Re• 180-day notice of termination of Interlocal Agreement for Provision of Hearing Examiner
Services in the City of Spokane Valley
Dear Gerry,
As we have discussed previously, and consistent with the action of the City Council on June 19,
2018, the City is hereby giving 180-day notice of termination of this interlocal agreement
pursuant to Section 4. While the City has greatly benefitted from this agreement over the years,
we feel it is in the City's best interest at this time to seek a different Hearing Examiner to
consider the land use and dangerous dog matters for the City. As you will note, this will carry
the services to the end of 2018.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this matter, and thank you for your
consideration.
Very truly yours,
ICL t / i
