INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS AND PRESENTATIONS: n/a
COMMITTEE, BOARD, LIAISON SUMMARY REPORTS:
Councilmember Gothmann said he wanted to correct a statement he made last week where he stated there
were no traffic lights between Argonne and University, but said he should have said there was one traffic
signal between Mullan and University, and said he checked with our traffic engineer and that there is also
a traffic light at Farr, which would add an insignificant amount to travel time regardless of how the road is
constructed. Councilmember Gothmann reported that he attended a Government Affairs meeting in
connection with the Association for Washington Business, which is similar to a state Chamber of
Commerce, where they discussed supporting Initiative 1053, an initiative to require 2 /3 majority to raise
taxes; said he heard discussion from the CEO of Valley Hospital regarding the strike and issues surround
that situation; said he visited Liberty Lake's Business Center; said that the Board of County
Commissioners had a meeting where they discussed telephone bills and taxes, including the enhanced 911
services.
Councilmember Dempsey reported she attended the Clean Air Agency meeting where they discussed the
railroad switching yard and pollution problems; said she had a good time as she attended four different
National Night Out parties.
Councilmember Grafos said he also attended about six National Night Out parties and said they were
good events; and he thanked staff and the City Manager for the job on opening the intersection on
Sullivan and Sprague, and said he knows the business owners appreciate that intersection opening. City
Manager Jackson mentioned that thanks also go to Council and to Public Works.

DeputyMayor Schimmels said he co- sponsored a National Night out in his neighborhood and they had a
nice turnout; that yesterday they had a committee meeting with the governance issue with solid waste, and
said they are still working on it, that they were interviewing the negative group and now are back with
this positive group — of which he is a member, and said they hope to have something more to discuss in a
month or two.
Councilmember Grassel said she also attended about four National Night out parties, and they were well
attended.
Councilmember McCaslin said in relation to his position as Senator, that there are millions of dollars
going to the homeless issue that the public is likely not aware of, and he has requested his office to
provide copies of that information.
MAYOR'S REPORT: reported that he attended the ADA self - evaluation survey meeting in Council
Chambers; he met with the Mayor of Liberty Lake, and Central Valley School District Superintendent
Smith; attended the Chamber's Government Affairs Committee meeting; attended three National Night
Out parties and said he was encouraged by the number of participating neighbors; said he was invited to
the Mukogawa Institute at Spokane Falls Community College, 20 Anniversary, and said that during their
twenty years, they graduated 9,000 students; he commended staff and Acme Construction for a job well
done at the intersection of Sprague and Sullivan; he met with Eric Sawyer of the Regional Sports
Commission about future sports accessibility in Spokane Valley; today met with the City's Finance
Committee where they discussed the 2011 budget, and he reminded everyone that the budget is a work in
progress up to the final adoption of the budget, which will occur later this year.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Towey invited general public comments.
Tony Lazanis 10626 E. Empire, Spokane Valley said he read in the paper that the council might pick out
a manager tonight; and said this would be a good time to discuss the sewers as we pay about 80% of the
sewers but don't own them, and citizens could likely see a $100 bill for sewers; and said that he hopes
whoever is picked will have an interest in the sewers; and said if we pay for it, we should own it.
Ray Ward 13404 E 9 1h Avenue said he would like council to consider adopting an ordinance to keep big
trucks out of residential areas overnight and on weekends; he said they can't use their patio and backyards
because of the diesel truck fumes and pollution, and said the Health Department will be looking into the
noise and pollution problem.
Aabida Dar, 13413 E 10` Avenue voiced the same concerns as Mr. Ward; said they have been dealing
with the horrible diesel smell for the last eight years and she eventually moved her bedroom from one side
of the house to the other in order to try to avoid the noise and smell.

NEW BUSINESS
2. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance, Solicitation (Panhandling) Cary Driskell
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and
seconded to adopt the proposed ordinance amending SVMC 8.25.020, and adding a new section SVMC
8.25.025 regulating solicitation activities as amended. Deputy City Attorney Driskell explained that this
issue has been presented to council several times over the years and staff examined the legal and U.S.
Constitutional issues surrounding panhandling; he said this ordinance has been re- drafted to include those
council suggestions such as refining the definition of "median" and to prohibit pedestrians from entering
or being within 100 feet of an intersection to a principal arterial, on or off ramp to Interstate 90, or a state
route, and he said the accompanying map shows the clear details of the state routes involved. Mr.
Driskell also introduced legal intern Jandon Mitchell and said Mr. Mitchell has put in a tremendous
amount of work on this topic as well and was an important part of the team, and Mr. Mitchell mentioned
that the complete legislative record is on file with the City Clerk. Mr. Driskell said the outcome of the
appeal of the Redondo Beach case is still pending and it could be several years before a determination is
made; and also stated that he has worked extensively with Chief VanLeuven who stated this will be an
effective tool to promote better traffic flow and increase safety. Mayor Towey invited public comment.
Tony Lazanis, 10626 E. Empire, Spokane Valley said he thinks Council is spending too much time on
this topic as there are very few peddlers; and Council can use that time for something better.
Richard Munson, 12404 E 27"' Avenue extended congratulations to the council for this major step to help
our city; and commended council for their hard work; and said we should not expect this to get rid of
panhandling, but it will be a tool, if not the solution; and said that ChangePoint would be part of that
solution as well as they provide education to our citizens; and he urged council to make sure the
educational effort is there to provide information on other avenues of help.
Ian Robertson, 17116 S Rotchford Drive he thanked Council for making the reason for this ordinance
that of safety and traffic flow; and he thanked Council for the previous resolution to support ChangePoint
as they help the disadvantaged and the truly needy rather than support the lifestyles of people who make
public begging a way of life; and said they have been and will continue to distribute their information
cards to those in need.
Evie Crossman, 14902 East Valleyvay said she has been a Valley resident for fifty years or so; and
comes from a family concerned with helping the disadvantaged, and said she is impressed with what she
is hearing tonight, and understands the need for banning panhandling, especially with those who are
hostile and aggressive with drivers; she mentioned the ten year plan in place called the "Road Home"
which hopes to end homelessness in our area; she said someone previously mentioned there are millions
of dollars going into homeless programs, but she said they are still woefully at a loss to have adequate
services, and in the Spokane area, there are approximately 15,000 homeless people, which count she said
is not based on the one day count but on all organizations combining their information; and said there are
fewer than 1,000 beds available; she said she spoke with mayors of other cities and said she would like to
think we can take care of the poor in our community without forcing them to go elsewhere.
Councilmember Gothmann added that the programs "2163" and "2160" are two bills passed by the
legislature which address the homeless situation, and provide dollars for homelessness, with the goal to
end homelessness in ten years; he said about 85% of people who panhandle are not homeless, and the
general rule is the homeless are not panhandlers; he said he doesn't consider panhandling to be a
homelessness problem, and he commended staff for spending hundreds of hours on getting this ordinance,
and thanked Councilmember Grassel for her impetus. Mayor Towey also extended congratulations to staff
for all the hours worked on this topic, and said he feels the ordinance is enforceable and defendable; and
Council Regular Meeting 8 -10 -2010 Page 3 of 11
Approved by Council: 08 -24 -2010
if we are going to solve this problem, both the ordinance and the education are necessary.
Councilmember Grassel also thanked staff for their work and for being kept informed of upcoming issues.
Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed.• None. Abstentions: None. Motion Carried.
3. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance, CTA 03 -10 Code Text Amendment (Sprague /Appleway) —
Christina Janssen
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and
seconded to approve the ordinance amending Spokane Valley Municipal Code 19.140 and 19.110.020
Appendix D. Standing in for Planner Janssen, Planning Manager McCormick explained that there were
four components including adding language to give the Community Development Director authority to
grant administrative exceptions for minor design changes; allowing full service restaurants as a permitted
use in the Mixed Use Avenue Retail zone, updating the table to allow restricted access to other streets in
the Mixed Use Avenue zone, and considering allowing vehicle sales within the Mixed Use Avenue Retail
zone; and said this ordinance addresses all but the vehicle sales, as that will be addressed separately later.
Mayor Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor:
Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion Carried.
4. First Reading Proposed Ordinance, CTA 04 -10 Code Text Amendment — Mike Connelly
City Attorney Connelly explained that this matter was before council a few weeks ago at which time
council voted not to accept the Planning Commission findings and Council instructed staff to prepare an
ordinance to allow the expansion, giving two options, one of granting the Community Development
Director the authority to allow such an expansion if all criteria are met, and the second requiring a
conditional use permit, which would necessitate a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner; he also
suggested council hold a public hearing at the time of the second reading of this ordinance in order to
allow public comment on the draft ordinance with only the one option, which would be determined
tonight; and he suggested council move to advance the ordinance as drafted, with the first #5, to a second
reading; or to advance the ordinance to a second reading as amended with the second #5 option, which is
the Conditional Use Permit option. Mayor Towey invited public comment.
Stanley Schultz, 425 S Alpine Drive Libegy Lake: Mr. Schultz explained that he represents Hite Crane;
that if council chose the first option, council should keep in mind that there would be no "leapfrogging"
from one parcel to the next; said he favors the option which does not require the conditional use permit;
and said with his experience, those permits require a minimum of 120 days to get through the process, and
said Mr. Hite does not have 120 days; he said the conditional use permit is not necessary and sufficient
safeguards can be included to administer this situation administratively; and he reminded council that an
administrative decision can be appealed to the hearing examiner.
City Clerk Bainbridge said she received a public comment e-mail and with the Mayor's consent, read the
following into the record:
"August 10, 2010. Honorable Mayor Towey. I am opposed to any action that would allow the expansion
of nonconforming uses. The City's nonconforming use provisions allow a business activity, which no
longer fits the character of the neighborhood, to continue operation until they close or move. The issue of
allowing the expansion of nonconforming uses arose because Hite Crane is attempting to establish an
industrial use in a neighborhood that is primarily retail and residential. Hite Crane knew before acquiring
the proposed site that it was not adequate in size for a crane operation and their business would be a
nonconforming use. Although the replacement of one nonconforming use by another is allowed, Hite
Crane knew that expansion of a nonconforming use beyond its current site is not authorized under our city
code. Hite Crane's request to change the code was heard by the Planning Commission. The Planning
Commission recommended to the City Council to deny the request. The City Council voted to reject the
Planning Commission's recommendation. The City Council is now positioned to change the city code to
permit the expansion of nonconforming uses and create a situation where the entire city may suffer for
Hite Crane's choices. Not only will Hite Crane be allowed to expand, but so will any other
Council Regular Meeting 8 -10 -2010 Page 4 of 11
Approved by Council: 08 -24 -2010
nonconforming use, in particular the businesses that specialize in `adult products' or `adult
entertainment'. Currently, wherever these businesses are operating they are nonconforming. While
there are many citizens who would have these businesses shut down and not allowed in the city, the
Courts have, citing the First Amendment, upheld these businesses' right to operate. Because of their legal
right to operate, the City established places, not on our main street, where these businesses could operate.
This council is about to give them carte blanche to expand on our main street. The City Council will
probably make some lame attempt to mitigate their mistake in allowing the expansion of nonconforming
uses by limiting the expansion to certain zones or requiring a conditional use permit, but neither of these
actions can or will stop the expansion of operations offering adult products or adult entrainment. The
`adult entertainment' industry has a history of being extremely litigious and willing to make their case in
the courts. The impact of the `adult entertainment' establishments on local neighborhoods and business
decisions should not be underestimated. As an example, a Porsche dealership wanted to establish in auto -
row but chose to go to another site in a different City because of the proximity of an `adult entertainment'
establishment to the auto -row site. The City Council should not help Hite Crane by opening the door to
the expansion of those businesses we would seek to control. The City Council needs to reject any action
that would allow the expansion of nonconforming uses. John G. Carroll, 1207 S. Rotchford Drive,
Spokane Valley, WA 99037. 509- 927 - 9735"
Gary Hite, owner Hite Crane, formerly of 4323 E Broadway 99212 said he feels continually worked by
this program to feel he is pushed out of testimony after being likened to some activities that he doesn't
have anything to do with, and has never had anything to do with and doesn't condone, and said he doesn't
see where the continued operation of his business has anything to do with the prior written testimony; and
to refresh present council's memory, he said he was taken by eminent domain by the City of Spokane and
the prior Spokane Valley Council gave the City of Spokane authority over him; he said he has had several
people tell him it is questionable if that was even appropriate or legal; and said at this point, he has tried
to move and continue his 40 -year business, under extreme duress; he said he bought both parcels of
property conditionally upon the acceptance of the other owner at the same time because he needed that
space to conduct his business as he was losing his prior space; he said he sincerely thanks the members of
this Council who have tried to urge for a more quick move on this so he can continue his existing
business; he said he has no plans of opening any kind of a business other than which he has traditionally
done, and said he takes offense to that being referred to; and he asked Council to please use prudence in
moving this forward so he can continue his business. Mr. Hite said this is a time when there are a lot of
vacancies along the valley corridor, and said when he started looking for a new property, he was amazed
at the amount of vacant property, and said he was repeatedly told that he would never be allowed to build
or put a business on the current vacant property, so he said he bought an existing facility, not necessarily
ideal but in his timeframe, this is his total survival. He said if he is not allowed to move within the next
month, he will be out of business.
Councilmember Grafos asked Mr. Connelly, if the adult entertainment referred to in the letter from John
Carroll, the head of the planning commission, if they own both properties, would it be a nonconforming
use, and if they owned both properties before the zone change, would they be able to expand; and Mr.
Connelly said the rules would be applied the same. Mr. Grafos said such establishments would still be
restricted by being 1,000' from a residential area and all of the administrative conditions of this property
with Hite Crane would be no different. Mr. Connelly said the nonconforming right would be the same as
Mr. Hite's property and any other business; and the underlying zoning regulations would not apply to a
nonconforming use that was allowed to expand, and he explained that what council is doing is acting
legislatively, not writing a "Hite- Crane" ordinance or an adult entertainment ordinance, but would be
writing a nonconforming use ordinance that would allow any nonconforming use to expand onto property
adjacent to the original, if the conditions are met as set forth on page 3 of that ordinance. Mr. Grafos said
then we are basically writing a timing ordinance, and said to go out and scare everybody and say we are
going to open the whole city up; the same restrictions apply to those business as any other.
Councilmember Gothmann said if he were the owner of an adult business now, and this ordinance were
adopted, he could purchase the adjacent property and expand into it, and Mr. Connelly said that is correct,
Council Regular Meeting 8 -10 -2010 Page 5 of 1 I
Approved by Council: 08 -24 -2010
if all the other conditions set forth in new section five were met; and said that any business today could
expand onto an adjacent property if they owned it before the nonconforming was created; and if this
ordinance passes, any business will be able to expand onto an adjacent property that was not owned at the
time the nonconforming was created, if the conditions in this ordinance are met. Councilmember Grassel
said she also takes exception with the comments from Mr. Carroll, and feels this is used as a scare - tactic
as only addressing the one type of business.
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and
seconded, to advance the ordinance amending SVMC 19.20.060 to a second reading. To clarify, this
means the ordinance will be advanced as written with the first #5 option and not the second #5 option to
include a conditional use permit. Councilmember Gothmann said this ordinance presents some significant
difficulties as it is a general ordinance and not for a specific property; and he distributed copies of "Comp
Plan Description 2.5.6 Industrial Designations" and he read the description of "heavy industry" and
stressed that "heavy industry" may have "significant noise, odor or aesthetic impacts to surrounding
areas" and "commercial, residential and most recreational uses should not be allowed in areas designated
for heavy industry." Councilmember Gothmann said that Mr. Hite is moving from an I -2 zone to a
corridor mixed use which is designed for business and residences; and he distributed a chart showing the
NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) codes for those kinds of businesses, and
directed attention to the "crane rental with operator" entry. Councilmember Gothmann said the chart
indicates that a business engaged in "asphalt coating and sealing" can be in the I -2 zone; and said at the
17515 Sprague site, we could have an asphalt sealing and coating business, or a driveway paving or
sealing, or concrete sawing and drilling firm, or the crane rental with operator; and said these are all 1 -2
heavy industrial applications; and said when he went to the 17515 E Sprague site, he noticed that
Greenacres High School is immediately across the street and said he feels mixing those is not good and
not good public policy; he said he noted immediately to the north is a row of single family residences; and
we would be allowing heavy industry right next to retail uses; he said if Mr. Hite chooses that, such is his
legal right; but said he would not want to encourage more noise, more odor and more aesthetic impacts.
Councilmember Gothmann said Mr. Hite indicated he needs this for expansion; but said after speaking to
the Fire Chief, the Fire Chief informed Mr. Gothmann there is no fire requirement to expand from his
present site; and noted that one of the reasons Mr. Hite chooses Sprague is because Spokane Valley does
not require extra heavy trucks to contribute to the deterioration of our roads as does the State; and said the
reason Mr. Hite would not want to go on Trent is the State charges such a fee; and Councilmember
Gothmann said this particular instance is the "poster child" of why we should not permit it; the expansion
is not the right thing for a neighborhood; he said the sex shop scenario is very real, and once this
ordinance is passed, such shop could expand its business to the adjacent property by purchasing the
property; and said he feels this is the "anti- thesis of good neighborhood design" and by granting
additional rights, this would put the city at risk.
Councilmember McCaslin said he is not worried about the negativity, as Council can always come back
to this issue if a problem arises; but there is a company with 30 people making a living. Councilmember
Gothmann countered that "given a choice of kids and the safety of our children, versus the heavy
industry, I'll choose the kids" although Councilmember McCaslin refuted that such is not the choice.
Councilmember Dempsey said she understands the problems of unintended consequences of actions; that
she realizes Mr. Hite has had difficulty, and said she has mixed feelings about this; that she wants to help
him; she has been to his place on Broadway; and she will vote for this but will do so reluctantly. Deputy
Mayor Schimmels added that he feels this is not totally about Hite Crane; and regarding permits, realizes
that Mr. Hite would not be able to afford to go down the state roadway; that we may not have a permit
system for that in the city; and said these operators generally do not operate without the correct permits.
Vote by Acclamation to advance the ordinance to a second reading: In Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy
Mayor Schimmels, and Councilmembers McCaslin, Grassel, Grafos, and Dempsey. Opposed:
Councilmember Gothmann. Abstentions: None. Motion Carried.

Mayor Towey called for a recess at 7:50 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at 8:04 p.m.
5 Motion Consideration: Selection of City Manager — Mayor To wey
Mayor Towey said he was privileged to see this council work towards a common goal; and he thanked
council for doing a lot of work and evaluations in order to come to a decision which was not an easy
decision; that this position will have a tremendous impact on our city; and said he feels this council did its
homework; that there were excellent candidates; and he thanked all the candidates for applying; and he
asked each councilmember to comment and discuss this issue prior to making a motion. Councilmember
Gothmann echoed Mayor Towey's comments, and said everybody was on the same page all along, and he
felt it was a good process and staff was superb in providing assistance and alternatives. Councilmember
Dempsey said she was impressed with staff, in particular Human Resources Manager John Whitehead;
and said she was pleasantly surprised this council came together on the initial selection to bringing the
finalists down to about ten people; that she felt councilmembers were all looking for the rights things in a
city manager and had the best interests of the city at heart. Councilmember Grafos agreed with the last
statement, and said council did due diligence, that originally there were about 26 candidates; all very well
qualified; and that council worked together for the common good and the welfare of the city and put
individual personal feelings aside, and looked to make the best decision for the city. Deputy Mayor
Schimmels added that this is a work in progress; that there were some great candidates, and said the
council joined in, which was refreshing to see. Councilmember Grassel said she is excited for this new
chapter of the city, that it is somewhat of a new beginning and this is a great opportunity; that council
worked hard together; and she thanked human resources and legal staff; and said she appreciates all those
extra efforts to get all the pertinent information to council. Councilmember McCaslin initially indicated
he would abstain and said he would not vote no as under Robert's Rules abstaining is permitted, but it
was mentioned that the Council's Governance Manual does not permit abstaining; and he said he felt
there was a better candidate. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize
Mayor Towey to enter into contract negotiations with Mike Jackson to fill the position of City Manager.
Councilmember Gothmann said he was impressed with Mr. Jackson's work with regard to ICMA
(International City /County Management Association), and the outstanding reports from Mr. Jackson's
references regarding his ability to work with people. Mayor Towey invited public comment.
Gene Strunk 12902 East Broadway: said the election a while back resulted in four people here elected by
a wide margin to represent the will of the people, those who pay the taxes in this city; and as these new
people came to office, some of the existing people on the council found it necessary, he said in his
opinion, to denigrate the new people coming on by saying they were ill- equipped and needed more
experience, and the critical word in the Valley Voice, was to "learn how to work with the staff." Mr.
Strunk said in his opinion, the public spoke and they wanted changes; these new people came together
and removed Mr. Mercier; there was a great deal of turmoil particularly in the little local paper, the Valley
Voice, which had apparently some interesting ties to Ms. Wilhite, Mr. Munson, and said in his business
opinion, would not be in business if it weren't for the notifications of foreclosures because no one
advertises with them, and said therefore, you can take their credibility at face value. He said there has
been an ongoing dispute and now it sounds like council has determined they are going to give Mr.
Mercier's second -in- command, Mr. Jackson, an opportunity to represent the public, the taxpayers. He
said to Mr. Jackson, that when he is elected, to keep this in the back of his mind that it wasn't that long
ago, a couple weeks ago, that Ms. Grassel asked one of the city staff about a grant application that had to
be voted upon immediately, that night, and when Ms. Grassel asked this individual staff member, who he
said Mr. Jackson will oversee, why they were not given prior notice and why does council have to vote
immediately tonight; that individual told Ms. Grassel that it was new to him and that if we want these
millions of dollars in grant money, you have to vote on it tonight. Mr. Strunk said that in fact, was a bald -
faced lie; that staff individual knew about this four to six weeks prior to bringing that before Ms. Grassel;
he said Ms. Grassel was inadvertently condemned again in the Valley Voice. Mr. Strunk said he is
getting a little tired of how the people who were defeated and thrown out of office again by the taxpayers,
still have influence in this council; and said apparently we cannot give up the past; and he recommended
to Mr. Jackson that as taxpayers, there are a lot of things wrong, and more wrong than right with this city
Council Regular Meeting 8 -10 -2010 Page 7 of 11
Approved by Council: 08 -24 -2010
staff that has been extolled again and again as to their wonderful virtues; and said the taxpayers are
picking up the tab for this. He continued by stating that for example, the planning and building
department almost doubled their budget from the prior year and added 1.75 additional employees built
into that budget; he said you're going to be in charge of them, and said the only problem with this
wonderful plan that Mr. Munson, Ms. Wilhite and a few people sitting here had, is that if you'll look at
the production of this one only department, there's nothing going on. He suggested people look outside
as there are no new houses going up, yet he said, the budget goes up almost a million dollars for this one
department, $700,000, and he said there is no oversight on this. Further he said, in the next six months,
the income to this city is going to go in the tank; and said we are in absolutely precarious times as a
nation financially, and said the reason these new four individuals were brought to office, is because the
public in general recognizes this point that we're in trouble, and they were put here to safeguard the
taxpayer's interest; and he said this continual idea that these progressive status views, whether it be a porn
shop going up, using this same legal diatribe we heard here tonight, when a man who has 30 grown men
with families is just trying to stay in business, and to use these scare tactics, that is the continual modus
operandi of these individuals that have held office too long and when they can't win the argument, they
try a scare tactic. Mayor Towey reminded Mr. Strunk that the topic is the selection of Mr. Jackson and to
please make comments toward that topic. In summary, Mr. Strunk said that Mr. Jackson is nothing more
than a reflection of Mr. Mercier, and said in his opinion, council has made a big mistake, and there will be
the same problem with staff that brought the new four people to office, and he said the public will not
tolerate it in the next round of elections.
Mayor Towey said council appreciates comments from citizens, and council encourages citizens to
comment. Councilmember Dempsey reminded everyone that Spokane Valley is in better shape than
almost every city in the State of Washington; there are no layoffs and the services remain the same with
no cuts; that we have had sound fiscal management; that the country is in dire shape, but that is not the
fault of the city nor of the staff; she said staff's job is to make the citizens happy, and if that doesn't
occur, they don't have a job; therefore, she said staff would not try to act contrary to what citizens want;
she said she is offended that the staff and the city have been insulted.
Arne Woodward, 2511 S Best Road, Spokane Valley, 99037 said council interviewed 26 applicants no
doubt from all over the country; that his biggest concern is that in the interviewing, he hopes we got the
candidate who has a passion for Spokane Valley, as he feels it takes a passion to understand who we are,
and where we are going; and he said Mr. Jackson at least appears to understand some of the issues the
Council has, that he has been more than willing to listen and has been a solid candidate, and if that
continues, we will continue to build the city.
Tony Lazanis, 10626 E. Empire, Spokane Valley said he agrees with the everything the other man said
except he feels Mr. Jackson is his own man; and said he does not know if Mr. Jackson will follow Mr.
Mercier's agenda; but that Mr. Jackson is a good man.
Nancy Holmes, 1411 E. Mission, with Avista said her job at Avista is regional business manager
assigned to Spokane Valley; that one of the things she feels Mr. Jackson will have going for him is the
staff here at the city; that Avista works on a lot of issues with the city, and said she finds the staff is
dedicated, cooperative, and willing to discuss issues; and she congratulated Mr. Jackson and said she feels
he will have a solid staff behind him.
Deputy Mayor Schimmels said Mr. Strunk brought up the permit center and building permits and our
community development groups; he said we haven't carried this through the rest of the month this year,
but we doubled our permit revenue in May of 2010 and he said that just didn't happen; there is work
being carried on here daily; and he said council has given staff a fairly heavy load with the
reconsideration of Sprague Avenue and said he disagrees with Mr. Strunk's statement. Councilmember
Dempsey said that Mr. Jackson came in as Deputy City Manager about the same time she came on
council; that she knew him initially from good reports from just about everybody; that he worked quietly

I
as the Deputy City Manager, and when he stepped into the position as City Manager, he did so calmly and
coolly and he was able to work with everyone to alleviate the anxiety and stress; that he is a people -
person who can help people reach agreement on many things, and said she feels this selection is the best
person of all those excellent, highly qualified applicants. Councilmember Grafos said most of the 26
applicants were very well qualified, and after review of the applications, he concluded the selection
should be Mike Jackson, that he understands and has a sense of who we are as a community; he knows we
are not other cities and he has demonstrated a willingness to meet, discuss and listen to everyone; that he
is customer - service oriented and speaks often of how the city can best serve its citizens; he has a
common - sense, nonconfrontational approach to solving complex problems such as his work to conclude
the sheriff's contract after years of work; and said he feels Mr. Jackson is just what the city needs to come
together as a real community. Mayor Towey said one of his highest priorities in evaluating these qualified
applicants, was honesty followed by integrity; and said because we are a contract city, we needed a
people - person, someone who works with others and gets along in difficult times; and he thanked Mr.
Jackson for stepping up in a difficult time, and he commended Mr. Jackson for an outstanding job during
these last seven months, adding that he didn't have a deputy city manager to help him. Councilmember
Grasse] said she will support and endorse the person chosen by council tonight; and said it came down to
who has the most years of experience, and while Mr. Jackson "rose to the cream of the crop" as far as the
final contenders, but said having run a city was an important factor. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor:
Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, and Councilmembers Dempsey, Gothmann and Grafos.
Opposed. Councilmembers Grassel and McCaslin. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
6. Motion Consideration: Law Enforcement Contract — Mike Jackson
Mr. Jackson thanked council for their support, and said he "wouldn't expect anything less than a lot of
varied opinions in our city" and that the challenge we face is to embrace all the opinions and pull the
community together and respect the diverse viewpoints we have; and said he appreciates, respects, and
enjoys the wide diversity we have in Spokane Valley, and will do his very best for this city.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute the interlocal law enforcement agreement with Spokane County. City Manager Jackson said after
meeting once a week for six months, we have agreement on the Law Enforcement Contract, and he
highlighted the changes in this interlocal from the previous agreement; and acknowledged the help of City
Attorney Connelly, Police Chief VanLeuven, and Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka for their
extensive work on this issue; and said this is scheduled for approval consideration by the County
Commissioners at their meeting next week. Mr. Jackson also went over the cost increases including a
4.5% cost of living allowance and health insurance which equates to approximately $684,000; and he
mentioned one of the new tools in this agreement is greater communication among all entities involved.
Mayor Towey invited public comment and Tony Lazanis asked several questions of how revenues are
received and spent and Mr. Koudelka explained that there are laws and rules governing how specific
revenue funds are to be spent; that the "seizure" amount is a shared fund, and the fines and forfeitures
amount to approximately $1 million in revenues for this city. Arne Woodward, Best Road commended
council and the staff in moving forward with the contract, and for the steps taken to have good working
relationships. Councilmembers extended their appreciation to staff for their work on this contract. Vote
by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
At 9:00 p.m., it was moved by Councilmember Dempsey and seconded, to extend the meeting one hour.
Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, and Councilmembers Grassel,
Grafos, Gothmann and Dempsey. Opposed: Councilmember McCaslin. Abstentions: None. Motion
carried.
7. Motion Consideration: Setting Preliminary Budget Hearings — Ken Thompson
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to set the 2011 Budget hearings for September
14 and September 28, 2010. Finance Director Thompson explained that the law requires Council to set
two budget hearings, and those dates fit nicely into the schedule. Mayor Towey invited public comment;
Council Regular Meeting 8 -10 -2010 Page 9 of I 1
Approved by Council: 08 -24 -2010
no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions:
None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Towey invited general public comments.
Deputy City Attorney Driskell: said he wanted to take this opportunity to mention that this is Mr.
Connelly's' last public meeting with the City, that he put in five good hard years, and he wanted to
publicly thank him for his legal knowledge, healthy approach on how to represent a city, and for his
friendship. Mayor Towey extended his thanks to Mr. Connelly for all his advice and for his five years
with the city and said the city benefitted greatly; and he wished Mr. Connelly well in his future endeavors.
City Attorney Connelly thanked everyone for their kind remarks, and said he has enjoyed his tenure here,
that it was a challenge and a pleasure, and his biggest regret is just as he is getting to know
councilmembers, he will be leaving.
Gabe Brown, Community Minded Television (CMTV), 25 W Main, Spokane: requested that General
Manager Robert Foote come before council in the future to present some ideas and ask some questions,
and to go over how to make the most of the money used for this service; and to discuss practical issues on
shooting, presentation, and other possibilities. Mr. Jackson said staff will visit with CMTV to schedule a
time for council.
It was noted that Councilmember McCaslin left the meeting at 9:05 p.m.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS
8. Estimated Revenues and Expenditures — Ken Thompson
Via his PowerPoint presentation, Finance Director Thompson gave a preview of the 2011 proposed
budget, which is $62 million, which is down from 2010; he said most vacant positions were dropped from
the budget resulting in $350,000 savings, and said departments are expecting to save 3% in the current
budget, which results in a savings of approximately $1 million. Councilmember Grassel said she would
like to see the preservation and maintenance fund for roads and Mr. Jackson said that will come next
week as Public Works will be giving a presentation on the street preservation plan and will repeat the
projections for capital projects and council can determine what the target might be, and he said not
knowing what the future economy will be, it might be too soon to use reserves for capital projects;
adding that we are in a solid financial situation now; and council can discuss this and provide staff
direction.
9. Subarea Plan (SARP) Report to Council on Neighborhood Center — Mike Basinger
Senior Planner Basinger went through his PowerPoint presentation giving the recap of the July 22, 2010
public meeting on the Neighborhood Center District Zone; and explained the process to address the issues
at hand: Issue #1 Nonconforming Uses would be a code text amendment; Issue #2 Setbacks and Parking
would be a comp plan change; Issue #3 is the one -way vs. two -way street network, which would be a
comp plan amendment; Issue #4 District Zone Map would be a comp plan amendment; Issue #5
Permitted Used would be a code text amendment and /or a comp plan amendment; Issue #6 Architectural
Standards would be a code text amendment, and it was mentioned that issue will be addressed in whole
after all sections of the Subarea plan have been addressed; and Issue #7 conditional use permits, would be
a comp plan amendment. Mr. Basinger said they are seeking council direction, and said staff will bring
this back at a later meeting as a motion consideration to send to the Planning Commission; and the comp
plan changes will be addressed later. There was no council objection to proceed. There was some
discussion about a letter from Mr. Hume stating that there are 36 uses no longer allowed and that council
would like further information in that regard. There was also mention of Council's desire to change the
language enough to make those uses all conforming through the code text amendment, and there appeared
to be council consensus to do so.

10. Advance A eg nda
Councilmember Dempsey mentioned she will not be at the August 31 meeting. Mayor Towey suggested
forming an ad hoc committee to study what can be done to help the businesses in Sprague; he said the
plan to turn Sprague into a two -way won't happen in the near future, and he is concerned about the
businesses and suggested this committee to study the situation to determine what can be done now; he
suggested the committee be comprised of one member from the Planning Commission, one member from
staff, four citizens, and one Councilmember, and to give the committee a mandate to get some
suggestions and ideas. Councilmember Gothmann suggested we get citizens who are involved with
businesses. The specific area was discussed and Mayor Towey said he did not want to include the entire
six -mile corridor, but perhaps focus on University to Argonne. Councilmember Dempsey suggested
extending that to the freeway; and Councilmember Grafos said he is not in favor of such committee as if
we do that, we should have similar committees to discuss the Industrial Park, or the businesses on Trent,
or those east of Sullivan, and Councilmember Grassel agreed. After discussing the pros and cons of such
a committee, at least three councilmembers agreed to have this as an upcoming agenda item for further
discussion.
The upcoming outside agency presentations was mentioned and that we received applications from
eighteen agencies, and it was suggested to split the presentations into two meetings, with social service
agencies presenting at one meeting, and the economic development agencies presenting at another.
INFORMATION ONLY: The following items were for information only and were not reported or

11707 E. Sprague Ste 106
Spokane Valley, WA 99206
Honorable Mayor Towey
I am opposed to any action that would allow the expansion of nonconforming uses. The City's
nonconforming use provisions allow a business activity, which no longer fits the character of the
neighborhood, to continue operation until they close or move.
The issue of allowing the expansion of nonconforming uses arose because Hite Crane is attempting to
establish an industrial use in a neighborhood that is primarily retail and residential. Hite Crane knew
before acquiring the proposed site that it was not adequate in size for a crane operation and their
business would be a nonconforming use. Although the replacement of one nonconforming use by
another is allowed, Hite Crane knew that expansion of a nonconforming use beyond its current site is
not authorized under our city code. Hite Crane's request to change the code was heard by the Planning
Commission. The Planning Commission recommended to the City Council to deny the request. The City
Council voted to reject the Planning Commission's recommendation. The City Council is now positioned
to change the city code to permit the expansion of nonconforming uses and create a situation where the
entire city may suffer for Hite Crane's choices.
Not only will Hite Crane be allowed to expand, but so will any other nonconforming use, in particular the
businesses that specialize in 'adult products' or 'adult entertainment'. Currently, wherever these
businesses are operating they are nonconforming. While there are many citizens who would have
these businesses shut down and not allowed in the city, the Courts have, citing the First Amendment,
upheld these businesses' right to operate. Because of their legal right to operate, the City established
places, not on our main street, where these businesses could operate. This council is about to give them
carte blanche to expand on our main street.
The City Council will probably make some lame attempt to mitigate their mistake in allowing the
expansion of nonconforming uses by limiting the expansion to certain zones or requiring a conditional
use permit, but neither of these actions can or will stop the expansion of operations offering adult
products or adult entrainment. The 'adult entainment' industry has a history of being extremely
litigious and willing to make their case in the courts.
The impact of the 'adult entertainent' establishments on local neighborhoods and business decisions
should not be underestimated. As an example, a Porsche dealership wanted to establish in auto -row
but chose to go to another site in a different City because of the proximity of an 'adult entertainment'
establishment to the auto -row site.
r °L. 0
The City Council should not help Hite Crane by opening the door to the expansion of those businesses
we would seek to control. The City Council needs to reject any action that would allow the expansion of
nonconforming uses.

Comp Plan Description
2.5.6 Industrial Designations
Providing for industrial land is important for the economic health of Spokane Valley.
Industrial businesses help drive the local economy and create an economic multiplier
effect throughout the region. Providing an adequate supply of usable land with minimal
environmental constraints and infrastructure in place helps ensure that Spokane Valley
will be an attractive place for industrial businesses to locate and prosper. (See Chapter 7,
Economic Development, for additional policies that encourage recruitment and retention
of industrial business.).
Heavy Industry
Heavy industry is characterized by intense industrial activities which include, but are not
limited to, manufacturing, processing, fabrication, assembly /disassembly, freight - handling
and similar operations. Heavy industry may have significant noise, odor or aesthetic
impacts to surrounding areas. [Emphasis added. WG]
Commercial, residential and most recreational uses should not be allowed in areas
designated for heavy industry, except for small -scale ancillary uses serving the industrial
area. The conversion of designated industrial lands to other uses should be limited.
Limiting incompatible uses ensures a competitive advantage in business recruitment by
providing adequate industrial land supply, reducing land use conflicts and preventing
inflation of land prices. Moreover, allowing a wide variety of commercial, retail and other
uses in the Industrial areas would be in conflict with other portions of this Plan related to
concentrating major commercial growth in nodes at the intersection of major streets.
Light Industry
The Light Industry designation is a planned industrial area with special emphasis and
attention given to aesthetics, landscaping, and internal and community compatibility.
Uses may include high technology and other low- impact industries. Light Industry areas
may incorporate office and commercial uses as ancillary uses within an overall plan for the
industrial area. Non - industrial uses should be limited and in the majority of cases be
associated with permitted industrial uses.
The Light Industry category may serve as a transitional category between heavy industrial
areas and other less intensive land use categories. The category may also serve as a visual
buffer for heavy industrial areas adjacent to aesthetic corridors.
