Presentation, Arts & Culture Additional Project: After a brief overview of the research project of the Spokane Valley Arts & Culture Transition Team, DeeDee Loberg, and Joyce Cameron of the Spokane Arts Commission spoke of the new "People's Gallery" project, and invited Spokane City and Valley citizens and visitors to participate in the painting of a community mural on Saturday, June 14. Loberg said the Gallery is a symbolic bridge uniting the two communities and will be painted on the 1-90 underpass on Havana Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. Presentation, Communication Transition Committee: Matt Gibson gave a summary of the communications plan, goals, target publics, and suggested plan elements. He stressed the need to have at least two support people on the Communications Team, adding that the department would be responsible for relaying information to and from the citizens. Gibson said the department should also develop a consistent public relations schedule and have a permanent spot on the City's website. He also said that the department should have an in-house person who would be available as a spokesperson with the media and help develop presentations, and suggested council consider Robin Toak. Presentation, Spokane Regional Health District: Dr. Kim Thorburn, Health officer of Spokane Regional Health District gave a brief history and overview of the District's organization and funding, and said their main role is the protection against diseases. Dr. Thorburn then summarized their services and programs mentioned in their brochure. Thorburn said that the main division issuing permits is the Date Approved by Council:06-24-03 Page 1 of 4 environmental health staff and that they need the professionals to be available to answer questions from the public. She said that a$1.1 million shortfall in discretionary revenue has resulted in the reduction and elimination of some essential public health programs and services this year. She added that the Health District Board is created by resolution of the county commissioners and is currently comprised of eleven members: the three commissioners, three elected officials from Spokane, two elected officials from other towns and Cities in the County, and three at-large members appointed by the commissioners. Thorburn said cities have no statutory authority over local public health agencies as this is only granted by county commissioners. After further brief discussion of the board's makeup, Mayor DeVleming asked City Manager Dave Mercier to submit a request to the Commissioners to get two Spokane Valley City people on the board. Presentation, Aquatic Center: Interim Parks and Recreation Director Bill Hutsinpiller discussed his outline of the considerations to be taken into account before an action program can begin for an aquatic facility. Hutsinpiller said the three public pools in the City of Spokane Valley are old and in need of constant repair. Hutsinpiller suggested appointing a special committee to determine the best location for an outdoor pool and to take the appropriate action for land acquisition. Hutsinpiller added that he is not convinced that Mission Valley Park is the best location for a new outdoor pool complex and many factors need to be considered before making any final plans. Mayor DeVleming asked if there is a covenant restricting the Mission Valley Park to be used as a pool. Hutsinpiller will research this and report his findings back to Council. Hutsinpiller's final recommendation is to develop a comprehensive park and recreation plan which would address this issue and provide the appropriate documentation to support a plan of action. Mayor DeVleming asked that staff put together options of a Parks and Recreation Comprehensive Plan, and other options and to report back to council if appointing a special committee would be the best action at this point. Mirabeau Stage: Hutsinpiller discussed the idea of a permanent or a portable stage in Mirabeau Meadows for special events, adding that the cost of building a permanent stage as described in his handout would be approximately $70,000; while rental of a stage could cost $5,000 per event. Hutsinpiller said that the stage would be big enough to handle the symphony. It was agreed this matter will be brought on the next consent agenda in the form of a motion to recommend that a permanent stage be built. Barker Bridge Consultant Agreement: Interim Public Works Director Dick Warren reported that a grant application was submitted to the state committee with the preliminary statement that the bridge will not be replaced, but that the State will award one million to replace the surface. Warren said he met with the field representative from BRAC and it was found more justification for the replacement was needed. Warren said he also spoke with Nicholls Engineering to finalize the application for the next round of consideration, and that they believe they have a higher chance of success. Warren recommends we use a small public works contract and hope at the next meeting, that the City Manager would be authorized to approve the contract at that level. Warren said the short contract will be ready for the June 10 meeting. It was agreed to place this item on the June 10 council meeting agenda. Existing Franchise Ordinances: Deputy City Attorney Cary Driskell explained that all franchises were cancelled when the city incorporated, and staff is working on getting about 25-30 franchises ready for council review. Driskell said that state law dictates that upon incorporation, the new city shall grant new franchises for either seven years or the existing length of the existing franchise. Driskell said he will keep council apprised of the franchises status; that franchise fees have not been the subject of an ordinance or resolution, that we reserved the right at a later date to examine the issue; and that staff will discuss the issue and bring council all available options. Warren added that traditional history is not to charge fees, but things might change with road restorations. Driskell said he anticipates bringing these franchises quickly to council,but they will not be ready for council review at the next council meeting. Date Approved by Council:06-24-03 Page 2 of 4 Calendar for Land Use Transportation Element: McCormick explained that the Planning division was asked to put together a comprehensive plan work program for upcoming comprehensive plan work effort; and that this is a preliminary timeline outlining all the required elements of the comprehensive plan. McCormick then explained the tasks listed stressing that citizen participation will be part of the entire process, and that the actual plan will start 2004 in order to give the Planning Commission the opportunity to get comfortable in their role. He said there will be budget implications from the plan not addressed in the current budget and a more detailed work plan will include plan estimates. McCormick added that some areas also implement the Parks and Recreation comprehensive plan as part of this overall comprehensive plan, and at the conclusion of next year, they will put together a working draft of preferred alternatives and begin Planning Commission review of that working draft with council review anticipated March 2005. He said the county's plan will be used as a base only as Spokane Valley will be starting from the ground up. McCormick said that some elements of the plan could be moved around and perhaps the transportation element could be moved forward to get a sense of the council's concerns. He added that this is only a preliminary draft. It was also mentioned that we will be receiving some state funding, but the amount of funding received by grants is relatively small compared to the overall cost of writing the entire plan, which could run upwards of $300,000. Mercier will later give recommendations as to what components of the overall plan could be achieved in-house and what will be supplemented with outside contractors. Mercier added that citizens and elected officials will have the opportunity to define the plan's future, and that he recommends council consider long-term dividends of high quality job in the comprehensive plan, which could mean some delays in individual projects; that the process is complicated and we would need to re-validate the earlier public comment and determine where those comments came from—valley residents or otherwise. Mercier added that staff is sensitive to the sense of urgency but tonight wants to provide information that might help produce a realistic look at the timeline necessary to do a quality job. Mayor DeVleming called a short recess at 7:45 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at 7:55 p.m. EMS Presentation: Dave Mercier introduced and welcomed Bobby Williams from the Spokane Fire Department who will provide a presentation on EMS communication system and the expensive choices that are ahead. Mercier added that a regional meeting for all elected officials is scheduled for June 25. Bobby Williams gave an overview of the radio system for all public safety in Spokane County and stressed this is not just for EMS, but all public safety. Williams gave a background of the variety of systems and current problems, including lack of radio channels, aging operational problems, coverage and overall operational problems. Williams said a study was funded in 2001 to examine all the systems and make recommendations for the future. Thirty-two sites in the county were visited, and existing technology was examined. Williams said not only are there coverage problems with the terminals,but the sites are not well protected; and there are other factors to consider such as no fences, poor workmanship, equipment not bolted down, batteries not stored and maintained property, and equipment 20 to 30 years old. Williams explained that some options include fixing the sites, the trunking system, and reorganizing and rebuilding the current system. To simply "patch" the existing system could cost five million initially followed by $500,000 per year for the next 20-30 years. He estimates 44 million to correct the trunking system; and about 25 million to reorganize and re-build the system we have now. He feels the last option is the most realistic. Williams went on to explain in further detail what equipment would be needed, at what cost, bandwidth and frequencies and our infrastructure, and that the estimated length of the project would be four years to complete. Mayor DeVleming thanked Williams for his presentation and said there will be further opportunity to discuss this topic at the June 25 meeting. Public Safety Ordinance: Mercier explained that this ordinance is an attempt to provide coordinating functions for this City as it provides opportunity to create a public safety department and establishes Date Approved by Council:06-24-03 Page 3 of 4 Mercier as the chief public safety officer. Mayor DeVleming said this item has been previously discussed and it was therefore recommended to place this item on Tuesday's council agenda. 401-A Executive Resolution: Mercier explained that this resolution establishes a 401 Money Purchase Retirement Plan for the City Manager in lieu of the Washington Public Employees Retirement System. It was the consensus of the council to place this item on the next council agenda for approval. Retirement Health Savings Plan Resolution: Mercier explained that this resolution would establish a retiree health savings plan for City employees, that there would be no City contributions, and all employees would be eligible to participate on a self-pay basis. It was the consensus of the council to place this item on the next council agenda for approval. AWC Conference Training Schedule: Staff and council discussed the options of the conference schedules. Copies of the schedule will be updated and re-distributed for council. Copies of Complaints by E-mail: Mercier said he wanted to use this opportunity to clarify the procedure of handling complaints, in that complaints should be forwarded to the proper staff person for handling, and that when the Mayor and Council receive complaints, most of those are routed to the proper staff member, unless there is something specific for council. Mercier said that in regard to any potential complaints about ordinances or resolutions, copies of commentary related to the legislative role would be circulated to all councilmembers. Councilmember Taylor said he would like to be made aware of any corrective action Mercier might take based on public reaction. Mayor DeVleming suggested and council concurred, that could be part of the department head monthly reports. Mercier said the first sample of that will come at the June 24 meeting, and that he is sampling various formats to ensure they are getting out the type of information wanted and receiving appropriate feedback. City Manager Comments: Mercier reported that we are waiting to appoint a new Community Development Director and are holding any policy decisions until that director reports to work. Councilmember Schimmels said that he received a call from Spokane Regional Transportation which would like an interlocal agreement, and that perhaps Mercier could discuss this with Warren as there is a matter of dues. Mercier said he will investigate the matter. There being no further business,Mayor DeVleming closed the study session at 8:55 p.m. ATTE : APPROVED: „ver I/ ristine Bainbridge,City Clerk Michael DeVleming, ► ayor Date Approved by Council:06-24-03 Page 4 of 4 itkekik -ttkikt‘-ilkekikiktIkiklikekikaNitAselkeklkikek ika. tik- Your Invited ! ..ek 1PIA, 11% tk Ilk The Spokane Arts Commission along with the City of Spokane tk, Ilk Valley Arts & Culture Transition Team cordially invite Spokane it City and Valley citizens and visitors to participate in the painting of a community mural on Saturday, June 14th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Ili: itk' The "People's Gallery" is a symbolic bridge uniting our two itt- iii'k: communities. tk The new People's Gallery will be painted on the I-90 underpass on 67.

This can i be accomplished by creating strategic methods and opportunities for the exchange of information between local government and its constituents, resulting in a higher level of community confidence in government, more efficient delivery of public services and a greater sense of community goodwill.The main goal of a Communications Department is to provide leadership and expertise, which enables all representatives of the new City's organization to be effective communicators. Development of a communications plan provides the right vehicle for designing, executing and measuring performance.A communications plan also helps to identify target audiences, develop messages for each target audience and design call-to-action programs, utilizing various proven media components.An effective plan requires that media relations and communications be important functions integrated consistently into the organization's vision, objectives and day-to-day operations. COMMUNICATIONS PLAN GOALS The overall goals of the Communications Program are to: Increase awareness, understanding and participation of the citizens of Spokane Valley in City government goals and activities. Build community pride among citizens and positive identification with their home city. Enhance community confidence in local government and its officials, elected and appointed. Break down feelings of we-they between City government and the residents of Spokane Valley. Increase awareness, understanding and participation of City employees in the goals and activities of the City. Build corporate pride among employees and positive identification with City government as a whole. Develop better relationships with the news media to enable them to be two-way communicators between City government and its target publics. Encourage and facilitate two-way communication as a corporate communications philosophy and provide the tools, training and methods necessary to be successful. Support a customer-oriented approach to public service delivery through implementation of high-profile, employee-driven customer care programs that provide training, guidelines and on-going evaluation of City service delivery, and celebrate the accomplishments of employees. COMMUNICATIONS TEAM Each individual who represents City government in an official capacity is a communicator for the City. Therefore, the success of the communication program depends upon everyone's participation. The City of Spokane Valley's communication team could include: Mayor/City Manager and City Council Deputy and Assistant City Managers Department Directors Other Council-Appointed Officials All Employees • Boards and Commissions of the City Additionally, the communications team includes other city-related agencies, the Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce, the local•school districts, higher education institutions and other-entities, to the degree they care to participate. These agencies, and other community-based organizations, including neighborhood councils, - church groups and others,will be informed of City communications efforts and encouraged to participate for everyone's mutual benefit. The involvement of these various groups and organizations helps to establish a valuable network that can be utilized to further enhance the two-way flow of information. 1 (-- TARGET PUBLICS -) The identification of prioritized target publics is a key component of a communications plan. Establishing these priorities serves to turn a scattershot "ready-fire-aim" program into a targeted "ready-aim-fire"strategy. Based on the understanding of who is served by the new City, the following primary target publics should be identified as: 1. Citizens The citizens of Spokane Valley have been identified as the highest priority target public.The building of a partnership between City government and the nearly 90,000 residents of Spokane Valley is the starting point for an effective communications program. 2. Employees The employees of the City of Spokane Valley in its various departments and agencies are the second priority group. . 3. News Media The news media is the third priority target public. The media are important because their coverage and portrayal of City government has a profound influence on the image of the City organization and consequently, the level of support and involvement that is received from its citizens and other target publics. Secondary target publics include: 4. Public segments: City boards and commissions, neighborhoods, business, education, military, medical, etc. 5. Residents of Spokane County 6. Residents of the Inland Northwest region 7. Other local governments in Washington and Idaho SUGGESTED COMMUNICATION PLAN ELEMENTS 1. Branding and image 2. Collateral 3. Public Relations a.

They suggested a study session. Your e-mail reminds me of this; I was waiting until after the formation of the city. Could you help me set this up? The best way to schedule something is to contact my assistant Marcia at the number below. The composition of the Spokane Regional Health District Board of Health is created by resolution of the county commissioners. It is currently the 3 commissioners, 3 elected officials from Spokane, 2 elected officials from other towns and cities in the County and 3 at-large members appointed by the commissioners. Each Board constituency has different methods of appointment. Cities have no statutory authority over local public health agencies. This is only granted by county commissioners.

There are a number of considerations that need to be taken into account before an action program on a year round facility can take place as follows: • • The City of Spokane Valley currently has three public pools all of which are outdoor facilities open during the summer months. These facilities are old and in need of constant repair in order to keep them open. The location of these facilities may not be the best for serving the needs of those residing in the city. • Schools in the city are without any aquatic facilities and have indicated they would not be in a position to participate in an aquatic center in the foreseeable future. • Due in part to the lack of competitive facilities, the number of competitive swimmers in the city is very small compared to the number of recreational swimmers. • The cost of running an outdoor pool for the summer is very small. • The capital cost of building a year round facility would be 10 to 15 times the cost of building an outdoor pool for the summer months. • You cannot compare the cost and use of a year round facility to an outdoor facility. • We have not determined other sources of financial support for construction of a year round facility nor the annual cost of operation versus revenue. • Locating a year round facility is critical to its use and the financial impact it would have on business in the valley. • The city has yet to develop a Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan which would indicate the recreational needs of the community as well as the areas needing facilities. • identified needs should indicate the costs associated with developing same including an aquatic center. • At this time we do not know what kind of funding we will have for city services given the fact revenues are low for all communities while the costs continue to rise. • • Currently the YMCA has a community center facility adjacent to Mirabeau Point Park which has a year round aquatic facility. • Would the cost of developing and Aquatic Center have a serious impact on the ability of the city to acquire and develop other park and recreation facilities? • There is 1.6 million dollars available for construction of an aquatic facility which alone will not build a year round facility but should be sufficient to build one outdoor facility at a site which needs to be researched in order to obtain the highest and best use. Recommendation: Develop a Comprehensive Park and Recreation Plan which would address this issue and provide appropriate documentation to support a plan of action on this as well as other needs. If you are unable to develop a plan at this time, appoint a special committee to determine the best location for a new outdoor pool and once a site has been selected take appropriate action to acquire land if needed and construct same with those funds available through the county. . CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY NIIRABEAU STAGE Mirabeau Meadows was designed with the idea of using a portable stage in the park: for special events and other activities. Location of the stage was to be adjacent to the trail which makes a circle around the meadows area. This location has power to service activities at this location. The council indicated an interest in having a permanent stage at the above location. Staff has looked at various options and the following is provided for council consideration: • Portable Stage rental would be approximately 40'X40' in size and could be set up in the Meadows at a cost of$3,500 for the platform and. $1,500 for lighting and sound. The total cost per event would be $5:,000. • Permanent stage would be 40'X40'X32" and would be located in the Meadows close to the trail, restroom and picnic shelter. This would be a concrete stage with ADA accessibility and would be finished with a stone veneer. to match other park structures. The cost for this improvement would be approximately $70,000. Recommendation: Construct a permanent stage with lighting and sound system to be used for events in the park. The benefit would be reduction in set up time, elimination of rental fees ($5,000 per event) and ADA access which also makes it easier to set up equipment and access the stage area.
