Ms. Walls also gave an overview of the current budget timeline and noted that there will be at least three more touches on the budget before it is adopted in December. Mayor Haley invited public comments. Mike Dolan, Spokane Valley; Kendra Rojas, Spokane Valley; Ben Lund, Spokane Valley provided comments. Councilmember Merkel questioned the need for some of the funding in specific line items such as the Washinton DC trip in the council's budget and the need for funding the abatement line item in the code enforcement budget. Councilmembers noted that the funds were placed in each of the lines items based on the need and historical use of the funds for some of the line items. Councilmember Merkel noted that there is more than $10 Million in excess funds in the budget and we need to fund the things that really matter. Councilmember Wick pointed out that this is a budget and that the amount noted is the limit on what staff can spend in that line item which is the mechanism to keep our budget in line. Councilmember Merkel continued to state that there is excess funds and Councilmember Higgins poised a point of order stating that we have already discussed this topic and need to move on. Mayor Haley agreed and Councilmember Merkel appealed the ruling and without a second the appeal died. Mayor Haley closed the public hearing at 7:09 p.m. 2. Motion Consideration: Prop 1 Implementation — Erik Lamb, Chief Ellis It was moved by Deputy Mayor Hattenburg, seconded to authorize the use of funding fi•oin Proposition I to fund an additional 10 dedicated positions, one shared position, to fully fund the existing behavioral health deputy, and to convert a deputy in the SVIU to the regional RAVEN unit, and to pay for additional vehicles for such positions, all as described in this RCA, and to authorize the City Manager to take such action as required under the Law Enforcement Agreement to implement such changes, including but not limited to providing notice to Spokane County and the Sheriff's Office and executing any necessary amendments. Mr. Lamb and Chief Ellis spoke about the details of the plan for staffing the police and noted that it is for ten dedicated and one shared position. This will also fund a behavioral health deputy fully as the grant that was funding the officer is no longer, so it is more like 12 officers. Mayor Haley invited public comments. Mike Dolan, Spokane Valley; Ben Lund, Spokane Valley provided comments. Council noted that they appreciated the staff's hard work on a balanced budget and creating a plan to utilize funding in the best way for officers and Mayor Haley and Deputy Mayor Hattenburg continued to point out that at no point in time has the city defunded the police as it is currently 65% of our budget and we continue to increase our budget to support the policing efforts.

Councilmember Merkel questioned the railroad decrease of $30 Million and if that was a timing issue. Ms. Walls provided details on the project and when funding was received and the need to carry it over to the following year. Councilmember Merkel continued questions on the Pines project and Councilmember Higgins poised a point of order and noted that Councilmember Merkel was becoming argumentative and was this questioning necessary. Mr. Hohman pointed out that staff have brought forward discussions about the project numerous times and detailed that the agreements with FRA took time, that BNSF had challenges completing their portion of the work and that the asphalt companies will only supply asphalt for certain times of the year; thus the reason for the budget amendment. Mayor Haley agreed. Council provided consensus to move forward with the 2025 budget amendment. Mayor Haley called for a ten-minute break and that council would return at 7: 45 p. in 4. Admin Report: Proposed Ordinance adopting 2026 property taxes — Chelsie Walls Ms. Walls provided details on the 2026 proposed property tax ordinance that included information on how the levy rate is calculated and what goes into the property tax collection, a pie chart on how funds are allocated, Council Meeting Minutes: 10-21-2025 Page 2 of 4 Approved by Council: 11-25-2025 and information on the senior exemption program. Ms. Walls also went over what would be necessary if we were to take the 1% in property tax and spoke about the potential banked capacity. The current proposal for 2026 does not include the 1 % in property tax. Council provided consensus to move forward as the proposed ordinance was presented. 5. Admin Report: Spokane Safe & Healthy Task Force Discussion — John Hohman Mr. Hohman gave details on the background for the Spokane Safe and healthy task force and that he attended a visit to Whatcom County to learn more about how surrounding cities work together to pass a public safety sales tax ballot measure in November of 2023.

He also spoke about those that would be attending the meetings to represent the city. Council discussed the planning group and number of representatives from each area, and the regional cooperation efforts. Council provided consensus to rejoin the task force. INFORMATION ONLY: GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY: Mayor Haley stated that the general public comment rules still apply and called for public comments. Mike Dolan, Spokane Valley; Brad Hohn, Spokane Valley; Al Shrock, Spokane Valley provided comments. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Yaeger spoke about responsible leadership, transparency, and fiscal accountability and being prepared for the meeting. Councilmember Padden spoke about the budgets and deficits and more specifically about our budget and the City of Spokane shortfall in their budget and noted that Spokane is getting ready to layoff staff and trying to balance a budget on the backs of our city citizens- meaning the $57 million in back utility taxes. Councilmember Higgins had no comments. Councilmember Wick spoke about the flock camera discussion and encouraged people to read the articles about the cameras. He also noted that there will be an AWC meeting on Friday in Liberty Lake.

City of Spokane Valley, WA 2026 Preliminary Budget As of October 21, 2025 SCITYo40ka e� p Valley This page Left intentionalaiv b;,-�in k- J Placeholder for Table of Contents Spokane jValleyR This page left intentionally blank. Council 2026 Budget Goals 1. Increase public safety response to ensure everyone feels safe in Spokane Valley. 2. Prioritize infrastructure maintenance and preservation and advance strategic capital projects through grant awards. 3. Continue economic development efforts to maximize business growth and develop tourism destinations. 4. Maintain our strong financial position. 5. Utilize strategic partnerships to aggressively reduce and prevent homelessness in Spokane Valley. 6. Expand homeownership opportunities so more local people own homes. Fiscal Policies The Fiscal Policies adopted by the City Council are important for the long-range fiscal strength of Spokane Valley. These policies set a framework that the City will follow to responsibly manage resources and, if necessary, the circumstances under which we will utilize reserves to sustain operations during economic downturns. Financial Management The City will strive to: 1. Maintain basic service levels with minimal resources to achieve success. 2. Minimize personnel costs and overhead by continuing to contract for services when it makes financial and operational sense to do so. 3. Work to incorporate the business plan process into the budget process. 4. Leverage city funds with grant opportunities. 5. Minimize city debt with a pay-as-you-go philosophy. o The State of Washington sets the maximum level of allowable debt for cities based on the assessed value of the property. The City of Spokane Valley carries an exceptionally low debt burden and currently utilizes only 0.57% of its total debt capacity, and more importantly, only 2.86% of non -voted bond capacity. 6. Strive to prioritize spending in the annual budget process and minimize the mid -year addition of projects and appropriations. Financial Objectives The city's financial objectives are: Adopt a General Fund Budget with recurring revenues equal to or greater than recurring expenditures. 2. Maintain a minimum General Fund ending fund balance of at least 50% of the recurring expenditure budget. This is adequate to meet cash flow needs and is the equivalent of six months of general fund operations. 3. Increase the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 to approximately 14% of the General Fund or $8 million. The increase will be funded over a number of years to limit the impact on city operations. Interest income will continue to accrue to support the growth of this fund overtime. 4. If necessary, utilize a portion of the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 ($8 million) to maintain the ending fund balance minimum. 5. Commit to the strategy that the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 will not be reduced below $4.8 million (60% of $8 million) without City Council approval. If the Council should deem this necessary, the City will then first replenish Fund #121 to at least $4.8 million before any annual General Fund transfers are made to Capital Reserve Fund #312. 6. Maintain the 2026 property tax assessment at a level to support ongoing City operations. For the 2026 levy, we anticipate this will result in a levy of $14,109,800 plus an estimated new construction of $200,000 for a total levy of $14,309,800. Any allowable potential increase not taken will be banked for future use as provided by law. 7. Grow our economy so the existing tax base can support basic programs. Placeholder for City Manager's Message pkane "'OF T th is p a ij, e, e r, t i (--�; n a I ly b a n k. TO: City Manager and Members of the City Council FROM: Chelsie Walls, Finance Director SUBJECT: 2026 Budget and Budget Development Process The following 2026 city budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff and community. The City of Spokane Valley budget, established with input from the City Council, staff and the public, includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds, and serves four functions: 1. Policy Document The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within it reflect the general principles or plans that guide future actions. As a policy document, the budget makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-day activities of the city staff. 2. Operational Guide The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each city function and organization have been planned, debated, formalized and described in the following sections. This process will help to maintain an understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to each other and to the attainment of the policy issues and goals of the City Council. 3. Link with the General Public The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of city operations. It describes the city's activities, the reason or cause for those activities, future implications and the direct relationship to the citizenry. 4. Legally Required Financial Planning Tool The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light, preparing and adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget and must be in place prior to the beginning of the city's fiscal year. The budget is the legal authority to expend public monies and controls those expenditures by limiting the amount of the appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are estimated, along with available cash carry -forward, to indicate funds available, The budget considers unforeseen contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments. 2026 Budget Development Process Historically the City has utilized a budgeting approach that assumed for most functions of government that the current year's budget was indicative of the base required for the following year. However, with the volatility that was seen in the economy with the Great Recession and again with the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent inflation, the City moved to a budget development process that consciously reviews service levels in each department and determines the appropriate level of funding that meets Council goals relative to available resources. The 2026 budget process began in March 2025, with initial budget preparations shared with the City Council at a Budget Workshop on June 10, 2025. By the time the 2026 Budget is scheduled to be adopted on December 9, 2025, the Council will have had an opportunity to discuss it on eight separate occasions, including three public hearings to gather input from community members: Budget Timeline O DEC 2nd Reading Budget ordinance Adoption of 2026 budgetl APRIL & MAY JUNE AUG Department Budget Report on budgets workshop estimated compiled revenues and expenditures SEPT Public Hearing #1 Revenues inducing property taxes NOV OCT OCT OCT Public list Reading Public City manager Hearing #3 Budget Hearing #2 presentation Final budget ordinance Preliminary of budget budget Once adopted, the final operating budget is published, distributed and made available to the public, and then enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage. Throughout the year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department directors to ensure that actual expenditures comply with the approved budget. The Finance Department provides the City Manager and City Council with monthly reports to keep them abreast of the city's financial condition and individual department compliance with approved appropriation levels. Any budget amendments made during the year are adopted by the City Council ordinance following a public hearing. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized employee positions, salary ranges or other conditions of employment must be approved by the City Council. When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance adopted by the Council after holding one public hearing. Budget Principles The budget was prepared using the following budget principles: • Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with City Council and City Manager priority direction, and for implementing them once approved. • The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and administration of the city's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance with applicable State of Washington statutes governing local government budgeting practices. • The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems, formulating solutions and alternatives and implementing any necessary corrective actions. • Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing those services. • Budget amendments requiring City Council approval will occur through the ordinance process at the fund level prior to fiscal year-end. • The city's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the city's services plan in a Council/constituent-friendly format. • No long-term debt will be incurred without the identification of a revenue source to repay the debt. Long-term debt will be incurred for capital purposes only. • The City will strive to maintain equipment replacement funds in an amount necessary to replace the equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required contributions will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process. New operations in difficult economic times may make it difficult to fund this principle in some years. • The City will pursue an ending general fund balance at a level of no less than 50% of recurring expenditures. This figure is based on an evaluation of both cash flow and operating needs. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING & BUDGETING Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized, recorded in the accounting system and ultimately reported in the financial statements. The city budget is based on two types of Basis of Accounting: Modified Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for all governmental funds. Modified accrual recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for enterprise, internal service and fiduciary funds. Under this system revenues and expenses are recognized in the period incurred rather than when cash is either received or disbursed. Annual appropriation budgets are adopted for all funds with Governmental Funds utilizing a modified cash basis of accounting for budget purposes and Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds utilizing a working capital approach. Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures, and annual appropriations for all funds lapse at the end of the fiscal period. TYPES OF FUNDS The city's accounting records are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the State Auditor under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.09.20, and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of double -entry accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. The city's resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds depending on their intended purpose. Details on the types of funds and revenues are outlined within the budget document. Governmental Fund Types Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state and local government operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or "financial flows" measurement focus, which means that typically only current assets and current liabilities are included on related balance sheets. The operating statements of governmental funds measure changes in financial position, rather than net income. They present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. 1. General Fund Primary fund that accounts for all financial resources except those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund. 2. Special Revenue Funds Revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance particular activities. • #101 —Street Fund • #103 — Paths & Trails Fund • #104 — Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund • #105 — Hotel / Motel Tax Fund #106 — Solid Waste Fund • #107 — PEG Fund • #108 — Affordable & Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund #109 — Tourism Promotion Area Fund • #110 — Homeless Housing Program Fund • #111 — Transportation Benefit District Fund • #120 — CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund #121 — Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund • #122 —Winter Weather Reserve Fund 3. Debt Service Funds Resources designated for the retirement of debt. • #204 — LTGO Debt Service Fund 4. Capital Project Funds Designated for the acquisition or construction of general government capital projects. • #301 — REET 1 Capital Projects Fund • #302 — REET 2 Capital Projects Fund • #303 — Streets Capital Projects Fund • #309 — Parks Capital Projects Fund • #310 — Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund • #311 — Pavement Preservation Fund • #312 — Capital Reserve Fund • #314 — Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund • #315 — Transportation Impact Fees Fund • #316 — Economic Development Capital Projects Fund Proprietary Fund Types A second type of fund classification is the proprietary funds that are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector, where the intent of the governing body is to finance the full cost of providing services based on the commercial model which uses a flow of economic resources approach. Under this approach, the operating statements for the proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net income (revenues and expenses) and both current and non -current assets and liabilities are reported on related balance sheets. Their reported fund equity (total net position) is segregated into restricted, unrestricted, and invested in capital assets classifications. 1. Enterprise Funds Operations that provide goods or services to the general public and are supported primarily by user charges. • #402 — Stormwater Management Fund • #403 — Aquifer Protection Area Fund 2. Internal Service Funds Operations that provide goods or services to other departments or funds of the City. • #501 — Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund • #502 — Risk Management Fund • #503 — Public Safety Equipment Replacement Reserve Fiduciary Fund Types A third type of fund classification is the fiduciary funds that are used to account for activities conducted for the benefit of those outside the City. Fiduciary funds have the same measurement focus and basis of accounting as proprietary funds. Under this approach, the operating statements for the fiduciary funds focus on a measurement of net income (revenues and expenses) and both current and non -current assets and liabilities are reported on related balance sheets. Net position is always classified as restricted. 1. Custodial Funds Fees and taxes collected by the City on behalf of other governments, such as Washington State and Spokane County. • #632 — Passthrough Fees and Taxes Fund General Fund #001 • Property Tax Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits the City to a $3.60 levy per $1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of up to $1.50 by the Spokane County Fire Districts #1 and #8, along with deducting up to $0.50 for the Library District, which leaves the City with the authority to levy up to $1.60 for its own purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance by November 30 prior to the levy year. • Retail Sales and Use Tax The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane Valley is 9%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the vendor to the Washington State Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the various agencies that have imposed the tax. The City receives less than one percent of sales tax, with allocation of the 9% tax rate to agencies as follows: - State of Washington 6.50% - City of Spokane Valley 0.85% - Spokane County 0.15% - Spokane Public Facilities District 0.10% * - Criminal Justice 0.10% - Public Safety - County 0.10% * - Public Safety - City 0.10% * - Juvenile Jail 0.10% * - Mental Health 0.10% * - Law Enforcement Communications 0.10% * - Spokane Transit Authority 0.80% * 9.00% * Indicates voter approved sales taxes 2.50% local tax • Criminal Justice Sales Tax Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes, such as the City's law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at 1/10 of 1 % of retail sales transacted in the County. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 10% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County and cities within the County. • Public Safety Sales Tax - County Beginning in 2005, an additional 0.1% voter -approved increase in sales tax was devoted to public safety purposes. This 0.1 % was approved by the voters again in August 2009. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County. • Public Safety Sales Tax - City Beginning in 2026, an additional 0.1% voter -approved increase in sales tax was devoted to public safety purposes. This 0.1% was approved by the voters in August 2025. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 85% of the receipts to the City, with the remaining 15% distributed to Spokane County. Gambling Tax Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to gambling. Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes may be used for any general government purpose. Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly to the City, no later than the last day of January, April, July and October. The City imposes a tax on the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5% gross, less prizes); raffles (5% gross, less prizes); punchboards and pull tabs (5% gross, less prizes); amusement games (2% gross, less prizes); card playing (6% gross). • Leasehold Excise Tax Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties (city's share). • Franchise Fees Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5% of gross revenues. This is a fee levied on private utilities for the right to use city streets, alleys and other public properties. State -Shared Revenues State -shared revenues are received from liquor sales, marijuana revenues and motor vehicle excise taxes. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and shared with local governments based on population. State -shared revenues are distributed on either a monthly or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues are distributed in the same month of the quarter. The 2025 population figure used in the 2026 Budget is 110,200 as reported by the Office of Financial Management (OFM) for Washington State on April 1, 2025. This figure is important when determining the distribution of state -shared revenues on a per capita basis. • Fines and Forfeitures / Public Safety Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings, false alarm fees and other miscellaneous rule infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State, with the City, on average, retaining less than 50% of the amount collected. • Community Development Community Development revenues are largely composed of fees for building permits, plan reviews and right-of-way permits. Recreation Program Fees The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These fees offset direct costs related to providing the program. • CenterPlace Fees The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for the use of CenterPlace. Uses include regional meetings, weddings, receptions and banquets. Rental rooms include classrooms, the great room and dining rooms. • Investment Interest The City earns investment interest on sales tax money held by the State of Washington prior to the distribution of the taxes to the City, as well as on city -initiated investments. Street Fund #101 Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (,gas tax) The State of Washington collects a $0.554 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump. Of this amount, the State remits a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2026 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the distribution back to cities will be $18.33 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 110,200 (per the Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2025) we anticipate the City will collect $2,020,000 in 2026. RCW 47.30.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended for paths and trails activities and based upon the 2026 revenue estimate, this computes to $8,500. The balance of $2,011,500 will be credited to Fund #101 for street maintenance and operations. • Telephone Utility Tax The City of Spokane Valley levied a 6% telephone utility tax via Ordinance #08-014 with collections beginning in 2009. Telephone companies providing this service pay the tax to the City monthly. Telephone tax has been estimated at $960,000 for 2026. • Solid Waste Road Wear Fee The road wear fee is collected as part of the City's contract for solid waste collection services with Waste Management of Washington, Inc. See the explanation under Fund #106 below. Paths & Trails Fund #103 Cities are required to spend 0.42% of the motor vehicle fuel tax receipts on paths and trails (please see the explanation for Street Fund #101), which we anticipate will be $8,500 in 2026. Because the amount collected in any given year is relatively small, it is typical to accumulate State distributions for several years until adequate dollars are available for a project. Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund #104 The City imposes a 1.3% tax under RCW 67.28.181 on all charges made for the furnishing of lodging at hotels, motels and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks) for a continuous period of less than one month. The revenues generated by this tax may only be used for capital expenditures for acquiring, constructing, improving or making other related capital expenditures for large sporting venues or venues for tourism -related facilities. This tax is estimated to generate $590,000 in 2026. Hotel / Motel Tax Fund #106 The City imposes a 2% tax under RCW 67.28,180 on all charges made for the furnishing of lodging at hotels, motels and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks) for a continuous period of less than one month. The tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5% state sales tax so that the total tax that a patron pays in retail sales tax and hotel/motel tax combined is equal to the retail sales tax in the jurisdiction. The revenues generated by this tax may be used solely for paying for tourism promotion and for the acquisition and/or operation of tourism -related facilities. This tax is estimated to generate $900,000 in 2026. Solid Waste Fund #106 Under the city's contract for solid waste transfer, transport and disposal services with Sunshine Recyclers, Inc., Sunshine pays an annual contract administrative fee to the City. Also, under the city's contract for solid waste collection services with Waste Management of Washington, Inc., Waste Management pays an administrative fee of 12.5% of gross receipts. This fee shall be used by the City for costs related to solid waste services, including costs for contract administration, solid waste planning and management, and a portion of the city's Street Preservation and Maintenance Programs. Of the amounts collected under the fee, no more than 1% of gross receipts may be used for contract administration while the remainder is recorded in the Street Fund #101 for use on pavement management and maintenance. PEG Fund #107 Under the city's cable franchise, the franchise grantee remits to the City in a capital contribution in support of Public Education Government (PEG) capital requirements, an amount equal to $0.35 per subscriber per month to be paid to the City on a quarterly basis for the life of the franchise. Capital contributions collected under this agreement are allocated to PEG capital uses exclusively. PEG capital uses include, in part, the set-up of equipment in the City Council Chambers that allows Spokane Valley to broadcast Council meetings both live and through subsequent reviews via digital recordings available on the City's website. Affordable and Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund #108 In 2020, the Council authorized the City to collect the affordable and supportive sales tax, which is a rebate of the State sales tax to cities and counties. The amount received by the City is up to 0.0146% of the taxable retail sales within the City capped at the 2019 fiscal year taxable retail sales. The Department of Revenue has estimated this capped distribution to be $200,000 for the City. The City will receive these revenues for 20 years, and the revenues may only be used to support affordable housing within the City or for rental assistance as outlined in RCW 82.14.540. Tourism Promotion Area Fund #109 In 2022, a qualified lodging business (40 or more lodging units) within the City of Spokane Valley submitted a petition to form a tourism promotion area (TPA). The Council adopted resolution 22- 017 to establish and operate pursuant to chapter 35.101 RCW, a Tourism Promotion Area fund. The City estimates that the annual revenue from the lodging charges collected from the operators of lodging businesses within the Spokane Valley TPA is expected to be $1,300,000. This estimated amount is based on a daily lodging charge of $4.00 per room night and will vary from year to year depending upon fluctuating occupancy rates of lodging businesses in the Spokane Valley TPA and based upon program review. Homeless Housing Program Fund #110 In 2023, the Council passed Resolution #23-009 to declare the Council's intent to operate a local homeless and housing program and assume collection of available document recording fees for this purpose. As part of operating a homeless and housing program, the City first needed to form a Homeless Housing Task Force and adopt a five-year Homeless Housing Action Plan that identifies how the City will work to eliminate homelessness consistent with the State's adopted strategic plan. Document recording fees are collected by Spokane County and passed through to the City based on the City's proportionate share of real estate excise tax (REET) collected on a monthly basis. Transportation Benefit District Fund #111 In 2023, Council adopted Ordinances 23-018 and 23-022 forming and assuming the powers of a Transportation Benefit District in the City. The Council also adopted Ordinance 23-024, establishing a $20 vehicle license tab fee. The fee was effective July 2024 and is anticipated to generate $1,800,000 in revenues in the 2026 Budget. These funds are used in the Street Fund #101 for use on pavement management and maintenance LTGO Debt Service Fund #204 This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for and the payment of limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bonds, also referred to as councilmanic or non -voted bonds. When LTGO bonds are issued, the City irrevocably pledges the full faith, credit and resources necessary to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and statutory limitations pertaining to non -voted general obligations. In 2003, the City issued $9,430,000 in limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bonds the proceeds of which were used to finance both the construction of CenterPlace and road and street improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014, the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order to take advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond repayment (much like refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this total: • $5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 20-year period ending December 1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District. On January 1, 2025, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $2,145,000. • $1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements. These bonds matured in December 2023 and were completely paid off at that time. In 2016, the City issued $7,275,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance the construction of a new City Hall, along with $6.3 million of city cash that had been set aside for this purpose. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 30-year period ending December 1, 2045. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by transfers in from the General Fund. On January 1, 2025, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be $5,665,000. REET 1 Capital Proiects Fund #301 Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an excise tax on each sale of real property at the rate of one -quarter of one percent of the selling price. The revenue generated is used for financing capital projects as specified in the capital facilities plan under the Growth Management Act. REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302 Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an additional excise tax on each sale of real property at the rate of one -quarter of one percent of the selling price. The revenue generated is used for financing public works capital projects as specified in the capital facilities plan under the Growth Management Act. Stormwater Management Fund #402 A stormwater fee is imposed upon every developed parcel within the City, which is an annual charge of $60 for each single-family unit and $60 per 3,160 square feet of impervious surface for all other properties. These charges are uniform for the same class of customers and service facilities. These fees are estimated to generate $6,170,000 in 2026. Interfund Transfers Many funds receive a portion of their revenues from other funds in the form of an interfund transfer. These transfers typically represent payments for either services rendered by one fund for another or a concentration of revenues for a specific project or purpose. The following interfund transfers are planned for 2026: mil i 1 1 i MEMEEMEEMEEM 0 287,000 380,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1,800,000 250,200 250,200 1,750,000 398,750 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 651,193 600,000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 518,374 0 0 0 0 1,372,150 1,372,150 1,042,421 0 0 0 0 37,659 0 359,182 92,500 0 0 0 0 0 0 1,100, 000 0 0 0 0 0 0 652,831 0 0 0 0 0 0 Taal In 667,000 4,050,400 398,750 1,251,193 518,374 3,786,721 396,841 92,500 1,100, 000 652,831 12,914,610 Total in Tcatal Qut 2,244,081 287,000 380,000 1,800,000 2,311,202 2,222,350 3,669,977 12,914,610 Total out 0 #001 — General Fund is budgeted to transfer out $2,244,081 including: • $398,750 to Fund #204 — LTGO Debt Service Fund for bond payments on the 2016 LTGO Bonds for the City Hall construction. $92,500 to Fund #501 - Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund for an IT equipment reserve. $1,100,000 to Fund #502 - Risk Management Fund for the 2024 property and liability insurance premium. $652,831 to Fund #503 - Public Safety Equipment Replacement Fund to build a reserve to replace police vehicles and other public safety equipment. #105 - Hotel / Motel Tax Fund is budgeted to transfer $30,000 to Fund #001 - General Fund for the purpose of financing advertising at CenterPlace. #110 -Homeless Housing Program Fund is budgeted to transfer $380,000 to Fund #001 - General Fund for the purpose of partially funding the City's homeless outreach team and reserved shelter beds. #111 - Transportation Benefit District Fund is budgeted to transfer $1,800,000 to Fund #101 - Street Fund for the purpose of funding street maintenance operations. #301 - REET 1 Capital Projects Fund is budgeted to transfer out $2,311,202 including: • $250,200 to Fund #101 - Street Fund to support street maintenance activities. • $651,193 to Fund #303 - Street Capital Projects Fund that will be applied towards grans matches for street construction projects. • $1,372,150 to Fund #311 - Pavement Preservation Fund for pavement preservation projects. • $37,659 to Fund #314 - Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund for the Sullivan Road Interchange project. #302 - REET 2 Capital Projects Fund is budgeted to transfer out $1,891,950 including: • $250,200 to Fund #101 - Street Fund to support street maintenance activities. • $600,000 to Fund #303 - Street Capital Projects Fund that will be applied towards grani matches for street construction projects. • $1,372,150 to Fund #311 - Pavement Preservation Fund for pavement preservation projects. #312 - Capital Reserve Fund is budgeted to transfer out $4,990,123 including: • $1,750,000 to Fund #101 - Street Fund to fund local access street improvements. • $518,374 to Fund #309 - Parks Capital Projects Fund that will be applied towards parks capital projects. • $1,042,421 to Fund #311 - Pavement Preservation Fund for pavement preservation projects. • $359,182 to Fund #314 - Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund that will be applied to the grade separation project at Pines Road. SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS Budget Summary for All Funds • Based upon funding levels anticipated in the 2026 budget, city staff will strive to maintain adequate levels of service. • Appropriations for all city funds will total $134.2 million including $35.4 million in capital expenditures, comprised in part of: o $1.9 million in Fund #101 — Street Fund o $5.9 million in Fund #303 — Street Capital Projects o $894,000 in Fund #309 — Park Capital Projects o $4.8 million in Fund #311 — Pavement Preservation Projects o $16.9 million in Fund #314 — Railroad Grade Separation Projects o $4.5 million in Fund #402 — Stormwater Management Projects o $320,000 in Fund #501 — Equipment Rental and Replacement • To partially offset the $35.4 million in capital costs, we anticipate $24.5 million in grant revenues which results in about 69% of capital expenditures being covered with state and federal money. • Budgets will be adopted across 31 separate funds. • The funded full-time equivalent employee (FTE) count will remain the same in 2026 at 118.25. • The 2026 Budget reflects the twelfth consecutive year the City will set aside city monies in an amount equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures for pavement preservation in Fund #311 — Pavement Preservation. However, approximately $1 million of this that has historically come from a recurring transfer from the General Fund is now being provided as a nonrecurring transfer from the Capital Reserve Fund #312 due to budget constraints in the General Fund. • Positions and salary ranges are based on the city's compensation and classification plan. • Payroll tax and benefit amounts are based on staff benefit plans. • Contract costs for public safety, park maintenance, aquatics and street maintenance are based on estimates by city staff. • The City sets money aside in Fund #501 — Equipment Rental and Replacement for the eventual replacement of its vehicles as well as a reserve to replace equipment in the kitchen at CenterPlace and major IT equipment. • The City sets money aside in Fund #503 — Public Safety Equipment Replacement for the eventual replacement of police vehicles and other public safety equipment. 2026 General Fund Revenues • Total recurring 2026 revenues are estimated at $68.6 million as compared to $64.1 million in 2025, which is an increase of $4.5 million or 7.05%. • The two largest sources of revenue continue to be Sales Tax and Property Tax which are collectively estimated to account for 80.24% of 2026 General Fund recurring revenues. • The 2026 general sales tax estimate (excluding criminal justice and public safety sales taxes) is currently estimated at $33.5 million which reflects an increase of $541,200 or 1.64% over the 2025 estimate. • The Property Tax levy does not include the potential annual increase allowed by State law. o The 2026 levy is estimated at $14,309,800. o The levy assumes we start with the 2025 levy of $14,109,800, forgo the potential annual increase allowed by State law, and finally add taxes related to new construction which we estimate to be $200,000. • Franchise fees and business registrations are primarily based on projected receipts in 2025. • State shared revenues are based upon a combination of historical collections including 2025 collections through July, and per capita distribution figures reported by the Municipal Research and Services Center. • Fines and forfeitures are estimated by Spokane Valley and based on historical collections. • Building permit and land use fees are estimated by Spokane Valley and based on historic collections. 2026 General Fund Expenditures • Total 2026 recurring expenditures are budgeted at $68.5 million as compared to $63.5 million in 2025. This is an increase of $4.9 million or 7.74%. o The increase of 7.74% consists of an increase of 11.85% in Public Safety costs and an increase of 0.78% in all other General Fund Departments. • The City commitment of 6% of recurring General Fund expenditures to pavement preservation equals $3.8 million and is computed by multiplying total recurring expenditures prior to adding the pavement preservation element ($3.8 million / $68.5 million = 6%). The $3.8 million that is transferred to Pavement Preservation Fund #311 is comprised of the following: • $0 from General Fund #001 — Could not be afforded in the General Fund for 2026 due to budget constraints in that fund • $1.4 million from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301 • $1.4 million from REST 2 Capital Projects Fund #302 • $1 million from Capital Reserve Fund #312 — One-time transfer that will be evaluated annually Nonrecurring expenditures total $1 .8 million and include: o $40,000 for Information Technology expenditures including: ■ $20,000 to replace outdated copiers ■ $10,000 to replace physical server equipment ■ $10,000 for a software contingency o $544,000 for the replacement of police vehicles ■ This was originally part of the recurring expenditures but is now being done as a nonrecurring item as funding is available due to budget constraints in the General Fund. o $58,000 for various Facilities items including: ■ $30,000 to replace carpeting and paint at CenterPlace ■ $18,000 for four portable heating/AC units ■ $10,000 for PCB boards in case of HVAC failures at City Hall o $425,000 in professional services for the City's update of the Comprehensive Plan o $80,000 to refresh the audio/visual equipment in the Great Room at CenterPlace o $652,831 transfer out to the Public Safety Equipment Replacement Fund #503 for future replacement costs of police vehicles already purchased in prior years ■ This was originally part of the recurring expenditures but is now being done as a nonrecurring item as funding is available due to budget constraints in the General Fund. General Fund Revenues Over (Under) Expenditures and Fund Balance • 2026 recurring revenues are anticipated to exceed recurring expenditures by $121,547. • Total 2026 expenditures are anticipated to exceed total revenues by $1,253,284. • The total unrestricted General Fund ending fund balance is anticipated to be $41.4 million at the end of 2026 which is 60.54% of total recurring expenditures of $68.5 million. Our goal is to maintain an ending fund balance of at least 50.0%. Highlights of Other Funds Revenues • Motor vehicle fuel tax (MVFT) revenue that is collected by the State and remitted to the City is estimated to be $2 million according to per capita estimates provided by the Municipal Research and Services Center. Of this amount, $2 million will be credited to the Street O&M Fund #101 and 0.42% or $8,500 to the Paths and Trails Fund #103. • Telephone taxes that are remitted to the City and support Street Fund operations and maintenance are anticipated to be $960,000. • Real estate excise tax (REST) revenue is computed by the City and is primarily used to match grant funded street projects as well as pay a portion of the annual payment on the 2014 general obligation bonds. In 2026 we estimate these revenues to be $1,500,000 per each %% for a total of $3,000,000. • Hotel/Motel tax revenues are computed by the City and are dedicated to the promotion of visitors and tourism. In 2026 we estimate the tax will generate $1,490,000, which includes $900,000 in Fund #105 Hotel / Motel Tax Fund from the 2% tax and $590,000 in Fund #104 Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund from the 1.3% tax. • The City began receiving the affordable and supportive housing sales tax in 2020 and will receive these revenues as a rebate of the State's sales taxes for 20 years. The amount received by the City is capped at 0.0146% of the taxable retail sales within the City for fiscal year 2019, and the revenues may only be used to support affordable housing or rental assistance within the City as outlined in RCW 82,14.540. These revenues are estimated at $193,000 in 2026 in the Affordable and Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund #108. • The Tourism Promotion Fees in the Tourism Promotion Area Fund #109 is estimated to be $1,300,000 in 2025. This estimated amount is based on a daily lodging charge of $4.00 per room night assessed on qualified lodging businesses (40 or more lodging units) within the City of Spokane Valley. • Vehicle License Fees in the Transportation Benefit District Fund #111 are estimated to be $1,800,000 in 2026. This estimate is based on vehicle counts in the City of Spokane Valley from the Washington Department of Licensing multiplied by the $20 license fee. • The Stormwater Management Fee is based on an equivalent residential unit (ERU) that is equal to 3,160 square feet of impervious surface that is billed at a rate of $60 per single family residence and $60 per ERU for commercial properties (an ERU for a commercial property is computed as total square feet of impervious surface divided by 3,160). In 2026 we estimate this fee will generate $6,170,000. • Grant revenues that will be applied to a variety of construction projects are estimated at $24.5 million in 2026. By fund, we anticipate grant revenues as follows: o Fund #001 — General Fund - $861,500 o Fund #303 — Street Capital Projects - $4.6 million o Fund #309 — Parks Capital Projects - $375,500 o Fund #311 — Pavement Preservation - $2.1 million o Fund #314 — Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund - $16.5 million Expenditures • Fund #101 — Street Fund appropriations include: o $7.6 million for maintenance of city streets, including $1.7 million in snow operations and $2.7 million in traffic related services. • Fund #105 — Hotel/Motel Tax Fund appropriations include: o $960,000 for tourism promotion activities. • Fund #106 —Solid Waste Fund appropriations include: o $230,201 for Education/Contract Administration. • Fund #109 — Tourism Promotion Area Fund appropriations include: o $1.8 million for Professional Services. • Fund #303 — Street Capital Projects Fund includes an appropriation of $5.9 million for a variety of street construction projects. • Fund #309 — Parks Capital Projects includes a $893,874 appropriation to cover Greenacres Park improvements. • Fund #311 — Pavement Preservation includes $4.8 million of pavement preservation projects that will be financed through transfers from other City funds as outlined above under the heading of General Fund Recurring Expenditures. • Fund #314 — Railroad Grade Separation Projects includes appropriations in the amount of 16.9 million towards the Pines Road Grade Separation project and the Sullivan Road Interchange project. • Fund #402 — Stormwater Fund includes $8.9 million in expenditures, including: o $4.3 million for the maintenance of the city's stormwater facilities o $4.5 million for various capital projects o $100,000 for the studies related to the city's Stormwater permit and the watershed • Fund #403 — Aquifer Protection Area Fund includes a $1,000,000 appropriation to various capital projects City's Foundation and Mission Spokane Valley's foundation is based on the city's primary objective to be responsive, focused on customer service, open to the public, progressive, efficient, lean and fair while providing a high quality of life. Citizen involvement, along with guidance from the City Council, established the city's vision, core beliefs and customer service standards. These foundations influence the development of the City Council goals for each year as well as the goals of the individual departments. Spokane Valley Vision Statement A city of opportunities where people thrive and businesses prosper. Core Beliefs Supporting this vision are the core beliefs of Spokane Valley that were established through the December 2007 adoption of Resolution 07-019, which in part reads: ■ We believe 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. ■ 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. ■ 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. ■ 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. ■ 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. ■ 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's imperative to have an expanded and diverse economic base. ■ 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 ■ 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 the public reasonable advance notice when issues are to be brought forward for discussion c) Establishing and maintaining a formal citywide customer service program with an emphasis on timely response, a user-friendly atmosphere and an attitude of facilitation and accommodation within the bounds of responsibility, integrity and 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 Customer Service Standards The commitment to provide excellent customer service for our citizens, businesses and visitors resulted in the development of customer service standards. The city's goal is to deliver service that is complete, consistent and equitable to all our customers and is based on the principles of integrity, respect and responsiveness. Regardless of the reason for, the method, or frequency of contact, our customers will be treated with courtesy, respect and professionalism. Customer service standards are divided into three categories: • Be Respectful o Demonstrating courtesy and professionalism o Listening effectively o Responding in a timely manner o Exemplifying a no -surprise atmosphere ■ Be Knowledgeable o Fostering a team -oriented approach o Providing alternatives o Anticipating questions o Having and/or knowing your resources o Being organized • Be Welcoming o Acknowledging customers when they enter o Steering customers in the right direction o Promoting an enjoyable work environment o Maintaining a clean and uncluttered work environment o Treating people as individuals Financial Projection This budget document is the tool we use to guide the City forward in accomplishing the Council's goals while remaining squarely within the current budget and forecasted projections. Over time, this provides the City with a good indicator of the progress the City is making to provide high -quality services in a cost-effective way while remaining within budget and forecasted projections. Based on the Financial Projection, department budgets have been thoroughly reviewed to keep 2026 expenditures in line with projected revenues. The City views the changes in the economy as an opportunity to reevaluate goals and strategies to meet the challenges set before us. As an open, collaborative government, we continue to encourage our citizens to provide the necessary feedback as we endeavor to plan our city's future together. The Financial Forecast is limited to five years as it becomes increasingly difficult to forecast economic indicators beyond a five-year horizon. It is important to note that the Financial Projection is an imperfect tool, which is why it is updated on an ongoing basis. The following General Fund financial projection is being created following a period of relatively robust tax collections that have continued due to economic stimulus provided during the COVID- 19 pandemic, as well as high inflation. The high levels of inflation kept sales tax collections at high levels through 2023 while also increasing city costs. However, sales tax collections began flattening throughout 2024, causing challenges with balancing revenues and expenditures for the 2025 budget and beyond.

Impact Summary The General Fund forecast for the years 2027 through 2030 uses the adopted 2026 Budget as a beginning point and currently assumes levels of service that are identical to those provided by the City in 2026. Rather than a hard and fast prediction of the City's future finances, this is a planning tool that allows us to determine how best to match existing and proposed programs and levels of service with anticipated financial resources and make adjustments if necessary. It is noteworthy that the Estimated Beginning Unrestricted Fund Balance figure listed in 2026 is as of October 14, 2025, and is based upon preliminary and unaudited figures. As we progress through the process of "closing the 2025 books" we anticipate this figure will change due to the fact we will continue to record both 2025 revenues and expenses as we begin the 2026 fiscal year. External Input As representatives of the citizens of the City of Spokane Valley, the City Council strives to form policy that fairly represents all segments of our community, including residents, businesses and those visiting our City. To maintain balance in serving the different needs that exist in the City of Spokane Valley, it is necessary to receive feedback from customers and constituents. Previously, the City utilized citizen surveys to obtain feedback on various contract services including solid waste and the cable franchising process. Community meetings are used to inform citizens of upcoming planning and infrastructure changes. Citizen input was sought during the development of the original Comprehensive Plan, the most recent Comprehensive Plan Update that was completed in the latter part of 2016 and will continue to be sought on subsequent Comprehensive Plan updates. The City Council utilizes public comment during Council meetings to assist the Councilmembers in decision -making. City staff recognizes the importance of citizen concerns and the role citizens play in the health of our City. THE SV Express System allows citizens to share their concerns and report issues affecting the City. Staff are then able to respond in a timely manner and have a conversation with the citizen to work to resolve the reported concern. The public can also choose to take a more active role in participation through public forums such as public hearings and open house functions as well as through service on advisory committees. In the future, focus groups may be utilized to allow for more focused feedback on a particular subject so Council and staff can get a better feel for how a particular subject is received in the community, thereby allowing citizens to play active roles in guiding the way services are delivered. Internal Input The City of Spokane Valley city staff is comprised of knowledgeable professionals who provide the Council with specialized knowledge to assist them in making informed decisions. From demand analysis, which determines when the workload is heaviest and how to best accommodate it, to staff reports that consider alternative methods of service delivery or other cost -saving measures, employees are invaluable in providing reports that present complex information in a manner that makes it understandable and approachable. In addition, performance measure results are analyzed, summarizing multi -year performances linked to targets and making comparisons to other entities. Employees are often the information conduit from the citizens to the Council, relaying resident concerns and/or changing trends. Staff often bring forward innovative ways of providing efficient service delivery. Strategic planning through several long-range plans allows staff to look at current trends to make future forecasts and continually update plans as necessary. While much public input goes into these documents, the forecasting and planning are done by skilled staffers who strive to create innovative ways of achieving our future vision while meeting current needs, complying with the law, and operating within financial constraints. These include the Comprehensive Plan, Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Five -Year Financial Forecast, CenterPlace Marketing Plan, Parks Master Plan and Streets Master Plan.

Contract Administration regularly evaluates service delivery, examining cost trends, performance and value compared to other liked -size cities. Additionally, a primary focus is ensuring that local tax revenues generated from the City are invested in the community and are not used to subsidize other jurisdictions.

Maintenance work includes snow and ice control, street pavement repairs, traffic signals and signs, landscaping and vegetation control, and many other street maintenance and repair activities. The Street Maintenance Division provides responsive maintenance and repairs for approximately 461 center line miles of City streets. Many of the services overseen by street maintenance staff are contracted services, including street and stormwater maintenance, roadway landscape maintenance, and street sweeping. Additionally, during winter months, city maintenance staff manage snow and ice services utilizing both City -owned and operated equipment, as well as contracted equipment and labor services.

Of this amount, the State remits a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2026 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the distribution back to cities will be $18.33 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 110,200 (per the Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2025) we anticipate the City will collect $2,020,000 in 2026. RCW 47,030.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended for the construction of paths and trails and based upon the 2026 revenue estimate this computes to $8,500. The balance or $2,011,500 will be credited to Fund #101 for Street maintenance and operations. The portion of the motor vehicle tax allocated to the Paths and Trails Fund is by State Law restricted for the construction and/or improvement of paths and trails within the City. Because the cost of such projects is typically much greater than the funds generated in a single year, we typically leave the fund balance untouched until an adequate fund balance is available. The City transferred $50,000 in 2014 and $9,300 in 2016 and $50,000 in 2018 to Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 to be applied towards the Appleway Trail projects.

In 2011, that agreement was extended through November 16, 2014. Committed to ensuring Spokane Valley citizens are provided with solid waste services that are affordable, sustainable, and environmentally responsible, in June 2014 the City of Spokane Valley opted to contract for solid waste transfer, transport and disposal services with Sunshine Recyclers, Inc. Services provided under the contract were effective November 17, 2014, and continue for a period of ten years with options for two three-year extensions. Terms of the contract require Sunshine to pay the City an annual administrative fee of $125,000 that will be used by the City to offset contract administrative costs and solid waste management within the city, including solid waste public educational efforts. The contract also provides that a road maintenance fee will be paid by Sunshine at the rate of $1 per ton for each ton in excess of 45,500 tons in a single contract year. Payments will be made to the City by March 31 of the year following the calendar year being measured. In June 2017, the City entered a contract with Waste Management for the collection of garbage, recyclables, and compostables for the period of April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2028 with the option of two additional two-year extensions. Terms of the contract required Waste Management to pay the City a one-time fee of $47,500 upon contract execution to reimburse the City for the costs of procuring the contract. Waste Management is also required to pay the City an monthly administrative fee of 12.5% of gross receipts. During the years of 2013 and 2014, the General Fund #001 funded various studies and fees related to the solid waste program and transferred $60,000 to the Solid Waste Fund #106 for the purpose of providing information materials and marketing necessary to inform residents and businesses of the change in solid waste transfer, transport and disposal. The total amount paid out of the General Fund for these expenditures was $202,121. Beginning in 2015 the Solid Waste Fund will reimburse the General Fund for these costs over a 5-year period, which equated to an annual payment of $40,425 in the years 2015 through 2018, and a final payment of $40,422 in 2019.

As part of operating a homeless and housing program, the City first needed to form a Homeless Housing Task Force and adopt a five-year homeless housing action plan that identifies how the City will work to eliminate homelessness consistent with the State's adopted strategic plan. Document recording fees are collected by Spokane County and passed through to the City based on the City's proportionate share of real estate excise tax (REET) collected on a monthly basis.

The bonds were issued for the purpose of constructing the CenterPlace facility. As a part of the bond issuance the City agreed to establish a $300,000 operating reserve account that could be used to make debt service payments on the bonds and/or pay for operating expenses of CenterPlace. If at any time the City were to draw on these reserves it would have to prepare and follow a plan for reinstatement of those funds drawn. This reserve is required to be in place for the life of the bonds which run through December 1, 2033.

The Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund serves as an emergency source of temporary financing to the General Fund in the event a downturn in the local economy resulted in a reduction of revenues that would otherwise compromise either the General Fund's minimum 50% reserve balance or historical levels of service. If an event such as a downturn in the economy resulted in the General Fund reserves dropping below 50% of recurring expenditures, then the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund could be drawn against to maintain the fund balance minimum. The use of this reserve balance is outlined in the Fiscal Policies at the beginning of this budget document.

In the event the City draws against this fund in any given winter, we will strive to replenish the balance back to approximately $500,000 through subsequent years' transfers. Due to the uncertainty of when this fund might be drawn upon we actually budget the same $500,000 in both 2025 and 2026 even though we recognize there exists only $500,000 to address this issue if it should arise.

When LTGO bonds are issued the City irrevocably pledges the full faith, credit and resources necessary to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and statutory limitations pertaining to non -voted general obligations. In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance both the construction of CenterPlace and road and street improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order to take advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond payments (much like refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this total: • $5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 20-year period ending December 1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District. At January 1, 2026, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $2,145,000. • $1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 10-year period ending December 1, 2023. Annual debt service payments on these bonds were provided by equal distributions from the 1 st and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax (Funds #301 and #302). This debt was completely liquidated during 2023. In 2016 the City issued $7,275,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to finance the construction of a new City Hall building along with $6.3 million of City cash that has been set aside for this purpose. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 30-year period ending December 1, 2045. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by transfers in from the General Fund. At January 1, 2026, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be $5,665,000.

The initial sources of revenue to set-up the fund reserves were transfers from the General Fund during 2005 through 2007, and as recently as December 31, 2009, this fund had a fund balance of $5,828,600, During 2010 and 2011 the City determined that street repairs and reconstruction represented a more immediate City need and opted to expend nearly $2,000,000 of the fund balance for these projects. The projects themselves were part of a septic tank elimination program (STEP) initiated by Spokane County that resulted in the installation of sewer lines down many City streets. At that time the City decided to completely reconstruct the effected streets rather than patch them. In 2012 the City used this fund to finance a variety street related capital projects as well as the $2.5 million acquisition of an 8.4 acre parcel of land on Sprague Avenue that is adjacent to Balfour Park. Partially offsetting the cost of the land acquisition was the subsequent sale of 2.82 acres of this parcel to the Spokane County Library District who had planned to construct a library building consisting of no less than 30,000 square feet. In order for the Library District to actually construct a new building on this site they first had to have a successful voted bond issue to provide the necessary financing. In the event the Library District is unable to pass a bond, they may sell the 2.82 acres parcel back to the City for the original purchase price of $839,285. An amendment was made to the interlocal agreement in October 2017 which extended the agreement through October 2022 with the option to extend through October 2024. Through this amendments, the City also agreed to contribute $1.3 million, of which the $839,285 would be part, in frontage and/or joint site improvements on the Library site. Construction on the frontage improvements occurred in 2021 and 2022 and the construction of the new library began in 2022, The remaining improvements were made during 2023 during Balfour Park construction activities. In 2015 the General Fund began to make two annual transfers to this fund that were each related to the eventual construction of a new City Hall facility. These transfers ended after 2016: • The first transfer in the amount of $72,500, when added to the City's $434,600 annual lease payment for space in its current space totals $507,100 which was the amount we anticipated our annual bond repayment would be if we were to issue approximately $8,000,000 of limited tax general obligation bonds with a 2% issue cost over 30-years at 4.50%. • The second transfer was our estimate of the annual operating costs of a City Hall facility including utilities, janitorial, grounds maintenance and snow removal, and operating and maintenance supplies. The purpose behind making these transfers beginning in 2015 was to "create" this appropriation capacity within the General Fund. These amounts were transferred out to the General Fund in 2016 and 2017 in order to cover lease payments for the prior City Hall location in years in which the City had both a lease payment and a bond payment for the new City Hall building.

Because this is a Capital Project Fund whose sole purpose is to provide for Pavement Preservation projects, any money not expended in a given year will remain in the fund and will be available for re -appropriation in subsequent years. The fund balance of Fund #123 was exhausted with the 2016 transfer of $559,808 as a consequence of following this funding strategy. During the 2025 budget development, it was determined that the General Fund could not support a recurring transfer to the Fund #311 due to budget constraints. Going forward, a nonrecurring transfer will be made at the discretion of Council and as funds are available. In 2026 the Pavement preservation will be funded by Transfers of $2,744,300 from the REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301, REST 2 Capital Projects Fund #302, and $1,042,421 from fund #312. The City will take advantage of grant programs directed at pavement preservation as they become available. payed Budget Summary Revenues Transfers in-#001 $ 1,001,800 $ 1,011,800 $ 1,021,900 $ 0 $ 0 Transfers in-#101 0 1,372,761 0 0 0 Transfers in - #106 3,194 0 0 0 0 Transfers in-#301 550,242 754,668 1,170,350 1,372,150 1,372,150 Transfers in-#302 914,900 899,889 1,170,350 1,372,150 1,372,150 Transfers in-#312 0 0 0 1,032,100 1,042,421 Investment Interest 73,149 138,460 47,508 0 0 Grant Proceeds 2,052,175 2,643,916 1,113,963 112,011 9,734,124 Total revenues 4,595,460 6,821,494 4,524,071 3,888,411 13,520,845 Expenditures Pavement preservation 3,523,847 6,632,747 4,654,888 2,000,000 13,865,875 Pre -project GeoTech 0 0 0 50,000 50,000 Transfer out - #101 (local streets) 0 2,677,099 0 0 0 Total expenditures 3,523,847 9,309,846 4,654,888 2,050,000 13,915,875 Revenues over (under) expenditures 1,071,613 (2,488,352) (130,817) 1,838,411 (395,030) Beginning fund balance 5,544,087 6,615,700 4,127,348 3,996,531 5,834,942 Ending fund balance $ 6,615,700 $ 4,127,348 $ 3,996,531 $ 5,834,942 $ 5,439,912 This fund was created in 2013 to be used to account for the accumulation of resources for yet to be determined capital projects.

The City has performed several studies to determine the impact areas on which the fees are being imposed. All fees collected must be applied to transportation system improvements identified in the corresponding study.

Boundaries of the APA included portions of unincorporated areas (including what is now Spokane Valley) and the cities of Liberty Lake, Millwood and Spokane. In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley approved a resolution authorizing the inclusion of its municipal boundaries within the APA. The APA program was subsequently reauthorized through 2025 with voter approval. All fees are collected by Spokane County and include: • An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the APA. • An annual fee of $15 per household for on -site sewage disposal within the APA. • For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water meter size. In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley (City) entered into an interlocal agreement with Spokane County (County) that authorized the County to collect and retain APA fees through 2010 for a variety of projects including: • up to $100,000 annually through 2010 to the Spokane Regional Health District to provide for data base management related to monitoring of septic tanks and their potential impact on water quality in the Spokane Valley Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. • a septic tank elimination program (STEP) designed to replace septic tanks with sanitary sewer systems. In the 2004 interlocal agreement the City and County also agreed that for the years 2011 through 2025 the APA fees remaining after the payment of reasonable administration and billing fees incurred by the County would be distributed annually between the County, City and City of Spokane on a proportional basis relative to the amount generated in unincorporated areas, the City and City of Spokane. The fees collected on the City's behalf by Spokane County are expended entirely on stormwater related projects that are designed to protect the aquifer. These fees plus grant monies received from a number of granting agencies finance a variety of capital projects.

This fund operates by charging each City department a monthly rental rate for the vehicles they use. The fee is based upon the estimated useful life of the vehicle and its replacement cost. The theory behind this program is that it allows City departments to budget vehicle replacement costs as a reoccurring expense over an extended period of time rather than as an intermittent capital expense that may be difficult to afford in any single year. In the event a City department requires an additional vehicle that actually adds to the fleet rather than simply replaces an existing vehicle, then that department must budget for the initial purchase price and transfer the necessary funds to the ER&R Fund to make the acquisition. In subsequent years the department will then begin paying a replacement fee spread out over the estimated useful life of the new vehicle. Beginning in 2017 a CenterPlace Kitchen Reserve was established through a transfer in from the General Fund in the amount of $36,600 per year for 5 years to build a total reserve of $183,000, which is the estimated replacement cost of the significant kitchen appliances and equipment at CenterPlace. Snow Plow Replacement Program The snow plow fleet currently consists of nine plow trucks. Six of the trucks are equipped with sanders and three of the trucks are equipped with 1,000-gallon tanks for placement of liquid deicer. Over the past five years the City has continued to improve the snow removal operations and has updated the snow plan accordingly. These improvements in snow operations have dictated that operating nine plows is a very efficient way to remove snow from the arterial and hillside roadways. Operating nine plows allows the performance of a full city arterial and designated hillsides plow in approximately 12 hours. In the future new plows will be purchased to replace the aging fleet as noted below and older plows will serve as backups and eventually be retired from the fleet beginning in 2022. The recommended snow plow fleet consists of eleven plows with two serving as backup plows. The two backup plows ensure that arterial roadways and hillside priority roadways can be cleared of snow per the snow plan. Having backup plows provides the City with additional plows that can be deployed in case of a mechanical breakdown or an accident during a winter storm event.

The Risk Management Fund was established to account for all such related revenues and expenses. Revenues for this fund are comprised almost entirely from an annual transfer of money from the General Fund and the single largest expense is typically the insurance premium the City pays to our insurance provider, the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA).

Petition For Terrace View Park Leash Ordinance Terrace View Park is a treasured community space in Spokane Valley, WA, cherished by residents for its natural beauty and open areas. It's a space where neighborhood bonds are strengthened and where many community activities take place. For the many dog owners who live in the area, on -leash laws are restrictive, preventing pets from enjoying full freedom to exercise and socialize safely. We propose designating the hours of 6 AM to 9 AM as off -leash hours for dogs at Terrace View Park. This time slot was carefully chosen to minimize impact on non -dog owners and other park - goers. Early morning hours typically see less crowded conditions, ensuring a peaceful environment for all visitors. Allowing dogs to be off -leash during these hours would significantly benefit both dogs and their owners. Dogs would have the opportunity to exercise more vigorously and socialize with other dogs, which is essential for their physical and mental health. This request aligns with similar successful initiatives across the country, where parks have designated off -leash times and spaces to promote responsible pet ownership while balancing the interests of the entire community. We believe that Spokane Valley can follow these examples, promoting a pet -friendly community spirit. We call upon the Spokane Valley Parks and Recreation Department to consider this proposal, engage with local residents, and implement a pilot program to assess its feasibility and benefits. We believe that with your support, we can create a more inclusive, vibrant community space for all. Please sign this petition to encourage Spokane Valley officials to give our dogs the freedom they deserve at Terrace View Park during early morning hours.

Name Address Phone ��- City Council Meeting — October 21, 2025 Topic: When Councilmember Merkel Meets Cybersecurity Good evening, Mayor, Deputy Mayor, Councilmembers, and City Leadership. My name is Ben Lund — a 37-year resident of Spokane Valley and proud small-business owner serving this community for the past 25 years. I'd like to begin by offering sincere congratulations to our City Staff and to City Manager John Hohman. We truly live in one of the greatest cities in all of Washington. In just the past few months, Mr. Hohman received a prestigious leadership award, and the City earned statewide recognition for excellence in street maintenance. That's something for all of us to celebrate — proof that professionalism, teamwork, and steady leadership make a real difference. However, professionalism must also extend to this dais. Ad hominem — a legal term describing when a speaker attacks a person's character instead of addressing the substance of their argument — has become far too common here. That behavior has been directed toward me by individuals including Mike Dolan, Daryl Williams, Bob West, Mrs. Rojas, and Catherine Nelson. What gives you the right to chastise our City leadership — and me — under the very definition of ad hominem? WlwA T Vµ1l—o � ice-!-aw-4isrespeot,-and-unprofessional . �f- +Vrf1 conduct—paieularly-bC--ouneilirrember--Merkel_— I am often in rr tt2 e nr cilP�� r But freedom of speech belongs to every citizen — not just those who agree with you. Now, let's talk about cybersecurity. At the October 14th meeting, Councilmember Merkel publicly suggested disclosing details of the City's cybersecurity readiness. City Manager Hohman and Mayor Haley immediately clarified that those details are confidential for a reason — to protect Spokane Valley's systems and residents. Councilmember Merkel's comments were not just reckless; they demonstrate a serious lack of understanding about cybersecurity law and operational security. Under RCW 9A.80.010(1)(b), this conduct meets the threshold of Official Misconduct — when a public official knowingly violates the law relating to their office. If Councilmember Merkel and his coalition cannot follow basic standards of confidentiality and respect for city operations, what will they do if elected?
