On April 7, 2026, Council had a first reading of Ordinance 26-005. BACKGROUND: Cryptocurrency emerged in 2009 as a form of digital money that operates without a central bank or government oversight. Essentially, it is a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that was created to allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution. Bitcoin was the first form of cryptocurrency and is the most well-known. As such, Bitcoin is often used to refer broadly to cryptocurrency, although there are many different forms of cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency automated teller machines (ATMs) are physical kiosks, much like traditional ATMs that let you buy, or in some cases sell, cryptocurrency using cash or a debit card. They are often referred to as “Bitcoin ATMs” or “virtual currency kiosks.” Instead of connecting to a bank account and dispensing cash from a checking or savings account, virtual currency kiosks transfer cryptocurrency to a digital wallet. Virtual currency kiosks do not require lengthy account verification processes or bank account linking. This anonymity is easy to take advantage of by scammers. Typically, individuals engaged in scams and fraud schemes direct victims to use a virtual currency kiosk to send payments under false pretenses. The scammers claim that depositing cash into a virtual currency kiosk will fix the fake problem they’ve invented. The scammer will direct the victim to their bank to withdraw cash. Next, they send the victim to a nearby virtual currency kiosk location, likely a specific one, to deposit the cash. The scammer will text a QR code to scan at the machine, and once the victim scans the code, the cash deposit goes directly into the scammer’s digital wallet. Once the cash is deposited, the cryptocurrency is very difficult to track, which often leads to a low chance of recovery if the victim reports the crime. In January of 2024, the Washington State Department of Financial Institutions (“DFI”) issued a consumer alert to notify Washington consumers that there was a rise in the use of virtual currency kiosk to perpetuate fraudulent activity. The federal Financial Crimes Enforcement Network has issued similar notices. Currently there is no state or federal legislation prohibiting cryptocurrency ATMs. At the state level, the Senate passed Senate Bill 5280 last session – a consumer protection bill that establishes daily limits on transactions, establishes limits on fees, requires specific warnings, and requires reporting, among other safeguards. However, SB 5280 did not make it through the House and did not become law. The Spokane Valley Police Department has been tracking and investigating crimes involving cryptocurrency ATMs, and Spokane Valley residents have fallen victim to fraudulent schemes involving virtual currency kiosks. This creates a significant public safety and welfare issue that is affecting citizens. Notably, the City of Spokane unanimously passed an ordinance prohibiting virtual currency kiosks in June of 2025. The City has authority, through its police power, to adopt regulations to protect public health, safety, and welfare. This authorization grants the City power to prohibit virtual currency kiosks in Spokane Valley. Background information on virtual currency kiosks was presented for Council’s consideration at the January 20, 2026 Council meeting. Council gave consensus to move forward with a first reading. The first reading was held on April 7, 2026, and Council moved to advance Ordinance 26-005 to a second reading. The attached proposed ordinance prohibits virtual currency kiosks in Spokane Valley and classifies a violation as a civil infraction. OPTIONS: (1) Move to approve Ordinance 26-005, adopting chapter 7.60 SVMC prohibiting Virtual Currency Kiosks in the City of Spokane Valley, or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve Ordinance 26-005, adopting chapter 7.60 SVMC prohibiting Virtual Currency Kiosks in the City of Spokane Valley. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None anticipated.

This budget was based on projected tourism travel and historical revenue generation. The Commission also recommended including $450,000 in 2025 TPA carryover funds, creating a total 2026 budget of $1,775,000. In addition, the Commission recommended a 2026 Work Plan that uses budgeted funds to purchase destination and sports recruitment marketing services, technology services, and to establish an “Opportunity Fund” to market events and venues in and near Spokane Valley. On Sept. 9, 2025, City Council heard an administrative report and recommended by consensus that staff bring forward a motion to approve the 2026 TPA budget of $1,775,000 and Work Plan. On Sept. 16, 2025, City Council approved a motion to approve the recommended 2026 TPA Budget of $1,775,000 and Work Plan. On Oct. 16, 2025, the TPA Commission approved a recommendation to City Council to divide the 2026 TPA budget of $1,775,000 into four allocations: $875,000 for destination marketing; $700,000 for sports recruitment and marketing; up to $30,000 for technology services; and $170,000 for an Opportunity Fund to support destination events and venues, while also granting the TPA Commission the authority to administer the fund. The Commission was informed at this meeting that an amendment to the city Municipal Code may be necessary to allow the Commission to administer the Opportunity Fund. On Oct. 28, 2025, City Council heard an administrative report and recommended by consensus that staff bring forward a motion to (1) place $170,000 of 2026 TPA revenue into an Opportunity Fund to distribute to destination venues and events based on presented criteria that will be approved by City Council and adopted in the SVMC; and (2) grant the TPA Commission administrative authority to review Opportunity Fund applications and award funding. On Nov. 18, 2025, City Council approved a motion to place $170,000 of 2026 TPA revenue into an Opportunity Fund to distribute to destination venues/events and grant the TPA Commission administrative authority to review Opportunity Fund applications and make grant funding decisions subject to Council review, all pursuant to authority and criteria that Council will review and adopt by separate ordinance at a later date. On Feb. 19, 2026, the TPA Commission, by unanimous consensus, recommended that City Council approve the draft text amendments to Chapter 3.21 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (attached hereto as Ordinance No. 26-006). If adopted, these code text amendments will enable TPA revenue to be utilized to operate a “Tourism Opportunity Fund” andgrant theTPACommissionadministrative authority to review applications and award funding, pending City Council oversight by placing the funding award on the next regularly scheduled consent agenda of City Council, or on the next available non-consent agenda if the funding award is time sensitive and the consent agenda is not an option. On April 28, 2026, staff presented the draft code text amendments to City Council to review, consider, and discuss. City Council voted to advance Ordinance No. 26-006 to a second reading for adoption consideration. BACKGROUND: After City Council approved placing $170,000 of 2026 TPA revenue into an Opportunity Fund on Nov. 18, 2025, city staff in collaboration with the City Attorney’s Office determined that a code text amendment would be necessary to fully implement the program. City Attorney Kelly Konkright and Tourism and Marketing Manager Lesli Brassfield met with the TPA Commission on Dec. 18 to explain the code text amendment process, and discuss first draft edits to Spokane Valley Municipal Code Section 3.21, the section that authorizes the TPA program. Discussions continued at the Jan.15 TPA Commission meeting and were focused on finalizing draft text that identifies the type and amount of information (criteria) that should be included in the application process to help commissioners determine if a funding request should be approved. In addition, there was discussion regarding the decision process, and authority of the Commission to award funding. As experts in the lodging industry with a broad understanding of what type of events or venues generate overnight hotel stays, commissioners recommended to city staff that the application process be simple, and require only the necessary information to determine the potential “destination” value of an event or venue. Staff recommended that the Commission’s decision to award funding be validated by City Council by placing the Commission’s funding award decision on the Council’s next consent agenda, or on the next available non-consent agenda if the Opportunity Fund award is time sensitive. If a councilmember does not approve of the Commission’s decision, the councilmember would have the option to request that the item be pulled from the consent agenda for Council discussion and action. A final draft of the code text amendments was presented to the TPA Commission on Feb. 19, and the Commission, by unanimous consent, recommended that the draft as presented go forward to City Council for consideration. OPTIONS: (1) Move to adopt Ordinance 26-006 adopting amendments to chapter 3.21 SVMC creating the Tourism Opportunity Fund and authorizing the City of Spokane Valley Tourism Promotion Area Commission to administer the same, or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to adopt Ordinance 26-006 adopting amendments to chapter 3.21 SVMC. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: City Council has approved placing $170,000 in 2026 TPA revenue into the Opportunity Fund. This funding would be available for the TPA Commission to distribute after approval of text amendments to Chapter 3.21 SVMC.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: In order for the City to amend an adopted budget, State law requires the Council to approve an ordinance that appropriates additional funds. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council last took formal action on the 2026 Budget when it was adopted on December 9, 2025. BACKGROUND: Since the initial adoption of the 2026 Budget on December 9, 2025, a number of events have transpired that necessitate a 2026 Budget amendment. The proposed budget amendments include: #001 - General Fund Revenues reflect a decrease of $260,700, including: $83,300 increase in grant proceeds due to the City being awarded a second COPS grant in late 2025. The grant is for $250,000 over three years. $344,000 net decrease in transfers in from Homeless Housing Program Fund #110 due to the restructuring of the accounting for the homeless outreach costs and related grant funding in Fund #110 rather than Fund #001. Provide additional appropriations (expenditures) of $786,600 comprised of: $46,500 increase in supplies in the Communications Department to cover costs related to City sponsored events. This includes $20,000 in recurring expenditures and $26,500 in nonrecurring expenditures for one-time purchases of reuseable supplies and equipment. These costs were discussed by Council at the Winter Workshop on February 24, 2026. $0 net change in travel costs in the City Council Department due to moving $1,000 of budgeted expenditures from Position 5 to Position 7 to reflect the change in Mayor for 2026. $300,000 decrease in homeless services outreach services. These costs will now be accounted for in the Homeless Housing Program Fund #110. $17,700 increase security hardware subscriptions for licensing costs to connect all existing security cameras to Milestone. This will get all cameras onto the same management platform. Milestone was purchased as part of the park security camera pilot project. Licenses are needed for existing city facility cameras at City Hall and CenterPlace. $100,000 increase in professional services in Engineering to complete a parking analysis to be incorporated into the City’s update of the Comprehensive Plan. This was discussed by Council at the March 10, 2026, Council meeting. $75,000 increase for professional services in Planning related to the City’s update of the Comprehensive Plan. Additional work for supplemental code updates and adequate provisions analysis was identified as a need during this process. $670,400 increase for various contract costs for activities funded through ARPA-related amounts. In part, these include costs for park cameras and Innovia Launch NW. $35,000 increase in capital equipment in General Government for the purchase of a drone for use at the City. This would replace the City’s existing drone which can no longer be used in various circumstances due to changes in Federal law. Page 1 of 4 $95,000 increase in capital software costs to acquire and implement the use of SharePoint for the City. This software will increase the efficiency of staff time through improved collaboration on documents as well as improved accessibility and document management for public records requests and retention. $47,000 increase in transfers to the Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund #501 to cover costs related to the replacement of two City vehicles. Funding put aside for the replacement of these two vehicles in prior years was about $58,000. This additional $47,000 would cover the remaining estimated replacement costs for the two new vehicles being requested. #101 – Street O&M Fund Revenues reflect anincrease of $750,000in estimated revenues from the new Automated Traffic Safety Camera program for half of 2026. This program was approved by Council at the December 16, 2025, Council meeting.

This increase reflects a Council motion on December 16, 2025, as part of the lodging tax grant process for the 2026 awards. Increase in expenditures of $1,000,000 in transfers out to the Street Capital Projects Fund #303 for Sullivan improvements related to the Ice Sports Facility project. This represents half of the funding that was approved by Council motion on December 16, 2025, as the project is currently anticipated to begin in 2026 and conclude in 2027. #105 – Hotel / Motel Tax Fund Net decrease of $0 in expenditures comprised of an increase in transfers out to the Hotel / Motel Tax – Tourism Facilities Fund #104 of $447,000 and a decrease of $447,000 in tourism promotion costs as was approved during the lodging tax process at the December 16, 2025, Council meeting. #108 – Affordable & Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund Revenues and expenditures increase by $2,350,000 related to the CHIP grants that were awarded to the City and will be passed through to SNAP and Habitat for Humanity. #110 – Homeless Housing Program Fund Revenues increase by $215,500 consisting of an increase of $35,000 in recording fees due to a 2025 law change and $180,500 in grant proceeds awarded to the City for homeless outreach services. Expenditure decreased by $44,000 consisting of a $300,000 increase in homeless outreach services and a decrease of $344,000 in transfers out to the General Fund #001. These changes are related to the restructuring of the accounting for the homeless outreach costs and related grant funding in Fund #110 rather than Fund #001. #303 – Street Capital Projects Fund Revenues and expenditures increase by $1,800,000 to add Sullivan improvements related to the Ice Sports Facility project. Funding is provided by a transfer in of $1,000,000 from the Hotel/Motel Tax – Tourism Facilities Fund #104 and of $800,000 from the Capital Reserve Fund #312.

Allocations of funding were approved by Council on December 16, 2025, for Fund #104 and November 5, 2025, for Fund #312. #312 – Capital Reserve Fund Expenditures are increased by $800,000 in transfers out to the Street Capital Projects Fund #303 for the Sullivan improvements related to the Ice Sports Facility project.

This additional $47,000 would cover the remaining estimated replacement costs for the two new vehicles being requested. Expenditures increase by $105,500 for the replacement of two City vehicles as described above. One vehicle will be for Code Enforcement purposes and is estimated to cost $68,500. The other vehicle will be for the Facilities Department and is estimated to cost $37,000. The 2026 Budget amendment reflects the changes noted above and will affect 9 funds resulting in total revenue increases of $5,348,800 and expenditure increases of $6,960,167. Of these increases, $1,950,000 reflect transfers between City Funds.

REQUEST: $35,000 budget amendment for the purchase of a new drone and its supporting systems. BACKGROUND: The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) issued a Local Programs Bulletin (LPB-2026-02) on January 14, 2026, regarding the prohibition of Federal funds for certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS); in other words: drones and their supporting software and hardware. The prohibition pertains Ƃŗ϶Ĩŗŵđijĩŏ϶đŏƂijƂijđŹϽ϶ŹŲđąijĨijąêňňƢ϶Ƃİđ϶¡đŗŲňđЪŹ϶ Republic of China. This prohibition took effect December 22, 2025. This prohibition impacts local governments though their acceptance of federal funds. A local government is potentially at risk of losing its Federal funds if it is found to be operating a prohibited drone. Spokane Valley owns one drone, the DJI Mavic 3T Enterprise. This drone is prohibited. City staff have ceased drone operations to maintain compliance with the law. PROPOSAL: The WSDOT bulletin provided a list of approved drone systems. Staff have evaluated the approved list and request to purchase a preferred replacement drone, the Skydio X10. Although unlikely, staff would reserve the right to deviate from the proposed drone model if the procurement process identifies a more preferred option. BUDGET IMPACTS: The approximate total purchase price for the drone system is $30,000, see attached cost estimate. Additionally, each year requires an annual licensing, software, and maintenance ąŗŹƂ϶ŗĨ϶êŲŲŵŗơijŎêƂđňƢ϶ѦʹϽͬͬͬϼ϶fƂЪŹ϶ŵđêŹŗŏêăňđ to assume that some of the maintenance ąŗŹƂŹ϶ƜŗŏЪƂ϶ăđ϶ŵđêňijƬđċ϶ijŏ϶ͮͬͮͲϽ϶Źŗ϶Ƃİđ϶ͮͬͮͲ϶price is proposed for $35,000.

Background The American Security Drone Act instructs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (0MB) to establish government-wide policy for the procurement of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), also known as drones, in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of Transportation, and the Attorney General, and in consultation with the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Guidance Effective December 22, 2025, the American Security Drone Act of 2023 (ASDA) and OMB Memorandum M-26-02 strictly prohibit the use of federal funds for UAS manufactured by covered foreign entities. Local Agencies may no longer use FHWA funds (including grants, loans, or cooperative agreements) to procure, operate, or maintain "covered UAS." Covered UAS includes any aircraft, flight controller, camera, or ground control station supplied by a manufacturer that is based in, or subject to the control of, a foreign adversary country, specifically the People's Republic of China. 9ƨǒźƦƒĻƓƷ ƌźƭƷĻķ ƚƓ ƷŷĻ ͻBlue Listͼ ƦǒĬƌźƭŷĻķ ĬǤ 5ĻŅĻƓƭĻ /ƚƓƷƩğĭƷ ağƓğŭĻƒĻƓƷ !ŭĻƓĭǤ źƭ źƓ ĭƚƒƦƌźğƓĭĻ by default. Equipment not listed on the Blue List may be compliant, however, a UAS operator will need manufacturer certifications of compliance, for the breakdown of critical UAS components and a cyber security assessment. There is no form or template for certification or assessments available at the time of this bulletin. The use of UAS are also prohibited by consultants and contractors performing work on federally funded projects. A special contract provision for the Construction Phase will be required in Federally funded Contracts (See Appendix A). This bulletin will be updated when more information becomes available. Implementation Plan 1.Stop Procurements: Ensure no pending orders for this equipment will be paid for with federal funds. 2.Cease Operations: If your existing fleet includes these covered UAS, you must cease their operation, maintenance, or data processing on any FHWA funded project or grant. HQ Local Programs Federal Restrictions on Foreign Drones LPB-2026-02 Page 2 of 3 HQ LP Project Development HQ Local Programs Date: January 14, 2026 3.Segregate Assets: FHWA recommends physically quarantining these devices to prevent accidental use on federally funded projects. 4.Project GSP: All Federally funded projects will insert special provision APWA 1-07.1(6), Unmanned Aircraft Systems.

Appendix A RV64865 Chelsie Walls From:Steve Roberge Sent:Monday, April 27, 2026 11:52 AM To:Chelsie Walls Cc:Erik Lamb; Mike Basinger; Kelly Konkright; Tony Beattie Subject: Supplemental Budget Request Attachments:Re: Comp Plan amendment for additional code development work attached Hi Chelsie, °İijŹ϶ŵđŴƇđŹƂ϶ijŹ϶Ĩŗŵ϶ѦͳͱϽͬͬͬϼ϶϶fЪŎ϶İêppy to streamline or expand the explanations below but wanted to give you enough background to understand. There are two pieces to the request and additional documentation is attached: 1) Supplemental Code Updates: $41,000 Since the Commerce grants & consultant contract were implemented, additional legislation has passed the State Legislature. Several of these pieces of legislation must be implemented shortly after our Comp Plan and Development Regulations must be adopted. (Comp Plan and Dev Regs must be adopted by end of 2026 and other due dates include end of 01/27 & 7/27.) It is not only more eicient to do these updates with the other updates already underway with the Comp Plan, but it also helps avoid confusion for the public and developers. First many of the changes supplement Comp Plan required updates that have been talked about through the process and second, it creates a more stable development environment where neighbors and developers know what to expect. 2) Adequate Provisions analysis & design: $34,000 We are required to provide capacity for aordable housing at all income levels. Following a recent Growth Management Hearing Board (GMHB) decision, which occurred after the initial Commerce grants and consultant contracts, Commerce has updated its guidelines. These updates move beyond merely encouraging speci ǎ c housing types to requiring the identi ǎ cation of local funding gaps and de ǎ ning when actions must be taken to ensure adequate housing provision. We have identi ǎ đċ϶ƂİŗŹđ϶ЧêċđŴƇêƂđ϶ŲŵŗƚijŹijŗŏŹШ϶ăƇƂ϶ŏđđċ϶Ƃŗ϶ċŗ additional analysis and program design to ensure they will work well without unintended consequences. To maintain compliance, they need to be in place with our Comp Plan and Development regulations by end of 2026. I have attached an email with draft scope of work. Please let me know if I can clarify or provide additional info. Thank you, Steve Steve Roberge // Planning Manager 10210 E.

The City would greatly bene ǎ t from the implementation of Microsoft SharePoint. SharePoint is included in our annual Microsoft licensing, so there is no additional recurring cost for software. The bene ǎ ts of collaboration, accessibility, and modern document management would serve the City well. We found a company on the MRSC ƚđŏċŗŵ϶ňijŹƂ϶ƂİêƂ϶ƜŗƇňċ϶ƂŵêŏŹijƂijŗŏ϶ƂƜŗ϶ċđŲêŵƂŎđŏƂŹЪ϶ċŗąƇments and give us the knowledge and training to bring other departments on internally. This one-time cost of education, best practices and data governance policy improvement prevents project scope creep and has explicitly de ǎ ned deliverables. Collaboration Bene ǎ ts: Eêąİ϶ąŗŏƂŵêąƂ϶ƂİêƂ϶ijŹ϶ŵđƚijđƜđċ϶ăƢ϶Ƃİđ϶9ijƂƢ϶ƂƂŗŵŏđƢЪŹ϶ŗice would allow collaboration between drafts. Draft versions of documents would no longer be emailed, stored, or saved (also reducing records management workload). Sta could co-author a document in real-time. Because drafts would not be emailed back and forth, the storage of records that have no retention value can be handled accordingly. In 2025, the City has over 200 contracts that were reviewed and collaborated on. Each one of those contracts could have bene ǎ ted from the use of SharePoint. As technology has improved, more departments have been requesting this technology to collaborate with outside agencies. Most recently, the deƚđňŗŲŎđŏƂ϶ŗĨ϶Ƃİđ϶9ijƂƢЪŹ϶ąŗŎŲŵđİđŏŹijƚđ϶Ųňêŏ϶ƜŗƇňċ϶İêƚđ϶ been an excellent use of this technology. Accessibility: Having accessible documents is important as the City works to respond to the expanding number of public records requests. The ability to quickly identify documents related to a request would allow faster discovery of records. Additionally, with the number of outside agencies working in tandem with our sta, allowing access to appropriate records in real-time would be a huge win. Providing anywhere, anytime access is a tremendous advantage. To do this securely and with an audit trail improves our data governance goals. Document Management: Search and discovery utilizing SharePoint is dramatically better than traditional ǎ le storage methods. Finding records quickly and having them stored in a standardized method allows for faster discovery. File management is Ŏŗŵđ϶ŹƂŵƇąƂƇŵđċ϶ąŗŎŲêŵđċ϶Ƃŗ϶êŏ϶ijŏċijƚijċƇêňЪŹ϶ijċea of how the structure should be developed. Open to feedback. Chad Knodel // IT Manager 10210 E.

The vehicle will replace a fully depreciated mid-size truck from our current fleet. Our current mid-size truck lacks the necessary payload and towing capacity for abatement demands. Upgrading to a 3/4-ton platform provides three primary advantages:  Provides the necessary torque and braking capacity to safely haul our existing dump trailer fully loaded, a task that currently exceeds the safety ratings of our mid-size truck.  It will support the opportunity to partner with local non-profit organizations to provide work opportunities for individuals re-entering the workforce. The crew cab configuration will allow abatement crews transportation to job sites.  The addition of a liftgate will allow code enforcement staff to efficiently pick up heavy illegally dumped items directly from city streets. This reduces the risk of workplace injuries and allows staff to safely remove debris from our Right-of-Way (ROW). While final pricing will depend on municipal fleet bidding. The current estimate for a 2026 Ford F-250 Super Duty (Crew Cab) with accessories is $68,500 (see itemized details below).  Vehicle Base MSRP (Crew Cab XL/XLT) $60,000  Tommy Gate G2 Series Liftgate $6,500  Headache rack, light and truck box $2,000 The purchase of Ford F-250 Super Duty (Crew Cab) will have long-term savings by internalizing hauling costs and reducing our dependence on expensive third-party contractors. By replacing a fully depreciated assets with a multi-purpose heavy-duty vehicle, we will improve response times for abatements, safely remove debris from our ROW and support purpose-driven work. CğĭźƌźƷźĻƭ wĻƨǒĻƭƷ The Facilities Manager position was created in 2025 by converting a vacant position. An assigned vehicle is necessary for the Facilities Manager to travel to City facilities and bring materials/tools to support the Facilities team and address maintenance and repairs. The Facilities Manager has been using a pool vehicle and his own personal vehicle so far. The cost to purchase a Ford Maverick is approximately $37,000. This vehicle will replace a fully depreciated mid-size truck from our current fleet. .ǒķŭĻƷ LƒƦğĭƷ $58,500 has been set aside from the vehicle lease program for the two depreciated mid-size code enforcement vehicles. A supplemental allocation of $47,000 is required to purchase the Ford F-250 Super Duty (Crew Cab) and the Ford Maverick.
