campaign accounts in public meetings or documents.
6.Not use city devices to maintain or access personal or campaign private accounts.

2025 End of Session Legislative Report
May5, 2025-DRAFT
Dear Spokane Valley City Council,
It was a pleasure to advocate for the City of Spokane Valley throughout the 2025 legislative
session. It was a long, 105-day session. I am pleased to report that the City was successful in
accomplishing several of the objectives outlined on the City’s 2025 Legislative Agenda.
At a high level, the 2025 legislative session was driven by debate over the state’s budget
shortfall and other Democrat-led priorities such as rent control, recycling reform, and tax
reform.Democrats held the majority in the House of Representatives (59-39) and the Senate
(30-19). Legislators had the challenging task of balancing thestate’s biennial operating, capital,
and transportationbudgets. A total of 2,387pieces of legislation were introduced this session,
and the Legislature approved 431 bills. Additionally, Governor Bob Ferguson was inaugurated as
th
Governor of Washington State. The first months of his tenureweremarked bytensions
the 24

Republicans and moderate Democratsas opposed to progressive Democrats.

A.Key Legislative Focus Items
Spokane Valley Sport Courts
The City requested $800,000 for the construction of two basketball courts and four pickleball
courts at Balfour Parkfrom the state’s Capital Budget. The final 2025-27 Capital Budget includes
$415,000 for this project.
We coordinated with the City’s legislators – Sen. Leonard Christian, Rep.
Rep. Rob Chase – to submit a request to capital budget writers for $800,000.Of the state’s
three budgets, the Capital Budget was anticipated to bethe most stable as it is funded with
bond revenues. While the most stable, there was a high demand on the Capital Budget. Budget
writers received 10 requests for every 1 that wasfunded.
The House and Senate each released a Capital Budget proposal. The Senate proposal included
$415,000 for the Spokane Valley Sport Courtsin the Local and Community Project Account;
however, the House proposal did not.When the House and Senate reconciled the differences
between the two proposed Capital Budgets, $415,000 for the Sports Court projectwas retained
in the final 2025-27 Capital Budget submitted to the Governor to be signed into law.
Barker/I-90 Interchange
The City requested $1 millionfor the design phase of the Barker/I-90 Interchange. Leading into
the legislative session, transportation budget writers cautioned that transportation revenues
had declined while project costs had increased, causing a $1 billion shortfall in the 2025-27
Transportation Budget, and a multi-billion-dollarshortfall over the next six years. The City
requested a modestamount of fundingin light of this fiscal environment.
GTH-GOV
2
The House and Senate each released their respectiveTransportation Budget proposals. The
House proposal did not allocate funding toanynew projects, proposed just over $3 billion in
new revenue over the next six years, and delayed several existing projects. The Senate released
two proposals: one with no revenue and a second with over $4 billion in new revenue over the
next six years. In the “no new revenue” proposal, no new projects were funded,and several
existing projects were delayed. In the “new revenue” proposal, several projects, including the
Barker I-90 Interchange, were included on a list of projects that could be eligible for new
funding. The proposal did not outline how much funding would be allocated to projects or
when butinstead directedthe Washington State Department of Transportation(WSDOT)to
make recommendations on funding amounts and phasing for consideration by the 2026
Legislature. The House and Senate reconciled differences between their two proposals. The
final 2025-27 Transportation submitted to the Governor for signaturedid not allocate funding
to any new projects. As a result, the Barker I-90 Interchange was not allocated funding. For
additional budget details,see the attached budget overview document.
Grant funding for Balfour Playground and Spray Park
The City applied for grant awards for the Balfour Playground and Spray Park throughgrant
programs administered bythe Recreation and Conservation Office.After applying for the
grants, the City was ranked 7th for a $2 million award from the Land Water Conservation Fund
and ranked 3rd for a $500,000 award from the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program’s
Local Parks program to develop a signature playground and spray park. Both grant awards are
subject to appropriation through the 2025-27 Capital Budget. The final 2025-27 Capital Budget
appropriated sufficient funds to both theLand Water Conservation Fund and the Washington
Wildlife Recreation Programto allow both grants to be awarded.
Clarifying Administrative Fee Collected on Document Recording Fees
The City requested legislation to clarify the administrative fee that Spokane County collects on
document recording fee revenues distributed to the City of Spokane Valley to fund housing and
homelessness. At the City’s request,House Bill 1260was introduced by Rep.
rdrd
(R-4th LD), Rep. Timm Ormsby (D-3LD), and Rep. Natasha Hill (D-3LD).
As background, Washington State imposes a $183 document recording fee to fund housing and
homelessness. Of the funds generated by the fee, 30% is retained by each county where the fee
is collected. Of the 30% retained by the county, 75% is statutorily directed to be spent on
accomplishing the county’s local homeless and housing plan. Cities have the option to assume
responsibility for housing and homelessness in their jurisdiction and receive a direct distribution
of these funds based on the real estate excise taxes generated in the city. The City of Spokane
In 2023, the Legislature streamlined the document recording fee statute. Under the new
statutory construction, it became unclear whether the county can collect a 10% administrative
fee on the portion of the revenue passed through to a city that assumes responsibility for
housing and homelessness in itsjurisdiction. House Bill1260clarifies that the city collects the
GTH-GOV
3
administrative charge, not the county,and that the overall amount dedicated to administration
is capped at 10%. The bill advanced through the legislative process with minimal opposition
after being amended in the first committee to address concerns from Spokane and King County.
The Governor signed the bill into lawon April 27, 2025. The new law will be effective on July 27,
2025.
Increase Cannabis Tax Revenues to Cities
The City requested legislation to increase the amount of cannabis revenue that the state
distributes to cities. At the City’s request and in coordination with the Association of
(R-
th
4LD) introduced House Bill 1704, which would have increased the percentage of revenues
shared with local governments, reducing the amount of revenue distributed to the state
general fund from 32% to 20%. The bill was referred to the House Appropriations Committee
but was never scheduled for a public hearing. The House Appropriations Committee Democrat
Chairs and Vice Chairs noted that bills with a significant impact onstate general fund revenues
are not likely to advance at a time whenthe state is facing a budget shortfall.
th
LD)in the Senate,Senate Bill 5547,
A similar bill was introduced by Sen. Keith Wagoner(R-39
which would have gradually increased the amount of cannabis tax revenues shared with local
governments to reduce the portion distributed to the state general fund from 32% to 27%. The
Senate Ways and Means Committee held a public hearing on the proposal. Spokane Valley
Councilmember Jessica Yaeger testified in support of the bill, as did the Mayor of Issaquah, the
Association of Washington Cities, and the Washington State Association of Counties. Several
other cities and counties signed in supporting the bill, but did not testify. There was no
opposition expressed at the hearing; however, Democrat budget leaders expressed concern
that the bill wouldnegatively impact state revenue collections at a time when the state faces
budget shortfalls.
In response and to reduce the impact on the state budget, Sen. Keith Wagoner then introduced
a new bill,Senate Bill 5650, which would have allowedcounties to impose an additional excise
tax on the sale of cannabiswith voter approval. The bill was never scheduled for a public
hearing butwill be carriedover for consideration during the 2026 legislative session.
B.Regional Items of Importance
Helicopter Units: The City of Spokane Valley supported a $10 million request from Spokane
County, Chelan County, King County, and Snohomish County to operate helicopter units in
Washington Stateto manage police pursuits and search and rescue efforts. The effort to
request these funds was led by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs, with
the City of Spokane Valley playing a supportive role.
th
Senate Bill 5763, sponsored by Sen. John Lovick (D-44LD), and House Bill 1969, sponsored by
th
Brian Burnett (R-12LD), were each introduced to advance this request. The bill created a grant
GTH-GOV
4
program for law enforcement for “rotary wing aviation support units,” and provided
reimbursement for search and rescue by aviation support units, and providedfunds to the
Washington State Patrol’s Aviation Section. While the House of Representatives approved the
bill unanimously, the Senate did not advance either version of the bill. The House version
stalled in the Senate State Government, Tribal Affairs, and Elections Committee. The
predominant concern with the bill was that it would create a grant program thatwould then
need to be funded toeffectuate any change. There was no funding otherwise allocated in the
state budgets for helicopter units. The bill will be carried over for consideration during the 2026
legislative session.
Spokane County Stabilization Center:The City of SpokaneValleysupported Spokane County’s
, whichprovides 23-hourcrisis reliefand immediate
intervention to address the opioid crisis. The final 2025-27 Capital Budget included $3.050
Plante’s Ferry Sports Complex:The City of Spokane Valley supported Spokane County’s request
for Plante’s Ferry Sports Complex. The final 2025-27 Capital Budget included $1 million for the
project.
Partners Inland Northwest: The City of Spokane Valley supported the Partners Inland
Northwest’s funding request for $5.1 million. The final 2025-27 Capital Budget included
$515,000 for the Partners Inland Northwest Resource Center.
Family Promise’s Fast Leasing and Sustainable Housing Program: The City of Spokane Valley
supported an Operating Budget investment in Family Promise’s Fast Leasing and Sustainable
Housing Program through existing grant programs.
C.Investments in the City of Spokane Valley
Each year, there are several investments that the Legislature chooses to make in the Spokane
Valley community that are in addition to those items outlined on the Legislative Agenda. Below
is a comprehensive list of investments inand aroundthe City of Spokane Valley in both the
Capital and Transportation Budgets. Several of these investments are via grant programs where
the Legislature approves the final funding list, as opposed to earmarked funds, where the
Legislature evaluates the project and chooses whether and how much to allocate to the project.

D.Policy Issues
Public Safety & Behavioral Health
Public safety is the City Council’s highest priority. The City supports state actions that help
address public safety needs locally and has provided direction on specific items that would be
beneficial to the Spokane Valley community. That direction aids in directing our advocacy
efforts; however, the result on public safety issues is rooted in broader statewide politics.
During his campaign and subsequent entry into office, Democrat Governor Bob Ferguson
pledged to dedicate $100 million to law enforcement hiring grants. This initiative was advanced
th
to the Legislature through proposals introduced by Republican Senator Jeff Holy(R-6 LD) and
th
Representative Hunter Abell(R-7LD), Senate Bill 5060and House Bill 1435. Separately, the
Legislature's Democrat-ledMembers of Color Caucus proposed an alternative framework for
these grants in House Bill2015, suggesting that the allocation of grant funding be contingent
upon adherence to specific law enforcement training and operational standards, as well as a
requirement for local jurisdictions to have established a dedicated local tax to ensure the
grants' long-term funding.
After much debate, the Legislature chose to adopt House Bill 2015, which creates a new state
grant program and a new councilmanic local sales tax option for funding public safety
programs. The final budgetallocates $100million tothe grant program. The bill also allows
cities and counties to each councilmanically impose a new 0.1 increase in the sales tax to fund
criminal justice programs.

The budget funds 23 Basic Law Enforcement Academycourses in 2026 and 2027, with two per
year in each of the four regional training academies in Arlington, Pasco, Spokane, and
Vancouver,and the remainder at the main campus in Burien. The Legislature alsoreinstated
the requirement that cities pay 25% of the cost of each officer’s training. This is a reduced
investment from what the Legislature allocated in the 2023-25 budget, but is similar to
amounts allocated to law enforcement training prior to 2023. The Legislature maintained
investment levels for co-responder programsbyallocating $4 million to the Association of
Washington Cities to provide grants to create alternative response team programs throughout
the state.
Also, in the lead-up to the legislative session, the Washington State Supreme Court considered
a recommendation from the Washington State Bar Association to reduce public defender
caseload standards. The Court held two public hearings and a public comment period that
stakeholders across the legal and advocacy communities actively participated in, submitting
diverse perspectives on potential revisions. As of the start of the legislative session in Olympia,
the Court had not yet released its decision regarding any modifications to these standards.
e forthcoming Supreme Court ruling, legislators convened
informational briefings to understand the possible changesto public defense caseload
standardsand their implications for the state's public defense system and budget. Ultimately, in
the absence of a definitive decision from the Supreme Court, the Legislature failed to make
significant investments in public defense. There was a slight increase in state funding for public
defense, with$2.7 millionallocatedfor public defense grants to cities.
There continues to be bipartisan recognition that addressing behavioral health (mental health
and substance use) is a key element to improving public safety. Consistent with recent budgets,
the Legislature continued to make significant investments in the state’s behavioral health
system, including $78.5 million for assertive community treatment (PACT) teams, $17 million
for substance use disorder peer support, and $61.2 million to support the housing needs of
individuals with behavioral health disorders including crisis response teams, housing programs,
vision for the state’s behavioral health system to become more community-based and less
centered on state facilities.
Individuals also find themselves interacting with the state’s behavioral health system if they are
suspected of committing a crime, and a court determines that they are incompetent to stand
trial. The recent Trueblood court settlement found that the state failed to provide timely
competency evaluations and restoration services to such individuals. The state allocated $14.3
million to improve the timeliness of competency evaluation services in local jails, among other
investments to comply with Trueblood.
Housing Affordability
Continuing efforts from prior legislative sessions, the Legislature dedicated attention to the
issue of housing affordability.Throughout the session, Democrat lawmakers concentrated on
three key pillars: enhancing housing stability for renters(stability), increasing the overall
housing supply(supply), and expanding financial subsidies for housing development(subsidy).

As a result of this emphasis, the Legislature passed House Bill1217, limiting rent increases to
7% plus inflation or 10%, whichever is less.Housing newly constructed in the last 12 years is
exempt from the rent limitations.To addresshousing supply, the Legislaturecontinued its trend
of focusing on local government mandates byapprovingSenate Bill5814mandating a
reduction in parking requirements for new construction projects in cities with a population over
30,000, House Bill1096and Senate Bill5633allowing lot splitting and unit lot subdivision, and
House Bill1491mandating density around light rail and bus rapid transit. Additionally, the
Legislature made significant investments in the state's Housing Trust Fund, allocating
Washington. Here are some of the highlights:
$605 millionfor the Housing Trust Fund.
$90 million for Connecting Housing to Infrastructure (CHIP) grants to local governments.
$14.7 million for recovery residences grants.
$9 million for youth shelters and housing.
$5 million for low-income home rehabilitation grants.
The Legislature approved House Bill 1403, sponsored by Rep.Jamila Taylor (D-30th LD), which
simplifies condominium construction and warranty requirements to promote homeownership
and streamline development of smaller buildings and accessory dwelling units. The Legislature
th
also approved House Bill 1108, sponsored by Rep. Mark Klicker (R-16LD), which directs the
cost drivers for homeownership and rental housing. The report is due to the Legislature by
December 1, 2026.
Local Decision-Making Authority
A foundational belief for the Spokane Valley City Council and the residents they represent is
that the most effective level of government is the one closest to the people. In recent years, the
Legislature,on both sides of the aisle,hasnot honored local decision-making,opting instead to
establish statewide mandates. In many cases,the Legislature preempted local land use controls
with a desire to improve housing affordability as the stated justification for the preemption.
That theme continued for the 2025 Legislative Session with the Legislature approving those
proposalshighlighted in the above section on Housing Accountability, as well as several others
highlighted in the “2025 Bills Impacting Cities” Attachment.
Fiscal Management
The City encouraged the state to embrace the same conservative principles in managing the
state’s budget’sbudget. There is a budget and revenue
summary included as attachments to this report covering those topics.
Additionally, the City of Spokane Valley requested that the Legislature honor state-shared
revenuesand provide the City with flexibility with existing revenues. The Legislature honored
state-shared revenues, appropriating $98.9 million in Liquor profits, $88 million in Liquor taxes,
$44.2 million in cannabis revenues, $60.3 million (a slight increase) in the municipal criminal
GTH-GOV

justice assistance account, and $43.8 million in City-County Assistanceto be distributedto cities
and counties based on a variety of formulas.
Additionally, the Legislature approved House Bill 1791, sponsored by Rep.Dave Paul (D-10th
LD), which removes prior restrictions on using REET funds for operations and maintenance of
capital projects and explicitly allows their use for planning, acquisition, construction, and
improvement of facilities for affordable housing and homelessness. The bill was signed by the
Governor on April 24 and goes into effect on July 27, 2025.
Efforts to modify the existing 1% cap on property tax levy growth faced considerable debate
advocated for allowing local councils greater flexibility to increase levy growth in line with rising
service costs. Several proposals, including House Bill 2049/Senate Bill 5812, Senate Bill 5798,
and House Bill 1334were considered. However, these proposals encountered substantial
opposition from businesses and a significant number of public commenters, with over 40,000
individuals registering their disapproval during public hearings. Republicans also voiced strong
objections. While the discussion gained prominence as Democrats explored revenue options for
their budget plans, the proposed changes ultimately did not pass. Governor Ferguson's
indication of a likely veto on any property tax increase led legislators to approve a revised
version of HB 2049. This final version did not alter the local property tax levy growth limitations,
focusing instead on adjustments to voter-approved property tax levies for school district
enrichment programs.
Reducing Costs Through Reform
The Cityhas indicated support for proposals that reduce costs, specifically in the area of
implementing Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goals, liability expansion, and public
records acts. While several bills were considered this session that would have both increased or
decreased costs, one was particularly noteworthy.House Bill 1934, sponsored by Rep.Rob
Chase (R-4th LD), expands privacy protections for individuals in employment investigations by
requiring redactions of names, images, job titles, email addresses, and phone numbers of
complainants, accusers, and witnesses in investigative records.
D. Additional Legislative Issues
Each legislative session, there are a variety of issues raised unexpectedly that would impact the
City of Spokane Valley. Below are some of the additionalunanticipatedissues that the City paid
closer attention to:
911 Funding Allocation:House Bill 1258, sponsored by Rep.Timm Ormsby (D-3rd LD),
addresses a dispute between the City of Spokane and Spokane County’s 911 System. The bill
requires Spokane County totransfer a portion of the revenue it receives from the 911 excise tax
to a municipal 911 operatorif it transfers emergency calls to a municipal 911 emergency
communications system operator in a city with a population over 50,000. The tax must be
distributed based on the same allocation percentage that is used for the local sales and use tax
for emergency communications systems and facilities. The revenue transfer from the county to
the city will begin in calendar year 2026.
GTH-GOV

Comprehensive Plan Deadline Extension:Senate Bill 5558, sponsored by Sen.Keith Goehner
(R-12th LD), adjusts Growth Management Act compliance timelines for comprehensive plan
updates, design review processes, and housing density regulations. The deadline for Benton,
s, Skamania, Spokane, Walla Walla, and Yakima
counties to update their plans is extended to December 31, 2026, with subsequent updates due
every 10 years. Cities must align design review and housing density requirements with their
next periodic updates. The bill also aligns Accessory Dwelling Unit(ADU)ordinance timelines
with periodic updates. The bill was signed by the Governor on April 22 and goes into effect on
July 27, 2025.
Clean Buildings Compliance:House Bill 1543, sponsored by Rep.Beth Doglio (D-22nd LD),
expands compliance options for building owners under Washington’s clean buildings
performance standards. The bill allows the Department of Commerce to develop alternative
metrics for energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, alongside existing energy use intensity
(EUI) targets, and provides conditional compliance pathways for building owners who meet
these alternative metrics. It broadens exemptions for compliance, including historic
preservation and financial hardship, and introduces requirements for Tier 2 buildings, such as
benchmarking and operations planning, while prohibiting penalties from being passed on to
tenants.
DID NOT PASS: Homelessness Regulation Framework:House Bill 1380, sponsored by Rep. Mia
Gregerson (D-33rd LD),proposeda framework for regulating the use of public property by
individuals experiencing homelessness, requiring such regulations to be "objectively
reasonable" in terms of time, place, and manner. The bill would have allowedindividuals to
challenge unreasonable laws in court and assert an affirmative defense, prohibitmonetary
damages, and includean emergency clause for immediate enactment.The bill received
significant consideration in the House but was never approved by the chamber.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Safe and Healthy Spokane Regional Task Force Discussion
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: NA
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: August 13, 2024 Council discussion of a June 2024
Whatcom County Visit by a regional Spokane delegation.
BACKGROUND:
On June 23-25, 2024, a delegation from the Spokane region visited Whatcom County to learn
how the County and surrounding Cities worked together to pass a public safety sales tax ballot
measure in November 2023. The visit was organized by Greater Spokane Incorporated, Empire
Health Foundation, the Downtown Spokane Partnership, and the Greater Spokane Valley
Chamber of Commerce in a cooperative effort to initiate discussions regarding public health,
safety, and justice in the Spokane region. City Manager Hohman participated in the discussions
th
on June 24.
On August 13, 2024, Lance Beck, the President and CEO of the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber
of Commerce and City Manager Hohman discussed the visit and presented ideas for continued
dialog on the need for health, safety, and justice proposals in our region. Monthly meetings were
held through April 2025 with a wide array of stakeholders participating in discussing the public
safety needs of the region and attending tours of the County’s jail facility and the Regional Crisis
Stabilization Facility. In March 2025, Mayor Haley and City Manager Hohman were invited to join
the regional planning team, which is comprised of representatives from Spokane, Spokane
County, the Chambers of Commerce, Downtown Spokane Partnership, and Empire Health
Foundation. The planning team in conjunction with the broader stakeholder group is
recommending that a Safe and Healthy Spokane Task Force be convened with the purpose of
developing a regional vision and action plan to coordinate existing resources and recommend
improvements to programs and infrastructure. The task force will review the need for a potential
county-wide ballot measure for the implementation of an additional public safety sales tax to fund
the programmatic and infrastructure components of the action plan. The task force’s work is
anticipated to be completed by spring 2026.
The planning team has prepared the attached draft regional cooperative letter for the formation
of the task force. This draft will be discussed tonight for Council’s review and comment. The letter
th
is scheduled to be discussed in final form at the May 27 meeting. Staff will be looking for a
consensus vote from the Council to have Mayor Haley sign the final version of the letter at that
time.
Staff will also be seeking input on the makeup of the task force and will be open to nominations
for specific participants. Nominations from Councilmembers will be due to the City Manager no

DRAFT3 Spokane County Jurisdictions Convene “Safe & Healthy Spokane Task Force”
We, the undersigned jurisdictions, recognize our region faces challenges including untreated
behavioral health issues, inadequate justice and treatment facilities, and an overburdened criminal
justice system. The opioid crisis exacerbates these challenges and destroys too many lives and
families in communities across Spokane County. Now is thetime to come togetherto develop
shared solutions anddeliver the positive results our citizens deserve. To improve outcomes in our
local public health and safety systems, and to create a safer, healthier community for all, we are
jointly convening the Safe & Healthy Spokane Task Force.
We charge the Task Force to act with urgent and thoughtful deliberation to craft a regional vision
and Action Plan by the Spring of 2026, and to present that plan to local elected leaders.
The issues we face are pressing, and while the Task Force develops its Action Plan, we will not
wait to act. We are already coordinating investments to tackle the drug crisis using our Opioid
Settlement funds, working to grow our successful regional Crisis Stabilization Center, and co-
deploying behavioral health professionals with first responders in the field. Going forward, we
will look to the Task Force for other strategies that can be implemented right away.
The Task Force will consist of a diverse array of experts, leaders, and individuals with lived
experience in areas including behavioral health, law enforcement, the courts, emergency response,
healthcare, business, philanthropy, labor, workforce, and advocacy. With a focus on expanding
behavioral health interventions, reducing recidivism, modernizing facilities, and improving system
effectiveness and community safety, we charge the Task Force to formulatea Regional Action
that prioritizesactionable, cost effectivestrategies to make our community safer and healthier by:
Completinga Needs Assessment that identifiesstrengths, gaps, and areas for scaling
successful programs, and buildsupon recent justice and behavioral health mapping efforts;
Updating Previous Studies & Recommendations in light of the current opioid crisis,
incorporating best practices from other communities;
Engaging Broad Public Input to ensure the voices and priorities of the people are heard;
Recommending Specialized Strategies, Services, and Facilities after in depth
exploration of specific areas including prevention and diversion; pre/post-incarceration
interventions; coordinated case management; efficient intake, booking and case
processing; crisis response; therapeutic courts; re-entry approaches; workforce needs; data;
and the facilities needed to promote a safe and healthy Spokane;
EnsuringTransparency and Accountability in all its operationsby meeting in public,
providing regular progress reports, maintaining a public facing website; and
LeveragingFunding by identifying ways tomaximize effective use of taxpayer dollars
and integrate existing public and private resources wherever possible. Based upon the Task
Force’s recommendations, a County-wide ballot measure could be considered in 2026 to
fund Action Plan strategies and facility improvements, as needed.
A multi-sector, multijurisdictional Planning Team will select Task Force members after
considering stakeholder and public input, and guide the Task Force’s work. (See Attachment A –
Planning Team & Task Force Attributes).
To be successful, the Task Force must have robust staff support. We commit to designate
jurisdictional staff to help carry out this important work. We are grateful for the commitment of
partnering organizations who are providingpublic engagement and facilitation consultants. These
consultants will help support and coordinate the Task Force’s work streams. We will also convene
a Facilities Work Group, comprised of elected officials and key staff, to develop – with input from
the Task Force – a proposed framework for updating our region’s outdated, overcrowded,
inadequate detention facilities.
We believe in the people of Spokane County. Everyone in our region deserves to be safe and
healthy. We look forward to the progress we will achieve together.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report – Amending SVMC 22.110.060 to Prohibit Signs on
Traffic Devices
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 22.110
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
August 2013: The last amendment to SVMC 22.110.020, the specific sign code section that is the
subject of this administrative report (Ordinance No. 13-010).
January 21, 2025: Council received and administrative report to review draft amendments to SVMC
22.110.020. Council provided consensus to advance to a first reading.
February 10, 2025: City notifies Washington Department of Commerce of the proposed
development code amendment.
February 11, 2025: First Reading of Ordinance No. 25-001. Council moved and approved to assume
responsibility for holding, and directed City staff to schedule a public hearing.
February 14, 2025: Notice of the public hearing on Ordinance No. 25-001 is published in the
Spokane Valley News Herald and The Exchange.
February 24, 2025: Department of Commerce grants expedited review of proposed amendment and
confirms the City has satisfied the RCW 36.70A.106 notice requirement.
March 11, 2025: Public hearing held regarding Ordinance No. 25-001. Council provided consensus
to advance to a second reading.
March 18, 2025: Second Reading of Ordinance No. 25-001. Council declined to adopt the
amendments after members of the public raised concerns that temporary “open house” and “garage
sale” signs would still be prohibited from the City rights-of-way. Staff agreed to propose an
alternative amendment that does not alter the current SVMC provisions relating to such signs.
BACKGROUND:
The City’s sign code is SVMC 22.110 (hereinafter “Sign Code”). Over the last decade, the United States
Supreme Court has issued decisions that modify how the First Amendment of the United States Constitution
is interpreted and applied to the regulation of signs. The City Attorney’s Office has been reviewing all
aspects of the Sign Code to identify and recommend code text amendments consistent with current Supreme
Court precedent.
The first Sign Code regulation identified for revision was SVMC 22.110.020(E) pertaining to signs placed
within the City’s rights-of-way. City staff prepared code text amendments that would have expressly
allowed non-commercial signs within City rights-of-way but prohibited placement of commercial signs
within the rights-of-way. Staff presented these amendments to Council for consideration as Ordinance No.
25-001. At the first reading, Council elected to conduct the public hearing on the proposed amendments
rather than the Planning Commission because the amendment only impacted signage within City-owned
rights-of-way – not signs placed only on private property. Council completed the public hearing on March
thth
11
, and the amendments were brought back for a second reading on March 18. During the public hearing
th
and at the March 18 second reading, members of the public expressed concern that the amendments did
not allow the placement of “open house” or “garage sale” signs within City rights-of-way. Council voted
against passing Ordinance No. 25-001 but indicated it would like to consider amendments that do not alter
the City’s current code relating to “open house” and “garage sale” type signage within rights-of-way.
The primary purpose of the Ordinance No. 25-001 amendments was to guard the safety and well-being of
pedestrians and drivers using City rights-of-way. One of the proposed amendments in Ordinance No. 25-
001 would have made it expressly clear that signs cannot be placed on traffic control devices, such as traffic
signs, traffic lights/poles, traffic medians, and round-a-bout structures. While the SVMC currently prohibits
signs from being placed on such devices, some members of the public do not realize this because the
restriction is identified in the Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices (“MUTCD”) which is
incorporated into the SVMC by reference. Amending the code to make it more readable and evident to the
public that signs are prohibited from being placed on or attached to such traffic control measures will
facilitate compliance and should result in less signs being placed on or in traffic control devices which can
distract or obstruct the sight of the travelling public.
With Council’s direction and public safety goals in mind, staff are now proposing amendments to SVMC
22.110.060 titled “General provisions applicable to all signs.” The amendment is limited to adding
subsection J which would provide that:
Except for official government signs, signs are prohibited from being placed on or attached or
otherwise affixed to (i) any part of a traffic control device, including but not limited to traffic signs,
(ii) any structure within or part of any right-of-way, (iii) any traffic structure, facility, or device that
channels traffic, including but not limited to traffic islands and round-a-bout centers, or (iv) any
portion of a bridge, including but not limited to any structure attached to a bridge, when such bridge
is within or part of a right-of-way.
If adopted, the amended code will not regulate signs within rights-of-way to the extent such signs are not
placed on or within traffic devices and structures. Whether signage could otherwise be placed within City
rights-of-way would still be governed by other currently existing provisions of the SVMC.
The City Attorney’s Office recently spoke with Darin Watkins, the Government Affairs Director for the
Spokane Realtors Association, regarding the proposed amendment. Staff explained that (a) the proposed
amendment only prohibits placing signs on traffic control devices/structures, and (b) whether any given
sign may be placed within City rights-of-way (i.e. other than on a traffic control device within a ROW)
would continue to be governed by other currently existing sign code provisions not subject to this
amendment – SVMC 22.110.020(E) (prohibiting most signs within rights-of-way), 22.110.050 (regulations
specific to temporary signs). and 22.110.090 (regulating sign location and street frontage setbacks). As of
th
the time this report was submitted for inclusion in the May 13Council meeting materials, Mr. Watkins
had not yet provided any comments or concerns. If Council provides consensus to continue consideration
of this amendment, staff will continue communicating with the Spokane Realtors Association regarding the
proposed amendment.
Before Council may adopt the amendment, a public hearing must be held to receive public testimony on
the proposed change since the sign code is part of the development code. See RCW 18.10 et seq. Ordinarily,
the Planning Commission would conduct the public hearing and provide Council with a recommended
action. However, Council can assume responsibility for conducting the public hearing. See SVMC
18.10.050. If Council wishes to conduct the public hearing as it did with Ordinance No. 25-001, an
affirmative majority vote is required.
OPTIONS: Discussion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: (1) Provide consensus for staff to bring the code text
amendment back for a first reading as proposed or with specific amendments and schedule a public hearing
before the Council, or (2) take other action as Council deems necessary.
