The purpose of Broadlinc is to coordinate with local governments, tribes, public and private organizations, non-profit organizations and consumer -owed and investor -owned utilities to expand Public Benefit Open Access Broadband Networks in areas of Spokane County. Broadlinc is currently managed by a 5-person governing board, consisting of one Spokane County Commissioner, the Spokane County Chief Executive Officer, the Spokane County Public Works Director, one elected representative appointed from towns/cities with populations under 50,000, and one elected representative appointed from cities having a population over 50,000. As a Public Development Authority (PDA), Broadlinc has the authority to seek and administer grant programs, seek public loan opportunities, and enter into both public -public and public -private partnerships to achieve its goals. One component of Broadlinc is the Broadband Action Team (BAT), an advisory group composed of dozens of business members and organizations helping to inform strategic initiatives for Broadlinc. Currently, BAT is focusing on: 1) broadband infrastructure enhancements for unserved and underserved populations, and 2) digital equity and access to increase broadband access among eligible populations. The City, as part of its Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), has developed corridors of fiber optic cable networks which provide broadband service to the City's traffic control system network. To accommodate growth in the ITS system and the City's ability to manage its traffic control system, the City has developed an overall ITS Master Plan. This Plan provides a framework for expansion of the City's system to provide ITS facilities citywide. As noted above, one of the main priorities of Broadlinc is to partner with local governments to better the broadband coverage throughout the County. City staff and Broadlinc have identified areas where it would be beneficial for both entities to partner in expanding the City's fiber optic network while allowing Broadlinc to expand its network and capabilities to attain its goals. There are two revenue opportunities available to the COSV through partnership with Broadlinc. 1) The City can generate new revenue by leasing excess capacity on City owned fiber and conduit to Broadlinc, and 2) Broadlinc partners with Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who pay a monthy fee for each new subscriber they serve through the Broadlinc network. Broadlinc uses this revenue to operate the fiber system, but the City would receive the remainder of these funds which increases with each subscriber address serviced on the Broadlinc network within the City limits. The attached Draft Interlocal Agreement (ILA) provides for the City to become an active member of Broadlinc and develop the partnership between the City and Broadlinc to further both agency objectives. This ILA is similar to that executed by Broadlinc with the cities of Spokane, Airway Heights, Medical Lake and Deer Park, and the towns of Fairfield, Latah, Rockford and Waverly. The ILA does not represent a financial commitment between the parties, but a vehicle to "come to the table" to discuss project options and determine the preferred COSV agreement structure depending on location and timing of the COSV's ITS Master Plan expansion. Member agencies of Broadlinc are not responsible for the finances of Broadlinc as it is its own entity. Currently, the City of Spokane sits as the large cities representative but it is our understanding that the board is seeking Spokane Valley representation moving into the new year. Ariane Schmidt, the Broadlinc Executive Director, will provide more information about Broadlinc's goals and objectives and how a partnership with the City would benefit both entities. OPTIONS: Move forward with the ILA and participate on the Broadlinc board or not. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager or designee, to enter into the attached ILA with Broadlinc. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There are no anticipated general fund budget or financial impacts to the City in regard to partnering with Broadlinc. However, partnering with Broadlinc provides direct fiber/conduit rental and/or ISP subscriber income opportunities for the City and a mechanism for Broadlinc and the City to seek grant funding to expand the City's ITS infrastructure that will support Broadlinc's goal of providing broadband service to all areas of the County.

BACKGROUND: (Attach separate sheet(s) if necessary): Pursuant to the provisions RCW 43.330.530 through RCW43.330.538, Spokane County may coordinate with local governments, tribes, public and private entities, nonprofit organizations, and consumer -owned and investor -owned utilities to develop strategies and plans promoting deployment of broadband infrastructure and greater broadband access, while protecting proprietary information. The purpose of such actions being to encourage, foster, develop, and improve affordable, quality broadband accessibility for underserved, and unserved communities and populations in Spokane County. FISCAL IMPACT (Amount & source offunds): Internal staff support and startup costs with no planned general fund obligations REQUESTED BOARD ACTION: Approve This Item will need to be codified in the Spokane County Code: No C3R*ADLINC Executive Summary PDA Member City Benefits: City of Spokane Valley January2026 Overview The Spokane Regional Broadband Development Authority (PDA) Broad lincwas formed by the Spokane County Commissioners in late 2022 to oversee and expand Public Benefit Open Access Broadband Networks. Broadlinc membership is composed of the incorporated towns and cities through Interlocal Agreements (ILA) and the county. Oversight of the Broadlinc PDA is through a separate governing board and subcommittees with board representation. Below are two revenue opportunities available to Broadlinc Member Cities: �;urrent Excess Capacity A city can generate new revenue by leasing excess fiber and conduit capacity to Broadlinc alongside new construction for its countywide network expansion. Because the city already owns the physical conduit and fiber, leasing unused strands or conduit space reduces new r construction costs. The city may then reinvest lease funds into maintaining and expanding its own municipal infrastructure. This approach supports economic development, encourages competition among service providers, and creates a sustainable, non -tax revenue stream for the city. Subscriber Expansion Broadlinc works with partner Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who pay a monthly fee for each new subscriber they serve through the Broadlinc network. This predictable, subscription -style fee structure helps ISPs • avoid the high upfront cost of building fiber (especially in remote rural areas) and encourages competition through expanding broadband options for residents and businesses. Broadlinc, as the network owner, uses recurring revenue for ongoing maintenance, system upgrades, and long-term financial sustainability ensuring the network remains open, neutral, and accessible to multiple providers. Broadlinc member cities receive a remainder to their general fund for subscriber addresses served on the Broadlinc networkwithin their city limits'. ' This includes subscriber service from Broadlinc Fixed Wireless (FW) tower locations within the city limits C3R*ADLINC Executive Summary PDA Member City Benefits: City of Spokane Valley January2026 Agreements Interlocal Agreement (ILA) between the City of Spokane Valley and Broadlinc allows the government entities to cooperate, share resources, and/orjointly provide services. There is no obligation for the parties to work together, but an ILA allows them to do so if mutually beneficial. Additional Agreements — Franchise Agreement(s) grants Broadlinc permission from the City of Spokane Valley to use public assets - such as rights -of -way (ROW). — Lease Agreement(s) grants Broadlinc the right to use property owned by the City of Spokane Valley -such as fiber optic conduit and cable -in exchange for a rent. In short, the ILA allows for coordination between public entities, franchise agreements authorize an entity to operate in a specific area, and lease agreements govern the rental use of property. For broadband construction projects within the city limits, Broadlinc will utilize the current Permitting process requirements of the City of Spokane Valley. Examples of Broadlinc Member Revenue Opportunities Each city brings a unique combination of contribution and opportunity to their Broadlinc Membership with an ILA.

City's Homeless & Housing Task Force recommended, and City Council approved awarding the contract to Frontier Behavioral Health (FBH). On December 23, 2024, the City Council moved to authorize staff to apply for a grant through Spokane County Housing and Community Development (HCD). November 25, 2025, Council reached consensus to amend and increase the FBH contract to include additional services. BACKGROUND/GRANT OPPORTUNITY: The Spokane County HCD recently released the 2026 Request for Proposal (RFP) to allocate federal, state, and local funds. The Homeless Services grants are intended to assist local governments and nonprofits by providing resources to fund homeless crisis response systems to support communities in ending homelessness. The Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program supports community development activities, principally for individuals of low and moderate incomes (LMI), to build stronger and more resilient communities by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanded economic opportunities. City staff has coordinated with HCD staff to identify potential opportunities for 1) partially funding the City's Homeless Outreach Program and 2) a Utility Connection Assistance Program to support the Grace Sewer project which is scheduled to begin in 2026. Funding recommendations are made by the HCD Advisory Committee (HCDAC) and presented to the Board of County Commissioners for deliberation and formal decision. The City has four representatives that serve in HCDAC. Homeless Services programs will be awarded a one-year contract, resulting in a period of performance from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, whereas the CDBG Capital funding has a minimum period of performance of 18 months. The CDBG Capital contracts will begin July 1, 2026 and extend to the end of 2027 or beyond, depending on the project or program. Key grant information includes: • Applications are due on February 20, 2026, by 12:00 pm PST • Approximately $1 M is potentially available for CDBG Capital funding • Approximately $635K is potentially available for Outreach Services which expand existing homeless service response • There is no match required City staff are requesting to submit grant applications for the following two programs: Page 1 of 3 1) Spokane Valley Homeless Outreach Program On July 1, 2024, the City entered into a contract for homeless outreach services with Frontier Behavioral Health (FBH). The City was subsequently awarded partial funding for the Homeless Outreach program. The City's Outreach model combines two SVPD Homeless Outreach Officer and two social workers that co -deploy as a single unit in the field, each specializing in and focusing on their respective roles to provide more versatile and responsive services both to those experiencing homelessness, and to the community at large. The Outreach team conducts pro -active outreach activities to contact and engage those who may be experiencing homelessness. The Outreach Team also responds to concerns regarding issues related to homelessness in the City. Case -workers and supervisors in the office also work to connect the individuals with resources and provide the tools so they can receive assistance such as obtaining identifications, making appointments, arranging transportation to appointments, etc. After initial contact is made with someone experiencing homelessness, significant follow-up may be required to connect the person with housing and other needed services. The outreach team is critical for the city's ability to respond effectively and efficiently to community concerns. The current cost for the current Homeless Outreach program is approximately $265,000 per year. The City's application in 2025 was awarded $180,000 of the $435,000 requested, which may be reimbursed over a two-year period. Staff recommends applying for a grant to assist in partially covering the cost of the homeless outreach program and the expansion of services. The scope of work for the Homeless Outreach Program is eligible for this RFP. 2) Grace Sewer Project: Utility Connection Assistance Program Spokane County's Grace Sewer project will install sewer infrastructure in a neighborhood in Spokane Valley located west of Barker Road and south of Euclid Avenue, adjacent to the Spokane River. The project is scheduled to be out to bid early 2026. Due to the location of the homes and the ground level near the river, some of the properties in the Grace neighborhood will require a low-pressure sewer grinder pump in the side sewer installation. The approximate cost for the side sewer installation portion is anticipated to be around $15,000 per property. The Spokane County sewer connection fee is currently between $8,000 to $10,000. As such, the total anticipated cost for the homeowner is estimated to be up to $25,000. With the high cost of the installation and hook-up fees for the new sewer system, staff recommend applying for the CDBG capital grant to provide utility assistance funding to those who would qualify under the HUD guidelines. The neighborhood has been identified to meet the CDGB standard for low to moderate income limits, below 80% of LMI. There are 35 parcels in the neighborhood. Preliminary data shows at least 10 households that qualify for Spokane County's senior property tax exemption. Staff recommend continuing to work with Spokane County HCD to develop an application in response to the CDBG Capital funds available for this project. OPTIONS: Discussion only. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Seeking Council consensus to return with a motion consideration authorizing the City Manager or designee to submit the recommended grant Page 2 of 3 applications as discussed herein and to proceed with executing contracts and carrying out the programs related to any resulting awards. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The City is not required to provide a grant match. However, a future budget amendment would be necessary to offset the expenditures and grant revenue for eligible sewer connection/installation reimbursements and homeless program expenditures and grant revenue received through the county. City staff will be responsible for the administration of the contracts, grants, and related programs.

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) funds the CSP and administers the program to the states under the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). The CSP will award $30 million statewide as part of the 2026 Call for Projects. Applications are due March 6, 2026. 100% funding is available across any phase of the project if obligated before April 30, 2029, including preliminary engineering (PE), right-of-way (RW) and construction (CN). There is no match requirement. However, projects must be fully funded between these funding and other sources, if applicable. Applicants are required to include a Local Road Safety Plan (Plan) that addresses fatal and serious injury crashes and systemic safety needs. By analyzing the crash data and conditions present, the City identified and prioritized improvements/countermeasures/projects that address the prominent crash factors and/or locations. Spokane Valley's most prominent crash types are Angle (T) and Hit Pedestrian crashes; most typically occurring on arterial streets or state highways. These streets share similar characteristics/factors: - Posted 35 mph speed - Higher traffic volumes compared to other city streets - Flat terrain, typically wide streetscapes - Numerous cross streets and/or driveways to support the various businesses, shopping centers, service providers, or other traffic -generator sites. - Varying modalities: passenger vehicles, freight vehicles, transit, pedestrians, bicycles. - Example streets/corridors include Sprague Ave., Argonne Rd., Pines Rd. (SR 27), Sullivan Rd., and Trent Ave. (SR 290). The Plan includes the prioritized list of projects and documents how and why the priorities were selected. CSP staff recommends that applicants submit an exhaustive list of projects for funding to allow a variety of funding award options. Generally, there are typical project `types' that are found to deliver the highest benefit and have the highest likelihood of receiving a grant award. Angle M Crashes Angle collisions often result from the following scenarios: - Intersections of crossing streets or intersections of streets and driveways. Typically, one vehicle disregards the traffic control in place, fails to yield, and enters the trafficway at the wrong time, causing a collision. Examples include: o Vehicles traveling perpendicular to each other collide through the intersection of two cross streets. o Vehicles in the primary trafficway turning left and a collision ensues with the vehicle travelling in the opposite direction. Sometimes these are categorized as Angle (Left Turn) collisions but often result in a similar type of collision. o Vehicles entering or exiting driveways cross traffic on the primary street and collide with through traffic. This crash typically occurs when a vehicle is attempting a left turn across traffic. If/when a vehicle is turning right in this type of crash, they are often less severe because traffic is typically moving in the same direction and the opposing forces are lower. To mitigate these types of crashes, industry best practice seeks to eliminate or reduce the frequency of conflicting travel paths between vehicles. The resulting mitigation project often results in a combination of the following: - Roundabouts at intersections: The through -movement and the "T-bone" type conflict is eliminated. Instead, traffic enters the roundabout and merges in the same counterclockwise direction, typically at reduced speeds. Roundabouts also help maintain corridor speeds. Examples include Barker/Sprague, Barker/Trent, 161"/Bowdish. - Centerline medians/curbing to limit left -turn movements: Left turns across traffic to/from driveways or side streets is restricted to specific locations that promote more reliable travel movements. This scenario is typical along the City's arterial streets at signalized intersections. At many of Sprague's signalized intersections there is a median curb along the centerline extending away from the intersection. This curbing prevents crossing traffic movements near congested areas. Similarly, this treatment can be used along non -signalized segments of busier corridors with a similar effect. Examples are N. Sullivan Rd. between Broadway and Mission Avenues or Indiana Ave. between Evergreen Rd. and Sullivan Rd. at the Spokane Valley Mall. - Lane Reconfiguration: Multi -lane arterial streets require users to navigate across two directions of traffic with multiple lanes travelling in each direction. Engineering evaluations are needed to evaluate the projected future traffic volumes of a street segment versus the existing lane configuration's capacity. If applicable, lanes can be reconfigured to reduce lane -crossing maneuvers and resultant exposure to angle type crashes. Examples of this include McDonald Rd. between Sprague and Mission Avenues or Sprague Avenue between Herald and University Roads. Hit Pedestrian Crashes Hit Pedestrian crashes primarily occur on the City's arterial streets or highways, typically posted 35 mph and with higher volumes of vehicle traffic. Nearly all crashes included elements of distraction or failure to yield either by the vehicle or the pedestrian. Most crashes are located along Sprague Ave., Appleway Blvd., N. Argonne Rd., N. Pines Rd (SR 27), and Sullivan Rd. Over recent years, the City has been installing mid -block, protected or enhanced crossings, often with Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacons (RRFBs) or Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons. These projects provide protected or enhanced crossings across the City's arterial street network to provide more known, recognizable locations for users to cross busy streets. Lane reconfigurations are also considered for mitigating Hit Pedestrian crashes to better accommodate safer crossings and a more comfortable travel experience for non -motorized users along the busy street. This effort is consistent with the City's adopted Complete Streets Ordinance 21-012 to deliver projects that are context -sensitive and provide appropriate facilities to best accommodate all users. For reference, recent example installations include (this is not an exhaustive list): - In 2025, two RRFB crossings were installed on Sprague Ave. near Costco and Home Depot. A PHB was installed at City Hall and Balfour Park and the library. WSDOT installed a PHB crossing on SR 27 and 24t" Ave. - In 2026, multiple crossings will be installed at stop -controlled, side street intersections or commercial driveways: o WSDOT will install two or three RRFB crossings on Pines Rd. (SR 27) between Sprague and Mission. o The City will install multiple crossings around the University High School campus along 32nd Ave. and Pines Rd., three RRFB crossings along Broadway Ave. at side street intersections near elementary schools, S. Sullivan Rd. near 101" Ave., and two RRFB crossings along Mansfield near Pines Rd. (SR 27). Proposed Projects for Consideration The following is a preliminary list of projects with potential to align well the funding program priorities and funding requirements. The anticipated schedules for the preliminary project list generally follow this schedule: PE in 2027, RW in 2028 if needed, CN in 2028 or 2029. 1. Angle (T): Roundabout at Barker/Appleway 2. Hit Pedestrian: Arterial Crossings a. Appleway (Farr to University) b. Sprague (Pines to Sullivan) c. Barker (Mission to Garland) d. Park/Cataldo RRFB (RRFB at existing crossing) e. Sprague/Appleway at Coleman OPTIONS: Discussion. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff seeks Council consensus to proceed with the evaluation of the proposed projects. Individual project scope and cost estimates will be developed along with a recommended prioritized project list for funding consideration. The proposed, ranked projects will be provided to Council for a motion consideration at the February 17, 2026, meeting. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None at this time. There is no match requirement for the 2026 City Safety Program call for projects if all phases are obligated by April 30, 2029.
