By investing in I -Iistory you help to create a community that understands it's shared experiences. This creates a community more capable of meeting adversity as a united family instead of a divided house. 2. Investing in history gives a community a better quality of life. The museum builds connections by providing a common forum in which communities can explore, discuss and reflect upon their future by learning from their past. These connections help reduce stress and illness by putting life in perspective and providing answers and friends when they are needed most. 3. A confidence in the future and a community that is willing to work harder and dream bigger because its members are confident in themselves. Through the connections, the museum makes and through its contributions to the community's quality of life, a confidence in the future is built. Communities are prepared to work harder to achieve new dreams and build a bigger, better road to tomorrow - because they have a solid foundation on which to build. That foundation comes " from a community's pride in its accomplishments and its sense that working together can accomplish more than working alone. 4. Investing in a museum enhances the economy of a community with a better quality environment for work and worker. It brine tourists and visitors into the community year around to stay in hotels, eat meals and shop. Businesses thrive in communities like this, as their employees are happier, healthier, and more inclined to shop and do business locally. S. Building strong, functioning, vital communities as an investment in the future. Who would have thought the past could have such an impact on our lives? We often loot: to the future so strongly that we forget that the greatest gift history gives us is ourselves. 14istory shapes us, defines us, and tells us how to conduct business. It is what is important in our lives and hearts, and even provides our sense of value and worth. Just as we invest in roads of our communities to help us conduct business, visit friends and build families, we should invest in the roads that connect us to our history and heritage and our place in the present. Tourism & Visitor Investment The Spokane Valley Legacy Foundation plans to aggressively market the Heritage Museum as a Cuirural and Heritage Tourist Facility. Extensive research with the Washington State Tourism Office, Community Trade and Economic Development Agency, and numerous other museums show that Cultural and Heritage Tourism is the fastest growing segment of the Tourist Industn.. Industry. Research shows that on average Cultural and Heritage Tourists spend more time and moncy as compared to other travelers.

The property is owned by Spokane County. FIINANNGS OF FACT The Spokane City /County Laindmarks Commission recommended Opportuniiy Township Hall as 'a Spokane Landmark at its April 17, 1996 meeting. The decision was based on the property meeting Criterion A for its association with the historic events of the developinent'of Opportunity Township. AGE Constnicted in 1912, the Opportunity Township . Hall meets the 50 year age criteria for listing . ui. the Spokane Register of Historic Places. CONDITION Despite change in use over time, the Opportunity Township Hall is in fair condition. To discourage vandalism, the windows on the front facade have been closed on the exterior with painted plywood, and on the interior with wallboard and plaster. The original windows are encased and preserved between the protective layers of wood and wallboard. INTEGRITY The building retains the integrity of location, design materials, workmanship, and association. ASSOCLATIVE VALUE (CRITERION A) The historical value of a building's associations with a broad pattern of events is a critical factor in evaluating the significance of a property. In the case of the Opportunity Township Hall, the property is associated with the development of the town of Opportunity, and stands as a reminder of the birth of that cominututy. In '1908, when the state legislature passed a law enabling unincorporated communities to form local units of government called townships, residents first fonned Opportunity Township, an irrigation project community. The township purchased the land from the Modern, Irrigation tC Land Company in 1 910 and constricted the building in 1912. The halt was built in the Spattish Colonial Revival style a style that evolved from the California Mission influence of the time. The Township Hall quickly became the central focal point and gathering spot far the community. From the time the Township Hall was built until the mid - 19205, Spokane Valley experienced a burst of growth brought on by the agricultural development of the area. The Opportunity Block at Sprague Avenue and Pines Road became. the busiest haven of activity in the area with the' Township Hall as the home of township government and center of community activity. Remeinbrances about die buildaig link: die strength and development of the coimnuuity with the property: many residents of'Oppvrtunity belonged to the clubs and organizations which met in'the Township FIAll -- these clubs were committed to lending a helping hand to their neighbor, recognizing that neighbors were the only hope of help should a disaster strike. The Township Hall was home to the first area lih.r.uy, N.vas a meeting place for many churches, •and to various civic and social organizations, silent movies. and a variety of activities including rummage sales, dances bingo, receptions. The Opportunity Township Hall building has been through several updates and remodels, patchings and mendings, although the uses of the hall have changed little over the years.. Townships, as a form of local government, were dissolved in 1.972, and Opportunity is now a part of larger Spokane County. When the townships dissolved, the property was taken over by Spokane County. The building continues to be used .for community events. FINAL, DESIGNATION DECISION In conclusion, Opportunity Township Hall is architecturally significant under Criteria A for evaluating historic properties. The Spokane Landmarks Commission unanimously approved a motion to designate Opportunity Township Hall to the Spokane Register, based on the Findings of Fact, as set forth in this document. i Significant Features: all exterior portions of the building. PROTECTION MEASURES Control s No significant feature (as noted above) may be altered, whether or not a. building permit is required, without first obtaining a Certificate of Appropriateness from the Landmarks.

Owner intends to bind his /her land and all successors and assigns. The Management Standards are: "THE SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR'S STANDARDS FOR REHABILITATION AND GuIDEUNFS FOR REHABILITATING HISTORIC BUILDINGS (Revised 1983)." Compliance with the Management Standards shall be monitored by the Historic Landmarks Commission. HISTORIC LANDMARKS COMMISSION The Owner(s) must first obtain from the Commission a "Certificate of Appropriateness" for any action which would affect any of the following: A. demolition; B. relocation C. change in use; or D. any work that affects the exterior appearance of the historic landmark; In the case of an application for a "Certificate of Appropriateness" for the demolition of a landmark, the Owner(s) agrees to meet with the Commission to seek alternative to demolition. These negotiations may last no longer than forty-five (45) days. If no alternative is found within that time frame, the Commission may take up to forty-five (45) additional days to attempt to develop alternatives, and /or to arrange for the salvage of architectural artifacts and structural recording. Additional and supplemental provisions are found in County ordinances governing historic landmarks. 4. Oonortunity Township Hall resolution Language Discussion Parks & Recreation Director Jackson went over the provisions of the resolution. Councilmember Schimmels asked about pledging assets in reference to #4, and City Manager Mercier mentioned the conveyance document will be a deed. [Deputy Mayor Wilhite arrived.] It was Council consensus to bring this document forward to the February 24 agenda. 5. Senior Center Bus Parks & Recreation Director Jackson explained that in 1999, the Spokane Valley Senior Citizen's Association donated a 17 passenger bus to Spokane County, that the County later transferred the bus back to the Seniors (effective date March 1, 2004); that we are currently providing the driver, but once the bus is owned by the Association, our insurer recommends against a city employee driving it. Director Jackson said that the Senior Citizen Association requested that the City continue to fund the cost of a bus driver for the Tuesday and Thursday bus routes for 2004. In addition, Mr. Jackson received a letter that the Senior board president may change, which could change the Senior's desired outcome in this issue. Director Jackson will gather more information and report back to council as information becomes available. 6. Refreshment Policy Draft. Finance Director Thompson explained that the City often provides refreshments and light meals prior to, during and /or after City meetings, and that the State Auditor's Office has advised that a formal policy regarding this practice is preferred. It was Council consensus to place this resolution on the next council consent agenda. 7. Fiscal Policy Investment Review Finance Director Thompson stated that he recommends we increase the 25% limitation investment with a single financial institution, to 50% when collateral is pledged to secure the investment and the collateral is held by a third party. Mr. Thompson explained that this increase will result in greater investment earnings with very little change in risk. It was Council consensus to place this resolution on the next council consent agenda. 8. Barker Bridge Project Public Works Director Kersten reported that last October, the Bridge Replacement Advisory Committee selected the Barker Road Bridge project for funding, and that in January, staff received notice that the Federal Highways Administration accepted that recommendation to fund the project; and that although typical funding is at 80 %, this project will be provided at 100% federal reimbursement, which is because of credits received due to the operation of the State of Washington ferry system in the Puget Sound area. Director Kersten explained that this would result in a budget savings of $1,620,000. Director Kersten added that construction is slated to start next summer and the design is still being explored. 9. Proposed amended Sign Code Ordinance, Institutional Uses. Long Range Planner Kuhta explained that this change is prompted by a request by Valley Hospital for them to have greater flexibility for hospital signage, and to separate hospitals from other current uses. Mr. Kuhta reported that the Planning Commission recommends not separating hospitals from other public uses in the UR -22 zone. After further discussion concerning the size of signs and criteria for zoning code amendments, it was council consensus to bring this matter forward on the 24 agenda. 10. Signage Issues Community Development Director Sukup said that the County went through a process of amending their sign ordinance with the primary affects to prohibit off - premise advertising; that an election was held to determine if billboards and current signs should be amortized, which vote passed by 56 -44 %.

STAFF CONTACT: ATTACHMENTS Resolution 04- Tom Scholtens, C.B.O. Building Official City of Spokane Valley 3/13/06 Regarding the recent proposal by the Heritage Foundation to fence off the museum property. We strongly request the officials with the new City of Spokane Valley not to indorse such a project. We are all for a museum to house and maintain the valley's historic items. A museum is welcomed, who said anything about moving in a school house to further congest an already crowded area with a court yard? If there were a disaster in this block would there be enough time to evacuate 200 vehicles out a small alley barely large enough for a fire truck? Delivery trucks with trailers have little if any room for access. Preserve the school house, just not here. It wasn't a part of the history of this block to begin with. This entire block has significant historic origins and could be argued even more so that the Opportunity Hall. This area was designed years ago for smaller vehicles, less people and a different life. These building are the last and only true original core of the valley and Opportunity. This proposal seeks to further isolate and compromise the various businesses housed in them as access is limited now and would be cut by a third additionally. They are essentially single use structures. You can't just put any business in them and have success, even more so with the changes the museum wants to do. Every owner currently operating has been here many years before the City Council created this issue. All have invested in the community with purchases of the respective real estate as well as the associated trade. All the proprietors have always worked together with parking, lighting, plowing and the such to be successful, save one. Even though it is seldom attended few would argue against the museum. But I can't believe the original intent of the city when this property was deeded to Heritage was to harm the existing business in the historic strip. Need I remind anyone that the rest of us actually pay taxes! The old town of Opportunity is right here and we are the ones that actually contribute to the financial success of our new city. The access to these properties have been in place for over SO years. In fact many were under the impression Spokane County granted easement and access through and including the county property when Sprague was widened and all street parking was eliminated. We have an attorney researching at this time. In addition the curtsey of a visit was never done to inform anyone of the plans, the discovery was a fluke. We have all been informed by the management of the museum that enough contacts and relationships have been established with new city government that it doesn't matter what we say or do. I sincerely hope that is not the case. Please don't be apart of allowing the deterioration of this block.

To: Mike Jackson, Director of Parks and Recreation cc: Chris Bainbridge, City Clerk From: Stanley M. Schwartz, Interim City Attorney Subject: Conveyance of Opportunity Township Hall Date: February 3, 2004 I. INTRODUCTION. This memorandum will outline the process and discuss issues presented by the conveyance of Opportunity Township Hall to the Spokane Valley Legacy Foundation. II. ANALYSIS A. Legal Authority City Ordinance 03 -071, Section 7 provides for the disposition of public property. Section 7 states that upon the recommendation of a Department Director, the Finance Director may declare property surplus upon certain criteria. Following the determination that the City does not anticipate a practical, efficient or appropriate use for Opportunity Township Hall, the Finance Director is authorized to sell the property by public auction, bid or other method of sale on terms deemed to be in the best interest of the City. Notice of a proposal to declare surplus shall be given to the City Council. I observe the decision to declare property surplus is solely the prerogative of the Council. RCW 35A.11.010. The above Ordinance continues by providing that if the Council declares real property surplus, then an appraisal shall be secured and there will be a public auction or formal bidding process. A declaration of surplus would occur through a resolution of the Council. Alternatively, I believe based upon RCW 35A.11.010 the Council retains all power related to property disposition. In Washington, RCW 39.33.020 provides for the disposition of surplus real property that has a value of more than fifty- thousand dollars. This law states that the city shall hold a public hearing and - publish notice of the hearing at least ten days but more than twenty -five days prior to the hearing. Notice shall also be published at least once i a newspaper of general circulation in the area where the property is located. A news release re ated to the hearing shall also be given to the print and electronic media. The public notice and ne s release shall identify the property using a description which can be understood by the public i cluding the proposed use of the lands. RCW 39.33.020 has been the subject of interpretation by our Attorney General, who has concluded that the public hearing requirement of the statute only applies to intergovernmental transfers of property. Frankly, I believe the better practice is to hold the public hearing in order to get input from the citizens prior to disposing of significant real property. I recommend the public hearing procedure be followed for this disposition. B. City Procedure I recommend the following process be followed by the City. 1. The City Council, by Resolution, shall declare the property surplus and make findings with respect to the budget and financial impacts of disposition. This should include recognition that this property does not generate net income and the public interest will be served by the development of a museum for the citizens of the City. (It should be recognized that besides the rental income and the cost paid by the City to maintain the property there are other indirect costs which reduce the value and utility of this property to the City). 2. The Resolution shall be the subject of a public hearing before the City Council. At the public hearing staff should make a report with respect to the museum funding, development process and public use. These are matters which should be made part of the record to support the conveyance. 3. The property will be conveyed by deed with reversionary language in it providing that the property will revert to the City if it is not properly developed within a certain time period, not used as a museum, the Foundation or its successor is no longer in existance and such other matters as may be important to the City. C. Consideration to the City When a city disposes of surplus property, the goal is to obtain fair market value. The determination of fair market value is always a matter of opinion which must be balanced against the utility of the property and the costs incurred in the property disposition. Article VIII, Section 7 of the State Constitution provides that a city shall not give money or property to an individual or corporation except to support the poor or infirm. A "gift" analysis involves many factors including the public benefit attached to the transaction. With respect to the value of Opportunity Hall, I believe it is important for the City to consider the income and expense history, the historic landmark designation which both imposes an obligation to maintain the historic integrity of the property and preserves a public asset and the value to the community through the development of a museum. I believe these are all factors which should be weighed in the consideration of fair market value and public benefit. Finally, with reversionary language in the deed the City will reacquire the property if it is not used for the express purposes ti that have been agreed upon. This interest retains some public ownership for the future. III. CONCLUSION If the City Council desires to allow the use of Opportunity Township Hall by the Spokane Legacy Foundation a Resolution of the City Council should be passed. The Resolution should identify the property transfer, its use, value to the City and citizens and recognition that the property may be reacquired. When the Resolution is up for consideration, I believe it is good public policy to follow the notice and hearing procedures set forth in the above identified state law.

There are two requests for rental of this facility in work. (1) For use as a museum, offer of $300 per month rent plus utilities on a month -to -month basis, with some exterior repairs to the stucco fagade proposed. Parks is doing background check and needs information from applicant as to dollar value and time period for building repairs. (2) For use as an antique furniture store, offer of $800 per month five -year lease. Parks is doing background check. Once all information is provided to Parks, there will be an legal publication for three consecutive weeks that the Commissioners will consider these proposals. The Commissioners will hold a public hearing where written comments will be received, then evaluate all information and make a decision. If objections are raised, there will be need to respond prior to a decision. 11707 E.

The Quit Claim Deed transfers Opportunity Township Hall and the related real property to the Spokane Valley Legacy Foundation. The Deed must be accompanied by the Excise Tax Affidavit at the time it is recorded with the Spokane County Auditor. Because the transfer is from the City there is no excise tax payable to the state. After you have signed the enclosed documents, you may want to contact the Legacy Foundation and have them pick up the Deed and Excise Tax Affidavit.

The props rIIV is owned by Spokane County. FINDINGS OF FACT The Spokane City /County Landmarks Commission recommended Opportunity Township Hall as a Spokane Landmark at its April 17, 1996 meeting. The decision was based on the property meeting Criterion A for its association with the historic events of the development of Opportunity Township. AGE Constructed in 1912, the Opportunity Township Hall meets the 50 year age criteria for listing in the Spokarnc Register of Historic Places. CONDITION Despite change in use over time, the Opportunity Township Hall is in fair condition. To discourage vandalism, the windows on the front facade have been closed on the exterior with painted plywood. and on the interior with wallboard arid plaster. The original windows are encased and preserved bet-,veen the protective layers of wood and wallboard. INTEGRITY Tile building retains the integrity of location, design. materials, workmanship and association. ASSOCIATIVE VALUE (CRITERION A) The historical value of a building's associations with a broad pattern of events is a critical factor in evaluating the significance of a property. In the case of the Opportunity Township Hall, the property is associated with the development of the town of Opportunity, and stands as a reminder of the birth of that corurllurnity. In 1908, when the state legislature passed a law enabling unincorporated communities to form local units of goverruilont called townships, residents first formed Opportlnim. Township. an irrigation project community. The township purchased the land from the Nlodern Irrigation cC I.,and Company in 1 910 and constnlcted the building in 1912. Tile hall was built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, a sty lo that evolved from the California i\ fission influence of the time. The Township Hall quickly became the central focal point and gathering spot for the Conlin Lill IN From the time the Township Hall was built until the nlld-1920s, Spokane Valley experienced a burst of grow brought on by the agricultural development of the area. The Opportunity Block at Sprague Avenue and Pines Road became the busiest haven of activity in the area with the "Township Hall as the home of township government and center of community activity. ATTEST: WILLIAM E. D NAHUE, Clerk of the B and d. Remembrances about the building link the strength and development of the colllcnunitV with the propert" many residents of Opportllrllty belonged to the clubs and organizations which nlet in the Township Hall— these clubs were committed to lending a helping hand to their neighbor, recognizing that neighbors % erc the only hope of help should a disaster strike. The "Township Hall was home to the first area library. %kas a meeting place for many chln and to various civic and social organizations, silent movies, and a varick. of act►vllles Including runurlagC sales. dances, bingo. receptions. The Opportunity Township Hall building has been through several updates and remodels, patchulgs and ni ndings, although the uses of the hall have changed little over the _years.. Townships, as a fond of local government, were dissolved in 1972, and Opportunity is now a part of larger Spokane County. When the townships dissolved, the property was taken over by Spokane County. The building continues to be used for community events. FINAL DESIGNATIOiN DECISION In conclusion, Opportunity Township Hall is architecturally significant under Criteria A. for evaluating historic properties. The Spokane Landmarks Commission unanimously approved a motion to designate Opportunity Township Hall to the Spokane Register, based on the Findings of Fact, as set forth in this document. Significant Features: all exterior portions of the building. PROTECTION MEASURES Controls No significant feature (as noted above) may be altered, whether or not a building permit is required, without first obtaining a Certificate of appropriateness from the Landmarks Commission pursuant to the provisions of 82 -0038. The following exclusion is allowed: In -kind maintenance and repair. Incentives The following incentives are available to tile property owners: 1.

The property was exempt from property tax because it was owned by the County. Any new tax exemption should be sought by the Foundation. 2. Special valuation for tax purposes relates to an owner's investment in the property. It works like this: the owner rehabs a historic property spending, for example, 100K. If the assessor valued the property at 200K before the rehab, after the rehab the "special valuation" for a ten year period is 100K (the 200 minus the 100). The effect is reduced property taxes because of the special valuation. I don't think there was(or is) "special valuation" for the property. 3. Yes, this is land with "previous building" 4. Principal use - commercial is ok unless there is an "other" box in which case put in "government". 5. Don't worry about box No. 8. Hope the above is helpful.

To: Mike Jackson, Director of Parks and Recreation cc: Chris Bainbridge, Cit Clerk From _,— S"t9fey Sch artz, Interim City Attorney �ubiect�Conveyance ofOppo�tunity Township Hall Date: February 3, 2004 I. INTRODUCTION. This memorandum will outline the process and discuss issues presented by the conveyance of Opportunity Township Hall to the Spokane Valley Legacy Foundation. II. ANALYSIS A. Legal Authority City Ordinance 03 -071, Section 7 provides for the disposition of public property. Section 7 states that upon the recommendation of a Department Director, the Finance Director may declare property surplus upon certain criteria. Following the determination that the City does not anticipate a practical, efficient or appropriate use for Opportunity Township Hall, the Finance Director is authorized to sell the property by public auction, bid or other method of sale on terms deemed to be in the best interest of the City. Notice of a proposal to declare surplus shall be given to the City Council. I observe the decision to declare property surplus is solely the prerogative of the Council. RCW 35A.11.010. The above Ordinance continues by providing that if the Council declares real property surplus, then an appraisal shall be secured and there will be a public auction or formal bidding process. A declaration of surplus would occur through a resolution of the Council. Alternatively, I believe based upon RCW 35A.11.010 the Council retains all power related to property disposition. In Washington, RCW 39.33.020 provides for the disposition of surplus real property that has a value of more than fifty- thousand dollars This law slates.that.the.city shall hold a public hearing - nd`publish� notice of the hearing at least ten days bu more than en -five days prior to hearing. Notice shall a so c published at least once i a newspaper of genera cir lu anion m the area wh the property is located. A news release rel ted to the hearing shall also be given to the print and electronic media. The public notice and ne release shall identify the property using a description which can be understood by the public inc uding the proposed use of the lands. 1, RCW 39.33.020 has been the subject of interpretation by our Attorney General, who has concluded that the public hearing requirement of the statute only applies to intergovernmental transfers of property. Frankly, I believe the better practice is to hold the public hearing in order to get input from the citizens prior to disposing of significant real property. I recommend the public hearing procedure be followed for this disposition. B. City Procedure I recommend the following process be followed by the City. 1. The City Council, by Resolution, shall declare the property surplus and make findings with respect to the budget and financial impacts of disposition. This should include recognition that this property does not generate net income and the public interest will be served by the development of a museum for the citizens of the City. (It should be recognized that besides the rental income and the cost paid by the City to maintain the property there are other indirect costs which reduce the value and utility of this property to the City). 2. The Resolution shall be the subject of a public hearing before the City Council. At the public hearing staff should make a report with respect to the museum funding, development process and public use. These are matters which should be made part of the record to support the conveyance. 3. The property will be conveyed by deed with reversionary language in it providing that the property will revert to the City if it is not properly developed within a certain time period, not used as a museum, the Foundation or its successor is no longer in existance and such other matters as may be important to the City. C. Consideration to the City When a city disposes of surplus property, the goal is to obtain fair market value. The determination of fair market value is always a matter of opinion which must be balanced against the utility of the property and the costs incurred in the property disposition. Article VIII, Section 7 of the State Constitution provides that a city shall not give money or property to an individual or corporation except to support the poor or infirm. A "gift" analysis involves many factors including the public benefit attached to the transaction. With respect to the value of Opportunity Hall, I believe it is important for the City to consider the income and expense history, the historic landmark designation which both imposes an obligation to maintain the historic integrity of the property and preserves a public asset and the value to the community through the development of a museum. I believe these are all factors which should be weighed in the consideration of fair market value and public benefit. Finally, with reversionary language in the deed the City will reacquire the property if it is not used for the express purposes 2 that have been agreed upon. This interest retains some public ownership for the future. III. CONCLUSION If the City Council desires to allow the use of Opportunity Township Hall by the Spokane Legacy Foundation a Resolution of the City Council should be passed. The Resolution should identify the property transfer, its use, value to the City and citizens and recognition that the property may be reacquired. When the Resolution is up for consideration, I believe it is good public policy to follow the notice and hearing procedures set forth in the above identified state law. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the above G: \C \City of Spokane Valley 14324\Memorandums \Opportunity Hall.doc Spokane Valley Legacy Foundation PO Box 141341 Spokane WA 99214 Mission Statement The Spokane Valley Legacy Foundation was formed to collect, preserve and exhibit the history and culture of the Spokane Valley for the education and inspiration of the community.

Erected in 1912, and on the Historic Register, the Township Hall was the center of Governmental activities, Chamber meetings, Church Services and Community Events. As the Valley evolved, the Township hall was host to many groups who helped influence development and shaped the Valley's identity. The Township Hall is the perfect place to preserve the history of the Spokane Valley. Reminiscent of times gone by, the building has the character to connect the past with the present. The Township Hall is centrally located and close to City Hall. The Township Hall is structurally and mechanically sound. The interior of the Building is ready for construction of exhibits with some minor modification. The exterior of the Building is in need of restoration. The Flag Pole needs attention and the Washington State Flag and the United States Flag will be displayed properly.

Dear Mr. Jackson: The Spokane Valley Legacy Foundation respectfully requests that the City of Spokane Valley deed ownership of the Opportunity Township Hall to the SVLF for the purpose of establishing a local Heritage Museum for the benefit of the Community. Since its inception in 2000, the SVLF has been collecting, preserving and exhibiting the history and culture of the Spokane Valley. Recognizing the need for cultural identity and community core assets in our new City, our organization has done extensive research on Museum operation and practices, established collaborative relationships with local and state Historical Museums and Entities, identified private and pubft� funding opportunities and strategies, garnered letters of support from the Business and Education sectors, developed a two -year plan and are prepared to implement the plan. The Museum will provide the Community with a heritage to identify with, serve as a resource for the school children and citizens and inspire an ongoing preservation of Spokane Valley History. Occupancy of the Opportunity Township Hall by the SVLF will ensure preservation of the historical landmark. The SVLF has the ability to fulfill its vital mission through a blend of sound management, strong leadership, clear lines of accountability and a passion for our Community. To grant the SVLF the Building would be an investment in the Community. We offer the City of Spokane Valley an opportunity to honor and sustain its heritage, reawaken civic pride and instill a sense of identity in our citizens. Preserving our common Identity makes for a community that knows its origins, enabling it to face future economic growth and development with a greater sense of direction. Sincerely, pokane Valley Legacy Foundation Site Location & Facility Plan • Acquiring a location is the essential next phase of establishing the Museum. Once a location is secured, the Community and various Stakeholders become more engaged. • Opportunity Township Hall is the most appropriate facility to establish the local history Museum. Erected in 1912, and on the Historic Register, the Township Hall was the center of Governmental activities, Chamber meetings, Church Services and Community Events. As the Valley evolved, the Township hall was host to many groups who helped influence development and shaped the Valley's identity. The Township Hall is the perfect place to preserve the history of the Spokane Valley. Reminiscent of times gone by, the building has the character to connect the past with the present. The Township Hall is centrally located and close to City Hall . It will contribute to establishing a City core and become an asset in the City's portfolio. ■ The Township Hall is structurally and mechanically sound. The interior of the Building is ready for construction of exhibits with some minor modification. The exterior of the Building is in need of restoration. The Flag Pole nee attention an a Washington Flag and the United States Flag will be display properly. Contact with the Associated Builders & Contractors and the Spokane Home Builders Association members who donate time and materials to Community Projects. All guidelines and procedures established by the Spokane County Historic Preservation office have been researched and will be adhered to. Spokane Valley Fire District #1 verified that the Building meets Fire Code. The Americans with Disabilities Act will be followed to the letter 'of the law. The Building is currently accessible to Disabled Patrons with the exception of the Restrooms. ■ Security will be addressed with electronic surveillance and with an alarm system for after-hours monitoring. The Sheriff sub - station is approximately a quarter of a mile away. The Back entrance door will be replaced. The numerous windows are aesthetically appealing, however, raise security issues and will be addressed prior to opening the facility. • Grounds- keeping will be at a mirnimnm as the Building is surrounded by Asphalt and Concrete. • Signage will be in accordance with City of Spokane Valley Planning Department ordinances. Benefits of a Heritage Center for the Spokane Valley Investment in History 1. By investing in History you help to create a community that understands it's shared experiences. This creates a community more capable of meeting adversity as a united family instead of a divided house. Z. Investing in history gives a community a better quality of life. The museum builds conncctions by providing a common forum in which communitics can explore, discuss and reflect upon their future by learning from their past. These connections help reduce stress and illness by putting life in perspective and providing answers and friends when they are needed most. 3. A confidence in the future and a community that is willing to work harder and dream bigger because its members are confident in themselves. Through the connections, the museum makes and through its contributions to the community's quality of life, a confidence in the future is built. Communities are prepared to work harder to achieve new dreams and build a bigger, better road to tomorrow because they have a solid foundation on which to build. That foundation comes from a community's pride in its accomplishments and its sense that working together can accomplish more than working alone. 4. Investing in a museum enhances the economy of a community with a better quality environment for work and worker. It brings tourists and visitors into the community year around to stay in hotels, eat meals and shop. Businesses thrive in communities like this, as their employees are happier, healthier, and more inclined to shop and do business locally. S. Building strong, functioning, vital communities as an investment in the future. Who would have thought the past could have such an impact on our lives? We often look to the future so strongly that we forget that the greatest gift history gives us is ourselves. History shapes us, defines us, and tells us how to conduct business. It is what is important in our lives and hearts, and even provides our sense of value and worth. Just as we invest in roads of our communities to help us conduct business, visit friends and build families, we should invest in the roads that connect us to our history and heritage and our place in the present. Tourism & Visitor Investment The Spokane Valley Legacy Foundation plans to aggressively market the Heritage Museum as a Cultural and Heritage Tourist Facility. Extensive research with the Washington State Tourism Office, Community Trade and Economic Development Agency, and numerous other museums show that Cultural and Heritage Tourism is the fastest growing segment of the Tourist Industry. Industry. Research shows that on average Cultural and Heritage Tourists spend more time and money as compared to other travelers. The Heritage Museum has the kitchen facilities to host receptions and events such as reunions that wish to gather at a site of interest. Significant separate space within the Heritage Museum will be dedicated to a Visitors Room to promote Lodging, Restaurants, Events, Festivals and other attractions in the Spokane Valley and surrounding region.

Education Investment ■ The Valley School Districts and several private schools support and endorse the establishment of a Valley heritage center. ■ Students in Washington State are required to study state and local history at the 3 rd & 5 th grade levels.

FINVINGS Q.F FACT The Spokane City /Country Landmarks Commission recommended Opportunity Township Hall as 'a its April 17, 1996 meeting. The decision was based on the property meeting Spokane Landmark at Criterion A for its association with the historic events of the development of Opportunity Township. AGE Constructed in 1912, the Opportunity Township . Hall meets the 50 year age criteria for listing . in the Spokane Register of Historic Places_ CONDITION Despite change in use over time, the Opportunity Township Hall is in fair condition. To discourage vandalism, the windows on the front facade have been closed on the exterior with painted plywood. and on the interior with wallboard and plaster. The original windows are encased and preserved between the protective layers of wood and wallboard. INTEGRITY The building retains the integrity of location, design, materials, workmanship, and association. ASSOCIATIVE VALUE (CRITERIO A) The historical value of a building's associations with a broad pattern of events is a critical factor in evaluating the significance of a property. In the case of the Opportunity Township Hall, the property is associated with the development of the town of Opportunity, and stands as a reminder of the birth of that community. In 1908, when the state legislature passed a law enabling unincorporated conununities to form local units of government called townships, residents first fonned Opportunity Township, an irrigation project community. The township purchased the land from the Modern Irrigation & Land Company in 1 910 and constricted the building in 1912. The hall was built in the Spanish Colonial Revival style a style that evolved from the California Mission influence of the time. The Township Hall quickly became the central focal point and gathering spot for the community. From the time the Township Hall was built until the mid- 1920s, Spokane Valley experienced a hurst of growth brought on by the agricultural development of the area. The Opportunity Block at Sprague Avenue and Pines Road became the busiest haven of activity in the area with the Township Hall as the home of township government and center of community activity. Remembrances about the building link: the strength and development of the community with the property: many residents of'Opportunity belonged to the clubs and organizations which met .in'ihe Township Hall- - these clubs were committed to lenduig a helping hand to their neighbor, recognizing that neighbors were the only hope of help should a disaster strike. The Township Hall was home to the first area libraay, was a meeting place for many churches, -and to various civic and social organizations, silent movies, and a variety of activities including rummage sales, dances,-bingo, receptions. The Opportunity Township Hall building has been through several updates and remodels, patchiugs and mendings, although the uses of the hall have changed little over the years.. Townships, as a form of local government, were dissolved in 1972, and Opportunity is now a part of larger Spokane County. When the townships dissolved, the property was taken over by Spokane County.

The property is ox\jned by Spokane County. FINDINGS OF FACT The Spokane City /County Landmarks Commission recommended Opportunity Township Hall as 'a Spokane Landmark at its April 17, 1996 meeting. The decision was based on the property meeting Criterion A for its association with the historic events of the development of Opportunity Township. AGE Constructed in 1912, the Opportunity Township Hall meets the 50 year age criteria for listing . in. the Spokane Register of Historic Places. CONDITION Despite change in use over time, the Opportunity Township Hall is in fair condition. To discourage vandalism, the windows on the front facade have been closed on tine exterior with painted plywood. and on the interior with wallboard and plaster. The original windows are encased and preserved bet-,veen the protective layers of wood and wallboard. INTEGRITY The building retains the integrity of location, design, materials, workinanship, and association. ASSOCIATIVE VALUE (CRITERION A) The historical value of a building's associations with a broad pattern of events is a critical factor in evaluating the significance of a property. In the case of the Opportunity Township Hail, the property is associated with the development of the town of Opportunity, and stands as a reminder of the birth of that community. In 1908, when the state legislature passed a law enabling unincorporated communities to form local units of government called townships, residents first formed Opportunity Township, an irrigation project community. The township purchased the land from the Modern Irrigation & Land Company inn 1 910 and constricted the building in 1912. The hall was built in the Spaiush Colonial Revival style a style that evolved from the California Mission influence of the time. The Township Hall quickly became tine central focal point and gathering spot for the community. From the time the Township Hall was built until the mid- 1920s, Spokane Valley experienced a burst of growth brought on by the agricultural development of the area. The Opportunity Block at Sprague Avenue and Pines Road became the busiest haven of activity in the area with the Township Hall as the home of township government and center of community activity. Remembrances about the building link the strength and development of the community with the property: many residents of Opportunity belonged to the clubs and organizations which stet .in'ihe Township Hall- - these clubs were committed to lending a helping hand to their neighbor, recognizing that neighbors were the only hope of help should a disaster strike. The Township Hall was home to the first area library was a meeting place for many churches, and to various civic and social organizations, silent movies and a variety of activities including rummage sales, dances, bingo, receptions. The Opportunity Township Hall building has been through several updates and remodels, patchirngs and mendings, although the uses of the hall have changed little over the years.. Townships, as a form of local government, were dissolved in 1.972 and Opportunity is now a part of larger Spokane County. When the townships dissolved, the property was taken over by Spokane County. The building continues to be used for community events. FINAL DESIGNATION DECISION In conclusion, Opportunity Township Hall is architecturally significant under Criteria A for evaluating historic properties. The Spokane Landmarks Commission unanimously approved a motion to designate Opportunity Township Hall to the Spokane Register, based on the Findings of Fact, as set forth in this document.
